Internet Explorer for MAC OSX Yosemite

Good morning. I need to download Internet Explorer to my MAC OS X Yosemite. This is required by some governmental pages in Peru. I have tried and it does´t work. Can you help me? Tks!

Support for Internet Explorer has been discontinued for Mac several years ago. If you do an Internet search you should still find places from which you can download it.


Ciao.

You may be able to get by with Safari. In Preferences>Advanced, check the last line for Show Develop menu in menu bar. Then, the second line in the Develop menu is User Agent and from that you can choose Internet Explorer 10. While you'd still be using Safari, it would tell the website that it's really Explorer, and that might be enough.


If some features of Explorer, such as Active X, are really necessary, the easiest solution would be to create a Windows Virtual Machine, using software such as VMware Fusion, Parallels or Virtual Box. That will have Explorer built in.

MS ceased devleopment of IE for Mac over 10 years ago.

if you must run IE in Yosemite I suggest using bootcamp or some other virtualized Windows session though VMWare or Parallels. If running a Windows OS environment is not possible try Wine which is free or look into CrossOver for Mac which may allow you to run IE or MS Edge (IE's successor) without the need of having Windows installed.

If your computer was manufacturer before the development of OS X Jaguar then installing an OS prior to the manufacture date of your model Mac is not a viable option on an Apple Computer.
