Dashboard Clock on Desktop

I have a strange problem. An annoyance really. The clock widget that once was on my dashboard has migrated to my desktop. It is always on top, often in the way and I can't get rid of it. I can click the little 'i' and change the city and it will adjust to that time, but I am perfectly happy to hit F12 first and use it there. Can anyone suggest how I can banish this thing back to where it belongs?

Click on the widget, hold down the option key on your keyboard and move your mouse around the inside of the widget -- you should see an X appear in the top left corner of the widget. Clicking on the X will remove the widget from your desktop.

  • Can I move the clock on my Dashboard to my Desktop? If yes, how ?

    The analog clock which used to be on the menu bar of my computer has disappeared. There is a nice clock on the Dashboard. Can someone please tell me how to move this clock from Dashboard to my Desktop? Thanks.

    The analog clock which used to be on the menu bar of my computer has disappeared.
    To get it back just go to System Preferences/Date & Time/Clock
    Place a check mark next to 'Show date & time in the menu bar'
    Select in the View section 'analog'
    As for the Dashboard clock, if the instructions or its website does not mention you can also add clock to the menu bar, I guess you can't. There are 3rd party menu clocks which can be found on Versiontracker and Macupdate.

  • Calculator and clock on desktop

    I want to add world clock and calculator which is their in dashboard to my desktop how to do?

    I wasn't at the computer with Tiger when I posted before so did not post the exact path. Specifically, you can change common key assignments by going to System Preferences > Keyboard and Mouse and select the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tab. The instruction are on that pane.
    Even after changing the settings, remember--to get F12 to eject the optical drive, sometimes you need to press and hold F12. Varies with keyboard, OS. and computer model. On my G4 tower, a "normal" keystroke is not enough. Takes a good half-second or more to respond, but respond it does!
    How are you liking the Matias keyboard in general? I've heard good things about some of their models.

  • Dashboard clock displays incorrect time for remote cities

    Hi all,
    Small issue here : I added a new clock in dashboard to display the time in Rabat, Morocco.
    Unfortunately the clock is an hour off (shows 10pm when it is actually 11pm there).
    I already asked the google friend, always the same answer : check your time zone in preferences, which I did.
    > My current location & time zone are correctly set (Brussels, Belgium CEST), time is correctly displayed for this location both on the desktop and in dashboard clock.
    > Tried allowing the system to determine my current time zone automatically, no change.
    > Date & time is set automatically via apple euro time server.
    Does anyone know what's wrong here? Something related to daylight saving time maybe? (seems odd but I ran out of ideas.)
    Thanks a bunch,
    Nicolas

    This same problem stared plaguing me as well yesterday (iPhone 5c), maybe a week after upgrading to iOS 8.3. I've tried everything (which isn't much, right?) to no avail. Among the symptoms were time and date wrong (of course) but also intermittent WiFi misbehavior (e.g., disconnects) and very sluggish response on the set Date & Time page (Settings : General : Date & Time)--when setting the "Set Automatically" slider from off to on or vice-versa it would often take many seconds to respond (and I'd swear the sliding circle looks a tiny bit elongated when stuck).
    Anyway, this morning I let the power drain normally and kept it that way for a few hours. I've now plugged it back in to charge and the time has been correct for the past 45 min. and counting, so this may be a remedy. I'll check back in later today with progress.

  • Adding Dashboard widgets to Desktop & Keeping it "Sticky"

    Hi,
    I know there are many posts out there on part of this topic.
    I am aware on how to add widgets from Dashboard to the Desktop.
    However, I haven't figured out how to ensure that the newly added widget does not overlay itself on the application I am using and that it continues to be in the background on the desktop.
    I just want to be able to hit Command + F3 and see my desktop along with the widgets right there.
    Much thanks.
    My specs:
    Device: MacBook Pro 15.4 (Late 2013)
    OS: OS X 10.9.4

  • How do I moves the widgets from the dashboard to the desktop?

    How do I move my widgets from the dashboard to the desktop?

    Yes, you can. All you need to do is do a Spotlight search for Terminal and open the application Terminal. After launching Terminal, type the following:
    defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES
    Then hit return. Nothing will happen. The next step is to type the following command into Terminal:
    killall dock
    Then press return. Your dock will disappear momentarily.
    Once your dock reappears, press F12 (the keyboard command to bring up Dashboard). Then begin dragging the widget that you would like to have on your desktop. Continue dragging it—don't let to—and press F12 again. Voila! It's on your desktop. You can get it off by dragging it and pressing F12, just like you do to get it on.
    Hope that helps! :)

  • How to Correct Dashboard Clock?

    The clock on my Dashboard and the time in the top righthand corner of my screen have been about 17 minutes late ever since I bought my MacBook. The Dashboard clock is set to the correct geographic location. How do I correct this?

    Peter:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Try clicking on the clock on the menu bar and lauch Date and Time Preferences. Make sure Set Date and Time automatically is checked. The dropdown menu should have Apple Americas/U.S. (time.apple.com) selected. Change the time manually, if you need to. If it still wants to regress to being slow I suggest that you make an appointment at the Genius Bar and have them take a look. There is no charge for looking.

  • Dashboard Clock Widget like iPhone Clock

    I've had an iPhone for a couple of years, and this week I'm finally making the switch from PC to Mac. One of the really simple questions I have is where to find a clock widget for the dashboard that functions like the iPhone clock with time zone clocks, timer, and alarms. Everything I've managed to dig up so far is too bloated for simple daily tasks like quickly checking what time zone a client is in before calling. Is there anything out there someone can recommend that is as easy to use and straightforward as the iPhone clock app except for the dashboard?

    Actually if you want to do a bit of tinkering you can change the clock face to ANY city town or village you likr just follow this link

  • Dashboard clock

    I downloaded a big analogue clock onto dashboard, and I can't change the time. Does anyone know how to change the time? Otherwise does anyone know how I can delete it from dashboard?
    thanks

    Ogelthorpe
    I have OS X Version 10.8.2
    The widget is a big analogue clock that i downloaded from an apple download site.

    I can delete it from the dashboard, no problems. As it is useless and I can't change the time.....it seems to have its own time. I would like to delete it from my computer. I don't have an option, that I know of to manage widgets available to dashboard.
    thanks for you help and suggestions.

  • Dashboard clock out by one?

    Right now my computer clock says it is 1:19pm, which it is. In System Prefs I've set the closest city to Wellington (New Zealand) and I'm told we're on NZDT, which we are. However, the World Clock widget in Dashboard says it is 12:19 in Wellington and 5:19pm in San Francisco (where it should be 4:19pm).
    Im not sure how to provide this bug report to Apple, so I;m placing it here in the hope an Apple person will read it or someone can tell me what to do next.

    Daylight savings time, perhaps? A couple of year ago Congress, in its infinite wisdom, changed DST to end a few weeks earlier in the fall than it used to. Or later. Or something...DST has always completely confused me, worse so since I now live in a city and can't remember what would have worked for farm folk.
    Some clocks and timers haven't been adjusted to recognize this. Maybe wait a week or two...I can't even remember exactly when it used to change.

  • RE: Clock on desktop

    On my G4 800mhz PowerBook with Tiger (10.4.11) I'm able to go into System Preferences then Date and Time, choose digital and have an option to have the clock on my desktop and I REALLY like that. It shows up on the desktop as a small square with the month on top in small letters, the day of the month (4, for example) and then the day of the week in small letters on the bottom.
    I can't find that option on myIntel Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz White 24" iMac with Leopard 10.5.1.
    Does anyone know if that is a plugin of some kind or how to enable it?

    Thanks but it isn't what I'm looking for.
    I'm looking for a program that has a window about the size of an icon and text on the desktop that displays the time in the biggest font, then the month and day of the week. All that should be in one "window" which is moveable on the screen and not stuck on the menu bar.
    SimpleFloatingClock seems to be the best so far ...

  • Dashboard - clock widget - setting the city

  • How do I get dashboard widgets on the desktop again?

    I used to have the stock ticker widget on my desktop all the time, but after I upgraded it disappeared. I used to be able to go into dashboard, clock and hold on a widget, then exit dashboard, and the widget would move to my desktop. Where/why has this functionality gone?

    Symantec have released updates for Norton 360 and Norton Internet Security to make them compatible with Firefox 4, for details see http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Firefox-4-compatibility-hotfix-is-now-available/td-p/428894
