Manage widgets won't launch so I can't delete widgets

Everything fine until I downloaded some new widgets today. Guess one is messing it up.
Is there a way to manually uninstall widgets until I find the offending widget or could it be something else?
Thanks for any help
Tel.

You can find widgets you've downloaded and installed in your home folder's Library/Widgets folder. Simply move the widgets you want to delete to the Trash, and then relogin (or restart) so that the offending widget is no longer loaded.

Standard widgets won't launch

Hi,
For some reason some of my widgets (which are enabled in the Widget Manager) won't launch. Morever, they have generic widget black icons (maybe this is okay thugh). When I click on them I get the Basso beep as if there's an error.
The widgets in question are:
Business
Flight tracker
Translation
Unit Convertor
World Clock
Any idea what could be going on? I've repaired permissions already.
Thanks,
Pat

Hi,
I've fixed it.
Sadly it takes some effort to fix.
I installed Tiger onto an external partition then dragged the faulty widgets across from the new install to the old one and they work again now.
What's interesting is that the old widgets that had not been working had a .wdgt extension whereas the new replacing ones didn't

I received an ipod touch 5th gen for Christmas. The first songs i've downloaded and synced with my touch have created ghost songs. They are only on my computer in itunes once but appear on my ipod twice, one copy that won't play. I can't delete them

The first songs i've downloaded and synced with my new touch have created ghost songs. They are only on my computer in itunes once but appear on my ipod twice, one copy that won't play. I can't delete them. I've tried unticking all the music that was on the ipod via itunes and re-syncing, which in theory should delete all music from my ipod. It does except for the 5 ghost songs.   So at present I have no music on ipod except the 5 ghost songs.   Has anyone got any ideas how I can get rid of these?
I had no problems with my ipod touch 4th, which I had for years.   Any help would be great.

Aperture 3 crashes each time I launch it. Can I delete and reinstall from App Store

Aperture 3.2.1 crashes each time I launch it. It worked fine until today. I repaired permissions and trashed the plist. Can I delete and reinstall it from App Store? If so, which is the best way to delete it without affect the library?

You can reinstall from the App Store just delete Aperture from the Application folder. Your images are in the library and will not be affected doing this (though having a good working backup is always a good idea especially at times like this).
This may correct your problem but without more information there is no way to tell.

I can't update iTunes and I can't delete the old version so that I can download the newer version. Help!

Do you get an error message when you try to uninstall iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

Firefox won't launch and I can't get into Profile manager to make a new profile.

Whenever I try to launch Firefox it doesn't open. i've had this problem before and I fixed it using the profile manager, I'm trying to do the same thing this time. However the Profile Manager won't open at all.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Extension Manager CC won't launch

Hi,
I download the Extension Manager CC to my PC desktop. When I try launching it both by either clicking on the icon for the app, or through the Adobe Exchange window in PSD CC, I get a message that says "Failed to initialize Extension Manager".
When I click on 'OK' the app closes.
I downloaded the app 3 times and still getting the same message. Before each additional download, I uninstalled the app from my PC.
Thanks for your help,
Mike

Hi mc051,
Do you use Active Directory? This is a known issue for user use Active Directory in a Domain, we will fix it in the coming update.
If NOT, please send Extension Manager log file to us, you can get logs by following steps:
Windows:
1. Generate "ExManCoreLibLog.YES" under "C:\Users\<user-name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Extension Manager CC\Log";
2. Relaunch Extension Manager CC again;
3. You can find ExManCoreLibrary.log under "C:\Users\<user-name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Extension Manager CC\Log"
Mac:
1. Generate "ExManCoreLibLog.YES" under "Users/<user-name>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CC/Log"
2. Relaunch Extension Manager CC again;
3. You can find ExManCoreLibrary.log under "Users/<user-name>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CC/Log"
Thanks

Firefox won't start; no error message; profile manager also won't start. What can I do?

Suddenly, firefox won't start. I get no error message--it just won't open. System restore to a month before the problem did not help.
From the suggestions on this page: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20will%20not%20start... I did not recently install add-ons or clean the registry, so I think it may be a profile problem. But profile manager will not open--only a tiny window with a white rectangle and no text.
I would like to not lose all my bookmarks. And I would like to continue using Firefox.
What can I do?

dmcritchie, thank you for your reply!
Before I received your response, I tried something that seems to have worked. I used Chrome to go to the Firefox website and downloaded Firefox (without uninstalling it first) and went through the installation process again. For some reason, this worked, even though I already had the latest version of Firefox, and I can now open Firefox successfully.
If it stops working again, I will try your suggestion. In the meantime, thank you much!

Management Console won't launch

Using ESM 3.5 on Windows server 2003 standard. Database is on another
server on the lan.
When I launch the managment console I get:
"The Logon Message Management Console could not log you on. Make sure
your username and configuration are correct, then type your password
again"
The problem is that I've not typed my username or password, this just
comes up immediately!
I previously had configured and tested an Active Directory ldap
connection. I have yet to see the managment console. Is there some way
to clear the config and start over?

ESM is a fresh install. The server is in production, but ESM is not in
production. ESM Management Console appeared to install correctly to the
end. Upon execution it presented me with a dialog to setup connection to
a directory. I set up a connection to our active directory and tested
using the "test" button and the test passed. I launch the Management
Console again and got the message above. I restarted the server and
attempted to launch Management Console again, and still received the
message above.
I'm wondering if there is a registry entry, text file, or SQL database
record that holds the ldap and authentication configuration or userid
password cache. And, if so, could that information be clear so as to re-
enter the configuration thru the GUI.
I have no idea what userid and password Management Console is attempting
to use, as I've not been prompted to login at any time, other than the
userid and password I specified when setting up the ldap connection to
Active Directory on the first launch of Management Console.
What did you reinstall? All of ESM or just the Management Console?
thanks.
You can run the managementserverinstaller.exe from c:\program files\novell\esm single server\authenticationserver\bin. This will clear the databases and allow you to re-enter everything in the Management Server's configuration. After running the managementserverinstaller.exe double click your esm managment console icon on the desktop and it should allow you to redo the configuration. What version are you using?

Widgets Won't Launch

When I open Dashboard and click on a widget the widget flickers on my desktop for a fraction of a second but won't stay there. If I click on manage my widgets the panel flickers briefly but won't stay either. I tried reinstalling dashboard using Pacifist but the problem remains.
Anyone have any ideas about what the problem could be?

Well, I ran Disk Utility and it found no problems.
I did run across a handy little app that I think will work well for me...it's called Amnesty Singles http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22226/amnesty-singles and it allows one to easily convert widgets into standalone applications, which I think makes a lot of sense. I tried it and like it, so I purchased it. I won't have to use widgets directly ever again.

A new top level site was created successfully but won't launch. What can be the cause for this?

A site collection was created with the URL intranet.contoso and it was added to the DNS as intranet.contoso. The top-level site was created successfully after that with the URL being
http://intranet.contoso/main but it is not launching and the following is the error message -
This page can't be displayed.
This will be a production environment so disabling the security loopback will not be an option. Any suggestions?
Many Thanks,

I can connect only to the SharePoint Central Administrator from the client computer but not the top level site.
The error i'm getting is This page can't be displayed.
Make sure the web address http://contonsoportalis correct
Look for the page with your search engine
Refresh in a few minutes
Fix connection problems - When clicked the following shows up "Make sure the computer or device is turned on and connected to the network" Windows can't find contosoportal. If the computer or device you are trying to reach is nearby,
make sure it is turned on and connected to the network. Otherwise contact your network administrator for assistance.
The DSN already had a host created for an intranet that is running SharePoint 2010 called intranet so I created a new host (A and AAA) named it Portal insert the ip address of the new sharepoint 2013 server but it still didn't work.
This is the configuration shown in the DNS
Host A Tab -
Host (uses parent domain if left blank)
Portal.contoso.local
IP address: 192. X.X.X for the SharePoint Server
( Should I create a CNAME instead of a new host for the portal? )
I added the host names in the register but it still does not work....
It's a virtual environment running on top of hyper V - One server for SharePoint another for SQL and both joined to the DC.

My App Store won't launch. How can I get this fixed?

Every time I try to launch the App Store on my iPhone 5s, it launches and quickly closes. I've reset, synced with iTunes, and turned the phone on and off. Nothing works.

Hi, Songman23.
There are a couple of things you can try. The first would be to reset all settings. Go toSettings > General > Reset > Reset all settings.
If the issue persists, try signing out of all services that require signing into your Apple ID and then signing back in.

ITunes won't launch, is running according to Task Manager, iTunes won't launch, is running according to Task Manager

I closed iTunes yesterday. SInce then, I have not been able to open it back up.
Task Manager says it's running, and opening it prompts a "allow permissions" pop-up. Then nothing happens.
I've heard people suggest I end a "daemon" process, but it's not running. I have also uninstalled itunes and re-installed. Nothing.
Any suggestions?

Hi again,
Helps if I give the correct link ! <br/>The press shift button appears to still work, but the option to start in safe mode from the programs listing of a standard install I do not think exists anymore.
Safe mode will start from a command line, (or a shortcut) and in some circumstances you may need to enter the full path name on a command or shortcut detailed instructions are at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
Remember (at least at this stage) do not make changes when you get the options list, just click on the continue button.
If you think that RealPlayer is causing the problem you could uninstall that for now.
Firefox recent versions are 3.6 4.0 (and 5.0 in beta). There is some debate as to whether creating new profiles or re-installing Firefox is the simplest method of troubleshooting and solving some of these problems, personally I use multiple profiles and multiple versions of Firefox, and tend to forget the required procedures are less than straightforward. For now at least try [[safe mode]] again.

Opening Add on manager causes FF to become unresponsive, how can I delete add ons now?

On the advice of addon Fox installer I added a few extensions. FF became really slow and I tried to uninstall but every time I tried to open Add-0n manager from tools, FF became unresponsive. So now I can't access my extensions to uninstall. Should I uninstall FF completely and if so how do you do this? Clearly just deleting the application and reinstalling doesn't do it. Thanks!
