Dashboard widgets showing missing plugin icons

A couple of my Dashboard widgets - notably Flight Tracker and Unit Converter - appear with the missing plugin icons and do not work. How do I fix this?

Don, this can happen if you accidently overwrote these widgets (which should have been pre-installed with your machine) with PowerPC versions from an older Mac. Did you use migration assistant to transfer your files over to your new machine (and if so, could you have accidently copied over these widgets)?
Unfortunately, the only solution is to 1) reinstall OS X or 2) use Pacifist to extract the widgets from your OS X install disks.

  • ARD 3.4 - Dashboard Widget says Missing Plugin after successful download

    Downloaded and successfully installed 3.4 for ARD (Admin). Downloaded and successfully installed 10.6.6 (App store, etc.). Downloaded and successfully installed ARD 3.4 Widget for Dashboard. When I got to add to Dashboard, Icon is there, but it says Missing Plugin.

    Jimmy,
    Looks like you're in luck. I was in the middle of updating some of my other machines and noticed that there was a new version of the widget installer posted. After installing, I didn't need to remove any of my widgets for the ARD widget to work again.
    Try installing it and see if it works for you. http://support.apple.com/downloads/DL1351/en_US/RemoteDesktopWidget.dmg

  • Xperia z3 foto widget show broken image icons instead of image thumbnail/preview

    Initially I used my Z3 without SD card. Everything word fine: album AND the foto widget which allows to browse through taken pictures.After- installing an SD card,- changing the location for newly taken pictures to SD card- AND moving some pictures to other directories -- AND creating a number of .nomedia files on these directories to make these pictures not appear in the album nor in the foto widget, the foto widget shows a broken image icon for ALL pictures taken until this change. All new pictures display fine in the widget and the album app. I delete the album cache and data file (in settings -- all apps -- album).This didn't change anything (so far). How can I force the album app/widget to recreate it's database and preview/thumbnails?? Thanks a lot.M~

    @z3_owner Settings > apps > album > clear data > uninstall updates > restart the phone > wait few minutes > remove the nonmedia files too. Followed your instructions without success so far.a) how long could it take to recreate database and thumbnails? The main picture directory (DCIM on the SD card) contains almost 1000 pictures).b) Where should the .thumbnails directory reside? Should it -- after switiching to the SD -- be in /storage/sdcard1/DCIM or still in  /storage/sdcard0/DCIM as it was before the installation of the SD card?c) How can I either force the media scanner to run and update the foto widget pictures and album database or see/verify that it does run. Thanks again. Michael

  • Cannot update Flash due to missing plugin "application/getplusplusadobe16291"

    I have the current version of Firefox and am trying to update Flash Player. The top of the Adobe download page shows missing plugins required to view all the content. When I try to install the missing plugins, they are listed as unknown with the above text. When I try to manually install and open gp.xpi it says it already exists and I say to replace and try to open the download and Adobe Reader says it cannot open because it is unsupported or has been damaged.

    That plugin is not needed, you can install Flash by using the manual installers, for details see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller

  • Hello  My system version 10.5.8  I have installed Safari update - 5.0.6 and the browser stopped working. At openingit shows the following icon:   "Safari has suddenly finished working. Possible problem is in the action of the plugin "TastyAppsAVPlugin".

    Hello
    My system version 10.5.8
    I have installed Safari update - 5.0.6 and the browser stopped working. At openingit shows the following icon:
    "Safari has suddenly finished working. Possible problem is in the action of the plugin "TastyAppsAVPlugin".
    After deleting all plugins from the folder "Internet Plugin", Safari worked again no problem, BUT all sites with flash content (e.g.YouTube) did not work.
    I then tried the following experimental steps:
    a) Moved all plugins from the folder "Internet Plugin" into a temporary folder.
    b) Downloaded and istalled Adobe Flash Player version 10.3.181.34
    c) Started Safari and it did not work ( same message"TastyAppsAVPlugin")
    d) Deleted Adobe Flash Player from the folder "Internet Plugin". Safari worked.
    e) Moved back all plugins, except Adobe Flash Player, from the temporary folder to "Internet Plugin" folder. Safari works... But Flash won't work!!! Before update to Safari 5.0.6 , ev erything worked perfectly well.
    Guys, please solve the problem

    MayaMa --
    There are many threads on this.  I typed "Uninstalling TastyApps" in the Google search, and came up with these:
    http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Uninstalling+tastyapps&ie=UT F-8&oe=UTF-8
    I do not know which of the many TastyApps haxies you have.  Perhaps it would be better to contact them directly, once you know which of their products you have.

  • Show and hide events in a dashboard widget

    These two functions never seem to fire off. If the widget is hidden the hide function doesnt run and the show function only runs on the insitial load.
    My problem here is that i am running a setinterval to perform a task every 30 seconds while visible and when the dashboard closes and the widget is hidden the timer still runs. I'd like it to stop and only start again when the widget shows, any ideas?

    I would use visible and includeInLayout properties

  • IPad running iOS 5 has on the menu bar only have 4 icons, being: back, forward, bookmarks, and the "add to bookmarks", but is missing an icon after the "add to bookmarks" arrow, that is a "show all open browser windows" icon. How do I get it in my safari?

    iPad running iOS 5 has on the menu bar only have 4 icons, being: back, forward, bookmarks, and the "add to bookmarks", but is missing an icon after the "add to bookmarks" arrow, that is a "show all open browser windows" icon. How do I get it in my safari?

    What you are seeing is how Safari works now in iOS 5. There is no way to get that icon in Safari now. There other much better browsers available in the App Store. Look at iCab Mobile, Mercury, Atomic, ....
    I have been running iOS 5x for so long now, that I don't even remember if that icon did appear in earlier iOS versions

  • Attachments in Mail show as a Plugin Icon

    We have just installed 10.5.6 on our Intel iMac at work and when we receive or attach anything to a message (pdf's or images) it shows up as a blue plugin icon, When the message is sent the person who receives the message can see the the attachment ok.
    Anyone any ideas on why this is happening and what we can do to correct it?
    Regards
    Adrian

    The problem has been sorted the plugins within the Mail app where in a folder called Plugins Disabled we moved them back to the plugins folder and everything worked fine.

  • It shows me that I need to install missing plugins when I click on it it shows that I don't have any missing plugins i reinstalled it three times please help me

    I had a problem opening tumblr so i reinstalled firefox and now whenever open a website it show a bar says additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page then i click on the button next to it that says install missing plugins and it says no suitable plugins are found please please please help me as soon as you can i love firefox but now using it is too hard .

    Hi abudardaa, I can only think of one plugin that nearly every page requires...
    Do you have the Flash player installed and enabled? You can test on Adobe's page here:
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Could you also try Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any difference?

  • Can't find my icon Dashboard widgets that are preinstalled

    can't find my icon Dashboard widgets that are preinstalled

    you don't see this in your Dock?  That's where all the widgets would be.  Click on the "+" in the bottom left hand corner when dashboard is open to add widgets.

  • MISSING PLUGINS: DO NOT SHOW AGAIN CHECKED AND STILL ASKS ALWAYS!

    When opening InDesign documents, I often received the message about MISSING PLUGINS,
    the dialog box gives me the choice of not seeing this message again, but I always get those messages anyway afterwards (yes: for the same plugins).
    Very annoying. If I'm really missing plugins, that's my problem. Why is this such an issue?
    Thanks
    G5, Leopard, Creative Suite CS3 Premium, tons of RAMs, tons of hard drive space, etc.

    I have to admit this is an annoyance of mine too. I have plugins that no one else has where I work. If some one else has to open my files or package them for some reason they also have to do the interchange route, which is a total waste of time (and not very convenient)--especially for files that didn't even use the plugin, just were edited on a machine that had the plugin. ID definitely needs to honor the "ignore" the plugins when the user wants them ignored without having to "clean" the document through interchange. Older versions used to ask you if you wanted to open the files without the plugins, and you could purge the documents that way. Why can't it now? Seems like a pretty straightforward thing to me.

  • Change Subviews in a Dashboard Widget

    I am trying to make a Dashboard widget, but the way I am trying to make it would involve using more than two subviews. The two that are already there by default are the front and the back, and I already know how to create more. The problem is that I can't find any way to get the widget to show any subviews. I need to know how to make it so that the user can click on a button and there will be a transition to a new view, similar to how the info icon takes you to the back. It seems like a simple process, but I need a lot of help here. I tried using the same code (slightly modified) that was used to make the info icon take you to the back, but it doesn't work. A lot of help or a good tutorial would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Try this resource - search on subview...

    Are all of your widgets missing?
    In Finder, open Macintosh HD, then click on Library, then Widgets. Does this folder have widgets?
    If so, it's likely your Dashboard preferences have been corrupted. Click on your home folder, followed by Library, then Preferences and trash these files:
    com.apple.dashboard.client.plist
    com.apple.dashboard.plist
    Log out & back into your account and see if Dashboard is working properly.

  • Dashboard (Widget) turning ON/OFF automatically...Please Help!!

    Everything was working fine yesterday...
    I don't know if these two events are related, but today when I turned ON my computer and tried logging online I saw that Comcast had turned OFF my Internet Connection because of a late payment. Moments latter, after I made the payment and got my internet re-connected again this started happening...
    I logged online and for a minute or so it was fine, then all of a sudden there was a weird brief moment were I did not have any control over my computer... I thought something was being installed without my consent. So I tried logging OFF but the computer was Frozen, So I Shut down the computer manually using the ON/OFF button on my Display.... I don't remember exactly all the details of what else I did, but a few minutes latter I turned my computer back ON...
    My (Widget) dashboard window and the Volume Indicator started turning ON/OFF automatically. And now it's happening every few minutes and I can't control it.
    If I'm on my Desktop screen the Finder Window pops open prompting me: "you can not use the name that begins with Dot." The Keyboard keys Freeze and I have to randomly hit a bunch of keys or shut the computer down to use it again. As I was typing this email it would interrupt it and add one of these numbers (.0 or 3) to were ever the cursor was currently at. The mouse seams to work OK, but sometimes it freezes too.
    And, If I'm online the browser would freeze whenever the Widget application automatically started turning ON/OFF on the screen.
    Here are things I tried that I thought would fix it:
    1. I trashed the widget preferences from my User/Library.
    2. I trashed the widgets I thought were causing the problem.
    3. After the above did not work, I trashed the Dashboard Widget Application thinking it would be Deleted out of my computer. Unfortunately that did not fix the problem... I found out that the Widget dashboard Application is still somewhere in the sub layer of the system.
    I don't know what is going on and need some help here...
    So, can anyone Please help me out.. any Step by Step instructions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Frank, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    First thing I'd do is Run Repair Disk from your Tiger DVD or discs that shipped with your Mac.
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair.
    If you repair errors run it until no errors found.
    Next, I'd try to repair this with 10.4.9 PPC Combo Update.
    This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before. It has worked well for many.
    Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
    Good luck, let us know.
