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.

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:

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.

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,

Anybody use a Ugee M708 graphics tablet?

I have a Ugee M708 graphics tablet, and the pressure control is acting wonky on me. When the pressure control works my pen calibration is off, and when the calibration is good the pressure control doesn't register. I've uninstalled and re-installed the drivers a couple of times now and I've searched other forums for answers. I've found threads with the same issue but there are no solutions posted and in some the poster says it got fixed but doesn't say how. It all works fine in the tablet setting panel and all other functions of the tablet work great in photoshop. I'm using a laptop with windows 8.1, and it has a touch screen. I don't know if I'm missing something or if the driver needs to be updated. If anybody could help, I would greatly appreciated.

basically you have to remove the driver then reinstal it again.
Here is the response from support:
Please do the following:
1. Find the tablet in Control Panel- Programs - Programs and Features - PenTabletSetting.
2. You may see the little icon in your task tray, which is in the lower right corner of your computer. If not, follow step on to open tablet control panel, check Show icon in task tray.
3. Uninstall all the other tablet drivers on your computer, restart your computer and then follow the steps below:
1. Get the installation package from the disc or download from the official website. http://ugee.net/download.asp
2. Extract the tablet and unzip the installation package, find the ‘setup.exe’ driver.
3. Before installing, please make sure the tablet has connected to the computer.
4. When installing the driver, please do not change the installation directory and install the driver in C drive.
5. When you have finished the installation process, please restart the computer. Once the tablet has been distinguished, a little blue icon will show up in the lower right corner.
6. Open the driver icon, start to take the pressure test. If it is normal, then the driver has been installed correctly.

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...

How do I install my custom, self-created graphic Persona / Theme that I use on my XP computers on my Win7Firefox?

How do I install my custom, self-created graphic Persona / Theme that I use on my XP computers on my Windows 7 Firefox? (Firefox 17.0.1 Windows 7 64bit Home Edition? (There is, as far as I can tell, no "little fox" icon visible in the lower left!) I am using a downloaded "Persona", or "Theme" ((I sure wish you people would not change important terminology at the drop of a hat!)) and it is working fine.....

You will have to install the Persona Plus extension to easily install a persona via its files instead of via internet.

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.
These people have no problems with art on iPad:

Any of the cheaper Wacom tablets. Most other inexpensive tablets are designed more for text input than graphics.

Leopard won't install on PowerMac g4 AGP graphics

Leopard won't install on PowerMac g4 AGP graphics (2) which was pimped to 1.5 ghz with Sony dual power drive with 100 GB internal HD currently happy running on OS X 10.4.10 Tiger, the rest of the G5s (6) was upgraded bautifully. Again anybody out there with slick idea on how to deal with this leftover G4. The Leopard disk simply say " OS X 10.5 can not be installed on this computer" end of story if we insist on trying other ways the machine simply blank-out ( you know the dreaded question mark and the happy face folder). Our IT Guy is ready to chop-shop these machine and has painted himself in a corner on this matter, so I sent out this S.O.S.…I guest the world can help…anybody please.

If you have a corp IT department can't you convince them to refresh your machine more than once every 8 years? Most corporate machines are refreshed every 3 years... 8 is 2 2/3 times normal life. Maybe suggest a nice shiny new 24" iMac
