Dashboard widgets are not aligning - what gives?

I have several weather widgets (different cities in the world) that run in Dashboard.
Each time I start up my computer and run the Dashboard, the widgets have moved up/down - basically out of alignment.
This began a few weeks ago and I can't figure it out. I line them up each time into a neat grid, and then after a startup, they are all out of line.
Anyone else have this happen? Any ideas how to fix it?
I have screen shots that I can email if anyone wants to see them.
Leopard 10.5.7 on an iMac 2.8, 4GB RAM.
Thanks

Trashed both the plist files that resided in ~user/Library/Preferences.
Restarted and the widgets are not aligned in the grid that I set them to.
Arrrrggghhhh ... this is really irritating. Not life-threatening, but irritating.

  • Brand new iMAC, Mountain Lion installed, dashboard widgets will not download. Webpage times out. Any suggestions?

    Just purchased a brand new iMAC and sucessfully performed download and install of Mountain Lion (free upgrade). Discovered that dashboard widgets will not download as webpage times_out in both Safari and Firefox. Already set security to allow downloads from 'anywhere' but with no change. Downloads from anywhere else works fine, just widgets won't work, and I've been trying for several days now. Any suggestions? (firewall is off).

  • Weather and Stocks widgets are not appearing in my notification center

    I just updated my iPad 2 to iOS 5 and the weather and stock widgets are not appearing in my notification center. I tried to look for them under the notificatns tab in the settings app to activate them (which I read in an unofficial article) but they're not there. Can anyone please help?

    There are not currently (or at least I haven't found any) any weather apps that will appear in the Notifications Center the way the included app does on the iPhone. It's not a big deal for me but I can understand the people who want it.

  • When I open my RAW files in Photoshop CC they are grainy and the JPEGS are not. What is going on? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with my CACHE levels either.

  • Having difficulty -- via airplay -- w/ streaming sites from ipad2 to g2 apple tv -- get audio but not video -- what gives???

    having difficulty - via airplay --w/ streaming sites from ipad2 to g2 apple tv -- get audio but not video -- what gives???

    What site are you trying to watch?  I just tested 3.  The you tube app streams from the pad to apple tv fine, as long as the source video format is ok.  Checked a site called funny or die.com. Most of the videosmthere stream to apple tv fine.  A few have a different format, and do audio only.  Netflix does not stream at all, but you can get to netflix directly from apple tv.  Whether or not it streams is directly related to the format of the video.  Some do, some dont.

  • HT5287 If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?

    If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?
    Or am I missing the bigger picture?

    As long as you have a Superdrive or an external burner/drive, burning, watching, installing, etc. from CD or DVD will work just fine. And so will sharing.

  • GR and GI for the Subcontracting PO are not aligned

    Hello,
    We face an issue were the posting dates of the
    GR(101 mvt) and GI(543mvt) for the Subcontracting PO are not aligned (GR takes
    the posting date as the next day and GI as the current date).
    We did an initial analysis and found that it is
    the user time zone that leads to the different posting date. The user who does
    the GR has a time zone setting of UTC+8 maintained in her user profile.
    Whenever the user does a GR for the Process Order after 18:00CET, system
    proposes the posting date for GR asthe next day. But GI picks the current date.
    As per subcontracting scenario, the GI(goods issue from subcontracting stock)
    happens whenever we do the GR. We understand that time zone has an effect on GR
    posting date but the question is why GI posting date is not affected? Is it a
    standard SAP behaviour?
    Procedure -
    We create the Process order via COR1 transaction,
    In the master recipe we have maintained the control key for the subcontracting
    operation.
    Purchase Requisition will be created from the
    Process Order. This PR is converted to Subcontracting PO via ME21N. The
    delivery and PGI is done
    via ME2O transaction. We have a custom transaction
    to do the GR similar to MIGO transaction.

    Hi Manikumar,
    Empty the Personal time zone for the specific user & test the same. As by default, system time is maintained in UTC time zone.
    Thanks,
    Nihar

  • My MacBook Pro internal speakers are not working, what happened?

    My MacBook Pro internal speakers are not working, what happened? If I plug in earbuds or external speakers, there is sound. In sound preferences, internal speakers are not a choice. Why doesn't my internal speakers work?

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    1. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    2. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    3. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    4. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
    Best.

  • Resource Durations (Start /finish) are not align with activity durations

    Gurus,
    My Resource Durations (Start /finish) are not align with activity durations and hence the Budgeted % are going crazy. Any idea?

    hi,
    the default start/finish dates for resource assignments are the activity start/finish dates. if for any reason you changed that, you can check and reset both Original Lag and Remaining Lag to 0 for all/ some of your resource assignments by adding the columns in the Resource Assignments window and performing either a fill down or a Global Change operation. let me know if you need help with any of these.
    best of luck.
