Wacom Intuos 3 Tablet Issues with Mojave OS. Does the CTL4100 work?

[PozziToonsXtina]

Help! So after updating to Mojave on my mac, turns out my Intuos 3 is no longer supported. I can get the cursor to move around on the screen but nothing clicks. Yes I've tried everything, old drivers, delete, reinstall, etc Teh closest I got was having it work like a mouse and clicking...but now I can't even get that back. Straight from Wacom's mouth, Intuos 3 is no longer supported so unless someone has some sort of workaround, I need a new tablet so I can continue working. My worry is that I'm going to have the same problem even with a new tablet!

So can anyone tell me for sure if the $79.99 Wacom CTL4100 works with the mojave OS and if it also works fine in photoshop & animate?

Thanks!

Go to System Preferences / Securit and Privacy / Privacy Tab / Accessibility / click the lock in the bottom left corner of your window to unlock (you'll need your password), then you can select the Wacom tablet in there. I just had the same problem and this worked great for me. Hope it works for you!

OOOMMGGG thank you!!! You just saved me! It worked!!!!!!

Ok...new problem....pressure sensitivity isn't working in PS ...seems to work ok in Animate though -_-

EDIT: Oh wait! Ah hah! Photoshop was also on the list needing to be unlocked! It works! I really don't like how I have to 'allow them to control my computer' but at least it's working and I can finish my job!

I have the same problem. I did the fix that you said but now the clicking works 60% of the time, but 40% of the time it doesn't which is still super frustrating. Any other ideas how to fix this? I have googled everything but can't find any more solutions.

Thank you! My old Intuos 3 still works. Could replace it, but kind of attached!

doesn't work for me... unfortunately... first of all i didn't have wacom tablet driver under privacy/accessibility, i found it in the library added to the accessibility, checked it but nothing happened... any other ideas?

The only way I could get my Intuos 3 to work with Mojave was by uninstalling the Wacom driver first, then I installed the driver compatible with Intuos 3 (6.3.15-3). Go to Applications > Wacom Tablet > Wacom Tablet Utility and remove tablet software.

Thank you Autumn_N_, yours was the advice that FINALLY worked for me.

This WORKS!!

I had to install the Wacom Driver from Wacom first, then di the "Manual" fix, and works PEFECTLY.

I tried to get my Intuos 3 to work for hours using many of the suggestions from here and from other sources. I got it to work by:

1. Unistalling the Wacom App

2. Doing a Library search under Wacom and deleting any related p.list files and any other Wacom files in my Library.

3. I then reinstalled the Wacom Driver app version: Intuos 3 (6.3.15-3)

4. In System Preferences, I added both the WacomTabletDriver.app and The WacomTabletSpringboard to allowed app in the Privacy tab.

I had tried installing the above driver app multiple times without success. It only worked after I did step 2 above.

5. It seems to work perfectly on my new I-Mac 27, running OS10.14.6
