Oekaki/Java problems & solutions

[bin child]

Hi there! I'm having problems with my Oekaki, so I'm wondering if any of you guys could help me out. c:

First of all, I use a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Lion. I have used Oekaki before, but it has stopped working for a while now and for quite some time, I just didn't use Oekaki, but now I really want to get back into the groove and use it.

I added attachments to show what happens, as well.

I'll start up Oekaki, it'll show the CS loading screen then the canvas, then after I actually click on the canvas, those two popups that I attached appear. For the first one, I tried both options (continue and cancel) and neither worked. After I got through those screens, the canvas stayed up but I couldn't click anything on it or even click the file, edit, ect. buttons.

I've tried everything I can think of: I uninstalled and reinstalled the newest Java, same with JTablet and I even switched to Firefox to see if it would work. Which it didn't. :C

Anyone know the solution? I really want to enter an artist competition and it ends soon, so I'm really hoping to have Oekaki work as soon as I can! Thanks!

ok new trouble, i had saved a drawing then when i went to open it again it tole me i had 2 update jave to continue so i did that, went to save my art after the update &.. got this


so does it need permission ? if so how can i give it permission ?
thanks polor

I have the same problem.
I updated Java and now it won't let me save anything.


EDIT:
I already found the problem.
Java set my oekaki settings to using chibi paint v1.
If you have the same problem, try looking at your chibipaint settings to see if you are using the recent version or not.

I just got this problem how do I fix it?
I've just done a heap of work on a commission and I refuse to close it down ;-;
this is freaking me out!

If you're afraid of losing your work, you can take a screenshot. ^^;

I'm not quite sure how to fix the problem, though... I'm looking into it when I can.
If switching over to V2 fixes things, though, by all means, do that - the link's up at the front, V2 gives a lot fewer problems than V1. :)

I'm aware I could take a screen shot but I'd like to finish my work on the Oekaki, my dAmuro and Photoshop skills suck ;-;
Thanks for the help though I'll tell you if I find anything

-Disconnecting the internet doesn't work
-trying multiple times doesn't work
-giving it some time doesn't work

[Desmond]

It looks like, if I'm understanding this correctly, that error comes from a problem with the certificate, which is a known issue with V1 that was fixed in V2. So that's the way to fix it. ^^;

I'm not sure if you can switch over while it's still open, but if not, the screenshot might still help - you can use it as a guide to "catch up" where you were.

How would I update to v2?

Okay, I am having a problem with my Oekaki that has been going on for the past few days. I get a grey screen every time I load the program!

I have read through this section:

“I'm trying to load the oekaki but it's giving me a grey screen?”

It's possible that Java wasn't installed correctly on your computer or that you're using an older update. Uninstall all Java programs from your computer and download and install the latest version from their website. Then be sure to refresh your browser.

You can also try the above link to verify your Java version. If it's updated, it'll give you instructions to fix it.

If it still won't work, then check your antivirus and firewall. They may be blocking Java. Turn either of them off for a test. As I cannot list every solution for every antivirus, I suggest you google how to make an exception for Java so your computer will remain protected and you'll be able to draw.

Only for Windows users
If you're still getting a grey screen after trying everything, then uninstall your current Java versions and download and install the offline installer located here:
http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

and done all of the solutions, even re installed Java three times! But they grey screen continues. One thing I noticed is, usually a pop up will appear asking me to run the program, and than it works. But now, no screen appears, I think that might have something to do with the problem, but I have no idea how to start fixing it. Please help <3
