Download Wacom Driver For Mac



Updated Wacom drivers are periodically made available on Wacom's Product Resources page (see instructions above) and in Wacom Center. Check in and update regularly so your device has the latest features and functionality.


You need to install the Wacom driver software on your computer before the pen display will work. Depending on your device and operating system, you might need to install the DisplayLink driver software as well.

In some cases, ads may be show to the users.


This software is no longer available for the download. This could be due to the program being discontinued, having a security issue or for other reasons.


Already uninstalled and reinstalled the driver multiple times. When adding wacom on system preferences > security and privacy > add the wacom driver > error comes up: Security settings prevented the wacom software from posting an event.


Windows touch input is mapped by the operating system. The Wacom driver attempts to override this but may not always be successful in certain environments.Touch mapping is easily set by opening the Tablet PC Settings, selecting the Display tab, clicking the button to configure pen and touch displays, and selecting Touch to calibrate.This Touch calibration tool is hidden on Windows 10 and there is no way to access it through the Windows 10 menu system - it can only be accessed through the Run dialog.The following commands will open the Tablet PC Settings window:


Please download the UV-A8301 USB 2.0 Display Adapter. (Please note that the MAC driver supplied in the download file is not compatible with the 1031X). Normally the MCT driver will update automatically to the latest version from the Internet if your PC is connected to it. The 1031X MCT driver will appear in "Programs and Features" on your PC as "Trigger External Graphics Family...." - see the screenshot at the bottom of this page


For the DisplayLink driver there should also be a Windows Service called "DisplayLinkManager" and this should also be running. If not start it manually.If it doesn't start automatically at the next reboot try uninstalling and re-installing the DisplayLink driver.


For the DTU-1031X the Wacom Professional Service should be running but there is no graphics driver service as such. You should however find a new purple icon in your system tray.Please see the "Programs and Features" screenshot below for an illustration of what the icon looks like.


If you haven't installed the SDK (perhaps because you have sign pro PDF instead) please download the analyser from the Capture Analyser download link on our Test signature capture page.After starting the capture analyser please select the "Test Capture" option under the Service menu and then select "wintab".Save the output in a text file and send it to us as an attachment on a support ticket.Support tickets can be created by clicking the "Initial Support Request" button on our Support Page.We will endeavour to respond within one business day.Please note that you will need to register on the Developer Relations site first via the "Login" link if you haven't already done so.


The driver logs are created in C:\Wacom\Logs and logs will continue to generate in that location until logging is disabled.The logs only capture the Wacom driver's trace statements, the username of the current user session, the OS version of the machine in use, and theapplication name of the front-most application as that changes.


Download the zip file debuggingProRegistryScripts.zip. This contains two reg files; one to enable logging and one to disable logging.To use these, you have to manually create a folder for the logs.The scripts use C:\wacom\logs by default, but you can edit the scripts to use any folder with permissions.


In terms of system specification there are no recommended RAM requirements for installing the Wacom tablet driver.Our Pen Tablets use so few resources that we consider any computer that can operate a mouse and keyboard should be compatible with our tablets and drivers.


DisplayLink provide information about system compatibility with their graphics driver, which is required for some of our tablets (for more details see the overview below): -is-my-windows-computer-compatible-with-displaylink


For DTH and DTK models no graphics driver is required because the graphics signal is carried separately via an HDMI cable, not via USB.The tablet driver is the same for all pen tablets but the 1031X requires a different video driver from the 1031 and 1141.


Please note that these 2 video drivers are mutually incompatible and cannot normally be installed together (it may be possible on the very latest version of Windows 10 but is not recommended).This means that you cannot use the 1031 or 1141 at the same time as a 1031X on the same PC. The installation of the DisplayLink graphics driver is normally handled by the Windows platform when a compatible DisplayLink display is connected.Windows 10 has included basic DisplayLink support since the Anniversary update.On Windows 7, Windows Update will fetch the appropriate driver for you and install it, but the installation is not silent.


Once the relevant drivers are installed please check that the "Wacom Professional Service" service is running in Windows Services - if not please start it manually.For the DisplayLink driver there should also be a service called "DisplayLinkManager" and this should also be running.


.NET 4.5 is only required for the Wacom Desktop Center, which is included in the 6.3.30 driver package.The Wacom Desktop Center software does not support the DTU-1141 or 1141B, so it is not necessary to install it for use with that device.If the customer uses the "/opt nowdc" parameter during install they can exclude this software and .NET 4.5 will not try to install.


The 1031X and 1031AX (Adonis Light) require a different graphics driver provided by MCT.For this please download the UV-A8301 USB 2.0 Trigger Family Display Adapter. (Please note that the MAC driver included in the download file is not compatible with the 1031X or AX).


PLEASE NOTE: The DisplayLink and MCT drivers should not normally be installed together on the same PC because they are incompatible - in fact they mutually exclude each other at installation time.It may be possible to avoid conflicts on the very latest releases of Windows 10 where DisplayLink have worked with Microsoft to provide support natively within Windows.


It is very likely that the computer does not have the necessary SHA-2 driver signature support. This was distributed through Windows updates, and the customer can review their installed updates to see if it's installed.SHA-2 driver signatures are required for all new hardware drivers produced after October 2014. SHA-2 driver signatures are native to Windows 8 and Windows 10, but not to Windows 7.Without the necessary update, Windows 7 will believe that a driver signed with SHA-2 is invalid, as it will not recognize the signature.


I noticed my Wacom Intuos 3 mouse was acting strange (clicks not always being registered). I tried to re-install the Wacom Drivers for the tablet to troubleshoot whether this was a hardware (mouse itself) or software (drivers) problem.


When I reinstalled the latest drivers that work with Intuos 3 tablets for Mac (Driver 6.3.15-3), the Wacom Preferences Pane kept saying there was something wrong with the driver and the computer needed to be restarted, and if the issue persisted to re-install the driver. I restarted my computer a few times and still had the issue, then I un-installed and I re-installed the driver and still had the issue.


I then tried installing the most recent drivers (Driver 6.3.37-3 for macOS 10.11 - 10.15) because I thought that might work with my newer Mac OS, and after installation the Wacom Preferences Pane kept saying there were no devices attached, even when my tablet was plugged in.


How do I get drivers for Intuos 3 that work with Mac OS 10.12? It used to work just fine, but now with no working drivers, my tablet is not mapped to my screen properly and using my mouse/pen is terrible.


Wacom's macOS drivers for Bamboo, Graphire, Intuos 1, 2 & 3 and Cintiq 1st gen tablets have bugs in them that cause them to completely fail to start on macOS 10.15 Catalina and later versions (including 11 Big Sur and 12 Monterey). This doesn't apply to the Windows driver, or to the drivers for their newer tablets.


When you try to open the Wacom preference pane with a Bamboo tablet, you'll get an error message saying "Waiting for synchronization", then finally "There is a problem with your tablet driver. Please reboot your system. If the problem persists reinstall or update the driver". For an Intuos 3 or Cintiq 1st gen tablet, the preference pane will open, but clicking anything will cause it to crash with the message "There was an error in Wacom Tablet preferences." For Graphire and Intuos 1 & 2 tablets, the driver's installer couldn't even run on Catalina. 2ff7e9595c
