How can I reset the calculator widget? (Mac OS 10.8)

Hi there,
My calc widget is acting up. Whenever I press a number, it comes back with double digits. i.e. i press 8 once, i get 88. I have deleted the plist files, but still no luck.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

try deleting the widget and bringing it back within dashboard by hitting the minus sign (or holding down option while hovering over the widget)
then hit the plus sign and add it back.
this might be an issue with your keyboard or mac.
have you tried resetting the PRAM

    How can I reset the number authorized Macs in my account? Two old Macs that I no longer have are still authorized, which leaves me with three working macs at home.

    Hello Joe
    You will find your answer on this page. In summary you have to deauthorize each of the 2 Macs on the Mac thenself. If it's no longer possible, then you have to deauthorize all five Macs and then reauthorize each 3 remaining

  • HT2492 How do I use the calculator widget in another window?

    How do I use the calculator widget in another window?  For ex: if I want to move the calculator to a window that shows prices of products on a web page.  I used to be able to click on the calculator and use it in another window, before I upgraded to OSX. What am i doing wrong?

    I think you have to bring it back up in widgets in a new window, you can set up a hot corner to make tis qciker

  • How can I reset the screen colors/resolution on an old white macbook?

    My screen shows neon colors and a zigzag shapes.  How can I reset the color resolution?  This laptop was supposedly fixed but when returned all my data had been "lost".  The certified mac tech said he reinstalled the OS but lost all my desktop files and HD and couldn't recover.  ODDLY, when I started the machine and started fresh, my old hard drive was still there!  Although he'd wiped out my current desktop files- gone.  But, the  screen colors went wonky all of the sudden and I don't know how to resert or correct the resolution.  Can any one share a suggestion?

    With that kind of issue after returning from a repair where a tech was inside the computer, it should be returned to the same place for an evaluation of the problem, a diagnosis, and perhaps they need to check their work to see if something came loose while they had it apart.
    The System Preferences> Displays has a panel to select settings.
    You may have to try & see about a reset of System Management Controller http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 Or, if reset of NVRAM  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 may help. Not sure if these would do anything if there is hardware damage.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How can I reset the DEFAULT zoom view in Firefox at 125%, like IE, so I don't have to reset it every time ?

    How can I reset the DEFAULT zoom view in Firefox at 125%, like IE, so I don't have to reset it every time ?
    I have seen this question asked previously and it seems there is no answer.
    I know that one can change each individual web page (that reset defaults back to 100%) and, alternatively and apparently one can load an add-on to fix the default size at Full Zoom.
    ... But any hints on how to achieve a DEFAULT 125% zoom would be much appreciated.

    Press CTRL + 0
    Have you tried Firefox's zoom feature? Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages
    You can "zoom" all sites using this add-on: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
    After installing NoSquint, click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
    If you don't have the Add-on Bar displayed, you can right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
    You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but I wouldn't go much higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
    If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.
    You can find more information about the zoom features Firefox offers in these articles:
    [[Text zoom]] - For zooming text only
    [[Page zoom]] - For zooming the whole page (including images etc.)

  • How can I reset the value of an array?

    How can I reset the value of an array at the beginning of my program?

    There is a option in LV,
    "Edit --> Make current value defult"
    Every time you reopen your VI, it will set to your custom default value.
    There are many ways of doing this.
    Another way of doing this is, You can use "sequence structure and property node". Make the property node of your array and choose "value". Then mark it to write. See attach.
