The links that weren't functioning yesterday morning are up and running again. Problem solved.

Thank you for sharing, Francis, good to know; you could still use the newer (and presumably safer) version, by applying the other option, as mentioned by Larry.

Apple has taken down the download, so has oracle so what am I to do with my CS6 Master Suite?

not an option. Company work flow makes heavy use of Dropbox, OS update was required to continue to run.

Michael,

You should be able to get round the issue altogether without the legacy version (and its security implications), by following this:

It is even more thoroughly described in this thread, see post #3 on by gator soup:

Here are download sites for Java SE6 if you wish/must:

Win:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase6-419409.html

Mac:

http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572

Some have found that the page may turn up blank to start with, so it may be necessary to reload the page.

Others have found that it may depend on browser. Specifically, a switch from Safari has solved it in one case.
