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
So it was nothing to do with fonts, however here'e the list i asked for previously. System>Library>Fonts and Library>Fonts on a standard ENglish language install:

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.

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.

Adobe 9 standard won't launch

I have Adobe 9 standard (9.4). I have been using it for several years. Suddenly, it won't launch. Attempting to launch it results in several error messages: "missing file C:\dell\N878J"", Missing "Acrodist.exe"' and Adobe XMP.dll is missing.
Since this program was pre-installed, I do not have recource to the installation disk. I was going to install a trial verson of Acrobat Pro XI but i cannot uninstall the older Acrobat 9--which is required, according to the Acrobat XI installer.
I tried Acrofix. It returned a 07 error code.
Can you tell me where to get copies of the missing files? or how to either reinstall or remove the older Acrobat 9.4--there is no installer or uninstaller in the Acrobat 9 file.
Thanks.

I recommend the Acrobat forums. CreatePDF is something quite different. You should also contact the PC supplier for your install disk, it's their job to provide it to you. Good luck!

CS3 Installer Won't Launch

OSX 10.5.5
Intel Quad Core Tower, 8GB Ram
Currently installed: CS3.3 Master Collection
I am trying to reinstall Acrobat 8 from my Master Collection 3 disc, and Setup won't launch. I've also tried Utilities:Add or Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection, and it won't launch either.
I've tried the standard solutions: fix file permissions, install from admin account and new user account, uninstalled CS4 Beta applications. Nothing has helped.
Adobe technical support has been no help. I've been on the phone with them for two hours this morning.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

BRIAN, HERE'S WHAT WORKED FOR ME, BUT I WAS USING WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL, NOT A MAC SYSTEM. STILL MAYBE IT MAY BE OF HELP.
I had problems uninstalling and reinstalling my Adobe Master Collection CS3. The problem being that the installer would run and then disappear without initiating the uninstall/installation process.
Here are the simple combination of steps which worked for me.
1/ removing Adobe Master Collection CS3 by running add/remove programs
2/ running the Adobe CS3 clean script. I'm almost 100% certain I chose option 1 when running the script http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
3/ out of desperation and realising I had nothing to loose because I had an image of the fairly newly configured hard drive I was using, I deleted the Adobe "Installers" Folder located inside the Adobe folder at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
Steps 1 and 2 above did not solve my problem.
Step 3 did solve my problem. However, I do not know if step 1 and/or 2 were required for step 3 to work.
GOOD LUCK :-)
PS. Please let users of this site know if this solution has worked for you ...and if so, pass the solution on elsewhere too.

ITunes won't launch in windows 7 64 bit

itunes used to work fine under Windows 7. Recently it stopped responding. It won't launch. I can see that the processes are running, in Task Manager. But iTunes never opens.
I have tried a dozen ideas from hardware review forums and I have done all that the Apple site suggests here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 64 bit and Quicktime and removed and re-installed the Apple Application Support.
Nothing so far has changed anything.
Can anyone help me find out why this is happening and how to correct it?

Quicktime does NOT start
Many thanks.
In recent times, the error-message-free iTunes and QuickTime launch failures have been indicating that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Acrobat won't launch after update

Dear Experts,
I have a very urgent problem to solve.
I am currently running ADOBE Creative Suit 6 Design Standard on my desktop.
It includes an Acrobat. I've using Acrobat for months everything's normal untill there's an update (detail of the update please refer to:http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/release-note/release-notes-acrobat-reader.html"). i installed it and acrobat never launch again.
So I uninstall the Acrobat and install again from the CS6 Design Std DVD and it worked again. I did this back and forth trying to fixed the problem. And i decided not to update any more. And it's working in the older version Adove Acrobat X Pro 10.1.1 . it worked for a couple of weeks, and it won't launch again. Please, help.
System environment:
Windows 7 Enterprise Service pack 1, Hardware: standard Desktop "HP Compaq 8200 Elite Convertible Minitower" with Intel Core i5-2400 Processor, @3.10GHz, 8GB RAM 64-bit OS.
Current location: Guangdong, China. Language environment: OS is in English, Software is in English, but we sometimes need to deal with Chinese language.
PS: Adobe Reader X works well, with mutil-language support.

Hi MacFisher,
Can you please try the following:

Acrobat Pro 7 Suddenly Won't launch

I'm trying to print a PDF I made last week, and Acrobat Pro 7 won't launch. I get the standard "The application Acrobat quit unexpectedly." message - no codes like some others I've seen. I'm planning to upgrade to CS4 in January, but I have to get work done NOW!
Any help is appreciated.

My permissions have been repaired. Still not launching, but it does pretend for about 30 seconds before I get them window.
As for preferences, where the heck are they hiding? OS X doesn't make that search easy. I have a lot of preference files related to Adobe, and four for Acrobat. I have removed each one, tried to boot Acrobat, and after failing put the file back.
I'm surprised that there is nothing addressing this item in the knowledgebase.

IWeb won't launch

I need help. iWeb won't launch. Everytime I try to launch it, I get the progress bar and it shows about 50% complete… then does not progress… then temporarily freezes my system… then quits and I get the standard dialog box message asking of I would like to quit, re-try or send a report to Apple. I've tried the re-try option sometimes with luck but not usually and I've sent NUMEROUS reports to Apple. I've read the reposrt and it says something to the affect of crashing on thread 4. HELP, my site is a work in progress and I pdate it frequently.

I have the same issue. iWeb loads and I open the media browser. As it is cataloging all my movies, it crashes. I believe it does have to do with "corrupt" movie files, and in my case, .avi files created by my Canon camera. When it gets to one, it closes unexpectedly. If I move these files elsewhere, it goes further until it gets to another one before crashing. Same thing with the ones in my iPhoto library. I haven't "cleaned" all of them out of my Movies and Photos folders, but they seem to be the offending files in my case causing iWeb to crash.
I'm not clear what the 'domain' file has to do with this, though. Mine shows '?????' so it didn't lead to any insight to the "corrupt" files.

HT203107 Safari won't launch following update. Any fixes?

Just installed update and Safari won't launch. Any patches or fixes?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Downloaded Dashboard Widgets won't run, Help.

Can't figure this one out. Widgets that come with Leopard run fine. Any I download won't launch. I have 4 user accounts, all have same problem. I created a new user account and the downloaded widgets works fine.
So, not sure what happened but all users created prior to a certain point don't work, any new users now seem fine. Anyone else seen this? Any ideas on how to resolve?

Most of the widgets in Dashboard weren't working for me. So far as I am aware, this problem started when I tried to add new third-party widgets (downloaded through Apple-Downloads) after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard.
This is what got things working again -- and was much easier than an archive and install:
1. I took a screen shot (command-shift-3) with dashboard open to make a record of widget placement.
2. I disabled dashboard with DashboardSwitch (http://braintrigger.com/software/DashboardSwitch).
     (It might be that a restart would have done the same thing -- but for me this was easier.)
3. I removed all plists with the word "dashboard" or "widget" in its name from User/Library/Preferences, and left them in a folder on my desktop.
4. I enabled Dashboard with DashboardSwitch. (I believe it's the case that if you use this program to disable Dashboard, you cannot start Dashboard though the Dock until it's been enabled again with DashboardSwitch.)
     (For those who simply restarted in step 2, I'm guessing all you'd have to do at this stage is to open Dashboard normally.)
5. With the old preferences removed, Dashboard loaded with only the default widgets open. I clicked the plus symbol, removed those I didn't want to keep, and began adding back widgets, starting with ones originally supplied by Apple, and waiting after each one to be sure it was working. If something didn't work, I removed it and went on.
6. When I was done, only two widgets still wouldn't work.  It turned out both were only designed for Tiger, specifically, and not for Leopard. One I updated -- after which, it worked fine.  The other had no update for Leopard, so I had to replace it with something similar.
7. I reset preferences on the flip side of my widgets, then used the screen shot I took in step 1 as a guide for putting things back in place. (Yes, that's finicky -- but I liked them where I had them.)
8. After I had everything running the way I liked it, I trashed the folder with the old widget and dashboard preferences, which I had left on my desktop.
Everything's working fine now.  I hope this helps someone else.

Help! New install of CS 5.1 won't launch

Given the confluence of a 30% off sale and the new upgrade policy Adobe has rolled out, I decided to dive in and upgrade to Adobe CS 5.5, from CS 4. I'm using the Design Standard package. Everything downloaded and installed fine -- but for some reason Illustrator won't launch.
I double click the icon in the Finder, and it appears in my Dock, bounces a couple of times, and then vanishes.   I've uninstalled CS 5.5 and CS 4, and used Adobe's Creative Suite Cleaner to scrub all traces (including preferences) of pretty much all Adobe software from my Mac, and reinstalled CS 5.5, but the problem persists. I called Adobe's tech support, but they were unhelpful.
They kept insisting that I reinstall the app (already have) and that I try creating a new user account and see if it will launch from that account (I did, but it won't).   Eventually, my cell phone died, so that ended that route for finding help.
I was wondering if anyone else had encountered this issue. Every other app in the installation is working perfectly, but Illustrator won't budge.   Any ideas?

Other CS5.5 apps open properly after reinstall?
System specs?
I would call them back - you should be covered for install issues until they are resolved, I would hope!

Flash CS3 won't launch after installation

Any Ideas
I've just installed CS3 Web standard on 19 PC's ( Win XP SP2
2 GB RAM) but for some reason Flash won't launch on some of these
computers. When you try and launch Flash you get as far
initializing fonts and then closes down.
It's quiet strange Flash works on some of the 19 Computers
which I must add are all identical and have the same software
installed on them.
Has anyone else had any issues with Flash?
Irfan

Well, it can get worse: my downloaded version will not
install (Vista, run program as an administrator, even ruuning in
compatibility mode). No matter what I do, after clicking setup.exe,
there is a dead silence. No new process is launched.

Dictionary won't launch

I'm running Tiger 10.4.11 on a Quad Mac Pro and my Dictionary App won't launch. My Widget dictionary works but the main Dictionary App flickers into life and then disappears from the dock. Has anyone else experienced this?

Creative Suite programs won't launch anymore

I bought my Creative Suite Standard CS6 and it worked fine for three weeks. Suddenly it won't launch any of the programs. I've tried reinstalling the discs, but it still wont work. Additional information: I'm using Windows 7. I bought the Student/Teacher version and have registered it with Adobe.
