Broken widgets

Hi, three of my widgets, Flight Tracker, Business and People are broken. They all show the little icon for missing plugins (a blue box with a question-mark in it) on their drop down/text fields.
I've tried to repair permissions and such but no luck.

WebKit is designed to look in three places for plugins:
1) [Hard Drive]/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
2) ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
3) The "Resources" folder in an application's package.
The third method is how Dashboard works: any Web plugins inside the widget package are loaded when the widget is opened. Because you tried dragging the actual HTML file into Safari, and noticed it still didn't work, this shows that the third plugin-loading method is somehow broken on your machine.
On possible solution is to drag an alias of FlightTracker's web plugin ("FlightTrackerComboBoxPlugin.plugin") into your ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder and see if that works.
If it does, then you'll have to do the same workaround for any widget that uses a web plugin.
Either way, something has broken in your copy of WebKit, but besides reinstalling the system, I'm not sure if there's another solution.

  • Broken widget

    I wanted to post this find so others can fix their's if needed.
    My widget manager would NOT go away, it was stuck, I could slide it around, but that was it.
    go to users/you/preferences/
    delete these 2 files:
    com.apple.dashboard.plist
    com.apple.dashboard.client.plist
    then log out
    boot up your widgets and you will be back to factory default, but things will be working normally again.
    I love passing on information.

  • Xperia z3 foto widget show broken image icons instead of image thumbnail/preview

    Initially I used my Z3 without SD card. Everything word fine: album AND the foto widget which allows to browse through taken pictures.After- installing an SD card,- changing the location for newly taken pictures to SD card- AND moving some pictures to other directories -- AND creating a number of .nomedia files on these directories to make these pictures not appear in the album nor in the foto widget, the foto widget shows a broken image icon for ALL pictures taken until this change. All new pictures display fine in the widget and the album app. I delete the album cache and data file (in settings -- all apps -- album).This didn't change anything (so far). How can I force the album app/widget to recreate it's database and preview/thumbnails?? Thanks a lot.M~

    @z3_owner Settings > apps > album > clear data > uninstall updates > restart the phone > wait few minutes > remove the nonmedia files too. Followed your instructions without success so far.a) how long could it take to recreate database and thumbnails? The main picture directory (DCIM on the SD card) contains almost 1000 pictures).b) Where should the .thumbnails directory reside? Should it -- after switiching to the SD -- be in /storage/sdcard1/DCIM or still in  /storage/sdcard0/DCIM as it was before the installation of the SD card?c) How can I either force the media scanner to run and update the foto widget pictures and album database or see/verify that it does run. Thanks again. Michael

Since my partner has an office in NY & LA it was a feature i used daily, and now miss often when planning online meetings.

    You can add  world clock widget to Notification center.

  • Translator Widget broken

    Has anyone else experienced a broken translator widget since the iTunes update? All or part of the GUI componants, both front and back show at the same time, and i cannot type in the text fields, or select more than english from the list on the bottom which stays as "undefined". How do i fix this without a archive and install? Is that the only way? Someone talk to me. The recent update 10.4.8 did not fix the issue as it said in the detailed info as "Translation widget improved performance". Thanks.

    I also have the same problem. I want to translate from German to English, but the to-field says "undefined", and I can't type in anything, either. And it would be really nice to have it back!

  • Widgets are broken / missing

    after my last apple software update, most of the standard widgets that come built into dashboard have gone haywire. in the 'widgets' widget (the one that allows you to turn widgets on and off, sort by date, etc.), the standard apple widgets, such as weather, stocks, address book, calendar, etc., are now labeled with the widgets icon (i.e. the black square w/ four icons).
    i can't install any of them to my dashboard, and the ones that i had on my dashboard have disappeared.
    any ideas on how to fix this?

    To reinstall the original Apple widgets you can use Pacifist. This program allows you to install individual files or folders, without reinstalling the whole OS. It takes some searching on your install disk where the widgets are located, but it works.

  • Tabbed panel widget - broken line

    Why does this happen with the tabbed panel widget (see pink arrow in screenshot)? I've tried moving the elements around and stroking the individual right element tab but nothing works.

    Chris

    Under Layers go to the content Area and move the Textfields to the left and/or remove the pictures , after that you can resize the tabbed panel.
    Hope that helps

  • Unit Converter Widget Broken

    Hi there!
    For some reason, my unit converter widget decided to not work anymore; I am not able to select any of the drop downs but can type text in the textfields (not that it helps).
    Anybody got any idea on how to fix it?
    I have already tried:
    - ⌘ + R
    - Closing & Re-adding the widget
    TM

    Have you tried removing it from your dashboard, then adding it back? Display the dashboard, then click the large plus symbol in the lower left. An X will appear at the top left corner of each widget. Click the X for your Unit Converter. Then, drag another Unit Converter up from the row of widget icons at the bottom.
    If that doesn't fix it, open a Finder window and click your home folder in the left sidebar. Double click Library, then Preferences. Find the file named "widget-com.apple.widget.unitconverter.plist" and drag it to the trash. You'll probably have to switch to the List view rather than Icon view, and make the Name column very wide, to find the file. Once it's in the trash, log out and log back in.

  • Feature Search Widget - Broken in german Photoshop

    Hi
    I use the german version of photoshop sc4 and the problem is,
    that the
    Feature Search Widget don't work inside photoshop. It just
    work fine in the configurator, but at the time I'm exporting it and
    open the panel in Photoshop the search field brings no results.
    Is there a posibility to set the search widgets "looking
    table" for the german menu commands?
    By the way: I love the idea of having a kind of "quick search
    panel" in Photoshop (I wrote this as a feature request some time
    ago!)

    Try this:
    You can copy file "featureSearch.xml" from an English version
    Photoshop.
    Its in folder "Adobe Photoshop CS4\Locales\en_US\Support
    Files\Feature Help\".
    And put it into folder
    "Adobe Photoshop CS4\Locales\de_DE\Support Files\Feature
    Help\"
    of your German version.
    I guess it can work.

  • LG Intuition upgrade today...app issues, failure notifications constantly, Google Play broken, missing widgets...etc  PLEASE FIX!!!

    I upgrade my LG Intuition VS 950 today and now I'm getting constant app failure notifications, Google Play won't open, missing widgets, picture frame won't let me select a folder.  Probably a lot more but haven't played around with it too much.  Too many error messages.  Frustrated!  Please resolve.

    I have two LG Intutions and had the same problem with both devices, not only did the upgrade stop some of the apps from working but it deleted the CAMERA and all the pictures, CONTACTS, and other apps on the phone aren't even on the phone anymore. Google Play is not working and I'm unable to open up Gmail. Backup assistance is not working to retrieve anything and when i logged on to the verizon website to view the backed up data it was empty. This problem needs to be fixed immediately. VERY FRUSTRATED!!!!!!

  • [SOLVED] Oxygen widget style missing/broken after KDE 4.8.0 to 4.8.1

    hi all,
    (I'm was not sure where to place this thread so please forgive me if I should have placed in somewhere else :-))
    Today I upgraded my KDE to 4.8.1 and now I'm missing the Oxygen widget style. I tried reinstalling kdebase and kde-workspace and I even uninstalled all of kde, followed by installing kde-meta (previously I had the "kde" package installed).
    Since there is no "oxygen" package (or at least I couldn't find it) I'm really stuck here. I also couldn't find anything related in the forums, like issues from previous upgrades.
    I made two screenshots. At [1] you see that only unthemed widget styles are available. At [2] you see that also GTK apps like firefox have lost their theming although oxygen-gtk is installed.
    I'd appreciate any help!
    cheers

    Sorry, I shouldn't have posted that firefox screenshot. What I meant was that GTK applications are not themed as well. However, the main issue here is that there seems to be no theming at all, e.g., oxygen is not available for Qt applications (only built-in styles selectable, as shown in the first screenshot).
    the_easterbunny wrote:I had the same problem. It seems that KDE ignores the "old" oxygen.so file. Moving /usr/lib/kde4/plugins/styles/oxygen.so to /usr/lib/kde4/plugins/styles/oxygen2.so solved it for me - however, it is only a workaround for that strange problem.
    I have just tried to symlink the oxygen.so file to oxygen2.so, but unfortunately that hasn't changed anything.
    additional info: I did a fresh install of the system on wednesday with KDE 4.8.0. I didn't have any problems with oxygen or theming back then. I also tried removing ~/.kde4.
    EDIT: note that I'm in a full KDE session and QT_PLUGIN_PATH is set to $HOME/.kde4/lib/kde4/plugins/:/usr/lib/kde4/plugins/
    EDIT2: I just reported it as a bug -- https://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?do … k_id=28838
    EDIT3: It turned out it is indeed a configuration error. To anyone having this issue: delete ~/.config/Trolltech.conf

  • RSS feeds widget broken?

    Is anyone else having problems "waiting for reader.mac.com" with the RSS feed(s) not updating?
    I  have 2 different web pages that aggregate RSS feeds from several sites and this afternoon they all went dark...
    Google shows it's come up before, but not showing any definitive solution.
    I've tried with multiple browsers, multiple devices, in and out of my network.  All get the same thing. 

    apple had pulled the plug on mac.com and me.com.
    I post this last year: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15949176#15949176

  • Why animated gifs disappear in slideshow widget?

    I opened my project with new version of Muse 2014 but animated gifs on the slideshow widget disappear.  They are already visible in previous version of Muse. I made a new slideshow and add some animated gif but there is a blank page when i preview the page. Is there a bug or am i doing something wrong?

    The exclamation mark is an indication that the file path/link between the thumbnail and the full size master has been broken. Do the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.
