Genius tablet drivers

[DeltaMac]

Hanvon claims Mac compatibility at their web site.
If the software that you are trying to install is an .exe file, then that won't work on a Mac.

Have you tried the Mac drivers from the Hanvon download page?

Does your tablet show up in the Ink pref pane, in your System Preferences?

If no Mac apps come with your tablet, then you would have to rely on software that tablets can use. That's something you will have to experiment with.

If you have no success at all, and you really want to use that tablet, and if you have an Intel Mac, you can always install Windows...

I made a profile just to reply to all the annoying people in this thread.

OP, and anyone who has this problem;
Your Genius tablet will have a website address on it: www.geniusnet.com
On this website you will find all the genius tablets for sale (they are indeed still making them)
Go to the 'downloads' section of the top menu
Find your model of tablet in the selection menu.
Select the appropriate download option (In this case, mac)
Download and install the damn driver.

It's not that hard and it works.
Fuck all you people who think that you HAVE to have a wacom, what damn difference does it make? A tablet only works as well as your skill is. Don't bust hundreds of dollars on your first tablet, you don't even know if you will like it.

It's pretentious fags like you who make people hate mac users.

So you joined this forum and revived a four-year-old thread for the sole purpose of posting gratuitous digs at other members? Welcome to the forum

I read that post, and thought "should I rise to the bait?"
Sounds like daintdemure has sniffed the inside of a graphics tablet one too many times...
Time to chill a little, dude! Get out of the sun, eh?
It's just a tablet - no need to get your knickers in a twist - and for a 4-year old thread, too!

I think the original thread was simply pointing out some of the challenges of using some kinds of input hardware with OS X. OS X driver support sometimes may not be complete for those devices - and remains much the same today. Full feature support for all tablet functions? Not always there with OS X ... And Windows (maybe even some flavor of linux) can be an option that (sometimes) is worth checking (even for us Mac users)

It would be different if the arguments in the thread were "buy an Audi or something more expensive than an Audi" when the problem was getting an iPod to work in a car (that was a 27 year old Toyota with an impressive mileage, and if it happened now. But it's not about being a snob about a car or a hardware, and the posts you read and reacted to are from 2007. And that's quite a few operating systems ago.
And I would also think that Holli hasn't been just waiting for drivers or workarounds for still using the tablet that she had in 2007 and way before 2007. Most likely she'll be using a much newer computer too than whatever she used to wrote the first post.

But neat to know they are still making tablets. So perhaps someone by now has a much newer version of a Genius tablet so they can also find the drivers easier for it. Mac OS X was way less popular years ago (even though in 2007 they were already much more popular OS than say in 2002). Welcome on the boards
