Java SE 6 on Yosemite?

RESOLVED.

No, the pop-up did not appear in safe mode. It also did not appear in normal mode when another user was logged in (I keep my administrator and day-to-day accounts separate).

Based on that, a Google search turned up this MacWorld article on where to find various caches of startup items and launch agents. Moving all the items in my user's Library/LaunchAgents folder to a temp location and restarting prevented the pop-up from occurring. Restoring one item at a time with a logoff/logon isolated the problem as the NexDex video plugin used by MLB.TV. I'll look at ways to uninstall it; there's likely to be a newer version next season.

Thanks for your help and persistence, Loner T! 🙂

You did all the hard work. Excellent work. 😎

If you already have Java 7 on you mac and get this error after upgrading to Yosemite, the issue may be due to how Oracle has setup setup certain properties in Java 7. To fix the error without installing Java 8 or outdated version of Java (Java 6), please see the answer provided in forum below. It certainly helped me.

I'm having the same problem as Paul, but I don't have a single window in my startup pane and it still is giving me the error. I looked into the java application and made sure that nothing was opening. I started in safe mode and it did not popup, but not when I start up regularly. I have java 8.u.25 loaded. Any other ideas?

Any thing you can think of would be amazing!

In reading your reply, Manso, I realized I didn't include the link to the article I used. Try checking the LauchAgents folder in your profile library (the third of the three items on the list under Launch daemons and agents section) in the following article: http://www.macworld.com/article/2047747/take-control-of-startup-and-login-items. html . One of the items starting up there is likely the program trying to use Java 6.

Paul Skudlarek thank you for supporting incoming. 😎

Thank you both! I'm still working on it. And just deleted the files out of the launch daemon and launch agent folder.

Will let you know on update in a bit.

Don't empty your trash can just yet -- odds are not all of them are bad. It's probably just one program causing trouble, and knowing what one it is and either uninstalling the program or upgrading it will help get you back to working correctly. The others can stay in place, as they're likely necessary to making their associated programs run correctly.

Hi Minecraft version 1.8 seems to have these issues and we installed the Java 6 to solve these issues, based on the prompts from the pop-up. I presume that if we installed Java 8 the issues would be resolved too. I can test it now, but interested to see what other experiences were. Our video showing this issue is available at Youtube

So nothing seemed to work. We ended up deleting the files in the daemons and agents. Nothing still we had the same source you did Paul. But what we got it by deleting the Java popup and then downloaded the first Java from another forum "Java 2014-001" from the apple website. Then after downloading that we downloaded Java 8u25 jdk from oracle and it worked. Maybe there was a lapse of framework when you just download 8u25? But I don't know.

The java backup approach failed for me. I got the "time to die now" screen from Photoshop CS5.1 as it shut itself down. The Adobe site comments indicate similar issues with the newer CC product. Any chance the folks Apple or Oracle can manage a better fix for us suckers invested in Adobe products?

I installed Java 8 RE 8 on Yosemite, but every time I turn my computer on I got a message saying I have to install it to view a specific content, then a "More info" button that takes me to Java's website, like if I never installed it.

after installing java 8, i get this error message at power up before opening any app:

To view this web content, you need to install the Java Runtime Environment.

Click “More Info…” to visit the website for the Java Runtime Environment.

i checked HIDE for all Login Items but it still shows

The removing files from the launch agent folder worked for me. Thanks.

Witless in Wisconsin here. Specifically which files do you remove from the Library > Launch Daemons folder? Or were the files to dump elsewhere?

Thanks for any comments of suggestions.
