input monitoring, my iMac and Wacom tablet

I keep getting this message "Security settings prevented the Wacom Software from posting an event" which prevents me from using pen on Wacom tablet. I've followed the directions given to allow accessibility but it doesn't work. I recently upgraded to Mac Catalina and also updated Wacom Intuos Pro tablet. Anyone else having this problem?

Also, I'm not able to add any applications to "Input Monitoring" in the Security and Privacy panel.

Some advice, suggestions, help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hey JeanneConw,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I see that you’re having issues using your Wacom pen on your Mac due to security settings and I’d like to help.

Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy and select the Privacy tab. Under Accessibility option, do you see the Wacom app on that list? If yes, then try toggling that option by unchecking the box and then checking it again.

If that doesn’t help, try removing the Wacom app under Accessibility by selecting the app and clicking on the minus tab below. You can add the app again by clicking on the plus tab.

Once these steps has been done, go ahead and restart your Mac to try again. Here's a helpful resource as well: Safely open apps on your Mac

Let me know how it goes.

Cheers!
