Macbook Pro, Leopard, & Graphire4--it doesn't work

I have been reading the posts for the wacom tablets, and I have deleted the tablet driver, repaired permissions on the HD, installed the lasted driver from the Wacom site, have a powered hub, since the hub on the macbook doesn't have enough power, and I have restarted the computer. All of this is done on my Macbook Pro with Leopard. When I click the pen tablet in preferences, it says a supported tablet can not be found. Does anyone have a solution? I'm at my wit's end with this.

I have MBP-17, Leopard 10.5.2, Wacom PenTabletDriver 5.0.5-3, and it seems to be working fine (also in 10.5.1), from powered hub and directly plugged. Didn't have trouble on PBG4-12/Tiger, either, with lower USB power.
This sounds like bus power problems. Have you tried resetting the SMC followed by a couple of unplugged cold reboots, then hot-plugging the Wacom by itself to a different USB port than usual? That should help calibrate problematic bus power tolerances... see these articles:

    Theres almost a trick to it for first time users, goto SETTINGS...General......Cellular (if Verizon) ....Personal Hotspot, turn it on.....turn on wifi on your Mac, select your Iphone.  Enter password.
    If you take too long doing it, youll need turn turn off and on real quick the "personal hotspot" slider on the Phone.......then go quick again thur the Mac.

  • MacBook Pro DVI-HDMI 1080p doesn't work correctly

    Hello,
    I've just bought new Samsung LCD TV LE40B550. This TV is Full HD and support 1080p. I've connected it via DVI (macbook pro) -> HDMI (TV) cable. It works ok, when I set 1080i. But when I set up 1080p, it shows few dots (pixels) on TV not correctly. The picture is not that good as 1080i. Shouldn't it be reversely? The 1080p should be 1080i, shouldn't be?

    You probably want to post this in the MacBook Pro forum:

  • Core i7-2720QM on Macbook pro 2011: Turbo Boost doesn't work! It's possible?

    I test my core speed with MacCPUID that show real time cpu frequency. I try it in normal condition and running extreme application. Everytime my cpu frequency is something like 2.199 - 2.200 but never more than 2.200 ghz.
    So I have to think that Turbo bost is not active on macbook pro and all the things in apple website about this feature are false!
    Is it possibile? Who knows something more about this?
    Greetings,
    Stefano

    Yes, there is Turbo Boost active on all MacBook Pros. There is no real way to measure turbo boost unless you're in BootCamp, using Intel's Turbo Boost Monitor. The Intel website states that not all CPU measuring software will correctly display the turbo frequency because it's either not current, or doesn't support turbo boost. If you have BootCamp installed go ahead and search Intel Turbo Boost Widget. download, and install it, this will give you correct results. You can't really measure turbo in OS X.

  • The macbook pro keyboard media buttons doesn't work for itunes

    hi,
    since i installed the snow leopard the buttons doesn't control (play, stop, forward...) the itunes.

    Hey ARM77,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    There is a few things I will suggest to hopefully fix this issue for you.
    1. Is mass storage mode currently enabled when you hook your BlackBerry to the Mac?  If not please read KB13564.
    2. Is your iTunes updated to the very latest version?
    3. Verify that your media card has a sufficient amount of memory available for the playlists. To check this, perform the following:
    In BlackBerry® Desktop Manager, click Device Options. On the Media tab, decrease the amount of memory that is kept free for files other than your music files.
    than your music files.

  • Installing Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro if DVD drive doesn't work

    My superdrive is very finicky, and I don't want to risk an install with it if it decides to kick the DVD out halfway through the install. Can I connect to my iMac and install VIA firewire? I tried this today but the install seemed to stall and wouldn't progress. I had to do a hard restart which I know neither machine liked very much. Ideas? Advice?

    You can connect them via Firewire cable. Both machines must be Intel models. Boot the MBP into Target Disk Mode. Boot the iMac from the OS X Installer DVD:
    Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
    1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
    2. Restart the computer.
    3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
    4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
    5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
    Proceed to the screen where you select the destination drive. Select your MBP's disk drive then click on the Option button. Select the Erase and Install option then click on the OK button. Complete your installation.
    When finished Eject the MBP's disk drive from the iMac. Shut down the MBP and remove the Firewire cable.

  • Macbook Pro SD Card reader doesn't work

    Hey all. A few weeks ago I plugged in my SD card like I've always done, but my SD reader didn't work. I've tried SMC reset and PRAM reset. Nothing works. The SD reader doesn't show up in apple system profiler nor in Disc Utility. I've tried different SD cards.
    What can be done?

    i tried that since Yosemite killed my SD Card reader... its so annoying. i don't even know if its a hardware or software issue. however, the check didn't worked... and all my 3 SD Cards are working well...

  • Macbook Pro 15" - clamshell mode doesn't work after installing Mavericks

    So I've upgraded to Mavericks, but my late 2011 MBP 15" has stopped working in clamshell mode (closed lid with external display on) – display just does not detect an input after closing the lid. Anyone experienced this?

    This was het same problem as in upgrade to Mountain Lion before... Apparently the NVRAM reset should fix this (PRAM-reset for non-intel based macs)
    >>>
    OK, after upgrading to 10.8.2 and then doing a PRAM reset gives me clamshell mode back!

  • I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro and the superdrive has stopped working, it won't take discs in as if there is one already inside but iTunes or the dvd player doesn't recognise that there is a disc inside and if there is it can't be ejected

    I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro and the superdrive has stopped working, it won't take discs in as if there is one already inside but iTunes or the dvd player doesn't recognise that there is a disc inside and if there is it can't be ejected, i have tried shutting down and restartinf while holding down the trackpad, as recommended on some forums but that has done nothing
    It might be a huge coincidence but the drive was working fine before i installed lion?

    Installing Lion would not cause the superdrive to stop working.  Are you unsure as to whether or no a cd/dvd is inside?  Something may be broken inside and you should consider bringing it in for service.
