Upgrading for Wacom Tablet.

Hope this makes sense. I have a PowerMac G4 QS, OSX 10.1.5, 800mhz, 1.5GB and something that reads pc 133.
Well here's the question. I use photoshop 7.0 and Illustrator 10 daily and most of the cgi's and illustrations are pretty big in size. I added memory to max but now that i have to purchase a new Wacom tablet they run sluggish and then fail to move altogether. As if something is not allowing me to use it properly. I called Mac Mall and The salesperson said i need to upgrade to a Tiger because 10.1.5 is not cutting it for the new tablets. I Really need a second, third any other opinion since my boss is going to buy it. I returned the last tablet i bought cause it just wasn't working like the one i had from like 4 years ago (sigh). Please help. Tablet reads: MacOS X 10.2.6 or later.
Hope this is the last thing i need to upgrade.
Thanks a bunch.

Moystar, welcome, I have a Wacom Intuos 2 Graphic Tablet at home and at work, I use Panther in both locations. I use PhotoShop CS, CS2, Freehand MX, and Painter 8 almost everyday.
And as you can see I have a older Graphic G4 (GE) with 1.5 MB rams and a 1.5 GB processor, the Wacom works fine I use it instead of the mouse to do almost everything.
If the Tablet reads: Mac OS X 10.2.6 or later, then I would recommend upgrading at least to Panther.
You can get the upgrades here. Any questions post back.

Security update 2011-011 caused problems for Wacom tablet

I have Wacom Bamboo Fun (model CTE-650) tablet, which have since worked well after every passed "security updates". However, after I installed new Security update 2011-011, it started to act weird. I can move pen pointer on screen, but cannot select anything and can't move windows etc..
I checked the disk, verified and repair permissions, and also tried to install most recent Wacom tablet driver but nothing have helped so far. Does anyone experienced this? Any solutions..?

I too have problem with my Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet (in this case the CTE-450). It acts as normal mouse, it does not map to the screen coordinates, only to up. down, left right movement.
When I open the Tablet preference pane, it tells me it does not detect any tablet. I restarted, and nothing. I reinstalled the latest driver (Driver 5.2.4-4(RC) for OS X 10.6, 10.5 & 10.4 (PPC & Intel) from 15 Feb 2011) and still does not work.
Apple... is it you who invalidated my valuable piece of hardware?

How to set pen pressure for Wacom tablet in AI if pressure greyed out

Wanted to share how to get pressure sensitive stroke in AICC. Go to "new brush" under brush window, and select "new calligriphic brush". There you will find it's settings, one of which is for pressure. However, it will remain greyed out unless you go to the Wacom tablet properties menu, and add AI to that list(AI must be open-then press the+ sign, and select it from the liset of open applications). Once you see AI in the applications menu, please select it. Then try creating the "new calligriphic brush" once again, and this time the pressure should be available!! Now play around with settings a bit (that's a must is you want a varied line).....took me an hour to figure this out-so hope this helps someone!!!!!

Well, it took me *some* time to get around to work on this, but I succeeded at my first attempt (amazing!), so here is my udev rule (I have followed partly pauldonnelly's suggestion and partly the wiki):
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{product}=="CTF-420 V2.0-0", SYMLINK+="tablet", MODE="0664"
Then I have configured my xorg.conf to look for the device on /dev/tablet.
I will put a SOLVED sign on this thread.
Thanks again, pauldonnelly

ICS Android upgrade for sony tablet P

hello would like to know when will the upgrade to the android ICS for the tablet P be available? tia
Solved!
Go to Solution.

does't suprise me at all sony needs more experienced beta testers really those that actualy use device bit more extreme then normal user would.
If something is stable in extreme conditions then its likely perfectly stable talking about actualy running lot apps leaving everything open and opening new tab for anything etc while doing normal every day tasks that everyone usualy does or more.
other then that they should probably test much longer have bit more patience while testing while perhaps testing 5 tablets at same time.
perhaps they could use some software that mirror commands they do to nearby tablets on a grid so they can even test 100 tablets at once to see which one gives in and randomly shutdown first.
or just to to have a different build on each tablet to see which one is most stable and which one fails so they can rule out bad builds.

Solution for Wacom Intous 4 tablet with LR 4.1?

I'm having a problem selecting and dragging files from the library grid onto folders using my pen and mouse on the Wacom Intuos 4 tablet.
I tried repeatedly to select all rejects from a shoot and drag them to a separate folder. When clicking and dragging with the Wacom pen or mouse, all that happens is that I deselect the rejects I just selected in the previous step (Edit > Select by flag > Rejects). Really frustrating.
I tried to do the same with the standard Apple mouse with no problems, with the mouse I'm allowed to click and drag without deselecting my selection in the process - so the issue seems to be isolated to the Wacom.
I have just updated to the latest Wacom driver under Os X Lion, but the issue persists, and I haven't experienced any other bugs with this driver. So I'm not sure if the issue is with the driver or LR.
Anyone else having the same issue - and have you been able to find a cure for this?

Where did you get the driver? Did you load it from the CD that came with the tablet or did you download it from Wacom's web site? I never bother with the driver on the CD and always download the latest from Wacom.
I have two Wacom tablets that are working just fine with 10.4.11. One's an Intuos2 using version 4.9.6-3 of Wacom's driver. The other's some older Graphire tablet, though the driver may be newer, since the computer itself is newer (it's not handy to look at right now).
Do you see the tablet listed in your System Profiler results? That's the "More Info..." button in the "About this Mac" box under the Apple menu.

I am trying to install the driver for a Wacom Bamboo Pad. The dmg from Wacom downloadsand will opens, but when I try to install it the message "Install Wacom Tablet.pkg" can't be opened because the Identity of the developer cannot be conﬁrmed"

iMac late 2009 3,06GHz Intel Core Duo; 500gb hard drive, 12gb memory. OS X 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)
'“Install Wacom Tablet.pkg" can't be opened because the Identity of the developer cannot be conﬁrmed.'
I have been trying to install the driver for a Wacom Bamboo Pad. There are several driver packages listed on the website (the device is supplied ready to run with Windows devices) and I have tried tried downloading all the available drivers which apply to my set-up. Some will not open at all and I get a 'Damaged' message on my screen. Of the ones which open, I can download the .dmg and expand it but when clicked it opens as a window with multiple choice of languages and an icon which instructs you to click to open.
If I do this some versions repeat the 'damaged' message but the later ones generate a window saying:-
'“Install Wacom Tablet.pkg" can't be opened because the Identity of the developer cannot be conﬁrmed.' - this is as far as I can get it to go; most frustrating!
I understand that Apple's security updates have recently included an alteration that causes this result, and that there is supposed to be a legal (i.e. Apple sanctioned) workaround to allow files like this to be opened. If this is so, can anyone enlighten me?

Many Thanks, Kurt.
I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …
You have made an old man very happy and saved me from worrying that senile decay had suddenly set in. (I was 70 last week so you might understand the situation from that.)

I just downloaded my wacom tablet onto my mac, but I cannot open the drawing apps that come with it. When i search the appstore for one, i cannot find any. Help?

I really have no clue on how to proceed furthur than this, could someone please help?

I'm not clear what you mean by "downloaded my wacom tablet"? Do you have a Wacom tablet? Software for it would be on the Wacom website, not in the Mac App Store (although I know that there are apps in the MAS that could use the tablet).
Visit Wacom if you're looking for drivers for your tablet -> http://www.wacom.com/en/us?gclid=CPj_sPKasrwCFelZ7AodnA0A7w.
Good luck,

Best Adobe CC program for drawing with a tablet (not an iPad) - a wacom tablet, that is connected to a lap top.

I've got access to Adobe CC and have a Wacom tablet that I would like to start using more. I understand, there is Adobe Line, for iPad use, which will not work- I don't have an iPad. It seems PhotoShop and Illustrator are my best options but they don't seem to have the features that other software offers such as Corel... Is there an Adobe CC option that I am not seeing?

What features?
A wacom tablet works fine with Photoshop and Illustrator.

Photoshop CS4 brush lag with wacom tablet

I've upgraded to photoshop CS4 extended recently and all my brushes that worked fine under CS3 are now with a real lag.
I've installed the latest version of photoshop ( Adobe Photoshop CS4 11.0.1 update ) and the latest update for my wacom tablet, but the lag remains.
My computer is a new "24 imac:
- 2,66 GHz intel Core 2 duo processor
- 4 GB memory
- NVIDIA GeForce 9400
I use my tablet and photoshop a lot, but with this lag it's terrible to draw..
Is there someone who can help me with this or has the same problems ?
thanks in advance

Glad I could be of service.
Speaking of services, if you are running Vista or Windows 7 (not XP) you should turn off tablet services too. They automatically start if you install a Wacom driver on these Os'es, and they can also cause hiccups and lag in Photoshop CS4.
You have to be logged in with admin privleges.
Go to Control Panel->System and Security->Administrative Tools->Services
Open 'Tablet PC Input Service'
Stop the service and select 'Disabled' as the startup type.
You'll know you got it because the annoying 'ripple' effect will go away when you touch the pen to the tablet, and the pop-up keyboard will go away. Of course, if you actually are running on a tablet PC then don't do this.

10.5.6 and Wacom Tablet

After upgrading to 10.5.6 on my 2006 mac pro, my wacom tablet is no longer recognizable. I tried switching USB ports and upgrading the drivers and restarting my computer. It will no longer recognize that I have one connect. My tablet still lights up though. I have the Intuos3. Anybody know how to solve this? I need my tablet for artwork that I produce at home. Any help would be appreciated!!

First contact Wacom about the problem. It could well be that the new version of OS X is simply incompatible with older version Wacom tablet drivers. If that be the case then you can try downgrading to the previous version of OS X via an Archive and Install:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Photoshop CC work area troubleshooting on wacom tablet

Hi I have a very odd problem going on with photoshop cc while using my wacom tablet. For the most part it runs fine with no real problems whatsoever. I can work on photoshop normally until I move my cursor away from the wacom screen, back to my MacBook, and click out of the program. Once I do this the work area in photoshop disappears. specifically meaning the window where my current file is being made goes blank. everything around the work area appears the same, like the tools, tabs, etc. My only solution to this problem is to turn off and on the wacom tablet. It works fine after that until I click out of the program again. Its getting pretty annoying to deal with now so any help would be super appreciated. I will post pics to give you guys an example when I get the chance. Posting from my phone right now.
here are my specs:
Macbook Pro 15-inch
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB
OSX 10.9.2 (13C64)
Cintiq 13 HD

Is it just slow drawing, or is actual computation (image size, rotate, GBlur, etc.) also slow?
If the slowdown is drawing, then the most likely culprit would be the video card driver. Update your driver from the GPU maker's website.
If the computation slows down, then something is interfering with Photoshop. We've seen some third party plugins, and some antivirus software cause slowdowns over time.

Using a serial Wacom tablet on a Mac Pro

I have a good Wacom tablet with serial port interface that I would like to connect to a Mac Pro.
Is there some way to do this? Is there any sort of serial to usb adapter or would that not work with a Mac Pro?
Thanks for any advice.

I don't think so. See these knowledge base articles from Wacom:
