Dashboard is not working, HELP ME!

Hi,
I am running OS X 10.5.2 and dashboard isn't working, It opens and the X appears, I can click on the X and the widget dock pops up but when a click on one dashboard closes. The only widget that opens is the one called "Widgets". Can anyone help me I've tried Yahoo! Answers but nothing there.

Could be a messed dashboard preferences file. In your home folder, under Library/Preferences/ you have a file called com.apple.dashboard.plist. This is the the dashboard preference file. You can move that file out of that folder, then launch dashboard again. This will recreate the preferences file with defaults.
Note, however, that this will in effect remove whatever preferences you had previously configured. That is why I suggest moving that file out of that folder rather than deleting that file. If this doesn't work, you can simply restore that file to its proper location.

    Hi,
    the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support  (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

    Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help

    It all depends on the codec the file uses, Karli.
    What model of camcorder is this video coming from?
    Are you working on a Mac or a PC? Have you got the latest version of Quicktime, per the program requirements? When you started your project, did you select the settings for a DSLR at 720p? This is a vital step since it will activate the components your computer will need to work with many of these types of files.
    BY THE WAY, KARLI--
    PLEASE do not post the same question more than once on this forum! You've already got a thread going with this same question and several responses posted. It's very confusing when you post the same question a second time and start a whole new discussion.

    If you only restored from backup, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.  If you then still have the problem it is likely a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Dashboard widgets not working. I trash the dashboard .plist and redo all widgets then after a restart. Widget not working again.

    Dashboard widgets not working. I trash the dashboard .plist and redo all widgets then after a restart. Widget not working again.

    Yes hello,
    My widgets are not working as well, i looked on forms and it seams that the 10.5 update fix there problems. I also did an archive and install from 10.4... One of the major reasons i purchased the upgrade was to use widgets to clip parts of safari, i'am totaly bummed because all forums i find end with the question un answered. i'am a little bummed becuase there are a couple of things that worked with 10.4 that are not working in 10.5 (like some meg moives not playing.
    i do not wish to create a new account because i do not want to reinstall all my software, photoshop, final cut, dvd studio pro.. etc.
    i hope to find the fix some how.
    I have opened up the console application and when i select widgets load or delete them i see no activity in the console. I'am not familiar with the console app. or command lines.
    is there any more info on this matter? is there any support from apple?
    Thankyou
