I dont know if this is in the right section but anyways,

I have an iMac. I tried to log onto my runescape account and it said i didnt have java. I didnt know what to do since there was no java on my mac. I tried downloading several different versions of java but none worked. Please help me.
 
Java is pre-installed on Mac, though don't know how often it's updated. I don't use Runescape so not sure what version it needs, but perhaps it's not compatible with Mac?

Edit: Just checked my Java and I have 1.5, and got my MacBook this past summer so looks like it ships with the most current.
 
but what im saying is my mac doesnt have java pre installed.

Depending on which iMac you have, you likely have two versions of Java installed. It may not be what they want, but I would think that you would have to remove Java to not have it installed.
 
I most likely uninstalled it, not knowing what i was doing.

can someone give me the link to the default java on the mac.

Here's Apple's page for downloading Java, http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/j2se50release4intel.html

Though it would be hard to accidentally uninstall Java without realizing it, though possible it got corrupted. You can check if Java is still there by opening Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal) and type in "java -version" and that'll give you the version details.
