Recent updates to the Apple Macintosh operating system (OS X) introduced Java Runtime Environment (JRE) issues for many Web applications, including SciFinder® . These issues are due, in part, to JRE not being pre- installed on computers purchased with Macintosh OS X 10.7.3 (Lion) or newer. In addition: 1. Upgrading to OS X Lion or newer automatically removes Java from your computer 2. Automatic JRE updates in OS X disable the “Run Java applet” function for Web browsers and Web Start applications 3. Java applets are disabled if the Java Web plug-in detects that no applets have been run for an extended period of time (/kb/HT5242) Since Java is required to use the structure drawing editor in SciFinder, installation of a compatible JRE and manual enabling of the Java applet is required. The following instructions will show you how to install and enable JRE on your computer. INSTALLING JRE ON MAC OS X Method 1 — Using the OS X system utility 1. Exit all browsers 2. Navigate to Applications Utilities Java Preferences (java preferences.app) 3. Run Java Preferences. 4. Click Install 5. After the JRE installation, open Java Preferences and click the checkbox “Enable applet plug-in and Web Start applications” 2 6. Open your Web browser and sign in to SciFinder 7. Click the checkbox “Allow all applets from “” with this signature” 8. Click Allow Method 2 — Manual download and installation Download and install the latest JRE (as of this publication) from Apple Support at
