Mac users who choose to upgrade (or already have upgraded) to Mac OS Catalina (10.15.x) will need to uninstall all 3rd Party CAC enablers per https://militarycac.com/macuninstall.htm AND reenable the built in smart card ability (very bottom of macuninstall link above)
If you purchased your Mac with OS Catalina (10.15.x) already installed, you can skip the uninstall part above and follow the instructions below.
6 'high level' steps needed, follow down the page to make this a painless systematic process
1. | Is your CAC reader 'Mac friendly'? |
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. | Install the DoD certificates |
5a. | Additional DoD certificate installation instructions for Firefox users |
6. | Decide which CAC enabler you want to use (except for 10.12-.15 & 11) |
Step 1: Is your CAC reader Mac friendly?
Visit the USB Readers page to verify the CAC reader you have is Mac friendly.
Visit the USB-C 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 & SCR-3500A may need a firmware update (NO OTHER Readers need firmware updates).
Information about these specific 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 'System Report..' (button)
Step 2c: 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 2c1 for specific reader issues.
Step 2c1: 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, Proceed directly to step 3
Step 2c1a-SCR-331 reader
If your reader does not look like this, go to the next step.
In the 'Hardware' drop down, 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 5.25, you need to update your firmware to 5.25. If you are already at 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 2c1b-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 on most Macs. 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: Example: 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 top back of your ID card 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.

Coptic Reader
Coptic Reader is a mobile application developed by the Diocese and is supported on Android 2.2+ and iOS 6.0+ devices (iPhone and iPad). It contains the official Diocese translation of all the prayer books of the Coptic Orthodox Church in English, Coptic, and Arabic (Table 1). Coptic Reader has been specifically designed to harness the power of modern mobile computing technologies to deliver a seamless user experience (Images 1-3). Thousands of pages from dozens of books have been compressed and included in Coptic Reader allowing effortless access to all the prayers of the Church (Image 4 and 5).

Coptic Book of Hours (i.e., Agpeya) |
Holy Psalmody |
Holy Pascha |
Three Divine Liturgies |
Integrated Service of the Deacons |
Distribution Melodies |
Antiphonary (i.e., Difnar) |
Liturgical readings (i.e., Katamarous) |
Synaxarion |

Image 4 and 5. Showing the Standard Offering of Incense in portrait and the day's Antiphonary in landscape orientations.
Coptic Reader is much more than just a digital version of all the prayer books. Unlike traditional books that present the prayers associated with each season of the year in an exhaustive list, Coptic Reader only displays the prayers/hymns that should be said on a particular day (Image 6). Once the date/time is set (Image 7), Coptic Reader will dynamically generate the prayers exactly as they should be prayed on that day including all the appropriate hymns and responses of the day (Image 8).

Image 7. Calendar Menu, which contains three options: Live, Custom date/time select, and Select Occasion.
Image 8. Automatically, the doxology for the Feast of the Resurrection is incorporated into the Offering of Incense prayers. Shown here in “Slideshow Mode”.
What's more, Coptic Reader has the ability to display the correct responses for a particular saint(s) at the appropriate time. On a saint's feast day, all the appropriate responses for the saint will be automatically incorporated into all documents. Additionally the Annual Commemorations Menu allows the user to control which responses for the saints are displayed even when it is not their feast day (Image 9). This can be used to display the responses for the intercessors of a church throughout the entire year (i.e., verses of the cymbals, doxology, Gospel response, intercession hymn, Praxis response, or Communion melody).
Image 9. Annual Commemorations Menu: allows the user to customize which saint or archangel commemorations will be shown in doxologies, hymns, responses, and other prayers for your church's intercessors.
A special section just for clergy is present for quick access to frequently prayed litanies, responses, and Psalms (Image 10).

When placed into 'Slideshow Mode', Coptic Reader takes on a new feel and its contents are displayed much like a PowerPoint Presentation (Image 8). Slideshow Mode is ideal for presenting on a projector or television and supports the use of remote presenters.
Coptic Reader can be installed on any Android device with Android 2.2 or higher, and may be downloaded from the Google Play Store here.
Coptic Reader can be installed on any iOS device with iOS 6.0 and higher, and will SOON be available for download from the iOS App Store here.
