I have an intuos 2 graphic tablet, incompatible with imac?

My intuos 2 graphic tablet is far from new, but it's worked fine plugged into my custom pc. Well, been staying with my mom a lot lately and decided to hook it up to her imac only to discover that there's no corresponding socket for this plug in the back. Is there some kind of adaptor that would let me utilize one of the usb spots? Pretty sure she has an imac, though not entirely sure. Looks like google images for imac except about an inch thick at the edges. These are the options in the back.

Hi hatchettwit,
I have used a few serial cable only devices with my iMac using the following adapter (I tried other adapters but they failed miserably), compatible up to Mac OSX 10.7 (going by their website):
http://www.tripplite.com/en/products/model.cfm?txtSeriesID=518&txtModelID=3914
I haven't tried it with a tablet yet, but I don't see why it shouldn't work.
I found the product at Amazon at:
http://www.amazon.com/Keyspan-USA-19HS-Hi-Speed-supports-Sequence/dp/B0000VYJRY/ ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&sr=8-1&keywords=KEYSPAN®+Series++USA-19HS
Wacom USB drivers seem to be available for the intuos2 for up to Mac OSX 10.7 at:

I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space, and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run t media from an external hard drive? If so, how do I transfer my files?

I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space (32 GB), and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run itunes from an external hard drive? I have tried to follow some of the directions on this site, but am having no success. Thanks.

iTunes will run fine with the media on an external drive.
However, I suggest that a tablet computer with a tiny hard drive is not ideal as the primary computer for managing an iTunes library, even a small one. If you have another machine, perhaps a big, boxy, inexpensive old desktop with a decent amount of storage, that might be a better choice.

Installing a Kanvus Virtuoso T5000 graphics tablet on an iMac

On 26 June 2013 I purchased a Kanvus Virtuoso T5000 graphics tablet from Worldstart.com. Unfortunately, it was some time before I was able to try to install and use the item on my iMac, which is running OS-X Version 10.9.1. I now find that attempting to run the driver installation package gives the following error message: The document “PenTabletSetup.mpkg” could not be opened. This is, of course, very disappointing to me; the product looks extremely interesting to me as an artist.
On the Kanvus website, I find that this item has been discontinued. I hope that a reputable and customer-friendly company would continue at least minimal support for a discontinued product, but the website doesn't especially reflect this — or at any rate, I couldn't find it. I would appreciate any help you could offer for installing the Virtuoso T5000 tablet on my iMac, discontinued product or not. Thank you.

Currently no such upgrade program has been announced. There has been some rumbling on the web that it might be upgradeable. But Apple has not officially announced a path. Any such upgrades would have to be done out of warranty unless you saw a program on the Do-It-Yourself pages of Apple's support webpage for the iMac.

Is Samsung GT-S5230 incompatible with iMac ?

Is Samsung GT-S5230 incompatible with my iMac OS 7? And can this be overcome so that I can
transfer photos and Videos to my Pictures file?

You can use SOME of the S5230 ( STAR) features in Mac OS X and you can share documents with it :
In all cases the phone needs to have a Micro SD card installed as "hard disk" ( up to 8GB work fine in it ).
The phone supports saving photos and videos either to the internal space which is only a few hundred MB or to the memory card. But you need to set the memory card as the place to save manually - else it will still save to the telephones space ( silly I know ).
You need to save photos,music,videos on the memory card in the phone ( not to the telephons own filesystem ) , you can set the default loaction where to save in the 5230s settings menu, under "memory".
The 5230 knows 3 modes it can connect to a machine. "PC Studio", "MP3 Player" and "USB Mass Storage".
MP3Player is only usebale in connection with Windows Media Player 11. Itunes can't handle that device.
Now when you plug the 5230 to a Mac you must choose "USB mass storage" as connection to get to the memory card.
This way the phone's memory card will appear in Finder as external harddisk, and thus you can access the files on it.
This phone is usable on mac/linux only in this mode for file access. The "new pc studio" software that would enable all the othe features plus access to the phone system runs only in Windows.
The 5230 has also a data/fax modem , but this is not supported in Lion, only in Snow Leopard. ( to enable that you would choose "PC Studio" as connection type when you plug it in the mac , and then OS X will report that it found a new networking device - a modem . )

HT5022 Is it true that Airport Express Utility 5.6 is not compatible with OS 10.8.2, even though the Airport Express Utility 6.2 that I have is said to be incompatible with my Express?

I've been having a problem with needing to reset my older Airport Express once or twice a week, and I thought that I'd check my settlings and possibly get any updates available. I'm told when I try to use my current version of Airport Express Utility (6.2) that I need to unstall the older Airport Expess Utility 5.6. But when I tried to install Utility 5.6, I was told that it was not compatible with my operating system. Is it possible that under 10.8.2, I no longer have an usable Airport Utility program available?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Although OS X Mountain Lion comes with AirPort Utility 6, AirPort Utility 5.6 is perfectly compatible. Follow these steps:
1. Download AirPort Utility 5.6 > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482 if you have downloaded it yet, ignore this step.
2. Open Terminal and type:
cd ~/Downloads && pkgutil --expand ./AirPortUtility56.pkg ~/Downloads/AirPortUtility56 && gunzip -c<./AirPortUtility56/AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg/Payload | sudo tar -C / -xvf - "./Applications/Utilities/AirPort Utility 5.6.app"
3. Open Finder, go to Utilities folder and open “AirPort Utility 5.6” to set up the AirPort Express

We have just moved from a PC to iMac. We have been in the habit of switching off at the wall our PC connection, overnight. We have been told this not necessary with iMac. Is this correct?

Is it recommended to switch off all power to iMac, overnight?

No, it is not recommended or necessary.

Graphic Tablet

I want to add a graphic tablet to my iMac so I can increase my PhotoShop skills. If you have experience using a graphic tablet, please advise on best product for working with graphics. Thanks.

Well, I just have the smallest Graphire, which is okay for retouching, but not so good for drawing. The Intuos line also have angle sensitivity, which is worth paying extra for if your budget extends that far.
As for size, if you just want to use the tablet for selecting things in PS, a small size is fine, but if you like to work with big sweeping strokes you'd be more comfortable with a larger tablet.
BTW, there is a serious adjustment period with any tablet. They feel very awkward at first. The best advice I can give you is to use the tablet for everything you do on the computer when you are getting used to it. Pretty soon it's second nature, but those first few minutes may make you think you made a mistake in getting one.

Screen Problems with iMac G5 20" (iSight)

Hello!
I had the same problem with my iMac G5 20" (iSight) as described by Bob North Apr. 18, 2006 at http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/imacg5/topic2276.html#apr25:
"""" I repair Apple products, and recently I've seen strange and erratic display problems with the G5 flat-panel (iSight) 17" and 20"...and I am very curious about the origin. The picture will display what I will call "plaid pixles". Upon boot, the dispaly appears normal, but within 5-10 minutes, either at desktop or in ASD, the normal display will "crash" to the "plaid" display. The desktop, or whatever, can still be distinguished in the background, but it is overwashed by the plaid patterns -- which do change slightly, and also cover the full space of the screen. I've seen different scenarios, 3 in 2 weeks, where the symptom is exhibited with no particular failure pattern -- both before and after repair. I've replaced the main logic on one occasion, with no fix...but the 2nd try replaced both display panel and inverter. The display issue was fixed, but the system exhibited lockups only when it reached the destop. Another repair the same issue was seen after replacing the 20" main logic, where the symptom was not present previous. Personal opinion of the late 2005 IMAC flat-panels, in the hardware sense, is the likelihood of component manufacture issues, possibly the main logic boards or the panel displays themselves. Repair of this model, as opposed to the earlier, non-iSight flat-panel 17 and 20" models are extremely difficult -- access to main componenets is blocked by the display panel, which must be removed for each troubleshooting attempt. The internal hardware design is not oriented for repair ease...they are by far the most difficult to work on.
Any input regarding the display issues? Thanks.""""
I can't use the mouse or anything else, and after a while the fans start to go on max. This is the second time I encounter this problem within 30 days. What I have noticed is that the day before, the brightness of the screen started to "blink" slightly -- like if the screen tried to adjust itself.
But I haven't experienced what Bob North describes as the: "Upon boot, the dispaly appears normal, but within 5-10 minutes, either at desktop or in ASD, the normal display will "crash" to the "plaid" display".
I just restart with the power button and everything is working OK. I made an Extended Hardware test without any problems detected.

Does it look anything like this?

My nearly 3 year old Titanium PowerBook G4 just did this one day, out of the blue. The problem went away after a few minutes, but I had already taken photos. Thanks to those photos, Apple gave the powerbook a new logic board.
(This PowerBook has had its logic board replaced twice, a new optical drive, and a cracked case edge replaced. AppleCare has more than paid for itself. Despite the occasional problems, I remain very happy with this machine. I'm sure I'd be much less happy if I had not bought AppleCare!)

Correct. That error indicates you have a 2G iPod. You say you have an 8 GB 3G iPod there is not such thing. Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. You have a 2G iPod.

Can I use a graphics tablet such as Wacom with Keynote?

I would like to be able to use my Graphics tablet with Keynote to write on my slides while teaching. I am able to use the pen tablet with Powerpoint, I just select pen for pointer and pen color. How do I do this in Keynote?
Thanks for your help,
Jackk

I don't think you can do that within Keynote itself. Is there anything useful in the Inkwell preferences? I have never used a tablet with a Mac before, but I think that Inkwell would have some kind of annotation feature.

Looking for note taking software to use with a graphics tablet

Hello folks,
I am trying to find a software that would allow me to interchangably use typing and writing/drawing on a graphics tablet smoothly.
I'm looking for something that would essentially provide a 'blank sheet of lined-paper' where i can quickly type what my professors are saying, as well as easily draw whatever they are drawing. Also, since I am studying engineering, I would need something that I can easily write math symbols and equations so I can use it as scratch paper.
At the same time, I am looking to save trees and money, as well as keep organized and simplicity when it comes to archiving.
I have tried Microsoft Word 2008's notebook view, and this is currently the closest thing to what I want, but it favors mostly the text side of what I want (of course), and isn't very good in the drawing part. It also isn't very smooth when I try to do practice math/physics/engineering problems on it, nor is it very good at drawing molecular structures (O-Chem)... but for the most part, it gets the job done. It is also a headache because when you zoom in a lot to make it easier to write (mind you, I am using a tiny macbook screen..), the title bar also zooms in, and ends up taking half of the screen, making zooming in practically useless. (the title bar is also locked, so even as you scroll down, it stays in the top half.)
I have also tried Adobe Acrobat Professional 7, where I simply made a blank notebook from some image online, and I use it as scratch paper. When it comes to drawing, it is very smooth, but it's a headache sometimes, because after writing something and pausing for a second or two, the pen tool automatically becomes a 'selector' tool, and so if i want to draw over what I previously wrote, it changes to selector and instead of writing over, it drags and drops the object around a bit. The tolerance for that is really high too, and i'd have to bring the pointer about half an inch or so before I can start writing something again. I also haven't given the text a try yet, but it lets me make collapseable text boxes, so that is good for further annotating my equations and drawings, but isn't very useful for a full-lecture class (i.e. biology)
I also don't even want to consider photoshop, because it's basically too powerful, and I don't want my laptop fans going off in-class (its SUPER loud when it happens...) and I need it to last the day.
So just a sum up:
I'm looking for a good note-taking software (for mac) that will allow me to smoothly use my graphics tablet AND be able to type.
MS Word '08 and Adobe Acrobat are close... but aren't quite to what I want exactly...
I have a Wacom Bamboo tablet and an '09 Intel-based MacBook.
Thank you in advance!

I have had this same issue and found this program called NoteBook that allows you to type, and draw (write) notes on a variety of paper types, (lined, graphing, engineering,etc.) and it uses the .nb file type that allows you to save multiple "pages" inside one file in a sort-of "notebook" if you will. It works great, but has several minor disadvantages. I can't change the ink color, I can't change the tip thickness (other than the pressure sensitive option with my wacom graphics tablet), and it doesn't allow you to open pdfs or other documents to inscribe upon. All around though it has been wonderful. There are really no good note taking apps out there...

Using graphics tablet with Ipad2

For those of us who would like a stylus experience with fine detail, from an artistic perspective, or much more accurate handwriting input -- does anyone know of a graphics tablet (that uses a fine detail stylus) that can be used as the input device for an iPad 2? I imagine it would have to employ some kind of app to make it work. Anybody gone down this trail yet??

Doesn't exist.

I have pse 12 i bought a wacom intuos pen tablet small recently but when i click on the tablet options only the opacity pressure sensititive option works everything else does not respond to pen pressure sensitivity

who's fault is it adobe or wacom?who should fix the problem or can i fix it on my own? the wacom driver is up to date just in case u suggest that to me.

This is the Photoshop Touch for tablets forum. But anyhoo...
I have a Bamboo Splash tablet that I use with Windows 8.1 64-bit but have zero problems using it in Photoshop CC 2014.2.2. Things that come to mind to me are:
You didn't mention what model tablet. Wacom has a range of drivers for your specific model here. Try that.
There's no way that you can install Mac drivers on a Windows system. Mac drivers come as DMG files; Win drivers come as EXE files.
If you have the proper drivers installed and it's still giving you overall system issues, look into other aspects of your system. e.g., Are there other applications running in the background that could interfere? Exit them. Are all the drivers for your components updated? (Video, audio, etc.) If you don't feel computer savvy, get someone who is to take a look.
ON EDIT: I am a derp. I just saw the thread title. Sorry about that. Go to the link I posted above to find the Windows drivers for the Intuos 4.

Drawing with a graphics tablet in Flash

Hey community!
I recently got the newest version of Flash and wanted to do some drawing with my graphics tablet, but whenever i try to draw a freehand line, using the pencil or paintbrush tool, then for some reason, it draws a straight line leading to the bottom left side of the screen, and i have no idea why it is doing this.
When i use the tablet to draw in Photoshop, then it works absolutely fine, but not in Flash
Any help will be lovely!!
Thank you

Hi,
The issue is resolved in the latest update of Flash Pro.Please update Flash professional to 14.1.0.96 .Follow the instruction below for the same :
Installation instructions
Log out and log in to the CC desktop application. Update the application when prompted.
You should see the list of new updates as soon as the new CC desktop application is launched.
Install Flash Professional CC and Mobile Device Packaging app. On a high speed connection, it took me around 8 minutes.
After the application is installed, you can launch the application directly from the desktop app by clicking on it.
Thanks & Regards,
Sangeeta
