Intuos3 and Mac OS X (10.6)- No preferences menu/program/software

I have a Macbook Pro running on Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6), and an Intuos3 tablet. The tablet works as a plug and play, but I'm unable to get to the preferences software to make the tablet work full-screen.
After doing a search for the preferences software program and installing two drivers (one off of the wacom site, one off of my original install disc), the program still isn't showing up.

The wacom site doesn't have an faq for the intuos3 on 10.6 - help!

I use to use the Wacom tablet on a Windows and the preferences is its own application, so when i installed the Wacom driver I couldn't find it in the Wacom folder. After looking around I realize it's in the system preferences area. It took me three installs of different drivers to figure this out.

I am running OS X 10.4.11 and would like to upgrade my operating system?

Please provide more information.
To what would you like to upgrade it?

Since OSX Mavericks was just announced, I'm going to assume that's what you're wanting to upgrade to.

Not all Macs can run Mavericks.

Mavericks Capable Macs

Mavericks, like its predecessor Mountain Lion, requires one of the following Macs with at least 2 GB of RAM and 8 GB of available hard drive space:
  • iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
  • MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
  • MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
  • MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
  • Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
  • Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
  • Xserve (Early 2009)

If your Mac isn't one of the ones listed above, you won't be able to upgrade.

If you have an iMac, MacBook, MacBook Pro, or Mac mini model that was originally released in Early/Mid 2006, the latest version of Mac OS X your system supports is Snow Leopard.

You can check out Parallels or VMWare Fusion which will allow you to run Windows & OSX side-by-side.

I have installed the Wacom disk (Pen Tablet Driver) and it is not in my applications folder. I have a Mac and when I go to system preferences under 'Other' it shows Wacom Tablet. I click on it and it...

It sounds like you're running an older Mac based on their legacy PowerPC processors, which aren't compatible with software designed for their newer Intel-based series. The last version of Mac OS X to support the PowerPC line of computers was OS X 10.5.8 Snow Leopard.

If you want to be able to open the Wacom application, you'll either need an older version compiled for PowerPC or, more likely, you'll need to purchase a newer Mac, either new or secondhand.
