It’s quite interesting that we have talked so much on the improved browser support in SharePoint 2010. But if you are a Mac user, you can rarely see a comprehensive list of what you can do and what you cannot with clear explanation.
Graphics, as well as other miscellaneous issues. (See below for more details.) This update does not address identified issues running Adobe InDesign CS4 on Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5.1-v10.5.5). Known issues include the following: • Users are unable to hide InDesign CS4.
If you search on the internet, you can find has a very good video here:. He went through nearly all the features with Office for Mac 2008. If you are a Mac user/admin and need to use SharePoint, it’s worth watching.
Virtualization would be another way to get around of the limitations. The official documentation for browser support is here:. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, you can find the limitations for Safari and Firefox on a non-Windows system (most of the time that means Mac). However, some of the information there may not be accurateor just confusing. So I will try to make it clear in this post Here’re some questions I collected during the past months, and the answers to them are based on my experience, not official support statement: Can Mac users use SharePoint 2010?
Of course yes. Both Safari and Firefox are supported browsers of SharePoint 2010 because of the introduce of XHTML 1.0 in the product. The limitations can be found in.

Central Admin web site can be accessed by Safari and Firefox without any problem. If you do have issues with OOTB Central Admin site, please check settings on your Mac and network – something is wrong there, not SharePoint. There’s no ActiveX controls to block you from doing any admin tasks.
Of course, there’s no Windows PowerShell on a Mac so you cannot do the Windows PowerShell Remoting tasks, but that cannot stop you from using Remote Desktop for Mac to connect to those SharePoint Servers. Can I directly open Office file from SharePoint and save it back? Yes, although you will not have Read Only/Edit option to choose from before you open it in Office for Mac. The file will be opened as Read Only by default, and you can modify the file by click Edit. Then you can also save it back to the original location. Can I upload file to SharePoint using Mac?

File upload does not require an ActiveX control. What you cannot achieve is to use the Upload Multiple Documents options, see below. Can I upload multiple files to SharePoint using Mac? On the browser, no.
