Dashboard Widgets Don't Stick...

First they all disappeared then when I click to add them... they do that bubble thing and then disappear!

i have also reported in this forum (as have others), the problem with the widgets freezing —>> see my post here about it. that post also references other posts that have found the same thing.
yes, we know about the workaround of creating a non-admin. account, logging out of your main account, logging into the non-admin. account, logging back out of that and back into your original admin. account, and then the widgets come back to life. that is a kludgy workaround at best — you shouldn't have to go through those type of machinations just to get your widgets working (so to speak).
also, it should be clear that there are two separate issues here — the widget freeze situation and the widgets just disappearing altogether when dashboard is called up. the widget freeze is the most common one seen under leopard (and nowhere else now). that has nothing to do with the widgets disappearing, which seems to be a general mac os x error, not just leopard.
and to throw more gas on the fire, here's something else — widgets, especially games that use a grid model, do not show up formatted correctly. their grid ends up looking weird. i reference examples to this in my post i list above.
is there a place to bug report this with apple? please advise.

  • Dashboard Widgets don't load

    I use dashboard widgets on my wireless router at home but they don't want to load now. I am hooked up to a landline connection and the widgets show up but aren't populating the data. Any ideas?

  • Dashboard Widgets don´t work with Leopard

    After installing Leopard the Widgets worked for a short time.
    I have installed the dashboard tools but did nothing with them.
    I don´t know if the widgets ran after this.
    Now I can press F12, the + sign appears in the left corner.
    I can press the + sign and the dashbord appears at the bottom of the desktop.
    If I click at a Widget the Dashboard disappears and nothing happens.
    No Widget starts.
    If I move a Widget to the desktop it disappears if I release the mouse button. The Dashboard disappears too.

  • Why don't dashboard widgets work in 10.7?

    I've been googling around, looking for an answer to this question--I've downloaded several useful widgets only to discover OSX 10.7.5 Lion won't open them.  I get the error message:  "You can't install *.wdgt because it is not a valid widget."  After some searching, I have managed to find widgets that do work, but they never have the extension .wdgt, and when I look in my library folder, the active widgets I'm able to find have a .plist extension.  Are there any good sites for finding working widgets?  Are there ways to convert older widgets?
    Most of the ones on the Apple Dashboard widget page say they'll work on any version after 10.4 or so, and I'm assuming, as are many, that Apple's just abandoning the Dashboard interface.  The weird thing is that there are still two different ways to access a "Dashboard" or people seem to think that they're both called a "Dashboard"--the first Dashboard that I get with a three-finger sideswipe--and then the other one accessed by F4 that more resembles the iPad OS.
    Basically, I don't care how I access widgets or apps or gadgets or whatever, via a Dashboard or dock, but it's pretty crazy that there's less functionality for a MacBook Pro than for your most basic smartphone.

    .plist folders are not widget files. They're just preference files for those widgets. All widgets have a .wdgt extension and will reside in the Library/Widgets folder either at the root of the hard drive or in your Home directory.
    As to the problem, it's possible that the widgets you're trying to use may just be too old and not have been updated for the later versions of Dashboard. If you'll post the names of the widgets you wish to use, someone may be able to check them and see if it's indeed such a problem.
    Finally, there is only one Dashboard, though there may be more than one command or activity that will open it. A three-finger sideswipe, I believe, changes Spaces and does not activate Dashboard per se, though Dashboard may open in a space.

  • Dashboard widgets unresponsive to trackpad

    Some of the dashboard widgets - calculator and convertors - have stopped responding to trackpad commands. If I click on the calculator I can use keyboard commands to work it, but can no longer click on the numbers on the calculator to enter them.
    Stickies work fine, and all of the widgets that don't require trackpad are working fine, except for the "manage widgets" widget. It is also unresponsive to trackpad so I can neither close it nor check or uncheck the widgets listed in it.
    A longtime Windows user, I tried deleting the widgets (which I can do for all but the "manage widgets" one), shutting down the computer and restarting it, which used to resolve a surprising number of windows snags, but it did nothing for the dashboard.
    I didn't realize how much I relied on that little calculator until it stopped working. Can anyone rescue me from having to do long division in my head?

    I don't know why the trackpad isn't working properly for widgets, but as a possible work-around there is a Calculator app in the /Applications folder. If that one works, you could keep an icon for it in the Dock.

  • How to open and read an external file in Dashboard widget?

    I am new to Dashboard widgets and also Javascript. I have written a widget that needs to open and read a file on the local file system. I have searched a lot and have not found any documentation or reference on the internet as to how to do this.
    I know it can be done since there is a checkbox in the widget attributes that says "Allow External File Access".
    can anyone help me out here?
    Thanks

    You need to define the AllowFileAccessOutsideOfWidget key to Yes.
    You also need to define the AllowFullAccess key.
    You may also need to define the AllowSystem key (to Yes of course).
    Mihalis.
    PS. If you cannot find any other documentation please check http://widgetbook.blogspot.com.

  • 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.

  • Dashboard widget with streaming video breaks after upgrade to Mountain Lion

    Hi.  I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.  Under SL, I had an OS X widget that was a web clipping of a streaming mpeg image being produced by a Linksys/Cisco WVC54GCA web camera.  When I brought up the dashboard, the OS would start streaming the data from the mpeg filename, which looks like "hostname.com/img/video.mjpeg". 
    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I noted that the widget never fully loads, indefinitely displaying a "Loading Clip..." mesasge.  After deleting and re-adding, I can still get as far as adding the web clipping to the dashboard at the right dimensions, but there's no content.
    Unfortunately the camera unit doesn't provide for the display of HTTP access logs, so I can't see if there's an issue there, but my understanding is that if I can display the image in a Safari browser, it should work just fine in Dashboard too.  (I did make sure that, where needed, the username/password for accessing the video are included in the URL.) 
    I did sniff the network traffic between my system and the camera host, and show that video traffic starts flowing between the two as soon as the widget is brought up.  So, it's almost like the widget doesn't know when to stop "loading" and start "displaying," perhaps because the HTTP request is never truly "done."
    Can anyone speculate if something may have changed in Mountain Lion affecting the ability of web clipping widgets to display streaming video?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi James
    I have exactly the same problem with the same "Loading clip" then blank.  I have been trying a lot of stuff to get this working, but haven't had the chance of sniffing the network traffic as you have done.  By reading what you said about the traffic seems to be flowing without the picure being displayed makes me even more puzzled by this.  I never had a streaming video while  I were using Snow Leopard, but I had a still-image, as I also do now in Mountain Lion.  I recently began to research for a way to display the video.cgi MIME image that my camera produces, and I've also concluded that this should be an easy task for the dashboard web clip function; the video does display in safari after all.
    I suspect that our cameras uses the same built in webserver solution written by a "Steven Wu".  Cheap webcameras frequently uses his script with MJPEG (stream of JPEG pictures) to avoid the expensive licenses of using other video codecs.
    I read this a bit down at this site: http://channel9.msdn.com/coding4fun/articles/Everyone-Loves-Babies-Webcams-and-M otion-Detection
    Have you come any closer in your research?
    I have started to think that maybe I have to write a dashboard widget on my own to accomplish this.

  • Support boards for developing dashboard widgets?  any response, please??

    i don't mean to be a noodge, but 4 days ago i posted a simple request asking if i could get support here for some questions i had as regards some snags i ran into making dashboard widgets. while other people's questions about ruby/rails, c and objective c and even powerpoint (shouldn't that be in a microsquish support forum??) have been responded to.
    all i want to know is, can anyone help me here or at least point me to other support boards that offer help for those developing dashboard widgets? is that too much to ask?
    my original message i posted 4 days ago is below. i would appreciate response from anyone, please. i can't believe i'm the only person out here seeking support for my *.html, *.css and javascript files for dashboard widgets.
    hi,
    i'm trying my hand at the most rudimentary of developing for mac os x - developing a dashboard widget, using html, css & javascript.
    i'm trying to make a simple widget that uses the real audio plug-in in the system (if you downloaded real player) to play a local portland, oregon fm classical radio station, kbps-fm 89.9 (www.allclassical.org).
    i'm running into some snags both in making the "i" info button flip the thing around (it was working before, but since i added in the code that makes the real player plug in work, no matter where i place the position of the "i" flipper, it doesn't show up), and in the graphics i'm trying to create for the widget.
    should i seek help here? are there better boards/forums for mac os x dashboard widget creation i can go to, and if so, can anyone direct me there? i know about adc, and am a (free) member, but they don't have discussion boards there and i don't want to pay oodles in tech support just to get some basic javascript and css questions handled.
    if anyone could please direct me to where i can ask these questions or help me out, please let me know. thanx.

    You shouldn't take the lack of response as a personal insult The nature of these forums (fora?) is that people respond to those messages where they can help and don't respond when they can't help. FWIW I've got two unresolved questions dating back to Mar 17th!
    In my opinion, the Developer forums would be absolutely ideal and on-topic places to discuss Widget development..... but it looks like very few experienced Widget developers hang out here, so any questions would most likely go unanswered. My own skill area in limited to Java so I can't help out with widgets. No doubt the other forum regulars are in a similar position.

  • Looking for a Dashboard Widget

    Is there a Dashboard widget that will notify me when I receive responses on message boards, like this one for example so I don't have to check email?
    Also, is there a good widget that can store my passwords for message boards as well?
    thanks!

    there are certainly no widgets like that for general board and there isn't one for this board. Apple discussions notifies only by email so whatever program you'd possibly want to use for notifications would have to tap into your email which means that your email client has to be open.

  • Put Stuck dashboard widgets in backround?

    I just figured out how to make a dashboard widget "stick" on the desktop, but can i make it below everything? So i can have my widgets at a glance, but not blocking my view of my other stuff.
    Any help would be appriciated.

    There are only two ways to have a dashboard widget on the desktop, but not floating over everything:
    1) The shareware application Amnesty Singles ($10); and
    2) The shareware application Amnesty Widget Browser ($20).
    No other methods exist.
    Disclaimer: I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link [my company developed Amnesty].

  • Dashboard Widgets Partially Unresponsive

    Hi guys,
    My Dashboard widgets are partially unresponsive. For instance: I can enter text in the note widget but not click on the "i" button. ("i" buttons are unresponsive on all widgets)
    If I were to click on the weather widget it would shrink to a bar normally, but now that doesn't happen. Can't select a different stock on stocks etc. All my widgets are fully functional, they have just lost the ability to interact. (Command+R still works though). All other aspects of my Dashboard are fine though, I don't know what's up!
    Thank's in advance
    -Grant

    I have considered that, just have to find a time when I am not busy I have searched Google and nobody else seems to be having the same problem or know a fix for it. I'm starting to think that a fresh start is indeed my only option. Oh well, I'll give it a few more days...

  • Dashboard Widgets Not Responding... :(

    Hello There apple guys...
    well like the tittle says, mi widgets from my dashboard are not refreshing nor responding... i've tried, deleting preferences files. (both)... repaired permissions from the boot disk and nothing seems to work. when i use "killAll Dock" command on terminal, they work for at least 5 seconds. then they got froze..

    Hi all,
    Just installed Leopard fresh on my late 2008 mbp and everything is just swell, apart from none of my dashboard widgets working
    Why did you do that? Was there some problem?
    The dashboard fires up OK but any widget I drag onto the screen doesn't work. e.g. the clock has no hands, calendar has no date etc .. When I close a widget it crashes the dashboard completely and I'm dumped back to the desktop.
    Try creating a new user account and see if the problem occurs in that one.
    When posting a crash log, you might want to remove any personal names, etc before making it public.
    I don't see anything in your log, but it pays to be careful.
    Your computer name in the crash log seems to have hyphens in it. It's best to have a computer name with no spaces, no special characters, etc., but that may not be the problem here, just a suggestion.
    The crash seems to involve vImage and a graphic png or at least the libpng library but I don't see anything specific.
    Someone else with better crashlog smarts will probably help you more.

  • Dashboard Widgets and Opening Apps

    Hi, I'm having a hard time with my Dashboard Widgets and opening applications.
    With my Dashboard Widgets, I can't click on the "more info" button. So if I put a clock Widget on my Dashboard, I can't change the region since I can't click on the "i" button. Is there anything you can think of as to why this would happen?
    Also, whenever I open an application, it always loads in the background, keeping my current app in the foreground. Usually when I open an app, it loads in the foreground over my current app. For example, if I have Finder active and I click on Safari, Finder is still active and Safari loads in the background (inactive). I have to click on Safari to make it appear in the foreground and it's kind of annoying.
    I really don't want to do a clean installation of Snow Leopard since that takes a good chuck of time to do. I tried repairing my disk permissions and reinstalled Snow Leopard using the installation disc to see if it would fix important system files but even after that my Dashboard Widgets and app opening problems exist.
    Thanks for any suggestions and help you guys can provide.

    Does anyone else have this problem? I've done a virus scan using Sophos Anti-Virus and nothing comes up.

  • Dashboard widgets can't connect to internet

    Recently, my dashboard widgets can't connect to the internet. I've tried restarting, clearing the preference files for the dashboard and turning littlesnitch off. Any other ideas? All widgets affected, not just 3rd party ones.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
