I also download JAVA 7 too which can be downloaded here – it needs X86_64 architecture:. I followed the instructions on the Harris Geo Spatial website and managed to generate a package that I was able to use to install JAVA6 SE to save people hassle I have uploaded here and you can download it directly to save yourself from following the steps yourself. The error message that you will receive is “A Newer Version of this package is already installed” but it’s not. I found a great post online on how to fix this:. I use Adobe Photoshop CS6 which requires Java 6 SE it’s supposed to be an older version of JAVA but it actually does the job but the JAVA downgrade that Apple offers doesn’t work for Catalina (10.15) – it should but they just deliberately made it so it doesn’t.
The laptop that I bought is no exception compared to the Macbook Air that I bought 8 years ago. Since Steve Jobs died innovation at Apple basically stopped all the new devices is just the same as before but maybe with an extra camera or a bit more RAM or a faster CPU. I bought a new Macbook recently which run Catalina (OS X 10.15) which is basically no different to OS X 10.11 or 10.10 – the only difference is that it slows your computer down if you are on an older model.
