Webpage not continually updating in widget on mac dashboard.

Hi,
I used the 'File -> Open in Dashboard ...' feature in Safari to add a webpage to the dashboard so that I can keep my dashboard open on the server and monitor the webpage along with a few other items.
However the webpage is always being updated and I noticed that after awhile the webpage stops changing, and it's almost as if the widget goes to sleep. If I reconnect to the server and move my mouse, it seems to wake the webpage up again, however I don't want to have to keep 'waking' up the dashboard every few minutes during the day.
Is there anyway to keep the dashboard webpage widget from going to sleep? Are there any settings that will keep the widget active even if there has been no activity on the server for hours? Or does anyone have any recommendations for a different widget that doesn't exhibit this behavior?
Thanks

Open in Dashboard has always been a little iffy, IMHO. An alternative workaround to the one you described is to click on the widget window and hit command-r.

Is firefox down today? Can't seem to log on my desktop (imac) today & could not download updated firefox on my mac air

I cannot get firefox to open on my imac today
Got the message to update on my mac-air and tried to do so but got the message that I "don't have permission to open some items"

It might help for you to post your Mac OS version (the "iOS 5.1" shown in your profile is not a computer OS) and the model iMac you have ("About this Mac" from your Apple menu is a good place to start).
I ask because OPTIARC drives tend to be used in iMacs newer than the pre-2006 models this forum covers. We want to be sure the advice you get is targeted to your model and not one that's over six years old.

Do you think it is because I have MacKeeper?

Hi Drew,
I have no idea how they can get away with advertising MacKeeper at all.
I even avoid linking to sites that advertise it.
You really really need to uninstall it, but maybe not using their uninstaller.
Klaus1's great post on MacKeeper...

Ince updating my firefox browser whenever i click on an internet link in an email it does not open on firefox although my mac switches to the firefox window as this is my default browser- what to do? Previously this has always worked without a hitch...

ince updating my firefox browser whenever i click on an internet link in an email it does not open on firefox athough my mac switches to the firefox window as i have this set to be my default browser- what should i do?

I have the same problem, and I also wondered if Google toolbar has anything to do with it. There GMAIL was set as the default mail application at first. I have removed that setting, but Firefox 4.0.1 continues to use GMAIL instead of Outlook which is my selection for mailto handling.

Since update of my MAC my Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my MAC to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud.

Since update of my Mac Book Pro my previously drafted Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my Mac to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud. Also since the update Notes no longer appear as a folder in "Mail" but are now a distinct programme-is there any way of returning Notes to the Mail programme?

Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

Hi Ryan,
I managed to find this reference specifically for restoring on Snow Leopard:
If you are using Mac OS X Snow Leopard, start your computer from the installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility.
Now that was copied from this more comprehensive reference:
Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
You may also find this article helpful:
http://pondini.org/TM/14.html
Finally, I cannot see why Time Machine would leave out your playlists and ratings? Think about it. Why would Time Machine specifically copy everything BUT your playlists and ratings? Ryan, what are your options? I would have to ask you this: Are you certain that you properly did the sync? That is another/different forum altogether: Using iPhone /see subsection on Syncing.
Either way...
Best Regards,
mm
EDIT: For whatever reason I tried three times to edit out one of the redundent adjectives... either different or another which preceeds the word forum, but the advanced editor would (apparently NOT allow me to do so). I hope that it doesn't render without any adjective before the word forum.

I am trying to update to iTunes 10 to us my new iPad, but I can not remove a corrupted "apple software update" program... I can get everything else off, but due to "previous version" of software update it will not continue.

I stopped in to see one of the genius at the local store who referred me to "Windows Installer 4.5 Redistributable" (I am trying to install it on a Windows XP System)
The last version on iTunes on my PC was iTunes 7.
Thanks for your help,

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

You don't need to download the Windows support software, because in Snow Leopard, they are only available as a download for the Late 2010 MacBook Air.
Instead, you have to buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The Snow Leopard disc contains the Windows drivers for your Mac, so you have to install them after finishing the Windows installation

Had a recent crash on my macbook, was previously using OS 10.6 I think. Restored from recent Time Machine backup and updated to OS 10.8.2 and now I cannot open Logic Pro 9. I get a 'No entry' Icon and a not supported on this type of Mac message. I cannot update either as anything up to 9.1.1 tells me I don't need it yet 9.1.2 tells me I need an eligable Logic Pro Version was not found in applications.
All of my files are stored in a separate hard drive with only the actual app having been on my Macbook. Should I just reinstall?

Hi
To run Mouitain Lion you need to update Logic.
For the updaters to work the Logic application must be:
a) Within the Applications folder, and not in any sub-folder
b) Named "Logic Pro" with no extra numbers or spaces

Updated image is not continuing with the State Restore Phase

MDT 2010 Update 1
Our MDT guru quit about a month ago.   I've done basic stuff here and there
But have never updated an image..
1. I deployed our current image to a Vmware workstation. Added about 200 updates. Nothing else done.
     I than rebooted and logged in as local admin and ran litetouch.wsf in a command prompt.
     And ran the "Sysprep and Capture image" task sequence.
     This sysprep'd and imaged with no errors to the captures folder.
2. I than moved that updated image to the "Operating Systems" folder on the deployment share. Renamed the old .wim file and renamed the new one to be the same as the old one..    (Not completely sure this is the correct
way to do this) But couldn't find any info on how this is done)
I than proceeded to reimage a machine with the updated .wim.
It gets all the way to the State Restore phase and just stops.   After the final reboot. I logon with the local admin account as usual and it does not continue.   the Minint and _SMSTaskSequence folder are still there.. If
I let it set for hours nothing happens...
I compared the BDD.log file for both images.    They seem to be identical up until the State Restore phase is supposed to start.
I see NO errors in the BDD log file...
So I am lost as in what to do to try and remedy this issue..

Its the new WIM that is not continuing...
I did try the import.   and it did the same thing.
here is the ending of the BDD.log file

Itunes won't open after downloading last update. Error message says "not supported by this type of Mac"

Downloaded latest iTunes update. Now iTunes won't open, and the error message says "You can't open the application iTunes because it is not supported on this type of Mac." I have been using this MAc since 2008. Any suggestions appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It's a common problem that some users have after installing the most recent iTunes. Download and install again iTunes 11.0.3 to solve that problem > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1614

You need to install Office on the computer from the installer DVD or disc image you purchased.

I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

"The iPod ... could not be updated because it could not be found" on Mac?

I just updated to the latest version of QuickTime and was notified that there was a new iPod update but when I try to update it I get the message:
"The iPod "My Name's iPod" could not be updated because it could not be found."
I tried to remove the iPod Software Update folder, but that didn't work.
I also tried to restore the iPod too, but I got the same error message??
I see documents for Windows on this error message about the firmware being corrup bug not for Macs.
What's going on??

Well, back again... a new iTunes and QuickTime update via Software Update and it got my iTunes in the same state again after the web installation. DOH! I reinstalled both QT and iTunes again to fix the issue again. I can't be the only one that this is happening to so just reiterate the fix works but that I'm beginning not to trust the Software Update versions of the installers for QT and iTunes. There IS a difference and it's a buggy result of not being able to find the iPod afterward. Next time I get the prompt to update I'm going to refuse and then download it from the website.
