Need legacy Java SE 6 runtime

Hi Community,

Since upgrading to macOS Sierra, when I try to open Adobe Illustrator CS5, I get the message, To open “Adobe Illustrator CS5” you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime. When I click on more info it opens a blank page. Can somebody tell me how to remedy/resolve/install this?

Does apple have a link for legacy Java SE 6 runtime?

Hi Kurt,

Thanks, The download worked and I am up and running with my Adobe Software.... THANKS!

Next time I will ask Community for advice before using a code I know nothing about... Not smart on my part!

Thanks again!

Java for OS X 2015-001

Hi Eric,

I went to install Java For OSX 2014-001 Software and got this message, java for OS X 2014-00 can't be installed on this disk. A newer version of this package is already installed? Installation Type & Installation are grayed out.

What do I do now? I still can't open PhotoShop or  any of my Adobe software programs. I need to get this resolved ASAP!

Thanks for you help!

Hi Eric,

I am trying to uninstall java 8 & reinstall Java SE 6 runtime. I can’t find the script in application tab?

A tech site suggested using a code in terminal: sudo rm -fr /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin

I used it but nothing happens? I don’t see it removed in terminal? Nothing happens do I have the correct code?

Thanks,

While this particular command wasn't dangerous, you should never run Terminal commands without knowing what they do. The rm means remove. As in, delete. On top of that, you invoked sudo (Super User DO), which gives you temporary root power to delete almost anything. Luckily, that command would only delete Oracle's Java 7 or 8 from the folder named in the path, if it exists, and not system files.

Follow Eric's link again to get the latest version of Apple's Java 6.

You're welcome. Glad to hear you're up and running again.

Hello

I am having the same problem. Can you please forward me the link

for legacy?

The link is right towards the top of this topic in Eric Root's post.

Java for OS X 2015-001

Thank you thank you thank you

edit: sorry, replied to the wrong person.

So this move basically rolls back the Java to an older version... is that a correct description? If so, what effects, if any, does this rollback have on other software and usability of the OS?

No. Apple's Java 6 and Oracle's Java 8 are completely independent of one another and can be on your Mac at the same time.

The OS will not allow the older version to be used in web browsers.
