Just installed OSX update and now widgets don't work

I click on my dashboard and my widget icons all show up as black squares with a @, a music note, a cloud, and a clock. I click on them and nothing happens. How can I fix that?

I found just one of my Widgets malfunctioning (BBCWeather Widget) and contacted the author (correct term?) yesterday. He replied this morning with a link to an updated version!
That is one option for non-Apple widgets, but if you have many widgets misfiring, it's a tall order. And if it's the widgets that come with Tiger, then maybe try downloading and installing the appropriate 10.4.7 Combo Update from this page.
Repair permissions before and after the update.

HT1222 I just installed this update and now I cannot access "Mail" at all. I tried reinstalling the program, but that does not work, either. Help!!!!!!

I just installed this update and now I cannot access "Mail" at all. I tried reinstalling the program, but that does not work, either. Help!

Paldeng, thanks for the suggestion. I've done all that. I can connect to the server, but apparently they are not recognizing my ID and password. I can use the server program if I don't go through Mail (using the same ID and password). My mother in another state with another provider has had the same email issue, as also my husband on his laptop who uses the same internet connection I do. His worked fine until we had it repaired at the Apple store and all the original programs reloaded (with the required updates, I assume). We can receive email in Mail, we just cannot send.
I contacted my service provider, and we went over my connections. They said it was not their problem and connected me with Apple, resulting in a charge to me because my warranty is long expired. Apple swears it is not their problem, it is the provider, so here I sit. My son was able to fix my Mom's Mail (she's 97) and got my husband's working also, until mine went out, by tweaking connection descriptions and ports remotely. The thing is, we had not messed with any of those settings, so what changed? I just did not want to bother my son again, as he has many other demands on his time.
Since this fiasco with the Mail v4.6 update, I'm wondering if something else was updated that works well with Lion and Mountain Lion, but does not work well with Snow Leopard and Leopard. I think the problem I had with the Mail update was that my Mail program had been renamed to Mail (original), and therefore was not being recognized by the update. Perhaps they had another tweak in there somewhere that is affecting outgoing mail connections?

I just installed latest updates and now itunes becomes unresponsive after 10-15 minutes

The latest OSX update (Security Update 2013-003) perhaps is breaking itunes. It becomes unresponsive after 10-15 minutes and I have to force quit it each time.

with that one, let's try the following procedure.
first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

I just installed mountain lion and now I don't see the save as option

I use Pages a lot and I was told by a guy at the Apple storeI needed to install mountain lion.

Can somebody help me?

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
3. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
4. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

Can I get rid of 36? It installed an update and now firefox does not work at all

firefox 36 is seriously broken
It updated on my computer and now does not work at all. I've tried all the suggestions and no help.....going back to IE

Hi wskossack, I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with Firefox 36. I am also sorry that we have not been able to get that working for you yet.
If what you really want is to uninstall Firefox we can do that. Of course I have to ask if you would be willing to let my help you to get the most up to date version of Firefox working. But, Firefox is all about the ability to customize. If you want we can install the last version of Firefox and you can use that until the next version comes out or while we work to get Firefox 36 working for you. I will try to cover every option in my reply.
First I will cover uninstalling Firefox. If you want to look at the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer|article click here]] this can be done in about 7 steps
I would recommend that you completely uninstall Firefox and install it again. This will most likely fix any problems you have right now. Because you are asking how to do this I am going to assume that you have not tried this.
If you have Vista or Windows 7:
1) close any open Firefox windows.
2) from the start menu click on control panel
3) click on uninstall a program
4) from this list chose Firefox
5) click on uninstall (this is located turds the top)
If the Uninstall Wizard does not run, you can start it manually by running helper.exe, which is located in one of these locations by default:
(32-bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe
(64-bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe
6) in the Firefox uninstall wizard click next and on the next page click uninstall then click finish
7) to remove other files and folders that may not be removed by the uninstall, you must manually delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations by default:
(32-bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
(64-bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
The uninstaller does not remove any user data such as history or bookmarks. To completely remove this data, you must manually delete the Firefox folder containing your user profile:
Click the Windows Start button.
Type %APPDATA% in the search field and press enter to open the hidden Roaming folder.
Open the Mozilla folder
Delete the Firefox folder.
Now I am going to go over how to get the last version of Firefox installed on your computer. If you want to look at the [[Install an older version of Firefox|article click here]] . If you decide that this is what you want to do please look at the article for some impotent security information.
Firefox 35.0.1 was the last version of Firefox and you can get it by [https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/35.0.1/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2035.0.1.exe clicking here] . The link is also in the article. If you do this you will have to disable the auto update. To do this go to options, then go to advance. Under advance there will be a sub tab. You want to go to update. Then you can select to never check or to have it tell you when there is an update.
So the only thing left is for me to help you with any problems you are having with Firefox 36. I hope you will give me a chance. In any case, if you need any more information or help with anything that I went over please let me know.

TS4463 I have just installed office 365 and now icloud will not work. It says that I need to open or install outlook. Before I installed 365, ICloud worked and I believe I had Outlook loaded yet it is not there any longer. I am lost.

I just installed office 365 Home Premium editiion and have lost my ICloud capabilities. I cannot sign in nor will Photostream work. A message comes up that says I need Outlook on my computer (I had it before the 365 was loaded). I checked on-line and it says that windows 7 does not support outlook and that I cannot download it (don't know how I got it before). I am totally confused as what to do. Really upset as I needed the new office package as Windows 7 wouldn't support the 2010 started edition any longer without my buysing that. Figured it made sense to get the newest version. Packaging says that it contains outlook. I don't know what to do at this point.

Did you remove the existing installation of Office before installing the new one?
I checked on-line and it says that windows 7 does not support outlook and that I cannot download it (don't know how I got it before).
Outlook is part of Office 365, and Windows 7 supports all versions of Outlook back to 2003.
I am totally confused as what to do.
You need to correctly remove all versions of Office on your Mac, you need to remove their settings as well. You need to save your Office Userdata from removal by moving it temporarily. I would also uninstall iCloud.
Then reinstall Office 365 followed by iCloud.

Ff 26 just installed an update and now downloads do not appear in the download window.

I've tried several solutions recommended to people who had this problem in prior versions but none of them work. It does not matter whether I display downloads in a separate window or sidebar. The downloads are actually happening in the background (when I open windows explorer the file is listed in the folder) and the download window is there, but nothing about the file or its status appears in the window.
I use Download Manager Tweak 0.9.8 open in a sidebar but the problem persists when I have downloads open in a separate window.

I was using the add-on Download Manager Tweak 0.9.8 rather than the native FF download manager and just discovered that Tweak will not work with FF 26. The Tweak download window stays blank even if files are downloading. When I downloaded and re-installed FF 25.0.1 my downloads showed up in my download window again as they always did before the upgrade to FF 26.
Can the Mozilla FF team track down what caused this problem and correct it so that Tweak will work again or at least contact the provider of Tweak to try to find a fix?

This alert is often caused by a perceived security issue due to higher than expected security settings.
Check your computer's date, time, and time zone. If they are not correct, correct them.
If the issue persists, or the changes made to Internet Options revert after restarting your PC, then the issue is likely caused by out of date or incorrectly configured security software. Follow the steps in iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve the issue.

Installed latest update and now i cannot get itunes to load

installed latest update and now i cannot get itunes to load

I was having major problems too. I ended up completely uninstalling itunes then downloaded it again from http://www.apple.com/itunes/. If you're using firefox, for some reason itunes will not download and I don't know if using googlechrome will also have problems,so just to be sure that it will work on your first try, use internet explorer when you download itunes. Hope this helps...

I have just downloaded an update and now I cannot open Pages... Any advice?

I suppose at some point or other it might dawn on you that we don't seem to know what update you are referring to.
…and you might actually tell us.
