Sites that stream on Internet Explorer only
I am finding more and more video / audio streaming sites will only work on IE and Windows. Trying to connect with Firefox or Safari produces a pop-up that says only IE on Windows is supported, probing further and the site usually cites Rights Management issues.
These sites are legal and either free or on (paid for) subscription, does anyone know of a solution that does not involve installing Windows via bootcamp?
If this has been discussed before a link would be usefull.
There is a way to run XWindows based IE 6 and IE 7 from:
http://www.kronenberg.org/ies4osx/
CrossOver may also offer a way without installing Windows to run the correct version of Internet Explroer.
Regardless for all these sites, they need to be informed about MPEG-4 video as a more open source for video that all platforms can use. If they are interested in reaching the widest audience possible, they need to consider this. Furthermore, Microsoft has a program called Silverlight that allows some previous PC only video of Netflix to display on a Mac.

How can I open Internet explorer 'only' pages on a mac, without creating a drive partition and installing windows separately?
I've tried winbottler, but it doesn't seem to serve my purpose. The web site that I'm trying to access only permits Internet explorer.Microsoft has not written IE for Mac for years so unless you want to create a parition and install Windows, or user a Windows emulator, you're out of luck for installing IE on a Mac.
The web site that I'm trying to access
There might be a work around for you since it's just the one site.
Go to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Enable the Develop menu.
Now click Develop from the Safari menu bar then click User Agent > IE 9, 8, or 7 -
I need an iPad app web browser that will emulate internet explorer as my MLS real estate system uses only internet explorer. Why does Atomic no longer sell the full verison. What web browser can I use?
Probably none. It's very possible that the reason the MLS required Internet Explorer is that they use technologies (such as Active-X) that are proprietary to Microsoft and so would not be available from the iPad even if a browser will report itself as being Internet Explorer.
You can try iCab Mobile, though, and see if it will work for you:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/icab-mobile-web-browser/id308111628?mt=8
It has the ability to identify itself as other browsers, so if the site is only blocking other browsers and not depending on IE's technology, iCab might work. There could be problems, though, even if the site lets you in.
Hope this helps. -
I don't use Internet Explorer only Firefox why am I seeing things about Internet Explorer ???
I deleted Internet Explorer from my programs due to only using Firefox and Aol for my mail and email address but I am still seeing things that pertain to Internet explorer like my mail box shows outlook express when it should be and show aol. And I have 2 adobe players showing on my add-ons one is adobe player 11 active-x and adobe player 11 plugin, should I have both ???
A version of IE is included with Windows, and although you can make it hard to find, you can't actually remove it completely, or much of Windows would stop working correctly. I suggest not trying to root it out completely.
You might not need the ActiveX version of Flash if you do not use IE. But consider this: Some third party programs display HTML content (e.g., help and tutorials) using the hidden components of IE, and if those programs want to display Flash media, they will need the ActiveX version of Flash. So as long as it keeps itself up-to-date, I don't think there is much harm in keeping it around.
As for your mail program, the free mail program included with Windows XP was Outlook Express. It can retrieve mail from a wide variety of service providers and is pretty widely understood and supported. I'm not sure you want to lock yourself in to one particular provider's email program that might be harder to migrate to your next computer... -
Cannot find procedure for instructions that apply to Internet Explorer
I've been having problems viewing pages (especially wordpress in admin mode) as well as downloading pdf documents that show actual screen.
One issue is with British Gas, who sent me the following instruction that applies to Internet Explorer, which I tried to adapt to Firefox. However, I can't find a menu that would have similar functions.
These are the IE instructions:
- Click on Tools on toolbar in your internet browser window
- Select Internet Options
- Click on Advanced
- Scroll down to security heading
- Uncheck box titled Do not save encrypted pages to disk
- Click on Apply
- Click on OK
Thank you for your feedback.A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

IWeb 08 site not viewable using Internet Explorer
I have had feedback from friends using Internet Explorer saying that when they try to view my site their browser freezes and can't open the page. It works fine when using Safari.
I have seen a number of posts regarding this issue and am wondering if there is a straightforward fix, or whether we will have to wait for Apple on this one?
Has anyone been able to test an iWeb 08 created site using IE?
Thanks,
M&CCan you be more specific and tell us what version of IE, I am assuming they are on Windows too. My assumption is that the most current version will work fine—have not tested it in full—but pervious version of IE have not played well with web standards. Currently, all of my content from iWeb06 works fine with IE (going on assumption because I have only tested it a few times on IE, I think it was version 6 or 7). I have not created anything new with iWeb08, so I have not had a chance to test it.
Best fix: Tell your friends to use FireFox. -
Viewing live streams in Internet Explorer
I'm using Quicktime Broadcaster to generate a live .sdp feed and play through Streaming Server. I've tried embedding HTML code on a web site to view the feed (using the QT plugin rather than the player) and I can view the feeds ok on a Mac in Safari but all I get in IE8 is the QT logo
Any help?Hi...
I wanna know if you did it. I'm a studant and I have some interests to learn how can I show a streaming video through internet.
A couple weeks ago I did two applications make message exchanges by sockets.. I think is something like this. But I wanna know how to get de webcam image and transform it in a stream of bytes to send it to another application.. so the socket server must pass that bytes to the applet in Internet Explorer... I think so... xD

I used to use a different...server?...Internet Explorer. Before, when I used that, I could watch video's on youtube and they would run smoothly-image and sound in perfect sync. Now that I'm using Firefox per suggestion of a computer savvy friend, I can't watch youtube vid's in the same way. Most of the time, the audio will keep playing, but the image will stop. The only way I've discovered to prevent this is to be playing with the mouse on the side of the screen constantly. (which, when playing music video's for background while cooking dinner in the kitchen, it's rather impractical to be running back and forth to be playing with the mouse)
I'm not a very computer savvy person. I'm using a laptop...it's an Acer...I think I have either Windows Vista or Windows 7...Thank you very much.
I scanned my computer and see that it is not a virus problem. The problem lies with FoxNews.com not being compatible with the latest Flash Player or plug-in. I can view on-site videos from within Firefox on all sites except FoxNews. It is the only site that has a huge separating space in the middle of the front page. and that displays a large area of code words where it should have an ad: "clicksor_default_url = '';clicksor_banner_border = '#99CC33'; clicksor_banner_ad_bg = '#FFFFFF';clicksor_banner_link_color = "
I ran the super bug-killer "ComboFix" (thinking the code was from the "Clicksor" virus) and was relieved to discover that it wasn't a virus.
I can easily view videos on FoxNews from within Internet Explorer (and there is no "clicksor" code displayed in IE either). The problem lies somewhere within the Firefox version of Adobe's Flash Player /plug-in or FoxNews' incompatible code. Users are being kept up-to-date with the latest Adobe updates, but FoxNews must be using old software and needs to catch up. There must be a lot of people having this problem. -
How can I process an xml/xsl file pair that require the Internet Explorer dom?
My personal navigation device (GPS) generates xml files that contain a record of where I have been, together with when I was there, how fast I was driving at the time, etc. taken at approx. 5 second intervals. This xml file has an xml-stylesheet with type="text/xsl" but that stylesheet is written to the Internet Explorer dom standard. The stylesheet interfaces with google maps to display a map that shows my path and it also displays tables of data including distances that are computed from latitude/longitude pairs. I can supply a small sample xml file and the xsl file as well if they are needed to diagnose my problem. I cannot find any browser other than Internet Explorer that handles these files satisfactorily. I prefer to process them from a Linux environment but with the Internet Explorer requirement I cannot do so. The browsers that I have tried and that have failed are Firefox, Opera, Konqueror, Chrome, Epiphany, Midori, Arora, and Links.
One line in the xls file in particular gives grief in the browsers like Firefox that at least attempt to do more than display the raw xml file:
xmlns:cymath="urn:smiletime-cybarber-net:math"
A comment in the xls file says this about the problem:
"Tested and currently only compatible with Internet Explorer version 6 or version 7 (as this script includes JScript functions called by XSL, msxsl:script extension is required; also, the produced XHTML document embeds javascript functions exploiting the IE DOM).
"In order to provide compatibility with Firefox, other than checking the compatibility of the IE DOM, the cymath:distCosineLaw function still needs to be ported."You may get an answer, but it is not really the sort of subject covered by this forum, I suggest you try [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=49 Mozilazine] and if you solve the problem post back again.

I have firefox 7.01. and every time i try to log on to my work site via the web and client server, firefox crashes and leaves not log.
Internet explore works without issue.
How do I stop the system from crashing - i didnt have a problem in earlier versions of firefox.This is a chronic problem. Not related to time of day. It is a permanent block on my ability to log into my Yahoo mail from the Firefox web browser on one computer ONLY. I can log in from other computers. This seems to have nothing to do with add-ons or extensions. Upgrading from Firefox 3.6 to 4.0 had no effect and this also does not effect any other web browser on the same computer.
Again, every time on try to log into my Yahoo mail using Firefox on my main desk time I get a "404 Not Found" error.
Please give me a serious answer. -
Windows 8 Internet explorer only- an error occured
I am using windows 8. NOT 8.1. I have tested flash player in firefox and chrome. They both work fine. The only browser with a problem is, of course, microsoft's internet explorer. I have the latest version of everything. I have tried uninstalls and reinstalls. I have checked to make sure activex filtering is off and that the flash player add-ons are enabled. Please, if you have any thoughts, let me know.
Windows 8 is far from the best thing Microstuff ever released. I can't stand it myself. (Being a Mac user makes me appreciate it even less)
8.1 is worse. Be glad you don't have it. I did for a while and it was hell. I had to reformat my laptop to get rid of it and I've blocked the update notification with a registry key, so it CAN'T even be offered anymore..
I've never been a fan of Internet Exploder. I used Netscape in 1998. I switched to Opera in 2000, and Mozilla (now Firefox) in 2002. I have IE for testing purposes ONLY amd I would NEVER consider using it as my everyday browser. It's unsafe, full of security holes, slower than molasses in January and it's not even compatible with most 2007 web standards... this is 2014. ANYTHING ELSE would be an imporvement.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE won't, using the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in. -

The connection to login.microsoftonline.com was interrupted.
Check your Internet connection.
Check any cables and reboot any routers, modems, or other network devices you may be using.
Allow Chrome to access the network in your firewall or antivirus settings.
If it is already listed as a program allowed to access the network, try removing it from the list and adding it again.
If you use a proxy server...
Check your proxy settings or contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working. If you don't believe you should be using a proxy server: Go to the Chrome menu > Settings > Show
advanced settings... > Change proxy settings...> LAN Settings and deselect "Use a proxy server for your LAN".
Error code: ERR_CONNECTION_RESET
and my internet explorer doesnt open the sites either, can anyone assist me with this problem please?Hi hein56,
According to your description, the error is encountered when you try to login your SharePoint Online site.
To troubleshoot this issue, please follow these steps for identifying the error code:
View the source code of the login.microsoftonline.com webpage that shows the error message. For example, in Internet Explorer, press the ALT key to display the menu bar (if it isn't already displayed),
and then clickSource on the View menu.
Search the source code for the HR= string, and then note the numeric code that follows the HR= string.
Then you can find more information about how to troubleshoot the issue according to the error code.
Best Regards,

Browser video stream in internet explorer - Windows phone 8.1
I want to create a webpage that can stream a LIVE video broadcast. And I want it to work with Internet explorer in windows phone 8.1.
Is this possible?
I was thinking about using jwplayer but I don't think it works with Windows Phone
any ideas?Hello,
Are you writing an app using the WebView or just creating a web page to be displayed in IE on the phone?
The WebView hosts IE so this answer should work for you either way but... The WebView supports the HTML 5 "video" tag. The platform supports a limited number of streaming formats natively including Microsoft's propriety implementation of RTSP and
RTSP over HTTP. If the video source is being streamed in either of these formats you can simply point the "video" tag at the server and you should be good to go.
If you want to support a different streaming protocol such as HLS or DASH you will need to create or find a 3rd party
Media Source Extensions plug in for the "video" tag that supports the protocol that you are using on the server. If you are severing Microsoft's Smooth Streaming content you may be able to use the
Smooth Streaming Client SDK for Windows Phone 8.1 although I'm not sure if the HTML5 support is available outside of a native HTML5 app.
I hope this helps,
James

AppletViewer won't run an applet that runs in Internet Explorer?? Whats up?
I have an applet that I created. It runs in Internet Explorer perfectly. I mean perfectly, every single time, without a problem.
But, if I try to run appletviewer with this applet, it gives all kinds of exception messages: Ever seen this before?
Thanks!Why not just paste the applet code. I know it is simple, but here it is. I am new to java so you may see some weird code for sure.... It is suppose to countdown to a given date/time... Just something simple to help me learn Java.
If anyone else has time and wants to compile it and try to get it to run as an Active Desktop Item that would be super cool
Thanks!!!!

The steps I used with Internet Explorer for enlarging an uploaded photo for Facebook will not work with Mozilla. My Adobe Flashplayer that I used with Internet Explorer would not work with Mozilla, so I downloaded a plug-in Adobe Flashplayer (10.) What else do I need to do?
