Itunes Dashboard/widget Not working
I have searched and found a number of people stating the same problem but no solution has been offered or confirmed.
The Itunes widget stopped working it will no long display the current song playing and does not allow you to control the songs playing. If you click on the controls a window will come up saying the widget crash and would you like to re-start even though it is still running. This problem is not limited to apples own itunes widget other itunes widgets are doing the same thing.
I can only conclude this has something to do with itunes 7.1.1 or early because it use to work and not it does not. The only Itunes widget that still works is AlbumArt widget.
This is what mine looks like when I don't get any results:

Is your's like this, or is it different?

Dashboard widgets not working. I trash the dashboard .plist and redo all widgets then after a restart. Widget not working again.
Yes hello,
My widgets are not working as well, i looked on forms and it seams that the 10.5 update fix there problems. I also did an archive and install from 10.4... One of the major reasons i purchased the upgrade was to use widgets to clip parts of safari, i'am totaly bummed because all forums i find end with the question un answered. i'am a little bummed becuase there are a couple of things that worked with 10.4 that are not working in 10.5 (like some meg moives not playing.
i do not wish to create a new account because i do not want to reinstall all my software, photoshop, final cut, dvd studio pro.. etc.
i hope to find the fix some how.
I have opened up the console application and when i select widgets load or delete them i see no activity in the console. I'am not familiar with the console app. or command lines.
is there any more info on this matter? is there any support from apple?
Thankyou -
Dashboard Widgets not working...
I noticed last night that my Dashboard Widgets not longer were functioning. After searching here, I tried doing "~./Library/Prefrences/com.apple.dashboard" refresh and all, but no joy. I tried verifying and repairing permissions, but also no joy. I also can't enable iCloud Calendar and Reminder setting in System and wonder if all these problems are interconnected....
Thanks, That got me to thinking and discovered all I had to do was go to System --> Mission Control, turn Dasboard off and the re-enable it. It worked right away. As a side bonus, discovered "Overlay" mode and assigned (unused) F5 for that. Pretty cool!
Stil no joy on being able to enable Calendar and Reminders in Internet Accounts either. Although I did notice that I have two instances of the same email accounts setup in email. Trying to delete one sends me to internet accounts, where there is only one instance. If I delete that one and go back to Email Prefences Accounts and try to delete the remaining, it errors out saying no UID for it. I think that "may" be related to the iCloud problems as the iCloud username is also that email address. Not sure how to get rid of it. I setup another Mac user login to test and everything works fine. I just want to get everything working for the other Mac user login account as it is highly configured.
Hope that all made sense.
Thanks! -

HI :
Can anybody tell me if you can select a playlist from the itunes Dashboard Widget, Mine doesn't seem to work, it plays songs, and can ship tracks fine, but I'm unable to pick a playlist.
Also if my itunes is closed the widget will spin back and forth like is should, when the info button is pressed but when Itunes is open, and I click the info button on the widget, it doesn't flip, it just shows the playlist page, there is no animation.
do I have a problem with my widget or is it buggy?
Cheers
MikeThe iTunes dashboard widget has never worked correctly. It has had reproduceable crashes since 10.4.0's release, and in Leopard really the only thing it can do reliably is crash.
No, you can't select playlists from the playlist pulldown - it doesn't even respond to clicks, except when it decides that iTunes is not open (when it is, of course), in all irony.
With one major and 17 minor updates gone, it just seems that this widget isn't much of a priority . I will be reporting the crash for the 26th time (give or take) when 10.5.7 ships. -
Having iTunes dashboard widget problems
I have had problems with my iTunes dashboard widget since I upgraded to Leopard from Tiger. The shuffle function does not work, and it doesn't read any of my playlists either. I have done an archive and restore and an erase and restore with no change. I have called Apple to see if they can help, but they told me to go to the nearest apple store or have it sent in for repair. I don't know what else to try... any help would be greatly appreciated.
If it's any consolation I have exactly the same problem. Accept the only things that work for me are the volume change and skip-track. Right royal pain in the arse. I had the problem in both 10.5.1 and 10.5.2. I'm running a Santa Rosa Macbook Pro 2.4 2GB with 10.5.2 installed.

Safari, dashboard & help not working after 10.4.9
I have loved my iBook since day 1, until 10.4.9. This is my first Apple computer and I was very close to being a convert. I updated through sys prefs to 10.4.9 and now: Safari opens for a split second then closes with kernel errors (or I least I assume from the crash log), no more widgets and dashboard does not work and help files do not work. What gives? I tried downloading the combo update but it was a .exe file. Forgive my lack of tech know how, I know some, enough to get me in trouble evidently. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried booting into safe mode, Safari does the same thing, I have tried repairing permissions in safe mode and in regular mode as admin, nada. HELP!
I originally updated through sys pref and just let it go. One day later things stopped working. Repairing permissions etc did nothing. Applied the combo update, verified the disk before hand, repaired permissions after the update and reboot, now things are back to normal as far as I can tell, better even in some areas. Hope this can help others with similar problems.

My iTunes password does not work on my iPhone...
My iTunes password does not work on my iPhone, but it does on my MacBook. Why? This is really annoying. How can I solve my problem? I don't even know how to contact Apple.

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

iTunes match is not working on my iPhone 4S; it works awesome across all of my Macs and other iOS devices (iPad 2, iPod Touch 4g x 2, and my wife's iPhone 4). Any suggestions? Thanks!
It is not possible to "toggle back and forth" at will. If you associate a device with an Apple ID and you have iTunes Match enabled you must wait 90 days before you can associate it with another Apple ID. See this Apple KB article for more information: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

Ever since I updated to ios 6 on my iPhone 4S, iTunes Match has not worked.
I have been through the process of deleting my iTunes control files, and that worked temporarily, but now I cannot listen to music through the service.
It shows my artists and albums, then takes forever to access the songs (often more than 10 minutes - and yes, that's using WiFi), more often than not crashing before it gets to that point, then repeatedly crashing when I try to open the Music App, so I can't even access things I've downloaded.
Has anyone else found a solution?
Apple, please listen up - I am paying you for the iTunes Match service that is utterly useless. Fix it please.After some troubleshooting, I decided to order a new battery. I replaced the battery and was then able to get it to restore, however--after I restore it and it comes time to restart the phone, it gets stuck and doesn't turn on.
Sorry, your repair ruined the iPhone.
She does not have apple care and even though she loved this device, she isn't going to buy another iPhone because of all the problems shes had with this one (it's just over a year old).
After you ruined the iPhone with DIY, Apple won't touch it anymore. You should have asked before all these had happened.
I'm an android user myself and I love rooting/flashing new ROMS, so if jailbreaking her phone or doing some kind of super-restore with 3rd party programs might help, I'm all for it-
Yeah, all Android user can think of is Jailbreaking, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743 -
iTunes RADIO is not working.
“iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your internet connection is active and try again.” Try as I may, as many as ten attempts, trying to connect after restart, after shutdown, nothing works. Just so …
iTunes STORE not “connectable” with my otherwise perfectly-working internet connection, viable, up and running for all other uses.
Simply put, firstly, I can't connect to the internet when I click on Radio. People are quite suspicious that this is Apple incompetence or your company's famous arrogance for this commonly-suffered problem that you won't or “can’t” fix.
Read the many web comments and you won’t be pleased with yourselves: the suspicion is that if you ruin internet radio on iTunes, Apple will somehow make more money on music downloads, etc. Bull.
Also, thirdly, my old playlist of 20 or so internet radio stations in the Ambient category STILL PLAYS !
Then fourth, I installed the latest available version of QuickTime Player 7.app Version 7.6.6 but it didn’t solve the problem either. I had QuickTime Player.app Version 10.2, but substituted what Apple website said was the latest, LOWER NUMBERED QuickTime Player version of 7.6.6
Fifth, I can't connect to iTunes store no matter what I do or what user group's advice I try. So I can’t buy or download anything from iTunes. Bad for business.
Sixth, I updated to the latest version of iTunes but this weird problem remains. All suggested Apple fixes or user group fixes are useless. Where is Apple’s famous technical competency, vaunted customer support?, and user-friendly product reputation? Get it back, please.
Solve this problem of yours ASAP for us, your numerous disgruntled, dissatisfied customers of iTunes. You can do better, should, and really –in all fairness- must.

NOTE: no password for iTunes exists in my Keychain. Is this a problem?
Apple ACCOUNT ID, and iTunes ID password, works but not to access iTunes with my healthy internet connection.

My itunes radio is not working on my microsoft computer. I downloaded the new itunes but it says there is an error in my itunes store. What do i do to fix the problem?
Try starting Aperture with the command and option keys held down. You'll get 3 options.
Try each, starting at the top, in order, checking after each to see if it fixes the issue. -
Google Voice Widget Not Working in Safari 5.1 which is Adobe flash wmode transparent based
Google Voice Widget Not Working in Safari 5.1 which is Adobe flash with wmode transparent set. For that matter all flash text fields in Safari 5.1 are not working accross the web when wmode is set to transparent. This is a Safari bug! Other browsers work fine.
Well after much research Adobe flash text field with wmode transparent set is not working in Safari 5.1 when any flash object has the wmode set to "transparent", or "opaque". The problem is many site must layer flash objects with html so the wmode transparent must be used.
Affecting sites like BEST BUY, WALMART, CVS, STAPLES, Chechout their flash based weekly ads and find one that you need to update the quantity in the flash pop-up and the text field with keyboard strokes will not work. Flash text fields were all working fine until several month ago when Safari rolled out 5.1 working for Google Voice Flash based widget which uses the wmode transparent. HELP!

If not working for you, try clearing your cache to remove any old, non working versions.
Test on some other machine besides yours.
Code looks fine and seems to work.
