I am running OS X 10.7.5 and Java 7 update 6.
Safari tells me that I need to update to a more secure version.
The latest is 7 update 17.
However the Java Control Panel is set to auto-update, and says that I am up-to-date with release 6.
So it doesn't give me an update option.
What is going on?
Thanks for any info

Ok, so I did as you suggested.
Now neither Safari nor Firefox can see Java, and the update number has disappeared from the control panel.
😟
Launch the Terminal app in /Applications/Utilities/, copy & paste this one-liner into the window that pops up, and hit the return key:
sudo /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java -version
enter your admin password at the Password: prompt and hit the return key. You should see this:
java version "1.7.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_17-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)
Thanks.
So I do have the latest Java installed.
I was getting problems with pingtest.net reporting that Java was not installed, but a reboot seems to have cured it.
Java control panel says I'm up to date, but Safari says not?
