Widget "done" buttons have disappeared

The widgets on my Intel iMac have the "i" button, but when I use it (e.g. to change the zip code on a weather widget, or enter my personal info in an SMS widget), the widget flips as it should, but there's no way to get back to its front when I'm done entering info on the back side, because there's no "done" button any longer. (If I close the widget with the "x" box, the changes aren't saved; when it reopens from the manager, I get the front again, but with the old information.) I looked for a preference file in my preferences, but I don't seem to have one for dashboard. Widget manager works fine, however.
Thanks for any suggestions for getting that "done" button back! Or a workaround....

Hi Kevin
The two .plist files don't control the display just the widgets required so I don't think they are the problem. What you could do is start a widget directly like a normall app and see if has the "Done" box.
Mac HD / Library / Weather.wdgt
That will start Dashboard and place this widget in the middle of the screen
If you drag a new widget from the selection is it the same with no "Done" button
There is no way in Mac OS to switch Dashboard off that I have found - probably can in Terminal - however there is a nice maintenace app which will do it and a lot of other things including the Apple maintenance tasks. It loads into the right side of the menu bar and start as a login item

  • Imovie 3.0.3 edit buttons have disappeared, how do I get them back?

    I am trying frantically to finish a project for work and when I opened imovie this afternoon after working with it all morning, my edit buttons have disappeared. I can view the movie but have no way to add clips, audio, etc. without the buttons. This happened once before, right after I updated my OS to Tiger 10.4.9. When I spoke with AppleCare, I believe they had me rebuild my preferences folder. It been awhile and I did not write the steps down. Can anyone help me with this?

  • After updating to 3.6.18, all add-on buttons have disappeared, even though they show enabled. Why?

    Menu items for add-ons, such as Delicious and Evernote are working, but there are no buttons on the toolbar. Those that buttons only and don't have menus or menu items simply do not show up at all, even though they are showing as enabled. This includes all those listed below:
    Delicious
    Feedly
    Evernote
    Amplify
    Morning Coffee
    Operating System is Windows 2000 (Compatibility Report Shows Windows NT 5.0)

    There may be a problem with one of the files that stores details on installed extensions. Try deleting the files as shown in the "Corrupt extension files" section of this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
    If one of the files listed is corrupt it can cause problems with extensions not working even if they appear to be installed.

  • IPod touch "done" button have white lines issue

    This problem have occured on my iPod Touch 2G MC model running both iOS 4.1 and iOS 4.2.1.
    So basically when playing videos from safari, in a game, the ipod app, or anywhere else with a "done" button on the upper left corner, there are two white lines within the button (from where the curve at the edge starts). Not really an issue, but it looks kind of ugly.
    Have this happened to anyone else before? Is there a fix? I restored, set up as new ipod several times and would not work.

    Since restoring to factory defaults/new iPod did not resolve the problem I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Updated to iOS 6.1.3 and the "Done" button has disappeared

    iPad updated to iOS 6.1.3 last night. Tried to add appointments to calendar and there's no "Done" button. -- can't save an appointment.  Subsequent reboot holding both buttons. Nothing. Messing around I noticed a tiny sliver of blue where the "Done" button should be, pressed it, and that sliver is the button. I guess only Apple can fix this with another update.

    Hi krissy_ann02
    I'm having the same issue after upgrading to 6.1.2 on my iPad 2 but it seems more refined to playlists from what I've been able to listen to as my full albums seem to play in order.
    I also had my iPad crash during updating and had to restore it and thankfully iCloud put back all my app data and settings with help from iTunes to sync purchased content.
    Hope they fix the issues, Todd

  • My buttons have disappeared

    Hey Guys,
    I've been having trouble with my buttons. About a week ago, I burned a test dvd of my project and everything ran perfectly. Since then, I've added a few things and the preview runs flawlessly but once I burn it, my buttons disappear. I can still navigate, but I have no clue what it is I'm clicking on. Does that sound familiar to anyone? becuase it makes no sense at all to me. I'm sure it's some mundane button that I accidentally pushed. Thanks for any assistance.

    Does that sound familiar to anyone?
    It sounds familiar to me, unfortunately.
    I recently purchased a new Sony BDP-S570 Blu-ray player to replace my aging Sony DVP-S360 DVD player.  The buttons which worked fine using the DVD player have for some reason disappeared when using the Blu-ray.  I can still navigate fine, so I know the buttons are there and working.  I just can't see them.  Even on a second and third copy.
    Weirder still, an older project using the same custom buttons works fine on the Blu-ray.
    I'm baffled by this behavior.  If anyone has any info, please chime in.

  • Text labels on buttons have disappeared, and the tabs have moved ABOVE the address bar. Why?

    Last night I updated to Firefox 29.0.1. Now, I don't mind change - and I don't mind redesigns - but I HATE it when options are removed. I want text labels on my buttons (the "Home" button for example"). In the previous version of Firefox you could right-click in the grey space at the top, and select "customise". From there, you could drag and drop which things you wanted to appear in your toolbar or not - and there was a tickbox to selext if you wanted text labels to appear underneath them or not. Now as hard as I look, I can't find this option. It looks like you're now forcing people to ONLY use icons. I hate that. My brain processes the word "Home" a lot faster than it recognises a little picture of a house. You need to understand that people work in different ways - and just because the Firefox developers might not personally use the text labels, that doesn't mean that no-one does!
    What is the point in taking away the option? None at all. Please re-introduce the option. In the meantime, I will revert to the previous version of Firefox.
    Additionally, I see that the tabs have now moved on top of the address bar. Again - WHY? I like them below. Why do you feel the need to make design changes - and then not give people the option to customise things how they like?

    Yes you can install the Classic Theme Restorer extension without a problem.

  • System Preferences Toolbar and Toolbar Button have disappeared

    My Systems Preferences toolbar disappeared, and so did the small button in the upper right that toggled the toolbar off and on. Any ideas on how to fix this without reinstalling OS X?
    I do not know when the toolbar disappeared (I don't change preferences often), and I do not know if any specific actions or software installations/upgrades caused the problem.

    iTBotB,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Quit System Preferences (if it's running) and trash the following file: Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.cache
    Then launch System Preferences again and check for functionality.
    There is no toolbar button on the System Preferences window. My toolbar only has the following selections: ←/→, "Show All," and a "Search" field.

  • Accept/Reject changes and Adjustment Brush Buttons have disappeared

    The buttons that appear at the bottom of the Development Panel when using the Adjustment Brush, Crop Tool, GND Filter, etc., have STOPPED appearing on my version.  I can accept the changes by clicking on the Brush, ND filter, etc, but have no way to reject the changes other than going back in the history.  Also, the button that shows the Adjustment Brush as a "painted" area has disappeared with the rest, and so I can never specifically see the area I'm attempting to work on.  I thought perhaps I did something that hid or disabled these buttons, but I cannot find any such action.  Any ideas on this?  Thanks for any help. 

    While you're in the Adjustment Brush, hit the T key.

  • Send and reply buttons have disappeared

    I am having a vexing problem with Mail in Leopard. As of today when I reply to an email, there is NO SEND BUTTON. The only way I am able to reply is if I save the reply as a draft, then open the draft and send it. If I try to simply reply there are NO buttons to do anything.
    Yesterday it worked fine, today is doesn't work at all.
    Has anyone experienced this or more importantly, have a solution?
    Thanks

    Scott,
    Click on View in the menubar, and check if Hide Toolbar is shown, or more likely Show Toolbar. If the latter, it means your Toolbar got hidden. Click on Show Toolbar.

  • Buttons have disappeared -- cannot add buttons

    I installed Firefox 4 yesterday. My buttons disappeared and when I click the "* Add buttons" it gives me a list of buttons to add but when I click an "Add button" nothing happens and the button list remains unpopulated.
    This is under Microsoft XP SR3.

    HI. I was just having the same problem. The way I fixed it was by going to iCloud in settings and turning it on for the Contacts app. As you may be able to see, depending on what you choose to enable iCloud with can affect your apps.
    I hope this works! Good luck.
