problems opening java games on my mac

Hi there!

Re-download Java from here again: http://www.java.com/download/index.jsp

Also, try a different web broswer (Google Chrome, Internet Explorer etc.)

Report back here again if the problem persists and i will provide you with more possible solutions. :robotwink:

- With kind regards, Timmie.

perhaps you didn't read my whole question — i had downloaded  java today again already — but to be on the safe side, I did what you asked and there was no new update for java other than the one I had already downloaded for both safari and firefox. It seems others are  having java problems, too, so perhaps it isn't just my computer. please help. I hate missing daily challenges, am working on badges, and don't want to miss any extra time on pogo. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi again!

Alright, try Google chrome as well. Report back here again if the problem persists and i will help you further.

IT"S NOT YOUR FAULT!!!!!

NEW YORK (AP) — Some Mac users were taken by surprise Thursday as their computers stopped running programs written using the Java programming language after Apple blocked Java due to security problems.

Java allows programmers to write a wide variety of Internet applications and other software programs and run them on most computers, including Apple Inc.'s Mac. However, earlier this month the U.S. Department of Homeland Security recommended disabling Java in Web browsers to avoid potential hacking attacks. Oracle Corp., which owns Java, has issued updates that fix known vulnerabilities, but the DHS expects that there are more flaws in Java's coding.

Apple sends out virtual "blacklists" to Internet-connected Macs, instructing them not to run certain programs. Apple is blocking the latest version of Java from running on the most recent versions of its Mac operating system, and blocking an older version, Java 6, from running on the older version of its Mac system, called Snow Leopard. The blocks affect programs and online games that use Java in Web browsers.

Oracle had no immediate comment on Apple's action.

Among those Java users inconvenienced by the unannounced block was the photo department of The Associated Press, which relies on a Java application to manage and distribute photos.

"The situation caught us by surprise and a number of our machines could not operate for a time, but we had enough capability to work around the problem in the meantime," said AP spokesman Paul Colford. "We expect the affected machines to be operating by day's end."

you guys don't read, do you. I explained at the beginning of my original post that I was using battlefield 3 because I couldn't ask a question without choosing a topic, and your topics were limited. Argh. Anyway, I discovered the source of the problem myself when I discovered that apple is blocking programs that use java. So I guess I'm kinda smarter than you guys, huh!

I have deleted, reinstalled (3 times) Java on my Mac.  Everything is up to date and listed in my applications folder.  I am exasperated as I can't play the weekly Eucure challenge or most of my other favorites.  And ... I have wasted so much time trying to correct the problem.  I've been a member since 2005 and it seems like there are more and more problems with POGO.

Hi again!

Sorry that we couldn't provided you with the right solution directly. But we need to be sure first, before we give you further details. As i can see it, this problem is solved. The blocking should been solved now and if you update again, it will work.

Feel free to come back here to Answer HQ again if you need any more help or have questions.

Have a continued good day!
