Mac OS X Users Unable to Run Java: Affects Wimba and Collaborate
Announcement from Blackboard: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 - Due to an Apple update, some Mac OS users are unable to run Java. This issue was caused by an Apple update on 1/31/2013. This issue will prevent users from opening any Java based application including Blackboard Collaborate and Wimba Classroom. Oracle Java has since released an update to resolve this issue. We recommend that you update your version of Java.
