Don't install Java 8 install Java 6 from a link at an Apple support doc. From there, I'm seeing different solutions:Ī. Some are saying that some app on my machine is looking for Java 6, which is installed differently than Java 8, and not seeing J6 causes the pop-up. I'm also getting conflicting or, at least for me, confusing information:ġ. I'm still getting the pop-up every once in a while.Īfter doing some google-fu, I'm seeing that this a common problem. I clicked on the 'More Info' button which took me to an Oracle site that states that Yosemite requires runtime version of Java 8u25 and that I shouldn't use Java 6 or Java 7.
After installing Yosemite, I get a pop-up every once in a while stating, 'to run this web content you need to install Java Runtime' or some such.
