Q: Yosemite and Java Runtime Environment?

So,

I did it, after the catastrophe that was the update to 8.02 on my pad and phone,

I updated to Yosemite on my Mac, expecting the worst.

But, all seemed to go smoothly until I installed Java Runtime Environment 8u25

I installed, I even used the check online option to see if it was correct,

and still every time I start my Mac,

it tells me that I can not see this website because I don't have Jave

1) i haven't opened the browser

2) after opening the browser everything works fine

 

 

Help anyone??

 

P.S.: Why is there no chat online with the support staff option in Germany anymore???

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

A:

Same deal. After installing Yosemite, I get a pop-up every once in a while stating, "to run this web content you need to install Java Runtime" or some such. I clicked on the "More Info" button which took me to an Oracle site that states that Yosemite requires runtime version of Java 8u25 and that I shouldn't use Java 6 or Java 7. I downloaded JRE 8u25 and installed it. I'm still getting the pop-up every once in a while.


After doing some google-fu, I'm seeing that this a common problem. I'm also getting conflicting or, at least for me, confusing information:

 

1. Some are saying that some app on my machine is looking for Java 6, which is installed differently than Java 8, and not seeing J6 causes the pop-up. From there, I'm seeing different solutions:

     a. Don't install Java 8; install Java 6 from a link at an Apple support doc. This doc is older than Yosemite's release so I'm hesitant about this.

     b. The app that is looking for Java 6 needs to be updated to look for and work with Java 8; nothing I can do here but wait for updates.

     c. If I create something called sym-links (or correct those that already exist, not sure which), I could make the app searching for Java 6 RE see my installation of Java 8 RE. This is over my end-user head.  

     d. I could install the JDK version of Java 8 and the pop-up problem goes away. I could do this but it seems excessive.

 

This whole problem is compounded by the fact that this pop-up shows up at different times and situations; I don't know for certain what app is causing it. Mavericks had the pop-up too but installing what Oracle told me to made the pop-up go away. It isn't working this time.

    This sounds promising. I have just done this, and no pop-up on startup at least.

    Found the same thing with my Mac Air.......no problems with the Java Runtime pop up.  My I Mac is different altogether... even reinstalled new Yosemite..installed my last back up......and the pop up box is still there. And the Apple folks either don't know about it, or don't give a **** about it. There seems to be very little comeback from Apple about this problem

    Having had my previous reply to you deleted by Apple( because of a bad word or even a criticism of their product), i can only confirm with you , that i have had exactly the same experience with my Mac Air ( no pop ups etc) since the Yosemite upgrade. I even went into my local Apple store this week ( Brighton UK) , and had perplexed Apple 'Geniuses' who said they hadn't seen this problem. Strange that so many other users have !! Anyway, Apple did a new reinstall of Yosemite,   and.........the problem is still there.

    Shame Apple deleted my last post instead of helping, and addressing this irritating and ongoing problem.

    The solution for me and many other is to install java 6.  I hesitated before because of security concerns but was assured that this is not an issue.  You should try installing that older version.  Apparently it works alongside the newer version that remains and plugs the previous security hole.

    I had the same problem however, found the solution via 'Internet Patrol' site. If you download the following it will solve the problem of the pop-up immediately.

    Java for OS X 2014-001

    Java for OS X 2014-001 includes installation improvements, and supersedes all previous versions of Java for OS X. This package installs the same version of Java 6 included in Java for OS X 2013-005.

    This fix is confirmed by Apple Express Support as well as myself. Thanks!  Be sure to uninstall any Java 8 version you may have been prompted to install by Oracle's pop-up window before downloading Java for OS X 2014-001 (Java 6), and to restart your computer after installing.  Annoying message gone forever!

    I would be sure not to install java 8_40.

    Unbelievable but Oracle is now installing adware into Java http://www.thesafemac.com/java-now-installing-adware/

    Unbeknownst to me, they'd been doing this with the windows version for awhile, but just recently blessed the most recent mac update with crapware as well.

    I deleted it all together and haven't replaced it. haven't run into any issues yet, other than one app that's java based. Im sure I'll see more but it's not worth it (IMO). I wont be using it moving forward.


    If necessary stick with an older version and be sure you dont have auto-update on.

    I have installed both Java 6 (which didn't open a website puzzle I have used for a long time) and then Java 8.  Now the website puzzle comes up but I can't interact with it because it is "unknown" to Java 8.  Do I eliminate the website and re-subscribe?  I'm afraid I will lose many years' worth of saved puzzles.  How can I convince Java that it's okay?

    The web site is expecting to find Java 6 as the linked Java browser environment. However, Mavericks and Yosemite will not allow their own Java 6, or Oracle's Java 7 to connect to any browser. Until the owners of the site wake up and update their game to recognize newer versions of Java, you're probably stuck.

     

    It's either that, or install Snow Leopard, or other older version of OS X which will allow the use of Java 6 in a browser on a separate partition and boot to that when necessary. This requires having a Mac which originally came with an older OS. You cannot install anything older than the OS version your Mac shipped with.

    Wow, I am glad someone posted this fix to the Java pop up every time I log in. I hate this kind of hello from computer.

    Hi,

    I solved doing the following:

     

    Go to "/System/Library/Java/Support", delete "CoreDeploy.bundle" and then reboot.

     

    If you hit show package content you'll see that there's a "Download Java Components.app" inside. This app try to update Java every time you login, even if you don't have Java installed (i don't have it on my Mac).

     

     

    It worked also for me!

    Thx!
