Help! Can't drag Widgets to use them.

I have some standard Widgets in the Library/Widgets folder and one third party Widget in my user/mummer/library/widgets folder.
When I activate Dashboard, and try to add Widgets, they all show up in the bar across the bottom. I can drag the third-party Widget into the use area, but I cannot drag any of the Widgets in the Library/Widgets folder. Nothing happens when I click on them.
I already tried trashing the com.apple.dashboard pref files and restarting. I'm stumped.
Any idea what's up with that?
Thank you.

I have a similar problem, I secured permissions and the computer corrected a few Widget permisions, but the problem remains. I can drag widgets from the widget bar, but after approximately three seconds, the widgets simply disappear, don't shimmer or anything, but just disappear, pop!

    i can not access face time or icloud on my phone they atr there but can not click on to use them????

    These ones are tricky. But the following instructions are worth a try.
    First do a complete uninstall of iTunes and related components (but don't reinstall just yet), as per the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    a. Launch regedit (Start >> Search Programs and Files >> type Regedit and open the regedit that comes up.)
    b. Access the following Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData \S-1-5-18\Components
    c. Perform the following actions
    i. Right Click on Components Folder
    ii. Select Permissions
    iii. Select Full Control and Read Permissions options
    iv. Select Advanced Button
    v. Select Owner Tab
    vi. Select to Change Owner to the Administrators
    vii. Check the option “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects”
    viii. Select OK when prompted that it may not change all.
    ix. Select Apply
    x. Select Apply again
    xi. Exit the Registry Editor
    Now try reinstalling iTunes again. Does it go in properly this time?

  • Can't drag windows around using the title bar-CS4

    I just upgraded to CS4 at work last week and I'm already regretting it. Firstly, using two monitors, CS4 must like my graphics card becasue as soon as I open a document and it begins to render the window, the main monitor loses it's signal and cuts off. So I have to hard shut down and make my 2nd monitor the main one, open CS4 and a file on that monitor, then make it the 2nd monitor and pass it over to my real first monitor with a file open and make that monitor the main one again. Added to that, randomly, files will open as tabs even though I have the option unchecked in prefs. I hate tabs, I want my windows floating. But I digress.
    My current issue is the file windows are not movable using the title bar. I can expand/contract every side grabbing the edge, but clicking, holding and dragging any of the title bar is ineffective. I can drag to tab to undock it, but once floating, the title bar is non-funtional for grabbing. I can also double click on it to tab, just not to drag.
    I use a mac at home and thankfully Adobe hasn't forced the edge to edge palette background on that platform. On the mac we get a 'classic view' or something that does away with the desktop blocking grey window background. Seriously, I can't stand the full screen look. Why can't windows have that option to have just the menu bar, palettes and file windows allowing the desktop to be visible? /rant

    A new video card is often a good idea if yours is over 2 years old.  Even the modern "budget" (e.g., ~$100) cards are hugely powerful nowadays.

  • Help, can I declare an object using a variable name

    I need to make a bunch of objects using a for loop, so I was wanting to name the object one of the variables that I read. But I basically want to know if I can do this.
         private Software makeObject(String proName, int proStock, double proPrice,String objName){
              Software objName = new Software(proName,proStock,proPrice);
              return objName;
    I want to create a Software object using the objName inputted to it. The software object holds three fields as you can see. The name, num in stock, and price. However it won't let me do this, because it says objName is a duplicate variable. Help would be appreciated

    private Software makeObject(String proName, int proStock, double proPrice,String objName){
    Software objName = new Software(proName,proStock,proPrice);
    ... it won't let me do this, because it
    says objName is a duplicate variable. Help would be
    appreciatedWell, it is duplicate. Change the name of one or the other of those variable names.

    Make sure that you have set iTunes to "manage songs manually" - otherwise, all synchronization is automatic and you cannot drag songs to the iPod.
    Of course, the automatic synchronization works fine if that is what you want/need (that is what I use, works fine)

  • HELP, CAN"T LOGIN TO COMPUTER, USING OTHER ONE, FORGOT PASSWORD.    HELP!!!

    Please Help Me

    Boot with your install disk, when it starts up, select your language, on the next screen, you'll get menu items, select Utilities, and one of those will be reset password. Do that, select Startup Disk, select the internal HD, and click on restart. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106156 for further details.

  • Just wondering how to make the brushes i load stay?? i can load new brushes and use them fine but if the computer is shut down or photoshop is closed they arent there when i re start it and i have to load re load them????????

    i think i must be doing something wrong..not saving them properly or something??..its a pain in the --- having to reload everytime

    Photoshop writes the preferences file upon exit. If you shut down your computer without properly quitting photoshop there's a chance the preferences will not be properly saved and you will be back to defaults. Always close photoshop, then shut down your computer.

  • I Can't Drag Pics to iPhoto in the Dock Anymore....

    Hey Hey!!!
    I upgraded to Snow Leopard and since then, I can't drag pics and leave them in iPhoto in the dock.
    The pics drag, but bounce back when I let go of them in iPhoto.
    What can I do to change this?
    Thanks!!!!
    Dan

    Hey Hey
    Are you dragging from the Finder? Or for a Web Browser? If it's Safari right click on the pic and choose 'Add to iPhoto Library'.

  • I have just upgraded to OS X Mavericks. It wanted me to upgrade my 20000 photos before the New iphoto could use them. I did. 43.6GB of photos became 1.8GB of very small photos of arounf 178KB instead of 2.5MB. Can't do anything with them. Help?

    The obvious and simple solution is to restore from the back up you made before upgrading.
    Other than that you'll need to give us a lot more detail. Mavericks doesn't ask you to upgrade your Photos, upgrading to a later iPhoto asks you about upgrading the Library. Where is the library? What version were you upgrading from? Anything else you can tell us that might help understand the problem you're having.
