OSX 10.8.2 dashboard dictionary does not work
I am trying to use the dictionary widget on the dashboard for mac 10.8.2.
when i search for word and hit enter, a small little grey shape comes up below the widget, instead of revealing the info i am after.
I have remove the widget from the dashboard and readded it, and it still doesnt work. I have only had this brand new computer since November 2012.
This is what happens when i search for a word, in either dictionary, thesaurus or apple mode.
Please help! Much appreciated.
in Terminal:
rm Library/Preferences/widget-com.apple.widget.dictionary.plist
killall Dock
You're welcome.

Finder does not working on Mavericks
Dear all,
The Finder does not working on my newly upgraded OSX Mavericks!
Yesterday I have just upgraded my Macbook Pro (OSX Lion) to OSX Mavericks. Now the Finder does not working at all; by that, I meant the folder I had opened previously now keeps frozening. Although I have tried to "relaunch"/ "Force Quit" the Finder and Restart the computer for so many times, but the frozen window remains on the screen (the Finder is not responding), so now I couldn't do anything neither with my files nor the hard drive itself except web browsing and some applications.
Anyone share your know-how on this please.
Thank you very much.I also got this problem, I need some help right now.

hp laserjet 2727 nf driver in osx lion does not work, It crashes the application and sends an error message?
Hey , Welcome to the HP forums! I hope you enjoy your stay here. I see that you are having some issues with adjusting the power save mode settings on your Laserjet P1606dn. I can help with that. First make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not a surge protector. If the printer is connected with an ethernet cable to a router then you may be able to do this instead:On the printer hold down the button that looks like a sheet of paper with an arrow on it for about ten seconds. This should print out a report.On your Mac open a browser and enter the printer's IP Address in your Address bar exactly as it appears on the page. When you are finished click on enter/return.This will open the printer's Embedded Web Server. In here you may be able to find some options to adjust the power save settings.If the above does not work then this troubleshooting may assist you with the utility:Go to Applications, and if you have it open the Hewlett-Packard folder.Run HP Uninstaller to remove any existing software from you system.On the Mac go to the Apple icon and Sytem Preferences.Open Printers and Scanners.Hold down the Command key and click on the picture of your printer on the left.Click on Reset Printing System.Go to Applications and Utilities.Open Disk Utility.Click on Macintosh HD on the left.Click on Verify Disk Permissions. This should take about ten minutes.Click on Repair Disk Permissions. This should take about ten minutes.Restart your Mac.Plug in the USB cable between the printer and the router.Check for Product Updates on your Mac.Try running the tool again.If this resolves everything please let others know by clicking on Accept as Solution below my post.
I hope this helps and I hope you have a great day! -

Hello @ringie,
Welcome to the HP forums.

The iBooks dictionary works fine for my iPhone 5, but it does not work for my iPad 2. Is this fixable?
I went to the Audio store to see about getting a surround sound and the salesperson asked me why I wasn't using AirPlay, he said it was better than the Bluetooth, better quality. So I do have AirPlay on my Sony and I installed the app on my iPhone 5 but they can't find eachother.......when I try looking for my iPhone on my receiver it does not show it. The Sony display works through my TV, the set up screen is there but it says no devices found. Like I said, the Bluetooth finds the iPhone and works ok, but the AirPlay does not.....looking at the manuel it says that the AirPlay will recognize my device (iPhone 5) but it does not..........

I got a iphone 5 but it does not work on my MacBook with Mac OSx 10.5.8 it says i need OSX 10.6.8 but it will not download because I need OSX 10.6 but it would load either. How do I get the older operating system to work with the IPhone5?
You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

Adobe AIR 2.0.3 Installer does not work in Firefox 3.6.8 (win7/osx leopard) via badge installer
Using the Air installer feature of the Air App Badge installer from http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/air_badge_install.html
does not work in Firefox 3.6.8 on both windows 7 and osx leopard 10.5.8.
seems to be still functional in firefox windows xp and osx snow leopard 10.6.3
To reproduce. without having air installed on your windows7 or osx leopard machine, go to http://www.tweetdeck.com/desktop/ and click on the "Download" button to begin air install. the "Yes" and "No" buttons are unresponsive. Air will fail to install.There is a thread on the topic on the Photoshop forum: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4124703#4124703
Strange, it works in CS4
But you guys are able to go to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/index.html right?

My "Weather" on the dashboard no long works. I have deleted it and added it anew and it still does not work. How can I get it back?
You must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.(10.9/Mavericks is the only download avaiable now without specially calling Apple).
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
* Mac computer with an Intel processor
* 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
* 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
* Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
Buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273
Other countries...

It looks like they might still have it...

Unzip does not work if osx is integrated in active directory
We have the following problem:
Unzip of zip-files (containing folders) does not work as soon as the osx client is integrated in active directory. The zip-file is located on the windows server file share. The share is mounted over smb to the client. We try to unzip it directly on that share with osx integrated zip / unzip functionality.
If we copy the zip-file to the local file system, unzip works.
If the zip-file contains just files, unzip works.
Under osx 10.8 unzip works. The problem occurs if we use 10.9 or higher.
There is no entry in the system log file.
If we try it with a 3rd party tool (stuffit expander), it works.
Deactivating of all of the domain policies does not solve the problem.
The problem occurs also if we mount the share with domain admin credentials. So there is not a problem with user rights.I have found the correct answer! After hours of research and chat with Verizon, I know it is operating correctly. Here is why:
If I have WIFI on, Verizon appllications can not be downloaded. So, if you are in the Verizon apps section for programs preloaded on your screen or any applications through Verizon, you can only download using 3G or 4G. If you have WIFI on, you must shut it down to use 3G & 4G networking of Verizon.
Any other downloads, not through Verizon, will download over WIFI. Even though the icons for 3G & 4G are visible when WIFI is active, they are disabled. My problem was reinstalling all the applications originally installed on the phone. To do that, WIFI must be shut down.
So the phone is working properly. I did find someone with Verizon who filled me in on this information. Thanks everyone for your help. -
I recently uploaded OSX 10.6.7 and ever since then, my Boris titler in FCP does not work with all the fonts, notably Avenir. It actually crashes FCP now. It was fine with the previous version. What's up Apple?
I know what your'e going through, Gary. OSX 10.6.7 is an absolute disaster. Since I upgraded, I've had problems in FCP, Logic, Garageband, even issue dealing with peripheral hardware like external monitors.
Before 10.6.7 my system was running fine.
I've brought this up with Apple repeatedly. They smile and shrug. They've been helpful resolving the issues, but none of them has been easy to solve. I have spent days, dealing back and forth with tech support, sending logs, etc., before solutions have been found.
I wish I could give you an answer to your question. My only guess is that Apple has totally dropped the ball on this one. In the future they should provide a disclaimer when they offer an upgrade. Something like: "Caution: all of your software may not function after this upgrade. But go ahead, you'll feel cool that your OS is the latest thing."
As someone who has been with Apple for close to 25 years, I'm disturbed by what appears to be an increasing sloppiness in their work. This is especially disturbing when you depend upon their system to make your living.
Good luck.

Is it because the backup on progress?Hmmm.. ok.. well you are kind of on your own.. purchasing from another country leads to problems.. especially as the TC itself is regional .. all the setup applies to the region it is sold in.
Make sure you are using ipv6 in the computers..

The 6.3 utility will not work without it.
Make sure all names are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Do a full reset and start over.
But there are no more controls.. you cannot set mode..
You can set wireless channels.. so do .. try different wireless names for the different bands.. and set fixed channels.. whatever your country allows, usually 2.4ghz you can use 1, 6, 11 but 13 maybe an option as well. 5ghz is much less clear and there are more variation. Just set to one channel and then another.
