Dashboard not in dock

When I installed Tiger 10.4, I didn't the the dashboard icon automatically placed in the dock. I can use widgets, but I would like the icon in the dock. How do I do that?
Thanks.

The Dashboard application should be in your /Applications folder; just drag it to the Dock to add the icon. But you really don't need to do that. You can just hit the F12 key to bring up the Dashboard and dismiss it anytime.

Dashboard not showing up on desktop

When I click on the dashboard in the Dock nothing happens. This is on my daughters school laptop so she has no access to preferences and no admin rights so I'm not sure how to fix the problem. Any ideas?
ibookg4 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

see if you can try to do this. open the hard drive then go do to her user icon on the left hand side and then go into the library folder and the see if you can pull the prefernce folder to the desktop. if you can get that far then restart the computer and then test it

MacBook will not launch Dock

MacBook will not launch dock, is very slow and not performing properly?

At this time, no Mac has a BluRay player.

Apple have thrown money in the Blu-Ray camp. And with the success of Blu-Ray in the "format wars", Blu-ray on Mac is inevitable. The real question is when.
That's what they said in 2008!

Since downloading ios 6 my iPhone 4 will not play itunes when docked - plays ok when not on dock. Has anyone else had this problem?

Since downloading ios 6 my iPhone 4 will not play itunes when docked - plays ok when not on dock. Has anyone else had this problem?

At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it??? I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

I have an iphone 3gs the old battery was useless so i replaced it with a new battery but it wont hold a charge now it used to charge to old battery but would just turned off if disconnected to its not the dock connecter any advice

Advice:
1. Learn to use punctuation and sentence structure - your post makes little sense.
2. I'm getting the idea you now want to use your old "useless" battery. Why, if it's useless?

Dashboard not loading widgets + Crashing the Dock

I updated to Leopard yesterday, and today my dashboard stopped working. I can bring it up on my screen, but none of the widgets load - its just their blank skins. I can add more widgets, but they do not load. Also, when I try to close a widget the dashboard+dock just crash. What is going on here?
Please help?

From what you write here, there seem to be other issues involved. I am not sure if the applications were in reality deleted (perhaps moved?) but there will be no gain in disk space until the Trash is emptied.
You are clearly au fait with the OS (not everyone would be looking inside packets or playing around in Terminal), so I am sure that you are able to make more checks than I could suggest. I know that there have been problems with renaming of Home folders, or accounts losing admin privileges and would tend to agree that there comes a time, when a clean start might be more useful than pulling one's hair out and shouting at the kids or kicking the dog.
The way to get the applications back is to use the packages on the install disks; the way to make sure is to start again and since my Archive and Install (or the erase and install on the eMac -- again my fault) everything has been smooth.

Dashboard icon on Dock disappeared

I accidentally deleted my Dashboard icon from the dock and can't figure out how to get it back. I tried finding it in Finder, but I can't find it in Applications (maybe I'm not looking in the right place).
I can still get to the Dashboard with mouse clicks, but would like the icon back as well.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Go to: "Apple / System Preferences / Accounts" are you logged into your Admin. account or other?

Dashboard not running...

I have not used dashboard until now. i tried to open it and it wouldn't open. i dragged the icon from my apps folder to the dock, the arrow was under it, but the application would not "show". i can't see, adjust, use, or anything with dashboard.
HELP?!
matt
ps- while i'm here, does anyone know where to find the widget to translate text from english to spanish and vicea-versa?
thanks for the help!!!

Matt,
You are welcome.
You asked: 1. how is it that what worked?.plist files, contain instructions for recording and executing tasks associated with the the application or function that owns them. They can and do become corrupted. If you look in the Preferences Folder you can usually guess what application or function the .plist serves by analyzing the name. com.apple.Safari.plist for example stores information for Safari. When an application malfunctions, deleting the associated .plist file is often the best first troubleshooting step. Proper identification of the appropriate .plist is not always obvious, but if you have a problem with an application take a look in the Preferences folder and try the removal procedure as a first step in troubleshooting.
You also asked:2. is it cool to place these files back in the preferences folder now you think?!Since Dashboard returned to normal after removing the .plist files, this proved that the files were corrupt and it is not cool to return them to the preferences folder. You should trash them. New default .plist files were automatically created when you removed the originals which caused the problem.

Dashboard not working

I just updated my computer from a Powerbook G4 to a MacBook Pro for college. I, transfer all my info from one computer to the other and when I go to mess with dashboard and I find that it does not work. I click on the icon (or hit F12) and the only thing that happens is my dock goes away. The screen doesn't dim, there are no widgets, no add widget button on the bottom left corner of the screen, nothing. So i go back to activate my dock (it is in auto-hide mode) and instead of coming back up normally, it comes up from the center and then spreads out, like a bird extending its wings or something.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on or how I can fix this?

i'm having the same problems on my G5.
i tried deleting (yourHome)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and dashboard.plist
i tried repairing disk permissions
i tried these terminal commands "defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled boolean NO" and "killall Dock"
i turned off all of the parental controls (which is when this problem seemed to appear) and even went so far as to delete the guest account that i had been tinkering with parental controls and adding a new guest account, to which the dashboard works fine.
still, nada. when i click for dashboard, it's blank and when i tried to add a widget, it returns me to the desktop.
i miss my dashboard.

The console dashboard remains blank as per screenshot below. this happens on two seperate management groups on my machine. however, a third seperate environment renders absolutely fine.
However If I use a jumpoff windows 2012 server with the console installed, everything works fine on all three MGs.
I have tried repairing .Net as recommended in this post
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/systemcenter/en-US/e329b91b-cdf0-453e-ad77-900c30ddfc2b/all-scom-dashboard-views-are-blank
And I have also run the VSAE repair tool without fixing the error.
Has anyone else come across this? What could be the cause? I cannot pinpoint a single point of failure as the dashboards render OK via Server 2012 console, and one Management group renders OK from my win 7 machine.
its infuriating!

Hi,
Make sure that your Windows 7 has Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 hotfix installed.
Please try to remove the console and then reinstall it following the below link:
