Can you seriously not use IE on a Mac??

I tried to apply online for an important job today. The website said that I could not access the page since the browser wasn't supported (I use Safari, obviously). They said the webpage required IE 6. I researched how one must download IE for an Apple product, but was led to many dead ends. I need to apply for this job, and rather than going out and using a public computer I would like to just try and see if I can download IE safely from the comfort of my own home.
Please read: If you suggest going into "Develop" and changing the user agent, I did that, and the webpage looked weird and blank. Because it's not truly IE (just mimicks it, from what I understand).
I HATE IE with a vengeance. But need it to apply for this position! So frustrating.....

There is no current version of IE for a Mac.  Have you tried some of the other browser out there, like Chrome or FireFox?  Quite often, you can use one of those in place of IE.  BTW, IE 6 is quite old, and has enough issues that even Microsoft doesn't want to support it any more.  If you are applying for a job that requires you to have IE 6, perhaps it's a good thing that you can't apply for it...

  • Can you really not use a windows-formatted hard drive with Time Machine?

    I still have people in my household that think Windows is the way to go, and so they have used all the hard drives to back up their stuff.
    There is still a reasonable amount of room on one of the hard drives for me to do a Time Machine backup, however it is obviously formatted to Windows.
    Is there ANY way the hard drive can be used with both systems?
    It's a bit of a bummer if I have to shell out for a new one just for my MacBook!
    Thanks

    Do you mean you want to connect a USB drive to the TC?  If so, it will recognize a disk formatted in FAT32, but not ExFAT or NTFS.
    If you mean you want a Windoze-like partition on the TC's internal HD, that's a bit trickier, since it can't be partitioned.  But you could create a disk image on it via Disk Utility, formatted MS-DOS (FAT) aka FAT32, or ExFAT  (I'm not entirely sure if ExFAT would work in a disk image there, but it might.)

  • Can you get and use internet explorer for mac?

    I am wondering If I can obtain and use internet explorer?

    No
    Safari or Firefox  are the optimal choices. At times Safari does not open links with smooth pagination of fonts and lettering / graphics are not clear. So I opt for Firefox. Be aware that you need to close Safari to use Firefox. It has been my experience.that if I forget to close Safari and open Firefox at same time Firefox error message says oops! We need to reset or can't open try again.

  • 'You Are Not Using The Correct Type of Phone Cord' Error

    Having a issue with my fax on my HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless.  Tried to send a fax, it  received a send error.  I ran fax test and it came back with "You are not using the correct type of phone cord".  Nothing has changed since I last fax'd but I check the lines and connection, everything appears ok.  Phone jack is connected to 1-line and Officejet '2-ext' is connected to the phone.  I use a dedicated phone # and the Officejet is set to auto answer.   I can call out and receive calls on the phone connect to the Officejet.  My assumption is that since I can use the phone without issue there is nothing wrong with the phone line.  Any ideas?
    This question was solved.

    I was having the same problem.  I'm using a the 2 wire phone cord provided with the printer and still getting this error.  Turns out that it related to have a phone extension plugged into the printer.  If I unplug the telephone form the extension jack on the back of the printer, then the fax test passes.   I was even using a 2 wire cord on the phone extension but it seems that simply having a telephone plugged into the extension jack will cause this error. 
    Run the test without a telephone plugged into the printer's extension jack and you should be fine.
    Worked for me!

  • Does windows and mac run continuously using parallel, or is there some way to stop xp from running if you are not using it?

    I would like to run a few windows programs but I dont want the mac side to suffer when i am not using the windows os.  Is there some way to shutdown the windows part when you are not using?

    If you are running MS Windows in Parallels or Fusion or any other virtualization  software  you can shut it down while the machine is operating and still run OS X. There is no trick, you shut down MS Windows just like you would with any other MS Windows machine. That is one of the main advantages of virtualizaiton software, the ability to run both environments simultaneously if you want. If you don't want to run Windows then simply don't start the virtualizaiton software or if it's already running quit it like you do any app on a Mac.

  • Can you boot up using time machine

    can you boot up using time machine? have continuous grey screen at startup.

    Time Capsule TC = hardware router and hard disk designed to work with Time Machine.
    Time Machine TM = software in the computer designed to run background backup.
    What you buy is a Time Capsule..
    And yes, that is the whole point of the TC..
    Its fundamental design is a backup device for laptops over wireless so they do not need to be plugged in to do backups.
    You are using it exactly for the intended use.

    All ISP-provided equipment is junk. You could get a decent router and connect it to the Verizon router in bridge mode. It should cost about $ 30.

    Check System Preferences. I think Control-1 is used by something in the OS now. Switch it off. It's a major p[ain the way the OS is taking over more and more of the keyboard, allowing less options for application use.

  • How do you leave your iMac when you're not using it?

    Just curious..
    Hey All..
    I have a 24" iMac 2.8 with a 750GB Hard Drive. I tend to leave it on all the time shutting it down over night probably once a week. I have my settings to turn the display off after 5 minutes and turn off the hard disks "when possible". I just wondered if this was healthy or will it shorten the life expectancy of my pride and joy? I must admit that I do like to leave it on all the time. I leave my Time Capsule on all the time too...should I perhaps shut this down also?
    I have the Applecare program which gives me some piece of mind with my iMac.
    I'd be delighted and interested to hear how you all 'leave' your iMacs when you're not using them.
    Kind regards..

    I have my system plugged into a UPS and generally leave it sleeping. There's a window where I have it scheduled to wake up and then sleep again, but it I otherwise sleep it.
    I suspect that sleep probably puts the least wear on your machine and is safe if you have a UPS. FWIW, an early 2007 24" iMac draws 3W of power when it's off, and 10W or so when asleep ( the newer models use less than 6W). During the boot process, power consumption will go 200-220W for ~1 minute. Normal usage it consumes about 100W. Idling, the machine will use between 70-100W depending on the screen brightness, and about 45W if the display is off and machine is idle. Playing something like WoW brings the power consumption up over the 200W mark.
    The mechanical parts wear proportional to the number of times they are used (physical switches), and the electronic parts wear mostly based on the the result of cycles of temperature changes / surges of voltage. Pressing the power-button to power-on the Mac probably puts the most wear on the unit as a whole. That said, under normal circumstances you are not likely to put enough wear on anything but the hard disk to have it fail.
