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.

    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.

  • Is there any way to open a file with a .msi extension on my new mac?

    I have Camtasia from the pc I was using. It has a .msi file extension for the installation file. Is there any way to open the Camtasia installation file with the .msi extension on my new Mac?

    That's a Microsoft program which requires Windows. You could run on your Mac if you install Windows on it.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8.  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.
    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.
    VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    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. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. 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.

  • Is there any way to open an .xlsb file in numbers?

    Our ad department has recently upgraded their windows PCs, and it seems the new default for Excel to save is .xlsb (excel binary workbook). Is there any way to open this in Numbers, or is my only answer to go over to them again and again, to get them to resave in .xls or .xlsx?

    Ask them to resave as .xls
    If they are polite enough, I'm quite sure that they may change their default format to .xls.

    Is there any way to open an VB6 execulatble application via a Sharepoint application page?

    No, only thing you can do is add a link to a sharepoint application page that points to a vb6 executable, once the end user clicks that one, the client OS and end user decide what happens next.

  • Is there any way to open .mts files in Qicktime and FCPX?

    Is there any way to open .mts files on the Mac? I am reffering ti opening them in Quicktime and in FCPX. My camera costs a LOT, and I think it's ridiculous that I can't open these files. I can't even find a decent conversion tool to do it for me. Please help!

    I just checked this link and it's looks like FCPX have no problem to open it.
    http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/mts
    .mts is also called AVCHD.
    I also check FCPX Documentation here : http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.0.6/#ver2833f855
    And it say it can support AVCHD videos.
    VLC also support it for watching the video and anyway Quicktime X is useless with many codecs.
    Check again to import files in FCPX as i can't test i don't have any .mts files.
    Hope this help.
    You can read this also if you want to convert them : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1412182?start=15&tstart=0
    I will say it's better to use Handbrake, anyway it's what i use.

  • Upgraded to iOS 6 and now I can't open anything in the kindle app? I have to say that I have had my ipad3 for 6 months and intensely dislike the problems with using it. Also is there any way of opening more than one screen as it is hopeless otherwise?

    I Have had my iPad for 6 months as I cannot access my work emails using windows. I have to say that it is the most unhelpful device I have ever used and although it looks like there isn't an answer for some of the questions I have asked below, I thought I would try!
    1) I have upgraded to ios6 and the kindle app will open but crashes and disappears when I try to access a book?
    2) is there any way I can open more than one page at a time, as opening one at a time is hopeless?
    3) Is there any way you can replicate the right click function on word? As pasting and copying on the iPad is irritating to say the least!
    4) why can't my Samsung 11 phone connect to my iPad via Bluetooth? A they can't seem to 'see' each other? I may have turned a setting off when I was recently abroad and didn't want huge roaming charges.
    5) Why do the submit buttons on some websites not work and how can I get them to? I never have a problem with windows, but it is often a problem with the iPad.
    6) I have several websites which I have built and usually upgrade on the windows desktop, usually through Internet explorer, but I can't access the sites properly on the iPad (I can see them but can't alter them) and when sending emails through the websites they won't show the page and I can't navigate the page (the size of the email page is bigger than the iPad screen, but I can't either shrink the page to size or move the page around as you normally would on the pad, any ideas?
    7) finally, when roaming abroad recently, I had no problems using the wifi, but when trying to use the cellular data (using the roaming function) I could not get it to work? The ipad seemed to be connected to the network with no problems, but wouldn't actually update the emails? I tried turning it on and off, but that didn't make a difference. My kindle and mobile phone (both also on 3G ) worked great, it was just (as usual) the ipad playing up.
    8) when wanting to alter part of a sentence, I can't always get the cursor in the right place? Sometimes it is simple the wrong line, but often it will only go at the end or start of a word and not where I want it. Is there any way of making it more exact? Again I never have a problem with moving the cursor on windows, either by mouse or on the touch screen function on windows 7. Any ideas? As after pressing the screen multiple times I just want to throw it out of the window!
    IT might just be that I don't have the correct settings (I am a technophobe) but I absolutely hate the iPad and only have it for work emails, it is so annoying that I can get my mobile phone and kindle3g to work fine, but always have problems with the iPad. I am sure it could be good (and for reading emails on the go in the uk it is great, as I like the key board) but it just seems to make everything else difficult.
    i Hope you can help and sorry for asking questions others have, but I am just hoping that something new might have been developed!
    thanks,
    K

    1) I have upgraded to ios6 and the kindle app will open but crashes and disappears when I try to access a book?
    Try rebooting your iPad, that should fix he issue. I that doesn't work, delete the app and re-download it.  The Kindle books should all be in he Kindle cloud services and you can get them again. I have an iPad2 w/ Kindle app and it works just fine - no issues.
    2) is there any way I can open more than one page at a time, as opening one at a time is hopeless?
    Page as in a kindle book way? turn iPad to landscape position from portrait position. If, however, you mean open more than one application at a time, then no. And not hopeless, as it takes a bit of time to get used to, going from a desktop/laptop format to tablet format.
    3) Is there any way you can replicate the right click function on word? As pasting and copying on the iPad is irritating to say the least!
    It's actually fairly easy. Press down on the word, then you can expand by drawing your finger to cover word/sentence/paragraph/page, hit select or select all then it gives you the option to cut, copy, paste, define. If you want to use a word processing app on the iPad, Pages is a good application.
    4) why can't my Samsung 11 phone connect to my iPad via Bluetooth? A they can't seem to 'see' each other? I may have turned a setting off when I was recently abroad and didn't want huge roaming charges.
    It's the connection on your phone. Samsung Galaxy SII? Android software?  What you have to do is go to the phone's settings and connect via wireless, not Bluetooth. Go to System Settings (on phone) and under Wireless and Networks click 'more' and go to the Tethering and Portable Hotspot option. Set up your mobile wifi hotspot,  name it though it will probably come up with 'AndroidAP', choose a WPA2 security level and put in a password. Go back to previous screen and turn on 'Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot' box. Then on your iPad in the Settings - Wi-Fi section, it should then recognize your phone for tethering. If it's a Windows Phone 7,  I don't know the layout of that software, but presumeably similar.
    5) Why do the submit buttons on some websites not work and how can I get them to? I never have a problem with windows, but it is often a problem with the iPad.
    Sometimes the issue is with the website design, not all websites are optimized for mobile devices - not just iPad but also Android devices. It happens. They're getting there, but occasionally the page might need a refresh.
    6) I have several websites which I have built and usually upgrade on the windows desktop, usually through Internet explorer, but I can't access the sites properly on the iPad (I can see them but can't alter them) and when sending emails through the websites they won't show the page and I can't navigate the page (the size of the email page is bigger than the iPad screen, but I can't either shrink the page to size or move the page around as you normally would on the pad, any ideas?
    It depends on what you use to build the websites on the computer. Recommend a free program on the computer called CoffeeCup Free HTML Editor. I don't recommend using IE period; Firefox or Chrome are my choices on Windows machines. I have two websites that I manage, both using this program. I'm assuming that when you mean you can't access the sites on the iPad you mean to update them? Ostensible there are apps to let you do this. What format are the sites? Without seeing what exactly you mean and what you want to do, it's hard to explain.
    As for seeing full page while emailing within a site, turn iPad to portrait mode, and try to finger-pinch touch the screen to see if that will bring the fuller page  into view. Other option is opening a second tab with same website and just go between tabs to reference material.
    7) finally, when roaming abroad recently, I had no problems using the wifi, but when trying to use the cellular data (using the roaming function) I could not get it to work? The ipad seemed to be connected to the network with no problems, but wouldn't actually update the emails? I tried turning it on and off, but that didn't make a difference. My kindle and mobile phone (both also on 3G ) worked great, it was just (as usual) the ipad playing up.
    If you were outside the US or Canada, my guess is the problem lies within the SIM card in your iPad. If you were outside North America, there are different band levels - I'm guessing you have a SIM thats locked to a particular provider. Band level frequencies differ per country/continent, so a SIM card that will work in Canada/US will not likely work in UK/Europe/Asia/Australia, etc. you will be able to get your emails again when back on a wifi network. Mobile phone may have a different type SIM card (GSM/HSPA) from your iPad SIM. Also, check your email settings.
    8) when wanting to alter part of a sentence, I can't always get the cursor in the right place? Sometimes it is simple the wrong line, but often it will only go at the end or start of a word and not where I want it. Is there any way of making it more exact? Again I never have a problem with moving the cursor on windows, either by mouse or on the touch screen function on windows 7. Any ideas? As after pressing the screen multiple times I just want to throw it out of the window!
    Moving the cursor on a sentence is a matter of putting your finger on the screen where you want it. It's exceptionally easy to do. I'm using the Notes app to write this whole segment and I just need to put my finger where I want to change things and presto it's ready for me to change where I want it.
    Here's a solution: sell your iPad (after you wipe your data off it) to someone who will appreciate it, and put your money towards the Windows Surface Tablet out later this year/early next year, where you can (reportedly) connect a mouse to it. It will have some of the Windows 7/8 functionality that you're more familiar with, or get a netbook.

  • There any way to open an 'offline' image if the originals are gone?

    I recently had pictures, 1827 of them, somehow get deleted off my computer, therefore it resulted in me not being able to do anything with them in Lightroom since they are now considered 'offline'... is there any way a person can somehow get these images off the lightroom program, so I can save them & still have access to them?

    First, are you really sure that your pictures ahve been deleted? You can only be sure when a thorough search in your OS (Mac Finder / Win Explorer) does not find them.
    The fact that LR sows them greyed-out and with question marks does not necessarily mean that the images are deleted.
    That LR is not able to find the images can have several reasons: 
    (a) worst case, the images are not on the hard drive at all.
    (b) the images are on the hard drive but in a different location. This happens when you move images / folders outside of LR.
    (c) images and/or folders have been renamed outside of LR.
    (d) a combination of (b) and (c).
    In case your images are truely deleted you can do a <Print to JPG file>. In the print Module on the right side in the <Print Job> panel besides the words <Print To> click on the small triangles besides <Printer> and select <Print to JPG file> that would save your image as a small jpg.

  • Is there any way to open a previous version of a psd?

    While I was trying to convert an image to a pdf it would not save the item correctly. My computer was having problems with the large size of the item so I was going to restart. I saved the image as a psd so I would not lose the final version of the document i was creating and now that I have opened the psd again the image is flattened to just one layer instead of the 35ish layers i was playing with. Is there any way I can recover the psd that was previously made before the last save.

    No, not unless you use something like Time Machine (Mac) or File History (Windows).
    From my own testing, File History doesn't actually work very well, and isn't a good substitute for a regular backup process.
    You could recover your file from your last regular backup.  You are doing backups, right?  You should be; I recommend nightly.
    There is a gotcha reported from time to time where when saving files as PDF, then later saving as PSD, the layers end up getting flattened (or maybe it's an option that gets turned off, I can't recall).  I remember the takeaway was that it pays to look at the Save As options ([ ] Layers setting?) as a habit when saving.  I'm sorry I don't remember the specifics any better right now.  Maybe it will come to me.

  • HT1531 is there any way to open powerpc apps?

    is there any way to install powerpc apps?
    and im using mac verison 10.7.3 not 10.5 lepard.

    Not in Lion. PPC applications are not supported by Lion. You can try upgrading them to versions that are designed to run on Intel Macs. You can look for Intel compatible alternatives. You can partition your hard drive and install Snow Leopard on one partition that you can use to run PPC applications by installing the Rosetta emulator when you install Snow Leopard.
    Beyond this it's hard to assist because you did not state what PPC applications you want to run.

  • 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.

  • Is there any way to open multiple instances

    Hi,
    we have integrated the tool with FLEX PLM and we prepares images and uploads to Flex PLM from AI using custom scripts.
    when user uploads the first ,it will take more time as AI files will be bit more size.Shows progress bar how much content is uploaded to server.
    user cannot work on other image until the first one finishes.
    There are three solutions in my mind.
    1 : If i can open new instance then i can continue working on new one.
    2 : Reducing the AI file.Is there any best way to reduce the AI file size.
    3 : Uploading the large file to some location to upload quickly and from there to server.
    Can any one help the possibilities in option 1 and 2.
    it would be greatly helpful to me if any other idea helps.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Is there a way to run Internet Explorer on a Mac mini with mountain lion?

    I need to access a professional website that only works with IE (don't get me started on THAT) I need to do billing using this site so need to have full functionality.  Is there a way to run IE on my mac mini with mountain lion?

    The key takeaway here is that yes, you can access Windows 7 (and IE 9) from OS X Mountain Lion.
    The crucial question is about your workflow. If you need concurrent access to both Windows 7 and Mountain Lion, then the Bootcamp solution included with Mountain Lion would not be the right choice. You would need one of the virtualization solutions.
    If you need helpdesk support from a paid product, rather than entirely from a community forum, then the latest Parallel's Desktop or VMware would be a matter of choice, with Parallel's the better decision at this point. Either of these products are under $100, in addition to the cost of a Windows 7 license. You may need the Windows 7 installation media as an .ISO file, rather than on DVD. Check requirements.
    By example, I use Oracle's VirtualBox (free) on Mountain Lion, with a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit guest. The interactive and network performance of this Windows guest are more than adequate on my 2011 mini. I assigned 3 GB memory and 2 of 4 processor threads to the Windows 7 guest. I also restricted guest CPU use to 80%. VirtualBox is installed on my SSD, but the Windows guest is on an external HDD. That is not a default configuration. There are multiple choices for display; from full-screen 1920x1200 (mine) to an isolated resizeable window, to seamless integration with OS X. The Apple keyboard, bluetooth devices (trackpad/mouse), and printer all are recognized. I also have a shared OS X folder with VirtualBox, and copy/paste integration.
    I use VirtualBox as it meets my support (forum) and functional requirements.
    Best wishes,
