Hi, thanks.
It works, I can see the pen settings in the mac settings:

But it I click on the buttons drowdopwn nothing happens. Any advice?

The pentab is detected in the preferences panel and it also allows to change the mapping mode and stuff but the Pentab doesn't move the mouse at all and upon quitting the Pentab driver the Pentab can move the mouse but in mouse mode and not in pen mode

First of all, thank you so much for this patch! 🎉

Now for the actual issue. This isn't a problem with this specific patch. It's been a problem since I can remember. I was wondering if a fix could be incorporated into this repo that fixes the menu icon in dark mode?

Dark Mode when monitor is active

Dark mode when another monitor is active

Light mode when monitor is active

Light mode when another monitor is active

Good evening! I have a wacom CTH 461, I use catalina 10.15.5 and I tried several times step by step to install the drive and I couldn't. The image below shows the error it gives. Thank you!

Hi there, I don't see mention of the Wacom Intuos3 PTZ-631W? I've got one in great condition but no dice with MacOS Catalina. Could it be supported please? Thanks in advance.

As the title indicates, the pressure input works fine in Photoshop (like with the brush tool) but it does not work in Illustrator. The option of pressure is greyed out and cannot be activated.
Any suggestions?

Is there any support for Bamboo Splash? Thanks

So I did all the steps and my Wacom still doesn't align with my screen, the cursor moves but that's what it did usually. Please help, I've seen people say this works

The new release from Catalina broke the patch. The cursor (in my case) stays in the corner of the screen while using the tablet.

Installed the patched driver, but when I go to preferences - Wacom I'm still getting a 'there's a problem with your tablet' message. There does seem to be a reaction to using the pen, but the mapping is way off.

Thanks for your work on this...

I have a Graphire Bluetooth (CTE-630BT) I am trying to use on a Mac mini (2018) macOS 10.15.6. I installed the driver Install-Wacom-Tablet-5.3.0-3-patched.pkg. The tablet connects via bluetooth as "WACOM Pen Tablet" and is recognized by the Bamboo System Preferences app (the installed driver). The tablet itself registers a a pen touch or motion (the light around the on/off button changes colour), however neither the mouse nor the pen move the cursor on the computer screen.

If I do not install the driver, then the computer recognizes the bluetooth tablet as a mouse (and can move the cursor, etc.) The problem seems to be related to the Security & Privacy / Accessibility setting:
Under Security & Privacy - Input Monitoring there is a checked "PenTabletSpringboard" entry, but nothing related to the tablet under Accessibility. I have tried rebooting several times, and also entering the terminal commands unload and load the .plist file as mentioned in the instructions. However nothing appears in the Accessibility list related to the tablet.

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

I updated my system to 15.5 and it stopped working

Thanks for your work on this! I was curious if there was any chance of it working with the Wacom ET-0405-U Graphire Tablet?

I tried your Graphire3 test release and when I click on the Preference Pane item (Bamboo) I just get "Could not load Bamboo Preference pane."

macOS: 10.15.5

Hi! I don't get the permission prompts, with either the unpatched driver or your driver. Additionally, I noticed that your driver doesn't install anything to my /Library/Extensions. And if I unpack the .pkg with unpkg.app, the kernel extensions aren't there. I tried installing the original driver (which does indeed install some kexts) and following the manual patching guide, but I get no permissions prompts either with that method as well. I'm several reboots in. My tablet is a CTE-640.

So, I have a CTL-460 and a CTH-470. macOS loads the preferences and reads the tablets but fails to register pen input. The tablets do register the inputs but not the system. On the 470 (Touch-enabled Bamboo tablet) the system registers touch input too.

For some reason, I'm not getting the prompts after reinstalling the drivers.

Modal
CTH-460

Things I tried:

• Removed all remains from accessibility and input monitoring
• Running load and unload

Is anybody else having the issue?

Thank you,
Vye

Hi, it seems the Intuos 3 bug of crashing the settings didn't go away with the fix. Can you recommend any other steps?

Hi, first of all thanks for your work!

I've got a CTH-460 which doesn't want to work. I see the led flash twice during OSX startup (10.15.6) and then it stays off for the rest of the time...

In the console I can see this log:

Hi.

I just moved to Catalina from Mojave, and lost the functionality of my Wacom CTH-470 Bamboo tablet. I found your patched driver (impressive work!), and installed it. I fixed the tablet permissions. After that, touching the tablet with my finger prompted the system to install the ConsumerTouchDriver item in "Accessibility" (under Security and Privacy -> Privacy tab); touching it with the pen prompted it to install the PenTabletDriver.

There is no item at all under "Input Monitoring". There is also no sign of any other item you listed (WacomTouchDriver, WacomTabletDriver, TabletDriver, WacomTabletSpringboard). I can control the pointer with both finger and pen, which means those two drivers are operational. The "Extra-Menu" on the top status line is also active and behaves well.

I then launched an Ink request with the pen, which spawned a small window warning me that the Ink System Pane should be called up to authorize it. But then, upon pressing the "OK" button, nothing followed. I searched for an "Ink" pane or extra menu everywhere I could (verifying many system locations found online), but no such pane, or extra menu, was to be found anywhere on my system.

I then found another webpage advertising the fact that Catalina has removed an "Inkwell" component that had been present up to Mojave. I don't know if my missing the "Ink Pane" is due to Catalina removing it from the system, or to something else.

I think this is likely to be independent of your driver, but perhaps you have a suggestion on how to proceed? Have you encountered this issue before?

Thanks
Yours
Leo Liberti

Tested full installer, works great by now, thanks a lot.
Trick I learned from https://apple.stackexchange.com
Worked up to 10.13.4, then Apple remove the "change to 32-bits on application's info panel".

How worked for me. Sierra 10.12.6 Intuos GD-0608-U. Clean installation driver 6.2.0w4 Go /Library/PreferencePanes, move to desktop WacomTablet.prefpane, open package (I use Pacifist on demo) and extract Info.plist, trash this WacomTablet.prefpane From driver 6.3.15-3, open installer package (Pacifist again) DO NOT INSTALL, open package, copy to desktop WacomTablet.prefpane, open package, change the Info.plist (with the one from 6.2.0w4). Close all. Put this prefpane in /Library/PreferencePanes. I set System Preferences.app to 32bit with info, before open Preferences, is working, close and set off 32bit. Summary: Is a 6.2.0w4 installation with a preferences panel from 6.3.15-3 which has inside an Info.plist from 6.2.0w4. This works so did not try any other version of the driver.
NOTE: whats different for me, is that all information is about a newest driver with and oldest PrefPane, that did not worked for me. The last driver for Intuos (GD series) is 6.2.0w4 and did not work on osX 10.12.6, so use that oldest driver installation, but with a newest PrefPane from 6.3.15-3 with inside the info.plist from 6.2.0w4. And you get a full functional System Preferences Panel, don't need old preferences file.

Again, looks great by now, regards.

when i installed the orignal wacom driver on catalina, after rebooted, it just fail to load into the desktop. May i know does this repo workaround driver fix the issue?

ref: https://www.wacom.com/en-us/products/pen-tablets/wacom-intuos

Hi, it did work the first time that i´ve installed the this driver, but when i reboot the laptop doesn't light up my bamboo fun blue led light

Should it work?

I have successfully installed the fix and everything seems to work, but I see nothing on the screen.

MacBookPro and Catalina 10.15.4

Alright, so I stumbled upon your post on reddit and decided to try this fix since I was already beginning to give up on this tablet, which is a shame cause it's still in an amazing shape! But for a couple hours now I just can't get it to work. Either "A supported tablet was not found by the system" or "There's a problem with your tablet driver, reboot your system" etc..

I went through the closed issues already and tried what the guy did in this post but still nothing. Unloading/loading does nothing basically, i tried reinstalling a couple of times, removing preferences, removing/adding the "PenTabletDriver" in Accessibility as well as Input Monitoring, still nothing. Although i'm getting this weird message sometimes (might help understand what the problem is).

Running Catalina 10.15.5.

Maybe I'm stupid, I don't know, I'll try again to see if something will work.. Any help is gladly appreciated.

I have tried installing the driver patch, with the automated method as well as the manual method,
but neither work.

After plugging the tablet into the computer. I get this message in the control panel.
I have tried rebooting after install but without luck.

I am running macOS Catalina version 10.15.3.

There is a problem with your tablet driver. Please reboot your system. If the problem persists reinstall or update the driver.

Hello. The installer works like a charm on my Mac Pro 5,1 running Catalina via OpenCore.
Unfortunately, the driver unloads after every restart and I have to reinstall for the current session. Any ideas?

Thanks for the great fix with the patch. After getting my tablet working again and using zbrush for about an hour i noticed 'option' wasn't working then i noticed my entire keyboard was a different language keyboard, restarted and all good for about another hour again. not sure if this is the right place for this type of thing but you fixed what wacom failed to so.....

Hey, I recently did an O/S update that seemed to break this functionality, and then there was a sale...so I bought a new Intuos Pro, and am having an arm wrestle with the security settings in Catalina with the new official driver. Wondering if remnants of this patch are anything to do with it - is there a way to re-set/remove everything and start over?

Thanks for making our pen tablets are usable again!

My Intuos 3 (PTZ-431W) working but if i change Tablet Area Mapping values manually i get "Preferences Error"
If i copy and paste this values no error.

So I installed the patch, the tablet is working, touch is working, pen is not working and the panel not loading. I updated to 10.15.4, and just today installed your patch. Any ideas?

I have been successfully using this great driver for several months. I updated osx this morning and when it was done is said that PenTablet.prefPane was incompatible and moved it to the incompatible folder.

Firstly, I wasn't sure whether we were supposed to uninstall the original Wacom Driver so I did that anyway - should I reinstall it and begin the process again?

Everything looks good and my tablet comes up under the Wacom app in System Preferences - however, it won't work. Trying to paint in PhotoShop and the curser isn't moving. [Had to use the Terminal app to input the commands to give permissions for the tablet. Touching my stylus to the screen didn't prompt the access pop-up.]

I have the CTL-470 Bamboo Pen tablet, and the Intuos LP-190k Stylus. My friend uses this combination on her PC and it worked fine for her. Any suggestions? I have attached screenshots.

Hi Nick
After follow your instruction, to replace the /Library/PreferencePanes/WacomTablet.prefpane/Contents/MacOS/WacomDriver with your patch and reboot multiple time, I got this error.
Error: There is a problem with your tablet driver
I follow this thread: http://forum.wacom.eu/viewtopic.php?f=6&p=10042
"My ability to find issues with the Intuos 3 driver is very limited because I don't own an Intuos 3 myself. If you open up the "Console" app, check the Crash Reports tab and see if you find anything recent there mentioning your tablet, if so this provides rich information I can use to hunt down and fix bugs in this driver. If not, it's very hard for me to figure out what's going wrong with your tablet."

WacomTabletDriver_2020-03-15-152506_Thes-MacBook-Air.txt

I got my Wacom Bamboo working again on MacOS 10.15.4 with your fixed driver which I bumped into quite recently.

This morning, I upgraded my system to 10.15.5 and at first boot after the upgrade process, the system told me it disabled the Pentablet Preference pane as it is incompatible with this version of the OS.

What is needed to get this working again on 10.15.5?

All Wacom preferences are working! Except for the Mapping option, which returns an error and closes the pane. Respect.

Thank you for your great work!!

now my old bamboo is working again.

However I have 2 monitors and I'm no more able to map the tablet in the second one... at the moment it covers both the screens...

Do you have any tip to allow me to select only the second screen? I tried editing the xml config file but with no results...

thank you again!

i receive this error every time i try to load the driver:

what should i do?

i have a cth-470/K

thanks
Mauri

edit:

well, actually i don't receive it, just spot it in the console...

OK, it WORKS!!! THANK THANK THANK YOU.

However the .pkg, did not work on 10.15.4 Catalina, it produces a "supported tablet not found". So I installed the WacomTablet_6.3.15-3 driver from Wacom, I then after the tablet was working, did the Manual install of the two exec files, and it worked great.

Thank you, for the work you do, as soon as I am re-employed, I shall give you a tip.

Thanks!!

I have an Intuos 3 (PTZ-631W), which has been working fine even under Catalina (10.5.5), though I don’t really use any of the keymapping features, just the pen itself.

I wanted to change some settings, which gave me the preference crash, so I found this patch and installed it. It installed, I gave permissions during the installation, and then it prompted for a restart, which I did.

Having restarted, the pen itself still works as before: I can use it to move the cursor, click, right-click, etc. But when I open the Wacom preference pane, I now get… this:

Does the installer actually remove the driver for the tablet (and not install a new one in its place)? Or am I missing something?

I've installed the patched version of the software, but on the accessibility page of the Security and privacy menu I don't see any of : PenTableDriver, WacomTabletDriver, TabletDriver or WacomTabletSpringboard.
That being said, PenTabletDriver shows up in the monitoring page.

Setup: macOS 10.15.6
Tablet: CTH-661 bamboo fun

It may not be confusing to anyone else but I was doing reboots and reboots and installations and couldn't figure out why my Bamboo CTH-470 wasn't being detected.

I definitely hadn't used it a while (I got Astropad) and it turns out that plugging this tablet in via USB is just for charging, at least when you have the wireless module. It wasn't until I unhooked it, plugged in the USB transceiver and pressed power on my tablet that it woke up and started asking for permissions to things 😂

If I'm the only idiot that didn't realize this that's fine, but I thought it may be helpful to have a place to list some little caveats or gotchas like this?

If you've tried out this experimental driver that supports Intuos 2 tablets:

https://github.com/thenickdude/wacom-driver-fix/releases/tag/intuos2

Please report your experiences in this issue.

First up, this driver is a lifesaver, and has brought my CTH-670 (Bamboo Create medium) back to life in MacOS. Since multi-touch is exclusive to Intuos Pro now, you've saved me the best part of $400. Thank you!

I am running MacOS Mojave 10.14.6 (18G5033) on a 2019 iMac Retina 5K and I rarely reboot. I've noticed that three scenarios can (but don't always) cause the driver to stop working:

1. Restarting the Mac
2. Letting it sleep overnight — especially if I use the quick switch menu to go to the Login Window before walking away. This happens the most consistently.
3. Sometimes it seems to be completely random, in the middle of using the computer

My solution has been to create a shell script to unload and reload the driver:

#!/bin/bash echo 'Reloading Wacom Driver'; launchctl unload /Library/LaunchAgents/com.wacom.pentablet.plist; launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/com.wacom.pentablet.plist;

It's set to run automatically on login, and I have it handy in ~/ so if any of the above three cases happen, I can run the script. It fixes the problem ~80% of the time. ~15% of the time, it will only cause the pen or the touch functions to work, and I run it a second time, which fixes the problem. The rest of the time, it doesn't do anything, and pulling the USB cable out of the tablet and plugging it back in seems to reactivate it.

I wouldn't call this a show stopper, at least for someone savvy enough to follow the instructions in your ReadMe file, and you do mention this fix is specifically for Catalina, which I won't be upgrading to, so if this is too esoteric to track reproduce, or you're simply not going to fix Mojave issues, I completely understand.

Again, thank you for your patch, it's been great to get back to pen and touch after 18 months with a mouse!

Macos Catalina also worked. thank you so much.

Hi,
First of all, Thanks for the hard-work and creating the modified drivers!
I have a CTH-460 and was using the modified drivers & app with 10.15.4 successfully.
Post the 10.15.5 update the tablet preference app (System Preferences) has been removed.
When I first booted into 10.15.5 a warning message was displayed, that the Tablet App is no longer compatible with the current OSX and it has been moved into the incompatible software folder. (Maybe I'm blind but cannot locate the ISF on the HD (root) level....)
Tablet still works, however customisation/ fine tuning is no longer feasible.
Can you take a look? Thanks in advance!

Hope you have a chance to fix it

Hi just to tell you that I've only installed your driver for my bamboo CTL-460 following the simplified english documentation, and it worked directly without any complication.

I had nothing to remove, or to add, just follow the macos instructions to enable accessibility feature when installation ask for it.

Thank you !

Hey! I've been using your driver for the last 6 months and it works amazing! Now that I've updated to Big Sur, going to need to reinstall it, so I was thinking, is there a way to get the installer on to homebrew to make the update easier?
