A widget disappeared

thinking that dragging a widget to the edge of the screen would put it into a different dashboard screen, i dragged it all the way to the right. suddenly the widget disappeared! i am not sure if there are multiple dashboard screens possible. i mean like in iphone where the icons can be placed on multiple screens, is there something similar in dashboard?

you wont believe what happened! i think i found a hidden secret of mac. i am not sure if this has been already found...
i clicked on the widged such that i could drag it
i pressed control and right arrow
the widget is now floating on a desktop! surprise!
i tried it with other widgets too and it works! i got a widget on the desktop, flaoting and functional, just like in windows vista.
i have put this cool thing on my website.

Widget disappears from section page in portrait mode.

Thank you for your help.
I have a section page (iii) at the begginning of a book with a gallery of 12 photos. I have titled it and written a caption for each photo. Yet, when I switch to portrait mode the widget disappears. There is no image on the side. I have a title on the page in a text field, but I have no text in the main body text field (I'm using the the "Foreward" section template).
What's happening? I've downloaded two books about iBooks Author today but have yet to find a clue as to what I am doing wrong.
Thanks again.

Just an extra tip: Make sure when you insert a widget in LANDSCAPE mode that you find the little Blue Bullseye circle and place it's cursor where you want to anchor it in the text, that way, it will be in the correct place when you go to PORTRAIT.

I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

Thanx for the prompt response, KT. I have indeed seen that thread, only just after I posted the question.
I have spent hours on the phone with what I now know is a call center in Texas on this question.
I think Apple could be a little more "hands on" with iBooks Author users, and it should also be pointed out that landscape photos will not display in portrait mode.
In my case, I used gallery widgets to display vertical photos, since they look better in portrait mode.
But instead of simply rotating, the page disappears and a TOC of interactive media appears. The gallery behaves as expected when tapped. This is not what I expected, but since the gallery works, I can live with it.
Right now I have "tickets" telling me to "fix" this "problem or to disable portrait mode.
I don't want to disable portrait mode.
Will Apple accept the books if I tell them this is not an "error?"

Dasboard widget - disappears on form.submit()

Hi all,
I have a problem with a dashboard widget I'm developing.
My html looks (in extremely simplified form ) like this:
(body)
(div id="front")
(/div)
(div id="back")
(/div)
(div id="myform" style="visibility:hidden;")
(form action="http://myhost.com/myscript.php" name="f" onsubmit="return validate_form()" method="get")
(input type="text" id="telno" value="" size="7" maxlength="7" /)
(/form)
(/div)
(/body)
In my main.js, I then populate the input field (verified that it works) and do:
document.getElementById("myform").children.namedItem("f").submit();
Which works.
The problem is that once submit() has been run, the widget disappears.
By pressing the Alt key and hovering the mouse where the widget was, it's apparent that the widget is still there, just invisible.
I'd appreciate any hints as to why this happens, and even more how to solve it
Regards,
Þór
Edit: sorry about the parens... code doesn't show otherwise...

I have exactly the same problem! Is there a solution to this?
I need to use a form in my widget so I can send out an email using a PHP file on a webserver.

The resize widget || disappeared. How do I get it back

The resize widget that I used so often has disappeared on one of my computers. All my computers run OS X lion 10.7.4. All but one have the widget.
It is handy, because often when a column is too narrow in column view to show an entire file or folder name, because it is too long, I doubble click on the widget that looks like two vertical lines, and the column gets wider to the correct width.
Here are two images that illustrate the issue. Image 1 shows the widget at the bottom of the colums, inside the red circle. In image 2 the widget is not visible. How do I get it back?

'Blank' and 'Tooltip' Composition Widget disappearing

I have created a slideshow of sorts using the 'blank' composition widget (also tried 'tooltip comp'). I chose to use this so that I can add interactivity eventually and link text. Everything is working fine, until I start scrolling down the page. Once the composition is about half-way underneath my top menu, it completely disappears and no slides are visible. I've checked my scrolling/opacity settings and cannot for the life of me figure out what is triggering this. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! The composition I'm referring to is the first one that appears on the page, just as the top menu drops down and contains a slide that says 'connect'.

Place the trigger where it should be and rearrange the sequence of the triggers by changing their stacking order: Rightclick the trigger and choose "Arrange/…". The most backward trigger is the first one to open.

Weather Widget Disappears

After installing Leopard, I am having two regular issues with Widgets. 1) My weather widgets (I generally keep two of these on my dashboard) disappear. If I have one or more open in my dashboard, it (they) slowly seems to "creep" up the screen until it's gone. Then I re-load new ones. It seems as if they're simply up off the screen somewhere, in which case I might have 20 weather widgets currently running.
2) my Webclips almost never load on their own. I have to click on them and hit Cmd+R to get them to re-load.

I'm also having the same problem. One thing I've done to clean up weather widgets that have managed to escape to the top of the screen before I catch them and move them back down is use the "Manage Widgets" widget to disable the Weather widget and then re-enable it. This kills all the weather widgets so I don't have any hanging. Unfortunately it means I need to replace and reset all the widgets. I'm running the widgets on a secondary monitor, so I wonder if that is related.
Some other stuff I notice, some times the widgets will move every time I open dashboard, sometimes only the first time after log in. Normally only 1 or 2 of the widgets though will move on me. I have 3 regularly set u.

Dashboard Widgets Disappearing

Here's my setup:
- I use the macbook pro standalone away from the office.
- At the office, I put the macbook in target disk mode, connect it to my G5, and use my home folder on the macbook as my home folder when I"m logged in to the G5.
Works great, except for one problem: Whenever I switch from one machine to the other, all my Dashboard widgets except for the calendar disappear.
Any suggestions on a fix or a workaround? Thanks!

The widgets you install yourself go into your home folder. If you copy your widgets from ~/Home/Library/Widgets to /Library/Widgets on your Hardrive all of your accounts will have those widgets and that should fix your problem

Dashboard Widgets Disappear Randomly

Hi,
I've noticed that some of my dashboard disappear from time to time. When I try to add them again by re-downloading them, I get the message "do you want to replace existing", and by answering "no", the disappeared widget reappears with all it's settings intact.
I've read on the macrumours forum that someone else was also having this problem, but there has not been any resolution to the issue yet.
Any ideas anyone?

I've got the same problem with my widgets but I don't have parental controls on any account. I've read and tried the suggestions above but they didn't help. Another thread mentioned turning "Fast user switching" off which i tried, but still no difference.
Any other ideas?

IOS App List Widget disappeared

The iOS App List Widget we created 2 days ago has disappeared from 2 of our landing pages.
How do we fix it?
The embedded code is still present, but the widget does not show...
The widget was created at this URL: http://widgets.itunes.apple.com/builder/?uo=8&at=11l6XQ
The code is as follows:

Also, how do we modify the widget without having to recreate it using the code?
Appreciate your feedback. Thanks!

Laptops and desktops cost between 8 and $30 per year in electrical usage; iPads cost less than $3 per year.
Even if you do not reduce the number of laptops and desktops right away, they will last longer and not require as much support because they will be used less due to the iPad being used instead.
iPads are a form of computer.

Dashboard Widgets Disappear

this morning when i went to open dashboard it opened fine, but all the widgets weren't showing any info, and then they all disappeared. When I go into select the widgets they appear for about 2 seconds and then disappear again, even the "manage widgets" window does the same thing. Also, now safari wont open... gives the opening triangle and one bounce, then just goes back to stationary and nothing opens. Any ideas?
iBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

This sounds like a system wide format or file corruption issue.
See if the issue occurs in another user (you can look up creating a test user on knowledge base).
If it happens there, archive & install.
If not, there may be files in your preferences with problems.

Facebook addthis widget disappeared from firefox 5.0.1

I have FireFox 5.0.1 and use AddThis for my social media widget counters. My site is: www.intesiresources.com.
I just noticed that my FaceBook widget near the top of the left menu, which normally appears to the left of Twitter, has disappeared.
Can anyone help?
Steve Giles

Yes, upgrading is the first thing you should try. Using an older version is unwise, as it not only leaves you and your personal data open to attack, it's slower and less stable than the later versions.
After you update, you can try to Reset Firefox. [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]], but you can't do that on the old versions.

Widget disappears in portrait view

Why don't some of my widgets show in portrait view? according to IBA help, "widgets always appear in both orientations, no matter what kind of object they are." One is a movie on a foreword page, one is a photo on a chapter cover page, and the other is a quiz. All other photo's and movies in the book are fine.

To view your Widgets in Portrait mode, open the Inspector, click the Layout Inspector button and select Show Thumbnail Track option at the bottom of the panel. This shows the sidebar area to the left side of the text frame and the Widgets will appear. You can drag them up and down to reposition them as needed.
