Replying to Internet Explorer For Mac Problems

you know, i didn't know that it was avalible on mac

It was Mac's default Internet Browser until Apple decided to make their own - Safari

Microsoft stopped supporting their IE browser on mac in 2005... for best IE performance and usage on Mac i suggest running Windows on VM... maybe virtualbox

Hello, Lapis,
im afraid i dont think you can get ie on a mac with out parels or wm fusion , but if so, i recomend using Wine, (winehq.org ???) but if you are going to be using any type of virtual mech or thats know that it's always gonna lag,
if ms did make ie for mac well, idk , mayby its just a bad broswer that what i think

If that doesn't work, I know all browsers on the mac store their bookmarks in a plist file in the library in your home folder. I'm not quite sure where at the moment but I'll see if I can find it

Hi jlhaslip and Arbitrary,

Thanks for the suggestions. They certainly seem worth trying.

Many thanks to both of you for taking the time to think about it.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Firefox's Bookmark manager will 'export' your list of bookmarks to an html (I think) file in order to save the current list of Bookmarks. And it will also 'import' them back from the same file format.

Would this feature solve the problem you are facing?

Ah, something similar happened to me, except that I was using Firefox, not IE (and that I was on windows). Aren't bookmarks usually stored in some sort of folder for bookmarks? If you can somehow find and copy that file (you won't need to open IE to do that), then your bookmarks wil be saved. At least that's what I did to save my info. Mine was in a folder called 'Favorites' (kinda obvious)

And you should definitely consider switching to a different browser after that. Either Firefox or Opera...both are quite nice. @unimatrix, I think Opera is the fastest on any OS...

Good luck. :-)

Hi unimatrix,

Thanks for the info, it is much appreciated.

Would you happen to know how I can overcome the IE problems that I am currently having and how I can save/restore the IE bookmarks that are on there right now? First I have to get into IE when it seems stuck on downloading the MSN page (which I have never bookmarked!) whenever I open it.

Any suggestions would be very welcome,

Thanks.
