Mac / Java Upgrade

[zenwhipper]

Folks-

I ordered a piece of software for my Mac. It installs but will not launch since it says I need Java 1.5 and my Mac has Java 1.4. I've tried to find the appropriate Java download on the Mac site - but am having trouble with this. It seems that 1.5 is only for Mac OS X 10.4 or higher and my machine is OS X 10.3.9.

The software is Weightmania and I purchased Weightmania Pro 2.0.5 and the system requirements say:

Mac OS X 10.2.6 or later

Java 1.5

Anybody have any thoughts with this?

Kind Thanks

Scott

all i can tell you, is i have MAC OS 10.3.9 on my powerbook, and get scewed up problems but there is no more support since apple switched processors. At least that is what i was told. I hope you find a resolution. I have java app problems all the time with Safari.

Just go to Java.com and follow the prompts to download the current version.

You can check this link on the apple site but, it looks like you would have to upgrade to 10.4 or 10.5 to get to the Java version you are interested in.

https://developer.apple.com/java/download/

If you go to the java download site reference below it refers you back to apple for supported versions.

There may be other options but these are the ones I could get to quickly.

My old Mac has been upgraded over the years to 10.4.11. Can you not go to software update and get upgraded? (I also notice that my Java is only 1.4.2., so I can't say that would give you what you need.)

I'd try to get the upgrade. Click on the apple, and software update is the second item in the drop-down menu.

i dont believe you can find a upgrade anymore. They changed programming when they changed processors
