Getting a Dashboard quit window message...

Hello all.
I have started to add some widgets to Dashboard, all downloaded from Apple's site, but I will state that not all the widgets in their own site have stated that they are Leopard 10.5 compatible. I've also added two 'Web Clip' widget from my local websites, one is a company's share price and the other the local petrol/gas price.
Sometimes upon the 2nd or 3rd time reactivating Dashboard, I notice the widgets have "frozen"... I know this because one of the widgets I downloaded was "fan" and the fans (of the mac's internal fan speed etc) has stopped turning...
*Anyway, so I exit Dashboard and return to the Desktop, and not long, I would get this pop-up window message:*
+(Yellow Exclamation Point) The application DashboardClient quit unexpectedly.+
+Mac OS X and other applications are not affected.+
+Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple (Ignore/Report... Buttons)+
So I send the report anyway thought Apple could use all the information.
I bet this has something to do with the "frozen" widgets inside Dashboard... maybe it's one of the widgets or not, I am not sure.
Thanks and cheers

hi,
i'm getting the same thing (so i figured i'd add to this post), but all i did was run the most recent software update and my dashboard started "unexpectedly quitting" on me. i didn't add any new widgets or change anything in it. it's annoying and a little unnerving. i'm wondering if it'll cause system instability later on. any advise would be much appreciated.
thanks a bunch!

  • When I try to open Mail, I get the "Mail quit unexpectedly" message. What do I need to do to fix this?

    I've never had problems with Mail before, but today it will not open. Each time I try, I get the problem report window with the message "Mail quit unexpectedly." I'm baffled. I have no idea what caused the problem.
    I've run Disk Utility.app, and the drive checks out fine.
    Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

  • I get error box THot2nd Window; message is cannot open powrprof.dll. system crashes

    I have a Toshiba Tecra running XP professional Service Pack 3.
    I was using Firefox and now have Chrome just installed. Problem occurs with both.
    I routinely use GFI Viper - deep scan clear
    Yesterday I installed MS Security Essentials - clear
    I down loaded MS safety Scanner - clear
    What happens - After 1-2 hrs running the system makes the 'somethings wrong' sound and the THot2nd Window with the powrprof.dll.......message appears. This happens repeatedly . There is a box that says the system has crashed and the program will be terminated. As I try to close these boxes more appear until there is a Unresponsive Program box appears and I click end now. Then when I click Start to shut down I am prompted to log off [which I dont usually see]. Either clicking logoff or cancel or x-ing out has no effect. Eventually the system restarts.

    You've done lots of things you did not report to us. Among them, you did this one wrong. So let's start here.
    I did as instructed re sfc.exe and there was a momentary small black screen then it disappeared.
    So run sfc /scannow properly, which is at the command prompt.

  • Every time I try to play the video ads for iOS 7, the system crashes and I get a "Safari website quit unexpectedly" message.  I have an iMac 23", 3.06 Intel Core 2 duo.

    I have an iMac 23", 3.06 Intel Core 2 duo.  Whenever I try to play YouTube videos, the system crashes and I get a "Safari quit unexpectedly" message.
    I know there are Apple vs YouTube issues, but the same thing happens when I try to play video ads from the Apple site.
    The computer is 4 yrs old- this problem started a couple of months ago.  No major changes, just updated as available. 
    Any suggestions....?

    I don't have any Safari extensions that I know of.  I didn't install any anti-virus.
    This is on the error message when it comes up.  I went to the WebProcess application in Time Machine and tried to restore it to one year ago, but it didn't fix the problem.  As I recall, this began about the time Apple and YouTube parted ways- whether that is coincidence or not...
    /System/Library/StagedFrameworks/Safari/Webkit2.framework/WebProcess.app/Content s/MacOS/WebProcess
    Thanks for taking the time to look at this.  I really appreciate the effort.  I'm a amatuer at this, I'm afraid.

  • Getting itunes has stopped working message after downloading to Windows 8.1

    Getting ITunes has stopped working message after 10 seconds after downloading to Windows 8.1

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • I need to reinstall my CS3 creative suite I bought with a student license.  It allows me to install but never asked for the serial number.  I can open the programs but can not use them, get a "Adobe updater quit unexpectedly" message.

    I bought a CS3 creative suite on a student license in 2008.  The original MAC laptop has died and I am trying to install it on a MAC desktop.  the programs installs successfully but never ask for a serial number.  the programs will open but I can not open any files,  I get a Adobe Updater quite unexpectedly message.  Is this because the serial number has not been entered? I have tried chat about this problem twice, also use Adobe connect and was not helped. How do I enter this serial number?

    activate is grayed out.  Registration is available and when I select it, it says "A problem was encountered while trying to send the information over the internet"  So I select "submit again" and nothing happens.  Then the program closes and I get the added updater quite message. 

  • I am having problems with migration assistant (windows pc to Mac 2011) When I get to the 'Quit other applications' box and click continue, nothing happens. There are no other apps running - any ideas, please?

    I am having probems with migration assistant. Trying to transfer data from a windows laptop to iMac 2011. It was working fine when I did the set-up yesterday, but it was going to take hours to transfer some videos so I quit the process with the intention of doing it again at a later stage. However today I find that everytime I get to the 'Quit other applications' box on the Mac and click 'continue', nothing happens. Have checked mission control and confirmed no other apps running. Tried several times with the same result every time. Migration Assistant running on my laptop with the 'Waiting for mac to connect' box displayed. Mac is connected to wi-fi OK as able to use Safari and access internet. Any ideas, please?

    Thanks for your suggestions. Have managed to get Migration Assistant working but now have a new problem, i.e. where does it save the transferred files?!! Searched a few forums and it seems it saves it under your old username, or suchlike. Anyway I tried logging on as a new user using my old user name but there were only a handful of files there, couldn't locate the majority of stuff from my old laptop. Anyway I don't intend to go through any more hoops with MA - will just save the important stuff to an external drive and transfer it that way. Not impressed with MA at all. I thought it was supposed to be a user-friendly tool to simplify the transfer from pc to Mac - not my experience, I'm afraid!

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
    If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:

  • How do I get callback or windows messaging Events working on a 6534 card do pattern output?

    Hi,
    I am working on a fast track project and I am trying unsuccesfully to get my buffered output to work. I have 827 different size buffers of data that I need to output to a digital output. I need to wait until each buffer is output, then call some other functions before outputing the next buffer.
    Although I only want to set one bit on and off I have i16 buffers that contains my data. I have based my program on the 6523SingleBufferedOutput NI-DAQ example. However I do not want to poll the number of buffer elements remaining, I want to use the NI-DAQ event message to tell my code when the DIG_Block_Out function is complete. This appears to be message type 2. I am basing the ev
    ent code from another example in the Function Reference Manual. I have tried both a callback and an window message, but neither function is ever called. I am not sure if the problem is to do with the event configuration or the DO not completing. It does look like only part of my data is being output, however I tried with message type to send a message after n scans and it did not call my functions either.
    I can send code to anyone who is willing to help. Help would be really be appreciated as I am behind now on my project,
    Thanks,
    David

    Hi LeoLady!
    Having the preview window up to get a quick and good overview of your mail is very handy and I understand you would like to get that feature back!
    Have you tried to close the mail app using cmd+q and opening again? Have you tried taking your mouse the whole way to the right in the mail window and try to "drag" the preview window back out again?
