Wacom Won't Download On Mac
I started writing this in response to someone asking for help with this, but my reply got so long I thought I’d just make it a post.
The Problem.
- You downloaded the Wacom tablet bundle which was appropriate to your system at the time.
- Your system crashed/broke/failed, essentially just died a horrible death.
- You bought a new system but now your old downloads are not compatible with your new system.

Bad News first…

I am sorry to be the bearer of ill news, but you can’t switch between dmg and exe downloads. The choice you made on your first download is fixed and permanent. The reason being (apologies if this is obvious) that the software is provided by separate companies (not Wacom) and therefore the license agreements are for one piece of software. It would be like buying Adobe Photoshop Elements for OS X and expecting Adobe to send you a Windows version when you get a new PC.

The Good News.
- The Wacom driver somehow bug when 'heavy apps' are on. Inside of Wacom graphics tablet software. Mac Wacom Intuos. Follow the prompts to finish the driver installation. I have a driver installed for a little Intuos CTL-480 that works just fine, but not one for the Cintiq. Wacom Driver Fix for High Sierra/Mojave.
- Download and install the driver. Connect Wacom Cintiq to power and your PC or Mac using the 3-in-1 cable.Cintiq 22 comes with HDMI, USB and power cables. Follow the instructions of the Setup Wizard and you are ready to go. Make the Wacom Cintiq yours.
- Welcome to the Getting Started page Intuos. Thank you for your recent purchase of an Intuos tablet and welcome to the Wacom family. To get you up and running, we offer you free valuable software, as well as installation videos, webinars, blogs and software tutorials.
- If the Wacom Desktop Center is running, it can be opened from the Task Bar on Windows, or from the Dock on Mac. If the Wacom Desktop Center is not running: It can be opened on Windows by selecting the Start Menu, opening the Wacom Tablet folder and selecting 'Wacom Desktop Center'.
So that option is not open to you. However, I do have some advice as to what I would do in your situation. These are my solutions in order of preference (^-^)

1. Set up OS X on an external drive
External drives are really cheap now. I have a backup clone of my system on one of mine. The drive is about 1TB cost me £60-70 and that was a few years ago. I think the OS X partition is about half that…
I personally would just buy a copy of OS X from Apple (Snow Leopard/Lion/Mountain Lion are only £14 now). I would recommend Snow Leopard as it is widely considered the most stable of all the OS X systems and it takes up the least install space. However, you should buy what is best for you. But there is a link below just for reference.

You can find tons of tutorials about how to install OS X on to an external drive.

2. Try using a virtual machine
I have used VMware on my Mac to successfully run several virtual Windows systems (obviously my tablet worked fine too) so I would recommend it (although I haven’t tried running OS X on a Windows system). But I know there are many different virtual machines for Windows you can try for free. VirtualBox is one I have heard good things about but I’m afraid I’ve never tried it personally. Nevertheless, you would (again) be able to find tons of info on the internet about setting up an OS X system using Virtual Box. You would again need to purchase the OS X system, but what is £14 in the grand scheme of things?

Note. An alternative to buying OS X, if you know someone with a Mac…
If you have owned a mac which died/stopped working, you legally own a copy of OS X, which through no fault of your own you now cannot use. Therefore, if know someone with a working Mac you could just ask them to download the newest OS X (currently Yosemite) on to a USB for you, as technically it would be available to you if your mac was working. It is free after all. I think it is about 16GB (or possibly more) so you would need a suitable USB stick (or external drive partition). You would need to format the USB first, but that can all be done using Disk Utility. As ever, there are loads of walkthroughs on how to do this. In fact, it would be easiest to actually install OS X on the external drive using the Mac too, by booting into the Boot Manager (hold down Option when you hear the chime). Just remember NOT to click install straight after you have downloaded the installer as this would probably wipe the Mac you are using!

Wacom Software Download
Once you have one of these up and running, simply redownload the bundled programs and install (of course you’ll need to install your tablet drivers etc). It should all work fine.
Both these solutions would also work the other way (although you would have to buy Windows unless you have an install disc lying around. I have an old XP disc. Classic!). As I say, I have used VMware on my Macbook to run Windows and used my tablet (yes, with pressure sensitivity) so I know that it can be done.

But yes, that’s all from me. Hope this helps. Any questions, feel free to leave a comment below. I do try and get back to people eventually…
Good Luck (^-^)b
