Connect my tablet is doing exactly that: It connects your Wacom (TM) tablet to your Mac and restores at least its critical functionality to be creative with Photoshop (TM) and other programmes in Sonoma, Ventura, Monterey, Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave, HighSierra (newest Connect my tablet version) & Sierra and El Capitan (App Store will download automatically for you the last compatible version 4.1 upon purchase).
For many models and macOS versions, the Wacom preference pane, and therefore most previous functionality, will be working again.
For others, Connect my tablet provides a tool to let you change the most important pen and tablet settings. Connect my tablet also allows the change of settings of the tablet buttons for Cintiq (21 upwards) and Intuos3 tablet users. In addition, we have an additional, free tool (CMT Utility) for Bamboo CTH users on the App Store that allows them to change their tablet button settings. That leaves very few tablets, where pen and most important functions are already restored, but tablet buttons cannot yet be programmed.
Also, for the oldest tablets, the Utility programme from Wacom is no longer supported in the latest macOS versions. It was mainly useful to create backups of the preference settings. Our additional utility tool (see above) allows you to save and restore them (in its first version for Bamboo CTH users only).
As you might have to install and de-install tablet drivers, you will have to have full admin rights on your computer.
Currently Connect my tablet supports and is tested on:
Bamboo: including CTH-460/461/470/661/670, CTL 460/470, MTE-450, CTE-440/450/650 , CTF-430
Intuos: including USB GD and XD series (0 and 2 series); Intuos3 PTZ-430/431/630/631/930/1231W; CTH-series; Intuos4 PTK-440/640/840/540WL and Intuos5 and Pro tablets (e.g. PTH)
Graphire: 2 (ET series),3 (Sapphire, CTE-430/630) and 4 (CTE-440/640) series
Cintiq: including 12WX, 18SX, 20WSX, 21UX, 13HD, DTU-2231 and others
But it works for many more Wacom tablets (like One by Wacom and Intuos CTL tablets) and you can always ask us at [email protected]. Actually, the only 4 tablets that we do not currently support are: Wacom One DTC133, Intuos 4 XL PTK-1240 and Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 and Wacom Cintiq Pro 27.
Current setting options for those tablets that not only need reconnection (and then their preference pane works again) but also require settings to be changed via Connect my tablet:
• Tablet/ Stylus connected
• One group of settings for all applications (although with different backups you can be application specific)
• Pen Pressure Sensitivity selectable
• Pen Buttons programmable (keystrokes, modifiers, clicks)
• Eraser programmable
• Double click assistance can be switched off/on
• Definition of the active tablet area
• Definition of the active monitor (currently for up to 3 monitors)
• Definition of the pen/stylus to switch to mouse mode from pen mode
• Change of tablet landscape orientations or to portrait mode (some tablets)
• Pan (Pan/Scroll) mode for pen buttons (for most tablets)
• Definition of tablet buttons (Intuos3, Cintiq 21UX upwards via the reactivated preference pane, Bamboo CTH via an additional tool)
• Functionality to disable pen buttons via Settings Menu and to assign Click
We may add further settings for change if required and feasible. Again, just contact us at: [email protected]
