Hi Martin, I think you've run up against the accessibility issues in the Java Preferences Utility, which is why you can't find options to clear your temporary files. This issue was discussed on list last year in connection with updates a user had to run to update Blackboard, and that

Tempo Perfect is a great metronome app. The reason I suggested using GigBabyFree! instead in an earlier reply is that I prefer to use rhythm or music tracks for exercise sessions, and this app lets you either use a straight metronome or play a backing rhythm track of your choice at the beat

Hi Dónal, That's a fair enough reply, but it doesn't get Martin out of his problems, since Oracle's Java only runs for OS X 10.7.1 and above, I think. Of course, even though Apple released a Java update for Snow Leopard just this Fall, you could argue that Snow Leopard is an old operating
