Stickies widget problem

My stickies widgets change their background color back to standard every time i log out or restart my computer! why?

I've also had this question for a while but ended up fixing it myself by setting my own default background within the widget packaged file. If you want the fix I can post it here.

Can't change font in Stickies widget

Okay, I know this is a small thing, but for some reason I am unable to change the font in the Stickies widget that comes with Tiger. The strange thing is when I first used it, I was able to type in Marker Felt no problem. Then for some reason it just stopped working. I have all the necessary fonts in my Font Book; Stickies just doesn't appear to be accessing them. I've reloaded the widget several times. Any guesses?

Magritte,
First of all save any important notes that you may have using a word processing program.
Then find the widget-com.apple.widget.stickies.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences folder, drag it to the Desktop and log out/in or restart and let us know what happens.

Mountain Lion Stickies Dashboard Problem

When I upgraded to Mountain Lion the Stickies Widget in Dashboard begin showing a problem. The vertical text cursor that flashes where typing would begin is on every stickie so I have no idea which one is selected until I begin typing. It's annoying, I hope they fix it.

Same problem here. I tried to fix it by removing all widget-com.* and the com.apple.dashboard.* files after disabling the dashboard according to this guide: http://face.centosprime.com/macosxw/disable-dashboard/
Even though the problem seems to be fixed at first glance when setting up the stickies anew, the issue with blinking cursors keeps coming after some time.

HT2492 Stickies Widget

I have a problem with my stickies widget. I can change the color of the sticky but it only lasts until I turn off my computer. After shutting down and coming back in again, my stickies revert back to the original yellow color. Anyone know how to fix this?

they are available on my computer. I don't know! ive tried uninstalling it all and reinstalling (off the tiger install cd) but no luck!

Where is Stickies Widget information saved?

I was having issues with iPhoto and the only thing that fixed it was a clean install of Snow Leopard. I just backed up my user folder with SuperDuper since I wanted to start out fresh and then only add my user files and the applications I use now. I've got everything backed up but I just remembered that I didn't copy some info I had written down in the Stickies widget. I'm not sure if that info is saved in my user directory but hopefully it is saved somewhere in there. Is there is widgets folder or temp file I can copy from my backed up user directory into the clean install. Thanks a lot!

I am not able to retrieve a stickie note through my time machine even if I go to my home/library/stickiesdatabase. all that comes up is a blank white page. I pushed restore and the stickie I was looking for did not appear. I don't save them because I did not think I needed to... I thought time machine automatically restored your computer to the way it was on the certain date you go to. In fact, I am not sure how to save a stickie, it is not under the file options. I usually just cut and paste it to a document and then save the document. Does this sound right? they are just not retrievable once you have put them in the trash?

Problems restoring lost stickies/widgets to dashboard

Hello! I'm on a late 2006 Macbook that was originally running Tiger, then Snow Leopard and later Lion. I know my mac can give way anytime so I decided back up my mac on a time machine and to wipe the hdd via disk utility and reinstall Lion. (kinda regretting )
I have had some stickies since wayyyy back. And I am having trouble finding this .plist files and com-widget files in the Library/Preferences or Users/username/preferences (doesn't exist, no idea why) folder in my external hdd. I have found a thread (but have since lost the link) where a person commented that he was unable to find the .plist files in this folder as well (in this context, he upgraded from tiger to snow leopard).
Could it be that mine is somewhere else? I have tried searching in spotlight for the com.apple.dashboard.client.plist /com.apple.dashboard.plist as well as com-widget but nothing appears....
help? thanks in advance!
also have a problem accessing the backup i made prior to the hdd wipe (they are dark pink in the time machine) but i guess i should refer to another thread for that..

Hi,
Based on Lions rules of precedence, resources are searched by the system in ~/Library, /Library (...networks & then system Library).
So, if you installed the widgets as a user on the original system, they should be in ~/Library/Widgets and the plist should be in ~/Library/Preferences/.
A dashboard widget should store it's resources within these places only.
I wonder if the TimeMachine backup was complete?
Good luck!

10.4.4 widget problems

Since installing 10.4.4, most of my widgets are crashing when I go to dashboard. I thought it might be network-related because Weather, SMS, GoogleMaps all crashed. But some non-network widgets crash too (TileGame, UnitConverter--or are those accessing the internet?). Dictionary, Stickies and Calendar seem to work fine.
In the past I've had font-related widget and AppleApp problems--anybody know what fonts are required for widgets (the Apple ones at least)? But this may be totally unrelated...
Have done the permissions thing, deleted the relevant prefs files, and tried moving the widget files to a single location (HD/Library/Widgets or HD/Users/[user]/Library/Widgets, tried both). All to no avail.
Have also been experiencing slightly more frequent App crashes since the update, but nothing systematic enough to be of any help here...
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I downloaded the stand-alone 10.4.4 updater, ran it (without uninstalling the one that came via Software Update) and evrything seems to be working now. It seems I have successfully upgraded from 10.4.4 to 10.4.4.
Fingers crossed...

Blog summary widget problem

I am getting reports that some users cannot load my iWeb '08 site. I have looked into it and not everyone is affected the same. In safari it's fine but in firefox on a mac it only loads a partial page with a js error. On a windows pc it's a crap-shoot as to if it will load or not. I can get my pc to load it with ie 7 but others cannot. Searching the forums and google I can see that I am not the only one with this problem.
It seems that the "Blog Summary Widget" is the error. I have tried everything including File / Publish All
How can I fix this?

Spry validation select widget problem

Dreamweaver CS3
Im using spry validation for my form but the two spry validation select widgets I am using are not working. When I test them I keep getting errors that nothing has been selected when something has in fact been selected. I've used spry validation before with no problems but this is the first time using the spry validation select widget.
My code:
<tr>
            <td valign="top">Page in Question*</td>
            <td valign="top"><span id="spryselect1">
              <label>
              <select name="select1" id="select1">
                <option selected="selected">Home</option>
                <option>About Us</option>
                            </select>
              </label>
              <span class="selectRequiredMsg">Please select an item.</span></span></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>

Appreciate the help.

Image gallery widget problems

First of all, I'm pretty new to coding and using CS4 on my Mac. I'm trying to create a simple lightbox gallery. I'm using the Adobe Widget Browser and downloaded Lightbox Gallery Widget. I had to copy/paste all of the coding because for some reason dragging/dropping didn’t work. All of my thumbnails look good, but when I view in Live mode or in a browser, the large image does not appear. All of my images are in the correct folder and linked, but I'm thinking there's a problem with the 'next', 'prev', etc images. I’m sure it’s something simple I’m missing, but I’m at my wits end. I’ve used the Markup Validation Service and it checks out ok. Here is my site:

I’d appreciate any assistance! Thank you!

Having a similar issue - I had taken some iphoto galleries off my mobile me gallery page but they were still linked to pages published in iWeb.
When I realized this I opened iWeb and took the gallery widgets out.
Then went into iPhoto and republished the galleries to mobile me, then back to iWeb and they still showed blank (like the two didn't know about eachother - name of the gallery is still showing in iWeb, but no longer displays photos).
Next try - delete the widget from iWeb page, delete the mobile me published gallery from iPhoto, setup a new (different name and all) published gallery in iPhoto - works, gallery page in mobile me works, back to iWeb and insert widget menu and the old galleries are still listed, no new galleries are showing up in iWeb now - great.
So, trying the tricks of shutting down iPhoto, iWeb, logging out of mobile me account in system preferences as well as via safari on me.com - then log back into every thing and start up iWeb again - still no new iPhoto published mobile me galleries showing in the iWeb insert-widget-mobile me menu.
Any help? Looking for a refresh in iWeb!?

Web Gallery widget problems

I'm having some issues with the mobileme web gallery widgets in iWeb. I first noticed when one of the widgets would not change photos as you roll over it, even though I had multiple photos in the gallery. I unpublished the gallery and re-published using a different name. The next time I started iweb it didn't find any of my mobile me galleries. Almost every other time I get this message when working in iWeb. If it does find my galleries, It doesn't find the new one, but it still lists the old gallery that I have unpublished. I've tried repairing permissions, rebooting. I've seen that a few people had this problem and it went away. Mine hasn't though. Any ideas?

N97 Widgets problem

I've Nokia N97 with V12.0.024
A lot of times the phone stops responding and I've to take out the battery to restart the phone.
After the restart, when it loads the widgets on the main screen, the pics on the Favorite Contacts widget disappears and in the Music Widgets it dosn't show the media buttons or anything else.
Its irritating becuase after sometime most of the widgets stop working and the phone starts to respond very slowly.
So far only solution I've seen to the problem is to format the phone and restore everything again.
The frequency of formatting the phone has gone up to once a week now.
If anyone else is facing the same problem and know a solution pls help.

im facing the same problem..every damn day...all he widgets stop working after every 10 hrs or so..and sometimes my phone doesnt even respond..neither do i rcv ne calls..I have to take the battery off twice a day 2 make sure its working fine..unfortunately thr is no solution to this..and neither is nokia bothered 2 take this into note..greddy company have got the money..and to hell w/ thr loyal costumers.

Translation Widget Problem

Hello everyone. I am a pretty new apple user. Got to say im loving every minute of it. Well, two days ago my computer auto updated and since then for some reason my translation widget (came with comp) does not work. I can not type anything in it and it I cannot choose languages to use. Is there any way to reinstall it?

I was having the same problem with the translator widget and did what you said: put my preferences folder on the desktop and restarted it.
This led me to believe the problem was in the original preferences folder.
It was! I found, at the bottom of the folder, the widgets. I just trashed them, and
dragged the folder from my desktop back to my library replacing the new one that had formed. Restart and you should be good to go.

Twitter TL widgets problems

Hi,
After working around a lot with this subject, I'm still pretty puzzled with Embedding Twitter TimeLine Widget into a DPS article.
With current version of the widget, Twitter forces you to specify wich domain(s) are going to use the widget, then generates the HTML-JS code for it. As long as I have seen and read in this forum, local embedding is no longer possible, I made my way through generate an HTML document with the embed code into it, upload to the server which domain is allowed to display the widget, and got to the point where I can see the online web page containing the widget with no problems.
Then, if I use that URL in the Web Content in Folio Overlays, when it comes to Preview the Folio in the iPad, an error message pops up saying something about the Assets not found for the Overlay. If I try to use the same Web Content frame with any other URL works perfectly, only with that URL containing the HTML document with Twitter provided code embedded into it.
I am aware about this article: http://blogs.adobe.com/jlockman/2012/05/26/using-twitter-feeds-in-adobe-dps/ but the code used there is not so far the one provided by your Twitter's profile.
Anybody out there with same trouble?
Thanks
Ignacio

OK Ignacio, this is how far I've got (with some help). I have logged in to a Twitter account, and created a 'user tweets' widget, then pasted the widget code into a blank HTML document, and I have uploaded this HTML file to a web site.
The HTML code looks like this (I've blanked out the twitter name with xxxxxx here):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<a class="twitter-timeline" data-dnt=true href="https://twitter.com/xxxxxxxxx" data-widget-id="256053399068491776">Tweets by @xxxxxxxx
<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id =id;js.src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(docu ment,"script","twitter-wjs");</script>
</body>
</html>
By pointing to the URL of this HTML file in Safari or Chrome on my iPad, I see exactly what I should: the user's tweets in a single scrolling column with a 'Tweet to...' field at the bottom.
But if I put this URL in a Web Content frame on an InDesign page, DPS refuses to preview it in either the desktop Content Viewer or on my iPad, producing the error message 'The assets for one or more overlays could not be located. Verify the assets used are available on disk, then update the article.'
If I try to upload the article to a folio in the cloud, I get a Content Generation Error with the same error message as above.
As an alternative, I have deleted the Web Content frame and instead called up Object > Insert HTML and put the following code in the dialog (I have blanked out my precise URL here):
<iframe src="http://www.xxxxxxx/xxxxxx.html" width="440" height="840" frameborder="0" scrolling="no">
I click OK, wait a few seconds for the frame to draw and place a low-res preview image of the widget, then position it on the InDesign page. With the frame selected, I open the Folio Overlays panel and ensure Autoplay and Allow User Interaction are ticked in the Web Content options.
When I preview this page in the desktop Content Viewer... success! The widget works! Brilliant!
Unfortunately, when I preview this page to my iPad... failure! The widget appears for a split second (probably just the low-res preview from InDesign) before fading out to a blank frame with just the underlined (i.e. linked) words 'Tweets by @xxxxxxxx' at the top. If I touch this text, the Twitter account's full-size home page opens in the in-app browser, which is not what I want either. The same is true if I upload the page to a folio in the cloud and download it to my iPad.
Curiously, if I go back to the InDesign page, select the frame and untick Autoplay in the Web Content options (Folio Overlays panel), previewing the page to my iPad *appears* to work in that it shows the widget. However, it's not the widget I'm seeing but the same flat preview image that's visible on the InDesign page. When I touch it, the widget preview vanishes, to be replaced by a blank frame with the 'Tweets by @xxxxxx' link at the top.
I've tried launching the widget in the DPS in-app browser from a button link on the page, as opposed to opening the widget in a frame on the InDesign page, and I get exactly the same results.
I'm so very close but can't persuade DPS to handle the widget properly. Still experimenting...
