Its a Wacom Intuos Pro Small i've had since 2014, so its new and not very worn, it worked for months on my desktop mac, then i acquired the newest macbook, installed the driver and it worked there too for a while, until recently. The computer would flash messages like the USB device is using too much power and then suddenly the tablet wouldn't respond at all, with that USB Chord. I switched to a new USB chord and it worked again, for about 3 days until the same thing happened with it. No USB chord has worked since, and the tablet wont even respond on my old computer anymore. It simply flashes a single little white light on the surface by the touch wheel, and the battery light shines orange when plugged into the computer, HOWEVER when plugged into the wall it shines green indicating the battery is charged (I assume). I removed the tablet utility and the drivers half a dozen times, kept installing different version or the newer versions of the drivers on the macbook until i eventually gave up. I dont understand, it cant be the computer because the other computer doesnt read the tablet either, it cant be the tablets ability to maintain a charge because it flashes green when plugged into the wall....what could possibly be the problem?
Laptops are much more limited on the supply side for powering USB devices. This is limited by the operating system in the computer. There are some things that you can try such as a shorter cord if the cord is detachable. The cord length affects the voltage and that in turn affects the current. The OS then senses it a drops the connection. This is partly for safety and partly for battery conservation. For some time, that device was not recommended by Apple to be used for that matter. There was a bulletin issued on it but it appears that Apple did not do anything to change the situation.

Unplug the tablet and then plug it back in. This sorts it for me.

If you are using a Dell with Vista on it you can't use Mac )SX drivers. Get the Vista driver from here for the Intuos3: ftp://198.145.255.42/drivers/IBMPC/pro/WacomTablet_605-7.exe

Hi Bengref
Just talked to WACOM USA about a similar (but not exactly the same) problem with my Intuos 3. One of their procedures was;
go to the ALL Programs directory,
go to the the WACOM TABLET directory
open the WACOM Tablet Properties window
click on the "About" button
while holding down the CTRL key, click on the "Diagnose" button
click on the "recalibrate" button
Another procedure
go to the All Programs Directory
go to the WACOM Tablet Directory
click on the :WACOM Table Preference File Utility"
Under "My Preferences" click on remove
Good Luck
