Can't write in dashboard stickies

Today, out of nowhere, I've been stripped of the ability to write into Dashboard Stickies. Whenever I try to do so, this appears: http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/8881/stickyq.png
The same applies for copying into it.
What seems to be the problem?
Thanks for your time.

Ok try this.
Since you can write stickies as other users, that means there is something amiss with your home folder, as opposed to the whole system.
In your home/library/preferences folder, see if you can find a file called com.apple.stickeies.plist
Delete it and see if that helps
Past that, in your home/library/ folder should be a file called StickiesDatabase
Delete it and see if that help.
KEEP IN MIND that deleted one or the other of these files may cause you to loose your existing stickies.... so be warned.
If deleting one or the other of these files doesn't solve the problem, then delete them both at the same time. And of course, once deleted, make sure the trash must be emptied for this to have any effect.
Good Luck

  • I can't write to usb stick [solved]

    I've installed arch on my notebook yesterday. It took a few hours, but I got almost everything working correctly.
    My issue is that when I plug in a usb stick, it gets automatically mounted, but I can't write to it.
    I had the same issue with my ntfs data partition, but I solved it by adding an entry to /etc/fstab.
    Unfortunately that won't be  an efficient solution for usb sticks, since their partition type might vary.

    I don't think that the storage group covers this.  All USB storage devices that I have seem to come up as being part of the disk group.  You should really not make your user part of the disk group.
    If you read the post, and saw the info provided by the OP, you would see that he/she is trying to write to an iso, which is read-only.

  • Can I save to memory sticks for read and write access?

    I use M.S. Office for Mac to do my admin. I would be very grateful if anyone can help with my queries.
    I want to save work to media that allows me read and write access. Saving to discs (of any type) does not allow any editing.
    1. If I save to a memory stick will I be able to save and update my work when I want to?
    Also;
    2. Would a memory stick have to be formatted with to be suitable for Mac?
    3.If the memory stick can be used for the purpose, I want to encrypt it; how would I do this please?
    4. Would encrypting place a limit on the capacity of the memory stick that can be used, e.g.  I have a choice, including 8Gb and 16Gb.
    5. I have heard that passwords can be created by Mac; what is the method for doing this please?
    Many thanks for in advance.

    There is terminology here I am unfamiliar with. I feel I have embarked upon a complex path.
    I do not know what HFS+ is.
    HFS+ is the Mac OS X file system.  Hierarchical File System Plus (Plus as it used to be HFS, but then they improved it and said +)
    By default a USB flash drive generally comes formatted with FAT (from the Microsoft MS-DOS days, but is a universal format - it might come with FAT32 or exFAT as well - still from Microsoft).  Mac OS X can read/write these, HOWEVER, its FileVault whole disk encryption is only designed to work with HFS+, which is why I mentioned it.
    Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility can be used to reformat a disk, USB Flash drive, etc...  NOTE:  reformatting does erase everything on a disk, so keep that in mind.
    What is the difference between File Vault and .dmg in disk utilities?
    FileVault is whole disk encryption.  Everything on the disk is encrypted. and you need to enter the password just to mount the device.
    A .dmg file is a regular file that happens to contain a file system inside of it.  When you double click on the .dmg file, Mac OS X will mount the file system inside as if it was a disk.  If the .dmg file is encrypted, then you will be prompted for the password before Mac OS X will mount it.  A .dmg is just a container for a file system.  Inside that contain is a full file system with files and directories just like any other file system.
    You can create read only .dmg files, you can create read/write, you can create sparse (you declare the maximum side, but the initial size of the .dmg is small and will grow to the maximum size as you add things to the .dmg, you can create encrypted .dmg.
    Since a .dmg is just a file with no special attributes on the outside, it can be copied around.  You can copy it over the network, you can store it in the cloud, you can put it on a USB Flash drive, you can put it on an external disk, etc...
    If the device you put it can be mounted by Mac OS X, then you can double-click on the .dmg and it will mount the file system inside the .dmg and you will be able to access the files in the .dmg
    This even includes USB Flash drives that use the FAT format family.  But you existing external disks can be used for that as well.
    If I used an external hard drive for the purpose I have in mind, would the  disk .dmg utility allow me to access folders and files for editing or should I approach the task in a different way?  I would still wish to encrypt.
    As I said above, the .dmg is a full file system where you can store files and folders inside a .dmg container file.  And you can encrypt the .dmg so it is secure.

  • In search for OSX dashboard stickies's options

    Hi
    I'm using stickies inside my dashboard, but I have hard problems finding options for Dashboard Stickies.
    Only options I have found is changing font type, size and sticky color.
    I`m missing options like:
    Duplicate sticky
    Rich text editing (same as a non-dashboard sticky)
    Shortcuts
    Does these options exist?
    Thank you!

    Well I finally gave in and formatted the external drives to HTFS+, so now I can read and write on them from anywhere on my home network. But this does mean I cant unplug them and use then with a windows machine directly. Or I have to buy paragon HTFS+ for windows and have that every time with me on a USB drive been allowed to install it (for example on one of the the computer at my school). It feels to me like this just a marketing scheme to spend more money. I mean how am I as end user suppose to know that after I upgrade my OS I am not able to use external NTFS Hard drives on my network. No one in the store when I was buying a mac told me: "Hey when you buy a external drive do format it to HTFS+ immediately or else you could have problems. I mean apple knows that except maybe for a few brands the most used format for external drives is NTFS. There should have been at least a warring before installing Mountain Lion. The best scenario would have been if it just worked. Ok enough of my complaining, its just that this has been really frustrating. I mean to backup 3tb is about 20 hours and then copy it back to the drive is about 13. Am still copying as I write this.
    But anyway that's one problem solved. Wake on LAN still have no luck with that one. Well I got a work around but its not ideal. For me setting the Display Sleep to 3 hours works, because my iMac 24 and my main PC are nest to each other. But I guess for people that need this for remote servers even that wont work. O btw maybe this helps a few people, Teamviewer seems to be able to wake him up too.

  • How do I transfer content in Dashboard Stickies from one Mac to another?

    I've got a new MacBook Air and because the hard drive on it is smaller than the hard drive on the MacBook Pro I had before, I've opted not to use Migration Assistant. But I have a good bit of content in Dashboard Stickies. Does anyone know how I can transfer this content to my new Mac? Where is this information stored?

    Copy this file from the old Mac to the new one:
    ~/Library/Preferences/widget-com.apple.widget.stickies.plist
    Be sure that Dashboard isn't running when you copy the file onto your new Mac.

  • Cannot Write to USB Stick

    I can copy from USB sticks but cannot write to USB stick.
    I have tried various USB sticks to ensure I wasn't using an old stick or a damaged stick but nothing works.
    I have tried formatting the sticks differently, i.e. FAT32, Mac OS Extended etc but still doesn't work.
    The files I am trying to copy are only 200KB onto an empty, newly formatted 16GB stick.
    I have checked and permissions for the stick is Read/Write.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Does nobody read OP anymore? USB had the Arch installer on it, which involves some non-standard partitioning.
    @radoslav192
    Manually re-partition your thumb drive with fdisk, etc., then format the partition.
    Edit: had to remove the log from my eye.

  • Need a post-MobileMe synced replacement for dashboard stickies, suggestions?

    This question is motivated by the MobileMe to iCloud transition, but could benefit any users of Mac OS X Lion (and could be answered by anyone using a Lion desktop/laptop) so I felt it best to ask in this forum...
    Now that I've moved from MobileMe to iCloud, no longer are my dashboard stickies synced between all the computers I use (nor any other dashboard widgets).  Over the years, I've become quite fond of using dashboard stickies (not to be confused with the standalone Stickies application, nor the "notes" awkwardly stored inside Mail) to remember and keep track of all sorts of things.  The way you can swipe between full screen workspaces in Lion actually makes me even more motivated to continue to use dashboard to keep track of stuff and jot random things down.  I would never want to launch some application or go digging through a mail client or a web site in order to do this.  Dashboard is what I like to use.
    Now that I can't sync my stickies though, this information is constantly at-risk.  In fact, since many dashboard widgets are extremely hard (it's not just a simple .plist swap anymore) to restore from a backup, if anything were to get messed up on my primary Mac all this information would just vanish (yikes).
    It seems like this would be an excellent time for someone out there to implement a replacement widget for the default Apple stickies that offers some sort of networked syncing or other form of backup...does anyone know of a widget that can do this?  If not, I wonder if anyone would be interested in developing one for people like me?  I can't be the only user who would love this (former MobileMe customer or otherwise).
    I would love to hear suggestions from anyone on what I can do about this.  Just bear in mind, I have no interest at all in having "notes" bured inside my mail, even if they are synced to my iPhone.  That's just useless to me.
    THANK YOU for any help!

    I was looking for something like this too and am surprised there is no widget for iCloud notes.

  • How can I temporarily disable dashboard client

    I want to install an updated version of Adobe Flash.  i am being instructed to close Safari (no problem) and Dashboard Client.  How can I temporarily disable Dashboard Client so that I can install the update?  I am currently using MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8.2.

    Use Terminal to disable the Dashboard. Go to Applications>Utilities>Terminal
    Once you have the window open in Terminal copy & paste this command to disable it:
    defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
    Then, restart the Dock using the following command:
    killall Dock
    If you want to enable your Dashboard again simply replaceYES with NO in the top command and repeat the process.

  • Dashboard stickies blank

    I am aware of the other posts relating to this issue, however my stickies database file has only one line in it when opened with text editor. I had so much important info on my dashboard and angry really isnt the word. All 20 stickies are blank but in the correct position and the correct colour (which makes me even more angry as it was able to save this kind of inane info but not the most important thing (the contents).
    Please can someone help, I have absolutely no way of getting back that info otherwise.
    in the worst case scenario i have a pretty old time machine backup but its from my old install so i "dont have the privileges" to access the stickies database.

    then you should be angry with yourself for not keeping a backup. if you value your data AT ALL you should always back up. there are all kinds of software issues that can cause data loss. and apart from that every single hard drive fails eventually. it's a question of if not when. and it can happen at any moment and with no warning.

    most likely there is nothing you can do if you don't have a backup. but dashboard stickies are not kept in the stickies database file. that's for the regular Stickies application. dashboard stickies are kept in a separate preference file. it's home directory/library/preferences/widget-com.apple.widget.stickies.plist. Quicklook this file and see what's inside.
    in the worst case scenario i have a pretty old time machine backup but its from my old install so i "dont have the privileges" to access the stickies database.

  • I can't write to my Drobo

    I have a new iMac (like this):
    I am trying to connect the Drobo that I used to use with my Windows Computer.  It has 4 drives @ 3TB each, and the whole drive is over half full, so I am not terribly interested in the cost that it would take to "back up" that whole disk pack.  It took some shenanigans (reboots of both the drive and the computer; disconnections, and reconnections; fiddling around with MAC Disk Utility) to get it to show up in Finder at all.  I still have issues with it unmounting and needing to remount it, but that's not my main issue.
    THE REAL PROBLEM:
    Though I can get the Drobo to show up in finder, and I can read from it, I can't write to it.  Based on some earlier searching I tried this terminal command, which helped it to show up in finder, but didn't seem to affect it's being read-only:

    Turns out that the Drobo needs to be plugged straight into computer. I had it via hub. Though it has worked for the past couple weeks in this configuration, the new update pushed it over the edge, I guess. Plugged in directly and working fine.

    Hi iTunes-1,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The error message you posted indicates a possible firmware update is needed for iTunes for Windows to work with your CD drive.  
    iTunes for Windows: Updating the firmware on your CD or DVD drive - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201852
    Having outdated firmware can cause issues using CDs and DVDs with iTunes for Windows. Firmware is a type of software stored in a chip in hardware that can sometimes be updated.Identifying drives and firmware versions
    To run CD Diagnostics, follow the steps in this document.
    After following the steps to run CD Diagnostics linked above, look at section three to find out more about your optical drive(s).
    Here is an example of what section three might look like:
    In this example there are two drives. Drive E is a Samsung DVD-ROM drive with a model designation of SD-616 that has firmware version F000. Drive F is an NEC drive with a model designation of NR-7900A that has firmware version 1.08.Updating the firmware
    If the optical drive you are using came with your computer, check with the support site for your computer for a firmware update. Typically you will need to go to the support website for the computer maker and click on a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your computer model designation and operating system version to see what updates are available. Then look through the available updates for a firmware update for your optical drive. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of your computer.
    If the optical drive you are using came as a separate part (was not included with a computer), check the support site for the drive maker for a firmware update. Sometimes the manufacturer is not clear in the CD Diagnostics results. In that case, you may just have to search the Internet for the drive model designation. You can usually find out who made the drive by looking through the results of such a search. Once you have identified who made your drive, go to the support website for that company. Look for a "downloads" or "updates" link, and then enter your optical drive model designation. Download the updater and run it. If you need assistance applying the update, contact the maker of the optical drive.Verifying that the firmware was updated
    Run CD Diagnostics again.
    Examine the CD Diagnostics results. The firmware version for the drive should be the new version.

    Also, you mentioned that you have been successful burning a CD with the Windows OS.  Make sure that you have closed all software programs that can access the CD burner so that there isn't a conflict for the drive.   Sometimes chaning the burn speed from "maximum" to 8x can also help in this situation.
    I hope this information helps ...

  • Can you write an excel file on client machine instead of on the server

    I am trying to user cfSpreadSheet functon. The first question I have is, can you write the file on a client machine? I tried but they all end up on the server drive. Scecond question, is there a way to do row and column range formating in CF9.0? SpreadsheetFormatCellRange function is only available for ColdFusion server version 9.01.
    Thanks.

    To expand on Dan's answer: CF doesn't have any interaction with the client browser at all: client->server comms are handled by the client and the web server; the web server simply asks CF to provide the response data if the file requested is a CF file.  But even then all CF does is process the requested file and return data to the web server.
    Also, one of the restrictions of the HTTP protocol is that that there is *no* *way* that the server can write to the client machine.  All it can do is send data to the client agent (eg: a web browser) in response to the client agent requesting it.  Can you imagine the sort of security problems one would open one's self up to if a remote web server could write to your PC????

  • How can I write to 4 different tables in database at the same time

    I have .mdb file which has 4 tables for each hardware, I have a labview main program which calls 4 sub programs for each hardware, all these 4 subprograms run parallely.
    One might finish one test early or late by milli seconds or seconds, the data has to be written to database file which has 4 tables inside.
    I am planning to open reference in main program and use the reference in sub programs, I will write to Table 1 for first sub program , table 2 for second sub program and so on,
    My question is can we write into one database file having 4 tables parallely/simulataneously? If no why?

    Try it.  It should work.  As long as you are opening the database once, and passing the reference around, I don't see how it would not work. 
    You may run into troubles if two subvi's are trying to write simultaneously.  If so, use semiphores to lock out the action until done. 
    Or you could use a producer consumer architecture where the producer would queue up the table name and data, and the consumer would write to the database.  The producer can be replicated in each subvi.  In other words, each subvi will contain its own enqueue code.  All subvi's and the consumer loop would have to run in parallel.

  • Crystal Report XI: Can you write your query in SQL instead of using the GUI

    Hello
      In crystal report version XI, can you write your query in sqlplus and then use the crystal report designer to build your report instead of using the GUI . I would like to be able to go database and show sql query and open that query and make changes directly there, is that possible on this version, if yes is there a setting somewhere? Please let me know.
    Thank you
    alpha

    Moved to Database forum.
    No you can no longer modify the SQL directly. Use a Command Object to enter the SQL directly.
    Thank you
