Just to clarify, this can be used with a Mac desktop computer and for military IDs?

NO! It's for CAC Cards but stinks with Macs. This even has a hard time with some PC's. I'm sure if you know a lot of computer stuff you could get it goin on Mac but it's not a simple plug-n-play

That's right. I use it with my CAC. Just had to get a piece of software from military.com or AKO. It took me 5 minutes to set up on my MacBook Air.

I use this on a MacBook pro, a Mac Mini server and in my Mac Pro desktop, it works on all of them and they are running everything from Lion to Mavericks OS. You'll need to set up some free software in addition for it to work properly. Go here and follow the step-by-step instructions (all software is FREE): http://militarycac.com/apple.htm

I use mine on my Mac laptop and it worked fine. Not sure about desktop, but don't think it would not work.

Yes, I used it on a IMAC & MacBook pro with my CAC no issues, just make sure you have the latest DOD certs

I'm sorry I can't speak for Mac I am a PC user. The scanner works great BTW.

Yes you can. When you go to format it make sure you set it to be used on both macs and pcs.

I can't answer that. I can tell you that it didn't communicate with a Mac laptop recently.

I don't know Macs, but it'll work with any PC that has a standard 'lock' slot.

Thanks, you've been very helpful. I will take a chance and give it as a gift to the Mac user with your notes.

I primarily use these on a PC. But when I plugged it into a Mac it did not seem to recognize it.

It works. Are you military? If so, go to militarycac.com and follow instructions for Apple users.

Yes. Its an SD card, so macbooks have a slot for that, most desktops do as well? Or a card reader. But yes, compatible.
1709693
Yes, you can. The optional Logitech software that comes with it doesn't run on a mac, but the macs do recognize the hardware.

The licenses say "PC/Mac Key card" and "PC/Mac Download", the name indicates it is for Mac as well.

Yes indeed. There is a MAC OS driver on the website. I use two of these in my office for over a year and still going strong. Our buisness now buys these for every employee. Good easy product. you wont be disappointed.

Not sure. We use it to print ID tags for children's checkin at our church. And it is from a web browser.

Yes. I use it with KVM switch between my PC desktop and Mac laptop. Some of the extra buttons have different default assignment under two OSes, but other than that, no issues

Is that a digital Card (Memory) Reader? If yes, then I have a smart card reader. Being in the military we have smart Card Readers that read our military ID. That is why I am asking the question.

I can't imagine it would not be. We used it With windows, no problem. It's a simple device and Mac should have the software and drivers auto installed.

I dont see why not, the basic function of this device is to read whatever info is programmed into a magnetic strip on a card. So if that card is an ID or a credit card it will take the info and plug it into whatever program/software you have open to accept info. For instance, if I had Microsoft Word open on my PC and I swiped a card, the info programmed into the strip would come up on the open Word document, its almost like a keyboard but you swipe instead of type. I hope this ll makes sense for you :)
