Can't install widgets on homescreen

I can't seem to install widgets on my homescreen, Moto XT 1096 (2nd gen). Long press on homescreen, tap widgets, but the downloaded widget has gone into Apps rather than Widgets so I can't get it to work as a widget. There is no Widget tab in the App tray as on my old droid. How to fix?

If it is a Widget, long-press an empty space on a home screen, tap Widgets, find the Widget and long-press it, drag it to your home screen wherever you want it placed, and then let go.
If it is an App, tap Apps, find the app and long-press it, then drag it to wherever you want it on your home screen and let go.
If "the downloaded widget has gone into Apps", then it isn't a Widget, it's an App (not all apps have widgets).

Can't install widget browser - Adobe AIR, "Something went Wrong . . ."

I'm having trouble installing the widget browser as I get an error:
"Something went wrong trying to install this application. Please install the latest version of Adobe AIR from
http://www.adobe.com/go/getair and then try again." I've included a screen shot at bottom of this post.
I've downloaded the adobe air application and installed several times, but still get this same popup error
message when trying to install the Dreamweaver Widget Browser.
Here are some details of my system:
OS: Vista Ultimate 64bit
Browser: Firefox 3.6.3
Dreamweaver CS5
Adobe Flash 10 installed
Adobe Download Manager installed
Adobe Air installed (per Control Panel -> Programs & Features)

Thank you for your replies and help. I followed your instructions and found that I'm running the current version of AIR:
I couldn't find the version via your first instructions. When I browsed and ran properties on folder 1.0, I was presented with Version folders with different dates, but could find nothing about the current version.
I followed your second set of instructions and was able to browse to the AIR folder and just run the application and browse for the file I downloaded. It worked like a charm to visually show me the version, (first screen shot above).
I'm wondering if it's because I try to keep my C:Windows drive as bare as possible by installing all of my applications on another hard drive. This version of AIR is running on my C drive, yet DW & Photoshop CS5 are running on my "E" drive where there is no folder called "Common Files" for AIR versions.
I've run the command line you had suggested as well in order to keep a log file. I'll pass along the results when I try to install again.

Try spotlight searching it:
- on your homescreen drag your finger down the screen
- type in "App Store" in the search bar
If the App Store still does not show make sure you have not got restrictions enabled on it.
- go to settings>general>restrictions
- make sure installing apps is "On"

Can I install OS X Server on my Macbook Pro ?

Q1)
Can I install OS X Server on my Macbook Pro (mid 2010) and use it as a server in my small office network ?
Q2)
If i have OS X Server, can some of the client machines be windows Xp / 7 ? Will it work well ?

A1: Yes.
A2: Yes. (Though this is dependent on exactly what you're planning to do. Windows Server and Active Directory will be a better choice for Windows distributed authentication, for instance.)
A3: are you going to have your MacBook Pro configured at a static IP address, with proper local DNS running on your server or some other LAN-local device (server provide and need local DNS, and referencing your ISP DNS won't work here), and will your server be available most- or full-time for the clients that are going to come to depend on the services from the server? If not, then this approach is probably not the best one. What happens to your environment and to any of your shared data if you're carrying your MacBook Pro server around and it happens to get dropped or lost or stolen?
A4: If you're "just" planning on serving storage to your other systems, then get a NAS device. Something akin to an Time Capsule, or a Synology NAS widget, or similar network-attached storage devices are available, flexible, and cost-effective. NAS devices are also usually rather less to manage than a full-blown server, too.
A5: If you have specific services or requirements in mind, somebody here might be able to provide a more specific answer.
TL;DR: Servers differ from clients in that a client outage generally adversely effects only one user, where a server outage generally adversely effects multiple users.

Can't use widgets in Dashboard interface

So yesterday I installed iStat and i can't put it on the "dashboard surface" the darkened background, When I click the + button after I openend dashboard I can see all my widgets. But when I try to drag and drop iStat it just disappears and dashboard quits. Any solution ???
OS Version is 10.6.7

Odd.
On mine all I need to do to get an installed widget to display is to click it once (I don't need to drag it) in the bottom display after clicking the "+" button to show them.
Try this - with the "+" button clicked and the widgets displayed along the bottom, click the new item "Manage Widgets..." that appears alongside the "+" button. In the new window, scroll to the iStat widget - make sure it has been checkmarked.

I can't install Flash Player on Mac, because of Dashboard Client

I can't install Flash Player on my Macbook Pro OS X Mountain Lion, because of error it keep showing me, that my Dashboard Client is running and i need to close it.

Unfortunately, going through all the widgets, closing them, quitting the dashboard, installing Adobe whatever, then reinstalling all the widgets is a complete PITA.
There is a widget called Dashquit 3.0 which is supposed to turn dashboard off. When I tried it with 10.9.3, It quit dashboard, but dashboard started back up immediately, preventing the Adobe install. I then looked at other answers which recommended turning the dashboard process off using Activity Monitor. Same results - using either Quit or Force Quit, dashboard stopped for a millisecond then restarted.
The thing that finally worked for me after all of this was to restart the computer. I shut down Safari before restarting so that it would not appear immediately on restart. As soon as I was able to after the restart, I opened the Adobe .dmg file and started the install process. It finally installed without any further intervention.
Adobe, it sure would be nice if your installer-writers were to ignore the Dashboard Client since it doesn't use Flash as far as I know, and it would be even more convenient if the installer shut down Safari or Chrome or Firefox or other browsers automatically with permission from the user. It sure would make things a lot easier. Other installers do this routinely, so why can't you?

And I also found that adobe download assistant will get freeze on my windows 7 desktop.
It's all work fine on my MBA

Dear Jeff,
I update to Windows 7 SP1 and run the installation download from adobe download assistant, but still get stuck on installing adobe help and adobe dreamweaver widget browser.
After that, I think maybe my file has some error during the download process, so I re-download from direct link in this article:
http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html
In first installation, with anti-virus and firewall closed, I still get stuck on adobe help : (
So I try to install under windows safe mode (without internet connection and commend window), this work !
Although I got a DW050 error, but I think that is because I interrupt the install process earlier.
I'll try to install all software in the master collection suite tomorrow. (I just install acrobat, PS, AI, indesign, flash, DW and fireworks, in oder to make the process quickly)
And I have another question,
I saw some software have 32 and 64 bit in the installation file in the direct link I provided.
Do I have to install both version or just install my windows version (64 bit only) ?
For now, I only install 64bit, and it works find.
Thanks !

Tried to install widgets, no sign of users/library/widgets folder

Hi there everyone, I hope someone can answer my question.
After about 2 years of having this eMac, I have finally decided to install widgets. So I downloaded a couple and the folders have appeared on my desktop with a file ending in .wdgt. When I open these, inside the folders are images and .css files.
I checked on some sites saying that the widget installs itself in users/library/widgets. However, when I looked in my users/library section, there is no widget folder to be seen.
Do I need to create one? Are they located anywhere else?
Thanks!

Actually, you can run Dashboard widgets on Panther using the shareware utility Amnesty. Not all widgets run (some widgets use Tiger technologies) but many do.

How many computers can I install my Creative Cloud apps on?

You can install the apps available in Creative Cloud on your primary computer and one backup computer, as long as they are not running at the same time. You will have access to both the Mac OS and Windows versions, so if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, for example, you can install your applications on both. See the product license agreements page for more information.
Read more in the Creative Cloud FAQ

Jeff,
Here is a concern I have. I called sales support yesterday and asked the following questions.   I have 3 computers (1) PC tower, (1) iMac and (1) MacBook Pro.   When I first started using Adobe all the way through CS5 Master Collection I always owned the Windows Box Versions. I have been waiting for months for this to come out so I could move my workflow over to MacOS X.    Since the Creative Cloud supports both MAC and Windows installs the question I asked was can I install it on both my 2 Mac Computers. Then if I need to use it on my PC can I simply deactivate and then activate on it for use?
The answer your support person gave was "YES" So the answer in this topic don't even flow with the answers from calling the 800 number!
So now reading this forum topic I am really confused.   I like many others have definate reasons why I may want to flip flop the machine I am using the software on (1) I have $4500 worth of AE plug-ins. $2000 worth of these are platform specific. So they only run on a windows machine. Even, though I intend on my primary workflow to be used on a MAC there may come a time when I need to use one of these plug-ins and then would have to switch my activation to the PC to use it.
Another scenario, Let's face it Apple has not been to keen on upgrading the Mac Pro system's. iMac's are great but have their limitations with graphics cards, drives, and memory. So if you go a complicated AE render to do,iIt makes a lot more sense to run it on a PC at this time for me. So my hope here is I would de-activate one of my MAC's activate my PC then render away.
I like many others completely understand that we are only suppose to operate our software on 1 machine at a time. I am cool with you checking this. Other posters have asked what if I forget to turn one machine off leave with my MacBook Pro and then fire it up. Will I be in trouble? Not sure how you handle this if you don't have a connection. But Spotify the music streaming company license their software to me the user. If I fire up one machine, Then grab my iPhone and try to listen it turns it off on the other machine. Apps in the app store like MotionX Drive do the same thing.
I am an Electrical Automation Engineer by day and a Graphic/Video Designer Enthusiast at night.   In all the programming software that every vendor provides they provide a licensing server software service that sits locally within the location. It manages concurrent licenses, without the need for online connections. Any computer needing to run simply pulls the license from the network connected license server software service. When the program is done it releases the license. The only issues with this is if your license server crashes. It can be a bit of a headache with support to get your license back.   Others simply have an online site (like Apple) Where you simply log in and de-activate devices as needed. (Heck even Hulu, and Netflix offer this.)
I think if Adobe wants the Cloud thing to take off then they need to re-evaluate this. The license needs to follow the user not the device. The user should have a painless simple way to activate and de-activate their license back to their Adobe ID.

How many computers can you install software on

I have elements 10 installed on one computer can I install it on another?

I am pretty sure you can put on two computers. I think after you put the serial number in, Adobe will let you know whether you can put another copy on or not. It keeps track of how many times you've installed it. I hope that makes sense.

How many times can i install?

Well guys this is the problem, i've got parallels and boot camp and i am looking at getting windows xp home sp2 to run on my mac but then i realized you can only install it on one computer. Does installing it in bootcamp and parallels count as two computers or one? If they count as two, does anyone know a way to install on both?
hope this makes sense!
Tom

That is correct, but i am wanting to install separately because there are some features disabled by this.
But thank you for replying!
Also can i add that i am able to use VM ware if that helps in any way.

How many laptops can I install on with only one lightroom 6 license? (not cc version)

I read from somewhere that one creative cloud account can be used on two different devices, but what about the lightroom 6 version?
If I pay $149 for lightroom 6, how many laptops can I install on? I now have one windows laptop and one mac.
Thanks for helping.

I selected yours as the correct answer because of the webpage you provided, but I cannot understand that what "only use it on one computer at a time".
If the software is for offline use, how does it know if I'm running it on another computer?

How many machines can I install on with one Mountain Lion download?

I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but I have both an iMac and a MacBook Pro. Do I have to buy two Mountain Lion downloads - one for each, or can I somehow download twice after paying once?
Judy

Actually, having made the same claim a couple of days ago and being proven completely wrong, I have a certain responsibility to correct you by mentioning that there is no limit to how many machines ML can be installed on, as long as you own or control those machines.
