how to install legacy java se 6 runtime for mac 10.10

This helped me:

Java for OS X 2014-001

Mahboi -- I have sunk HOURS into this crazy Java thing -- even did a clean install of my Mac (which is probably going to end up being good for me anyhow).

My problem was Adobe Illustrator & Acrobat CS6 not opening for business AT ALL. Now they do!!

I am a designer with deadlines -- feel like I owe you one.

Mahboi thank you so much!!!! link worked perfectly! 🙂

Wwhy not just use the direct link at Apple's downloads site?

Java for OS X 2014-001

it was blank. Maybe it's been fixed?

there's no reason a direct download link is any more dangerous than a website. you can see the site is still apple.com. if you don't trust that site, you're being just a bit too paranoid.

That's the money right there, thank you Mahboi!

Brilliant- thank you! :-)

Adobe's latest Dreamweaver version 2014.1.1 slowed to a crawl and they said my issue has been upgraded to an engineering ticket, so it will take a few days. I decided to go back and use my original version of DW CC, which needed Java runtime SE 6. Thanks for the link that let me install it and get back to work on the deadline while the Adobe engineers sort out the 2014.1.1 problems.

great solved the problem of running Adobe Photoshop CS5 extended V 12.2. Direct link works and has def no virus et al. Thanks Mahboi!

That link doesn't seem to work for me- nothing is downloading. Not sure why/how others got it to work.

Anyone else having an issue?

Great. Thanks so much sons. That is indeed a much easier link. I was already sweating cause I had to run a version of CPS einstruction that insisted on Java 6. I found that out after I installed Java runtime 8 form the Oracle website. Then I started to worry that I wouldn't be able to uninstall that Java but all I did was follow Oracle's instructions to simply find and dump that version in the trash. I tried to find Java6 but was lead to links that depended on Software update which doesn't do a Mavericks user any good. Anyway, I went to the link provided by sjons here (thanks again) and I when started CPS started it didn't ask for Java 6. Moreover the device manager which is dependent on J6 started up. It's lamentable to have to depend on legacy apps but what to U do you when one of your core apps for your personal workflow doesn't follow updates in Mac OS x and vice versa. I actually held out buying a new MacAir notebook cause I was hoping to find one with a pre Mavericks version installed. Unfortunately as many of us find out only later, once U upgrade you're pretty much stuck and that includes not being able to downgrade individual software like iTunes. Thankfully I was able to install a legacy Java. Cheers sjons.
