I mates! I need the help of the good old Nerd Squad...
Two days ago, before java launched their new update, the FFB client worked perfectly in my MacBook and now I can't open it
I have an old MacBookPro5,5, which has a 2,26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, with 2 GB 1067MHz DDR3 of memory (I have to admit that I dunno what that mean)
I use Mac OS X 10.6.8 so I can't update java because it needs 10.7.3 and it's my girlfriend's laptop so I feel a little insecure for changing the OS or something that could make any malfunction to the macbook....
What could I do mates?
Please explain what I must do like if you were explaining to a 5 years old Gobbo, that is my informatics level.
Feel free to PM with possible solutions, thanks community |

Isn't the update to Mac OS just a minor thing? It is not going from 10 to 11.. Probably Apple even recommend updates to due to security vulnerabilities, as Microsoft do. |

I have updated the OS right now but I had the latest update of OS 10.6, so it didn't help. I can't update to 10.7 because it means that I have to buy the new OS (10.7)... |

That sounds bad as my macbook is stuck on 10.6.8 as well
You should be able to get a free update to one of the newer Mac OS versions (I think 10.9 or 10.10?) - check on the App Store for operating systems and there should be a free update option you can download.
If you can get the update working... well, that's another thing. I couldn't, but its claiming that my hard disk is broken in some way... another thing to on my never-ending list TODO list |

If you don't use java for anything else, disable warnings for outdated version and use Fumbbl with outdated java. Can be done from java security options but I don't know where to find it in mac.
And only if you don't find a way to update java. |

I've found a menu named "Java Preferences" and I tried to click some checkboxes in the "Advance" menu, but it didn't work
I can't find any "disable java warnings" check box. Please, does someone know where is this option placed? |
