It seems to be reported by many people, that the header image of our themes, do not load on Internet Explorer in the Mac platform.
I found out that the solution to that is, removing the single quote from the url attribute of the background property in the style.css file.
In the style.css file, look for
#header { background:url(‘img/header.jpg’); }
and make it
#header { background:url(img/header.jpg); }
This will solve the problem.
