How to delete Dashboard Widget processes?

I had 2 widgets (California Coastal Cams and NZ Mac, the first being webcam images of the California Coast and the latter being New Zealand Radio). For a variety of reasons I don't remember (nothing to do with disliking either place, I love Calif, used to live there, and NZ is cool, tho not been there yet) i deleted the widgets. Went to the Dashboard "Manage Widgets" thingy and got rid of 'em.
Now, my problem: although I trashed them months ago, Activity Monitor and iStat pro both say they exist. The processes are running. I go to Activity Monitor and stop the processes, but they show up as running sometime later (Perhaps after a restart or an awaken from sleep mode.)
How do I get rid of these processes, to make them not show up in any fashion in AM or iStat? Do I go into Terminal and "kill" them? (I've never done that, but am eager to explore Unix.)
iMac 17" 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   512 MB 667 MHz RAM; iSight

If you mean just to close it, press the "+" icon in the bottom left and then click the 'x' on each widget to close.
If you mean delete permanently delete it, see this article:

  • How to delete masterdata via process-chain

    Hi Specialists,

    But I cannot find a possibility to do that via the process-chain. There seems only to
    be the option to delete the content of cubes and ods-object, but not of info-objects.
    Could you please gimme some hint?!
    Best regards,

    Use function module RSDMD_DEL_MASTER_DATA  in a ABAP program.. then schedule it in process chain..

  • How to delete, change widgets, etc. on My Verizon Central home page

    Hi,
    Three-quarters of my Verizon Central home page and the Just for Me area is occupied by stuff I have no interest in, such as Entertainment, Sports, Top Movie Videos, etc. I can't find any way to change, deletete or block this stuff to reflect my interests.
    Is there any way to customize the Verizon Central home page, other than by adding still more widgets?
    Thanks for any suggestions you can provide.

    This is what I did...
    I used Firefox with the add-on(s) "AdBlock Plus" and AdBlock Plus: Hiding Element"
    to block
    #1
    |http://www.verizon.net/central/resources/images/j​ustforyou/*
      #2
    |http://www.verizon.net/central/resources/images/*
    I have no idea of how to block it, any other way.
    "AdBlock Plus" at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/186​5
    "AdBlock Plus: Hiding Element" at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/436​4
    Good luck.

  • Delete Initialization using Process Chain

    Hi Experts,
    How to delete initialization using process chain? Additional question, why does our DTP couldn't get any data from PSA? We just transfer our DTP to other process chain and left its associated infopackage from the original process chain but when we check our extraction, our DTP always gets zero (0) records. What do we need to put in our DTP settings? and infopackage and DTP should always be in the same process chain??
    Thanks,
    nips

    Hi UserPV,
    Thanks for your inputs!
    Anyway, our InfoPackage in the other Process chain executed succesfully and has an extracted data. Now, our DTP can't get any data from the PSA where the extracted data of InfoPackage resides first. Is there any other way around to separate DTP and its associated infopackage in different process chains? Or those objects should be in the same process chain?
    Another questions, how can we delete an initialization using a process chain? and is there a function module that can we use to remove the initialization request so that we could re-initialize a process?
    Thanks,
    nips

  • Dashboard Widget causes error and I can't get dashboard to stay open - how do I find the file to delete?

    I put "levelwidget" on the dashboard - it is supposed to make a macbook into a Level.  Sounded interesting...now I regret!
    The widget is corrupted and now when I try to open the dashboard it immediately closes and gives me an error message "you can't open the application motion because power pc applications are no longer supported"
    How do I delete this widget so I can open the dashboard.
    I've tried to look up the file, but can't seem to find dashboard widget files. 
    Thoughts?
    Grant

    Sorry didn't realise you were an Apple Newbie!
    No problem, when you're in the Finder, check along the menus at the top of the screen.
    You should see Finder (in Bold) File, Edit, View, Go, Window and Help. Click the Go menu and with the mouse go to the second to last item which is 'Go to Folder…' then you be presented with a dialogue box ready to type some text into.
    Now you can type the text ~/Library/Widgets into the box. The Tilde character is next to the left Shift key (Press and hold the Shift key and then press the ~ key.
    It will be easier if whilst you're reading this message, you highlight the text ~/Library/Widgets and go to the Edit menu, select Copy, then go to the Finder and when you've the Go to Folder… dialogue window open, go Edit Paste and it will fill the box for you. Then just click the Go button and it should show your Widgets. Again if not the one just repeat the Go to Folder… bit and this time just remove the ~ at the beginning of the line

  • How to open and read an external file in Dashboard widget?

    I am new to Dashboard widgets and also Javascript. I have written a widget that needs to open and read a file on the local file system. I have searched a lot and have not found any documentation or reference on the internet as to how to do this.
    I know it can be done since there is a checkbox in the widget attributes that says "Allow External File Access".
    can anyone help me out here?
    Thanks

    You need to define the AllowFileAccessOutsideOfWidget key to Yes.
    You also need to define the AllowFullAccess key.
    You may also need to define the AllowSystem key (to Yes of course).
    Mihalis.
    PS. If you cannot find any other documentation please check http://widgetbook.blogspot.com.

    Thanks

    Hi,
    If Cube/DSO then we can choose the option Delete the Contente of the DataTarget in Process Type in PC. But for Mater data you can see any FM is available and keep that FM in Program and Insert that Program in PC's
    RSDMDD_DELETE_MASTER_DATA
    RSDPW_MASTERDATA_DELETE
    See the above TWO FMs in SE37 and if it is working then keep in in one simple program and then call that Propgram in Process Chain
    Thanks

  • How to capture an HTML snippet like dashboard widget?

    How do you copy a website html to paste into an iWeb 09 html snippet? Is there a copy command in the Safari browser like when you clip a snippet to make a Dashboard widget? That would be too easy. Do I need some other software for copying the html?

    Photog Dog wrote:

    Drag your pointer over the embed code so that it is all highlighted in blue. Then do ⌘C to copy it and then paste it into iWeb's HTML Snippet window by doing ⌘V.
    Is there a copy command in the Safari browser like when you clip a snippet to make a Dashboard widget?
    No — Only the general ⌘C and ⌘V editing commands mentioned above.
    Do I need some other software for copying the html?
    No.

  • Dashboard Help!! Cant get into dashboard to delete PowerPC Widget

    I recently downloaded a widget to my dashboard and now when I attempt to go into dashboard I receive an error message that boots me out of dashboard and onto my desktop. The error message reads "You can't open the application motion because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." I want to delete the widget, but I am unable to because I get kicked out of dashboard before I am able to hit the plus sign to delete the widget.
    I was wondering if there was any other way to delete a widget besides going into Dashboard or if there are any other ways to fix my problem.
    I am using a Macbook Pro Early 2011 edition Mac OS X Lion 10.7
    Thanks for the much needed help!

    You should be able to delete it from the widgets folder in your home Library (~/Library/Widgets).
    To get into your home Library, hold the option key down while activating the Go menu in Finder.

  • How to: Embed YouTube in Ibook/Location of File, Open in Dashboard Widget Code?

    Hi,
    I am new to the whole Mac experience and loving it after 25 years locked into the MSGATES paradigm. I have been playing around with Ibook and have made a book. I would like to embed a You Tube file and it seems it is not as simple as slecting an HTML widget and then dropping in the Youtube embed code. Or is it?
    Instructions are to create a widget and then drag the widget code into the HTML widget in iBooks. I was able to make it as far as to learn I can make my YouTube video a custom dashboard widget using the "File," "Open in Dashboard" method in Safari.
    Once I did this I was able to select the portion of the YouTUBE page and click to make the YouTube widget. Presto, easy as pie. But where is the .wdgt file (and/or other related files to this custom dashboard widget) stored? I was able to find the widget directory in my root but only the preinstalled widgets were there--not the the widget I was able to make with the "File," "Open in Dashboard" method.
    Is this the most straightforward way to embed a You Tube file, or is there another way?
    It seems this should/can be as easy as just dropping the embed code into the HTML widget in iBooks. perhaps a consideration for the next version of iBooks...
    Lov'in the Apple experience

    We use a container thats ratio matches the video and insert following format into the folio overlay controls for Web Content: https://www.youtube.com/embed/ jyOFS5lAG68    *PLEASE NOTE: there is a space between the embed/ the video ID.  Remove it to see how the video looks when you paste the link.
    We found this works on both iOS and Android.

  • How do I save preferences/values using javascript in dashboard widget?

    How do I save preferences/values using javascript in dashboard widget? I apologize if this is a stupid question but I simply cant seem to find a way. For example, if on teh back side of the widget teh user chooses the color of the widget, where or how do I save that value so it is retained the next time the user goes to the dashboard. Also, once saved, how do I read the value?
    Thanks a mil....
