How do I get dashboard widgets on the desktop again?

I used to have the stock ticker widget on my desktop all the time, but after I upgraded it disappeared. I used to be able to go into dashboard, clock and hold on a widget, then exit dashboard, and the widget would move to my desktop. Where/why has this functionality gone?

Symantec have released updates for Norton 360 and Norton Internet Security to make them compatible with Firefox 4, for details see http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Firefox-4-compatibility-hotfix-is-now-available/td-p/428894

  • I can't get any widgets onto the Desktop in Lion (10.7.2) even with devmode on. Any ideas anyone?

    So, new on the forum.
    The problem is, that My sister baught a new iMac 27" with Lion preinstalled and we then updated it to 10.7.2.
    Then she wanted the world clock from dashboard to desktop to stay and we found instructions how to do it with dashboard devmode made on in terminal.
    But.. it just doesn't work.
    We just can't get any widget onto the desktop not for a short time, not for stay.
    Does anyone any ideas.
    The third party software is not what we are looking dfor..
    In the meantime, my mom baught a new iMac 21,5" with Lion and updated it to 10.7.2.
    On this machine the widget instructions work fine!
    What can be the difference between these two?

    The Class.forName method throws a class not found exception, so ...as the compiler has told you ...you need to catch it or otherwise handle it.
    It "must be caught, or declared to be thrown".
    try {
      Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
    }catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {
      System.out.println(cnfe.toString());
    }Here, I have 'caught' it.

  • Keep Dashboard Widgets on the Desktop

    I have a TBD and a MBP, and use both displays. I want to put Dashboard widgets on the MBP desktop.
    Found some code to write in Terminal to do this:
    defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES
    and then re-start the Dock by
    killall Dock
    That worked, but now my F4 Dashboard key doesn't work, and I can't put any more Widgets on the desktop. Something must be wrong.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    With Dashcode made available, widget development is already 'on the desktop' (i.e. readily available). If you simply want the widget to be on your desktop then I don't know what else you can do.

  • How can I take a widget to the desktop

    I would like to take a widget to my desktop ¿Is it possible to do it in Lion?
    I´ve done it before in Snow Leopard but it does not work anymore
    Cheers!

    Assuming you are using iPhoto....
    You want to select the event that has the photo in it then click once on the photo so it is highlighted with a yellow ring around it and then click and drag it to the desktop.
    If you are finding it difficult to move the file that way you can select the picture in iPhoto and select
    File > Export (Command + Shift + E) and select how you want to export it (format) and where you want to put it .
    Hopefully this helps you.

  • Dashboard Widgets on the Desktop

    OK, in Tiger I used this Terminal code:
    defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES
    then, in Dashboard, I clicked and held a Widget, pressed F12, and Lo! The widget did be upon thy desktop.
    Not in Leopard.
    Any ideas?

  • My iPod Classic is no longer displaying my songs in alphabetical order.  How do I get it to organize the songs again?

    There is some kind of organization that it's using, but I don't know what that organization is.  It displays like fifty songs in alphabetical order (not songs by the same artist or on the same album or anything) but then when it gets to Z, the next fifty songs are shown organized in alphabetical order starting with A again.  So it looks kind of like this on my iPod songs list:  (using foods instead of songs)
    Apple
    Banana
    Carrot
    Donut
    Eggplant
    Fruit salad
    Granola
    Hot dog
    Ice cream
    Jerky
    Lemon
    Meatloaf
    Nutella
    Orange
    Pear
    Raisin
    S'mores
    Vegemite
    Watermelon
    Yogurt
    Angel food cake
    Bread
    Coconut
    Gravy
    Lime
    Oatmeal
    Peach
    Red velvet cake
    Sausage
    Turkey
    Vegetables
    Avocado
    Bacon
    etc.
    It's gotten very annoying, because it's incredibly difficult to find songs with no known organization.  I tried looking through the "Settings" menu but there was nothing I could find that would help me take care of this. 

    I got it to reorganize alphabetically by resetting the iPod, but then when I synced it again, it went back to the way it was before, and resetting it didn't work.  I tried resetting it while it was still plugged into the computer and that worked.  So for now, the problem is solved.  I'm just gonna post this so that if anyone else needs the solution to this, they can find this somewhat unreliable one, because I've been looking at other questions on this site and apparently nobody that asked a question about this has ever found a solution, so... yeah.  If anyone knows a more permanent solution to this problem, though, please, please please let me know!! 

  • I removed a site from my passwords saver because it didn't show the ID. When I went back to the site it didn't ask if I wanted to save the password. How can I get it to save the password again?

    I was hoping to save my site ID so I thought I'd go in and try it again, but now it won't save. Maybe I need to shut down the web and open it again. I'll try that.

    The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

  • Using widgets on the desktop

    Some large display iMac users may want to use Dashboard widgets on the desktop. There are commercial applications to do this, but for a new, free app, WidgetRunner is worth a look. It allows you to specify whether each widget should float on top, act like a normal window, or be pinned to the desktop:

  • Why can't I actually put widgets on the desktop?

    Why can't I actually put widgets on the desktop and have stay on the desktop; not float on top of all my programs so I can’t see what I am doing?
    I know there are a few widgets that claim to do this, but they don’t! (Dashit)
    Here is the main problem that I have with Dashit; it doesn’t go on the desktop, it floats on top of every program and you can’t make it actually put it on the Desktop! This makes this little widget useless! Why can’t anybody make a widget that actually puts the widgets on the desktop?
    What use is it if the darn things just float on top of every program? This just gets in the way. Dose anyone know of a widget or a way to actually put the widgets on the desktop?

    Garret, the only way to put Dashboard widgets on the desktop and select the level they live in (so they don't float over everything) is to use either Amnesty Widget Browser or Amnesty Singles. Both are shareware.

  • 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.

  • How do I get stickies widget to recognise playlist file?

    I am trying to move my dashboard stickies from my old macbook pro on 10.6 to a new imac with 10.7.
    I have transferred a file from OSX 10.6 called  "widget-com.apple.widget.stickies.plist" into the preferences folder of my user's library
    I confirmed that I want the new file to replace the pre-existing one
    When I open the dashboard, the stickies do not appear.
    What could i be doing wrong? What do I need to do?
    Many thanks in advance to all you clever folks out there.
    Alan

    I have also tried as follows:
    disabling dashboard with the following commands:
    defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
    killall Dock
    Then deleting the following files:
    widget-com.apple.widget.stickies.plist.lockfile (This file supposedly stops multiple programmes accessing new plist files at the same time to prevent ?file corruption?)
    widget-com.apple.widget.stickies.plist
    Then restarting the computer.
    Then reversing the commands with:
    defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO
    killall Dock
    Then restarting again
    Then once logged in, opening dashboard.
    It still contains only the previous sticky, even though the plist file contains all the data that I added (It hasnt been overwritten)
    Somebody must have the know-how to get dashboard to recognise the plist file? Your hekp would be much appreciated as I really dont want to have to re-write these stickies!
