Download Shark Bridge Card Game for macOS 10.13 or later and enjoy it on your Mac. ‎Shark Bridge offers unlimited hands, duplicate bridge game, Daily Tournament with MP (%) scoring. You can play and review boards with the complete auction and play details, from International, North American, and European competitions. At this time sadly no. This would be perfect for OS update/upgrade testing if you could go back one prod version. Once T2 Mac is updated, you will need another Mac to run the same update workflow test again. The new feature to downgrade a beta version of BridgeOS is definitely a step in the right direction! Hello, everyone. This is a repository discussing about how to install Mac OS Catalina (or newer version) on GPD Win Max. Thanks to all the volunteers who participated in this project. I don't have all their names, but without their effect, this repository won't be possible. These are all the names I know. One big guy for the initial version of EFI.

BridgeComposer is a Windows application. There is no version built to run on Mac, Linux, or any other OS.

However, following are three general techniques that can allow Windows applications to run on non-Windows computers.

Mac users, see also: How-to Geek: 5 Ways to Run Windows Software on a Mac.

FOR INFORMATION ONLY: Unless otherwise indicated, the author has not tested these techniques. They may or may not work for you. Please send feedback to support@bridgecomposer.com so that others may benefit from your experience.

1. Dual Boot: Mac Boot Camp

Many computers can be set up for 'dual boot'. When you power-up or reboot the computer, you can select which operating system to boot. If you have installed Windows as a secondary OS and select it at boot time, then you can run BridgeComposer.

I understand that the Apple utility for dual-booting is known as 'Boot Camp'.

This solution likely requires the purchase of a Windows license.

2. Virtualization: Parallels Desktop for Mac

With 'Parallels Desktop for Mac', you can reportedly run both Mac and Windows applications side-by-side without rebooting. This product apparently uses 'hardware virtualization' to run both OS at the same time.

This solution likely requires the purchase of a Windows license, in addition to the Parallels software.

I have feedback from three Parallels users: #1 and #3 very positive, #2 with a glitch (believed to be resolved):

  1. [2013-10-28] I have installed Parallels on my two Mac computers, an iMac and a MacBook. On both machines I am running Windows 7 and find that any modern program designed for Windows runs satisfactorily on the computers. This includes several bridge programs such as Q-Bridge and the programs written by Bernard Magee.

    As you are aware, I am also running BridgeComposer and find that it is very smooth and that there are no problems running it on the Mac. The only issue I had was in the download because it was an exe file but you resolved this problem for me. I simply renamed the file by removing the .exe so that it became an msi file.

    Thank you for your impressive support and help.

  2. [2013-11-19] I enjoy using BridgeComposer to make handouts of practice hands to give to my students.

    I have an IMAC, and I run Parallels on it. BridgeComposer runs through Parallels. Every time I open BridgeComposer, it crashes Windows XP on my Parallels and gives me the Blue screen of death! Then it reboots it. Then when I open BridgeComposer the second time, it works. This has happened every single time.

    [Your BridgeComposer developer believes this was caused by a bug in Windows XP versions prior to SP3. A workaround to circumvent this bug was implemented in BridgeComposer version 5.59, so the blue-screen crash no longer occurs on any version of Windows.]

  3. [2020-05-30] Just tested your BridgeComposer program. Works beautifully on a Mac Powerbook with Windows 10 Pro (64bit) on Parallels Desktop 15 (Pro).

    Even if I don’t know if I’ll use it that often, bought a license to support the development of this ingenious program and its very good and understandable documentation - thanks!

3. Compatibility Layer: Wine and CrossOver

'Wine' is a free and open-source application that aims to allow Windows apps to run on Unix-like OS (including Mac OS X and Linux).

Mac users, see:

Linux users: binary packages of Wine exist for the popular distributions.

In addition, a fully-supported adaptation of Wine for Mac and Linux, known as 'CrossOver', is available for purchase.

Your BridgeComposer developer has run BridgeComposer on Linux (Ubuntu) using Wine. A few changes were made to BridgeComposer to accommodate the Wine environment. As of the last testing, there were still a few unresolved issues (roughly in order of decreasing user impact):

  • Importing score data from Bridgemate/BridgePad BWS files (contracts, etc.) does not work.
  • The Script menu and other 'automation' features do not work.
  • Button labels and dialog text fields are clipped sometimes.
  • Toolbar tooltip windows are too small: text is clipped.
  • Board→Edit dialog does not show tooltips for the hand status icons in the Deal section.
  • The Edit→Complete Word command does not work correctly.
  • The Help browser is missing the Index and Search tabs.
  • The Enter Hands dialog says 'Need to engage the Num Lock' when it is already engaged.
  • Animation of page transitions does not occur.
  • The Font dialog 'Show more fonts' link does not do anything.

(Last tested in January, 2017: BridgeComposer 5.62; Ubuntu 16.04; Wine 1.6.2.)

Wine and CrossOver do not require the purchase of a Windows license.

Wine/CrossOver feedback:

  1. [2017-01-10] I use BridgeComposer under Linux with the help of CodeWeavers CrossOver. It works perfectly fine.

    PS: Almost all of the bridge software I use is working under wine/crossover: Wbridge5, Jack6, MicroBridge13, Q-Plus Bridge, Bridge Baron, Bridge Master... Only GotoBridge and Funbridge work only under windows.

  2. [2018-05-28] When accessing the Help files, none of the help text documents will open. System info: Linux Mint 17.3, Wine 1.6.2

    [Possible fix: Download Wine Gecko from https://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko. (Try the bottom MSI file in the 32-bit column.) Install from Terminal using 'wine msiexec -ifilename'.]

NOTE:

Between mid October 2019 and mid February 2020 everyone in the Army was migrated to use their PIV Authentication certificate for Email access. You no longer use the Email certificate for Enterprise Email or any CAC enabled websites

Mac users who choose to upgrade (or already have upgraded) to Mac OS Catalina (10.15.x) or Big Sur (11.xx.x) will need to uninstall all 3rd Party CAC enablers per https://militarycac.com/macuninstall.htm AND reenable the native smart card ability (very bottom of macuninstall link above)

If you purchased your Mac with OS Catalina (10.15.x) or Big Sur (11.xx.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?

Crosser

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, SCR-3310 v2.0, GSR-202, 202V, 203, or SCR-3500a reader. If you have a reader other than these 6, 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-3310 v2.0 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 “SCR3310 v2.0 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 6.02, it will not read the 'G+D FIPS 201 SCE 7.0' CAC on Mac OS 11.xx.x or 10.15.7. I contacted HID (the company that makes these readers) on 14 DEC 2020 to find a way to update the firmware to 6.02. They said there is not firmware update for the reader. If your reader is older, you may need a new one. Please look at: https://militarycac.com/usbreaders.htm to find a compatible one. If you are already at version 6.02, your reader should work fine on your Mac and no further hardware changes are required. You can now Quit System Profiler and continue to Step 3.

Step 2c1c-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 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, or 11.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 seven 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.

Step 5: Install the DoD certificates (for Safari and Chrome Users)

Go to Keychain Access

Click: Go (top of screen), Utilities, double click Keychain Access.app

(You can also type: keychain access using Spotlight (this is my preferred method))

Select login (under Keychains),and All Items (under Category).

Download the 5 files via links below (you may need to <ctrl> click, select Download Linked File As... on each link) Save to your downloads folder

Please know... IF You have any DoD certificates already located in your keychain access, you will need to delete them prior to running the AllCerts.p7b file below.

https://militarycac.com/maccerts/AllCerts.p7b,

https://militarycac.com/maccerts/RootCert2.cer,

https://militarycac.com/maccerts/RootCert3.cer,

https://militarycac.com/maccerts/RootCert4.cer, and

Double click each of the files to install certificates into the login section of keychain

Select the Kind column, verify the arrow is pointing up, scroll down to certificate, look for all of the following certificates:

DOD EMAIL CA-33 through DOD EMAIL CA-34,

DOD EMAIL CA-39 through DOD EMAIL CA-44,

DOD EMAIL CA-49 through DOD EMAIL CA-52,

DOD EMAIL CA-59,

DOD ID CA-33 through DOD ID CA-34,

DOD ID CA-39 through DOD ID CA-44,

DOD ID CA-49 through DOD ID CA-52,

DOD ID CA-59

DOD ID SW CA-35 through DOD ID SW CA-38,

DOD ID SW CA-45 through DOD ID SW CA-48,

DoD Root CA 2 through DoD Root CA 5,

DOD SW CA-53 through DOD SW CA-58, and

DOD SW CA-60 through DOD SW CA-61

NOTE: If you are missing any of the above certificates, you have 2 choices,

1. Delete all of them, and re-run the 5 files above, or

2. Download the allcerts.zip file and install each of the certificates you are missing individually.

Errors:

Error 100001 Solution

Error 100013 Solution

You may notice some of the certificates will have a red circle with a white X . This means your computer does not trust those certificates

You need to manually trust the DoD Root CA 2, 3, 4, & 5 certificates

Double click each of the DoD Root CA certificates, select the triangle next to Trust, in the When using this certificate: select Always Trust, repeat until all 4 do not have the red circle with a white X.

You may be prompted to enter computer password when you close the window

Once you select Always Trust, your icon will have a light blue circle with a white + on it.

The 'bad certs' that have caused problems for Windows users may show up in the keychain access section on some Macs. These need to be deleted / moved to trash.

The DoD Root CA 2 & 3 you are removing has a light blue frame, leave the yellow frame version. The icons may or may not have a red circle with the white x

or DoD Interoperability Root CA 1 or CA 2 certificate
DoD Root CA 2 or 3 (light blue frame ONLY) certificate
or Federal Bridge CA 2016 or 2013 certificate
or Federal Common Policy CAcertificate
or or SHA-1 Federal Root CA G2 certificate
or US DoD CCEB Interoperability Root CA 1 certificate

If you have tried accessing CAC enabled sites prior to following these instructions, please go through this page before proceeding

Clearing the keychain (opens a new page)

Please come back to this page to continue installation instructions.

Step 5a: DoD certificate installation instructions for Firefox users

NOTE: Firefox will not work on Catalina (10.15.x), or last 4 versions of Mac OS if using the native Apple smartcard ability

Download AllCerts.zip, [remember where you save it].

double click the allcerts.zip file (it'll automatically extract into a new folder)

Option 1 to install the certificates (semi automated):

From inside the AllCerts extracted folder, select all of the certificates

<control> click (or Right click) the selected certificates, select Open With, Other...

In the Enable (selection box), change to All Applications

Select Firefox, then Open

You will see several dozen browser tabs open up, let it open as many as it wants..

You will eventually start seeing either of the 2 messages shown next

If the certificate is not already in Firefox, a window will pop up stating 'You have been asked to trust a new Certificate Authority (CA).'

Check all three boxes to allow the certificate to: identify websites, identify email users, and identify software developers

or

'Alert This certificate is already installed as a certificate authority.' Click OK

Once you've added all of the certificates...
• Click Firefox (word) (upper left of your screen)
