Where can I download Java version 1.6.0_26-b03-384 for Mac OSX 10.6.8, please? I cannot find it anywhere on the internet and i need it because Firefox is complaing that the plug-in is inactive which is BS.
Thanks.
Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Thank you Jon and WZZZ; your help is much appreciated. but unfortunately I am still not having any joy. I followed all the steps but now the popup is just blank instead of showing the inactive plug-in message. I didn't realise how pandemic the problem was until I read this http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/02/01/apple_blocks_java_mac/. Anyway, I thank you all again for your time but I think I am going to knock this one on the head and stick my day job which is supporting Windows.
Is everything enabled in Java Preferences.app in Utilities? Mine, shown here, is disabled, but you need to check all the boxes.
Yes it is, running the same version as you and all the boxes are ticked.
cheers.
I'm seeing that some are editing this, as well. Change from -435 to -434 (that would be if you have the 1.6.0.37 installed.) Also, go into Sys Prefs>Security and, at least temporarily, uncheck Automatically Update Safe Downloads List, to prevent XProtect from overriding your edits.
I noticed that too. I have tried both options '-435' and '-434' which is why i am stumped. Haven't tried disabling the Safe Download List so I'll give that a go.
cheers.
See this post as well.

Did you check to see if it's saving your edited version?
And does it have the proper ownership?
Thank you, I have checked that post and made the neccessary changes. It is saving the edited version and it has the proper ownership.
Sadly it is still not working and I have run out of time and patience. I thank you again but supporting the Mac OS is too frustrating and not for me...
Cheers.
A quick google search for Java for Mac OS X 10.6, reveals that the earliest on Apple's site is Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 6, which contains 1.6.0_29; however, the site's broken (or Apple's decided not to provide anything earlier to users), since clicking on it's link takes you to update 11.
JavaForMacOSX10.6Update5 is available via http://supportdownload.apple.com/download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Appl e_Software_Updates/Mac_OS_X/downloads/041-0592.20110628.BF4ee/JavaForMacOSX10.6U pdate5.dmg but I don't know which version it contains. FWIW, you can also get update 4 and 5 at http://www.cs.wits.ac.za/~scott/apple/Apple-07-25/. Good luck.
Java 7 updated for 10.7-10.8
Released Feb 1, 2013, fixes 50+ security flaws

Download and install

For Java versions 6 and below OS X 10.5-10.6 machines
Apple supplies their own version of Java. For Mac OS X 10.6 and below, use the Software Update feature available under the Apple menu to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java 6 for your Mac.

Java SE 6 End of Public Updates
After February 2013, Oracle will no longer post updates of Java SE 6 to its public download sites. We highly recommend downloading and installing Java 7.
If your considering upgrading OS X from 10.6.8 to 10.8 via AppStore to run Java 7
Be forewarned no PowerPC based programs or driver software will run any longer.
Check here BEFORE you upgrade OS X!

Alternatives if you must run Java 7
If Apple disabled Java 6 in 10.6, and you can't upgrade OS X to 10.8, then your pretty much done with Java in OS X because Oracle won't issue updates for Java 6 anymore.
However you can install Windows 7 and continue to use Java 7+ there until support for Windows 7 ends in 2020. 🙂
Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?
If your on 10.6, I very highly recommend the free Virtualbox for the virtual machine software as it gets updates, VMFusion and Parallels have moved on with only 10.7+
Check Software Update...
APPLE-SA-2013-02-01-1 Java for Mac OS X v10.6 Update 12
Java for Mac OS X v10.6 Update 12 is now available and addresses the
following:
Java
Available for: Mac OS X v10.6.8, Mac OS X Server v10.6.8
Impact: Multiple vulnerabilities in Java 1.6.0_37
Description: Multiple vulnerabilities exist in Java 1.6.0_37, the most serious of which may allow an untrusted Java applet to execute arbitrary code outside the Java sandbox. Visiting a web page containing a maliciously crafted untrusted Java applet may lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the current user.
These issues are addressed by updating to Java version 1.6.0_39.
Further information is available via the Java website at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/releasenotes-136954.html
The link at Apple's download for Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 12 gets redirected to update 11. This is broken and I don't expect any fixes until after the weekend.

I originally had the link in my posting, but pulled it when I found it didn't work.
I've provided feedback, but you're probably right that they won't do anything until next week now. I suspect a few of them put in many extra hours this week.
I sent feedback before posting. Now, they have at least two wake-up calls.👿
Where can I download Java version 1.6.0_26-b03-384 for Mac OSX 10.6.8?
