Can you give more information about exactly what problems you are seeing? I have installed Mavericks and Java 7 on my Macbook Pro and I haven't experienced any problems so far.

Hi,
sorry for not replying earlier.
Every time I use minimwatch on my mac to perform a setting (just checking settings out and restarting server works fine), i.e. set transcoding or update minimstreamer it locks up (I get the multi-colored wheel spinning and I get LaunchWatch not responding process in the task manager), no matter what I do. It seems to be java related, as other Java programs can trigger this, when performing a write setting.

I've tried uninstalling oracle's java and reinstalling apple's, but then minimwatch complained about not being able to use java 7. I haven't touched any settings on permissions, as you've previously suggested, so I am at a bit of a loss on what to do. I understand that this is not a minimwatch problem per se, and am thankful for your patience, although I do wish more functions can be performed via http (as re-scan is now available)
