Itunes yahoo widget conflict

i upgraded to itunes 7.4 and have been having problems with it freezing after a couple of seconds. i have read other posts and deleted preference files and SC info file, which seemed to work. however on opening yahoo widgets itunes freezes again. i do have the bbc iplayer widget installed. could this be the problem? Cheers

Ok its not yahoo widgets. Deleting the preference files solves the problem, but i have to do this every time i start my computer!

  • Yahoo Widgets Not Functioning

    Several months ago Yahoo Widgets malfunctioned on my Macbook Pro. When I activate it, the "gears" icon in the Desktop menu bar appears for a brief moment or two, then disappears. The app does not appear to be running as no widgets are visible nor does the widget dock open. Clicking directly on a widget does nothing. I've tried to get Yahoo to look into this but their advice is to dump the pref files. Duh. I tried that and nothing changed. I've also deleted and re-installed both the app and the most recent Java update with no result. Could this be a result of a recent java upgrade? It appears as though Mac's widget engine has also had some recent failure– could the two be caused by the same problem? Advice, please!

    apparently, they have added encryption to all their services, including messenger. I have also heard on another forum that they are no longer updating the program for macs and are recommending people use ichat....however, the older ichats don't support yahoo, only the newer  OS does. Adium and Trillium also fail to log into yahoo chat as well.

  • Has anyone yet found a workable replacement for the Yahoo Widgets for iCal?

    I was extremely happy using Konfabulator/Yahoo Widgets iCal Events widget, leaving it on my desktop so I could see my daily calendar and To-Do's without visiting any apps. But since Leopard, it doesn't work, and I've yet to find a workable alternative. Has anyone found an adequate replacement?
    I don't like the Apple Dashboard widget, as I want it permanently affixed to the Desktop, underneath all other windows. The YW solution was perfect, and it's bizarre that no-one else seems to have replicated it - or even Apple themselves?

    Here is how to put Mac widgets on your desktop: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6292560&#6292560
    And here is a iCal widget: http://benkazez.com/icalevents.php
    It doesn't put your to-do list on there, so there is this widget: http://www.bluehenley.com/products/dobedo/
    Hope this is more of what you wanted.

  • Table component crashes Yahoo Widget Engine

    Experts,
    I've been diving into widgets recently, seem to have found a bug and was wondering if anyone else has encountered it or has found a solution. The steps to reproduce the error is as following:
    - Generate a kitchen sink widget from eclipse.
    - Run it.
    - Open the Table component example in the menu, maybe even click a row.
    - Right click the widget and close it.
    - A crash report of yahoo widgets pops up.
    This sometimes occures when using the sort button of the table and only occures when tables are used. I have tested this on an updated unclean and clean xp install of a Dell Latitude D830 and HP dv9064 pavilion. The main similarity is that both use an nVidia card.
    The machines are using Java 1.6.0_13, Yahoo widget engine 4.5.2, eclipse 3.4.2, XP SP3 Pro and Mediacenter edition.
    I'm assuming the problem lies with the code of Yahoo (widget framework) or Cairographics (gui framework) but was wondering nontheless whether I'm the only case of this issue.

    Hi!
    I think that problem exist because MS SQL 2008 SP2 is used with MS DMP 2010.
    But I can't create backup DPM databases - solutions described in article submited by you doesn't work.
    c:\Program Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\bin>DpmBackup.exe -db -instanceName MSSQLSERVER -certificates
    DpmBackup 1.0 - Data Protection Manager backup command-line tool
    Copyright (c) 2010 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
    Error: Failed to connect to server BRONZYT\mssqlserver.
    DpmBackup encountered an internal error. Check the Application Event Log for the
    cause of the failure. Fix the cause and retry the operation. For additional tro
    ubleshooting information, see the DPM Troubleshooting Guide.
    Can I do DPM database backup in another way e.g. SQL Management Console before reinstalling MS SQL 2008 and DPM 2010?
    I can't lose my DPM server data.

  • Type Error: Yahoo.widget.overlay is not a constructor. Only get error in Firefox, and started this morning.

    There was an automatic Windows update this morning. Since then, I get the error message "TypeError: Yahoo.widget.overlay is not a constructor" when I open up certain websites, such as ancestry.com. Other sites, such as Facebook, don't work at all. Everything appears scrambled when I open the website. Other sites appear to not be affected, although I haven't done more than open them up. These errors are only occurring with Firefox, and not with IE. IE still works just fine.

    Sounds like a problem with an Yahoo extension (toolbar)
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Yahoo Widgets Won't Run

    Hello, I posted this in another group and have had no responses so I thought I'd try here.
    I downloaded the Yahoo Engine and several Yahoo widgets onto my MacBook but they won't run. The Engine installs but none of the widgets appear.
    I downloaded the same Engine and widgets on my Mac Pro and they run just fine.
    Does anyone know why my MacBook would not run them while my Mac Pro does?
    Thanks,
    Lisa

    Answered in another forum. Thanks.

  • Installed Leopard - Yahoo Widgets no longer work

    After not being able to launch widgets once Leopard was installed, I uninstalled the Widget engine and widgets. Went to Yahoo site to download latest engine. Download shows as "happening". As soon as it's at 100%, it "disappears" (no desktop icon installer). What am I doing wrong?

    Yahoo Widgets is not compatible with Leopard. The program runs, but none of the widgets will open.
    Regarding your download, Apple changed the default location from the Desktop to the Downloads folder. You can change the preferences in Safari back to the Desktop. Once a download is complete, the Downloads folder in the Dock should change to show the file that was just downloaded. When you click on it, it opens the stack so you can access the newly downloaded file.

  • Itunes dashboard widget

    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
    Mike

    The 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.

  • My Yahoo widget for dashboard

    The "My Yahoo" widget on my dashboard has stopped working. In the purple bar that used to show "my latest headlines" it now just stays on "now loading". Also, my new mail is not indicated. The "search" to yahoo works. Any advise? I did some searching and discovered the Yahoo Widget Engine, but understand that this runs on Konfabulator and not on Dashboard. I removed the My Yahoo widget/preferemces and downloaded it again from:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/news/myyahoo.html
    It still does no work. Any information would be appreciated.

    Can you download the widget directly from the developer's website?

  • Itunes Podcast Widget- not finding my podcast

    I am trying to setup a Itunes Podcast Widget to add to my Wordpress site.
    When I get to the step of add/edit podcasts and the popup window appears, the only choices that show say 'null' and the search doesn't find my podcast.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks for your help!
    Jeremy

    I'm afraid I can't advise on this. You may do better to ask in the iTunes forum and I'll ask the Hosts to move this thread there.

  • ITunes Web Widget

    Can anyone tell me where I can find the iTunes Web Widget? From memory, Apple released it for download after iWeb 08 was released. The Widget showed what songs had been recently played in iTunes. I've been all over Apple.com and I can't find it, I'm certain it existed.
