Recently the update for Java on my Macs failed to install. This is the first time I see an update from Apple not work on my machines. This happened both on my iMac and on my MacBook Pro.

To fix this, I got the update directly from Apple and installed it manually, you can find it here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/Java_for_Mac_OS_X_10_5_Update_4

It all seemed to work fine after that, I just had to install it as a normal application. I’m not sure why this happened.

Java for Mac OS X can’t be installed

Java Update Failed OSX

Official Java download from Apple

Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4 package

Usual yadda yadda to install
