You can get the software to work but you need to use Firefox that allows you to spoof which operating system you are using. You need to download the User Agent Switcher Add On and then in the Tools menu add a new Agent - call it something you will recognize and edit the string to change 10.9.x to 10.8. You will then need to select this agent before going to carelink.minimed.org. This works on my iMac but it still won't recognize the Carelink USB - I think that this is a USB 3 versus 2 compatability issue and Minimed needs to update the drivers. However, it does work on my MacBook Pro, which is a couple of years old, running Maverick, but with USB 2 ports. So a solution of sorts.


I just realised that activating the Develop Menu in Safari Preference - Advanced and then from the Develop Menu select Safari 6.1 as the User Agent does the same thing. This still does not solve the USB issue. I will try buying a USB2 hub and seeing if that works.
