Wacom Bamboo Fun: MacOSX

Mesalline · 12-25-2008, 04:21 AM

Today for christmas I got a Wacom Bamboo: Fun Graphics Tablet. I'm installing it now but I can't seem to be able to use the track pad on my MacBook when the tablets plugged in.
Can anyone help please? Cheers
Best wishes x

I haven't bought a tablet yet, but I'm guessing it is considered a mouse by the computer so the first thing I would check is System Preferences->Keyboard & Mouse->Ignore trackpad when mouse is present. System Preferences might be in your dock, but if not you could find it in the Applications->Utilities folder or in the Apple menu.

Thanks, I just figured that out the same time you posted haha :)
I've come across another problem...(Damn I hate technology!) I can't seem to be able to adjust the pressure sensitivity. It's far too sensitive for my liking, for instance you have to press -really- lightly on the tablet to get a thin line. It's not showing up in system preferences with the other options, nor is it on any of the disks.

Did you restart the Mac after installing the software that came with it? Sometimes these things will not show up until after a restart as they will not fulling install until you shut down the computer.

Is there a seperate program in the Applications or Utilities folder?

ah, I've got it working, I still can't find the actual pressure sensitivity option but if I move the tip feel and the eraser feel options then it's sort of the same thing
Thanks everyone =)

Tip feel should be the pressure sensitivity option. Glad to hear the problem is solved.
