Installing a Cintiq 12wx on an iMac...

I got a DVI adaptor cable but it looks like I need a DVI-I which I can't find at the apple store. Is this right? And where do I find this DVI-I adaptor?
Cintiq really needs to update their manual to aknowledge the existence of iMacs.

I spent $40 on the cable Gizmodo uses and it's not working. I can see the desktop background image appear on the tablet, but nothing else shows up. All I can do is calibrate the pen and create empty folders.
This might be a long shot, but are you basically trying to use this as a second monitor? Have you checked your "mirroring" settings? Your description above sounds like what one sees when mirroring is turned off. Is that what you wanted? Try turning mirroring on inside the Diplays (or Monitors) System Preferences, what happens then? Mirroring on should show exactly the same thing on both monitors.
With mirroring off, one should be able to drag things across from one monitor to the other and back with a mouse or pen (if it is being used as the mouse). (And if I have misunderstood how the Cintiq 12wx is intended to be used, I apologize ...)

  • Display Undetected: Cintiq 12WX to iMac via DVI + Mini Displayport Adapter Thunderbolt

    Hello all. I'm connecting my Wacom Cintiq 12WX to an iMac 27-inch, Late 2013 (brand new) via a DVI cable connected to the iMac's thunderbolt port with a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. Returning a "No Sync" response on the tablet, iMac is not detecting the display.
    The cable is DVI-D (Dual Link), the adapter is DVI-D (Dual Link), and the port on the Wacom appears to be DVI-I (Dual Link) except with a vertical socket for "Analog Ground" connection which is missing in DVI-D – but from my understanding this shouldn't be an issue. Could be wrong, not my area of expertise.
    However, in the past I have used this device with a Late 2008 Macbook and a DVI to Mini DVI adapter to the Mini DisplayPort, back when Apple was pre-Thunderbolt, same cable and it worked like a charm.
    I've contacted Wacom's support, but they usually take a day or two to get back so I'm hoping someone here can shed some light.
    Thanks in advance.

    yeah thats how I connect my 24" dell
    minidisplayport is the same connector as thunderbolt

  • Cintiq 12wx Problem

    Hello All:
    I installed the Cintiq 12wx today. The tablet worked fine, except that now Photoshop and Illustrator crash every time they try to open. I was using them earlier today, so I know the only change to the system was the Tablet. I see that people had problems with previous versions of Photoshop and WACOM. Does anyone know a work around? How do I get my Photoshop and Illustrator back? Obviously, this is quite frustrating.
    Jason

    Well, I reduced this one to reproducible proportions, and I don't think this problem just occurred today: it has always been there.
    If I hit the R key and actually do a rotation, the switch to the Rotate View tool is temporarily, as it should be.
    If I hit the R key and release it without doing a rotation, the switch is permanent; I believe this is a bug.
    Could anyone reproduce this behaviour?

  • Problems with installing Wacom cintiq drawing tablet?

    I recently bought the Macbook Pro with retina screen. I already own a Wacom cintiq 12wx, which I have owned since 2010, and only used on PC's with Windows, using a VGA cable.
    I wanted to install it on my macbook and bought a Mini displayPort to Dual-link DVI adapter, because it was recommended in the Cintiq manual. I have installed the tablet many times on PC's without trouble, and have been in contact with Wacom support, who reassured me that the installation process was done correctly, so that is not the problem.
    Since the cintiq is a tablet with a display it must be installed in two stages. The first stage you simply plug it in and the computer will recognize it as an external screen.
    then you install the driver and it will work as a tablet and a display.
    So I plugged all the cables off the tablet in, turned the tablet and the Mac on. The screen mirrored to the tablet, and showed up in the Mac display menu.
    I could not at the moment install the driver, I had no internet to download it, so I waited.
    After ten days the internet was fixed. I attached all cables from the adapter to the mac, when they where both off, and turned them on, expecting the screen to mirror to the tabelt as usual. However I only got the message "no sync" "going to sleep" from the tablet wich went to stand by mode. I thought maybe installing the driver would fix it, and I did that, but the tablet still didn't have any screen. However the tablet recognized the pen, and moved the mouse on the Mac screen, with the tablet screen black.
    What is wrong?
    After that I uninstalled the driver, hoping to reset and try again, But even after the driver was uninstalled, the tablet recognized the pen and the mouse moved on the Mac screen. However the mac did not recognize it as an external display, and I couldn't find it listed anywhere in the Mac ( take into consideration I am new to the mac system, and did not really know where to look). If I want to install it from the beginning again, don't I need to remove it completely from the system?
    When I talked to Wacom support they could not help me much, but from my explanation they figured there was nothing wrong with most cables. The only things they couldn't be sure about was the DVI adapter (which is completely new, and probably not the problem) and the DVI to mini dual link adapter I bought from Apple. However it definetely worked the first time, so could it just suddenly fail?
    So my conclusion.
    - is it possible to reset the whole installation process, and do it again from the beginning, maybe with the same result as first time?
    - Or is it more likely that the adapter is the problem? And which should I buy instead?
    Please help

    All it says there is at least 10.5.8. A new Mini would be 10.8.5 so I'd think it would work. You'd need a CD/DVD drive and there's no guarantee how well it will perform with the Intel graphics of a Mini, but I read posts from people in the Photoshop forums at Adobe who use Wacom tablets with MBPs and iMacs all the time.

  • Can i connect my cintiq 12wx to my Macbook pro 2011 through the thunderbolt using the mini display port to vga adaptor?

    I just bought my cintiq 12wx and was wonderding if i can connect it to my macbook pro 2011 through the thurderbolt using a mini displayport to vga adaptor? Please help!

    Yes, it should work with a mini-displayport to VGA adapter.  Since a 12wx also can take DVI you could use a mini-displayport to DVI adapter instead.  Why go analog when you can keep it in digital!
    I guess the usb is for the pen.

  • I can't install Windows 8.1 on my Imac with Mavericks using Bootcamp. Why?

    I can't install Windows 8.1 on my Imac 27" with Mavericks using Bootcamp. Why? I first did all the software updates needed, downloaded the driver software to a 32Gb flash drive formatted as FAT32, fired up Bootcamp Assistant, inserted the Windows 8.1 Full version 64 bit installation DVD as requested, and got as far as partitioning (tried this at 82 Gb for the Windows partition), then the MAC rebooted but halted before getting to the login page. Then a black screen came up with the error message: 'non-system disk - Press any key to reboot'. I did this and nothing happened. I was forced to shut down forcibly then restart with my finger held down on the option key. Then a screen came up with two icons: the macintosh HD icon and the Windows DVD icon. I double-clicked on the Windows DVD icon and the MAC came up with another black screen and error message: 'CDBoot: Couldn't find BOOTMGR'. Had to shut down forcibly again and restart as before, this time ejecting the Windows DVD first. Then I repartitioned my MAC back to all OSX. What the **** do I do now? Applecare couldn't help me beyond this point. They said to contact Microsoft. I notice a lot of other MAC owners have had similar problems.
    Please help? tagjsmith.

  • How do I install Premiere Elements 9 on my iMac?

    I cannot install Premiere Elements 9 on my new iMac from the DVDs I own and successfully used to install Premiere Elements 9 on my old PC with Windows 7.  The DVD auto-ejects and I get 5 warnings ("WARNING; Payload cannot be installed due to dependent operation failure") and 16 error messages of various cryptic content.
    I successfully installed Photoshop Elements 9 from the second DVD.  Note that the installation process for Premiere Elements 9  did not request a serial number.

    Bob
    Disc 2 Mac. This is Premiere Elements 9 Mac Content and does not require or ask for a serial number. As I have said, you do not install the Premiere Elements 9 Mac Content until after you have installed Premiere Elements 9 Mac program from Disc 1 Mac. If you have not installed the Premiere Elements 9 Mac program, you do not install Premiere Elements 9 Mac Content yet.
    Both Photoshop Elements 9 Mac and Premiere Elements 9 Mac programs are installed from Disc 1 Mac, one at a time and each have its own unique serial number. These serial numbers are found as stickers on the back of the plastic case that house the 4 disc set.
    There is no Photoshop Elements 9 Mac Content disc. Its content comes within the installation of the program. I have never run into the situation where Content disc asked for a serial number.
    Just a point of clarification on what I wrote in post 1...I have cited Disc 1, 2, 3, and 4. In reality, the discs read as follows
    Disc 1 Mac. For Photoshop Elements 9 and Premiere Elements 9 programs on Mac.
    Disc 2 Mac For Premiere Elements 9 Content Mac...to be used only after the program is installed from Disc 1.
    Disc 1 Windows. For Photoshop Elements 9 and Premiere Elements 9 programs on Windows.
    Disc 2 Windows. For Premiere Elements 9 Content Windows...to be used only after the program is installed from Disc 1.
    Bottom Line:
    You need a unique serial number for each of Premiere Elements 9 and Photoshop Elements 9. Do you have them?
    But, remember...
    Photoshop Elements 9 Mac and Photoshop Elements 9 Windows have the same serial number
    and
    Premiere Elements 9 Mac and Premiere Elements 9 Windows have the same serial number which is different for that used by Photoshop Elements.
    Do you have these serial numbers? If so, use Disc 1 Mac to try to install Premiere Elements 9 on your iMac with your purchased Premiere Elements 9 serial number.  I cannot assure the compatibility of Premiere Elements 9 Mac with your iMac but those considerations go beyond an installation considerations.
    Please review and consider. I hope that you are OK with the details.

  • Install Windows 8 Release Preview on imac

    any body install Windows 8 Release Preview on imac?

    Q: Do you have the CP installed now?
    If yes, then the Setup program will walk you through and download, move Windows to Windows.old (so you need about 40GB free space at least to accomplish, an 80GB partition) and no need to burn ISO (handy to have).
    When all is said and done, be sure to clean up disk and remove windows.old and install.esd package and installer package which take up 20GB + 6GB + 2GB.
    Not on iMac. I'd say it went smoothly though.
