This will allow you to download and install the newest most recent version of Java available for the Mac, which is currently JRE8. Additionally, you can choose to go directly to the Java downloads page on Oracle.com where you can find the latest release of Java JRE and as well as the JDK if you need one, the other, or both. We use the Java Network Launch Protocol to load up our applications at work, but it's failing for our Mac users now. I VNC'd into my test Mac to give it a test, and it appears that nothing happens at all. In the past, if Java wasn't installed it would give the install option, and if it was install it would to a launch. I can't java preferences to select between 32 to 64 or vice versa. I also tried running safari and firefox in 32 mode, but no help. I have figured out to make it work in terminal by using -d32 switch. However, how to use this switch in safari, am not sure. EDIT: Please note that I have apple provided Java 6 already.

I'm pretty sure my problem is about the same. Basically I cant install the Java 7 update cause I get an error message during download telling me I dont have mac os x 10.7 or higher....but I do. The Oracle Java update for Lion just isnt recognizing it! I have mac os x lion 10.7.5 on my laptop and for some reason, certain Pogo games wont load...it says its loading but never does and just closes. I went to the help page, did what it said, I scanned for current updates, installed them, rebooted then went back to Pogo and clicked on the java test link to see what version im running. I got the error 'missing plug in' so I clicked on it and was taken to Java's website for instructions, clicked 'Download Java for Mac OS X,' then hit sytem requirements and saw that I had to be running os x 10.7.3 or above and I have 10.7.5. I was good to go, hit download and now Im here! Annoyed and confused beause updates and upgrades are pretty basic and simple. You either meet the system requirements or you dont. I meet them but cant get them cause it says I dont....its a viscious cycle and Im rambling like a madwoman! Is there an easy yes or no answer to this, maybe a follow steps 1,2,3 A,B,C you can post for non computer savvy moms? LOL I just want the handful of Pogo games I used to be able to play, to play again...nothing complicated! And why is it only some games and not all of them? Dont answer that, my hair already hurts...haha

Im not much of a computer person, but Im sure thats more than obvious, so my apologies if my problem has nothing to do with this one....tell me where to go or what forum to read thru for help. I also want to pologize in advance for the help Im gonna need after I get this updated! lol I hear the update has something screwy with the plugins being enabled and that its another nightmare with this whole new oracle java deal. Hmmm, maybe I shouldnt even do this java update. 😕 😁
