java will not work on my mac

Figured it out.

Java from Oracle is not enough. You also need the Java pack direct from apple.com

Under support, search Java. Then download the Java for OSX 2012-006 pack.

Once I did that, the ROES worked perfectly. (I am running OS 10.8.2 and the latest Java 7 as of Feb 5).

I am having the same problem at UCSF. Suddenly, I cannot use the Java applet to access our databases. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Java 7, build 13 which is the newstest and bestest, and it crashes in a fraction of a second. I am not using Java in a browser, but in stand-alone apps which can no longer launch.

I would jump over to Java Support if I were you. Not much Apple or it's users can do for you any more.

Oracle has been making the point that almost all of the vulnerabilities they have identified are associated with the browser plug-in and that's the only thing that Apple has blocked. As long as you don't need it for Safari use, have you considered reverting to Java 7u11 or the developer preview of 7u12?

Hi Hoo,

I suspect that for some reason the JNLP file is not correct associated with the Java Web Start App.

There are some nice instructions on this site that very well could help:

http://www.lancope.com/blog/resetting-jnlp-associations-to-java-web-startapp-in- osx/

Does that solve the problem?

No? was the JNLP alreay associated with Java Web Start.app?

Please paste the output of '/usr/libexec/java_home -V' and '/usr/libexec/java_home -t WebStart'. The first tells what versions of Java are installed, and the second is the fallback Java that should be used if Java 7 is not installed.

Apple has made it very difficult for scandinavians to pay theire bills online. After some research (no luck at Apple's pages) I understood that I had to download "Firefox" to be able to pay my bills. This has been going on for moths now. It's a shame. Everything seems so simple with Apple, except paying your bills.... And you have to find out for yourselves...

Ok i had the same problem until a few steps with the help of roes CS. Team # 315-251-1244

i have a mac book pro 2 updated to mtn lion os 10.8.3

download latest java 7

You have to clear caches in all your roes folders.

my error: was nul.pointer exception

go to finder / Go / go to folder /

type in ~/.roescache

click all and delete

this should clear all roes cache.

go back to BRI download roes and see what happens..

you can aslo go to finder go to folder and type in invidual roes app.s.

~/.BlackRiverImaging

clear all folders..

Good luck and always have a puff to calm the nerves!

I tried this fix but did not work. I too am having this issue with launching a ROES system to send images to print for my studio. I am prompted to download JAVA but Safari says the connection is dropped when I go to download it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Under deadline.

There seems to be something wrong with the Java support site for the past couple of days. I located an alternate source:

Try Java SE Runtime Environment 7 Downloads, click the "Accept License Agreement" button and then select "jre-7u40-macosx-x64.dmg" for download. That works for me at this time.

There is nothing in your profile to tell us what hardware and software you own, so you'll have to tell us. Also, what version of Java SE are you trying to install, 6 from Apple or Oracle's 7 or 8?

Note that this thread is way over a year old, so most of it no longer applies to you.

Many thanks - sorry I'm not too clued up on the etiquette. I've added to my profile, also followed instructions for installing the apple 6 SE and then re-enabling the plugin - I'll see how that works.

Ah, there is another Java release today which seems to have fixed my issue.

Thank goodness, so frustrating when things do not work as you want them to.

Hi renaurd,

Thanks for letting us know, glad to see it's sorted for you 🙂

.

Here is the real kicker! ORACLE EBS apps REQUIRE Java 6!!! I can't work in ORACLE NOW!!!

Apple, Oracle - Let's get the Java Debacle cleared up NOW!!!

Emindee -

Yes we have the exact same problem. I am trying this with WHCC and Simply Color.
