Dashboard widgets won't install

When I download a widget and click 'install' nothing happens. I have tried to move the widget directly to my home/library/widgets folder, but apparently I don't have one. When I tried to create this folder, I was told "The item cannot be created because 'Library' cannot be modified" even though this is my home library. I then hit 'authenticate' and am told the operation "cannot be completed because I don't have sufficient privileges for some of the items". Maybe I'm approaching this wrong. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Hi mamashi, and a warm welcome to the forums!
In the Finder, do a Get info on your Library Folder, at the bottom what are the Rights & Privileges?
There's also another one at...
/Library/Widgets
May have to try this...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go

Downloaded Dashboard Widgets won't run, Help.

Can't figure this one out. Widgets that come with Leopard run fine. Any I download won't launch. I have 4 user accounts, all have same problem. I created a new user account and the downloaded widgets works fine.
So, not sure what happened but all users created prior to a certain point don't work, any new users now seem fine. Anyone else seen this? Any ideas on how to resolve?

Most of the widgets in Dashboard weren't working for me. So far as I am aware, this problem started when I tried to add new third-party widgets (downloaded through Apple-Downloads) after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard.
This is what got things working again -- and was much easier than an archive and install:
1. I took a screen shot (command-shift-3) with dashboard open to make a record of widget placement.
2. I disabled dashboard with DashboardSwitch (http://braintrigger.com/software/DashboardSwitch).
     (It might be that a restart would have done the same thing -- but for me this was easier.)
3. I removed all plists with the word "dashboard" or "widget" in its name from User/Library/Preferences, and left them in a folder on my desktop.
4. I enabled Dashboard with DashboardSwitch. (I believe it's the case that if you use this program to disable Dashboard, you cannot start Dashboard though the Dock until it's been enabled again with DashboardSwitch.)
     (For those who simply restarted in step 2, I'm guessing all you'd have to do at this stage is to open Dashboard normally.)
5. With the old preferences removed, Dashboard loaded with only the default widgets open. I clicked the plus symbol, removed those I didn't want to keep, and began adding back widgets, starting with ones originally supplied by Apple, and waiting after each one to be sure it was working. If something didn't work, I removed it and went on.
6. When I was done, only two widgets still wouldn't work.  It turned out both were only designed for Tiger, specifically, and not for Leopard. One I updated -- after which, it worked fine.  The other had no update for Leopard, so I had to replace it with something similar.
7. I reset preferences on the flip side of my widgets, then used the screen shot I took in step 1 as a guide for putting things back in place. (Yes, that's finicky -- but I liked them where I had them.)
8. After I had everything running the way I liked it, I trashed the folder with the old widget and dashboard preferences, which I had left on my desktop.
Everything's working fine now.  I hope this helps someone else.

Manage Widgets dashboard widget won't close

Hi
I put the manage widgets widget in dashboard up so I could delete a widget and it didn't work. None of the widgets showed up in the list and nothing loaded. I can't close it now. Nothing happens if I click on the x in the corner or if I hold option and click it. How can I close the widget?
Cameron

I'm slow this morning, sorry.
From your users account...
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Scroll down to where you see your widgets .plist files. Drag those to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. See if that unlocks your Manage Widgets window.
Also, Repair Disk Permissions. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.
If that doesn't help, select the Manage Widgets window then press Command + R.
I found that suggestion here: http://www.macinstruct.com/node/104

Dashboard widgets won't pop up.

I love my dashboard but recently all my widgets refuse to pop up. One day when I turned my computer on and went into the dash board, all my widgets were gone so I to the menu place to bring them up again. They pop up for a second with the cool ripple animation but then they just disappear!
I have no clue what happened.
My best guess is the Harry Potter count down I had for the new movie. :S The last time I was able to use my widgets was when there was 1 day left on that thag. Anybody else have this problem before?

OK. Let's determine whether it is specific to your "Home" account...
Unless another User account exists on your computer, create a New User Account. It only takes a few minutes.
Navigate to: System Preferences > Accounts.
To add a New User, click the "plus" button located at the lower left.
Once you've made the New User, log-in to that New User account and see if Dashboard works?
If Dashboard isn't working with any User accounts, than the problem is a little deeper. Not sure what to do at that point, but likely requires mucking around with Dashboard at the System level, which we'd like to stay away from, if possible.

Brand new iMAC, Mountain Lion installed, dashboard widgets will not download. Webpage times out. Any suggestions?

Just purchased a brand new iMAC and sucessfully performed download and install of Mountain Lion (free upgrade). Discovered that dashboard widgets will not download as webpage times_out in both Safari and Firefox. Already set security to allow downloads from 'anywhere' but with no change. Downloads from anywhere else works fine, just widgets won't work, and I've been trying for several days now. Any suggestions? (firewall is off).

A particular widget won't work for a particular user

I recently upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.4.6. After trying out various widgets I have hit on a curious problem: the Unit Converter widget that is installed with the system will not work on my user account. It works on other user accounts. It works on a new "test" user account. But on my account, the widget just seems to hang: it appears, but the menus stay empty and I cannot type anything into the number fields. On other accounts this is the way it looks before it has loaded. And the same thing happens on both computers! All other widgets (Apple and third-party) seem to work fine on my account.
I have tried the following:
- trashed com.apple.dashboard.client.plist
- trashed com.apple.dashboard.plist
- trashed caches/dashboardclient
- repaired permissions with disk utility
- cleaned up caches with Applejack
- uninstalled and re-installed widgets
but the problem is still there.
The Activity Monitor tells me that the Unit Converter DashboardClient is using between 80% and 94% of CPU.
What could be special about my user account that is preventing Unit Converter from working?

Thanks for the advice, Niel. Interestingly enough, the Unit Converter had not created a plist file. I did try you suggestion of dragging all the widget plist files to the desktop, but the Unit Converter still didn't work.
But I have now found the solution. The problem was being caused by a custom number format that I had inherited from the Panther installation. In Tiger it's impossible to set a custom number format - the number format is set automatically for each region and it's impossible to change it. But it was possible to set a custom number format in Panther and it is recognized by Tiger. So I can either keep using my custom number format, in which case Unit Converter won't work, or set one of the standard number formats, in which case Unit Converter works (I see that now it actually launches, it has also created its plist file: eveidently the file didn't exist before because the widget had never got as far as creating it).
I think it's very bad that Apple removed the custom number format feature. And since the old custom number format from Panther was recognized by the new system, it's also bad that this widget doesn't work with it.
But at least I've found the solution to my own problem!

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.
Regards.

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.

Leopard completely trashed my HDD and now won't install on my MBP

I only moved away from Windows in the summer and now I feel I'm no better off. I've just upgraded my new MBP (only a few months old) to Leopard and it failed. Not only did it fail with some Sibling Link error (which fsck_hfs -r and other internet search result recommendations failed to resolve) but it resulted in my having to completely reformat my drive!
I then let the install disk do a format of my drive and install and now I get this "The installer was unable to create the folder BaseSystem.pkg on the volume ...." or words to that effect. So now I have a new MBP that won't boot and won't install an operating system!
What is this? Apple's Vista?
Is there anything I can do to get this operating system to install???

do you have a software install disk that came w/ your computer. If so, load it up, go to disk utility, zero out your HD, and then reinstall the OS from that disk. Leopard absolutely, completely, totally, and irreversibly hosed my pbg4, so much so that not only would it not eject the fri@@@@ Leopard DVD, it wouldn't even cotton pickin' START UP, save for booting into Open Firmware.. I decided that before I trashed it, I'd try one more time to start it up, hold down the **** eject key, to see what happened. I waited 30 minutes to let myself cool off before using the **** thing as target practice and, well, what'd'ya know, it started up, ejected the Leo DVD, immediately following which I inserted the disc for 10.2.7, shut it down, started it up, it booted immediatley into the installer for that OS, I went to disk utility, zero'd out the HD, after which I went about installing 10.2.7. I'm now on my pbg4 w/ that system installed and it's working (so far) flawlessly. What an absolute crock of rat @@@@ Leopard is turning out to be. Oh, btw, on this pbg4 there were no haxies, no 10.4.10 widgets, nothing fancy, save perhaps for Nisus Express and Firefox. I have Leo on a separate HD on my g5 dual 1.8 which is exactly where it's going to stay until all those bright bulbs at Apple can figure out what the **** is going on.
Hope you have better fortune,
tony

Design Premium 5.5 won't install, need for class!

This is pretty urgent as I need this to install for a course I am currently taking for college.
It installed fine before, but I uninstalled a few things from my PC and was having some problems with Adobe and uninstalled it as well.
So when I try to re-install it, it won't install... says something about UI parent? all the details below...
XP Home (32)
Reason why I uninstalled it because when I would have Foxit Reader open or my MS Word Docs open, any Adobe products menus and saves would not work. If any of the programs were open, Ctrl+Shift+S would not work to save as, simple save will not work. I need all of these programs to be open for my courses and so I tried uninstalling/reinstall, but I'm having issues reinstalling.
Any help or suggestions would be immensely appreciated!!

Thank you for your reference.
It didn't work for me however
But I did find something that solved my situation. For some reason the suite didn't uninstall Adobe Reader Pro even if it came with the suite and had to manually uninstall that. After that, everthing installed fine .
That is probably a noob's common mistake is not uninstalling everything :/
I really appreciate your response though, Mylenium.

Apple Remote Desktop Dashboard Widget v3.6 not functioning as advertised

Just saw there's an updated (A)RD Widget.
I've downloaded it but seems exactly the same as previous versions.
I can't view widget of MacMini Server. Instead has yellow triangle with exclamation point.
Can't interact/launch ARD by clicking on widget of any individual compter, SL or Lion.
Grey screen with or without spinning wheel for Lion clients.
Anyone getting the 3.6 widget to funcrtion as described?
From Apple:
About Apple Remote Desktop Dashboard Widget v3.6
The Apple Remote Desktop Dashboard widget* gives you an instant, at-a-glance view of the remote computers in your network.
It’s fully integrated with the Apple Remote Desktop administrative application, so a click on a particular computer will allow you to select and start working with any computer in the system.
* Requires a licensed copy of Apple Remote Desktop to be installed on your Mac.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1568

Same thing here.
I have 3 macs.
2 iMacs and a MacBok Pro.
MacBook Pro and iMac 1 (the newer) works fine with the widget. But both can't see the iMac 2, only the exclamation mark

Dashboard Widget Error in SAP B1 8.81 PL-08

Hi Experts,
I have installed the SAP B1 integration component and establish the connection of B1D1 and JDBC connection with company database and clicked on Test connection and it runs successfully.But when clicked on Dashboard Widget from General Settings->Cockpit-click on checkbox of Enable Dashboard Widget then it gives error "Install SAP Business One Integration Service before enabling Dashboard widget."
Please give me solution asap.
Regards

Could be a firewall or antivirus issue as the dashboard uses active x.

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 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.

Dashboard Widgets Disappearing

Here's my setup:
- I use the macbook pro standalone away from the office.
- At the office, I put the macbook in target disk mode, connect it to my G5, and use my home folder on the macbook as my home folder when I"m logged in to the G5.
Works great, except for one problem: Whenever I switch from one machine to the other, all my Dashboard widgets except for the calendar disappear.
Any suggestions on a fix or a workaround? Thanks!

The widgets you install yourself go into your home folder. If you copy your widgets from ~/Home/Library/Widgets to /Library/Widgets on your Hardrive all of your accounts will have those widgets and that should fix your problem
