Best way to get Internet Explorer 6.0 on Mac Pro

I need Internet Explorer 6 on my Mac Pro in order to copy write literary works through the US Copy Write Office. What is the safest and best way to do this?

Hi...
Microsoft has not written IE for Mac for years.
In order to run IE on a Mac you would have to install Windows using BookCamp located in /Applications/Utlities or by using virtualization software such as VMWare.
You can enable the Develop menu in Safari > Preferences > Advanced then from the Develop menu click Develop > User Agent but even at that, only IE 7, 8, or 9 are available and there's no guarantee that will work.

  • The best way to get 5.1 sound out of Mac Pro

    Hello. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but could someone recommend me the best way to get 5.1 sound of a Mac Pro. Since I don't require hi-fi -level sound, just simple directional audio for gaming and such, I wouldn't like to pour a lot of money to this. As I see it, I'd need an external sound card, internal PCI-E soundcard or speakers that have an optical input. I would like for the cost to be in two digits, euro or dollar.
    Any suggestions about hardware?

    Once again, the issue of 5.1 w/Apple comes up.
    Here is the bottom line.
    You will only get 5.1 audio if the following conditions are true:
    - You are using the OPTICAL output on your Mac
    - You are playing a DVD with a 5.1 soundtrack
    That's it. The simple truth is, that even if you have a Z-5500 setup (like I do), you still will not get 5.1 surround in ///any/// applications other then while playing a DVD.
    There is no way to get 5.1 out of a game on a Mac Pro. No matter how much money you throw at it. The support simply is not there. It is not a software issue, it is not a driver issue. It is the game developer's issue (sort of), and it is a //lack of hardware// issue.
    The complex truth, and I will attempt to explain, isn't that simple.
    Your Mac Pro or Macbook only has a single line-out, that supports 2 channels at the maximum. Optical audio will only handle 2 channels as well- it's the same signal (in two channels) on a different medium, basically.
    All PC soundcards that support proper 5.1 (save for a select few) have //multiple// line-out jacks for Front Left/Right, Center/Sub, and Rear Left/Right (3 plugs total for 5.1). Since your Mac/Mac Pro doesn't have this, you can't hook up a 5.1 speaker set and expect true 5.1.
    You do have optical audio, however, this only works in 5.1 when a Dolby Digital signal is piped through the optical cable.
    Dolby Digital works by encoding a 5.1 signal as a data stream, sending it to a receiver, where it is decoded and played back as 5.1 stereo. DVD's have this audio pre-encoded on the disk.
    If you wanted 5.1 output from your games, they'd need to ether have the sound/audio data encoded as Dolby 5.1, or support encoding on the fly to take a 5.1 signal, encode it, and pipe it out the optical audio plug. Xbox360 does this, because they've licensed the technology from Dolby- as have the game developers.
    Unfortunately, none of the developers for Macintosh gaming have yet to include live Dolby 5.1 encoding (I think Doom 3 had a beta patch that did- I could be wrong).
    If the game doesn't support the above feature, then you only get basic 2 channel audio.
    *Do not buy a Fireface 800.*
    This is a professional audio interface (like an external soundcard). While it supports 5.1 output via 6 individual outputs, you need SPEAKERS that have +built in amplifiers+ (called a Studio Monitor). Not just one amplifier- all the speakers have it built in and take a balanced stereo input.
    You're looking at $1300 for the Fireface 800, and another $200 per speaker. This is not cheap, is not meant for gaming, and is not consumer grade equipment. It's pro audio, designed for Logic 8 and similar.
    Even if you did spend the money, trust me, I'd know... I have a 5.1 setup running through an Apogee Ensemble (a $2000 "soundcard"), and I do not get 5.1 support from Quake 4, C&C 3, or any other game. I only get 5.1 surround from my audio production in Logic 8.
    To recap, since this has been asked many times- and I don't want you wasting your money here (just trying to be helpful!)...
    *There is no simple or cost-efficient way to get 5.1 from your Mac, other then while playing a DVD movie.*
    I would highly recommend that you buy a very good pair of 2.1 speakers with a Sub woofer. Maybe even a pair that takes an optical input for audio. If you really want to spend the money to *watch a DVD in surround sound,* then you can... And it'll work wonderfully, but gaming will not give you surround sound at all.
    *Again- There are no games out that support 5.1. Just because you technically support Dolby 5.1, doesn't mean the applications are aware of it and can utilize the 5.1 surround.*
    Edit: I may have neglected to also mention that the Firewave unit will support 5.1 properly through 3 separate plugs (much like a PC soundcard does), however the only game I am aware of that supports this is Unreal Tournament 2003 for Mac (or was it 04?), with an experimental patch for 5.1 via OpenAL. Last I heard, it worked okay, but crashed occasionally.
    Most of the other games out there just don't support 5.1, period (probably due to the lack of hardware on the Mac computers from the factory).

  • Best way to get internet between two buildings???

    Hello all! I have some questions about a possible setup I am thinking of running.
    I have building that has internet coming into it. 15yds away, I have another building (which is brick) that has no internet options. I was thinking about buying two Airport Extreme's, making one the base and using the other one in the other building the access point for WDS. Then buy a couple of the Airport Expresses to push the signal throughout that building.
    Thoughts on this? Is there a better way to get internet between two buildings (without running cables) and then push it through out that building?
    I am open to any an all suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Grant

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Ethernet is always the best choice for signal strength and reliability. If you do not want to run ethernet cable to the second building, your options are down to ethernet powerline adapters and wireless.
    The ethernet powerline adapters work by transmitting the ethernet signal over the AC power line. The difficulty here may be that the other building is on a different electrical circuit, so it may or may not work depending on how the electrical wiring is configured. An electrician could run tests to see if this would work.
    The least reliable option is wireless. To have the best chance of working well, the "sending" and "receiving" routers need to be able to "see" each other through a window or other opening. Be sure to test with a laptop in the second location to see if you will have a strong enough signal to work with before you go this route.

  • What is the best way to run internet explorer on Mac and IPad and is it safe to do so??

    I need to run internet explorer to access new billing software,  what is the best way to do so and is it safe to run this on macbook and ipad if possible??

    You can't run IE on an iPad and the only way to use it on a Mac, since it's been discontinued for years for the Mac OS, is to install Windows either via Boot Camp or via running Windows as a virtual machine using something such as Parallels Desktop (my personal preference).

  • Is there a way to set internet explorer compatibility on my Mac (in Chrome or Safari)?

    I am trying to view a website that requires IE compatibility.  There is a Chrome extension called IE Tab but it only works on a Windows machine, not a Mac.  Any idea what works on a Mac?

    I am trying to view a website that requires IE compatibility.
    If at all possible avoid that website. I would be concerned about undesirable things going into your computer.  In the Windows world Internet Explorer is a common conduit to damage computers.
    If they are shortsighted enough to do this I would be very concerned about other mistakes they may be making.
    My browser of choice is Firefox.

  • How do I get Internet Explorer on my Macbook Pro?

    I need to get on a website for work and it can only be run through internet explorer. Trust me, I know this *****, but I don't know how to get around it. So I need to find a way to get Internet Explorer on my Macbook Pro.

    You run it through Windows or CrossOver Mac. The Mac OS X version of Windows Explorer doesn't work in 10.7 and won't be updated to do so or patch security holes.

  • Best way to get photos from windows explorer into PSE 11

    Old story.  Computer crashed.  I re-installed PSE 11. All of the photos are back in My Pictures.  What is the best way to get all of the photos back into PSE 11.  Thanks for your help.  I really appreciate it.

    There is a direct option in Organizer which lets you import from iPhoto. This is under Import dropdown menu in left panel.
    If you are importing from iPhoto'09, your Tags, Albums Events, captions, star rating would also get imported apart from your media. This works differently for iPhoto'011 where you can get only the media to the Organizer,
    Just a couple of things to know:
    1. If in iPhoto preferences, you have chosen to create copies of your photos in iPhoto library and your library hence refers to the media store inside the library package, then on importing from iPhoto, Organizer would create copies of all those media under your pictures folder. That means, it would not corrupt your iPhoto package or modify it in any way.
    2. However, if in iPhoto, you are organizing by using references to original location on your Hard drive i.e. you are not creating copies of media in iPhoto library then on importing from iPhoto to Organizer, the Organizer would also use the same references and would not create copies of the media.
    Hope that helps!

  • How do I access "Firefox is NOT compatible with this application. For best performance, please use Internet Explorer 5.0 and above...." web sites; when I try to download any alternate browser, then a warning that alternate is "imcompatable with your opera

    How do I access websites that warn: "Firefox is NOT compatible with this application. For best performance, please use Internet Explorer 5.0 and above...."? When I try to download any alternate browser, all I get is another warning that the alternate is "not compatible with your operating system." Is Firefox preventing this? The site listed below is a job application site. I've had this same problem with other job application sites also.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    https://storefront.kenexa.com/lithia/cc/Home.ss

    There should be a User Agent Switcher menu item under Tools, which gives you the browser names you can impersonate.
    The menu item name changes to the browser UA you are presently using.
    There is also a User Agent Switcher button, you can add it using View -> Toolbars -> Customize, and dragging the button to your toolbar.
    See http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/features/ and http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/help/
    You can just start trying IE versions (or the versions it says on the site) until it lets you in.

  • Is there any way to open Internet Explorer?

    I wonder if there's any way of opening Internet Explorer up, together with the specified URL without the user clicking on the IE icon using Java??
    Thank you in advance.

    IE (Internet Explorer) is fused into Windows and so Windows will always be able to access it, thats right, you can NEVER really get rid of it. That's because Microsoft decided for you that YOU want their browser and no body elses. Either Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera, or HotJava will be installed on a Windows-based system so do this to get IE running.
    String theURL = "http://java.sun.com"; // chnage this to whatever URL you want.
    try {
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:/program files/internet explorer/iexplore.exe " + theURL)'
    } catch(IOException e) {
    Now it runs IE, netscape is something similar.
    MacOS will be different, also Unix/Linux.

  • HT1349 I lost/had my iPhone stolen. Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.

    Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It (Find my iPhone) was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.

    Find My iPhone is good for misplaced iPhone but not good for thief and it was never meant to be.
    You chance of getting it back is very small.
    There are a few things you can try.
    Try remote lock/wipe your iPhone through Find My iPhone.

    You can report to the police, cell carrier (expensive cell charges for international calls, roaming etc)
    Change all the passwords used in iPhone: Apple ID, E-mail, Bank Account ....

  • What's the best way to get user testing of our app (we're based in the UK)

    Hi all.
    We've just developed our first app for Palm and would really like to get some feedback from Palm users (our app allows users to take photos and send them as real printed postcards. We'd be very happy to give users free postcards in exchange for feedback).
    The problem we have is that Palm users are pretty sparse in the UK. We've found that user testing with non-Palm users becomes handset testing rather than app testing. We have to teach them how to use Palm ("Where's the back button?") and so the testing mainly focuses on the particularities of Palm rather than our app. Plus, we don't benefit from the user being able to compare to other Palm apps.
    Any advice on the best way to get feedback from Palm users? Especially as they'll need to download the SDK and install our app using it in order to get it onto their phones.
    If any of the users of this forum are interested in giving the app a go and sending us feedback, I'd love to send you the IPK and then chat. Just send me an email using [email protected]
    Our app is available for Pixi+, Pre+ and Pre2.
     Thanks,
     Freddie.
    Post relates to: Pixi Plus p121ueu (SFR)

    Hello freddie:
    Welcome to the Palm Forums. Thank You for the offer. I highly suggest offering it up
    to our many enthusiasts on Twitter as a beta with the #webos hashtag or joining
    the Precentral.net community and list it in a topic there, homebrew beta. You would
    get better beta response if you Package your app and put it in an ipk to simplify
    the install.
    Hope that helps... Best of luck with your app!

    I cannot get itunes to work/install on myPC. I am running windows 8 in a 64 bit machine. I also want to purchase books via itunes for my Nook. Are you deliberately excluding PC owners so we cannot use ituens on our computers???? I have selected a community but have no idea what community I should be working with. Can somone explai these communities to me? Also. you don't allow much time to go thru the sign up process. I had to start over SEVERAL times as you kept timing me out. Jesus...when people are signing up for the first time, we have no idea of the questions that will be asked. Give us a break and give us time to sign up. Not everone is disability free and able to go thru your process quickly...you are NOT user friendly. You should be for people who are wanting to join your community. I used to want an Apple product but now that  I have had first hand experience with your web page, I think I will probably stay away from Apple products. VERY DISAPPOINTING

  • Starting Fresh With iTunes 9.0.1...best way to get music back in/import?

    Had some library troubles with iTunes 9, and decided to do a clean install of not only the program, but of Snow Leopard itself. I was waiting on an iTunes update to come out before I decided to re-load my library in, since I didn't want to risk repeat problems (I've always been one of those bleeding edge-ers, and this is the 1st time I've ever had a problem/held back...guess I learned my lesson). 9.0.1 is out and seems to address the problems I'd been having, but I caught the "start fresh" bug and I want to start over with iTunes. No playlists, play counts, etc need to be saved.
    I do have a full backup of my previous system (thanks SuperDuper!), and I'm wondering what the best way to get all of my music back into iTunes is.
    -Do I use the Finder to simply drag the contents of my old "iTunes Music" folder into the new "iTunes Media" folder?
    -Do I drag the whole folder and drop it onto the iTunes window? (I'm worried this method won't put iPhone apps, ringtones, audiobooks and podcasts in the right place).
    -Do I use the import function?
    Notes: prior to making the backup, I did upgrade to/select iTunes Media Organization
    I did see THIS article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451 but it says it's old and I wonder if it applies to iTunes 9.
    Thanks for any help!

    You might want to check that your certificate that you made has been applied to iTunes.app
    try this code in Terminal"
    codesign -dvvvv /Application/iTunes.app
    Does the name on the certificate match the one you created?

    I recently added my old mac hard drive to a new macbook with an SSD as my main OSX drive. I am having trouble with permissions in viewing my old hard drive, when I save a permission when I reboot the full access is changed again .  What is the best way to get complete access to my old hd installed in my new Macbook?

    Open the Get Info window for the old drive. Click the Lock icon on the bottom of that window and type in your password. In the permissions area click the Plus sign ( + ) and Add your Username to it and set it to Read & Write. Close that window. you should now have full access to all the files.
