Is there an IE browser compatible with os 10.8.5?

Which Internet Exployer browser is compatible with iMac v.10.8.5? I need the IE v. 8 or 9 to interact with a state government website.

The last version of IE that ran on a Mac was v5 and it is so old it cannot render these forums properly.
You can turn on the Develop menu in Safari (Safari Preferences > Advanced tab; check "Show Develop menu in menubar"). Then you can use its User Agent function to make the site think you have IE. However, if the state cheaped out and put up a site that will only work with IE, the User agent change may not work.
There are ways to run IE on the Mac without installing Windows via BootCamp. Search for Crossover Mac (payware but has a demo) or Wine (free, I believe). I tested the Crossover version and it installed a version of IE automatically. Worked pretty well.
I would contact my state senator of representative and tell them that any state-sanctioned site that can only be accessed with IE is supporting a monopoly and should be rebuilt to work with any browser.

Is my Netscape 7.2 browser compatible with Tiger?

I've recently upgraded to Panther which is compatible with Netscape 7.2 as my browser for my Earthlink email client (for email and bookmarks). Will this still work if I upgrade to Tiger at 10.4.6?
My other 3rd party applications check out okay for Tiger:
Microsoft Office v. X,
Intego NetBarrier, VirusBarrier, and NetUpdate, and
my current printer drivers for both hp printers.
I've noticed that Netscape's upgrade to version 8 is only for Windows operating systems.
Thanks.
Raymon

Netscape 7.2 should work with Tiger.
Intego software will likely need to get upgraded, and much of it is unnecessary, since Mac OS X has its own built-in firewall. If you want a firewall, it is better to have a router with the ability to do its own port management than use Intego's software which can slow down the Mac significantly.
The anti-virus software is somewhat more of a precaution for sharing with Windows users, as no real virus threat has yet been introduced to Mac OS X except a few Word macro viruses, though it is better to be prepared than not. I for one find the auto-virus detection systems on many anti-virus software slow down the Mac too.
There may be better updates of Office at http://www.microsoft.com/mac/ for working with Mac OS X 10.4. If you find those don't work, Office 2004 does work quite well with 10.4, and you don't have to upgrade to Office 2004 if you don't want to, as http://www.neooffice.org/ also works with 10.4 and it is free.
As for your HP printer compatibility, check the website of HP for updated drivers. If it says 10.3 and above, that does not mean it is 10.4 compatible. http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html is my FAQ on printers and Mac OS X with more direct links to driver updates.

Are there any game controllers compatible with the ipad?

ios7 now supports game controllers, ive seen a few such as logitech and moga contollers built for iphones, but ive not heard of any available for ipads. Does anybody know any different?

There are a few compatible controllers that use bluetooth, but they are not well reviewed. I'd hold out a bit longer until some decent hardware comes out.

Is firefox browser compatible with my lumia 535

Iwas using Lumia 520 before &Firefox was running good.But now I cannot download Firefox with my Lumia 535

Both Lumia 520 and Lumia 535 are Windows Phones so there is no version of Firefox that worked on either phones and not planned for anytime soon. Whatever you used that was supposedly Firefox was not Firefox from Mozilla.
If you were using this then that is not even Firefox. http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/firefox/6544df57-dd9c-4a61-bf89-9ba3832b849c
Firefox is only available for Windows, Mac OSX 10.6+ and Linux for desktop and mobile Firefox for Android 2.3+.

Why is there not an ihome compatible with the iphone 5 long after the release of the phone and next ten apple products

i absolutley hate the adaptor for the iphone 5 it will only charge my phone and will not play music through my dock where is the new ihomes for the next gen apple products

Or talk to the store manager or Apple Customer Relations and explain that you brought the phone in twice before the warranthy expired for the same problem and that there was no permanent solution, though if clearing out the debris fixed it previously, it's perhaps unlikely that they'll think it a defect. You can try, though. Just complaining here will accomplish nothing since we're all fellow users in these forums.

How can I get photos from my LG phone to my Mac with bluetooth, when LG says there bluetooth is not compatible with Macs?

Any ideas?

Is there a creative suite CS6 version compatible with a Mac OS X 10.5.8?

I downlaoded CS6 on my computer only to find out CS6 is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.5.8, it says it must be 10.6.0, but I don't want to get a whole new computer, is there a CS6 version compatible with a Mac OS X 10.5.8?

It really will depend on which Adobe product or suite you are trying to install. In general though most of our Creative Suite 6 products require 10.6.8. Which Adobe product did you purchase? Besides your operating system is there other system requirements which you also are not currently able to fulfill?

Dock VB043AA (compatible with Elitebook 8470p) - which power supply ?

Hello,
There are 2 docks compatible with the 8470p
a 90w dock (VB041AA)
a 230w dock (VB043AA)
I don't see real differences when checking the specs:
http://portal.tugraz.at/portal/page/portal/Files/zid/files/datenblatt/computing/HP-Docking.pdf
Is it possible to use the 90w power supply using the "230w" dock ?
Why is there a power difference between the 2 docks ?
Thanks a lot

My Macbook browser is not compatible with a business website I must use for work. Is there a Windows compatible browser for my Mac?

My Macbook browser is not compatible with a business website I must use for work. Is there a Windows compatible browser for my Mac?

If the site has been optimised for IE (which is non-standards compliant), the best you can try is to spoof IE from Safari.
I'm using an earlier version of Safari than you, so I hope Allan or someone will correct me if the procedure is different.
First, go to Safari Preferences and enable the developer menu;
Then go to the menu and select User Agent - choose a flavour of IE.
Works about 50% of the time.
It won't work if the site is using Activex controls.

I cannot find a Google Toolbar add-on that is compatible with Firefox 7.0.1. Is it true that there isn't one?

My Dell Inspiron 1464 laptop crashed recently and Dell replaced the hard drive and re-installed Win 7 Home Premium, 64 bit. I bought the laptop in 2009 and soon experienced a lot of compatibility problems between the computer and peripherals, like printers, and in some Web applications. I did some Web research and it seemed that the problems were related to the Win 7 64 bit OS. I talked to Dell and they acknowledged that my problems might be due to that 64 bit version. They sent me the 32 bit installation disc to replace the OEM 64 bit version and I downgraded the OS on my Dell. This seemed to solve my problems, so I have been using that until the computer crashed on 30 Sept. this year.
After it crashed, I contacted Dell and we walked through a number of diagnostic tests and, although we couldn't find anything obviously wrong with the HDD, it just wouldn't load Win 7 and wouldn't boot. Dell concluded that the HDD was well and truly buggered somehow.
They sent me a box and I sent the laptop to them for repair.
Dell replaced the HDD and re-installed the 64 bit Win version at my request, since I had been advised by my IT guys at work that more things were now compatible with the 64 bit version than when I bought it in 2009. In addition, I had purchased a newer printer and other external bits in the past year and expected that I wouldn't have the compatibility issues now. With the full original version, I would be able to use more of my computer's resources.
Before I sent the computer back to Dell for repair, I took it to Staples and had the Tech Support guys there transfer the data from the wonky hard drive to an external drive, which they did successfully. In fact, I did this on advice from one of the Dell tech support techs with whom I spoke.
I got the computer back from Dell this last week and re-downloaded Firefox, which is my preferred browser, but I can't seem to add the Google Toolbar to it, now. I have the Google toolbar on Internet Explorer and have used it in earlier versions of Firefox, especially the "translate" function, since I do considerable research in documents in many languages. When I tried to download the Google Toolbar and add it to my new Firefox installation, it says I can't. When I do an Internet search I find many posts saying that Google Toolbar does not work with any Firefox of versions 5 or higher. Is this true? If not, how can I add Google Toolbar to my Firefox 7.0.
Thank you.
Mark Fritzler

You can turn off compatibility checking, but more and more of the Google Toolbar will not work. Google is no longer supporting the Google Toolbar so you should use the alternatives.
Hi Mark,

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.

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.

I recently purchased an older model computer with Microsoft Me from 2000. It doesn't have a web browser and I would like to download Firefox. Where do I find the download compatible with Windows Me and how do I download it?

I have looked in your web site product downloads and I am unable to find a web browser download that is compatible with Windows Me from 2000. What am I missing? Is there a web browser download that is even compatible? It is just a second computer for my grandsons to use and do homework on, but I am unable to get up the internet.
