Need internet explorer

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:
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.
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 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 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."

    Acrobat 8 needs IE 6.0 not 4.0
    1) Try installing using MSI file instead of setup.exe.
    2) Enable MSI logging and provide the MSI log. Steps to enable MSI logging can be found here http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/223300

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • My system needs internet explorer for a application I need to down load, however I need to down load the latest yahoo tool bar for internet explorer to work properly and firefox will not allow the down load of yahoo toolbar. How do I fix this?

    I have not used Internet explorer since downloading firefox and I need IE for a trading platform that I need to use. In order to get IE working I apparently need to down load the latest version of Yahoo toolbar, however when I try to down load the tool bar Firefox will not allow the down load of that file.

    Thank you so much, for once in my computer life I knew what the problem was, what caused it, why it was caused, what it did, what it made it do and most importantly how to fix it and to do it correctly and expeditiously. I can not Thank You all enough for all of the help! I also have Pogo mailed this to all on my friends list, where they have all learned as I have and have fixed theirs also. and the message is being spread. Thank You again, I just can not say it enough.

  • I need Internet Explorer version 6 or higher

    My jobs site requires it, I've already tried:
    Opera 9.26
    Internet Explorer 5.2
    FireFox 2.0.0.2
    Safari 3.0.4
    and it wont work on any of those, what can I do?

    MattWillis:
    There is no Mac version of Internet Explorer 6.0.
    What IE has a verison that works with a PC/Windows.
    If it must be Internet Explorer and that it must be 6.0 or higher then you need to run windows either via boot camp on an intel based Mac or a PC.
    I am surprised that Firefox couldn't do the job. Do you have all the necessary plugins installed with firefox which may have allowed you to run the script that your work requires?

  • I need internet explorer for mavericks

    is it possible to install internet explorer on mac book air (mavericks)

    It is, but you'd need to either install Windows first, using BootCamp or as a virtual machine using VMware Fusion, Parallels or Virtual Box or use CrossOver, which creates a Windows environment in which some Windows programs can run.

  • NEED INTERNET EXPLORER FIX FOR IWEB!!

    Hi everyone,
    I need some help. I know this post has come up many many times in the past and there is a lot of sites that have attempted to tackle this issue but I haven't found the solution and I need help!
    Basically, as much as I love Safari and all Mac applications, the site I've created is targeting a less tech savy demographic, which unfornuately is comprised of more internet explorer users.
    What I did:
    - My site is all flash based. I created the flash file through Adobe Flash Catalyst and uploaded the file to my web hosting via an FTP.
    - I used iWeb and used the HTML Snippet option and embed the code in it to access the flash file and make it run.
    - The site functions great on every browser EXCEPT Internet Explorer.
    I've heard that many people have used Dreamweaver to update the code to make it function, but the newer versions of Adobe Products are very confusing and cannot be bothered, unless there is a straight forward fix.
    Does anyone know of a tutorial guide or the code to make the site function on Internet Explorer?!?!?!?!
    If you would like to view my site and give me some feedback it is: www.uidesign.ca
    Thanks!
    - Art

    I solved my own problem and using Dreamweaver and creating just a basic html with embedded snippets that did the same think.

  • Some sites needs Internet Explorer and doesnt open in Safari!!!

    Hello,
    There are couple of sites that doesnt open in Safari and the messege I get is : The TIBCO General Interface product requires Microsoft Internet Explorer v. 6.0 or greater.
    The website is http://www.dsm.com.qa/dsmsite/ And then click on Love Quotes.
    Please help me with it.
    Thank you!!!

    Hi,
    As Tom says, the website is geared towards Windows Internet Explorer users only.
    The only 2 options you have are to:
    1. Send them feedback about the problem to http://www2.dsm.com.qa/dsm/DSM_ContactUs and hope they eventually increase their compatibility with other systems.
    2. Run VirtualPC so that you are effectively running Windows on your Mac (or simply buy a cheap PC).
    Sorry it's not better news.

  • 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.

  • I use Firefox and a website that I visited showed I need internet explorer to view. Will I lose my firefox if I download Internet Explorer?

    If I install Internet Explorer, will it in anyway mess up my Firefox? I want to continued using Firefox rather than Internet Explorer.

    Try the IETab2 extension. <br />
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ie-tab-2-ff-36/
    Unless you are in the EU, you should have a version of Internet Explorer already installed. Have you looked in the Start > Programs or All Programs menu?
    Installing or upgrading IE shouldn't have any effect on your Firefox installation, except possibly the "Default Browser" setting in Win7 which is easily changed.

  • Do I need Internet Explorer security updates if I use Firefox?

    Hello!
    I cannot find an answer to this question through a Google search so I'm asking it here please. I'm using Windows 7 and see lots of regular updates for Internet Explorer being installed. But I never use Internet Explorer, I only use Firefox. So I wanted to know, will I be putting my Firefox security at risk by not installing Internet Explorer updates released through Windows Upate? Does a flaw in one browser affect another?
    Thank you!
    Alice.

    Thank you for your quick reply jscher2000. Your advice makes sense, I'll keep updates for Internet Explorer going. It was just something I was curious about. For example, if someone used both Firefox and Chrome, would a flaw in one affect another? And whilst Googling earlier for an answer for my question before posting (didn't want to waste anyone's time with a repetitive question), I noticed some people have completely uninstalled Internet Explorer, so presumably they won't even be offered any IE updates.
    Thanks again!
    Alice.
