Title: Help me with PGP?
Post by: GGBeans on June 18, 2013, 02:57 am
So I got GPGTools for Mac and whenever I try to import my key, it says I don't have any.
Anyone want to try and help? I can post the tutorial I'm using, just let me go find it.

I've imported the key I want to send to, but I can't insert my key.
When I do a box pops up with my keys and says I don't have any, even though I just made one.

not sure with a mac but i know i had to learn by surfing to understand how it worked. What i do know is alot of times you have to copy and save it as a .txt file in notepad. Then you have to upload it from the program. It should work that way, but remember its not just the encrypted numbers and letters you actually have to copy the being public key all the way to end public key. i hope that helps you some with the mac version

That works now, thanks.
But now when I go to encrypt the message I don't have a secret key to select from the pulldown bar.  ???
