Thank you for posting this!! It works to run IE beautifully. I am now successfully running IE to perform a single (crappy) job function.

This is achieved by using the freely available VirtualBox software from Oracle, and combining that with free Internet Explorer testing virtual machines from Notes: the admin password for all of the IE VMs is “Password1″ without the quotes. This has been tested and confirmed to work with Mac OS X 10.7.

(And didn't have to download anything, purchase anything, or waste any more time trying to figure this out. Thank you, CT! In Safari (ver 9.1) > Select 'Preferences' from drop down menu > Click on 'Advanced' tab > Check box 'Show Develop menu in menu bar' > Now you'll see 'Develop' in the Main Menu bar > Select whatever version of IE (or other browsers)!

Once upon a time, the Mac and the Internet did not always get along. Long before Safari showed up, Netscape and Internet Explorer were busy waging a war to define the future of browsing — a future that didn't often include the Mac. Most of the time, Mac users were stuck using browsers one or two versions behind their Windows counterparts, with no access to popular plug-ins essential to browsing various parts of the Web. It was a dark day for the rebellion. Thankfully, that age is over and gone: The Web is largely bedrocked on HTML and CSS now, with only the occasional need for a plugin — and all the major ones are Mac-compatible. That said, there are still a few websites stuck in the dark ages for one reason or another, requiring Internet Explorer (which has been since discontinued for the Mac) or a Windows PC.

When a call concludes, recorded content is made available in all users' chat timelines for 30 days. Participants can save the recording to local storage, including mobile devices where the clip will download as an MP4 file, or forward it to other Skype users. The latter feature could prove useful when collaborating with colleagues. Skype version 8 for mac mac.

While this sounds like a ridiculous case of webmaster insanity, I've seen this happen with quite a few job, healthcare, and government-related websites — built by organizations that don't trust (or have time to learn about) other systems. But you can get around most of these arbitrary restrictions with my favorite hidden menu in Safari: Develop > User Agent. How to access websites that require a PC or Internet Explorer • Launch Safari. • Click Safari in the menu bar at the top of your screen.

• Click Preferences. • Click on the Advanced tab. • Check the 'Show Develop menu in menu bar' setting, then close the Preferences window. The Develop menu should now show in your menu bar. • Go to Develop > User Agent. • If you need to pretend you're using Internet Explorer, choose one of the Internet Explorer options. • If you need to pretend you're using a PC, choose 'Google Chrome — Windows' or 'Firefox — Windows'.

Note: If your browser options are grayed out, you may still have the Preferences screen open — close it first! Doing so should get you through the website's detection-checker. Of course, the page may still be using ancient codecs or plugins not supported by Safari — in which case, you might have to look into. Still having trouble? Let us know below.
