6 'high level' steps needed, follow down the page to make this a painless systematic process

1a. | My Mac has a USB type C port, what do I do? |
2. | Can your Mac 'see' the reader? |
3. | Verify which version of Mac OS you have |
4. | Figure out which CAC (ID card) you have |
5. | Update your DoD certificates |

Step 1: Is your CAC reader Mac friendly?
Best Mac Compatible CAC USB Readers. Best Mac Compatible CAC Desk Readers. Step 2: Plug in and Ensure It’s Accepted. Once you have your CAC reader, plug it into your Mac and ensure your computer recognizes it. If you have one of the CAC readers we suggested above, then you should be good to go.
Visit the USB Readers page to verify the CAC reader you have is Mac friendly.
'Some, not all' CAC readers may need to have a driver installed to make it work.
NOTE: Readers such as: SCR-331, GSR-202, GSR-202V, & GSR-203 could need firmware updates (NO OTHER Readers need firmware updates).
Information about these readers are in Step 2
Step 2: Can your Mac 'see' the reader?
Plug the CAC reader into an open USB port before proceeding, give it a few moments to install
Step 2a: Click the Apple Icon in the upper left corner of the desktop, select 'About This Mac'
Step 2b: Click the 'More Info' (button) (Mac OS 10.6.x and older), Mac OS 10.7.x and newer go to step 2c
Step 2c: Click 'System Report..' (button) (Only shown in 10.7.x and newer)
Step 2d: Verify the CAC reader shows in Hardware, USB, under USB Device Tree. Different readers will show differently, most readers have no problem in this step. See Step 2d1 for specific reader issues.
Step 2d1: Verify firmware version on your SCR-331 or GSR-202, 202V, 203 CAC, or SCR-3500a reader. If you have a reader other than these 5, GO TO STEP 3
Step 2d1a-SCR-331 reader
If your reader does not look this this, go to the next step.
Below 'Hardware' click 'USB.' On the right side of the screen under 'USB Device Tree' the window will display all hardware plugged into the USB ports on your Mac. Look for “SCRx31 USB Smart Card Reader.” If the Smart Card reader is present, look at 'Version' in the lower right corner of this box: If you have a number below 5.18, you need to update your firmware to 5.25. If you are already at 5.18 or 5.25, your reader is installed on your system, and no further hardware changes are required. You can now Quit System Profiler and continue to Step 3.
Step 2d1b-IOGearGSR-202, 202V, 203, and 205 [USB type C] readers
If your reader does not look like these, go toStep 3.
Below 'Hardware' click 'USB.' On the right side of the screen under 'USB Device Tree' the window will display all hardware plugged into the USB ports on your Mac. You should see “EMV Smartcard Reader.” If the Smart Card Reader is present look for 'Product ID' in the lower right corner of this box: If you see: 0x9540, you need to downgrade the firmware to 0x9520. If you see 0x9520, your reader is installed on your system, and no further hardware changes are required. You can now Quit System Profiler and continue to Step 3.
Step 2d1c-SCR-3500A reader
If you have the SCR3500A P/N:905430-1 CAC reader,you may need to install this driver, as the one that installs automatically will not work. Hold the control key [on your keyboard] when clicking the .pkg file [with your mouse], select [the word] Open
Step 3: Verify which version of MacOS do you have?
(You need to know this information for step 6)
Step 3a: Click the Apple Icon in the upper left corner of your desktop and select 'About This Mac'
Step 3b: Look below Mac OS X for: Version 10.X.X.
Step 4: Figure out which CAC (ID Card) you have
(You need to know this information for step 6)
Look at the back of your ID card (above the black strip) for these card types. If you have any version other than the six shown below, you need to visit an ID card office and have it replaced. All CACs [other than these six] were supposed to be replaced prior to 1 October 2012.
