Description

An expert system to connect and use your older Wacom tablet with newer macOS versions - as simple as that!

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 enquiry@wptrnpt.co.uk. 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: enquiry@wptrnpt.co.uk

Uwe ROCKED—and now my Intuos does, too!

I’ve used an Intuos 2 tablet on my Mac mini for years, without a hiccup. I’m currently running High Sierra and a couple days ago the tablet suddenly went dark. No signal, no response. I had made no upgrades or modifications to my system, so I was befuddled. Assuming I needed an updated driver I went to Wacom and tried to download and install one compatible with my system. No go. It downloaded but wouldn't install, no matter how I adjusted my security settings. Apple doesn’t trust unidentified developers even if they’re old standards like Wacom. So I went to the App Store and ran across Connect my tablet.

The directions are detailed and clear, and following them to the letter is imperative. I thought I had, but apparently still had remnants of an old driver standing in the way. So I sent a help email and the response by Uwe in the UK was IMPRESSIVE beyond words. He never lost patience for a moment (I could learn from him!) and guided me to a successful installation of the appropriate driver, into a spanking clean system. My Wacom is on the road again!

Uwe, I don’t know how you keep your cool with people who manage to flub up as I did. But this app and your SUPERLATIVE customer care makes this a hands-down BARGAIN to keep your tablet functional, no matter what technology does to ditch our trusted tools! Uwe rocks and I’m rolling! This app WORKS and I could not be more grateful.

Simple set-up (after 4 tries)

The title may be confusing with the five stars given. But with the personalized and detailed instructions from Wacom's customer support they deserve it. I updated my 2015 MacBook Pro to Catalina and started this program. At first, the steps were pretty confsuing and when I didn't see certain folders or files, I finally reached out to customer support. Uwe Huedepohl was so extremely helpful with everything. When I emailed support, I thought I'd get a reponse back in a few days. Wrong! It was 10 minuets!!! AND he was in the office until around 7pm helping me out. Come to find out, if you have the Clean My Mac application on your computer, you do have to change some things up as its not entirely compatible with Wacom (I just deleted the entire application since I never use it). That, and you also have to pay attention to which Driver you download.
After I did a clean of my files, deleted some software, and with Uwe's help -of course- I set the tablet up in less than 20 min. After running through it 4 times it became a lot easier to navigate. Best advise would be to trust the process and if you need any help, contact customer support. They are extremely helpful!!!

Thank you very much for your great feedback and experience report! It motivates us not only to keep improving Connect my tablet but also to help when needed. We love Wacom tablets and are happy for each and every one reconnected (but we are not affiliated with Wacom). We wish you much creative joy and success with your tablet and thank you again!

Thank you Uwe, you guys ROCK!!

I am most impressed with the level of customer service. Something I have never experienced before! Oh and the app is amazing, so much work and detail has gone into this. It's easy to follow and I was able to get my old Intuos 3 up and running again on Catalina. But I quickly found a problem with the cursor shaking while using the mouse or pen. If I grounded my left hand on the frame of my iMac, the shaking would stop-very strange. I found a few others online who had the same issue with their tablets and it had nothing to do with this Connect my Tablet app. The answer for most seemed to be changing the frequency to "standard mode" instead of "recognition data". This required going to the tablet preferences pane to make the adjustment. Unfortunately, achieving connectivity with this app means you won't have access to all preference options. Uwe from Connect My Tablet was unrelenting with his support and determination to figure this out. And he did! Hats off, they are true geniuses and professionals. If you have any issues, do not hesitate to reach out to them. They're amazing!

:) Thank you for making our day with your equally amazing review and of course the motivating 5 stars. It was a pleasure to help you and we often learn something new ourselves when users reach out to us. This was the first time for us, that this change of frequency setting was required but we might build it into our Troubleshooting routine in one of our future versions in case other users require it. Most of the preference pane functions for Intuos 3 tablets are configurable again after connection with Connect my tablet, but this particular setting was not available (yet) and we are happy that we still could help you. We wish you lots of creative fun and success with your reconnected tablet!
