IMac and wacom cintiq 21 tablet problem

Hi, i have a serious problem with a first gen intel iMac and a new wacom cintiq 21 u tablet monitor. The problem is that when i connect the tablet to the imac all i get are the terrible red ripples. Adjusting monitor display settings does not help at all. Same tablet works great with a windows based laptop and the following generation imac. I'm using the following connection scheme for connecting tablet to the imac:
tablet dvi-I -> adapter to dvi-d (included with tablet) -> dvi-d to mini dvi-d adapter -> imac. imac does not have a port for direct dvi-I connection. Again, same connection scheme works just fine on the next model of imac.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this problem? Could it be an older version of OS?
Thanks in adavnce.

Since you say that it won't work with a first gen iMac, but works with "next model", have you considered installing a earlier version of a driver? Could it be that the latest driver isn't being recognized? I know that it said "10.4/10.5", but I ran into a problem with some third party software updater that simply would not work with my 10.4.11 even though it stated 10.4/10.5 and once I reverted back to the previous version, everything worked as it should.

My wireless keyboard no longer connects with my iMac since changing the batteries. It now shows as not connected, not paired and not configured. A friend recently connected his iPad to the iMac and since then the problem started. Any ideas to resolve this

a friend told me that he wants my os x cd for my macbook pro to upgrade his imac.
The discs that come with your Mac are "machine specfic" and cannot be used on another Mac.

I downloaded OS X Lion on my iMac and I'm having problems with my computer waking up after hibernating. I can get to the login screen but my mouse will be frozen. The only fix's is a hard reboot. Any help would be great!

Try resetting the SMC and the PRAM.
1. SMC
Read this and follow the instructions for your kind of mac:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
2. PRAM
Follow the procedure below:
1. Power down the machine.
2. Locate the following keys on your keyboard in preparation for Step 4:
command–option–P–R
3. Press the ‘power on’ button.
4. Immediately – and before the grey screen appears – hold down ‘command-option-P-R’ all together.
5. Keep them held down until you’ve heard the start-up chime twice. After you release them you should hear it again, and hopefully your Mac will boot up as it should normally.

I have an Itel based iMac on which I created a Wifi network using Airport. My iPhone5 uses the Wifi on my iMac and still works.My problem is that I can't remember the Wifi password and it is not in my Keychain.

Read the router's user manual on how to change your password.
If you are going to select another password, make sure it's one that you will NEVER forget AND no one else can figure it out. Print it out & keep in a safe place. A place that ONLY you know about AND never forget.

Problems with a Wacom Cintiq tablet after upgrade to Yosemite

I have a 15-in MacBook Pro Late-2013 Retina with 2.6GHz i7 Processor, 16GB RAM. I recently upgraded to Yosemite, 10.10.2, and then reinstalled my drivers for my Wacom Cintiq 12WX Tablet. Now, startup takes 10-15 seconds longer than before - not a huge deal, but noticeable. Also, when I attempt to start the computer with the tablet plugged in (via USB and Mini DisplayPort), startup hangs indefinitely, displaying a blank screen on both devices with only a cursor visible, for as long as 15 to 20 minutes, and never less than 10 minutes. When it finally responds, it has automatically logged in as a "guest," requiring logout and login again as the primary user.
Anything known about this issue? I'm a professional artist and it's really spoiling my workflow. I'd like to avoid rolling back my OS if possible, but maybe I'll have to do so.

Hi,
I am having that message, always if I delete a Sheet which contains an embeded query.
Even the sheet is deleted, the SAPBEX has information of all the embeded queries, and tries to find the Result area to put the data.
To find out if this is your case as well,
select an empty cell in a Sheet and continue like that, until all the embeded queries are been displayed.
Regards

Wacom Cintiq tool problems with illustrator CC 2014

This is the first time I have ever posted in a forum. I am having the weirdest issue with my Wacom Cintiq 12wx and Illustrator. It seems to work fine with every other Adobe program I use but I need it most for illustrator.
Description of the issue: When using in illustrator (only on the cintiq monitor) any tool I select will flash the Selection Tool. When I try to use a tool it pulls to some point way to the left (off of the screen). Example: when using the brush tool I place the wacom pen on the tablet and it appears to do nothing but when I zoom way out it reveals that the brush has created straight diagonal lines way to the left that don't make sense with the movement of the pen.
I have attempted to fix this issue many times in the past two months. Initially I uninstalled the wacom driver and then reinstalled. I then shut down my iMac and rebooted it. This seemed to work for a while. However the next time I shut down my machine and restarted it the problem was back. It is hit or miss if the reinstall works or not.
I have scoured the forums and haven't found anything that has been similar in the issue. Would love to hear if anyone has an idea. My work and sanity depends on it.
Thanks

There have been other instances of this issue. I don't remember if there was a fix or what it was unfortunately.

Crashes with Mac Pro and Wacom Cintiq?

Anyone else here running a Mac Pro with a Wacom Cintiq? I am having issues with this configuration since I updated to 10.5.3. Mac OS X would crash while I am using the Cintiq.
I have an 8-Core Mac Pro (Early 2008) with the stock ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT with 256MB GDDR3 memory (two dual-link DVI). I got a Wacom Cintiq 20WSX and I am running it as a secondary display with a 30" Apple Cinema Display. I mainly use Adobe Flash CS3 to do animation.
I was able to run with this set up for a month trouble-free until I noticed it crashing (gray curtain of death) recently. That was when I updated to 10.5.3.
I tried to downgrade back to 10.5.1 and found that the set up runs more stable with that version. However, I have some apps (such as Aperture 2) that I need to run, hence my persistence in running under 10.5.3, or 10.5.4 even.
I have the latest Wacom Tablet driver installed, by the way.
I just wanted to know if anyone else have this same set up but is having no issues. I would love to know what settings they are using that makes their setup trouble free. Or am I out of luck and should just revert back to 10.5.1?
Thanks.

Hey, hopfully anyone here could possible help me with this...
I have a MBP and when I bought a Wacom Cintiq half a year ago, Wacom told me already that there are problems with the NVIDIA 8600M GT. At the beginning everything run normal. Whenever I used the Cintiq to draw or just as a second monitor. BUT whenever I didn't connect it to my MBP my Intuos was not recognized (the tablet prefs where not in the System Preferences). As soon as I plug in the Cintiq and would un-plug it right after, the Intuos is recongized (and the Wacom prefs where in the System Preferences). When I installed the latest Wacom software (I un-installed the old one before), it seemed to work. I started my computer and it recognized the Intuos straight and the Wacom prefs, YES! BUT since yesterday, I believe the first time I used the Cintiq since I installed the new Wacom drivers, the same problem appeared again. In my System Preferences I get the message, "A USB tablet was not found when the system started....". This is driving me insane, to basically need a second monitor to plug in first in order to use my tablet?!?!?! This way I am not able to use my tablet when I am mobile and that is a big handicap....
Thanks.

Does the Macbook retina work with the Wacom Cintiq tablets?

I have the original Wacom Cintiq 21". Will the MacBook Retina work with this?

Yes - I have a 2012 MacBook Air and it works with a dual-link dvi adaptor only otherwise you'll end up with a lower resolution.
Took a while to work out, but works very well. It's also expensive
The Hdmi only supports 1080 and not the full 2560 x 1080. The other cables are useless.
It also works on windows 8 using boot amp
Hope this helps

IMac And Firewire Solo - Power Problem

Hi!
I got an iMac and a M-audio Firewire Solo audio interface. I wanted this interface to be powered by the current adaptor and NOT by the iMac.
M-audio says that if I plug it with a 6pin cable the computer will power the interface (not using the adaptor). So Can I avoid iMac to power the interface? I mean by stopping the firewire power or something..
thanks!!!

The easiest way would probably be to put a pair of 6 pin to 4 pin adaptors (of opposite "genders") into the cable run, or to use a 6 pin to 4 pin cable with a single 4 to 6 pin adaptor on the end of it, vivajam. THis should cut the power supply from the Mac to the device.
http://www.granitedigital.com/catalog/pg20_firewiregenderadapters.htm seem to have the sort of thying you would need.

Problem Adobe Bridge 64 bit or 32 bit and Wacom Intuos tablets on Win 7 or 8

I've recently started using the Wacom Intuos 5 tablet both at work and at home. I've enjoyed the experience for the most part, except for this one problem with Adobe Bridge. I use the 64 bit version, but even in 32 bit the problem was apparent. This problem appears in both Windows 7 and Windows 8.
The Problem
After launching Bridge, attempting to select an image seems to lock the application. You cannot select, double click, anything. If you enable your mouse, the cursor becomes active and acts as if you had held down the mouse button and were dragging over objects.
The Solution
After much searching I finally came across this link on Wacom's support site. It seems that if you have Windows Sticky Notes open, as I did on both machines, the Wacom tablet doesn't work as it should. I didn't realize that Sticky Notes allowed for pen input on the notes, which I discovered attempting to edit text on them.
Shutting down Sticky Notes does indeed fix the Wacom issue. The real question is why Bridge cares if Sticky Notes is open.

I'm having the same exact issue you've described here except that I don't use windows sticky notes
Anyone know if there are other applications that cause a similar issue?
Thanks.

Imac and external projector resolution problem!!!!!

hello! I´ve benn using an imac24" for about 4 months. When I attached my projector with a capasity for 1024x768 85Hz while my imac´s is 1920x1200.
My problem is that I want my imac to use it´s highest resolution at 1920x1200 while my projector is using 1024x768. Is that posible, and if, how would I make it happen?
//Wilhelmsson.
Imac 24", core 2 duo Mac OS X (10.4.10)

You can only do this if you have the system set for "extended desktop", where the images on the two screens will be different. If you want to run the system in "mirroring" mode, where the iMac's screen is duplicated on the projector, then the resolutions have to match, so you'll have to reduce the iMac's screen to 1024x768 to match the maximum resolution of your projector.

I have just bought an imac and I am having problem with my camera. The image is kind of distorted and coloured lines everywhere. I have updated softwares and applications and restarted the computer but it didn't help. What to do?

what to do?

shauney,
From your description of the problem, it sounds like you have a hardware/camera defect. My recommendation is to return your imac to where-ever you bought it, and have them deal with, or replace your computer with one that functions as it is supposed to. You should not have to suffer with this situation on a new computer, although it does sometimes happen.

OS X 10.7.3 WiFi Update for iMacs and Wake from Sleep Problem

http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1501
Apple has released a software update for those suffering from the iMac wake from sleep/wifi connection issue that resulted from updating to 10.7.3. It fixes the problem for me and several others. For those still suffering this issue, download it and see how it works!

To answer my own question it seems a workaround is to wake the iMac up using the power button rather than the keyboard. The WiFi reconnects this way.

Moving notes from iphone to iMac and cleaning up cloud problems

First off let me say I've had a very hard time finding any documentation of cloud services. It's been very frustrating tying to figure out what's going on.
I decided I wanted all of my apple devices to be sync'ed for the main apps I use (notes, reminder, calander, and contacts). During the startup process for using cloud services a number of questions were asked and I'm sure due to my lack of understanding of cloud services I made mistakes. The end result is I ended up with many duplicate entries. Trying to clean up the duplicates caused more problems.
Here's where I am:
on iPhone:
good copy of notes
good copy of contacts
reminders look sync'ed with iPhone
calancer seems to look sync'ed with iMac
on iMac:
a few notes on cloud but many gone when I tried to clean up duplicate notes on iPhone
good copy of contacts on cloud (I deleted all entries "on my Mac")
reminder seems to look sync'ed with iPhone
calancer seems to look sync'ed with iPhone
Here's what I'd like to have:
on iPhone:
keep good copy of notes but have it on cloud
good copy of contacts from cloud (basically what iMac now has from cloud)
reminder on cloud and synced with iMac
calancer on cloud (may already be)
on iMac:
good copy of notes from iPhone that are on cloud (currently not so)
keep current icloud copy (still shows "on my Mac" although I deleted all entries)
reminder on cloud and synced with iPhone
calancer on cloud (may already be)
On both the iPhone and iMac I have cloud services on for all the main apps except mail. I don't know what cloud services will mean for mail as I'm not using the apple supplied email account(again no doc to tell me what happens).
What I don't want to happen is to lose my notes or contacts. I'd be very unhappy. My notes have been generated almost exclusively on my iPhone.
I still need to turn on cloud services for my iPad but will wait till I straighten out the above mess. I don't want to confuse things any more than they arleady are.
Can anyone please help my achieve what I layed out above. I would be most appreciative.

Can anyone suggest how to get my questions/problems resolved. I'd go to a local apple store but I can only carry my iphone which won't help much with the imac.
