Dashboard Widgets Never Seem to Work

Is anyone successfully using the dashboard widgets? I always get a message that says they can not connect, and to try re-entering my info. I know that I am entering the info correctly. I have both goals and challenges that I am a part of, so I am not sure what is happening. I did throw out the widgets and re-downloaded from the Apple site, but that did not help. Thanks in advance to anyone who may have some insight.

I have the exact same problem: The widgets can not connect. I wrote the Nike+support, but according to them there is no problem. This is what they wrote - although I clearly told them that I only have a problem with the widgets:
"We are not experiencing any general problems with the NIKEPLUS website.If you have been able to log in previously then you should type in the exact email address and password.If you would like to reconfirm your password then please phone us on 80883063 and we can check your details. Otherwise there may be a problem with your MAC.You can ask www.apple.com/dk/support for information."

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • Sync with .mac never seemed to work great, now won't work at all

    sync never seemed to work that well for me, now it won't work at all. I get the following message now:
    .Mac Sync Error
    A failure occurred while synchronizing the .Mac Sync Client.
    I've tried reseting all the .mac stuff, but nothing seems to work now. Its pretty frustrating. Plus, while mac support in the store and over the phone is superb, .mac support online is a joke. Doesn't anyone have any suggestions?

    With the exception of a framework reset, iSync no longer has anything to do with .Mac synchronization, which is instead handled exclusively by .Mac Sync.
    I would start with a search of this forum for the error messages you describe:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
    Some of the same users who answer questions here regarding iSync, also do that there for users of .Mac Sync.

  • Why does adobe cc never seem to work for me?

    So a bit of back story, Ive been using adobe products for a while know adobe cs5, cs6 and cc
    Ive never had any problem with cs5 and cs6 in the whole time ive used them, About 7-8 months ago i decided to finally upgrade to cc.
    Ever since I got it ive had major problems all the time, main one being that it seems like i haven't finished the m adobe id profile? When ever i try to use one of my adobe apps like premiere it literally always either fails to sign in, or will sign in yet say that I dont have a sequence type which yo can only get by signing in (dslr video sequences)
    Recently I decided to get a laptop which i put my second license on, It took ages to install and kept failing. Even on my laptop if im not connected to the internet it wont even let me log in, sometimes i am even connected and it still wont let me.
    Its quite hard to explain all this so that's why its a bit vague but come on adobe? What the hell is the problem, ive tried some fixes but nothing seems to work? Stop asking me to update info when all of it is up to date and filled in...

    Turns out it was an Adobe XI GPO assigned to the domain. Very strange as there were no settings within the GPO.
    Disabled and all works fine.
    Thanks for the pointer.

  • In FF4 the privacy settings never seem to work. Sites that I put permissions on never work, as each time I re-visit the sites I have to again put permissions in again.

    In page info I I always deny set cookies, deny pop-ups, deny extensions or themes, deny share locations or deny offline storage but like magic these sites seemingly have these permissions enabled again, and the only sites I don't do this on are Firefox, AOL mail, Bigstring.com.

    Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Site Preferences"
    Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

  • The Ipod Never Seems to Work

    Please help me with my iPod!! Ok here the deal...i restore my iPod ok...then when it has finished restoring and it restarts it shows the same problem...in other words i restore it but it just ends up going back to the same problem!! Pleas help me..Thanks!!

    What exactly is your problem?
    For example, is iTunes displaying this when you connect it to your computer?:
    "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. Use iTunes to restore."
    If that is the case, see if assigning your iPod a different drive letter on a Windows-based computer doesn't help your issue.
    Scroll down near the bottom of this article for more info about this issue:
    iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore"
    If that's not the issue you're facing, then could you describe exactly what error message you are recieving, or what iTunes/your iPod is behvaing like?

  • 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.

  • I have a macbook air bought in 2010 wit liquid damage that might has affected the SSD card. I need to get my data but apple won't help. Authorized dealers never seem to have the same model to try whether the SSD card works. How can I get my data quickly?

    Hi
    I have a macbook air bought in 2010. It has liquid damage that might or might not affected the SSD card. I need the data on my SSD card for work and I need it urgently. Apparently Apple won't get the data out, even if I have apple care... Licensed apple dealers need to have the same macbook air model so they can insert the SSD card and check whether the data is there, and they never seem to have one...
    I'm really disappointed with apple. It's been two weeks and I haven't been able to find out whether the SSD card is holding my data. It can't take that long to do it in store... How can they sell a product and then wash their hands on the matter?
    Anyway, enough with the apple rant. I need to get this data urgently so I need to find out how I can get it out of the card. The SSD card and data might be fine so I don't want to take it to a data recovery centre and get charged loads.
    Thanks for your help.

    See this link for a 4870 card, best instructs for flashing for a noob like me. (last lowest price was $150 for a 1GB vRAM 4870 from TigerDirect).

    However, not every 4870 card will work with the ROM currently floating around out there. BEWARE!

  • I'm using iphoto9.1.3 but now it doesn't seem to work, whenever I try to open it, it just shows loading, but never loads. Can anybody help me with this ?

    I'm using iphoto9.1.3 but now it doesn't seem to work, whenever I try to open it, it just shows loading, but never loads. Can anybody help me with this ?    

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Back in the days of leopard, the dashboard widgets would come to the foreground but you could still see what you were working on.  Now I've updated to mountain lion and the work is no longer visible when I activate dashboard.  Can I change that back?

    Go to system preferences, mission control, and unselect "Show Dashboard as a Space".  While you're there, you may want to make dashboard set to a hot corner "Hot Corners" button at the bottom.

  • My iMac keeps on losing internet connection. Webpages get stuck after a minute or so. If I check the internet connection via diagnostics it seems to work just fine. Others, like the iPad use the same wifi connection and never fail. What can I do?

    Running 10.6.8 on Intel dual core iMac, it keeps on losing internet connection. Webpages get stuck after a minute or so. If I check the internet connection via diagnostics it seems to work just fine. Others, like the iPad use the same wifi connection and never fail. What can I do?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • Album art work dashboard widget for PC

    hi
    Does anyone know where i can down load Album art work dashboard widget for PC
    Rod Dohrman

    Im having issues manually importing artwork to all
    the songs on a CD. I used to select all the songs
    and drag the album artwork to the "Drag album artwork
    here" box. Now I can only get the art work to show
    up for the current song playing. Therefore, I have
    to play each song and drag the artwork to each song
    on the CD. There has to be an easier way because I
    used to do this and it worked find. Has something
    changed in 7.2?
    Select all of the tracks of the album, then open the Get Info window and drag your artwork to the little artwork box in the lower right.

  • "i" button not working on Dashboard Widgets

    None of my dashboard widgets will flip over to allow preferences to be selected. I have tried deleting the dashboard preference files from my preferences, and this makes no difference. This only appears to be a problem in my main account, as in a clean account widgets flip quite happily. Any ideas as to what could be causing the problem?

    delete the file home directory/library/preferences/com.apple.dashboard.plist and log out/in. your active widgets will be reset to the default ones. see if the "i" button works now.

  • Dashboard Widgets not working...

    I noticed last night that my Dashboard Widgets not longer were functioning.  After searching here, I tried doing "~./Library/Prefrences/com.apple.dashboard" refresh and all, but no joy.  I tried verifying and repairing permissions, but also no joy.  I also can't enable iCloud Calendar and Reminder setting in System and wonder if all these problems are interconnected....

    Thanks,  That got me to thinking and discovered all I had to do was go to System --> Mission Control, turn Dasboard off  and the re-enable it.  It worked right away.  As a side bonus, discovered "Overlay" mode and assigned (unused) F5 for that. Pretty cool!
    Stil no joy on being able to enable Calendar and Reminders in Internet Accounts either.  Although I did notice that I have two instances of the same email accounts setup in email.  Trying to delete one sends me to internet accounts, where there is only one instance.  If I delete that one and go back to Email Prefences Accounts and try to delete the remaining, it errors out saying no UID for it.  I think that "may" be related to the iCloud problems as the iCloud username is also that email address.  Not sure how to get rid of it.  I setup another Mac user login to test and everything works fine.  I just want  to get everything working for the other Mac user login account as it is highly configured.
    Hope that all made sense.
    Thanks!
