Can't access internet explorer thru safari or firefox

I have a website that can only be accessed thru internet explorer 5.5 or newer. I cannot get there thru safari OR firefox. Help!

If that's the sad but true case, there is Parallels...

  • Can i access Internet Explorer using firefox?

    The website I need to access says it will only accept Internet Explorer. Can I download Internet Explorer from Firefox?

    Your best bet is probably to get a copy of the Windows operating system. The other option is a hardware emulator which most non technical users won't choose. A hardware emulator is not guaranteed to work either. If you do a search on Google for Wine HQ you will find Wine one of the most popular hardware emulators.

  • Can I delete Internet explorer 8 after installing Firefox with IE

    I've just installed Firefox & I can open Internet Explorer with it and separately. i want to get rid of IE which was installed earlier.
    Can I do it without harming my IE?

    Not really sure what you are asking, or why
    # removal of a desktop icon for an earlier version of IE
    # removal of IE itself
    I would never consider removing IE from my system, even though I had removed all IE desktop icons, and from Start Menu, etc. I did put one back somewhere. That is not to say that I don;t use IE -- it's just that if I do use IE, I launch it from Firefox through the "Launchy" extension so I am looking at the same page in two browsers.
    There are some people who remove IE, which can be done, because Windows updates no longer use IE. IE has been reduced to an interface to features builtin to the Windows Operating System.
    You may be referring to an extension that uses the IE engine, that part is not part of Firefox it is either invoking from the system like IE or is invoking IE.
    If you have a major problem with a browser what are you going to do. Basically
    # fix the problem, or
    # use something else

  • Why is it that I can recieve my banking information from a website on Internet Explorer but not on FireFox

    I can gain access to my bb&t banking account on Internet Explorer but when I try to enter the same website on FireFox the following message appears:
    Service Unavailable
    The server is temporarily unable to service your request.
    Explanation
    The server is unable to service a request because a needed resource is unavailable.
    Solution
    Please try again later.

    Hi, I have the same problem, but I have been using firefox 10 for some time. Everything worked well until 3 days ago, when I could not access my internet banking account. As above, I got a service unavailable message from my bank.
    I can connect with internet explorer and safari. I have removed firefox 10 and reinstalled it, but still can not access my bank.
    Any ideas

    There hasn't been an IE that would work on a Mac since 2002. The only way to use IE today is to run Windows on your Mac:
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • How can I open Internet explorer only pages on a mac? The website that I need to access only permits internet explorer

    How can I open Internet explorer 'only' pages on a mac, without creating a drive partition and installing windows separately?
    I've tried winbottler, but it doesn't seem to serve my purpose. The web site that I'm trying to access only permits Internet explorer.

    Microsoft has not written IE for Mac for years so unless you want to create a parition and install Windows, or user a Windows emulator, you're out of luck for installing IE on a Mac.
    The web site that I'm trying to access
    There might be a work around for you since it's just the one site.
    Go to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Enable the Develop menu.
    Now click Develop from the Safari menu bar then click User Agent > IE 9, 8, or 7

  • I need Internet Explore for a certain application. Can I download Internet Explorer?

    I need Internet Explore for a certain application. Can I download Internet Explorer?

    The last Mac version of IE is so old it doesn't display web pages correctly. It also doesn't have ActiveX. If that's why the site requires IE, the old Mac PowerPC version of IE still wouldn't help you.
    You could use Boot Camp to install Windows to its own bootable partition. Or, use VM software (Parallels, VMware, VirtualBox), and install Windows in a VM. Then you'd have Windows running inside OS X with access to IE.

  • New Ipod Touch 5g can't access Internet in home network (using Linksys E4200 router). But, OK with other Wifi.

    Just bought new Ipod Touch 5g. I found out it can't access Internet in home network. not really cannot access, but very slow to open any web page, App Store failed to access, etc. But, OK with other Wifi (office & starbucks). Others existing iOS devices (Iphone4 & Ipad2) have no problem like this. I'm using Linksys E4200 router at home. anyone has any idea why?

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • How can I get internet explorer on my macbook pro?

    How can I install internet explorer on my macbook pro? Thanks!

    Install Windows 7 into a virtual machine program (IE comes with it), I suggest VirtualBox as it's free and gets updates for near forever. However VMFusion and Parallels has more features but then to drop you if you don't upgrade OS X.
    Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?

  • IPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet.

    iPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet at work. The admin says the router lets my iPhone connect to LAN, but the iPhone does not have server IP to access the internet. I entered the server IP and port number in the HTTP PROXY fields but I still can not access the web. Any ideas?
    TIA
    Rich

    You IT person should be able to sort this out.  But, they seems to be too busy or disinterested to do this.  Suggest you provide the it person with an iPhone to get interested.
    Any could be lots of things.
    The best you can do is to get access to the admin setup for networking on a pc?  The internet settings are all the same.  Only what names the manufactures change from OS to OS. Check and compare parameters.
    Phone works to internet at home, I assume?
