How do I install a CAC card reader onto my macbook air using Maverick OSX ?

I have followed all instructions on militarycac.com but the certificates will not install into the keychain. Thoughts?

I'm not sure I remember installing any certificates. Which step and what page?
Is this what you were doing? http://www.centrify.com/downloads/products/documentation/mac-smart-smartcard/1.0 .0/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm#href=SCE_DownloadCert.html
If so, what happened?

How to install a smart card reader.

I am trying to install a smart card reader for work. There are no prompts when connecting via USB or anything else.

There shouldn't be a prompt when you connect an empty card reader. Insert a memory card into it and it should appear on the Desktop.

CAC Card Reader not working on 1 of 2 computers

I have an iMac 20-inch early 2009 and a MacBook Pro early 2011. I have installed OSX 10.8.5 on both. I followed the instructions to the letter from http://militarycac.com/ on both computers. I am able to use my SCR331 reader successfully on my MacBook Pro but am not able to use it on my iMac.
On the iMac:
I am able to see the SCR331 is conencted and recognized via System Information. The SCR331 version is 5.25 (updated firmward as suggested at ttp://militarycac.com/)
I attempted to install Centrify (which did not work) so I chose CaCKey instead, which installed just fine
When I plug the reader in, the light lights up steady. When I insert my CAC it does not blink like it should. The CAC certificates do not show up in Keychain either.
When I unplug the reader from my iMac and plug it into my MacBook Pro, it works just fine... I'm missing something somewhere........
Any help wold be greatly apprecitated! Thank you!

I forgot to add:
On my previous version of OSX (unfortunately I can't remember which I upgraded from) I was able to use my CAC Card reader on my iMac. So, after upgrading to 10.8.5 I was no longer able to use it with the OSX native software. I wonder if some of the settings I had to tweak (when using the old OSX) are affecting this problem now...
I had never tried using my reader on my MBP previously.

CAC card reader now works in Mac OS....

I finally got my CAC card reader to work in MAC OS. I used the scr3310 reader and MAC OS driver.
Now I need to find a Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) that can use the CAC reader. I have tried both 1.0.3 and 2.0.1 with no success.
Has anyone successfully used a RDC in MAC OS?
Thx !!

The MS RDP does not yet implement SmartCard enabling (which really ***** as the MS product seems pretty well done otherwise). I got CAC (via VPN) working using RDESKTOP via the installation procedures posted by TRON in August, 2008 under the topic heading "MS Remote Desktop and smart card reader". TRON's procedure makes the appropriate modification to the CONFIGURE file during the build and uses the OpenSource (SourceForge) implementation of RDESKTOP <rdesktop.sourceforge.net>, aka, <www.rdesktop.org>.
Here is a recap of TRON's procedure:
=====================================================
CARD READER ACTIVATION
1.) Plug in your card reader
2.) Open Terminal and run this command:
sudo pcsctool
3.) When prompted, enter your admin password. You should see:
Select the approprate token driver:
1. commonAccessCard.bundle
2. GSCISPlugin.bundle
3. mscMuscleCard.bundle
4. slbCryptoflex.bundle
Enter the number:
4.) Type "1" (without quotes) and press enter, and you should see something like:
Insert your token in: OmniKey CardMan 3121 00 00
Token support updated successfully !
5.) Keep your card reader plugged in and use rdesktop install instructions
RDESKTOP INSTALL
1. Make sure Xcode Tools is installed on your computer. It should be on your OS X install disk.
2. Find out where your X11 libraries are located:
-From the Finder menu, selct "Go" >> "Go to Folder..."
-Type (without the quotes) "/usr/X11", and click "Go"
You should see a bunch of folders. Make sure the "include" and "lib" folders are there. Otherwise you need to find out where the X11 "include" and "lib" folders are located on your computer.
3. Download rdesktop and place the (unarchived) rdesktop-1.6.0 folder on your Desktop
4. Open the X11 application (should be in your Utilities folder)
5. In the X11 window type the following (without the quotes):
"cd Desktop/rdesktop-1.6.0 && ./configure --enable-smartcard -x-includes=/usr/X11/include -x-libraries=/usr/X11/lib && make && sudo make install"
4. Hit enter. When prompted, enter your administrator password and hit enter.
rdesktop should now be installed in the following folder:
/usr/local/bin
So, to launch rdesktop with smartcard log in enabled, open the X11 application (or Terminal application) and type the following (without the quotes, and replace your.server.address with the server address):
"cd /usr/local/bin && ./rdesktop -r scard your.server.address"
Hit enter and it should launch a new X11 window that will try to access the remote server where you should be prompted for your PIN.
To explore more options with rdesktop, open X11 and type the following (without quotes):
"cd /usr/local/bin && ./rdesktop"
Hit enter and you should get a list of options available to rdesktop.
=========================================================
TRON's procedure works. I tried to get it working using the MACPORTS (formerly DarwinPorts) <www.macports.org> implementation of RDESKTOP. It actually uses the same OpenSource implementation, but the build procedures are completely different. The MACPORTS implementation would build properly and run. But I could not get the build to enable SmartCard. I tried modifying the PORTFILE by adding a new variant call that according to SourceForge (ticket#20664) should work:
variant smartcard description {enables smartcard forwarding} {
configure.args-append --enable-smartcard
It probably does work if you can get the CONFIGURE file appropriately. The variant call in the PORTFILE apparently does not do that modification on its own. MACPORTS builds and installs the various software "ports" (including RDESKTOP) by on-the-fly pulling the information form the TAR file into a temporary workspace. So you have to (somehow) make the modification happen as the CONFIGURE file is pulled into temporary workspace. I have not yet figured it out.
The advantage of the MACPORTS implementation is that there is a simple uninstall script built into all of the software "ports". The SourceForge version of RDESKTOP has no such uninstall capability (that I can find) built in. I would, therefore, prefer to use the much more elegant MACPORTS implementation, which leads to my two questions:
1. Has anybody found a straightforward procedure to enable SmartCards/CAC during the build of the MACPORTS version of RDESKTOP?
2. How do I safely and cleanly uninstall the non-MACPORTS <SourceForge.org> version of RDESKTOP?

CAC card reader with Snow Leopard

I recently switched to my macbook pro, but cannot use my CAC card reader (smart card) to access email and systems from work. The only info I can find indicates that the readers are not supported/compatible with my system. Other than using bootcamp or parallels and Windows XP, does anyone have any guidance? Any assistance would be welcome. Thanks.

I'm trying to use my CAC reader on my new MBP...old MB had Tiger, so I bought SCM SCR331 reader and downloaded the middleware available for it. Was able to log into AF Portal, but never my email...always errored out and I assumed that for some reason, the reader or the OS or Safari, was not using the correct certificate (there are at least 2 on the ID card...one for regular log in and another for email). At work, the PC asks me which certificate to use when I access my email through the AF Portal and I choose the one marked EMAIL. My MB would not ask...
Now, with my brand new MBP, the SCR331 is just not detected. Reading through the information on militarycac.com, I must need a firmware update that is not available for Mac...your information on the SGT111 is very helpful, and since its fairly cheap, I think I will buy one and be rid of firmware issues.
Accessing my email from home is very important to me, so this last post has me feeling a bit deflated. Please update if you figure anything out, I only have the MB and MBP in my home. I'm also thinking of seeing if the 'genius' at my local Apple store can help...

How can I get a CAC card reader to work on a new iPad with a lightning connector?

I need to know if it is possible to use a CAC card reader for military use on a new iPad with a lightning connector. I saw the lightning to USB connector but wasn't sure it the iPad will support it.

Look at this link http://militarycac.com/mobile.htm

I am trying to install Photoshop Elements on my new Windows 8 computer (I recently upgraded my windows 7 computer where Photoshop was working fine on before). It says the serial number is invalid. Do older versionsnot work on Windows8, or do I need to uninstall it from my old computer first?

You are allowed to have two activated installations. If you happened to have one on this Windows 8 machine before, it is possible that the activation used for it was never deactivated (did you deactivate it before you upgraded Windows?). Talk to Adobe support thru chat. They might be able to resolve this with you:

Trying to install iTunes on Windows 8.1. Apple Application Support was not found. Error 2. Uniinstall iTunes and try again, does not work. Is there a fix?

Trying to install iTunes on Windows 8.1. Apple Application Support was not found. Error 2. Uniinstall iTunes and try again, does not work. Is there a fix?

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

I take that to mean you never deactivated the 2 old machines. So you're stuck. You need to contact customer care via online Chat.

I am trying to install Illustrator CS3 onto my new MBAir.

I am trying to install Illustrator CS3 onto my new MBAir. I have the CDROM for CS3 and want to download onto the Air. Tried copying the files via TimeMachine share but didn't work. Do I need to buy an external USB to download or is there another option?

Adobe applications typically place files in all sorts of locations, so trying to install Illustrator from a TM backup or copying from another system is very difficult since you probably can't get all the files. You'll need either an external CD/DVD drive or another computer with a drive you can access, either for Remote Disk:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287
or if it's a Mac to make a disk image of the Illustrator installer CD which you can then copy to the MBA and run.
Regards.

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Trying to install app disc on my New 2nd hand iMac july 2010 MC511B/A

When trying to install app disc on my new 2nd hand july 2010 MC511B/A get a message box showing OS X utilities, when choosing reinstall OS X get T&C's and then 2 options Recovery&Old Mac, Recovery option says locked, Old Mac option asks me to sign in on my @Apple ID, I do then nothing! tried just loading the 'Install discs (Applications & OS X) but no joy, though not sure if uninstall done correctly:(any idea's?

Well, running on a 2006 model. I did not have a startup disc. Initially, it booted up on original software in 2006. Since then, I've upgraded to 10.6 via a box set. And, since then I think I popped it up to lion.
All I have on a disc is snow leopard. And, I can't get farther than the setup screen due to hard drive. I'm taking to a apple authorized repair store right now. We'll see what they tell me . I'm just going to weigh the cost of repair vs. buying new.
Another bad, stupid thing is I had no means of backing up my stuff. So, I might have lost things like music, vids, etc. we'll see if they can recover. If the cost is too much for repair I might just forget it and start over with a new system. Just not sure at this point.
