@Working Stiff - you think you've got it bad.... I talked my wife into getting a mac after having been on them since around '86. Problem is, she needs windows for a few things concerning real estate and our finances.. After a few yrs of upgrading Parallels, upgrading windows, and upgrading OS X's, she's about to throw in the towel! I'm tech-y, but wow, after this recent misaligned trifecta of Para 10, Win 8.1, and Yosemite, I'm in her corner! And I agree, why does Apple push and promote before the OS X is ready for PrimeTime

I feel your pain!

I'm disgusted with Apple right now. And I might as well throw in Adobe and Oracle (Java run time) while I'm at it.

I happened to stop by the Mac Store recently. They don't care about customer svc. anymore either; rude, non-communicative, approaching surly.

I have self censored my reply.

Hope things work out for your wife's work issues.

I would have thought that I would learn by now to wait at least six months before performing any APPLE software upgrades. There's always a problem that sets me back hours if not days of productivity just trying to cycle through the endless errors and incompatibility issues with a freakn upgrade. Gezz Apple. We pay a lot of money for your products and your service level continues to decline rapidly. Because of the type of business that I'm in I'm almost forced to work with only MAC. However, I am seeking alternatives to my media production dilemmas because APPLE, I'm losing money every time you pull this crap. We are not your BETA testers! We are hard working people trying to make a living with our investments. Get your act together APPLE. Seriously.

Your trick did not work for me. I bought a new MBA this week and transferred my files using Migration, as soon as I booted up, I got the same dialogue box. I upgraded to Java 8 and then your trick. The problem is that i don't have any applications that require Java runtime except for browsers. The only way I can get rid of the box is to start up in Safe Mode. I've had a lot of problems with 1010. In fact, it really suc... When I received my new MBA, it still had Mavericks on it! I had to spend an hour upgrading the System before I could transfer files! What a joke! I should of learned, Also, that too never, I mean NEVER, upgrade OS until all the bugs have been worked out Now I have to spend an hour on the phone with the geniuses at apple to solve this issue.
