'How can I activate Java and the Java Console in Safari?
I just spent hours finding out how to activate Java and the Java Console in Safari, and nothing I could find on the Web was helpful for me, so I thought I'd ask this as a question here and answer it in case others have the same problem:
I'm running Mac OS 10.6.8 and using Safari Version 5.1.1 (6534.51.22). Java applets don't seem to load, and the Java Console doesn't open even though I followed all the instructions I found online on how to activate it, such as opening the Java Preferences in Applications/Utilities and selecting the "show console" radio button on the "advanced" tab. What else can I do?
Solution 1:[1]
Check whether plugins are enabled in the security tab of the Safari preferences. Even if Java is enabled in the Safari preferences and the Java Console is enabled in the Java Preferences, apparently neither of them work if plugins are disabled.
