"Manage Widget" Icon gone

Hello,
I accidently removed the "manage" widget icon from my dock. Not the "dashboard" icon which displays which widgets you currently have active but this one (just the round icon, not the background:
It came loaded on the dock when i got the laptop and I actually thought it couldn't be removed. Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice or answers

That's not a good sign, I get...
I guess you could Try making a new Folder there called Resources & putting that file in there.
But I'm worried how this could go missing...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Reboot & see if it's there now.

Dashhboard manage widgets gone

my widgets manager in dashboard is gone, and i cant add widgets by clicking them
does someone has the widget manager widget... u can find it in /library/widgets/
PS: im running leopard

I'm slow this morning, sorry.
From your users account...
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Scroll down to where you see your widgets .plist files. Drag those to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. See if that unlocks your Manage Widgets window.
Also, Repair Disk Permissions. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.
If that doesn't help, select the Manage Widgets window then press Command + R.

How to manage widgets in Mountain Lion?

I am running OS X 10.8.2, and in dashboard, when one clicks on the Plus sign, there is no manage widgets button, only a more widgets button. I wish to delete downloaded widgets. Have tried library widgets file, but downloaded files do not appear. Any help please?

When you finish downloading a .wdgt file, it appears in your downloads(by default, you can change the folder). If you open this file, it gives a dialog: "Install (the widget) ?". If you click "install" or whatever the install confirm button is (I don't remember), it will take you to dashboard and opens the widget.
If you want to delete one, click the "+" and then the "-" (minus sign). The widget icons will vibrate like the icons on launchpad, if you click the "x" it will ask for confirmation to delete the widget.

How I manage Widgets in Lion ?

I want to delete a Widget.

Hi,
Click on the Dashboard Icon - near the left side of the Dock. Click the Plus sign, the click manage Widgets. Add or subtract what you will.
That's the way it works for me.
Cheers,

After upgrading to iTunes Match Genius Icon Gone on iPhone

After upgrading to iTunes Match Genius Icon Gone on iPhone
So I upgrade and uploaded/matched all my songs to iTunes Match. Everything seems to be fine, except I noticed I don't have the genius functionality on my iPhone. Basically the little atom icon is missing. Does anyone have a solution for this problem.
Thanks
Chike

This is what works for me.
I do this once: I keep quite a bit of music loaded on my iPhone using the normal sync process with my Mac (via USB cable) prior to turning on iTunes Match (...let's me listen to at least some music even when disconnected from the net, like when on a plane). And then I turn iTunes Match back on (and leave it turned on) and it gives me access to the rest of my music library from iCloud when I have network access (3G or Wifi) for normal listening using my whole library over Match.
I start playing a song on my iPhone (one that doesn't have the iCloud icon)
I click the home button (physical button on iPhone that closes the Music app)
I then double click the home button (opens the task manager at the bottom)
Quit Music (press/hold on the Music icon in the tray until the little red circle with an x appears to quit the app)
Then restart Music (tap the Music icon on my iPhone home screeen)
When the Music app restarts, it opens to the last song playing. if it was one of the songs downloded to my iPhone, it has the litlle atomic symbol again and I can create a genius playlist from it.
FYI: you can enable/disable iTunes Match on the iPhone without affecting songs loaded on your iPhone (even though it says it'll replace your iPhone library, the songs are still there if you enable/disable again). Settings>>>Music>>>iTunes Match on/off.

Why is my iTunes icon gone from my phone?

I have a Macbook pro and I've lost my ical and widget icons. It says it's in the trash but I can't find it.

Hey Shady K,
It sounds like you've removed the iCal and Widget icons from your dock and want to get the back there for easy access. The following document goes over dock basics and there's a section (which I copied below) that goes over how to get those icons back on to the dock. Essentially you'll just find the application's icon in your applications folder and drag it back.
Mac Basics: The Dock
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2474
Adding and removing Dock items
If you want to add an application to the Dock, click the Launchpad icon in the Dock and drag the application icon to the Dock; the icons in the Dock will move aside to make room for the new one. If you want to add a file or folder to the Dock, just drag its icon from any Finder window (or the desktop) and drop it on the Dock. The resulting icon that appears in the Dock is actually an alias of the original item (it's kind of a pointer to your original item). If you drag an application or file onto the Dock, you'll be able to open it anytime by simply clicking its docked icon. If you drag a folder onto the Dock, a Finder window of the folder's contents will display when you click the folder icon in the Dock.
To remove an item from the Dock, drag its icon an inch or more off the Dock and wait a couple seconds, then release; the icon will disappear in a poof of smoke. There are some icons that you can't remove from the Dock, such as the Trash and the Finder.
Don't worry, you aren't permanently removing the item from your computer; you simply got rid of its Dock icon. If you want that item back in the Dock, locate the application, file, or folder in the Finder (or with Spotlight), and drag it back into the Dock.
Hope that helps,
David

Manage Widgets dashboard widget won't close

Hi
I put the manage widgets widget in dashboard up so I could delete a widget and it didn't work. None of the widgets showed up in the list and nothing loaded. I can't close it now. Nothing happens if I click on the x in the corner or if I hold option and click it. How can I close the widget?

Widget icon on dashboard

My widget icon disappeared from my dashboard. Please, how can I get it back?

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
If a widget is not showing up in dashboard click on the plus sign in the bottom left of the dashboard. This shows you the widget browser. You can locate the desired widget and click on it to add it again. If you don't see the widget you want you can search for it and download it http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/(assuming it is not one of the ones that is built into the computer).
Hope that helps.

Norton Manage Logins Icon is missing with Firefox 4.0. My auto logins no longer work

Norton has a manage logins icon that has disappeared from my toolbar when I updated to Firefox 4.0. Additionally, the Norton auto login function has stopped working, even though it appears fine when I look at the function in Norton.

Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have released an update for Norton 360 to make it compatible with Firefox 4, for details see http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about other Norton products, but if you run Norton LiveUpdate it should inform you if there are updates available. If no updates are available, you can downgrade to Firefox 3.6 if you want to use the Norton add-ons.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Widget Icon missing fro Dock after upgrade to 10.6

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I noticed my Widget icon went missing from the dock.
I have also noticed that I cannot put additional application icons in the dock. They will stay there for a few seconds and then disappear. Anybody have any suggestions on what to do ??

This happened to me as well ... eventually. It was working for some time then poof! No matter how many re-installs from different download locations the dock still won't show up. The interesting thing is that after locating where the widgets itself were they would run after all ... just that the dock which I am so used to isn't there anymore. Perhaps thats a good thing and does make the desktop feel like Vista/Windows7 but I would rather have the option to turn the dock on/off at my convenience and keep everything in line.

Manage Widgets feature inoperable in Snow Leopard

Unlike many others, my existing widgets seem to work normally. Unfortunately, when I click on "Manage Widgets", nothing happens. It is inoperable. Any thoughts?

KT has already noted the same thing; I had to try it out before I posted.
I'm not sure what is wrong. Sometimes, a plist could be corrupted. Look in your username/Library/Preferences folder for a file called com.apple.dashboard.plist. Move it to your desktop and try managing your widgets. If it doesn't work, try restarting and then try again. If it still doesn't work, you can move it back into the preferences folder and replace the one that is there.
The system will recreate the plist, but you'll probably lose any customizations you've made to some of the widgets and which ones are showing. I removed mine and restarted to see what would happen. It didn't reset anything until I restarted. The Dashboard reverted to the default, but all installed widgets were still there.

HT1386 why won't my ipad charge from my computer - my iphone does! and where has my facetime and contacts icons gone?

Why won't my ipad charge from my computer when my iphone does? also where have my facetime and contacts icons gone?

A computer USB port does not provide enough power to charge and run the iPad at the same time but it will charge it if the iPad is turned off. It will take about four times as long to charge than with the iPad charger.
The Contacts icon may be inside a folder, such as Utilities.
There is no Facetime icon. Start a Facetime link from a contact.

Missing "Manage Connections" icon

Hi,
For some reason the "Manage Connections" icon is missing from my BB menu. I did a "Show All", but it still isn't showing anywhere. The only way for me to get into this app is to assign the right side button to the "Manage Connections" app via the "Screen/Keyboard" options item.
Any idea how to get this icon back on my menu?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1. Look in EACH folder on your device... Applications, Instant Messengers, Downloads, etc.
If you still don't see it, look at Options > Advanced > Applications. Do you see it listed there?
2. It can be theme dependent. What theme are you running? Try changing themes (options > Themes) and see if you see the icon.
