Mar 4, 2013 4:40 PM in response to twomonkeyby baltwo,★HelpfulAccording to the latest Java update, to use applets on a webpage, click on the region labeled "Missing plug-in" to go download the latest version of the Java applet plug-in from Oracle. For more on the latest updates, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5648

Mar 6, 2013 10:48 AM in response to baltwoby twomonkey,Hi,
Many thanks for the response.
I followed the advice to install Java 7 update 15 and again this tells me it has installed correctly.
I have reloaded safari (and cleared the Java caches using OnyX) but Java still reports a plug in failure (rather than a missing plug in) when trying to view the Oracle Java test page.
If I try to access the Java control panel in System Preferences as is also suggested I get a Problem Report of:-
Java Control Panel quit unexpectedly while uing the libjvm.dylib plugin.
If you have any suggestions of what I can try next I would be gratefull.
Thanks

Thanks again for your reply, I don't quite understand how a clean install of OSX, software updates and the installation of Java 7u13 then after a week Java 7u15 would not work - but it does not.
I have followed the steps to revert to apples maintained Java 6 and am using this instead.
Thanks for you time and consideration in posting a reply.
