I recently asked this question in the Graphic Design community to have it marked as off-topic and recommend it's placement here.
Background
Being a freshman at college, and learning that I could get Adobe Creative Cloud for $20 a month, the opportunity was not skipped. With previous knowledge in Photoshop and Illustrator this was my perfect chance to get into graphic design not only as a hobby, but for the programs I write. After "struggling" with the trackpad on my laptop, I thought it would be best to buy an Intuos Tablet. So.. I did. I came home unboxed it, installed the drivers, and restarted. You know that normal pesky stuff. I turned on my laptop and the tablet works perfectly around that system as in controlling my mouse and whatnot. I launch Photoshop CC and this is what leads into the problem section...
Problem
Photoshop CC
Upon launching Photoshop CC, creating a document, and making a background layer; I moved the stylus over to select my brush tool and began to draw on the canvas. I pressed the stylus down and nothing occurred. Thinking it might be the brush tool, I proceeded to erase the white background and nothing still. Upon continuously testing the other tools I can say for certainty that they do not work.
Illustrator CC
Thinking that this issue might carry over into Illustrator CC I wanted to test it. Upon launching, and setting up the artboard and what not, I selected my brush tool. To my surprise it actually drew, but it does not actively draw on the canvas like it will with my touchpad.
Troubleshooting
I played with both the tablet/stylus settings within System Preferences trying different things, but the problem was not solved! Thinking that it may be a Photoshop CC or Illustrator CC settings problem I searched and found nothing.
Question
Upon all of my relentless google searching and trying I still can not get this to work inside of the programs mentioned. Are there any settings that I may have overlooked on making this thing work or will it simply not work?

Update 1
Upon installing the drivers on my Girlfriend's windows 10 based laptop, and testing in Photoshop CC (Same Version) it works perfectly! If this helps reduce some scenarios.
Update 2
Through extensive research in Reddit and The Adobe Support Community, I came across something interesting! This same problem seemed to happen in earlier versions of OS updates while the drivers for Wacom were behind. So to put this to the test, I installed macOS Sierra on a portable hdd along Photoshop CC and the drivers. Come to find out it works perfectly as it should! I will update this question with an answer as to how it was "fixed".
Update 3
The answer was added, but I can not accept it as the answer within 15 hours of posting it. Anyone viewing this question from now (06/21/2017 16:48 -6:00 CDT) until 06/22/2017 07:48 -6:00 CDT please refer to the answer from the OP as to how the problem was resolved!
