Since ICS, widgets don't work.

None of my basic widgets (bluetooth, gps and wifi toggles) appear anywhere. I have done a long click on the home screen and all I get is an option to choose where I want my wallpaper to be sourced. Not interested in that at all. I went to the Store and downloaded a couple of widgets that are supposed to do the same thing, but they don't work, telling me how to install them, but they don't install either. Any ideas? Very frustrating. Thanks.

As to your question about the widgets from the store, does it go through the download of the app, but then you cannot find them anywhere? If so, when you install a "widget" app, they are installed, but you have to then go and add them to your home screen with the procedure talked about already. There may be some configuration to the app, but otherwise a "widget" app has to be placed where you want it.
Does that help?

Validation widget don't work in regions?

Is it true, Validation Widget don't work in regions? If I
create a text validation widget, then wrap it in a region for xml
data, the validation no longer functions for the widget. Is there
something I'm missing here, or does it simply not work in that
configruation?
Thanks,
Nathan

Hi Nathan,
There is a workaround to have the validation widgets working
inside a spry:region.n
The reason why they don't work inside a region is because the
spry region removes anything from page when it is created. In this
way, the widget remains somewhere in the memory instantiated and
will search from an element that no longer exists.This will make
the widget to not function properly.
You should do the following to have the widgets working
inside a spry:region.
- add the widgets' constructors instantiation inside the
region
- make an extra check if the widgets already exist and
destroy them if any. I
Below is a code sample of what you should do:
<div spry:region="ds1">
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
<span id="sprytextfield1">
<input type="text" name="text1" id="text1" />
<span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">A value is
required.</span></span>
<p><span id="sprytextarea1">
<label>
<textarea name="textarea1" id="textarea1" cols="45"
rows="5"></textarea>
<span id="countsprytextarea1"> </span>
</label>
<span class="textareaRequiredMsg">A value is
required.</span><span
class="textareaMinCharsMsg">Minimum number of characters not
met.</span><span class="textareaMaxCharsMsg">Exceeded
maximum number of characters.</span></span></p>
<p>
<input type="submit" name="button" id="button"
value="Submit" />
</p>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
</div>
Hope this makes things more clear,

Dashboard Widgets don´t work with Leopard

After installing Leopard the Widgets worked for a short time.
I have installed the dashboard tools but did nothing with them.
I don´t know if the widgets ran after this.
Now I can press F12, the + sign appears in the left corner.
I can press the + sign and the dashbord appears at the bottom of the desktop.
If I click at a Widget the Dashboard disappears and nothing happens.
No Widget starts.
If I move a Widget to the desktop it disappears if I release the mouse button. The Dashboard disappears too.

to fritzk who originally reported this and all others posting here —
i have also reported in this forum (as have others), the problem with the widgets freezing —>> see my post here about it. that post also references other posts that have found the same thing.
yes, we know about the workaround of creating a non-admin. account, logging out of your main account, logging into the non-admin. account, logging back out of that and back into your original admin. account, and then the widgets come back to life. that is a kludgy workaround at best — you shouldn't have to go through those type of machinations just to get your widgets working (so to speak).
also, it should be clear that there are two separate issues here — the widget freeze situation and the widgets just disappearing altogether when dashboard is called up. the widget freeze is the most common one seen under leopard (and nowhere else now). that has nothing to do with the widgets disappearing, which seems to be a general mac os x error, not just leopard.
and to throw more gas on the fire, here's something else — widgets, especially games that use a grid model, do not show up formatted correctly. their grid ends up looking weird. i reference examples to this in my post i list above.
is there a place to bug report this with apple? please advise.

Why some audio of the keynote widget don't work when I preview on the iPad??!!

Now I am making a book about helping people learning Chinese Pinyin (the Chinese phonics).
And I made some interactive exercise with keynote widget, that is you first see a vowel, and there are four colored boxes which have four different sounds, you can just click each box to hear what sound it is, and click the check mark to select your answer. one exercise includes about 7 this kind of questions.
The problem is it works perfectly on keynote, but some sounds just lost every time when I preview on iPad!!
The OS x is 10.8.4, the ibooks author is 2.0, the keynote is 5.3, and I am using the latest iMac and iPad 3.
And the audio file is .m4a. It seems everything is just fine, I feel very frustrated!! Is there something I missed,?
PS, I downloaded a free ibook, which called Korean Phonics, they used the same way to make this exercise, it works very well!! There must be a solution!!
Please let me know if you know how to solve this problem!!!
Thanks a lot!!!

I can not try it on a Mac right now but I will do it tomorrow.
I put an other keyboard (usb-logitech) and it works perfect.
What I also tried to say is that I didn't do anything wrong on my brand new keyboard ( This iMac is a Month old ).
I also wanted to know if there was known problems linked to wireless keyboards...
Thanks a lot.

Ics attachments don't work

I receive invites in the form of an .ics attachment, double click them to open in Calendar, and Calendar opens, but the new event does not appear. Sometimes this works perfectly, but more often, not at all.

I just did a quick Google search and empower IS compatible with 4.5.

Just installed OSX update and now widgets don't work

I click on my dashboard and my widget icons all show up as black squares with a @, a music note, a cloud, and a clock. I click on them and nothing happens. How can I fix that?

I found just one of my Widgets malfunctioning (BBCWeather Widget) and contacted the author (correct term?) yesterday. He replied this morning with a link to an updated version!
That is one option for non-Apple widgets, but if you have many widgets misfiring, it's a tall order. And if it's the widgets that come with Tiger, then maybe try downloading and installing the appropriate 10.4.7 Combo Update from this page.
Repair permissions before and after the update.

Many widgets don't work with Snow Leopard

Loading SL was no problem however numerous widgets no longer function.(Maintidget, translator, backup status, movies, etc.) Why?? Developers problem?

HI,
Please update your profile for us. Click My Settings on the right side of this page. Thanks!
Maintidget for one was originally written for 10.4. Check the developer site. According to the information there, it's compatible with 10.5. *As with any 3rd party software, check their*

My iPod Nano buttons don't work...

My iPod Nano buttons don't work even tho my Hold button in off when I switch my Hold button from ON to OFF my iPod shuts off then restarts by itself. My iPod is fully charged. I have updated my iPod to the latest update. I've tried to restart my iPod many times but since the buttons don't work it doesn't happen.

If you've reset and restored and the buttons still don't work, then it needs service. Either take it along to an Apple store, or send it in.

Forzen Ipod, resets don't work

So I clicked a song last night and my ipod forze. I did the reset and it went to that little gray apple and froze there. It has been there since. Resets don't work. Connecting it to the computer won't work, I can't do anything. Now when I reset it, it comes up with a sad ipod, an exclamation point and the address www.apple.com/support/ipod, and I can't figure out where to begin to find info there. What is going on and what can I do to fix it?

See if you can put it into Disk Mode.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
If that works, connect it to the computer. If you can get iTunes to recognize it, you should probably do a Restore (in iTunes) to erase the iPod and initialize the iPod's software. Then, resync the iPod to your iTunes library.

I photo don't work with Time Machine

I just have 2 weeks using this macbook, and i made a Time Machine just before sell my other macbook. Both have Lions because both are same 2.4 Ghz
Intel core i5 (the only difference is HD Disk). So i made all the time Time Machine, so i bring on all my information from my Time Machine disk... and everithing works fine BUT not my pictures.
I lose all the pictures that i put in that Iphoto from day 1 that i use the other computer (6 months ago).
Its like Iphoto doesn't work with Time Machine.
To me is very important to someone from apple to explains me since, if that don't work as it suppose to be, then i have to look for a better bacjup program than this garbage.

1 - TimeMachine does work with iPhoto - except if iPhoto is running then the iPhoto database is not backup up until a backup cycle runs while iPhoto is not running
2 - Never "assume" that a backup is good - you must test it
3 - teh simple solution is to Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
4 - no one from Apple will explain anything to you here since this is strictlhy a user to user forum
5 - as to which backup program you use - totally your choice - no one here cares at all - we are willing to help you with iPhoto issues but could care less about if you use Apple software or not - since you obvviously have not bothered to learn how to use Time Machine you will have the same or similer problems with any software that you use incorrectly

Since upgrade my ringtones don't work

ringtones don't work on my iPhone since upgrade. It shows them on my contacts, but I get normal ring when I get a call.

hello, make sure your ringtones are still in your itunes library under the "ringtones" area.
Then if they are in your library, try dragging them again to your phone... especially if you are missing you music too!
That should fix it!
For some reason, some of the music/ringtones ddn't make it on the upgrade of iOS 5.
Good luck!

Have your tried the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Retore to factory defaults/new iPod.

My iMessages don't work since updating. It says the Messages database is being upgraded, please wait while it finishes or Quit Messages and relaunch it later. How do I get them working again?

My iMessages don't work since updating. It says the Messages database is being upgraded, please wait while it finishes or Quit Messages and relaunch it later. How do I get them working again?

Back up all data.
Quit Messages if it’s running. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it and test after each of the following steps. If the problem isn't resolved, quit again and go on to the next step.
Step 1
Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
          Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked
          Keep login keychain unlocked
is not checked, check it.
Select
          Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain.
From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select My Certificates. Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them is marked with a red "X" as expired or invalid, delete it. Also delete all items with "iMessage" or "com.apple.idms" in the name, whether valid or not.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ Certificates
There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to CRL.
Log out and log back in.
Step 2
Hold down the option key and select
          Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (some may not exist):
          Containers/com.apple.corerecents.recentsd
          Caches/com.apple.Messages
          Caches/com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent
          Containers/com.apple.iChat
          Containers/com.apple.soagent
          IdentityServices
Leave the Library folder open. Log out and log back in.
Step 3
Go back to the Finder and move the following item from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
          Messages
Note: you are not moving the Messages application. You’re moving a folder named “Messages.”
If Messages now works, delete the Messages folder on the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Messages again. Put back the folder you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place.
Step 4
In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with any of the following strings:
          com.apple.iChat
          com.apple.ids
          com.apple.imdsmsrecordstore
          com.apple.imessage
          com.apple.imservice
Move them all to the Desktop. There may also be a file with the name "com.apple.imagent.plist". Move that to the Trash.
Also in the Preferences folder, there's a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.
Log out and log back in. Test again. This time Messages should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. You may be able to put back some of the files you moved to the Desktop in this step. Relaunch and test after each one. Eventually you should find one or more that causes Messages to malfunction. Delete those files and recreate whatever settings they contained.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit Messages again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were. You don’t need to replace the items you moved to the Trash. Stop here and post your results.
If you later decide that you don’t like the results of Steps 3 and 4, you can undo them completely by quitting Messages and restoring the items you deleted in those steps from your backup.

Since upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite Mail, Spotlight,Mission Control and App-Store don´t work correctly. Is it possible to return to Mavericks?

Since upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite Mail, Spotlight, Mission Control and App-Store don´t work correctly. Is it possible to return to Mavericks?

If you have an external drive with an OS X Time Machine backup, then do restore of your last backup. If you have an external drive with a bootable clone of your previous system, you can boot to that clone and re-clone the OS X on your external drive back to your Mac's internal drive.
If you do not have either of these available, then the reverting/restoring process becomes much more complicated and involves purchasing an external drive and backing up your current system to that drive, then erasing, reformatting your hard drive and now your only options to installng an OS X version is doing a clean install of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, then upgrading, again, to either OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion. OS X 10.9 Mavericks is no longer available for download and Apple has not made OS X 10.9 Mavericks available in any other form to be able to redownload and install.
Maybe it would be better to explain in detail your issues with Yosemite to see if any of us here can help you with your difficulties.
I am not running or using Yosemite, so I cannot help you with your Yosemite issues,
There are others here who can help you with Yosemite.
Good Luck.
