Dashhboard manage widgets gone

my widgets manager in dashboard is gone, and i cant add widgets by clicking them
does someone has the widget manager widget... u can find it in /library/widgets/
PS: im running leopard

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.

"Manage Widget" Icon gone

Hello,
I accidently removed the "manage" widget icon from my dock. Not the "dashboard" icon which displays which widgets you currently have active but this one (just the round icon, not the background:
It came loaded on the dock when i got the laptop and I actually thought it couldn't be removed. Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice or answers

That's not a good sign, I get...
I guess you could Try making a new Folder there called Resources & putting that file in there.
But I'm worried how this could go missing...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, 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. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Reboot & see if it's there now.

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?

Manage Widgets feature inoperable in Snow Leopard

Unlike many others, my existing widgets seem to work normally. Unfortunately, when I click on "Manage Widgets", nothing happens. It is inoperable. Any thoughts?

KT has already noted the same thing; I had to try it out before I posted.
I'm not sure what is wrong. Sometimes, a plist could be corrupted. Look in your username/Library/Preferences folder for a file called com.apple.dashboard.plist. Move it to your desktop and try managing your widgets. If it doesn't work, try restarting and then try again. If it still doesn't work, you can move it back into the preferences folder and replace the one that is there.
The system will recreate the plist, but you'll probably lose any customizations you've made to some of the widgets and which ones are showing. I removed mine and restarted to see what would happen. It didn't reset anything until I restarted. The Dashboard reverted to the default, but all installed widgets were still there.

How to manage widgets in Mountain Lion?

I am running OS X 10.8.2, and in dashboard, when one clicks on the Plus sign, there is no manage widgets button, only a more widgets button. I wish to delete downloaded widgets. Have tried library widgets file, but downloaded files do not appear. Any help please?

When you finish downloading a .wdgt file, it appears in your downloads(by default, you can change the folder). If you open this file, it gives a dialog: "Install (the widget) ?". If you click "install" or whatever the install confirm button is (I don't remember), it will take you to dashboard and opens the widget.
If you want to delete one, click the "+" and then the "-" (minus sign). The widget icons will vibrate like the icons on launchpad, if you click the "x" it will ask for confirmation to delete the widget.

Dashboard Manage Widgets is Hung

I see default widgets. I can add or remove widgets. When removing any widget, [Problem 1] I do not see the X image but a blank white rectangle; I click the rectangle and the widget is removed.
[Problem 2] When I click the Manage widgets, I do not see any screen opening up. I have checked if it is hiding. I want to Manage widgets and am not able to do that.
Kindly help.

N8 Widgets gone after Restore to Factory Settings

Hello All!
Could some one help me. I restored my N8 to factory conditions. All of wall papers, Widgets gone after restore. How can i get National Geographic , Face book, CNN and all other widgets back on my device.
Also free memory on phone is countinuesly going down (only 48MB left). Ialways install any app on mass mem. Where the phone mem. is going
Thank you all

Hi,
I do not really understand... Did you made a backup before restore to factory settings? And did you copy all backup files to an external device? If not, the data is gone!
Why? Restoryng to factory does not mean a reinstallation. It means to fill the whole harddisk with an image of the first (factory) installation. All other data will be destroyd! Other partitions are deleted and normally you find only one big partition - the whole hdd.
If you have a complete backup on external drive and it is corrupted during restore, try to open the files manually. Maybe you can restore some single files.
Good luck
kind regards
Stefan

IWeb Widgets gone from Published Site Hosted by GoDaddy

I have been using third-party widgets to create components for my iWeb (3.0.4 version) website. They are Beyond iWeb Pro-Pack items. (I copy to iWeb html snippet code windows the code from the Beyond iWeb Pro-Pack widget and hit "apply" and they work in TEST mode). I tested everything on my site to a local file prior to publishing the site to the internet. Upon publishing to the internet, none of these Pro-Pack widgets are visible on my site. They all functioned fine when they were in Local file "TEST" mode. They don't even appear as blank boxes or question marks (which has happened when I have incorrect paths). I wonder if it is the pathways to GoDaddy? I have spoken to GoDaddy techs about my dilemma and they only say the path to my webroot is:
/public_html
This I don’t understand. Don’t I need http://www. ….. and other file references to get to the specific file in my webroot at GoDaddy?
Beyond iWeb Pro-Pack widgets I am using:
Apple Style Video Gallery (Youtube or Vimeo)
Simple Hover Effect
Panoramic Slideshow (Smooth Div Scroll)
Photo Slideshow
When I created the Pro-Pack widgets for iWeb I used file links (through GoDaddy hosting) like http://www.wildmonkeysproductioons.com/images/WMP_VIDEO_PHOTOS/....specific photo.jpg
or---inside the cover path [in Apple Style Video Gallery (Youtube or Vimeo)] or a Youtube link in the video path (example): http://www.youtube.com/embed/LWWLM8QhVaw?rel=0
I also have non-Beyond iWeb Pro-Pack generated widgets like Youtube video widgets that are also missing from the website. I believe the problem is not with my Pro-Pack widgets but with my pathways to GoDaddy.
Does anyone have any suggestions or helpful ideas?
I do not understand website building very well and website code, for sure, I do not know.
Dan

I took your advice and changed some file and folder names. I then updated my widgets to create continuity of connection with their files and photos in GoDaddy's File Manager. Now the BeyondiWeb widgets [Panoramic Slideshow (Smooth Div Scroll)] no longer recognize the path to them. No matter what I use as a path the link is broken.
GoDaddy says the following is the absolute path: /home/username/public_html/
My user name: wildmonkeys
Examples of paths are below:
http://www.wildmonkeysproductions.com/public_html/WMP_Website_Banner_Photos/2013 _MCA_Symposium_GRAND_CANYON_Presentation-26_Dan_small.jpg
/home/wildmonkeys/public_html/WMP_Website_Banner_Photos/2013_MCA_Symposium_GRAND _CANYON_Presentation-26_Dan_small.jpg
/public_html/WMP_Website_Banner_Photos/2013_MCA_Symposium_GRAND_CANYON_Presentat ion-26_Dan_small.jpg
An example of a previously successful linked path (prior to file and folder name changes):
http://www.wildmonkeysproductions.com/WMP Website Banner Photos-small Jpegs NEW/005-RIVER DISCIPLINE-02 Dan*-small
Any ideas?
Dan
