MacFixIt reader Salvatore has now received the following fix from E*Trade technical support: Switching back to the old Java installation, J2SE 5.0, may resolve these issues.Į*TRADE fix Last week we noted an issue in which 'Power E*Trade Pro' fails to properly load in some Mac OS X browsers after installation of the Java update.
However, several users are now reporting that installation of the Java update does indeed change the default Java version, and hence causing some issues with Java applets and potentially resulting in other problems as well.Īgain, you can control the version of Java used by your system with the Java Preferences application in /Utilities/Java/. May switch default Java version We previously reported that, per Apple's documentation, Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 1 (which installs Java SE 6 version 1.6.0_05) does not replace the existing installation of J2SE 5.0 or change the default version of Java, so it shouldn't (theoretically) be the cause of Java-related issues if you haven't made the switch in Java Preferences.
