Why Wacom tablets do not work properly on Sierra

This is the only thing that has helped. System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse/Trackpad: Set Double Click Speed slider all the way to Fast.

I was going insane for so long before.. randomly opening files, making mistakes in design files. Wacom only offered rolling drivers back which no longer worked. Changing this Accessibility setting seems to work. I guess Apple thought they were helping people double click more easily (never had a problem with that) which made tablet pen's sensitive input register as multiple clicks! Ugh. Thanks, Apple…

'If you have a problem clicking and dragging in Sierra with the 6.3.20-8 driver, please try to open the mouse preferences and move the doubleclick speed slider to 'fast'. Then try again. We have noticed that a slow setting might cause penclick issues.' Found this and worked for me.

Unfortunately didn't help me. Just for future readers' info, I have an Intuos 3 on an iMac. My exact problem is that the Wacom will not reliably bring windows to the front by clicking on them. I have to engage the dock - just momentarily will do - and then go back to the window I want to use. Otherwise it ignores my click. The mouse works for the same action, so it's just the Pen it seems, not an OS setting. Very annoying!

I have same problem :-( after I install the newest driver I reboot and the tab can't detect.. please someone help me what to do if only I re-install and didn't reboot so can work properly (I just keep the browser for asking for reboot open) and after I work I turn of Mac and turn on again same happens tab still can't detect :-(

I had this problem with my Intuos Pro M (on late 2011 MBP 15" with MacOS Sierra)

I've downloaded an older driver version and it seems to work out

After deinstalling / restarting with PRAM reset / installing older driver / restarting.

Here is the driver which I used: http://bit.ly/2d5UMQa

Hope that this might be the solution for some of you.

Thanks for posting this. I called support and they sent me a replacement, which displayed the same issue with clicking. Moving the mouse double-click speed slider to "fast" has made a night-and-day difference! I'll report back if there are any issues.

By the way, I attempted multiple versions of the driver–even the latest–without success.

LU88, and other frustrated Mac/Wacom users.

I have an Imac and an old Wacom Intuos 3. When I updated to Sierra (due to instability in my Mac) the old wacom pretty much stopped working. I loved it, so did a quick search of blogs and then replaced it with a brand new Wacom Intuos Art (Medium) Pen and Touch CTH-690. I un-installed the old Wacom Driver, installed the new one and plugged it in - it was terrible...... basically didn't work.

Wacom advised a whole new un-install and reinstall, update all programmes and operating systems (I use Creative Suite), and finally a full search of all the files for anything with wacom or tablet in the file or folder name and clear the trash can - and then clean re-install again. All to no avail.

Finally the problem was solved by creating a new and clean user on the Mac, and loading the driver into that user's account - now the tablet runs perfectly. (unfortunately I now have to transfer my mail etc accounts, and hopefully not the corrupted file.... a real pain)

So my guess is there is an issue with the Mac software and operating systems which is retaining a 'ghost' of some programming that corrupts the Wacom settings. This may be the issue for others too, so perhaps try it once you are sure you've tried everything else.

I just changed this setting, and it has made a world of difference. I also signed in to apple and searched for this thread again just to write a thank you. I had been using an un-responsive tablet for so long that I had forgotten they are actually convenient and useful! Thanks so much for this tip, seriously!

The NEW Wacom drivers are out (6.3.22-3) but they didn't fix my problem...

My problem is I can't use more then one Modifier key with a tool, so 2 or 3 keys are mostly not working (like 5% working).

Working with Wacom but I'm going to have to go back to the older drivers again i Think

I doubt there are legitimate issues with both the tablet and newer Mac OS. This is nothing more than forced/ intentional/ planned obsolescence.

This practice will bite Wacom in the a** ...that, they can be sure. It's already starting with the iPad, pencil and mirroring apps!

So to Wacom I hope you stay relevant up to the yr 2020. I have a feeling they would be scrambling for the exit before then.

I spent days installing/reinstalling countless Wacom tablet drivers for my Intous 3 on macOS10.12.6 Sierra. Most of the drivers were the latest versions. None of them recognised my tablet stating, "A supported device was not found on the system"

Finally WacomTablet_6.3.8-2 worked.

I hope this helps others

After almost a year, I finally have things working. The main problem was MMB would not be recognized, although there were some additional problems in ZBrush. Anyway, I went back to Wacom Driver 6.3.15-3. I'm using with OS 10.12.6 and everything if finally working.

Make sure you do an uninstall of Wacom driver first before installing 6.3.15-3.

Same issues with my Intuos 4 tablet (PTK440). Changed various drivers as per Wacom. Neither resolved the issue. Pen opens multiple windows, creates folders automatically in the finder. In a graphic app the pen flashes open multiple context windows. The pen will only work as a mouse if I use the eraser end. I'm not spending another 400$ on an other Wacom tablet after all this mess.

Not helpful to me either. I'm running a Mac Mini server pre-2010. My Int. 4 worked well before Sierra. Now my pen only works as a mouse when I use the eraser end. Using the pen end a whole mess of contextual menus pop up even in the finder. It's a real mess.
