Wacom cintiq connection questions

i have purchased the wacom cintiq 12wx tablet which requires to be connected to usb and dvi port - i have currently 2-30in displays and trying to figure out what can i do to also connect the wacom tablet up also without having to lose one of my displays ...

The cards don't need to be the same brand for OSX. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 is the only card currently being sold that will work, but not with a Mac Pro earlier than 2008.

For older Mac Pros, you would have to find used Apple versions of the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT

or ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT.

Connecting a Wacom Cintiq 13HD to iMac (2012)?

I have been having issues connecting my 27" thunderbolt iMac (2012) to my Cintiq 13HD so far i have bought several adapters and have done several diffent methouds along side it. I am now at a point where the iMac screen goes blue for maybe 2-3 seconds but doesn't mirror across to the cintiq. can you help?

Have you updated the latest Wacom cintiq's driver?
Do you have another (third monitor) attached to your imac? Are you using your Cintiq as "second" display?
Some people connect the cintiq through adaptor, which would make the cintiq the third display.
Normally, as I know, imac can get hooked up to only one monitor (as second display). The imac wouldn't recognize the third display unless you have an adaptor.
In any case, if your cintiq is a second monitor, you shouldn't have the problem you mentioned. May be the cintiq is defective or it's your driver isn't up to date. I also have a cintiq13hd connected to an imac as second display and it works just fine.
Hope this help.

Connection between Mac BookPro (early 2011), a Thunderbolt Display and a Wacom Cintiq 22'

I want to connect my Mac BookPro (early 2011) to a Thunderbolt Display and a Wacom Cintiq 22'. My Cintiq is connect with a DVI-Thunderbolt-Adapter to the Thunderbolt Display. The Cintiq-Display shows nothing. Is this connection impossible or do I something wrong?

You can't connect a non-Thunderbolt display or adapter directly to the port on the back of a Thunderbolt display. It will work if you connect a Thunderbolt disk drive (with two Thunderbolt ports) between the two displays.

Considering Purchase of Wacom Cintiq 27 HD Touch - Questions about Touch Functionality in Lightroom 5 & Photoshop CS6

I am considering purchase of a Wacom Cintiq 27 HD Touch monitor. I have a few questions relative to two Adobe programs and their use of "touch" functionality - Lightroom 5.7 and Photoshop CS6 running on Windows 7.
1. Have the problems related to touch functionality in Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5 been resolved that you see on this and Wacom's forums from a year ago?
2. If so, is there enough value gained via touch functionality in Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CS6 to warrant the $500 difference in price between the Cintiq 27 HD vs HD Touch? (I realize that this is a subjective question based on the abundance of one's cash.)
3. I plan to stay with CS6 as long as humanly possible to avoid a monthly software subscription, BUT I do wonder if purchasing the HD Touch now may provide additional touch functionality in future versions of these software products that are not currently available. (So this is a pie in the sky sort of question.)
Thanks,
Kent

Photoshop Touch support is added in CC 2014.2.2. However Wacom tablets like the Intuos Pro with touch can be use with prior versions of Photoshop and the Wacom Tablets Configurator can customized the tablets touch features to be used with Photoshop. I do not use LR but I'm sure the same would be true for it. You can configure setting for many applications. The device driver knows which application its interfacing with and uses the setting set for each..
I disable most of touch when using Photoshop. The Main reason I have a tablet is Photoshop Brush type tools. Like eraser, clone stamp, etc nothing is better then a pen when it come to creating layer mask. For most programs I still use a mouse and I use the Keyboard, Mouse and Pen with Photoshop....
I never wanted a Cintig I like not having my hand between my eyes and work. I not an artist though.

If I daisy chain two Thunderbolt Displays to a 2011 iMac 27" can I connect a Wacom Cintiq HD to the other Thunderbolt port?

In one Thunderbolt port are the two Thunderbolt displays, in another Thunderbolt port is the Cintiq HD. Would this work on an iMac 27".

Looks like 2 external displays are the max, even for the 2-port (TB) iMac. So if the Cintiq shows up in ASP and is considered by the computer as a display, then NO, you won't be able to use the Wacom Cintiq in 'addition' to (2) TB displays.

Wacom Cintiq 21UX not working with MacPro TB!!!

Just got the 3.5 ~ 6 core and 3 of Apples TB –> DVI connectors.
OOOPs! My Wacom Cintiq 21UX needs DVI-I connectivity. So I go to BEST BUY and purchase a ROCKETFISH RF-AP306...
I plug into BUS 0, BUS 1, and BUS 2 and cannot get the Wacom monitor to sync with the Mac Pro.
I get an Apple Logo on startup, then black screen with a cool male voice saying, "To continue with ENGLISH as the main language... press ENTER", or something rediculously cool like that. I didn't even have a KB paired, so... I'm stuck...
NO SYNC on Cintiq.
Sooooo ~ I set up ANOTHER monitor and use an APPLE MDP —> DVI adapter and boing<!> I'm up and running (somewhat)
Still NO entry for Cintiq in the DISPLAYS PREFS PANE. The PEN SURFACE WORKS through the USB port, and it immediately brings up "Handwriting Gestures" on OTHER monitor!
U S I N 6 h N n dW r I t I ngN OW!S 0 0 0Co 0 l (Needs work, though)
Does anyone have any info or ideas for me?!? I'm going to FRYs to get a different brand of DVI-I connector... we'll see. Thanks in ADVANCE!!!

I have not heard of anyone using a RocketFish adapter successfully with a Mac.
DVI-I is a composite interface. It is what is usually issued by a computer output port, but I do not know of any cables that carry it all through, except perhaps the ones that shipped with the Cintiq. DVI-I contains all of DVI-D (the digital Interface) plus it has a set of VGA pins in the blade at the end and the four pins around it (plus one more in the top row of the grid used for both). Salmon-pink in the diagram below:
Click on the diagram to see it slightly larger.
Diagram courtesy wikipedia
I think they are trying to say you can use DVI-D *OR* use their cable and connect in a VGA that will be shuffled around to come in on the reserved pins on their ONE connector (so they saved money by not having to have a separate VGA connector as well).

Macbook Pro 15-inch, late 2011 - Wacom Cintiq 21UX 2

Today i was asked to hook up a Wacom Cintiq 21UX to a brand new MBP...
After hooking up all the cables the Cintiq started displaying distortion, like a noise in the vertical lines of the screen.
Wacom suggests to check the cables and try a different machine connecting with both DVI and VGA so i used an early 2009 17-inch MBP and connected both machines using both adaptors.
The 17 inch worked perfect with both VGA and DVI no distortion at any resolution
The 15 inch could not connect using DVI. Using VGA the screen started displaying the noise at 1344x1008 up to 1600x1200
Furthermore i tested the performance on both machines opening an identical .psd document at 300dpi and when using the brush tool noticed more latency on the 15-inch than on the 17-inch 2009 model. both MacBooks are running 10.7.2 with most recent software updates installed.
Is the distortion related to the Intel HD-video 3000?
Why is the 15-inch not connecting using DVI?
How come a late 2011 model has more latency than an early 2009 model?

Your 15" MBP shouldn't be running on the Intel HD3000 video if you're plugged into the adapter. Your MBP should automatically switch to the the much more powerful AMD 6750 card that comes with the new MBP's. If you're not sure it's switching, download gfxCardStatus, which gives you control over the video card.
Getting the right video card to run may cure some of your issues.
A new 15" MBP does not have a DVI out, so I assume you mean Thunderbolt to DVI connector? Maybe that could be the issue?

Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB device have been deisabled - WACOM Cintiq 13

Hi,
I recently got a Wacom cintiq 13, with 3 in 1 chord, which I am now using on my MBP early 2011. The wacom (that has an external power supply) works fine with USB connected however everything else wont and I'm getting the above mentioned error message, even when I connect the usb to an external power source.
Tried resetting PRAM, and SMC - didn't help.
And I cant reach my backup since there on an external hd.
Any help?
Thanks

Try a different USB cord, seen this many many times, its highly likely a damaged USB cord.
Restart the computer to redefine Port definition. If still a problem
You can also resetting PRAM/NVRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379

IMac and wacom cintiq 21 tablet problem

Hi, i have a serious problem with a first gen intel iMac and a new wacom cintiq 21 u tablet monitor. The problem is that when i connect the tablet to the imac all i get are the terrible red ripples. Adjusting monitor display settings does not help at all. Same tablet works great with a windows based laptop and the following generation imac. I'm using the following connection scheme for connecting tablet to the imac:
tablet dvi-I -> adapter to dvi-d (included with tablet) -> dvi-d to mini dvi-d adapter -> imac. imac does not have a port for direct dvi-I connection. Again, same connection scheme works just fine on the next model of imac.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this problem? Could it be an older version of OS?
Thanks in adavnce.

Since you say that it won't work with a first gen iMac, but works with "next model", have you considered installing a earlier version of a driver? Could it be that the latest driver isn't being recognized? I know that it said "10.4/10.5", but I ran into a problem with some third party software updater that simply would not work with my 10.4.11 even though it stated 10.4/10.5 and once I reverted back to the previous version, everything worked as it should.

Wacom Cintiq 13hd works on Mavericks?

Wacom Cintiq 13hd works on Mavericks?

After the Mavericks upgrade on my MacBook Pro 17" (Mid 2009) my Cintiq 13HD had an annoying intermittent "blink" or shot-off and back-on of varying length's and intervals. I had read, and subsequently did in fact find, that a PRAM NVRAM reset fixed the blink, but after resetting the Energy Setting in systems Preferences to "Best performance" to keep necessary 3D functionality in PS CC the "blink" returned.
I then saw, here in the Apple Community in an old 2012 OS X 10.8 update thread by @koliaG a suggestion by @GISMAC, that starting the laptop without the peripheral display attached, then connecting the mini display adaptor (in that case a VGA -in my case to HDMI) alone, and then the display to the adaptor allows the laptop to recognize the adapted means of peripheral video connectivity and then subsequently the display and it's differing resolution.
The mini display adapters further complicate things by apparently being notoriously faulty. I am on my third brand now.

Crashes with Mac Pro and Wacom Cintiq?

Anyone else here running a Mac Pro with a Wacom Cintiq? I am having issues with this configuration since I updated to 10.5.3. Mac OS X would crash while I am using the Cintiq.
I have an 8-Core Mac Pro (Early 2008) with the stock ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT with 256MB GDDR3 memory (two dual-link DVI). I got a Wacom Cintiq 20WSX and I am running it as a secondary display with a 30" Apple Cinema Display. I mainly use Adobe Flash CS3 to do animation.
I was able to run with this set up for a month trouble-free until I noticed it crashing (gray curtain of death) recently. That was when I updated to 10.5.3.
I tried to downgrade back to 10.5.1 and found that the set up runs more stable with that version. However, I have some apps (such as Aperture 2) that I need to run, hence my persistence in running under 10.5.3, or 10.5.4 even.
I have the latest Wacom Tablet driver installed, by the way.
I just wanted to know if anyone else have this same set up but is having no issues. I would love to know what settings they are using that makes their setup trouble free. Or am I out of luck and should just revert back to 10.5.1?
Thanks.

Hey, hopfully anyone here could possible help me with this...
I have a MBP and when I bought a Wacom Cintiq half a year ago, Wacom told me already that there are problems with the NVIDIA 8600M GT. At the beginning everything run normal. Whenever I used the Cintiq to draw or just as a second monitor. BUT whenever I didn't connect it to my MBP my Intuos was not recognized (the tablet prefs where not in the System Preferences). As soon as I plug in the Cintiq and would un-plug it right after, the Intuos is recongized (and the Wacom prefs where in the System Preferences). When I installed the latest Wacom software (I un-installed the old one before), it seemed to work. I started my computer and it recognized the Intuos straight and the Wacom prefs, YES! BUT since yesterday, I believe the first time I used the Cintiq since I installed the new Wacom drivers, the same problem appeared again. In my System Preferences I get the message, "A USB tablet was not found when the system started....". This is driving me insane, to basically need a second monitor to plug in first in order to use my tablet?!?!?! This way I am not able to use my tablet when I am mobile and that is a big handicap....
Thanks.

Photoshop CC + Wacom Cintiq Companion Hybrid

Can I use Photoshop CC on my Wacom Cintiq Companion Hybrid tablet? It is an Android system. How can I download and install it?

Thomas Wyser I am sorry but you will need to run Photoshop CC using Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 or later. Alternately you could run it under Mac OS 10.7 or later although you would need a different computer. You can find a list of the system requirements at System requirements | Photoshop.

Does Wacom cintiq 24hd work with windows 8?

Hello!
I want to buy the Wacom cintiq 24hd (the non-touch). I'm reading a little around the different sites, but I'm not able to see if it works with windows 8 or not. I need to know this so I can be sure I can use it with photoshop. I hope you are willing to help me out on this!
-Karen

Wacom's own page for the Cintiq 24HD specifically states Windows 8 as one of OS's that work with it. (It's at the bottom; you have to click to expand the specs.)

Problems with a Wacom Cintiq tablet after upgrade to Yosemite

I have a 15-in MacBook Pro Late-2013 Retina with 2.6GHz i7 Processor, 16GB RAM. I recently upgraded to Yosemite, 10.10.2, and then reinstalled my drivers for my Wacom Cintiq 12WX Tablet. Now, startup takes 10-15 seconds longer than before - not a huge deal, but noticeable. Also, when I attempt to start the computer with the tablet plugged in (via USB and Mini DisplayPort), startup hangs indefinitely, displaying a blank screen on both devices with only a cursor visible, for as long as 15 to 20 minutes, and never less than 10 minutes. When it finally responds, it has automatically logged in as a "guest," requiring logout and login again as the primary user.
Anything known about this issue? I'm a professional artist and it's really spoiling my workflow. I'd like to avoid rolling back my OS if possible, but maybe I'll have to do so.

Hi,
I am having that message, always if I delete a Sheet which contains an embeded query.
Even the sheet is deleted, the SAPBEX has information of all the embeded queries, and tries to find the Result area to put the data.
To find out if this is your case as well,
select an empty cell in a Sheet and continue like that, until all the embeded queries are been displayed.
Regards

Probleme mit Photoshop CS6 und Wacom Cintiq 21UX Pen-Display

Hallo zusammen, ich hoffe man kann mir hier weiter helfen.
Seit ich Photoshop CS 6 auf meinen Rechner habe (Windows 7 64Bit, 8GByte Ram, Nvidia GTX 460 Grafikkarte) habe ich Probleme beim Zeichnen probleme mit dem Drucksensitiven Stif meines Wacom Cintiq 21UX Pen-Display.
Es tritt immer wieder Sporadisch auf, das wenn ich z.B. einfach Striche Zeichnen will, Gerade oder Geschwungene aus dem Handgelenk raus, das diese plötzlich in voller Pinselgröße erscheinen, ob wohl Photoshop so eingestellt ist, das die Pinselgröße durch den Stiftdruck gesteuert werden soll.
z.B. möchte eine Art Grass Zeichnen also setze ich den Stift an und Zeichne los, die ersten Sekunden kann ich diverse unterschiedliche Striche zeichnen, dann setze ich wieder zum x-ten mal den Stift für den nächsten Strich an und dieser wird in voller Pinselgröße gezeichnet, egal wie stark ich mit dem Stift aufdrücke, wenn ich den Stift wieder anhebe und wieder neu aufsetze geht es wieder oder auch mal nicht.
Ich weiß nicht wo das Problem ist den in Photoshop CS5 habe ich das noch nie gehabt.
Ich nutze viel die Standard Pinselspitze, aber auch bei anderen Pinselspitzen ist dieses verhalten gegeben, in anderen Programmen mit der Drucksensitiven Stift unterstützung habe ich keinerlei Probleme.
Habe auch die Wacom-Sift einstellungen schon wieder auf Standard zurück gesetzt auch ohne erfolg, auch aktuelle Wacom-Treiber installiert, auch ohne erfolg, es liegt an Photoshop CS 6
Wer kann helfen, oder könnte jemand das Problem an Adobe schicken, ich kann leider kein Englisch, habs schon mal in Deutsch an Adobe geschickt aber bis heute keine rückmeldung erhalten.
Bedanke mich schon mal im voraus für jede Hilfe.

Das sind irgendwelche Fehler im Wacom-Treiber in Kombination mit bestimmten Grafikkarten und PS' Hardwarebeschleunigung. Eine wirkliche Lösung zu dem Problem habe ich noch nirgendwo gesehen, aber vielelicht hilft ja das Ausknipsen von OpenCL oder andere Grafikeinstellungen im System.
