So wait - I downloaded the 64 bit 39.0.2171.65 version. Because of this, I finally updated my Java version (now 8.25). I still can't java applets to run in Chrome. What gives? I still get Verify Java Version32-bit Chrome does not support Java 7 and later versions on Mac OS X. Java runs only on 64-bit browsers.

http://javatester.org/version.html Gives an error - Java needs your permission to run, but I've already allowed in Java control panel. Ideas?

Try going to System Settings and then the Java control panel. Locate the Java applet runtime configuration and make sure it's pointing to Java 8 and not some random Java 7 applet runtime the upgrade left behind. Java has system wide preferences for runtimes of both the full JRE and the plugin, separately.

Failing that, go to java.com and see what their check says.

Hi- Already tried both. Anyone able to ACTUALLY get Java 8 running on Chrome 64bit?
