Why have my widgets stopped working?

Widgets just went blank...Clock, weather, etc. ??

You may need to run a Terminal command to show the user library.
User is:   ~/Library  The (Tilde) character represents your user library.
Open Terminal. That is located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Now copy / paste this command:
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
Now try Go > Go to Folder
Show User Library Directory in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion & 10.8 Mountain Lion

  • Why have my tabs stopped working?

    Recently the tabs are not working, I click to open a new tab and nothing happens, using CTRL+T does not work, only right clicking and selecting a link to open a new tab works so I have to do that on a random link everytime i need a new tab. Solutions?
    I have shutdown FF, restarted laptop etc. Only thing I haven't tried is re-installing FF which is something I don't want to do.

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13 version. Evidently something in that extension isn't compatible with a Firefox security fix. Disable that extension or un-install it.

  • Why does my MacBook stop working when I tr to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing?

    Why does my MacBook stop working when I try to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing? This is the second time I have had it happen to my MacBook. The computer just shuts down and cannot be restarted. When I plug it into the charger I get a faint Green light where it plugs into the MacBook. When I took the computer into my local Mac store last time this happened (Nov 2012) they reckoned they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Has any body else encountered a similar issue?

    That would be a filter, yes. Didn't know Verizon handed out phone/DSL wall split filters. I would honestly take a look at the physical jack it is connected to for corrosion or lose connections as I doubt the filter is bad out of the box. Anyways, what was the original problem you had with the Phone and DSL that prompted Verizon to send out a filter?

  • Why does my trackpad stop working, the batteries are fine.

    Why does my trackpad stop working, the batteries are fine.

    Try expanding your question a little bit.... how is it not working? Just saying it "stopped working" isn't really saying much.
    Like does it work sometimes and it intermittendly stops? Is the light on the power button not on?
    Does it sometimes not click things? (always remember the actual trackpad buttons are actually on the buttom of the trackpad so you have to give a decent click on the pad to make it work)

  • Widgets Stopped Working!!!

    After reading a lot of articles on how people's widgets stopped working, and how there was no definitive answer, I would like to share what I did.
    I have a brand new MBP with Snow Leopard installed. All my widgets worked fine for a while.. Then they just froze up.
    I started researching, and trying various things, all with no success... I could see Dashboard eating 100% cpu in Activity Monitor, and when I would kill the process, it would come back.
    What I did was, delete all dashboard preferences, ~/Library/Preferences, killed the Dashboard process, opened terminal and typed:
    killall Dock(as my research suggested the Dock hold on to the dashboard preferences)
    After that, I then added back my widgets and all worked.

    Doesn't work for me - no stalled processes that I can find. There are four items called DashboeardClient that keep vanishing and then reappearing for a few seconds at a time. They have a number from 259 to 262 next to them
    Also, in the WIDGET MANAGER some have a white '-' sign in a red circle next to them that does not seem to indicate anythng unusual - i.e. some of these widgets are still working.
    If I turn widgets off, I can't turn them on again. Even doing a restart and Permissions repair doesn't restart them.
    Some Widgets are on the desktop but are empty and do nothing.
    You may click on the picture if you need to see it larger. As yo can see, although some are checked again, they haven't returned.

  • Can someone help me understand why my i tunes stop working after my library comes up?

    Can someone please help me understand why my i tunes stop working after my library comes up?

    Hello generousdragon,
    It sounds like you are unable to use iTunes shortly after launching it. Use the following article to help troubleshoot the issue, named:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
    Start with this step to isolate 3rd party plugins that may be causing an issue, an use the rest of the troubleshooting if needed.
    Start iTunes in Safe Mode
    Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
    Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
    Click Continue.
    See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
    If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Why does AirPort Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?

    Why does Airport Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?  The USB drive has its own power supply.  I've tried isolating the hard drive from Airport using a powered USB hub to no avail.

    The USB port on the AirPort Extreme is borderline as far as its ability to supply adequate power to a hard drive. Another way of saying the same thing is that this is not a high power USB port, like you would find on a computer.
    Your 2TB drive likely requires a bit more current than the USB port on the AirPort Extreme can supply. It is also possible that the drive's firmware may not support a network USB connection....only a "local" connection to a computer. Check with Seagate support on that possibility.
    Try using a powered USB hub with the 2TB drive....and make sure that the drive is formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT32....which the AirPort Extreme USB port can accept.

  • Why has my camera stopped working on Skype on my macbook air after running a software update to 10.8.5?

    Why has my camera stopped working on Skype on my macbook air after running a software update to 10.8.5?

    See this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
    FIX: 
    1. You need Time Machine
    2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
    3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
    4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
    5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
    6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.
    If that doesnt pass,
    Suggest looking here, much success has been found:
