When I click the dashboard, I get doubles

Hi,
This has been a problem for a while. When I click on the dashboard icon on my dock, I get doubles: 2 calculators; 2 weather panels; and 2 clocks.
I do NOT get 2 calendars for some reason. (??)
I've checked Dashboard Preferences and there seems to be little there in the way of configuration options. So I don't know what could be causing it.
I appreciate any help or assistance.
Many Thanks, Frank B.

Hello Frank:
Try trashing a couple of preference files and then restarting:
com.apple.dashboard.plist
com.apple.dashboard.client.plist

    On my Ipad I seem to be having a problem when trying to play YouTube videos embedded on Facebook.
    When I click the links, I get a message saying: "Flash Player upgrade required."
    and under it, it says, "You need to download and install the lastes version of Adobe Flash Player to view this content"
    and also a green button saying "Get Flash Player"
    I get this if using chrome or safari .
      I can go direct to YouTube it just works.

    The Facebook link to the video is accessing an Adobe Flash video.  Unfortunately, no iOS devices can play flash. 

  • I get a Software Update message that says "Update Available" A Security and stability update for Firefox is available: Firefox 8.0.1 ...when I click the link I get a message that Firefox is connecting to the update server but nothing else happens.

    When I click the link Firefox shows a status bar and states that it is connecting to the update server, but the status never changes and nothing seems to be happening.

    Sometimes the updater gets in a funny state - Go to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and download the full installer. Close Firefox and run the installer

  • I download Firefox 4 which is supposed to be compatible with OSX10.4 and above. But when I click the icon I get a message that it is not compatible with version of OSX10.4.11 and it wont load

    I download Firefox 4.o and drag to app folder then to dock. When I double click on the dock icon I get a message the forefox is not compatible with this version of OSX (which is OSX10.4.11). What gives?

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • How do I get rid of the notice that I need to update, when Firefox then tells me I have the latest version when I click the link to get the update?

    This notice has been on the page under the Google box for the last few days. There is a link to click on to update. The next page says that I'm up to date but suggests downloading Android or offers a download of Firefox if I'd like one.

    Thanks for the help. It's undoubtedly my error in not saying I'm a Mac user up front. I got there & chose return to default. Turns out that's where I have been all along. It's the Mozilla Firefox Start Page. But it includes this silly notice that I don't have the latest version of Firefox! Seems to me there's a bug (or whatever, I'm not real techy) in the basic design of the Firefox home page. Maybe it hasn't been updated for users of Lion?

  • I've developed the problem that when I click on something I get a dialog box with a mess of stuff such as: Back,re;oad page ,Open in dashboard ,print page, etc. It's quite annoying!

    I have a problem that when I click on something I get a dialog box with Back,Reload page, Open in Dashboard,View Source Save page as ETC. I don't get the normal or expected respose to a simple "click". Another problem. For some reason the back and forth arrows it the tool bar of Safari have shifted from the upper left hand cornor to the uuuer rihht hand cornor.

    Something is seriously wrong then.  Did you move it?  There are several Library folders.  One of them should be inside your HOME folder.
    If WZZZ suggestion does not work, re-install your OS by using Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo.  When done, repair permissions and restart your computer.

    Joanne Murray J2 What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what operating system (including 32 or 64 bit) is your Premiere Elements installed? Forgive the questions if you have been there and done that, but I do not want to take anything for granted that might hinder a speedy resolution to your issue. Are you opening an already created title that is sitting on the Timeline in order to edit it in the Titler or are you trying to create a new Title (Default Text or other)? Do you know how to work with the Selection Tool and Type Tool in the Titler? Once I know what version of Premiere Elements that you are using, I will give you specific how to details. Thanks. ATR

    Sounds like a possible permissions issue, try repairing the permissions using Disk Utility.
    You can open Disk Utility several ways.
    1. Use the Spotlight in the Upper Right corner of the screen and search for it, then click it to open it.
    2. Open a new finder window (File> New Window)
    - Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility
    3. Click on the Finder
    - Click 'Go' in the menu bar across the top of the screen.
    - Click Utilities, then double click on Disk Utility.
    Once Disk Utility is open there should be a column on the left side, the name of your hard drive should be listed there.
    (By Default it is named Mac HD or Macintosh HD)
    Click on it to highlight it.
    There should then be a few buttons you can click
    - Verify Disk Permissions
    - Repair Disk Permissions
    - Verify Disk
    - Repair Disk
    Click Repair Disk Permissions

  • After migrating data from Time Machine, some of my photos are not showing up in iPhoto. I get a 'dashed rectangle." When I click on it I get ' ! in a Triangle" When I click on that, I actually can see the photo. I want to see my photos

    After migrating data from Time Machine, some of my photos are not showing up in iPhoto LIbrary view. I get a 'dashed rectangle." When I click on it I get ' ! in a Triangle" When I click on that, I actually can see the photo. I want to see all  my photos in 'Library' view, and I can't figure out how these photos seem to be arbitrarily hidden. Help, please.

    Try these for the first attempt:
    First be sure to have a backup copy of the library if you already don't have one.

    Get the redeem code from the KLove page:

    ...and enter it into the Redeem Code box in the iTunes Store.
    You will have to sign in to your iTunes account.
    It worked fine here.  If that doesn't work for you, let us know what went wrong.

  • When I click the home button, it takes me to my home page AND opens a blank tab. How can I get it to stop opening the new tab!

    I have igoogle as my hompage. When I click the home button, it will open my igoogle page but also open up a blank tab as well. Firefox didn't always do this, it just started. Maybe when I upgraded to the 5.0. I've tried looking in the options and I can't find something there and there doesn't seem to be a solution on the web. How do I get it to stop doing that?

  • When I click the share button to email a file from Preview or Safari, I get an error sound

    As one other user previously stated with a similar situation:
    I use preview all the time to email pdf documents. When I click the share icon then click mail all I get is the "clunk" noise I associated with error messages, but nothing else, no dialogue window and no error message. I can't find anything in the Preview preferences about sharing.
    How can I send the file that I am previewing with this sharp button via email.  I use Outlook for Mac as my email program.  Outlook for Mac 2011 version 14.4.8

    Do a backup.
    Quit Preview.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Remove the following. You may not find them all. Restart and test.
    Containers/com.apple.Preview
    Containers/com.apple.quicklook.ui.helper
    Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist

    From within Photoshop Elements, when I try to open Editor, a box opens that states I must activate the software.  I registered and activated the software last year.  When I click to activate, I get a message that I am not connected to the internet.  I am connected.  How do I get Editor to work?

    You would get the redemption code, or perhaps even the serial number, from whomever you purchased the software from, apparently Amazon, so talk to them.  This wouldn’t be the first time they’ve sold something that didn’t have all the numbers needed to license it.
    A redemption code is something that is usually on the inner disc packaging if you purchase the media in a box, and there is a barcode on the outside of the packaging that must be scanned at the checkout register to activate the hidden inner code so you can redeem it at home on that website.  This is what happens if you buy PSE from a brick-and-mortar store like Best Buy.  I don’t’ know what happens if you purchase the downloaded version as I have never done that.
    A redemption code is 24-digits of letters and numbers that you enter into a website to get a serial number, once and only once.  The serial number of only 24-digits, no letters, is what you enter into the software during the install or when you run it and it asks if you want to register or run in a trial mode—whatever the exact phrasing is.
    In any case it sounds like you don’t have either a redemption code or serial number—although perhaps something is listed on the purchase confirmation or your account online at Amazon or even in an e-mail from Amazon.

  • I recently purchased songs from itunes via my pc and I dont know how to get them onto my iphone? When I click the sync button it says I will lose all the music currently on my iphone.. Help :(

    I recently purchased songs from itunes via my pc and I dont know how to get them onto my iphone? When I click the sync button it says I will lose all the music currently on my iphone.. Help

    If you're syncing with a different iTunes library than the one you previously synced with, then there is no way around it. You're gonna loose the old data. The only way round it would be to make sure that all the music files on your iPhone is also in your iTunes library. If you still have access to the computer with the old library, you could copy the files on to an external harddrive, and then import them into your new iTunes library.
    If it is in fact the same library, then the music currently on your iphone, is also in your itunes library. Just make sure that the artists/albums/playlists, or whatever you sync contains these tracks, that you allready have on your phone and don't want deleted. What i do is, i create a playlist specifically for my iPhone, and i set it up to only sync with this playlist. Whenever i hear a track from my iTunes library or buy a new track that i want on my phone, i just drag it to this playlist and next time i synchronize, it's there without deleting anything else.
