The MonsterCommerce development team is working towards complete Macintosh compatibility with a variety of browsers and platforms. In the meantime, we have identified the areas of the administration panel that do not currently work with Macintosh systems and possible workarounds for each.

Please Note: Since Microsoft will no longer update Internet Explorer for Macintosh systems, the MC development team will focus their efforts on Safari compatibility. Internet Explorer 5.2 for the Mac will no longer work with the MonsterCommerce shopping cart software.
The built-in WYSIWYG tool will not work on a Macintosh. The WYSIWYG editor was only designed for the PC. Our developers are working on other options for future release and one of the requirements is that it be more cross-platform compliant.
Suggested workaround: Use a desktop WYSIWYG and copy/paste into the HTML window or edit the HTML directly.

The majority of the File Manager's functionality will work with a Macintosh. You can upload files, upload images, create thumbnails of images as you upload them, rename files, create directories, delete files, delete directories, etc. The only feature that is not compatible with a Macintosh is the ability to Upload Multiple Files.
Currently, there is no workaround for this feature.
