iCloud Web App Plugin for Internet Explorer

When you use Internet Explorer 9 to access iCloud.com, you might need to install the iCloud Web App Plugin:

This website wants to install the following add-on: iCloud Web App Plugin from Apple, Inc"

If you don't install the plug-in, you can still use iCloud.com without these features:

  • Add or edit a contact photo
  • Add or edit your account's photo
  • Drag and drop to add attachments when you write an email
  • Drag and drop to add attachments when you create a calendar event
  • Drag and drop to upload documents to the iWork for iCloud apps
  • Add images to your documents in iWork for iCloud

If you upgrade to the latest version of Internet Explorer, you don't need to install the plugin. Internet Explorer 9 doesn't support dragging more than one attachment at the same time (only one file is uploaded). Add attachments one at a time to email or a calendar event, or when you upload to iCloud.com.

You can drag these file types to the Pages app on iCloud.com:  

  • Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx)
  • Text (.txt) files

You can drag these file types to the Numbers app on iCloud.com

  • Numbers
  • Microsoft Excel (.xls or .xlsx)
  • CSV (.csv) files
  • Text (.txt) files

You can drag these file types to the Keynote app on iCloud.com

  • Keynote
  • Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt or .pptx)
