Need internet explorer of firefox on Mac

I am going back to school and doing it online. I have done a system check with the platform my school uses and it says I must have internet explorer or firefox. Is there a mac version of these that will work? We had looked into the option of getting Parallels and windows installed but can't really afford it right now. By using either one of these is there security issues I should be aware of?

Click here and use the Mac OS X download link. Internet Explorer should no longer be used in Mac OS X.

Best way to get Internet Explorer 6.0 on Mac Pro

I need Internet Explorer 6 on my Mac Pro in order to copy write literary works through the US Copy Write Office. What is the safest and best way to do this?

Hi...
Microsoft has not written IE for Mac for years.
In order to run IE on a Mac you would have to install Windows using BookCamp located in /Applications/Utlities or by using virtualization software such as VMWare.
You can enable the Develop menu in Safari > Preferences > Advanced then from the Develop menu click Develop > User Agent but even at that, only IE 7, 8, or 9 are available and there's no guarantee that will work.

Need to upgrade from Internet Explorer to Firefox

I'm running Internet Explorer 5.2 for Mac, and downloaded Firefox 2.0.0.2, but when I try to install it, I get "Image name: Firefox 2.0.0.2--Image format: UDIF read-only--Checksum: CRC32 $6DBEAAAF INVALID---Unable to verify "Firefox 2.0.0.2.dmg"
In the "Open with App" box, under "to open UDIF device", I get "Disk Copy 10.1--created with: "not available"
If I disable the checksum, I can get the Firefox logo to appear, but when I double-click on it, a box appears saying "Firefox has unexpectedly quit"
Possibly the download was incomplete, as I have to use a dial-up where I'm lucky to get 28.8K, but it said "complete"
Am I doomed to Internet Explorer 5.2 FOREVER?

Welcome To Discussions fabfox!
Have you considered upgrading to a newer version of OS X?
Here is some information, to assist you in that endeavor.
Mac OS X Versions 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, are complete system upgrades that must be purchased.
Once an OS has been installed, the point upgrades, such as 10.1.x to 10.1.5 (Final) 10.2.x to 10.2.8 (Final), 10.3.x to 10.3.9 (Final), and 10.4.x to 10.4.8 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Jaguar and Panther, are no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
If you know what to look for, Jaguar Full Retail CDs, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, FastMac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Jaguar and Panther are only on CDs, not DVDs.
The discs should look like the images in the above links, unless purchased from AppleRescue.
Additional info in these links.

What's A Computer Specific Mac OS X Release
Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
Before upgrading to any OS X version, check to see if your Mac needs a Firmware Update.
If one is required, you must start the computer from a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 System Folder on the computer's hard disk, not from a CD, in order to install it.
Once Jaguar 10.2.x is installed, you can use the 10.2.8 Combo Update,
or if Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version of either OS.
If your Mac meets the System Requirements for Tiger, you could also consider installing that.
And then use the PPC 10.4.8 Combo Update, or the Intel 10.4.8 Combo Update.
Jaguar System Requirements
-Power Mac G3 or G4, iMac, eMac, PowerBook G3 or G4, or iBook computer
-128MB of physical RAM
-Supports all video cards shipped by Apple on Mac OS X-compatible systems. Quartz Extreme functionality is supported by the following video cards: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX, GeForce3, GeForce4 MX, or GeForce4 Ti; Any AGP-based ATI RADEON card. A minimum of 16MB VRAM is required.
-QuickTime Pro functionality requires a QuickTime 6 Pro key. The QuickTime 5 Pro key will not work after this software is installed.
-DVD Player requires a DVD-ROM equipped Macintosh with built-in FireWire.
Panther System Requirements
Additional Panther System Requirements

I need internet explorer for mac, what should I do?

I need internet explorer for mac, what should I do?

There is no Internet Explorer for the Mac, only for Windows.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
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.
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 Fusionand 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. 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.

I need the internet explorer for my mini mac, is there any compatible to install?

There is a program at work that i need to use the internet explorer to access, but the mini mac is not compatible. Is there a way to intall a compatible Internet explorer into a Mini Mac

There are two possibilities here:
1) The program needs windows AND it needs internet explorer in order to interface with the pieces of windows that it needs. Normally a browser forms a application environment which stuff runs inside, and well-behaved applications will run pretty much in any browser on any operating system. But microsoft has other things that they have put into Internet Explorer that allow you to go THROUGH the browser and into the windows operating system below it.
2) The program has only been tested in Internet Explorer on Windows, and so that's all anyone will vouch for, but it will run just fine in other browsers and other operating systems.
If it is situation #1, then the only way to run the application is to run windows AND IE. This can be done on another computer running windows, by creating a BootCamp partition and buying and installing windows on it, or by buying and installing vmware or parallels and buying and installing a windows virtual machine on it.
If it is situation #2, what is necessary is experimentation. Try to load the application url in various and sundry browsers and various and sundry versions of those browsers on your mac. If you find a configuration that works, you can then lord it over the ignorant people who told you that it requires I.E.
Just a note if it DOES really require windows and I.E., which is that it may require some particular version or versions of windows and/or I.E. In our case, the Crystal Reports ActiveX Viewer will not load in windows 7 if running in a non-Administrator account. And our bank's online banking software won't run on I.E. 9 or 10. (I've got to watch windows update like a hawk to untick the I.E. 9 update.)

I need internet explorer 5.5 or greater in order to use an online course. I can see that there isn't a mac explorer update but is there another way? I tried the wine bottler app and it didn't work for me.

Buy and install Windows.
Then you have IE
Of course you can always do as I do when some idiot, usually with the government, tell me I need to IE. I say no. After saying no enough times they mail me a form.
I don't believe in Microsoft.

Flash not working with Internet Explorer or Firefox - is OK with Google Chrome - What gives?

The title is my question. When accessing Youtube with either Internet explorer or Firefox and attempting to watch videos I have viewed before from both browsers, I get messages that I need to install the latest version of Flash player. After multiple re-installs of both Flash and the browser software as well, the problem still exists. The only browser that I can use is Google chrome, and I prefer not to. What can I do?

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Do you have Windows or MAC ?
Which version of IE and Firefox are you using ?
Do you see Flash bouncing logo here : http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Check whether Shockwave Flash Object is enabled or not ? (For IE : Tools -> Manage Add-ons & For Firefox : Tools -> Add-ons)
Note : Open the above URL on IE or Firefox
Thanks,
Vikram

I need Internet Explorer for my MBP. How can I get this?

I need Internet Explorer for my MBP. How can I get this?

You can't — at least not if you want to run it in the Mac OS. If you have Winidows installed on your Mac, then of course you can run the Windows version of IE, but the Mac version hasn't been updated since June 2003 and is unsupported by Microsoft. It's very insecure, it can't handle a lot of current web sites, and it may not run at all in recent OS X versions. It was lousy in 2003, and it can't have gotten any better while the world was passing it by.
If there's a web site you want to access that says it requires IE, complain to its webmaster about the benighted design of the site. No responsible web designer codes sites for just one browser any more. Every web site should be tested and should work well with a large variety of browsers — IE, Firefox and Chrome at a bare minimum — and every site owner should insist that their designer(s) adhere to that "best practice."

Internet Explorer and FireFox do not support Go To A Page View links

Internet Explorer and FireFox do not support Go To A Page View links between PDFs created with Acrobat 8 Professional. Safari does support the links. Similar problem on both PC and Mac.
Two possible errors occur: (1) the error message “page not found”; or (2) nothing at all happens – the reader does not leave the page.
Do you have any suggestions?

Check the target field in the Firefox desktop shortcut and make sure that you do not start Firefox with the -no-remote switch or have set the environment variable MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 (Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment variables).
Always make sure to start at least the default profile without the -no-remote command line switch.
If you need to have more than one profile open at the same time then start subsequent instances with the -no-remote command line switch.
You can not send links from other programs to a Firefox instance that is started with the -no-remote switch.
In such a case you need to drag links in a Firefox window or paste the link in the location bar.

Trying to install adobe flash player onto mac using internet explorer 5.2 for mac.

Trying to install adobe flash player onto mac using internet explorer 5.2 for mac. But the page that I need keeps telling me that Adobe Flash Player still needs to be installed. I've downloaded AFP several times, and I see it installed correctly on my mac, but the same error message keeps coming up. All of the support that I see is either for mac or for Internet Explorer, but not for both and not for the version of Internet Explorer that I am using. Please help. Thank you.

Wow, IE for Mac is pretty old. What Mac OS are you using? I'm 99% sure you're going to need an older version of the Player, but I'll need to know the OS version to figure out which one.

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.

I need internet explorer seven for my macbook. What do I do?

There is no IE for a Mac. MS hasn't had IE for the Mac for years. To us IE7 or later you would have to run Windows on your Mac:

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.

6. Last is Q. Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs. It is much slower than the virtualization software, 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 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.

Below is how it is being done. This worked perfectly for years. MS Office 2007 does complain that the file extension does not match the data format (it's a tab delimited text file but I'm pretending it's an Excel file so they'll be prompted to view it as a spreadsheet in Excel) but you just click open and it works fine. This issue with IE is new. Let me know if you have any more ideas.

ok   here's more mystery. i just uninstalled and reinstalled flash player using the adobe uninstaller and rebooting after each step. aqlso installed latest java. i started looking at videos and here are the ones that worked: you tube
                                                                                       imdb

                                                                                       ebaumsworld
                                  here are the ones that didn't work:    yahoo
                                                                                       msn

                                here are the ones that partially worked: the blaze (works on videos that originate from you tube, but not from news stories)
                                                                                          bing (work on videos from their video section - entertainment type, but not from news videos)
the common thing here seems to be that news type videos crash and entertainment type don't. also videos seem more likely to crash on internet portals like yahoo
