[QUOTE="magnitude, post: 1446767, member: 193591"] No I did it the way they explained on the Java home page. Here: [url=http://java.com/en/download/help/mac_uninstall_java.xml]How do I uninstall Java 7 for my Mac?[/url] So I can't find what they point to in that article you linked to. So I tried this: On the same page you can read about how to reinstall the Mac: Restore Apple's Java after uninstalling Oracle Java 7 If you find an issue using Java 7 and would like to continue using Apple's Java on your Mac, you will need to first uninstall Java 7, then restore Apple's Java Note: To restore Apple's Java, you must have Administrator privileges and execute the command either as root or by using sudo. Click on the Finder icon located in your dock Click on Applications tab on sidebar Click on the Utilities folder Double-click on the Terminal icon In the Terminal window Copy and Paste the command below: sudo ln -s /System/Library/Java/Support/CoreDeploy.bundle/Contents/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin But when I do that basically nothing happens. I was asked to give my psw. Did that. I did it another time, then I got the message: ln: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin: File exists Tried software update and tried to install the java install file I downloaes from Apple. Still nothing. I sure would appreciate if someone could help me get java back! [/QUOTE]
