Apple Events Widget on Dashboard

I have a G5 we've had for about 18 months. I recently downloaded the Apple Events Widget from the Apple site, but have not been able to make it work. I am not able to make any selections as to which store or type of events I want to highlight. My mouse works for other apps, so I don't believe it's a mouse problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Do your other widgets with a connection work? Like weather, for instance? If they're okay, you can pretty much rule out a computer problem.

Ical events widget

I posted this both in here (since i have a 12") and in the mac os x widget forum
has anyone used the ical events widget? it makes my computer REALLY hot and i'm wondering if it's just my own isolated case. processor goes to 140 degrees with it on. i checked activity monitor and saw that ical was using 60+% of the processor and was also labeled unresponsive even though it was working fine. so i force quitted, deleted the widget, and my cpu temp drops to 117. anyone else have similar results?

THANKS a brody. You made me think hard on this and now I remember what I did with help from http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050422172929402&query=Widgetondesktop.
This is what you have to do to get the functionality I was enquiring about.
[ Quoted from http://www.macosxhints.com ]
"Open the Terminal and type
defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES
and press Return. Then logout and log back in again. Now debugging mode is activated. To get a widget off of the Dashboard and onto your desktop, just do the following:
Activate Dashboard by pressing F12 (or whatever key you've assigned to Dashboard).
Begin dragging the widget.
Press F12 again, before letting up on the mouse button.
Drop the widget wherever you want it.
You can do the same thing in reverse to drag the widget back onto the Dashboard. Also of interest: while a widget is frontmost, you can press Command-R to reload it. (This may be necessary if a widget is buggy and gets messed up somehow.) There's even a nifty Core Image-based twirl effect to accompany the reload.
This isn't really a hidden hack; it's the official way of working on a widget before it's done. However, it's extremely useful -- there are certain widgets that you'd just rather see and use all the time, instead of only in Dashboard mode. Note that the widgets float above all windows, so this trick is most useful if you have some spare desktop space. To disable this mode, repeat the above command, but replace YES with NO, and then logout/login again. Note that you can also restart the Dock to make the changes take effect (the Dock controls the Dashboard)."

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.

Apple Events App/Channel pulled from Apple TV?

My Apple events app is no longer in my ATV's dashboard, has the app been pulled or is there something that I am missing. I really enjoy watching apples keynotes and like to go over them now and then. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks

Hi Sebastian, yes, you're correct, that particulate app/channel was removed from Apple TV. It's customery that Apple, Inc. leaves its Apple Events app on Apple TV for about 3 weeks from its event's last day. In this case, the WWDC 2013 Keynote was from 10-14 June, and yesterday marked its 3rd week.
I hope that helps.

How to get particular Apple original widgets?

Running OS X 10.4.6 but don't seem to have the updated original widgets that appear to have been released with the 10.4.2 update featured at http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/dashboard/
Does anyone know how to retrieve these? Particularly looking for the calendar and calculator.

Never mind, I just found my answer, seems it was updated from the red to black in the 10.4.4 update.

Is it possible for widgets in dashboard to float over other windows?

I'm trying to assess features in Mavericks in comparison to Snow Leopard (the OS I'm most familiar with). I usually read the Missing Manual for the new OSes, but haven't gotten to all areas yet - it's a big book!
Is it possible for widgets in dashboard to float over other windows?
I want to be able to see the calculator widget for example while I'm also working in a Bills template document in Word, or over my back account page while viewing in Safari. Or look at words in Thesaurus while viewing a document I'm writing in Word, or even an email in Mail. In OS 10.6 widgets on the dashboard float above the other windows, but I can see them both at the same time. It looks like Dashboard is all by itself in Mavericks. Is this the case and the only way to view widgets now, is by themselves in their own isolated environment? Any work around?
Thanks.

You can assign a "hot corner" with System preferences > Mission Control > Hot corners to bring up your dashboard anytime you want quickly by moving the mouse to the corner. Works really well.

Need info about security, normal Apple events, & indicators of being hacked

I've been trying to learn more about signs of hackage because of odd behavior by my MBP. From what I've read, the consensus seems to be that the problems people experience and fear are hack-symptoms are more likely due to other reasons.
Here's the long story (for the short story, jump to the last paragraph): I've had Apple's on-board Firewall enabled since day one in Stealth Mode and all Sharing settings have always been Off. I recently test-drove a comprehensive 3rd party Firewall also but the log reported no suspicious attempts (aside from the normal amount of people just trying to connect or to piggyback on my bandwidth every .20th of a second that it's active). As the sole authorized user and sole resident in my home, I didn't config the system with myself as a User separate from the Admin account.
But I am having a recurring series of events that seems hack-like -- can anybody help me find the cause and a devise a fix?
Sometimes when I am online I notice a decline in my bandwidth -- based on the quality of my experience, not on a running monitor) for no apparent reason. When this occurs, I have learned to try two things: First, I Speed Test my ISP (sometimes it runs poorly); second, I disconnect and run Disk Utility. If my ISP isn't to blame, my Disk Utility's Permission Repair always reports the following (but, normally, permission repair has either no results or they are different, not security-related):
Repairing permissions for “XXX”
Determining correct file permissions.
Permissions differ on ./private/var/log/secure.log, should be -rw------- , they are -rw-r-----
Owner and group corrected on ./private/var/log/secure.log
Permissions corrected on ./private/var/log/secure.log
Maybe I'm being paranoid but the combination of my online-experience declining and the security-related perm reports generally seem to occur after the barrage of connection attempts from a single DNS stop for a longish period of time, as if there's been success at entry. Until this pattern emerged, I didn't feel vulnerable so I haven't kept records of these times/DNS/repair logs. Another puzzle-piece is that it happens when I've been running my computer for several days using only sleep mode, not full shut down; running a browser continuously (both on- and off-line) for most of that time; and especially after been online for a long time without disconnect.
I'm 98% certain that my secure.logs in Console once contained readable data but one recent day, just after I'd rashly renamed my connection node ScrewYouHacker, I disconnected/repaired (with report of same security changes) only to discover they had mysteriously (or totally coincidentally) become empty -- and my main secure.log plus several of the 5 secure.log.X.gz files became unavailable to me, reporting I (the admin account) didn't have permission to read them. I cannot remember if this was the case before or not but I believe at least one of the files contained data I could read.
My Activity Monitor reports:
4199 mdimport nobody 0.00 3 4.04 MB 44.98 MB Intel
273 usbmuxd nobody 0.00 2 432.00 KB 26.99 MB Intel
63 WindowServer windowserver 1.70 3 90.08 MB 454.81 MB Intel
There's a lot in the Logs I do recognize but lots and lots I'm not familiar with: For example, "nobody" is not the name of any of my drives/accounts/or any Apple event known to me, so causes me concern. I can post more of the stuff that makes me uncomfortable (such as pages being written from external drives during times I was connected but away from my sleeping cpu or when my connection trying to reestablish when I manually disconnect and with no data-seeking sites/apps running on my end) if any of this seems the result of invasion but I'm hoping a simpler explanation will put my mind at rest.
I Clone my entire System quarterly, and did so before I noticed any of this happening, but it was not specially password-protected so is probably just as compromised (or not) as any other available recently-mounted partition on my external drives. I manually back-up only changed files daily so quite likely don't have any retrievable System logs from this period to check or compare against.
To sum my question up in a few words: Does the cycle of bandwidth decline followed by that security-related permissions change imply invasion by hacker? If so, how can I trace what files/apps/devices have been compromised (read or taken)? If not, what does it imply and is a fix crucial (as in, typical Apple self-repair or sign of failing HD drive)? BTW, I'm running a secure wireless Novotel connection card on my MBP with 2gigs RAM.
Thank you all!

Thanks for the quick reply, rccharles.
I don't have a wireless network or a router. I connect via a Novotel Wireless modem/card -- wireless because it enables me to connect to the Sprint/Nextel 3G/4G network on their towers but it is a stand-alone USB device on my end. Multiple conversations with their tech staff assured me that it is not penetrable, in that my "bubble-of-connectivity" cannot be piggybacked upon by others nearby, although no password is used, because there is no network in the traditional sense. When I connect online, it's like making a cell-phone call (which isn't to say it's not hackable just that it's a different set-up). This seems to be supported by the fact that the incoming connection attempts I see on Console trace back to DNS locations all over the world not in my own dense neighborhood. I have no network name and my identity does not show up on the AirPort list with all of my neighbors. The SprintSmartView connection software is completely dumb (at least on the standard interface) because it clears all records upon disconnect (it doesn't even keep a running tally of overall connection time, or in/out loads, only displaying that data while connected during a single-session).
I can't switch to a cable connection because, as noted above, I already employ a hard, direct connection to my modem. For me, "wireless" refers to the provider method not my personal network. I haven't used a network for any service (music, printing, web) during this past year.
I realize you didn't suggest this, Robert, but I just wanted to mention that I have no other connection options -- I've never had cable tv and no longer have a landline so switching from my current method to something else isn't feasible. LittleSnitch probably is a good investment; still, I wish there was a Freeware equivalent.
RE usbmuxd: USB Multiplex Daemon. This bit of software is in charge of talking to your iPhone or iPod Touch over USB and coordinating access to its services by other applications: I do have an iPod but it's not a Touch model; don't have an iPhone -- my Palm mobile is my only non-Apple device, but it has touchscreen technology so that might correlate.
A web search of my Disk Utility Permissions Repair report phrasing didn't uncover enough information for me to determine if the frequent ./private/var/log/secure.log fixes indicate either an invasion or some impending System doom I could at this point prevent.
Here's another set of data that I don't know how to interpret -- but, because I was not using my sleeping but web-connected computer at the time (lid open; display and HD in sleep mode via Energy Saver settings; display calm, not showing any waking/sleeping/waking), the writing of pages/images seems strange (again, I have no automated backup software running):

My MBP has no obvious problems with Sleep or Wake, as seems to be the most common complaints connected to much of this language. This type of cycle reported constantly from the whole 3hour block I was not using the CPU. Since my modem is a USB device, maybe that is keeping things cycling even though the display appears asleep (off, not screen saver mode) and hard disk is definitely asleep (per sound & temperature)? I should add to my previous disclosure that I have a Bluetooth Apple mouse, among other devices, and my BT settings have been on Discoverable, which didn't seem to make me vulnerable but I've since turned that off since all my devices are paired. I assumed for everything that was paired with my MBP, the device name would appear in my Allowable list...
Thanks BDAqua -- just saw your post. That puts my mind at rest. What else, if anything, should I be looking at to confirm integrity? Is Apple's Firewall enough or is a 3rd party package really a necessity?

Gmail Widget in Dashboard Simply Doesn't Work

Hi,
I just purchased a MacBook Pro. Everything is great, but for some reason the Gmail widget in dashboard simply will not work. It installs, but after I put in my email and password the gmail logo blinks and the window remains blank. I have tried downloading it and uninstalling it numerous times. This is a really useful widget as it will allow me to check my email at a glance and it is simply not working. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Ryan

im wondering if its a compatibility issue with 10.5.6? // i cant try it out now but i will later tonight /// try using mail untill then as long as you leave it open then it will put numbers on the dock icon and beep once when e-mail comes in.

An error occurred during Apple event processing. -43

Every time I reboot my MacBook Pro I now get the following message.

Dan, are you using Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 for the Mac?
If so, take a look at this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/782138?decorator=print&displayFullThread=true
Otherwise, what happens if you boot into Safe Boot? If the message doesn't occur, it might be a 3rd party startup item causing the issue, check the Login Items under your user Account under system preferences.
Usually, the only thing that is there is the iTunes Helper, along with various printer alerters...

How do I download a widget for Dashboard?

Trying to download a widget for Dashboard, every time I click on the download button associated with the widget it takes me back to the MAC App Store? Have tried on several widgets, how can I get it to download??

When I startup, the apple event plays! [AWKWARD]

When I startup my MacBook Pro, with no applications running, the Apple Event from October 2014 plays, just the audio. It is really weird. I mean, really weird.
There is no visual, no apps open, nothing going on. It just plays automatically every time i startup.
Please help asap!
Using Yosemite.

It's likely that one of your login items is causing the problem. Select the Login Items tab in the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences. Delete any items that you don't recognize. If you're not sure which ones to delete, double-click each to test it.

"Remote Apple Events" User Authentication failure

I will send some Remote Apple-Events from a local machine to a remote Mac Mini (OS X Server 10.5.4) with "eppc://admin:[email protected]". But i get the error message "User Authentication failure -927".
Mounting the remote Volume is no problem with the same user and password strings "afp://admin:[email protected]" so i think that the user and passwort is correct.
I have reset the Keychains and have no further ideas. Any hints?

Have you checked that the account you're using is allowed to send AppleEvents?
(System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Apple Events)
I set the access for AppleEvents for all Users on the local machine as well on the remote server. Send AppleEvents from server to the local machine seems working.
Are there special settings on OS X Server for user privileges in the "Workgroup Manager", i'm not very skilled with UID and GID?

Apple Event question???

Hello,
I couldn't watch the Apple Event live stream because I don't have Snow Leopard.
Is Snow Leopard also needed to watch it now that it is on the Apple Events page?
Or is it just not online yet?
Will it be on iTunes?
Cheers
Message was edited by: NeddySeagoon

Hi,
I must admit to looking quickly and not really checking that the others were from the same event.
The one from the right which shows Steve jobs and is about the keynote looked current at first glance.
I then presumed that it was a partial of the whole thing and had been put up.
On checking I see it is the June one.
Obviously it will be there and as I said I can watch the others with what I have here.
I am sorry for any confusion.
This Google Search has one says that some has put something up on YouTube
