Problems with getting internet explorer on my mac with virtual box 4.3.20, who can help?

This is what I did:
1) downloaded and installed virtual box 4.3.20
2) copied
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xdissent/ievms/master/ievms.sh | IEVMS_VERSIONS="11" bash
in the Terminal (for IE 11 only). I got this from the link: Internet Explorer for Mac the Easy Way: Run IE 7, IE8, & IE9 Free in a Virtual Machine
3) that is where things went wrong, see attached image for the error I get (after a long time) in the Terminal
Tried it twice but every time the same problem.. I hope someone can help me!

The error means that your download session was interrupted. There could be a problem with your Internet connection or a problem with the remote server providing the download. If you otherwise have no trouble with Internet, I suspect the later.
But why would you want to bother downloading someone's virtual machine to run MS Internet Explorer? Not only is there a real security risk since you don't know what the VM or installation script is doing, but if the VM is running MS Windows, then the person providing the software is breaching software distribution and copyrights laws, and so will you, using the software.
Btw, have you read any of the comments? Do you really want to download 20GB? (nonsense)
If you need IE and VirtualBox, simply create a new VM and install MS Windows using a regular copy and enter your license code. There is also no need to install different versions of IE, since IE can be configured to run as a prior version.
However, there is no need to install and run MS Windows to run IE. There are products that provide free Windows API to let you run PC applications as they were Mac applications without installing Windows, e.g. Wineskin, Wine Bottler, or commercial solutions, such as Crossover.

  • Eliminate problem with getting internet explorer to connectup online

    When I attempt to bring up my internet explorer (IE) 11,  I get error message indicating there is a problem with the internet connection.  Please help me to resolve this problem. My computer is connected to the internet through a broadband linking
    me to the internet by wifi 

    Hello robertmaybury,
    Do you mean that the computer connects to the Wi-Fi and you can’t use Internet Explorer 11 to visit the website?
    Have you made any change before this issue?
    Can you normally use other programs like skype?
    Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
    1. Run the command ipconfig /all in CMD and share us the result
    2. Run the command ping www.bing.com and ping 8.8.8.8, and then check if we lose the packages.
    3. Check if you use proxy in the Internet Explorer
    4. Check if we have correctly configure the DNS.

  • HT1222 How can I get Internet Explore 6 for Mac

    Dear Friends
    Happy New Year to you all
    I need Internet Explore 6 to instal in my mac book pro how can I get it installed

    If some website is saying you need IE 6, try this:
    Enable the Develop Menu in Safari Preferences.
    Then choose one of the IE user Agents. Then try the site again.
    This won't work with a site that is programmed to use only ActiveX controls.

  • How do I get Internet explorer on my mac

    I just started an at home job and I find I need Internet Explorer to do one aspect of this job. Any advice on what I need to do and what exactly is Boot Camp?
    thanks
    Arlene

    Microsoft has not written IE for Mac for years. BootCamp creates a partition so you can install Windows. You will need a Windows installation disc.
    See the BootCamp installation guide.

    Check out VMware also.

  • HT4991 How to I get internet explorer on my mac. Please help?

    I have just purchased my Mac Air to use in a business that uses microsft small business server.
    For some reason, I cannot use the sharepoint without internet explorer.
    Does anyone know how I can load this onto the Mac Air please?

    There is no IE for the Mac. The Mac version of IE ceased to exist at least 7 or 8 years ago. You can try using FireFox instead of Safari or you can enable the Develop menu in Safari by checking that option in the Advanced panel of Safari's preferences. You can then change the User Agent to IE 7, 8, or 9 and see if that helps.

  • Is there any way to use Internet Explorer on a Mac? I have one insurance company that I do business with that you must use internet explorer

    Is  there any way to use Internet Explorer on a Mac Book Pro? I have one company that I do business with that only uses Internet Explorer

    Internet Explorer is not available for Mac.
    But you can make Safari pretend to be Internet Explorer in some cases.
        Safari > Preference > Advanced
        Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
        "Develop" menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
        Click Develop, move mouse down to "User Agent".
        Select Internet Explorer from popup on the rightside.
        After using Internet Explorer, revert back to Safari, doing the same routine.

  • Where/How do I get Internet Explorer for MAC OS 10.8.2?

    Where/How do I get Internet Explorer for MAC OS 10.8.2?

    Unfortunately no, you can make a change in Safari to allow it to appear to be IE to the website but if any Windows specific services (such as Active X) are needed it still won't work.
    If you absolutely must have IE you should install Windows, preferably in a Virtual Machine, like Parallels.

  • How do I get an Internet Explorer on my Mac OS X, I need it to run work programs?

    How do I get Internet Explore on my Max OS X, I need it to run work programs?

    If you are running an intel machine, you have Boot Camp on your machine, use it to install Windows on the partition it makes, and then you can use Internet Explorer.  If you don't have an intel, you can use a virtual windows program, something like Parallels or VM ware.

  • How to get Internet Explorer to ask for Open/Save

    For most binary file types, Internet Explorer asks whether you want to open or save the file, and gives you a further choice of skipping that prompt in the future. Nothing I do gives me access to this prompt for PDFs and Adobe Reader. On a computer out of the box, with a fresh installed of Adobe Reader set not to open PDFs in a browser window, a click on a link to a PDF will open automatically in Adobe Reader. It will not prompt me whether I want to open or save the file.
    I can edit this choice in the registry for any other type of file. For instance, if I set MP3s to open automatically in Windows Media Player when clicked, and then I change my mind, I can delete a certain key in the registry and I'll be prompted once again. This is not true for PDFs associated with Adobe Reader.
    So my question is, how can I get Internet Explorer to prompt me whether I want to open or save the PDF?
    I'm using Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8.

    From Microsoft ou will see IE is not available for the Mac:

    You can try the web page in Safari (which is already installed), or
    try downloading and installing firefox (download from here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/) or
    try google chrome (https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/?brand=CHMA&utm_campaign=en&utm_so urce=en-ha-na-us-bk&utm_medium=ha)

  • Fms : 'onDisconnect' not called up with MS Internet Explorer users

    Hello
    We are using Flash media server 3.5 with Windows.
    We have deconnection problems with visitors using Microsoft Internet  Explorer (to be fully confirmed but we are nearly 100% sure) and in chat  rooms; there they wait for their turn to speak to an online consultant,  sometimes this waiting list can be 10 to 15 strong.
    Normally, when a client is automatically disconnected from a session,  whatever the reason it is the ‘onDisconnect’ which is called up.
    Sometimes and with MS Internet Explorer this is not the case : the  visitor or user is not anymore present in the chat room, he has quit or  he got his interview with the consultant but ‘onDisconnect’ is not  launched.
    This causes unexpected problems like one or several people in the  waiting list being kicked out of the ‘room all of a sudden without  explanation for the user.
    Normally our consultants are on the air for one hour; after this time  frame another consultant comes into the same chat room and normally he  gets the remaining waiting list from the previous consultant and the  previous hour of chat. Sometimes but often, the new consultant coming in  sees the first one or the first two of the wainting list kicked out of  the list : he then takes the second or third one in the old waiting  list.
    This is very annoying and time consuming to respond to legitimate calls from customers.
    Have you encountered such a problem, and if so, do you have an answer to the problem ?
    Regards

    It's extremely common and is a well known bug of IE. Just do a search of "ghost connections" and "IE" and you'll come up with all kinds of things. Essentially IE doesn't give up the SWF when the browser closes or just the tab is closed.

  • BW Error on Portal, Right Click gets (Internet Explorer) Menu

    Hi Experts,
    Our Netweaver Portal is 2004s. There is BW system also in the landscape whose reports are fetched and displayed on the portal. I get the errors when I navigate to (Role) -> GroupReports (Workset) -> Cockpit - > Customer Projects -> Plan Cost Quality -> Market Unit.
    Now when I click on Market Unit (in detailed Navigation), its generates a Chart (Image) in the content Area which has many Market Units on the screen. From the list of Market Units in this Image I select any Market unit then Right Click on "Market Unit"- >GoTo-> Projects : Plan Cost Quality by Company. (This right Click gets me BW TYPE of options for DrillDown etc).
    It processes and gets me the Name of the Market unit in the NAVIGATION BLOCK. In this Navigation Block, if I right Click on "BUYING CUSTOMER", it gets me a Internet Explorer (Right Click) Menu (with options like OPEN, OPEN IN NEW WINDOW, SAVE TARGET AS..., PRINT TARGET etc ) and not a BW iView Menu that allows me facilities like DRILL DOWN etc.
    There are these JAVA SCRIPT ERRORS at the bottom of the browser (left Side - with a message "Done but with errors on page"), when this page is loading after I do Right Click on Market Unit"- >GoTo-> Projects : Plan Cost Quality by Company.
    Following are the Java Script Errors in order of NEXT:
    1. 'SAPBWJSgdo' is null or not an object
    2. Permission Denied.
    Plz suggest what needs to be done to resolve this issue.
    Regards

  • 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.

  • How do i get internet explorer on my iMac

    how do i get internet explorer on my iMac

    If all you want  to do is use IE because some sites insists on it then what is suggested above may work, i.e, change the user agent to make the site think you are using IE.  Most browsers support that feature either directly as in Safari or with add-on/extensions.  The only things that may go wrong is some drawing or a few other things may not work properly  if the site uses some non-standard IE-only html conventions.  My opinion of that is if a web site is going to take that kind of windows-centric attitude in this day and age of multiple browsers then screw 'em.

  • How do I get internet explorer

    How do I get internet explorer for MAC.  I am only able to access a military site for work via IE.

    IE for Mac hasn't existed since OS9 days.  I think there are some browsers that will fake their identity, telling web sites that they are IE when they are really something else.  The site may then work providing it doesn't really, really need IE.  I don't have a list in front of me but browse the web for something like browser emulation (user agent).
