I have an Aiptek 14000U graphics tablet which I used on my PC and now in spite of downloading the official drivers it still refuses to work so what am I doing wrong. I am running OSX Sierra

    Have you verified that they support sSierra if they don't then you have to wait until they do or downgrade to a version they support

    I checked the manufacturers web page, for the system requirements they only indicate:

     

    System Requirements Hardware
    System Requirements- Optical Drive (CD/DVD/Blueray)
    - 1 free USB port
    Windows:
    Windows 8 32bit/64bit
    Windows 7 32bit/64bit
    Windows Vista (min. SP1) 32bit/64bit
    Windows XP (min. SP2)
    MAC OS X:
    10.4 or above

    This is allusive though as 10.4.x is about 10 years old and quite antiquated. I recommend that you contact the manufacturer and see if they have any updates that would make your graphics tablet work with current versions of OS X.
