Can't add new Widgets to Dashboard on main user account

I recently switched to a new MacBook Air and after the initial intstallation used migration assistent to move my old data to the MacBook Air. All works fine except the Dashboard. With the old useraccount (which is my main account) I can't add new widgets to the dashboard. When I download and install a new widget I can see it in the /user/library/widgets section, I can see it in the widget list in the dashboard but when I click on it or drag it up to the dashboard it closes the dashboard again.
I tried adding a new user and in works fine in that new account.
Here's what I did to try and solve it sofar:
1. Repaired permissions
2. Deleted the two .plist's in user/library/preferences
3. Deleted the Cache in user/library/cache
4. Checked the folder permissions in /user/library/widget and compared that with the newuser/library/widget
5. Downloaded the 10.6.6. combo update and reinstalled
This behaviour is with every new widget I tried to install.
I tried to find similar behaviour using google but so far no luck. Any suggestions?

You have hosed preferences in the main user account. Create a new admin user account, log into it, backup the bad account's folder, delete the bad account, selecting the save data option, recreate the bad account using the same username/password combo, log out and back into the recreated original account. If the problem's solved, open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, open the /Library/Preferences/ folder from the saved data, open the current /Users/restored account/Library/Preferences/ folder, and slowly copy plist files from the saved data folder to the current one that don't exist in it. Log out and back in to ensure there's no conflict and things still work correctly. Resolving conflicts or identifying corrupt plist files is a laborious process. Good luck.
See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4703015 for more details on this process.

How can I add new content in iDVD to a DVD-RW disc which has ample remaining free space? After preparing the new video for burning and clicking on Burn to iDVD, I get a window saying the disc's already recorded and that I can either Erase or Eject.

How can I add new content in iDVD to a DVD-RW disc with a video previously successfully recorded on it? (The disc has ample remaining free space.)
After preparing the new video for burning and clicking in the File menu on Burn to iDVD, I get a window saying the disc's already recorded and that I can either Erase or Eject. My assumption has been that iDVD would automatically find the free space and continue with the new recording from there. I'd be grateful if anyone can shine light on this.

There are, but not with a DVD written as a movie disk. It must be closed when completed, or it doesn't work.
Apple's built in Burn utility also automatically closes any data CD, DVD or Blu-ray disk you burn. Doesn't matter how much space is unused, you can't use it. You'd have to use a more advanced disk creation app, such as Toast Titanium. I then have the option of choosing to write the data as a session:
I can keep doing this until the disk is full. If I've written five sessions to the disk, when I put it in the drive, five CD/DVD icons will appear on the desktop since the OS will treat each session as if they are separate physical disks. At any point you choose Write Disk when writing a group of data, that means you're closing the disk, and again can't add anything after that. So if I had written two sessions, and the third was Write Disk, it's over. I can't put anything else on that disk.

My bookmarks have disappeared and I can't add new bookmarks.

All my bookmarks have disappeared, including the defaults on the toolbar of most visited, etc. I can't add new bookmarks either. I have tried all the Help Topics on lost bookmarks. I tried restoring bookmark backups, but the backup from the date I lost bookmarks says "unable to process backup file." All the later dates will load, but they have no bookmarks saved in them. All of the other Help Topic attempts went fine but did not solve the problem.

What I would say is that if you have any bookmarks at all at present that you make a manual backup of them, and then continue to make manual backups as any recovery efforts proceed.
* see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
There is a possibility that you had corrupt files, and may then have inadvertently overwritten any files that may have contained bookmarks. It is a good idea to make manual backups, for cases where the auto backups do not. work as expected.
If you have already followed the instructions carefully about [[lost bookmarks]] and without resolving the situation, there may not be much you can do about your personal bookmarks. If they are important and you are willing to try there may be a possibility using file recovery software, &/or sqlite editors that something could be salvaged, but not something I can advise on, I am not currently a Mac user.
The default bookmarks should be fairly easy to restore. You can probably also start the bookmarks working again. Trying the simplest options first:
# work from [safe mode]
#* at this stage when you see the first dialogue window with options do not make changes, press the continue button
# use the customise / customize option from the toolbars and '''reset defaults'''
#* Mac may differ from my Windows XP, I can right click bookmarks, or use the tools menu see [[How do I customize the toolbars?]]
# if that has failed to resolve the problem go back to safe mode as in step 1 but this time use reset toolbars and controls.
By now you should have the default bookmarks back and maybe the bookmarks work and will save new bookmarks, try it whilst still in safe mode, before going back to try in ordinary mode. If it works in safe mode but not in ordinary mode you probably have some add-on managing to cause problems
If you still have problems and bookmarks will not save see [[bookmarks not saved]] that probably indicates corrupt places.sqlite &/or localstore.rdf the linked article explains how to find and delete them.

Recent convert to Apple. Previously, I backed up my family pictures from PC to an external hard drive, a WD MyBook 3T. I can view the pics on my Macbook Pro, but I can't add new pictures. I'm sure this is a format issue, any easy way to correct it?

Install NTFS 3G
http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/
If you were going to be reading and writing to a NTFS System Partition, you might have to worry about the instability messing up the operating system. However, you are reading/writing from a non system, backup device so you don't have to worry about screwing up an operating system.
I would still temporarily move my data to another device and reformat the drive for Mac OS X Extended.

Master Data Services - Can not add new User and MDS can not Identify LOCAL Users

Team,
We are using SQL Server 2008 R2 and system working since long and suddenly we observed mentioned two issues. The server MyServer is already restarted but did not help. The MDS installed and configured on SAME Machine (MyServer).
I have two issues here.
1. MDM website can not Identify the local Users (MyServer\MyUser).
The User created on local Machine (MyServer\MyUser). I logged into MDM website using Admin login and click on User and Permission. Then I click on add and Text box appears to type UserName. Here I type "MyServer\MyUser" (MyServer\MyUser is already
exists and working since long). Then click checkName; I received a message "No exact Match was found for MyServer\MyUser". Where as User from OTHER domain identified in MDM but could not identify ONLY the local users like "MyServer\MyUser".
2. Can not add new user in Existing working MDM.
I created windows user on machine (MyServer\MyUser1) and add it in UserGroup having an access to MDM. and then I tried to login to MDM using newly created user (MyServer\MyUser1) ; I see error Access Is Denied. The Permission assigned to UserGroup (not
to individual user). The new User (MyUser1) should automatically get added in MDM once logged in. This is working for existing users in UserGroup; BUT NOT ONLY for new user (MyUser1).

Now I Solved this problem in my case.
I just grant again all permissions according http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff486994.aspx. Now all work fine.
Hope, it will help

Can we add new attachment outside SC(like from custom page on SoCo PO) to existing SC ?

Hi Experts,
Need your expert advice on the below requirement.
We have created a custom view in SoCo PO page. There we have a New custom view called Notes&attachement.which contains same value from Notes & attachment of Shopping Cart.
We are updating existing Notes of SC by FM 'bbp_pd_sc_update' and same is reflected in SC of same item guid & same header guid.
Similarly trying to add a new Attachment to already existing attachment. New attachment is reflected in custom page and the describe link is working perfectly. but if come out of SoCo page , lets say in SC the new added attachment is shown but display_url,phio_size,disp_url etc are not stored properly in DB.
in bbp_pd transaction every thing looks same for new and existing attachment. we are using same FM 'BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE' by passing new internal table of attachment in import statement. Even 'BBP_PROC_DOC_UPADTE' has same result that is new attachment is partially updated.
Suppose, SC has one attachment at the time of creation. then adding a new attachment in custom view of SoCo PO page then every thing works fine in SoCo PO page but out of that SoCo PO or in SC the newly added attachment is not properly updated.
I have added mime_type,phio_size,disp_url,file_name,file_ext,ev_content,phio_content of new attachment in existing attachment internal table and calling above FM for update.
Can we add new attachment outside SC to existing SC ? if yes , then how?
Thanks,
Partha

Your attachments are saved in BBPCONT you can use below steps to check that , I think you can develop a solution inline to the standard architecture.
a) Run FM BBP_PD_XX_GETDETAIL
b) Use GUID from the Export parameter ET_ATTACH-GUID
c) Use table BBPCONT and pass ET_ATTACH-GUID in step (b) to PHIO_ID .
d) Then you will have the document content.
You will get the attachment

How can i add new jcomponent to a frame?

hi.
how can we add new component to a frame? look at this code. Why when i click on button, nothing added to frame? event handled correctly and frame size changes but no button adds to frame.
private void convertButtonMouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
// TODO add your handling code here:
JButton newButton = new JButton("new");
getContentPane().add(newButton , BorderLayout.CENTER);
newButton.setVisible(true);
setSize(500, 500);
}

Don't forget to use the Code Formatting Tags so the posted code retains its original formatting. That is done by selecting the code and then clicking on the "Code" button above the question input area.
Well typically you wouldn't add a button to the Center of a BorderLayout. If you really want to do this you should be using a [Card Layout|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/TOC.html].
In general the code for adding/removing components should be:
panel.add(...)
panel.revalidate();
panel.repaint();

Ever since the last update I don't have my old bookmarks, can't add new ones and can't import my HTML file. How do I fix this?

ever since the last firefox update I don't have my old bookmarks, can't add new ones and can't add my HTML file of my bookmarks

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

How can I add new songs to the top (not the bottom) of my playlist in iTunes?

How can I add new songs to the top of my playlist in iTunes?
I thought thats what it did before but now it automatically adds new songs to the bottom of the list.
Not a huge issue but an annoyance.

Go to your Music library
Then, Click Playlist
Then, Click the sort arrow until it points down.

I have one playlist on iphone4. how can i add new playlist without deleting old one. i do not have old playlist in itunes any more.

I have one playlist on iphone4. how can i add new playlist without deleting old one. i do not have old playlist in itunes any more.When i try to sync iphone with itunes it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs.

"it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs."
Are you connecting to a different iTunes library than you normally connect to? That will erase the songs and playlists since the iPhone can't be connected to multiple libraries even if it is in manual sync mode.
If you no longer have access to the original library that your iPhone calls 'home', then the only way to save the playlist (and the songs on your iPhone) would be to use a 3rd party application to extract your iPhone contents to this new iTunes library you're trying to connect to.

Can't add new MAC address to MAC ACL on Airport Express

Hi,
I just recently got a new iPhone 3GS. When I logged into my Airport Express to add it's MAC address to the ACL I found that the + icon was greyed out. I can modify old MAC addresses in the list and delete addresses, but I can't add new ones. Anyone have any idea why this might be the case. It seems like I can modify all other settings without any problems. I restarted the basestation, no help. I also even reset the password just incase, as you might expect that didn't help either. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Setup:
WDS with 2 other access points
Mac Address Access Control set to "Local"

If you are configuring the router as MGCP, you do not enter the mac address, just the router name.
