Download Widgets for Dashboard right from AppStore

I think that it could be great that you can download widgets for dashboard right from the App Store on Mac OS X.
With this great feature Apple will boost the popularity of widgets because right now if you want to install a widget you need to download it, unzip it and then install it another time, then you will see the keep it advice or remove.
I love widgets and Apple need to do more about them, also by having a new section in the App Store only for Widgets there will be developers who will build better widgets and also you could pay for great widgets.
I will send this suggestion to the suggestion email from Apple.

rbtwrld,
Sounds like a good idea!
Instead of sending an email, try using Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback.

  • Hi, I'm trying to download widgets for dashboard. Seems every widget I try either says it can't find the server or says it can't install because its from an unknown developer. It's on the apple site so I'm a little confused. I've tried like 15.

    So does anyone know or have the same issue. It seems a little odd.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    When you download a widget, you are getting a message telling you that it's not from an identified developer. This message is caused by Gatekeeper > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US You can fix this issue by two ways:
    1. Right-click the widget and choose "Open".
    2. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General, and tick "Anywhere" under "Allow applications downloaded from"

  • I cannot download or upgrade any apps from AppStore on my iphone 4 after upgrading to ios 5.1.1

    I upgraded my iphone 4 to ios 5.1.1 using itunes.
    After which I started using my phone as usual.
    I was not able to upgrade or download apps from AppStore using wi-fi or 3G.
    When I select any app for upgradation or downloading it starts, But It stops at 'waiting' stage , And never goes to 'loading' stage.
    Please help resolve this issue.
    Thanks!

    Have you tried buying or upgrading on your mac or pc via itunes?  You may have bad wifi/3G connections.  And, for 3G, most carriers place a file size limit on tranmissions.  I think that affects app downloads, if they're big.

  • IPhone Stats Widget for Dashboard

    Looking for a widget for the dashboard that tells stats of your connected iPhone. I couldn't find it. Quick info like battery percentage, signal strength, charge cycles, time use, etc.

  • Widget for dashboard won't download

    From the dashboard I try to download a widget. Whatever widget I choose, I end up in http://www.apple.com/downloads/. At the end of the page there is a link to dasboard widgets and I can choose a widget again. But again when I click download: I get back to http://www.apple.com/downloads/.
    How to download a widget?

    Can you download the widget directly from the developer's website? 

  • His there a widget for dashboard which i can use to turn the infrared functionality for my apple remote on and off quickly?

    As many of you i suppose, i have a universal dock and a macbook pro.
    Now because this dock and my MBP are often in the same room and both react to the remote, it would be handy if there was a widget which i could use to temporarily turn of my infrared port of the macbook, when i want to use my remote for the dock only.
    If i only want to use the remote for my macbook it's simple, i just unplug my iphone, but if i want to do the opposite, use it only for my dock while working on the computer i have to complete several steps in the system preferences before i can get what i want.
    So is there an easy way (i was thinking a widget in the dashboard) to get around this?
    thx in advance for your thoughts!

    Unfortunetally, No and no.  Apple TV is a closed API so developers are right now unable to create an app that is very compatible to connect to Apple TV.  There is also no remote app on the Mac App Store. 
    Let me know if this solves your questions or if you have any others,
    Thanks,

  • My Yahoo widget for dashboard

    The "My Yahoo" widget on my dashboard has stopped working. In the purple bar that used to show "my latest headlines" it now just stays on "now loading". Also, my new mail is not indicated. The "search" to yahoo works. Any advise? I did some searching and discovered the Yahoo Widget Engine, but understand that this runs on Konfabulator and not on Dashboard. I removed the My Yahoo widget/preferemces and downloaded it again from:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/news/myyahoo.html
    It still does no work. Any information would be appreciated.

    Can you download the widget directly from the developer's website? 

  • Motorsport Widget for Dashboard?

    Hi all,
    I'm looking for a Dashboard Widget to check latest Motorsport results, qualifying times etc.
    I know there are some for F1 but I want Motor GP, World and British Superbikes...... Motorbikes really! I don't mind if it does F1 and rallying etc tho.
    I'd also like it to have a brief story with each headline so I don't have to click each story and have safari fire up to see if I want to read it or not.
    Am I asking too much?
    Thanks in advance guys and gals.

    Hi Pete, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I wonder if an RSS Reader Widget wouldn't work for you...

    Hello Wyodor,
    thanks for your reply on my question.
    You are wright the index file is 308 KB.
    And offcourse that I delete my files and documents is not an Iweb problem, but because my English is not that good, that I thougt I try to tell the whole story, and hope people can read trough the lines.
    Why I didn't use Iweb to upload to the server is because the server company recommanded to use file zilla. And I am a nobody with this kind of things, so I did exactly what they tell me to do.
    No, i did not make a backup of Iweb and the domain file, but reading other messages on this forum showed me that I can maybe try to make empty the cashfile (?)
    and otherwise I have bad luck and have to make my website again. Offcourse I have a lot of examples from all the pages (copied from the local map to my USB stick) and my website is aprox. 15 Mb, (not so big) so it will cost me a few nigths.
    But I'm still hoping on a miracle :-)
    greetings Lasource
