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.
Microsoft has not written IE for Mac for years.
But might be a work around for you.
Launch Safari. Navigate to the site.
From the menu bar click Safari / Preferences - Advanced
At the bottom of that pane click: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now from the Safari menu bar click Develop / User Agent. Try IE 8, 7, or 6.
The next time you quit then relaunch Safari it will default to Safari 5.0.5
If that doesn't work, for sites that do not support Safari, you would need to install a Windows partition on your Mac.
One suggestion is to use BootCamp.. user guide here. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/boot_camp_install-setup.pdf

Part of being a web developer is testing things that will inevitably break in insane and unexpected ways in Internet Explorer. Luckily, you can spin up a free Virtual Machine (VM) and run Internet Explorer in all its Windows XP (or Windows 7) glory using VirtualBox. Currently supported by this article: IE6, IE7, IE8, IE9, IE10, and IE11.
1Visit the VirtualBox downloads page and download and install the latest VirtualBox version 'for OS X hosts'. If you already have VirtualBox installed, make sure it's running the latest version by comparing the version on the VirtualBox downloads page with your installed version's About information. As I found out when I was running 4.3.X, running the 'Check for Updates' menu item in VirtualBox doesn't always detect a new version (5.X as of when I wrote this guide).
You have the option to install all available versions of Internet Explorer at once, or install only specific versions. To install specific versions, you'll need to run each command separately.
Copy and paste the command(s) below into Terminal and press Enter. Don't include the commented (#hash) portion. You'll be prompted for your OS X password.
Troubleshooting If you run into any permissions-related issues, you can run the command using sudo (super user) by prepending each command above with sudo.
If you have any issues running the 'Install all versions' command, check to make sure you have the latest version of VirtualBox and, if you still have issues, try installing each VM separately instead.

If you run into an error similar to VBoxManage: error: Appliance import failed or 'Win7/IE11 - Win7.vbox' already exists, try this solution.
A note on Windows 10 Internet Explorer Edge The 'Install all versions' command will also attempt to install the Internet Explorer Edge version -- this is the absolute latest release of IE. However, installation using this method is unreliable, so if you see an error at the end of the script you can safely ignore it (unless you want the Edge browser, of course). If you really want the Edge version, you'll need to do a bit of troubleshooting of your own.
Open VirtualBox by navigating to Applications > VirtualBox.app. Then, select the VM containing the version of Internet Explorer that you'd like to launch, and click Start. The Virtual Machine will now spin up! All hail the nostalgic Windows XP startup sound.
5If you do local development (like a local MAMP/WAMP server) or you need to route traffic through a VPN, you'll need to edit each VM's hosts file (inside of Windows) and modify the values there to match your local OS X hosts file configuration.
6The Windows images you're using inside of the VM are completely legal and free -- however, their licenses expire every 30 days and must be refreshed by loading an older 'snapshot' of the VM. I recommend you create a snapshot of each VM right now (or maybe after you've configured your hosts files for local development). When your license for each VM expires in 30 days, you can simply restore your VM to this snapshot, effectively resetting your 30-day license to day 1.
7Open VirtualBox, select the VM you'd like to refresh, and click the Snapshots tab. Then, click the 'Take Snapshot' icon. Then, select the 'original' snapshot (should be named 'Clean', and click the 'Restore Snapshot' icon. This will preserve the snapshot you just took, and switch you back to the original one so that you can use your new snapshot (which I've named 'Day 1' after your license expires.
8Open VirtualBox, select the VM you'd like to restore to, and click the Snapshots tab. Then, click the 'Restore Snapshot' icon. You've just turned back your license clock! You're basically a time traveller. Good work.
Java plug in 1.7.0 download. Downloaded and installed Java 1.8 • Ran the terminal code 'java -version' // this will check your jre version. The Java version listed in the Java control panel said 1.8 • Tried multiple downloads of eclipse and Java and multiple restarts always with the same result. • Installed Java 1.6 • Was unable to install Eclipse and was prompted that I needed Java 1.7 or greater. • Visited the Oracle web page noted above: I could not find the above reference to 8u73 and 8u74 but I did find and option to download 1.8.0_12. This showed returned Java 1.6 despite the fact that I had upgraded to 1.8.
