Make some changes in the Wacom preference pane.Change System preferences to 32-bit mode (with CMD-i on the System preferences app > checkmark at 'open in 32 bit mode').The Wacom preferences pane now shows and opens, but acts weird. You can check versions of the prefpane file with Cmd-i if you get confused. Just be sure you keep the newer prefpane file and replace ist with the ist from the old prefpane.Replace this ist file with the one from the old preference pane file in step 3.Open it with: right-click > Show Package Contents. Navigate to your the prefpane of the newer driver: Open the old prefpane wacomtablet.prefpane file that you copied to your Desktop with: right-click > Show Package Contents. ~/Libray/PreferencePanes/wacomtablet.prefpaneĭownload a newer driver, that does work in High Sierra. Or it might be here in your User library Libray/PreferencePanes/wacomtablet.prefpane Look up the preference pane file in the Library

With my Intuos1 tablet, in my case this was version 6.2.0w4 I managed to get a working Wacom Preference Pane with the following trick/steps:ĭownload the old driver that works. Unfortunately this does not work anymore in High Sierra. The solution for a working Preference Pane for previous MacOS versions was to open System preferences in 32-bit mode, as described in this thread.The above works, you have a working tablet, but without a working Preference pane in System Preferences, as described in this thread. Then import/restore these setting with the same Wacom Tablet Utility. Using a legacy driver, in my case 6.2.0w4, downloadable on the Wacom website:Įxport/backup the Wacom preference file from my pre- High Sierra (Mountain Lion in my case) computer/backup with the right settings, with the Wacom Tablet Utility in Applications > Wacom-tablet. I read all solutions in this and other threads.įirst, the following steps got me a more or less working tablet, as described in this thread: I have an old first Wacom Intuos first generation (GD-0912-U) tablet, and ran into the same problems as described above, after I upgraded to High Sierra from Mountain Lion.Īfter a lot of reading and trial-and-error, I now have a fully working old Wacom tablet, with a fully working Wacom preference pane in System Preferences. Then switched System Preferences to 32bit and back, opening the prefpane before, in between and after. I managed to get my Wacom Intuos GD-0912-U (first generation Intuos A4 size) tablet working in High Sierra, with a fully functional Wacom Preference Pane, by using a newer driver and preference pane, and hacking the preference pane file: I replaced the ist in the package of the newer preference pane (6.3.15-3) with the ist from the old preference pane (6.2.0w4) that was working in older macOS.
