os x yosmite shows this message at startup: To view this web content, you need to install the Java Runtime Environment.

so I've just downloaded and installed OS X 10.10 YOSEMITE on my mac this morning and I find the design refreshing, however when I do a reboot of my mac this popup message always shows up: To view this web content, you need to install the Java Runtime Environment. here's a screen shot of it

it is really annoying, and quite bothering on my part. I tried clicking the "more info..." tab as instructed by the popup/ notification, which led me to the webpage of java, and this is a screenshot of what I got

so I've downloaded the .dmg file of the Java 8 update and installed it on my computer, did a check on my safari browser settings to see if the Java plugin is activated and, it is. Hoping that that the trick I rebooted my mac again and voila! the same popup appears again. I hope you could help me on this one guys, any suggestions for a quick fix would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Here are the specs of my mac:

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

That’s harsh. I get an excellent user manual with a Canon camera and zip when with a much more complex Apple OS. My thought has long been that Apple should create thorough manuals that users can optionally buy. $15 seems reasonable. Why have a lot of buried features that most users don’t even know exist?

No, just because of the user experience.. after having Mac I decided I'm not ok with it

This thread (and others) is one of the reasons, I sincerely hope they can change my mind and fix this bugging issues...

btw, they don't sell ferraris with dented doors

But chill man.. The complaint is not to normal costumers like me 🙂

I also get the popup since Yosemite, don't know what's triggering it, even though I followed the More Info to download and install Java. In fact, my Java Control Panel says "Your system has the recommended version of Java, Java 8 Update 25". I have not tried downgrading Java yet, nor have I found any apps not working properly.

Thanks Casey. I followed the information you provided and I was able to launch the application (using java) that I needed.

facebook videochat updater causes this notification to popup

Open the terminal and type:

launchctl remove com.facebook.videochat.[username].updater

just replace “ [username] “ with the user’s account name on the computer.

Just have in mind that everytime you boot your mac you need to retype it on the terminal to take effect otherwise popup will appear again.

I'm running Java 8 update 25 and still getting the same popup. Help!

Likewise - this pop-up pops up (duh!) at the strangest times, and often when neither Safari (or any other browser) and Mail are off!
Anyone have any clue why?

This solver my question.

But in my case I preferred to delete the file. These kind of file recreate themselves when needed so no worries. In doing so you won't have to stay retyping the command in Terminal every reboot.

Just run a search by pressing cmd+F on your keyboard and type com.facebook.videochat then choose This Mac to run the search on your whole Hard Disk. Then you must add a filter to search even in your system. You must do this by selecting the button "Kind" a drop down menu will popup, then select "Other..." then type "system: in the top right corner search field and select the only option that comes up (Include system files, such as...) and then the OK button. Then select "are included" from the button next to it.

This will give you some results. Just choose the one that's in the LaunchAgent folder and delete it.

It will never pop up again.

Enjoy ;-)
