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!

Dashboard widgets not working. I trash the dashboard .plist and redo all widgets then after a restart. Widget not working again.

Yes hello,
My widgets are not working as well, i looked on forms and it seams that the 10.5 update fix there problems. I also did an archive and install from 10.4... One of the major reasons i purchased the upgrade was to use widgets to clip parts of safari, i'am totaly bummed because all forums i find end with the question un answered. i'am a little bummed becuase there are a couple of things that worked with 10.4 that are not working in 10.5 (like some meg moives not playing.
i do not wish to create a new account because i do not want to reinstall all my software, photoshop, final cut, dvd studio pro.. etc.
i hope to find the fix some how.
I have opened up the console application and when i select widgets load or delete them i see no activity in the console. I'am not familiar with the console app. or command lines.
is there any more info on this matter? is there any support from apple?
Thankyou

Itunes Dashboard/widget Not working

I have searched and found a number of people stating the same problem but no solution has been offered or confirmed.
The Itunes widget stopped working it will no long display the current song playing and does not allow you to control the songs playing. If you click on the controls a window will come up saying the widget crash and would you like to re-start even though it is still running. This problem is not limited to apples own itunes widget other itunes widgets are doing the same thing.
I can only conclude this has something to do with itunes 7.1.1 or early because it use to work and not it does not. The only Itunes widget that still works is AlbumArt widget.

This is what mine looks like when I don't get any results:

Is your's like this, or is it different?

Safari, dashboard & help not working after 10.4.9

I have loved my iBook since day 1, until 10.4.9. This is my first Apple computer and I was very close to being a convert. I updated through sys prefs to 10.4.9 and now: Safari opens for a split second then closes with kernel errors (or I least I assume from the crash log), no more widgets and dashboard does not work and help files do not work. What gives? I tried downloading the combo update but it was a .exe file. Forgive my lack of tech know how, I know some, enough to get me in trouble evidently. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried booting into safe mode, Safari does the same thing, I have tried repairing permissions in safe mode and in regular mode as admin, nada. HELP!

I originally updated through sys pref and just let it go. One day later things stopped working. Repairing permissions etc did nothing. Applied the combo update, verified the disk before hand, repaired permissions after the update and reboot, now things are back to normal as far as I can tell, better even in some areas. Hope this can help others with similar problems.

Google Voice Widget Not Working in Safari 5.1 which is Adobe flash wmode transparent based

Google Voice Widget Not Working in Safari 5.1 which is Adobe flash with wmode transparent set. For that matter all flash text fields in Safari 5.1 are not working accross the web when wmode is set to transparent. This is a Safari bug! Other browsers work fine.
Well after much research Adobe flash text field with wmode transparent set is not working in Safari 5.1 when any flash object has the wmode set to "transparent", or "opaque". The problem is many site must layer flash objects with html so the wmode transparent must be used.
Affecting sites like BEST BUY, WALMART, CVS, STAPLES, Chechout their flash based weekly ads and find one that you need to update the quantity in the flash pop-up and the text field with keyboard strokes will not work. Flash text fields were all working fine until several month ago when Safari rolled out 5.1 working for Google Voice Flash based widget which uses the wmode transparent. HELP!

All 3 examples seem to render just fine in IE and FF.

If not working for you, try clearing your cache to remove any old, non working versions.
Test on some other machine besides yours.
Code looks fine and seems to work.

I've branched this to it's own thread, since the issue you're experiencing is unrelated to the one you replied to, and it would be confusing to try and handle them in the same thread.
Please provide as many of the follow details as possible, so I can attempt to reproduce the issue you're describing (I realize you've provided some of it):

Rollovers in composition widgets not working

I have an ongoing problem with the rollovers in the composition widgets not working once published. I have had this issue on more than one site. The only way I have been able to resolve the issue it to rebuild the composition from scratch. This is very time consuming and does not always resove the issue. Any suggestions?

Does simply republishing afresh does not help?
Could you provide a link to such a site where we can check this issue. Please also send the Muse source file for the site to [email protected] as well so that we may also try publishing at our end and investigate.
Thanks,

Dashboard does not work today.

I have upgraded both my MacBook Air and my Mac Mini to OS 10.9.2.   The Air works just as it did in 10.9.1. Dashboard works on the Air.   But Dashboard on the Mini does not operate. I click on the Dashboard icon in the Dock. Nothing happens. I click and hold on the Dashboard icon. The pop-up menu appears. In that menu I click "Show Dashboard." No response. I click "Dashboard Preferences," and I get the Mission Control Preference. Here is how that appears:
I do not see anything here that would disable Dashboard.
Does anyone have any idea as to why Dashboard does not work in 10.9.2?
TIA

Hi Richard,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If Dashboard does not launch on your Mac Mini, you may want to see if the behavior occurs in a new user account. This article is a good guide for troubleshooting:

If the same thing happens in a new user account, I recommend reinstalling Mavericks:

Dashboard movie widget not working

Every couple of days it just spins and spins and cannot find any results. If I replace it with a new copy from manage widgets, it works again, but like I said, only for a few days. Any permanent solution?

I don't have a solution, but I didn't want to start a new thread for a similar problem. I'm having the same issue. However every once in a while after a couple refreshes I do get results, but there is no artwork for any of the movies and none of the links work in the widget. I'm using OS 10.7. Hopefully it's just a server issue.

Dashboard is not working, HELP ME!

Hi,
I am running OS X 10.5.2 and dashboard isn't working, It opens and the X appears, I can click on the X and the widget dock pops up but when a click on one dashboard closes. The only widget that opens is the one called "Widgets". Can anyone help me I've tried Yahoo! Answers but nothing there.

Could be a messed dashboard preferences file. In your home folder, under Library/Preferences/ you have a file called com.apple.dashboard.plist. This is the the dashboard preference file. You can move that file out of that folder, then launch dashboard again. This will recreate the preferences file with defaults.
Note, however, that this will in effect remove whatever preferences you had previously configured. That is why I suggest moving that file out of that folder rather than deleting that file. If this doesn't work, you can simply restore that file to its proper location.

Apple store widget not working....

the widget which lets you choose any apple store and then give you the daily schedual for its workshops is not working on my mac, ive reinstalled and and the same thing is happening, the widget shows up but when i have to choose my state/country and apple store from the drop down menu list, its not respoding when i click it and therefore nothing happens
any reasons why this is happening?
(widget is here in case you need to see which one i mean: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/shopping/applestoreeventwidget.html

It looks like the whole world is having the same problem with this widget. I've had it since it was first released, and it worked great, but recently it stopped working. I thought maybe there was an updated version, so I downloaded it again and, like you, I can't even configure the new one. There are several different threads about the problem on this board, so I think it's a server problem on Apple's end, rather than us. Either that, or the widget is unable to function with the latest version(s) of the Mac OS. Either way, I expect when Apple realizes there is a problem they will fix it.
In the meantime, you can go to the Apple web site and find your local store and view their schedule that way. Not as convenient, but it will have to do for all of us...
