Since downloading Mtn Lion OS X, several of my games won't load.
I've tried downloading the updated Java, and it now appears on my tool bar, but I can't get it to open/install/or whatever the **** you call it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
Which Java version did you DL? If it is Java 7-17 and you installed it, go to System Preferences > Java > Java Control Panel > Security and check mark "Enable Java COntent in browser".
I installed the most current version according to the Apple page (
Java for OS X 2013-002
by updating Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_43)
Then it says:
On systems that have not already installed Java for OS X 2012-006, this update disables the Java SE 6 applet plug-in. To use applets on a web page, click on the region labeled "Missing plug-in" to download the latest version of the Java applet plug-in from Oracle
I haven't a clue as to what that means.
I went to system preferences and Java doesn't show up on it.... but it's in my dock.

That's because you don't have Java 7.
It means when you go to a web page that wants the Java plug-in there will be an area labeled "Missing plug-in"
The last Java update disabled Java plug-in and removed Java Preferences.app from your Utilities folder.
You can re-enable Java by following this support article
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559
Or, you can update to Oracle's Java 7 here

In Java 7 The preferences will be in your System Preferences.
Java 7_17 is the latest version of Java but since there are still vulnerabilities, it's best not to use it unless you really need it.
Java update
