Why my dashboard is disappeared?

i had just upgrade my MBP to OSX Lion few days ago...
and today when try to open the mission control, i found that the dashboard is disappear.
then i tried to open it manually... unluckily noting came out and when i open the preference,
i can see the only option relation to the dashboard "Show dashboard as a space",
ok then i click and turn it on, and i tried it again, again nothing showed up...
and again i open the preference, and check that the option "show dashboard as a space" is off...
i turn it on and try, same result try once more.... same......
did anyone got the same problem?

One or more of your widgets are not compatible with Lion, that's all! The best way to fix this problem is to reset your dashboard, and reinstall your widgets.
1. Open finder
2. Hold down the option/alt key and select "Go" from the menu.
3. Select "Library" from the menu.
4. Open your "Preferences" folder.
5. Look for com.apple.dashboard.plist file, and move it to the trash.
6. Restart Lion
7. Your dashboard should now work! Next, reinstall all your widgets back on your dashboard. Hopefully they all work with Lion.
This will reset your dashboard to factory settings and Lion will create a new com.apple.dashboard.plist file for you.
fyi, if this works for you, please click the "like" button. :-) thank you.

  • HT5085 I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list.  I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

    Have you deleted anything from your iTunes library ? Have you checked to see if they are still on your computer, but not listed in your iTunes library ?
    If not then do they show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading ? If they don't show there and others do and they are still in your country's store, then check to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    If they are no longer in your store for redownloading (or you aren't in a country where music videos can be redownloaded) then you will need to copy them back from your backup of your library/downloads.

  • Why does the slider disappear every time I use it to move the window (Windows: FF 32.0)?

    Why does the slider disappear every time I use it to move the window (Windows: FF 32.0)? How do I get the slider back?

    Problem solved: I have been using Walnut for Firefox ver. 2.0.28 theme. For some reason this has been causing the problem. Started FF in Safe Mode, and the slider problem disappeared. Then proceeded to re-enable the Walnut theme: the problem reappeared. Disabled Walnut theme and reenabled all my other add-ons (about 6 of them). Still no problem. So, clearly there is a problem with the use of Walnut theme in FF ver. 32, at least on my Windows 7 installation.
    Thanks for all your suggestions and help. Good job, all!

  • WHY HAS EVERY EMAIL DISAPPEARED?

    why has every email disappeared?

    Hello,
    Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
    Any change on normal boot after that?

  • Why have my notes disappeared

    Why have my notes disappeared?

    Just for a little expansion of DonGuerneville advice.  To turn NOTES off as he states:
    1) Go to SETTINGS
    2) go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    3) Under account to the top right of your screen, go to EACH account listed here.
    4) you will get a pop-up window which will list the following:
    Mail
    Contacts
    Calendars
    Reminders
    Notes
    Next to each entry is an on/off switch.  Here is where you turn OFF the Notes.
    If you do NOT do it for all Accounts listed they most likely will disappear into the accounts that were NOT turned off.
    One last point.  When my Notes first disappeared the first place I looked into was my Yahoo Account and they were NOT there.  Three weeks LATER is when they first appeared.  Why they delay, that is the new mystery....

  • Why does Time Machine disappear?

    Why does Time Machine disappear each restart?

    Suggest that you power cycle the entire network, as things are likely out of sequence
    Power every device off on the network, order is not important
    Wait a few moments, then start the modem first and let it run by itself for 2-3 minutes
    Start the Time Capsule the same way
    Start each network device one at a time about a minute apart
    Check for proper operation

    Why all My pictures disappear from My pictures, were My pictures goes if they are in iCloud how can i access to it?

    Your camera roll photos are only stored as part of your iCloud backup, if you are backing up to iCloud.  Only photo stream photos are accessible in your iCloud account, and only by turning on photo stream.  If you turn on photo stream, any photos in your photo stream will be found in the photo stream album in the Photos app on your phone.

    Why does my bookmarks disappear so fast when I try to find one I want to use

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Why did my ringtones disappear after i sync my iphone4

    why did my ringtones disappear after i sync my iphone4.  I checked them in the 'tones' and clicked 'sync' and they are still not showing up on my phone???

    Make sure you have checked on your Device Settings > Sounds > Ringtones > they should appear under Ringtones categories and listed above the system ringtones that came with IOS.
    If you still don't find them, uncheck 'SYNC TONES', sync then re-check SYNC TONES and sync again.
