Java update

17 years ago

on my taskbar on the right hand side of my monitor...by the clock, an icon appeared to update Java...I clicked to install and it wants to also install Open Office. I don't want Open Office. I unticked where it said to install Open Office, but the only way Java will update is to install it....or at least I don't see any way around it. How do I get that Java icon out of my taskbar?

See the link, then do a "Google" search for "javaRa" please download and run the program it will remove any older versions and install the latest version for you.

I am having problems with FF and found this thread - I am completely out of the news loop so had heard nothing about Java problems so...hope you can help. I have a mac running 10.6.8. In the middle of watching netflix last night I got an error message saying that Java plug in was disabled and to enable it and restart FF. I checked everything and it was enabled, I disabled my ghostery, etc. Nothing made a difference. Today I tried an update to java and downloaded that (found by check for updates on my mac menu). still didn't fix it. So I found this thread and decided I would uninstall the whole thing. I found directions on FF about how to uninststall Java. But when I seach my mac for JavaAppletPlugin.plugin I get nothing, nowhere. If I just search for Java, I get dozens of hits, but none of them for the applet plugin. I went back and disabled it, but am wondering what to do now. How can I uninstall it if I can't find it? Any ideas? I appreciate any help! This post was edited by olychick on Sat, Feb 2, 13 at 17:11

Using the search engine on the Home Page entering "Java" (sans quotes) produced several entries. TI took the liberty of tagging an on-point thread below. DA Here is a link that might be useful: Java Question From Search

Sapphires, go ahead and update your ZA as the update has the fix for the problem encountered with the MS update. Then reboot. Hopefully, when you attempt the Java update, ZA will ask if you want it allowed. Check for it to be allowed and for ZA to remember this setting. That should take care of the problem for you.

you just uncheck where it ask you if you want open office then go on with it, once you uncheck that it will not install open office. Java ra is a good program it will also let you get rid of the old versions you have on the pc which you want to do.

I "did" uncheck that part and it went ahead and started installing Open Office anyway...there was no place to stop it, so I just shut my computer down with the button...I couldn't even shut it down from the start menu. I clicked on the icon finally and I had a choice to close it and I did that and I don't have that icon there anymore. I am using Java 6 and this was for Java 7
