Wacom / Bamboo CTL-470, Sensitivity Issue After 4~ secs

Hey guys.
I'm using a Bamboo CTL-470 tablet that has a pretty significant issue that does not exist in Windows (this is a dual boot system and I've tested it just this morning to confirm). After installing using https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=131831 to install the tablet, I can confirm the tablet does indeed work in X. This can be shown using MyPaint, Gimp, even using the tablet as a mouse temporarily.
The only problem that I cannot dodge seems to involve the sensitivity. It seems every four to five seconds when drawing a straight line the tablet completely loses it's ability to make a mark for all of a split second, and then it begins writing again at a much less sensitive rate.. which, it's worth noting, I haven't changed how hard my pen is pressing on the tablet at this point.
I'm not sure how else to describe it other than the above, but I can tell you it makes drawing virtually impossible if you're wanting long, smooth lines.
I can tell you this seems to be a sensitivity issue because if I disable sensitivity and try drawing with it as a sketch w/ no differences in how hard the pen is being pressed, the pen continues writing smooth, long lines.
Having top running while MyPaint is going shows python 2.7 is running around 9% CPU while the tablet is in use. And it doesn't seem there are any other processes that would give issue every four to five seconds.. ??
I'll try about anything to prevent logging back into Windows just to draw. Any suggestions?

Okay, totally not sure whether or not to mark this 'solved' because this does indeed help the sensitivity issue, but there's another problem that is worth talking about.
Since using this wacom.ko and installing it (like mentioned in another Wacom thread I've been replying to), it seems suddenly the mouse in X / KDE 4.8 goes absolutely haywire and shoots to the left side of the screen, and the tablet will work but then the mouse will shoot off to the left side again. The only fix to this I'm aware of for the interim, interestingly, is by hitting CTRL+ALT+F1 and then CTRL+ALT+F7 to come back to X, which the mouse and tablet both function normally again.
Besides the fact the screen also goes absolutely haywire and shoots through all of the virtual desktops (I've 4 of them), Yakuake reports an up arrow ASCII being sent over and over and over.
In an hour period, the tablet causing the mouse to go crazy has happened automagically without my input four times. I don't seem to do anything to trigger it, either.. the mouse just kind of randomly starts going nuts.
Does this happen to anyone else? Suggestions to fix it?
** EDIT: The QPainter issue was not related to this, therefore it's removal from this thread is required. One word: QMMP.

Trackpad Sensitivity Issue After Snow Leopard Upgrade

I have a Late 2008 MBP/2.53 Ghz and prefer to use tap to click/2 finger secondary tap.
After upgrading to Snow Leopard (to v.10.6.6 as a clean install), linked webpages and files/folders often open when a second finger touches the trackpad accidentally even when pressed very gently.
The same happens if a third finger touches the trackpad if I am scrolling through a page with 2 fingers. Sometimes when pausing/hovering over a link, part of the page surrounding the hyperlink will highlight and can sometimes the link will activate without any additional accidental touch. I have slowed down the tracking and double click speed in preferences, but this makes no difference.
The funny thing is, some days the problems are worse than other days, the trackpad seems to have a mind of it's own! These issues never happened with Leopard, and it is very frustrating.
Post SL upgrade, I have also noticed that the Magsafe adapter sometimes needs a little wiggle before it will start charging, and occasionally, the red 'close' symbol at the top left of the page does not always activate and I have to start tapping elsewhere before trying to close the page again.
My parents have SL installed natively on their MBP (Spring 2010), and their MBP does not encounter any of these problems.
Disk Utility shows Javavirtualmachine differences, which I trust can be ignored as the differences are non critical, or could these issues be having an effect on SL?
I have AppleCare which expires in November and I want this sorted out asap. I could just revert back to using Leopard, but as I have paid £30 for Snow Leopard it would be a waste of money.
I'm not sure whether my AppleCare cover these issues seeing as SL wasn't natively installed on the Mac when purchased?
If anyone can help with these issues it would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks

After installing SL, i cannot get wellsfargo "account login" to work for any account of mine, other financial secure sites work fine, i.e. fidelity or vanguard, I can access the main screen of wellsfargo but login fails ... screen i get says Safari can't connect to the server and as follows: "Safari can’t open the page “https://online.wellsfargo.com/das/cgi-bin/session.cgi?" plus some more gibberish stuff.... i tried switching to firefox and it works fine .... never had any trouble before ..... tried safari reset, safari empty cache, and maintenace that applied ...... still no luck!! hope they get this bug fixed , my other computer an older mac mini works fine. any help????? never had any problem before SL

Help! Blur tool issues with Adobe CC/Windows 8/Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet

Hi everyone, would really appreciate your help with something frustrating. I have been using Adobe CC quite happily since it was released, but after upgrading to a faster desktop that runs Windows 8, for some reason the Blur tool is playing up. I've upgraded drivers and cleared caches but it keeps happening sporadically. Sometimes it will work, sometimes it wont. My pc isn't the fastest in the world (ie not video editing speeds) but is perfectly competent to run Photoshop; I've run the program on slower machines and am used to the lag that happens there, so this is something different.
What happens; the blur tool is slow, and inaccurate to the extent of being unusable. When I attempt to blur out a section, for example a section of background, it will instead blur out a totally different section of the photo, for example, the face of the subject.
I use a Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet CTE 450; I have upgraded its drivers as well.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated; this is only a small thing but is slowly driving me mad! I don't use the blur tool constantly so it isn't preventing me from doing anything, but it is handy when it works and extremely irritating when it won't!
Thanks in advance!!

Also adding; the same error happens when I use a mouse, which seems to indicate it isn't the tablet's fault.

Wacom Bamboo stopped working after OS 10.9.4 update

Hello.
I wondered if any one else with a Wacom Bamboo has had this problem?
After i installed the OS X10.9.4 update today on my Imac, the tablet stopped working properly. I updated the tablet drivers, then re-installed it but still it doesn't seem to be working the way it did before.
I guess I need to also contact Wacom and see if there is a solution.
Very frustrated!
<Edited By Host>

Leave 10.9.4 alone and work with Wacom to see if there is an update available. I was able to find:
https://www.wacom.asia/en/macosx-driver-637-3-106x-108x-2
If they do not have anything more current you will need to be patient.

Possibilities in iWork 08 (Pages) with wacom bamboo design tablet?

Hi
Since yesterday i have wacom bamboo to draw and navigate by hand.
My Question: The title says everything...
... which functions offers me iWork in connection with a tablet (widhout Ink)?
I like to write on keyboard and after draw Sketches under the text.
Thanks for answers.

Just FYI regarding Scribbles:
Scribbles makes it really easy to get a quick sketch or signature into Pages. Just draw something in Scribbles, then hit Command+C, which will copy a bitmap of your drawing to the clipboard (CommandOptionC will copy a higher-resolution bitmap).
Then, just switch to Pages and Command+V (Paste).
You can even use the unregistered version of Scribbles for this, as the unregistered version only puts a watermark at the bottom of the image, and is super easy to crop out in Pages.

Does CS6 support the old model of Wacom Bamboo Fun?

So I have an ancient Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet, model CTE-650. I recently received and installed the Adobe CS6 package (the student version... if that makes any difference) to further my graphic design dream. Long story short, I can't seem to make the pressure sensitivity work in Illustrator or Photoshop. In Illustrator, I've fiddled with different Calligraphy, Bristle and 6D brushes with different settings, and still, no luck. I can see the option on the dropdown menu, but for some reason, the CS6 programs aren't sensing the pressure sensitivity capability of my tablet.
I also have Photoshop Elements 8, and the pressure sensitivity works just fine there.
Could the problem be that my new "toys" are so new that they are no longer compatible with my 5+ year old tablet, and if so, is there a fix for it? I hope that isn't the case, because I'm still quite fond of my (first-ever) tablet, which is still going strong even with daily use.

So this is the one you have installed?

Hard drive sounds louder than expected when using a wacom bamboo tablet

i hace been trying to do some illustration work in photoshop CS5 using a wacom bamboo pen tablet
however as stated this seems to make the hardrive work louder then expected and i am worried that i could over heat and break my mac if i continue to work like this,
i dont even run any other programs well working (eg; safari or i-tunes)
i'm wondering if it is because my mac dosent have enough RAM to work both photoshop and the tablet at the same time and that if i add extra this would solve the problem
the tablet is powerd through a usb port

um i dont know how much ram it has ,but i havent added any yet so what it came with is the best answer i can give to that (sorry)
how loud would the fan sound as the noise i'm getting is a loud hum that starts up after a couple of
minuets of using my tablet and then goes away if i stop

Wacom Bamboo & inkwell

Have posed this question to Wacom, but have not had definitive answer. They say ask Apple. So, will the Wacom Bamboo allow me to install and utilize inkwell? I note earlier positive responses concerning older Wacom tablets, but seek reassurance that the Bamboo is inkwell friendly. (Wacom advertise that it works with Vista's hanwriting recognition software, but fail to mention OSX). I'm assuming that if it does work with Tiger then it will work with Leopard?
Many thanks.

I have a Bamboo tablet and Ink works just fine for me in Leopard.
*Interesting note*:
The "error message comes up about a missing driver." is not an error message. If you plug in a Wacom tablet, Ink appears in system prefs and you can turn it on and adjust setting. But you need to install the Wacom driver for Ink to actually be able to Ink with your Bamboo. This message is just informing you of that.
*How to prove that it is an Apple issue:*
1) Use "Remove Pen Tablet Software" to uninstall the Wacom driver.
2) Unplug Bamboo tablet
3) Open System preferences
4) The Ink pref pane should not appear! (If it does, then ink is probalby turned on and working)
5) Quit System Preferences
6) Attach Bamboo tablet to Mac
7) Open System Preferences
8) Click on Ink pref pane
9) If you get the warning message, just click OK.
10) Turn "Handwriting recognition" ON
11) Quit System Preferences
12) Open System Preferences & Click on Ink
Is "Handwriting Preferences" ON or OFF?
ON - Ink appears to be working. Install Pen Tablet driver (v5.0.3-3 or later) and enjoy
OFF - Something is horribly wrong with Ink. At this point, you have NO Wacom software installed, so it's not Wacom conflicting. At this stage it's all Apple and you should be able to turn Ink ON and have it stay ON.
Just to be thorough, delete the com.apple.ink.* (1 to 3 files) from you Preferences folder. Reboot.
Try steps 2-12 again.
Still OFF? It's not corrupt Ink preferences. What is wrong? I don't know, but it's not Wacom, or the Tablet.

Right stylus (mainly for note/annotation): Targus 3-in-1 (stylus/laser pointer/pen) or Wacom bamboo solo?

After reading several good reviews about Wacom bamboo stylus solo ($30), I deceided to buy one for my iPad 2. But today, I found Targus 3-in-1 (stylus/laser pointer/pen) for just $20 (original price around $40). Now I am bit confused.
Can the users of these styli please suggest if Targus 3-in-1 will be better buy than Wacom bamboo stylus ($30) in terms of quality and value for money (as it is on sale now)? I know that only laser pointer costs around $20. Do you still suggest that for $20 Targus 3-in-1 (Stylus/laser pointer/pen) will be unworthy (compared to Bamboo) on quality & durability aspect!

BUMP

Wacom Bamboo - a few questions

So, I have a wacom bamboo MTE-450, and (as stated above) I have a few questions.
1. On ubuntu and the likes, I can simply plug in my tablet and it works fine. How does it do that? Do they have wacom drivers preloaded?
2. Is there a way to do the said 'plug it in and it works', or is it easier to manually configure it?
3. If I manually configure it, can I assign the buttons easier?
That's it, hope someone can help.

I just finished installing the very same model.
I used the "Wacom Tablet" guide in the wiki and works fine.
The only thing that did not work for me was that in the wiki it says that we should use : cat /proc/bus/imput/devices to find out the device we should use. In my case it ended up being /dev/input/event4 but it did not work.
Some googling later I found that we can use /dev/input/wacom and after that everything was just fine.
Note: The buttons are not working for me, so far, but I'll do some research on the matter and post if I find something.
Here are my changes to my /var/X11/xorg.conf

Wacom Bamboo Tablet with Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 install on Newly bought Windows 8.1 laptop

So I bought a Wacom bamboo tablet a while back when I had windows 7, which it came with Adobe Photoshop 8 on a CD with product code. I upgraded and bought a new laptop with windows 8 and no CD drive. While I managed to re download the things needed to make my tablet work from their site, I realized I can't download Adobe elements 8 for my laptop because of two things:
1) I have no CD drive
2) Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 seems to only be for windows 7 and under.
My question is Is there any way for me to get this back on my laptop or am I out of luck in that department? I'm not quite sure I can manage the money to purchase the newer Elements for windows 8. Is it hopeless for me to work with this program again?

You can try this version of pse 8 from the adobe site:
Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7
As far i know know, pse 8 should work on windows 8.1

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.)
