An issue persists with the SMART Board Tools not responding in Mac OS X Lion  and Mountain Lion (10.7 & 10.8). While the tools will work within the SMART Notebook application, the Smart Ink Aware overlay does not appear when working with other applications. The workaround is to downgrade to the previous version of the SMART drivers (10.8) which can be download by clicking this link.

1. Before installing the 10.8 version drivers, remove the 11.0 version by using the SMART Uninstaller app found in the SMART Technologies folder in the Applications directory.

   

2. When prompted, highlight the SMART drivers from the list and click the Remove button (all other products can remain).  Proceed with additional uninstall steps and close the SMART Uninstaller window after the divers have been removed.

   

3. Install the 10.8 version drivers by launching the 10.8 installer.  When prompted, select ONLY the Product Drivers box from the list and click the Continuebutton.  Proceed with the rest the of installation steps and close the installation window.

   

4. Launch the SMART Toolbar application.

   

5. Clicking a tool icon will produce the gray Ink Aware border-frame around the parameter of the screen.  Use the capture icons in the upper right to save screenshots.

   

Note:
If the annotation tools are still not responding, download and install the 10.8 driver software patch
