I've tried everything but I cannot get java 7 on mac os x 10.6.8. This one didn't work either: How to install java jdk 7 on Snow Leopard The file in the Java folder is called 1.7 but it is in fact 1.6.

Apple released Java updates for Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and OS X 10.7 (Lion) and 10.8 (Mountain Lion). The update brings Java SE 6 to the most recent version. Apple hasn't added the updates to its Support site as of this writing, but the patch notes in the Mac App Store in Mountain Lion say: Java for OS X 2013-004 delivers improved security, reliability, and compatibility by updating Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_51 On systems that have not already installed Java for OS X 2012-006, this update disables the Java SE 6 applet plug-in.

To use applets on a web page, click on the region labeled 'Missing Plug-in' to download the latest version of the Java applet plug-in from Oracle. When Apple does release the patch notes on its Support site, they should appear as such: • •.

OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard remains a Top 3 platform among Mac users even 4 versions later! While OS X 10.6 is now several versions behind, it is hanging in there as one of the most used versions of OS X, as data from our site logs shows in the graph above. We recognize that our audience is more likely to stick with an older OS, whether due to older hardware, software compatibility, or just seeing no need to change.

Whether our numbers are representative of worldwide OS X use or not, the trends here are fascinating. New versions are adopted quickly on release and grow more slowly, reaching their peak as the next version of OS X arrives – although none has achieved the nearly 85% share that Snow Leopard once had, based on our site traffic.

They also drop quickly when a new version is released, followed by a slower decline that can go on for years. Not long after was released, 10.7 Lion dropped below Snow Leopard’s slowly declining level. Likewise, Mountain Lion share dropped precipitously shortly after arrived, the first free version of OS X, soon falling below Snow Leopard. And with the arrival of, Mavericks began its inevitable decline – and in coming months it could also fall behind Snow Leopard. It will definitely do so once becomes a release product. Snow Leopard has legs. You could well count it as the pinnacle of the classic version of OS X (OS X before it started getting iPhone-like features such as ), and as such there are a lot of good browser options for it.

I have Snow Leopard on my, upgraded with 3 GB of system memory and a fast 320 GB hard drive. I also have a lot of different browsers installed:,,,,,, Safari, and among them. Let’s look at them by the date of their latest release. Camino: Dated but Useful Of these browsers – and the list is not exhaustive – Camino 2.1.2 has been left to languish since 2012 yet remains a fast browser that I still find myself using for specific projects.

You can run Camino very nicely on and a G3 Mac – and anything since. Camino won’t become your everyday browser, but it’s agile and works very nicely for legacy websites. It has never been updated for HTML5 and scores very poorly on the.

The biggest drawback to Camino is that it tends to hang with too many open tabs or when you try to quit the app. Camino is based on an old version of Gecko (Gecko 19/Firefox 19 released in February 2013) that was current when Camino 2.1 was released. The code has been tweaked to function as a true Mac app, but over 3 years have elapsed since the last update, so don’t expect it to compete in features with more modern browsers. OmniWeb: The First Has Become Last OmniWeb was originally developed for NeXT computers and their NeXTstep environment.

When Apple acquired NeXT in 1996, NeXTstep became the foundation for Mac OS X, and OmniWeb was the first browser ported to Apple’s next generation operating system. The last release version of OmniWeb is 5.11.2, which arrived in July 2012 and added support for some OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion security features. Of the browsers that claim to still be in development for the Mac, it has the oldest “most recent” version. OmniWeb runs on PowerPC and Intel Macs running OS X 10.4.8 Tiger or later, and the development version is adding OS X 10.10 Yosemite support.
