java 7 update 17 not working in safari

I can definitely say it was working last week but when I tried to remote desktop into work which uses Java, but today it doesn't work! I think possibly modifying the blacklist file will resolve things (will need to investigate it myself).

Actually, they didn't block it (just read the plist file). Upon upgrading to 6.0.3 I believe they just made it inactive.

Visit this Sun Java site http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp and active it by clicking on the inactive plugin grey box.

Excelent! I was having the same problem and that just solved it. It should be a simpler way to do that.

I have the same problem on Safari on Windows 7. I followed all the usual issues like checking the registry etc, but no luck.

Excelent! I was having the same problem and that just solved it.

Well done Aleks_Ivic.

I was having the same annoying situation just as Danny Lukic.

And have done all, exactly as he did.

I did what you suggested and it worked just fine!

Everything is all right now!

Thanks

Thanks, Aleks Ivic's suggestion worked for me.

That solved my problem too! Thank you!

being at the same point (installed Jave 7 release 17 yesterday) but Safari all the time displays "missing plugin". Following your advice above the Oracle testpage tells me (in Safari) that it detects an older version of Java and when clicking the test link nothing happens except the anoying "missing plugin" placeholder.

I'll give up, this is the second time Safari runs into such problems with Java. There are other browsers around!

Excellent, thanks, was driving me nuts 🙂

I work for a financial institution that uses Java for the online banking system. It works amazing as we have almost a 0% fraud rate. I don't hate Java like the rest of the world...anyway...on to my question lol

I have heard quite a few of our customers say that they are having a "Blocked Plug-In" today rather than the normal "Missing Plug-In" message. Has Apple blocked Java again or is it some wierd setting? This is the message our customers were receiving when Apple blocked it last time. However, our customers couldn't use Firefox either and this time they can. I haven't seen any news reporting it yet. It's imperative for our customers...I wish Apple would just leave it alone. If I purchase a $2500 computer, leave it alone and let me control it. Don't babysit me. This is why I will never ever ever buy a Mac. Not a fan of communism.

Thans Aleks, this worked for me too!

Hi even I am facing the same problem but java is working when I delete npJavaPlugin.dll file from safari java plugin folder. Now when I close and reopen safari that file again comes there. please help me . I am using safari 5.1.7 in Win 7 64

I have the same problem. With Firefox it works fine. Come on apple, get it sorted.
