Dashboard - clock widget - setting the city

Ok, I just bought this mini yesterday. I'm doing pretty good (15 year Windows user gimme a break - still getting used to the mouse in MAC).
The closest city in the clock widget to me is Columbus. I am in Cincinnati. How do I change the city in the widget when it isn't an option.
Mac OS X (10.4.4)

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?

World Clock widget in Dashboard - missing hands

Prior to Daylight Saving Time (South Australia) all clock hands [hour, minute etc.] on the world clock widget in the Dashboard were visible.
However, the day after the introduction of Daylight Saving Time the clock hands had gone. I've heard of people who believe that curtains fade due to DST, but clock hands? :-)))
I downloaded another world clock ('Stationsklok') but that was also minus the clock hands. The same was done with a digital clock widget ('Flip Clock') and the numerals were missing.
I removed the original world clock and replaced it with another - no luck. Trashing the world clock plist files has not brought any luck either.
Can anyone suggest anything else that I can try?

World Clock widget bug

I noticed that the cooling fan on my PB G4 was running more or less continuously and that the case was very hot. This is quite unusual. I opened Actifvity Monitor and found that my CPU was at 85% activity while the computer was idle. I traced it to the World Clock widget in the Processes window, and solved the problem by deleting the Clock. The CPU dropped to 12% instantly and the problem has not recurred.

Hello Edub87
Welcome to Apple Discussions
The World Clock widget should display the same time as the iMac.
Go to: *Apple > System Preferences > Date & Time*
1. Select the *Date & Time* tab > check the box for *Set date & time automatically* > make sure that *Apple Americas/U.S. (time.apple.com)* is chosen.
2. Then before closing the Preference panel for *Date & Time* > select the *Time Zone* tab and make sure that *Los Angeles - U.S.A.* is selected.
Now check your World Clock widget?

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.

Clock widget unreadable on C7 after update to Bell...

After I updated my C7 to Belle I noticed that the date on clock widget on the homescreen is completely unreadable because the date is written in dark grey on black. How can I fix this problem?
A photo demonstrating the problem is attached.

I have an N8 and I agree the date is unreadable.
I hope Nokia has been reading all the comments about this issue and the requests of bringing back the Anna style Time, Date and Profile widget as I hate the look of the new digital clock and was quite fond of Anna's.
The only thing I can suggest at the moment is looking for a 3rd party clock. I have seen a couple around (not on Ovi Store) that have just the clock and a larger date but the couple I have tried have failed to install saying component already built in or do not open the clock/alarms or calendar when clicked.
Please Nokia bring back Anna's Time and Profile widget either in FP1/2 or via Ovi Store.

International clock widget on dashboard doesn't show the "i" to change the city. Is there any way to do it?

Hi,
On dashboard my international clock doesn't show the "i" to select the time zone. Any idea to solve it? Thanks.

Try hovering your cursor over the clock. Does the "i" appear then?

Is there way to set thicker font for Clock widget?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

As I understand, not by default.
Check on Google Play store if you can find any clock widgets that may suit your needs.

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

You may try this applescript program.
log " --- Starting on " & ((current date) as string) & " --- "
-- percent
set volume output volume 35 without output muted
Start the AppleScript Editor
/Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor.app
In Snow Leopard it's at: /Applications/Utilities/AppleScript Editor
Copy the script text to the Applescript editor.
Save the text to a file as an application and do not check any of the boxes below.
If you want access to the script from your Script Menu, move the script (the saved script application file) to your
~/Library/Scripts folder. You can also drag it to your Dock or make an alias for it on the Desktop.<br><br>
To debug, run the script within the Applescript Editor. Click on the event log tab at the bottom of the window. Click on the run icon. The results from the log statement will be shown at the bottom of the screen.

How do I set the default Hero image in a Muse slideshow widget when using Free Form Thumbnails?

Hello,
I am trying to find out how to set the default Hero image when using a Muse slideshow widget and in the Layout section I have the "Free Form Thumbnails"
box checked.
In other words, when the page loads I want to define which image displays as the first Hero image.
If I do not select the "Free Form Thumbnails" option, the top left Thumbnail image always displays first. This is fine.
But when I select the Free Form Thumbnails" checkbox I don't know how to define which image shows first as the Hero image.
I have a short video at this link where I illustrate the question:
http://amson.org/misc/default-hero-image-1.mp4
I have added a WMV video file at the link below:
http://amson.org/misc/default-hero-image-1.wmv
Okay… I think I've worked out how to do it!
[1] First have the "Free Form Thumbnails" box UNCHECKED.
[2] Organize the Thumbnails and place the image that you want to be the first Hero image when the page loads in the top left corner of the Thumbnails group.
[3] When you "Preview Site In Browser" the Thumbnail image in the top left corner will always display as the first Hero image.
[4] If you want "Free Form Thumbnails" go ahead now and SELECT that checkbox.
[5] Whichever image was in the top left of the Thumbnail group before you checked "Free Form Thumbnails" will still show up as the first Hero image when the page loads, regardless of where that thumbnail image is located within the Thumbnail images group.
Thanks very much.
Chris.

Hi,
The sequence of operation you are doing to set the home page for public users is correct. You are getting the login screen as the "custom page group" selected as "home page" has not been granted to public.
Also, while logging-out, it is normal behaviour to get the screen where it shows the list of partner applications from where user has been logged-out. When you click on "Return" button, you will get to the "home page" set above.
Hope it clarifies the things.
Regards,
Ved

Could a Dashboard widget be the cause of my Panics?

Hello everyone,
For the past few months, I've gotten a kernel panic on the average of about once a week. I started looking a the kernel logs and I discovered that 18 out of the 19 kernel panics my powerbook experienced this year had something eerily in common: the current thread for all of them was DashboardClient.
Now what's frustrating is that all loaded widgets are labeled as "DashboardClient" in the activity monitor so I don't know how I'm suppose to figure out which one, save for process of elimination.
But could a dashboard widget be the source of my kernel panics?
Also, my drive's directory structure is spotless. No errors, defraged, disk warrior, etc. and I'm current with my updates.
If anyone could help me I'd really appreciate it!
Here's a panic dump from the latest panic:

Yes, a widget can cause kernel panics — particularly an old one that hasn't been updated as needed for compatibility with a more recent OS version.
Starting with the widgets that you know you've added yourself, open each of your installed widgets and put it through its paces doing whatever it does, in an effort to provoke a kernel panic on purpose. While you have it open (if no KP occurs), consult the website of its developer to see whether any updates are available for it, and apply any that are appropriate. (Avoid any update that is designated as compatible ONLY with Snow Leopard or Intel machines, if you run across any such.)
If you get through updating all your widgets without a KP, just keep using your Powerbook and see what happens. It's unfortunate that you may have to wait several weeks to conclude that the problem has or hasn't been solved, but it may take that long if your KPs up to now have only occurred about weekly.

Can BootCamp beta be installed on Tiger by setting the clock back?

Hello
I have a MacBook, it is about one year old. I have been running BootCamp on with with XP Pro/SP2 since the day I got it, and it has always worked fine.
Now, however, for a few reasons, I want to wipe my hard drive clean completely - set the partitions back to being one partition, format everything, install Tiger, install BootCamp, install XP, etc.
I am concerned about BootCamp though, as the beta has expired and I don't intend on getting Leopard anytime soon.
If I try to open the BootCamp assistant, it obviously says that it's expired. I've often heard that you can get around it by setting the system clock back to 2007. I did so, and I got the following common error message:
"The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partion..."
I've read that this usually means that there's something wrong with the way your partitions are set up...but I have only two partitions, the OSX partition and the XP partition as the BootCamp Assistant itself set up a year ago. I've never had any trouble booting into Windows, and I've never had any problem with BootCamp before this. I don't know what could be causing this, but I'm thinking if I'm going to wipe the entire hard drive clean, I might as well just use disk utility to delete the XP partition and go from there.
But I don't want to wipe my hard drive if I can't use BootCamp again afterwards, so my real question is this: If I wipe my hard drive completely, install OSX, and then
1.Set the system clock back to 2007
2.Install BootCamp Beta
3.Run BootCamp Assistant to make the partitions, install XP
4.After XP Installation, set the OSX clock back to its appropriate time
WILL THAT WORK?
I need a definitive answer to this, and it's no, is there any other way I can accomplish what I'm trying to do?

Yes that should work, I have tried a similar thing in the past.
