CatDV Installation Error- Call for Quicktime for Java….

[Bryson Jones]

I’ve not seen this, but are you using the Apple Java install or the Oracle one?

I moved to the Oracle Java install recently on my Mavs machine. (NOTE I did this as a test. It’ s not advice or offered as a solution) 😉 Can you tell that I’m paranoid?

Could someone from Squarebox offer insight as to which version of Java is best on Mavs?

This is caused because Apple have removed QuickTime for Java from the default install of QuickTime and, worse, the latest update to QuickTime actually removes the QuickTime for Java that you have installed.

To fix the problem you need to manually install QuickTime and tick the QuickTime for Java option as detailed in our FAQ:

We are currently working towards removing the dependency on QuickTime for Java from future versions of CatDV. Stay tuned.

I saw that solution, but it is geared toward PC’s. Will reinstalling QT on my mac do the job as well? Will I be given the opportunity to click a switch to add QT for Java? Should I get QT pro?

I’m also experiencing the same problem and the same error message:

“Although you have installed Java and the CatDV
application, the following file(s) appear to be
missing. Without them CatDV will not operate:

QuickTime for Java
QuickTime 7.0 or later?

I’m on a Mac Pro and have just upgraded to OS X Yosemite Beta Version 10.10. I have Quicktime Pro Version 7.6.6 installed. Tried downloading Java for OS X 2014 from here https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572 and that didn’t help. And I tried downloading Java 8 from here https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html and that didn’t help.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I don’t know why, but when I upgraded to a new Mac Pro (black cylinder) the problem went away. I’m operating with 10.9.4

[Robb Harriss]

So you’re running CatDV 10.1.x on Mac OS 10.9.4? I just want to check before trying again. The last time I put Yosemite on the MacBook Pro CatDV 10.1.3 wouldn’t run.

Non-linear: all the time and nothing but.

[Bryson Jones]

Robb, it’s 10.9 and that’s fine.

10.10 (Yosemite) won’t run v10, only CatDV 11.

Argh! I meant Yosemite. Too many names and numbers and I’m getting to old for this.
So that’s what I wanted to be sure of. v10.1.3 can’t go any higher than Mavericks. That was my experience. We have to move everything we have up a level and add Pegasus.
Thanks
