Dashboard ISSUE,  blank or white widgets

I've recently upgraded to snow leopard 10.6.1 but dashboard widgets go wrong since then. Some widgets are blank and some are partially white.
Calendar shows only a table without dates. Clock shows arms without the name of the city. It's quite strange and if I click info, everything goes fine. So every time I use dashboard I have to click the Info to ACTIVATE each widget.
I'm not sure if it's caused by syncing via mobileme. I tried removing com.apple.widget..... and widget-com..... plists but it doesn't work. Even reinstalling snow leopard on the same disk(without erasing) doesn't work.
I'd be happy if you could provide some solutions.~

I'm seeing the same in 10.6.2, what helps for me is disabling Quartz Extreme with the Quartz Debug application. For me the Cmd+Tab icons are white and the dashboard widgets are white. Also, I see image corruption on the desktop and in window shadows ("backdrops") from time to time.
I'll go check if I have any 'hacks' /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist from when I was fiddling with QuartzGL. Pretty odd though for it to only show up now.

  • I have 60gb ipod classic.  Music plays, but screen is blank or white.

    I have 60gb ipod classic.  Music plays, but screen is blank or white.  Resetting has not worked.  Lines show when reset, but no Apple logo.  Is display shot?

    Hello Paul,
    I would be concerned too if my display on my iPod classic was not working.  I recommend going through the steps in this tutorial.  If it is a software issue, these steps should resolve the issue:

    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

  • Raw 6.41 update issue blank white window

    Prior to Camera Raw 6.41 update, PSE9 Organize opened and performed as designed.
    Immediately after the update, and clicking Organize, it opens with an empty white square window appearing to mid right and half outside the PSE9 window.
    Organizer will eventually open; however, if one clicks anywhere inside the PSE or blank white square, a dialogue immediately appears noting that PSE is NOT RESPONDING.
    Clicking Edit produces no such blank white widow.
    Once Edit is open and clicking Organizer, the blank white window does not appear.
    I am certain the blank white window is not intended.

    I just spent a long time at the Genius Bar trying to figure this out. What finally worked was updating Safari (because iTunes is part of the web browser). So try that.

  • Export Next Page Zoom and Search Issues - blank/white page freezes report

    I'm using a vendor product that uses Crystal Reports Viewer for .NET v13.0 on a 64-bit windows 2008 server.
    Everthing works fine in the vendor's environment but when I installed it on my servers when I try and Export, click next page, zoom or search I get a plain white overlay over the normal UI and it freezes the report.
    Specifically if I click the export icon for a split second I can see the export dialog show up but it's immediately covered up by a white page that is the same size as the export dialog.  The rest of the report is shaded gray as normal but it freezes that way.  If I click on the gray area then hit ESC it goes back to normal, but I can't export anything.
    Same basic behavior when I click Next or try and search for text.  A small progress window shows but is white only then, I can't hit ESC and have to close the report out.
    With zoom if I click on the zoom drop-down I see the zoom choices for a split-second but it's again covered over by whiteness.
    I've searched through this forum quite a bit and can't find any similar issues.  I can see all other graphics just fine and this same server was working fine with the 2008 version in the past.  Are there any temp directories or special permissions required?
    Thank you!
    Tony.

    Hi Tony,
    If it is an install issue there should be a log folder that may indicate if there was a problem.
    They really need to dig into the problem, if they have questions pass them along or if they have support with us they can create a case to help debug the issue.
    You may want to search hear also, there have been a few post on this question but not sure what the results are.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • White widget text no longer white

    I'm experiencing a weird problem with my widgets. Anywhere that white text should appear, it now appears black with a faint outline where the normally white text is antialiased against the darker background color. This affects all the widgets with white text on a dark background, such as the calendar and weather.
    Does anyone have an idea what the fix is for this kind of problem?

    Adwiz, that's a very common Dashboard problem that has to do with a font conflict, specifically: you probably have a PostScript version of "Helvetica Neue" installed in ~/Library/Fonts. Dashboard uses the Apple-installed version of Helvetica Neue, so if you happen to have another version, it causes the problem you are seeing. The only solution is to disable your version of that font, or to use a font managing program to assign Apple's font to Dashboard, and your custom font for whatever program may have installed it.

  • All SCOM 2012 R2 dashboards are blank on Windows 7 for any user

    All SCOM dashboards are showing up completely blank on several (but not all) Windows 7 machines and a 2008 R2 server (with RDS)...for any type of user. It's not a permissions issue as the same user can RDP to the SCOM Mgt server and view the dashboards just
    fine. It seems to be some underying pre-requisite that isn't there, or isn't working. We've installed the pre-reqs (reportviewer, SQLSsyClrtypes, etc) to no avail. I've also tried doing a "repair" on .Net, and rebooted as described in another thread,
    but that didn't work. I'm guessing it's something baked into our desktop images, but what am I missing

    ...also, we're seeing this event in the application log when the console is opened on an affected machine (but, not necessarily when opening the dashboard)...so, not sure it's 100% relevant.

    Hello FamouzStar, Welcome to the Palm Support Community.
    Spontaneous HotSyncing is usually caused by liquid damage to the phone in the HotSync port area.  Has this occurred to your phone?
    If so, it's probably time to look at repairs or replacement of the phone...

  • Blank Screen (White)

    I am currently attempting to assist a customer who is having trouble downloading an e-book into ADE 2.0. The installation process was successfully, their ADE copy was activated. When they attempt to download the e-book into ADE, the window will open as it should but the screen will appear blank (white) and remain that way. The title of the e-book will be listed at the top of the window as it should if the user has opened the e-book. File, Library, and Help options are missing and the customer cannot even close or exit out of the window without closing the program through Task Manager or another shortcut.
    - They are using Windows 7 (32-Bit)
    - I have given ADE permission to download and connect through their Firewall.
    - Their firewall is using port 80 and NO CACHE is on.
    - They are using Internet Explorer
    - I have cleared their browsing history
    - I have tried to run the program using Run as Administrator
    Any suggestions/solutions?

    Hmmm.
    I'm not sure I can help much.  I can suggest ways to narrow down the issue, but not sure if I can suggest a solution.
    Getting to a DRM book is a multipstep process:
    Download the .acsm file that is a token for the purchace/loan, typically using a browser to the approriate website.
    Open the .acsm file in ADE. 
    Typically, the browser will cause this step to happen automatically when it has finished the download,
    or when you click on the downloaded file.
    You should also be able to do this step by double-clicking the .acsm file in file manger (Window Explorer, Mac Finder etc),
    or by drag-dropping the .acsm file from file manager onto running ADE.
    ADE then downloads a DRM .epub file (or .pdf file) which is the 'real' book.
    You can the read the .epub file in ADE or use ADE to transfer to another device, etc.
    The browser shouldn't make a difference.  It sounds as if it has done its part and downloaded a .acsm file.
    Check if there is an appropriate .acsm file in your downloads directory.
    If so, try drag-dropping it from Explorer (or Finder or whatever) onto a running ADE.
    I guess that will give the same problem, but it will at least narrow things down.
    See if there is a download .epub file, probably in Documents\My Digital Editions.
    If so, see if you can open that by drag-dropping onto ADE.
    You could try an alternative route and use Sony Reader to do the work that would normally be done by ADE.
    Free download from Sony intended to run with Sony eReaders but works quite happily without.  https://ebookstore.sony.com/download/

  • How to get rid of all the blank empty white space at bottom of photoshop palettes?

    on a large screen the palettes can have big tall empty white spaces below the last imput.  Sometimes the corner size adjustment box is off the screen
    and I want to eliminate the empty space..
    Can I eliminate this extra blank space (without changing display resolution)?  Why is it there?

    When I take a screen shot     see attached    It shows the bottom of the, in this case, layers and channel, patettes but it is not actually visible or accessible on  my cinema 30" screen.  I know I can change the resolution so the size adjustment boxes can be reached and resize the white space away in that manner, but I like the resolution as is 2048 x1280 for my bad eyesight and continually resizing seems like wasted effort.  There is no purpose for the extra white space so I want to make it so the palettes only show what is in them.  Probably not possible?
    separate  issue:  can you make it so the tool bar is alway in the front?  Why should it ever be behind anything?

  • My MacBook Pro's screen just started randomly going blank, sometimes white sometimes black, and I won't be able to do anything no matter what key I press unless I restart it via the power button and even then I have a few minutes before it happens again

    MacBook Pro's screen randomly goes blank (white sometimes dark), wont be able to do anything no matter what key i press unless i turn it off and on via the power button. When i do that I normally have just a few minutes before it happens again. Bought this back in december just started happening a few days ago.
