After I updated to Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), why am I told to install Java after I already installed the latest Java?
JAVA-OTHER, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
You probably have something installed on your system (from Adobe, Facebook, etc.) which is looking for Java 6 from Apple, rather than the latest version. You can get Apple's version of Java here.
What is the exact, complete text of the alert?
"To view this web content, you need to install the Java Runtime Environment."
"Click "More inför... "to visit the website for the Java Runtime Environment"
I went to the website - and the "More info" link just sends me to (another) download of the same version I downloaded previously.
Most likely, you have a web plugin that depends on the Java runtime distributed by Apple, such as the Facebook video calling plugin or the "NexDef" plugin for watching baseball streams. If you no longer need the plugin, remove it, including its automatic update mechanism (if any) according to the developer's instructions. Otherwise, install Java.
Since I don't know what plugin in I might need/want at this point, I think I'll try the Apple Version of Java and see if that solves the problem. At least - if I can't solve the problem with the Apple version you've helped me with other solutions. Thank you!
