My iweb widgets come up as blank boxes. How can i fix this?

Every time I insert a iWeb 09 widget on to a page, they come up as blank boxes with nothing to click or drag. Can somebody tell me a way to fix this?

I'm having the same problem as Dr. Macbook, and also it is with any and all widgets, not just HTML snippets.  The black translucent code entry box just does not appear, and the widget box is completely blank and transparent. Also, my navigation bar has been replaced by a bullet point in iWeb.  However, when I publish my site, it works just fine -- the widgets have their content and are interactive, and the navigation bar is like it should be.
I have spent all day trying to look for a solution to this problem.  Old Toad, stating the obvious doesn't help.  We know how it is supposed to work, and it's not working.  I have 10.6.8, iWeb 3.0.3, and just downloaded an iWeb update tonight.  Still not working.  I have tried repairing disk permissions and rebooting several times.  I tried removing the following files in various subsets and permutations as suggested by iwebfaq.org and http://www.iwebformusicians.com/WebMusic/iWebTips.html
/Users/shortname/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb/
/Users/shortname/Library/Caches/iWeb/
/Users/shortname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iweb.plist
/Users/shortname/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.iWeb.147DCDEF-FC05-5F87-B9 A7-748EE9E6B639.plist
/Library/Receipts/iWeb--.pkg
I even deleted all those files, in addition to /Users/shortname/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites2, and then reinstalled iWeb from the DVD, without uninstalling first. This approach did not work. 
I tried backing up and deleting my domain.sites2 file from its "native location" and creating a new website -- still, the navigation bar is replaced by a bullet point, and widgets are blank with no black code box available.
I tried logging in as another user and under the other account, iWeb functioned properly.  It even worked when I placed my domain.sites2 file in its "native location" in this other account (had to first change the permissions on the backup file before dropping it in here). However, it failed to publish from the other account -- the Test Connection seemed to succeed, but actually publishing the content failed because of an FTP error.
I tried logging in as myself again and followed this tip from iwebfaq section 2.5 in the troubleshooting page. I downloaded a "fresh working" domain.sites2 file and opened it from the downloads folder using "open with" and it rendered properly with a normal navigation bar and functioning widgets.  But then I tried to put it in its native location where iWeb saves files, /Users/shortname/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ and then opened iWeb, and it had the same old problems.
As the situation stands now, I can open my domain.sites2 "iWeb project file" in another user account, or from another folder in my own account, and it will render just fine. If I open it from another folder in my own account, it seems to be able to communicate with the FTP server and publish just fine, too! If I put my own website, or another downloaded domain.sites2 file, or create a new one in iWeb's native location, it has these problems.
How do we clean up this mess?  It seems to be missing some resource when I launch iWeb in the normal way, but works fine if I choose a domain.sites2 file in Finder and "open with" iWeb that way.  In fact, I just discovered that it can be in its native location and still work normally if I use the "open with" method.  Here is a very small demonstration of the problem.
The problematic iWeb (opened the default way by clicking the Application icon which opens the domain.sites2 project from its native location)
A normally functioning iWeb (picked domain.sites2 in Finder from any location and opened in iWeb, or opened in its native location in another user account)

    Are you running the 9.0.1 Update of the program and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Is your video card/graphics card driver up to date according to the manufacturer of the card?
    Is your computer optimized, including maintenance of pile ups of preview files, conformed audio files, and conformed video files?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
    What are your project settings and what are the properties of your source media? When you say that "used to be able to export...." is that on the same computer, same brand/model/settings for the camera recording the video now in use, same Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
    Where player are you using for the playback of these exports?
    Please give us more details on the size of the projects (then and now) as well as details of the customized export settings in your Share/Computer/ route. Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 is only a 32 bit application running in 32 bit or 64 bit system. Not sure if computer resources might be taxed more so now than before.
    More later.

  • Suddenly my past emails won't load. Missing body and headers, just blank. How can I fix this?

    I have email listings, and even double clicking then that opens a new tab is blank. It is affecting emails from April 19 and earlier to all I have in listing back to 2009. I cannot access any of the actual email bodies and headers also do not load. I tried to compact folders. Nothing. Recent emails arriving since April 19, 2015 are coming in fine and I can load them but none of the previous ones. Please help. I am missing valuable information not having these emails open able.

    <blockquote>

    Possibly there's some sort of corruption. You can try to rebuild the index file of the troubled folder.
    Right-click the folder - Properties - Repair Folder
    In best case this could restore everything to normal. In worst case this could erase messages back to 2009, depending on the state of corruption.
    So before doing anything make sure to have a backup of your profile folder.

    <blockquote>
    I have had 2 critical crashes or corrupt files and seriously concerned after so many years of Thunderbird being so stable.
    </blockquote>
    Then you hopefully learned from that and you did create backups on a regular basis.
    <blockquote>
    I want to know what happened ...
    </blockquote>
    The most common reason for corruption is anti-virus software writing to Thunderbird files when it shouldn't.
    <blockquote>
    ... and also if there is any way to recover.

    There is no guarantee. But if you have a backup then there is no problem.

  • The icons for links are gone. In their place are hyphentated boxes. After I click on the link once the real icon comes back. But litterally EVERY link icon is now a hyphenated box till I click once. How can I fix this?

    The icons for links are gone. In their place are hyphenated boxes. After I click on an existing link once the real icon comes back. For Example: I have several bookmark links for Amazon. Those links now have hyphenated boxes as their icons not the Amazon icon. Once I click on an existing link the Amazon icon is activated and replaces the hyphenated boxes. Literally EVERY bookmark / link icon is now a hyphenated box till I click once. How can I fix this? I'm running Firefox 8.0 on windows XP. This problem started this week. Before and After upgrading to firefox 8.0 from 7.xxxx. See screen shot example.jpg i've attached below. Double click to enlarge it for better viewing. Any input welcomed. Not a major problem but I would like to have the icons back.
    Thanks

    Thanks. That solved it. I had my doubts since I wasn't concerned about my lost bookmarks. I was concerned about the broken functionality. In any event, restoring from a backup solved both the functionality and the lost bookmarks. I appreciate the response!

    You may have  moved or removed content on your page or  its possible you  used the"Adjust Image" and over sharpeed one or more images.
    I assume  you mean it does not show up of new Chapter pages... have you checked the  template?
    Where you see the  ?    you  need to either reduce teh  box outline size - or drop anther  copy of the original image onto  it, it may  fill the  ? box or sit on top.... delete the ? box.
    If its Chapter page only related, its  better doing this in the template.
    Is you image .jpg or .png?

    Try using a LensCleaner Disk first off. If that won't even run try a
    SMC RESET
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
    Then use the Lens Cleaner again. Make sure your disks are immaculately clean.

  • Error message (-51) keeps coming up when I try to send music from iTunes to my iPhone and then the music won't come over.  How can I fix this message?

    Error message (-51) keeps coming up when I try to send music from iTunes to my iPhone and then the music won't come over.  How can I fix this message?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • HT1296 I have a problem synching calendar data between my iPhone 3GS iOS 5.1 & Outlook 2007 on MS7.  The basic calendar is OK but the birthdays (little box icon) are a day early & cannot be changed to the correct date. How can I fix this?

    I have a problem synching calendar data between my iPhone 3GS iOS 5.1 & Outlook 2007 on MS7.  The basic calendar data transfer is OK but the birthdays (little box icon) are a day early & cannot be changed to the correct date. The birthday entries in my Outlook contacts have correct dates.How can I fix this?

    The following peocess corrects the calendar entry:
    edit the contact & change the birthday, save the change; edit the contact & change the birthday to the correct value, save the change again. The calendar entry then displays on the correct date.  Alternatively as a temp solution I can just de-select the "birthdays" calendar which stops the icon being displayed.
    Thanks for your advice, I think that it's n going to be a slow process to fix all the entries for not much return.
