I noticed my Wacom Intuos 3 mouse was acting strange (clicks not always being registered). I tried to re-install the Wacom Drivers for the tablet to troubleshoot whether this was a hardware (mouse itself) or software (drivers) problem.
When I reinstalled the latest drivers that work with Intuos 3 tablets for Mac (Driver 6.3.15-3), the Wacom Preferences Pane kept saying there was something wrong with the driver and the computer needed to be restarted, and if the issue persisted to re-install the driver. I restarted my computer a few times and still had the issue, then I un-installed and I re-installed the driver and still had the issue.

I then tried installing the most recent drivers (Driver 6.3.37-3 for macOS 10.11 - 10.15) because I thought that might work with my newer Mac OS, and after installation the Wacom Preferences Pane kept saying there were no devices attached, even when my tablet was plugged in.
How do I get drivers for Intuos 3 that work with Mac OS 10.12? It used to work just fine, but now with no working drivers, my tablet is not mapped to my screen properly and using my mouse/pen is terrible.
Wacom's macOS drivers for Bamboo, Graphire, Intuos 1, 2 & 3 and Cintiq 1st gen tablets have bugs in them that cause them to completely fail to start on macOS 10.15 Catalina and later versions (including 11 Big Sur and 12 Monterey). This doesn't apply to the Windows driver, or to the drivers for their newer tablets.
When you try to open the Wacom preference pane with a Bamboo tablet, you'll get an error message saying "Waiting for synchronization", then finally "There is a problem with your tablet driver. Please reboot your system. If the problem persists reinstall or update the driver". For an Intuos 3 or Cintiq 1st gen tablet, the preference pane will open, but clicking anything will cause it to crash with the message "There was an error in Wacom Tablet preferences." For Graphire and Intuos 1 & 2 tablets, the driver's installer couldn't even run on Catalina.
If the driver listed is not the right version or operating system, search our driver archive for the correct version. Enter Wacom Intuos3 into the search box above and then submit. In the results, choose the best match for your PC and operating system.
Once you have downloaded your new driver, you'll need to install it. In Windows, use a built-in utility called Device Manager, which allows you to see all of the devices recognized by your system, and the drivers associated with them.
Updated Wacom drivers are periodically made available on Wacom's Product Resources page (see instructions above) and in Wacom Center. Check in and update regularly so your device has the latest features and functionality.
If your Wacom tablet keeps disconnecting, reinstall the Wacom drivers and reset all Wacom settings. Also, do a thorough check on the hardware and cables for any wear and tear, and replace parts if necessary. If none of these work, contact Wacom and get the unit replaced.
My intuous 5 touch got USB connection problems lately and I reverted back to my intuous 3, same model as you stated. On OS X Sierra. I had just to download a previous driver version and it works fine on sierra.
Thanks for the info. Do you happen to know if the older driver you reverted to was v6.3.15-3? Since my post here, I found a couple of instances of Wacom Europe telling people that this driver version will work with an Intuos 3 and Sierra.
Since I started this thread, I just wanted to report in that I haven't had any issues with the 6.3.15-3 driver and my Intuos 3 under Sierra. For reference, my system was a clean install of 10.12.4 subsequently updated to 10.12.5. To be honest though, I'm not a terribly sophisticated Wacom user. I only use two or three buttons on the tablet and almost never the popup menu.
I spent days installing/reinstalling countless Wacom tablet drivers for my Intous 3 on macOS10.12.6 Sierra. Most of the drivers were the latest versions. None of them recognised my tablet stating, "A supported device was not found on the system"
I tried updating a MBP 15" (mid 2011) from Sierra to High-Sierra but that did not work (perhaps because of the fusion drive), so I had to install a backup (of Sierra). The Wacom Intuos 3 tablet works fine with Sierra (with the same tablet driver). 2ff7e9595c
