Dashboard widgets keep moving around!

I'm guessing it is related to this question: (still unanswered)
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2080780&tstart=0
But for some reason, my dashboard widgets like to shift around on my screen. I even moved them all into a gird into the upper left and corner of my screen so that it no matter what size screen I am using they will always be there. (as apposed to putting a widget in the bottom corner of my 1920 x 1200 monitor, unhooking it and then going back to the 1280 x 800 screen and finding the widget off screen.)
So is there any way to "LOCK" the positions or just stop the random shifting around?
Thanks,
Scott

I just meant open the Dashboard icons you want to use and put them where you want them.

    Hi Deeveeay,
    Try resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). When the Home screen redisplays, see if the issue has resolved itself.

  • Can an image in the slideshow widgets be moved around inside the bounding box as can be in a normal image placed into Muse (double clicking on a placed image gives the functionality to move the image around - as per Indesign functionality)

  • In admin, why do the windows keep moving around?

    When I'm logged in as admin, the windows keep moving around and it's often impossible to do anything.  Sometimes the windows turn blue.

  • Dashboard widgets keep reappearing after restart!

    Hi all.
    Every time I reboot my mac, a series of widgets keep reappearing in my dashboard that I previously removed. It's just a couple iterations of the calculator and stickies. But every time I delete them, after reboot they come back.
    I tried deleting my dashboard prefs but for some reason this didn't help!
    Any ideas?

    HI Scott,
    To remove a widget:
    To open Dashboard, press the Dashboard key.
    If your keyboard doesn’t have a Dashboard key, press Fn-F12. If your keyboard doesn’t have an Fn key, press F12.
    Click the Open + button to open the widget bar.
    Click Manage Widgets.
    Do one of the following:
    To remove a widget’s name from the widget bar, deselect it in the list.
    To remove a widget from your computer, click its Remove - button, and then click OK. Widgets that are preinstalled with Mac OS X don’t have Remove buttons.

  • Notification widget keeps moving to bottom of list

    I'm running iOS 5.0.1 and have the notification widgets set to sort manually instead of by time.
    Any time I move the Stocks widget to any location other than the bottom it looks fine until I leave the Notifications setting page. If I back out to the main Settings screen and return to Notifications the Stock widget has moved back to the bottom.
    Has anyone else seen this? Is there a setting somewhere that I can reset? Or is this a bug I should submit?
    Thanks.

    Using 24.2.0 and seem to have this issue over the last couple of versions.

  • Floating photos keep moving around??

    I'm having a real problem trying to import photos into a document and have them STAY PUT!
    I can import the photo (defining it as a 'floating object') and resize, etc., the way I want; I've been putting 'picture frames' around them and setting them to let type 'wrap' around them. I SAVE the document, but the next time I open it, the pictures have moved... sometimes as much as two or three pages??
    what do I have to do to keep them where I want them?
    Thanks.. I like PAGES, but sometimes it gets a little frustrating!

    Someone in another forum told me about the "LOCK" feature in Pages which I hadn't discovered.
    solved problem perfectly
    thanks

  • My screen keeps moving around with the cursor?

    HI everyone out there. i just got back from my 2 week honeymoon and had my G5 power mac, with a 27inch cinema display powered off the whole time. I turned it on and the screen is zoomed out a little bit. and when I move the mouse cursor around the screen image moves around with it as much as an inch or so. Did I catch a virus? or is there a setting my house guests might have touched, even though i am pretty sure they were not on it at all? Any help will do. I am updating the software right now to make sure it isn't that.

    You've inadvertently hit the key combination for screen zoom, probably. Go into System Preferences -> Universal Access and turn off the zoom function.
    Or, Command-Option-hyphen will unzoom the screen, and Command-option-equals will zoom (which is probably what got accidentally typed).

  • Lenovo a10 7600 apps keep moving around home page

    Okay so this could be a silly one. Just bought an a10 7600 and so far, loving it. Apart from one thing. I organise my apps and folders. Very happy with them. Problem is any time I turn the pad off, when I turn it back on the apps and folders move around so they're jumbled. It's weird, it's not like they go into alphabetical or size order it's just totally random. I know it isn't the end of the world but it is annoying. Anyone got any advice please? Am I missing something? Thanks in advance. John

    From another thread...
    I think I have this figured out now... I have too many darned apps. My pages are all full. Rather than installing on a page that doesn't exist, it installs on the second page so it can be found. I combined a bunch of icons on my last page in a single group and then installed a new app. Lo and behold it installed on the last page. Does that sound like a reasonable explanation?

    I'm using the up and down arrow keys to jump between cuts, but for some reason I can jump back beween cuts, but when clips are stepped up it doesn't seem to let me jump forward to the next edit.
    I assume you're referring to when you have more than one track with clips on them. In that case, you need to be mindful of which tracks are targeted; that controls which tracks are subject to the Next/Previous Edit commands.
    For example:
    Any track that isn't targeted will be ignored by the Next/Previous Edit commands. Just click the header "button" to enable or disable a track. Track targeting affects many other operations in Premiere Pro--for example, adding edits or applying transitions. Check out this Help document page for some more info: Targeting tracks
    Not sure about the MBP keyboard question, but a Google search for such turned up this: Home and End Keys on the Macbook Pro

  • Video keeps sliding around, is there a way to LOCK VIDEO???

    I'm working on a cue, and I'm making timing adjustments as I go...sometimes it's the start of the session, sometimes the tempo.
    The bloody video KEEPS MOVING AROUND. I've made absolutely sure that it's not somehow 'selected' when I make changes. The number is always random and different every time.
    It's frustrating to constantly go back to Video preferences to start the video at 01.00.00.00.
    What the heck is going on???

    a) trying to set a bad example?
    b) or just lazy?

    Let's see...
    Regarding "b", I've never been accused of being lazy, that's for sure.
    Then there's "c" -- something else. Yeah, it could be something else. But before I commit to that answer, let's look at "a" -- trying to set a bad example:
    I'm very tempted to embrace that one just to be a grump cuz it's early in the day and I haven't had enough coffee yet. But lemme tell ya, if there's anyone trying to set a bad example, it wouldn't be me. It would be... Dare I say it? Dare I mention names? Names of fruit? A particular kind of fruit? One that has varieties that include Crofton, Elstar and Gilpin?
    Well, in truth, the answer is indeed "c", something else. Let's put it this way... if someone could come up with a way by which L9 channel strip faders reacted to external CC7 (and on-screen mouse movements) with the same response curve as in L8, I'd jump onboard L9.0.more in a second. Short of that, there's no point in updating past where I am now.
