I have lost Dashboard.

I have lost Dashboard. It shows the icon in Launchpad and Applications also on my Dock yet will not start. I have Mountain Lion OS so I reloaded M.Lion to no avail, any ideas
I have also added 8gb of RAM but this problem predates the upgrade

Mac

Try recreating the Dashboard plist file:
In Finder hold the Option key and from the Go Menu select Library>Preferences and drag this file to the desktop:
com.apple.dashboard.plist
Restart and test to see if Dashboard works. If so you can trash the file on your desktop and re-configure the Dashboard widgets you use.

    on the install of mavericks i have lost dashboard & my widget help.

    You may try this applescript program.
    log "  --- Starting on " & ((current date) as string) & " --- "
    -- percent
    set volume output volume 35 without output muted
    Start the AppleScript Editor
    /Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor.app
    In Snow Leopard it's at: /Applications/Utilities/AppleScript Editor
    Copy the script text to the Applescript editor.
    Save the text to a file as an application and do not check any of the boxes below.
    If you want access to the script from your Script Menu, move the script (the saved script application file) to your
    ~/Library/Scripts folder. You can also drag it to your Dock or make an alias for it on the Desktop.<br><br>
    To debug, run the script within the Applescript Editor. Click on the event log tab at the bottom of the window. Click  on the run icon.  The results from the log statement will be shown at the bottom of the screen.

  • Seem to have lost dashboard app on my MBP running 10.9.2

    Have been cleaning up my MBP a little too much lately and when I went to find the calculator widget today, the Dashboard.app wouldn't open and doesn't appear to be anywhere.  Any thoughts?????

    Try booting into Recovery mode (hold down the command and R keys whilst booting) and once at the Recovery screen, elect to reinstall Mavericks. You SHOULD get the Dashboard back and SHOULD NOT lose any data with this 'fresh' installation (always best to have backup schemes in place, of course).

  • I have lost Safari and Dashboard from my docks.

    Go to Applications, drag the Safari application to the Dock and the icon will reappear...same for Dashboard.

  • I've lost Dashboard, how do I find it?

    Somehow I lost Dashboard. It's not on the Dock, not in my apps folder (or at least I can't find it), and F12 doesn't bring it up. I tried reinstalling my bundled software but it didn't come back. Any idea?
    Thanks for any help,
    Rfillipsy

    You can use Pacifist to extract and install just that application from your install disks.
    Or, you may be able to repair this with the 10.4.5 Stand Alone Combo Update.
    This is a more robust install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before. It has worked well for many. Remember to repair permissions before and after update.

  • I have lost Lightroom 5.6 due to a hard drive crash. The old hard drive has been replaced. How can I get LR5 back? I don't have a disc. I still have my LR4 disc and key. I have another adobe  key, but don't know if it relates to LR5.

    I have lost Lightroom 5 due to a crashed hard drive. I don't have a back up disc, and I dont think I have a key. I have a an adobe key recorded but don't know if it relates to LR5. I have an LR4 disc and key. LR5 is still intact and running on my laptop, but I need to use LR% on my desktop PC. I need an address to try a download so that I can try the key which might fit it. Any ideas how I can transfer the program (with key) from my laptop? Any other ideas?

    Just download and install.
    you can find by internet search for "download Lightroom", or click here:

    Note: trial software is same as licensed software, once you license it.. (I hope you still have the license key).

  • I have lost songs from HD, and want to re-download them. iTunes won't let me as they have already been downloaded to this computer. How can I do this?

    I have lost songs from my HD (iTunes shows them as missing and although the artist folder and album name are on teh HD the songs aren't)
    If I go into iTunes I can see I have bought them, and previously downloaded them, but I cannot 're-download them' as Itunes thinks they are there. The download songs not on the Mac doesn't list them, and there is no option to download them again.
    Any ideas I either force a new download, or resent iTunes.

    Delete the entries in the iTunes library.

  • I have updated my iPhone 3s to the latest software. I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available. Help!

    I have updated my iPhone 3Gs to the latest software in an attempt to iron out a problem with a new telephone network provider (Tmobile). I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download from iTunes as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available to re-download although it all shows up on my Mac. The music and app content cannot be restored when I try to restore the phone from the back up I madeon my Mac. Help!

    Working on that now.  I'm just getting frustrated that everytime I run updates for the phone I end up with tech problems that I have to spend time solving as opposed to updates that actually improve my usage.  Now I will once again get to spend hours reloading my phone all for updates that didn't affect my usage in the first place.

  • I have lost pictures in iPhoto, but I can see them in the data folder, except they are only thumbnail size.  They will not open at regular size and are showing unreadable in the "originals" folder.  I've rebuilt and nothing is restoring these pics.

    I have lost pictures in my iPhoto.  We moved my iPhoto to a external hard drive and I believe since then, I have random pics missing.  Some pics will show up in the "photos" and some show with a title and a blank picture.  When I click on "package contents" in iPhoto, I have found the "Originals" folder where all the pics are pulling from and the file is there but won't open.  However, in the DataXML folder under package contents, I can open the file but it is much smaller (supposed to be 1 MG, but showing in the data folder as 63kb).  How can I get these pics restored in the Originals folder?  I've rebuilt the library several times and I just ran the iPhoto Library Manager and it won't pull from the data file.  Help!!

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I have iphone 3 and for some reason I have lost all my downloaded ringtones and music on my phone and when I sync with my computer it won't reload it? Any suggestions?

    I have an iphone 3 and I have lost all my downloaded ringtones and music but when I sync with itunes it will not load it back on my phone. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    When you sync with itunes on your computer make sure you have all the songs that you want to sync selected in the music tab in itunes when you connect your phone.  Also with your phone connected click on the tones tab and make sure all the ringtones you want are selected there then sync

  • Extra Channels - constant "You have lost connectio...

    The Extra Channels are now driving me and my Mrs (her more than me) mad. From getting a very rare and occasional "you have lost connection" message and frozen screen, I am now getting this error cropping up almost every 10 minutes.
    My setup (now) is:
    Infinity 2, 76 down, 17 up. Has been like this and 100% stable since installation in March.
    Vision box connected by long ethernet cable (about 20m) to port 1 on the HH3
    8-port Gigabit Switch connected to port 4 on the HH3
    Wifi not enabled on HH3 - using Apple Airport Extreme/Time Capsule to use 5Ghz
    TV/DVD in lounge and TV/WD box in bedroom connected to the Gigabit switch via Netgear Powerline
    I originally had my Vision+ box connected to the switch via Powerline, but about 3 weeks ago (when this issue really raised its ugly head) my vision+ box threw up a message saying it was no longer connected to the internet, check connections, blah blah. Checking on the HH3 showed that the box indeed wasn't connected. Power cycling the box, HH3 and the Powerlines wouldn't remedy the situation, even though everything else was working 100% - TV would connect and stream Netflix, BBC iPlayer etc. So in desperation, I laid in a 20m ethernet from the Vision+ to the HH3. Initially, it still wouldn't connect, but after another couple of HH3 and Vision+ reboots, it connected and all was well - well, sort of.
    From that point on, the "You've lost connection to this channel (VMC011) errors have been getting worse, until yesterday, you could barely watch a programme without the damned thing dropping out.
    So, contacted Vision+ support in India - do all the usual stuff off his script, but it still hasn't resolved, so he said he'd escallate to 2nd line and they'd phone me today. No call (real surprise there).
    So, call back, again have to do all the usual - power off the VDSL modem, HH3, Vision+, back on etc. He then claimed he'd 'reset' the service from his end and 99.9% sure that would 'cure' the problem. Well, guess what - it hasn't.
    Since my call to India at 2pm, I have had disconnections at 14:26, 14:51, 15:16, 15:34 and now just at 16:06.
    No amount of 'force resync' gets it working, nor does changing channel. The only thing I can do is to wait for the stream to restart, and it usually does with lots of pixellated/garbage picture for about 10 seconds or so before it clears and is watchable again. This 'outage' lasts between 2 minutes and 8 minutes.
    Whilst this is happening, there is no continual stream of data on the LAN1 led on the VDSL modem - just the occasional short burst of data, which is coming from the Vision+ box as if I unplug it from port 1, this 'polling' stops.
    This is going to be a nightmare once the sport starts - but I'm now getting aggro from my Mrs (who is recovering from Cancer treatment so tends to watch quite a bit of 'her' telly) as she quite rightly feels we are paying for a service we are barely getting. Because of the long and unweildy cable, I'm stumping up £120 or whatever to have my master socket/VDSL modem/HH3 moved adjacent to the TV as this was initially suggested as a fix, and BT are coming out Monday (supposedly) to do this work. But I can't believe this will effect a cure as I can happily watch Netflix or iPlayer without any issues whilst the Vision+ box is dropping it's stream.
    I cannot believe this is the 'standard' of service that most subscribers are getting - and I believe this is an exchange or equipment issue, but all India seem capable of doing is reading dummy instructions from their script and 'resetting' the service (whatever that means) - it needs an engineer in the exchange with a data monitor to see what is going on.
    Problem as I see it is that on our FTTC cab, there are not many subscribers (yet - I was No. 2 and an Openreach engineer was No. 1) and from what I understand, no other Vision+ subscribers, though that will probably change when Sport is activated. So because of this I doubt that BT are getting any other complaints.
     The cynic in me thinks that the new HH4 is being released to cater for all the 'new' BT Sport subscribers as there is an issue with the HH3. Wonder if the HH3 is just not up to handling the multicast stream properly?
    Anyone got any sure fire methods of escallating this?

  • I had to erase my data to upgrade my iPhone software from an older version. I backed up first, but seem to have lost all my notes.   Does anyone know how retrieve my old notes?

    I had to erase my data to upgrade my iPhone software from an older version. I backed up first, but seem to have lost all my notes.   Does anyone know how retrieve my old notes?

    Is this the note you are referring to:
    Not sure if this can help you.
    I checked my notes. They are stored here:
    MacintosHD/Users/MYHOME/Library/Containers/com.apple.notes/Data/Library/CoreData /ExternalRecords/
    xxxxxserie.of.numbers.probably.yours.are.different/IMAPNote/_records/0/
    If I go tot this window on finder and enter Time Machine I can go back and find old notes...
    If so, am I doing this on my new hard drive on on the time machine? When I do this on the time machine, what is "my home"? Also, I am unable to find "containers".
    If I go to users/jeff/library, then I see components, compositions, contextual, etc, but not containers.
    Thanks
