Widget for dashboard won't download

From the dashboard I try to download a widget. Whatever widget I choose, I end up in http://www.apple.com/downloads/. At the end of the page there is a link to dasboard widgets and I can choose a widget again. But again when I click download: I get back to http://www.apple.com/downloads/.
How to download a widget?

Can you download the widget directly from the developer's website?

  • How do I download a widget for Dashboard?

    Trying to download a widget for Dashboard, every time I click on the download button associated with the widget it takes me back to the MAC App Store? Have tried on several widgets, how can I get it to download??

    There is some sort of "glitch."  Many of have experienced the same problem.  The problem has been reported and, hopefully, will be fixed soon.
    It is not you!

  • Download Widgets for Dashboard right from AppStore

    I think that it could be great that you can download widgets for dashboard right from the App Store on Mac OS X.
    With this great feature Apple will boost the popularity of widgets because right now if you want to install a widget you need to download it, unzip it and then install it another time, then you will see the keep it advice or remove.
    I love widgets and Apple need to do more about them, also by having a new section in the App Store only for Widgets there will be developers who will build better widgets and also you could pay for great widgets.
    I will send this suggestion to the suggestion email from Apple.

    rbtwrld,
    Sounds like a good idea!
    Instead of sending an email, try using Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback.

  • Flash player for safari won't download

    Flash Player for Safari 7.04 won't download. It's not an antivirus issue because it's turned off, everything is enabled.

    Chris,
    My problem was that while the installer downloaded, the installation process always crapped out and gave me this error message: "Error: Unable to proceed with the installation". Tried everything and none of it worked. I COULD download v12 of Flash, but noticed that it used a different style of installer that has a simpler, "chunkier" progress bar and overall look, and doesn't ask about whether Flash should check for updates automatically until AFTER the install was done (different from the standard v14 installer, which has a skinnier progress bar and prompts you about auto updates before most of the installation happens).
    Just saw your post, downloaded the installer from the macromedia link you provided, and it installed fine! Superfast. Done and done.
    In doing so, however, I noticed that the alt version of the v14 Flash installer from your link also has the same simpler, chunkier type of installer as v12. is there a know problem with the standard (skinny progress bar) version of the installer and Mavericks? This has happened before, and I'm now just realizing that the installs only ever work with the "alt" style of installer.
    a) Is Adobe aware of this problem? are they working to make a fix so that i don't have to pull my hair out everytime there's a new security update for Flash?
    b) Would you please consider posting your solution in a more obvious place? I'm betting there are a lot of other Mac users having this issue, but because Adobe help can be sort of a byzantine mess (not you, obviously, but the system itself) I'm betting there are a ton of Mac users that are just giving up, like I almost did. Making this issue known, and positing the alt download will save many people many hours of grief.
    Thanks for posting your solution!
    Cheers,

  • IPhone Stats Widget for Dashboard

    Looking for a widget for the dashboard that tells stats of your connected iPhone. I couldn't find it. Quick info like battery percentage, signal strength, charge cycles, time use, etc.
    BTW I couldn't find a section in the forums for Dashboard...really?

    iStat Pro or ministat2 - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • Hi, I'm trying to download widgets for dashboard. Seems every widget I try either says it can't find the server or says it can't install because its from an unknown developer. It's on the apple site so I'm a little confused. I've tried like 15.

    So does anyone know or have the same issue. It seems a little odd.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    When you download a widget, you are getting a message telling you that it's not from an identified developer. This message is caused by Gatekeeper > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US You can fix this issue by two ways:
    1. Right-click the widget and choose "Open".
    2. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General, and tick "Anywhere" under "Allow applications downloaded from"

  • Motorsport Widget for Dashboard?

    Hi all,
    I'm looking for a Dashboard Widget to check latest Motorsport results, qualifying times etc.
    I know there are some for F1 but I want Motor GP, World and British Superbikes...... Motorbikes really! I don't mind if it does F1 and rallying etc tho.
    I'd also like it to have a brief story with each headline so I don't have to click each story and have safari fire up to see if I want to read it or not.
    Am I asking too much?
    Thanks in advance guys and gals.

    Hi Pete, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I wonder if an RSS Reader Widget wouldn't work for you...
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/news/rssreader.html
    Or make your own...

  • Pages for ios8 won't download on iPad mini

    Every time I try to update pages on my iPad min, it gets almost to the end and then stops. An error message pops up that states that there was an error downloading pages and that it can't download at this time. It downloaded on my iPhone without any problem but won't on my iPad. Any ideas why?

    Thanks for the replay, James. Unfortunately, I don't think that's the problem. I've tried a couple of times today and I still get the same error: Unable to Download App "Pages" could not be downloaded at this time.

  • His there a widget for dashboard which i can use to turn the infrared functionality for my apple remote on and off quickly?

    As many of you i suppose, i have a universal dock and a macbook pro.
    Now because this dock and my MBP are often in the same room and both react to the remote, it would be handy if there was a widget which i could use to temporarily turn of my infrared port of the macbook, when i want to use my remote for the dock only.
    If i only want to use the remote for my macbook it's simple, i just unplug my iphone, but if i want to do the opposite, use it only for my dock while working on the computer i have to complete several steps in the system preferences before i can get what i want.
    So is there an easy way (i was thinking a widget in the dashboard) to get around this?
    thx in advance for your thoughts!

    Unfortunetally, No and no.  Apple TV is a closed API so developers are right now unable to create an app that is very compatible to connect to Apple TV.  There is also no remote app on the Mac App Store. 
    Let me know if this solves your questions or if you have any others,
    Thanks,
    Allen

  • TV Guide widget for dashboard?

    Im trying to find a widget that will show full TV schedules. Anyone know one for the U.S.?

    You can search for widgets at VersionTracker or MacUpdate and at Apple's Widget downloads site.

  • My Yahoo widget for dashboard

    The "My Yahoo" widget on my dashboard has stopped working. In the purple bar that used to show "my latest headlines" it now just stays on "now loading". Also, my new mail is not indicated. The "search" to yahoo works. Any advise? I did some searching and discovered the Yahoo Widget Engine, but understand that this runs on Konfabulator and not on Dashboard. I removed the My Yahoo widget/preferemces and downloaded it again from:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/news/myyahoo.html
    It still does no work. Any information would be appreciated.

    Can you download the widget directly from the developer's website? 

  • Itunes for win64 won't download

    I reluctantly decided to install OS 7.  Now, my phone insists  it won't recognize me until I update to iTunes11.  But, when I click to download the 64 bit version for windows, nothing happens--nothing downloads.

    Thanks--this is one of the ONLY times in history I was actually GLAD I had Internet Explorer installed on my computer!  It did work--thanks.

  • Updates for App won't download - not enough access privilege - Err = -5000

    I can't update any of my iPhone Apps thru iTunes. I get the following message
    "There were problems downloading some purchased items.
    For more information on the items that could not be downloaded, click below.
    There was a problem downloading “FastFood - Top Restaurant finder app”. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.
    Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."
    On the Downloads screen I see the following message. "stopped (err = -5000)"
    I can update the Apps thru the iPhone, but not thru iTunes. Didn't have this problem until I upgraded to iTunes 9. Also every time I start iTunes it asks for my password. Any ideas how to fix this.?

    Thanks but it's still not working. Also every time I start iTunes it asks for my password. I also have my iTunes library on an external hard drive though iTunes 8 had none of these problems. Another problem I have is that the screensaver no longer sees my album artwork even though iTunes still displays it. Not sure if I should try moving my iTunes library back to my boot drive.

  • Paid $10 for a book for ipad -- won't download

    This may be the wrong forum, but not sure where to go.  I purchased a book that is supposed to open in iBook, but it never shows up.  So if I go back to the Library, it shows the book and other books listed there (other books that never downloaded either).  All the other books say "downloading." But the book I just paid $10 for doesn't say that.  It shows a little down arrow in a little white cloud (one other book shows that too).  So when I click on that it says "downloading" again.  But pretty soon, it stops and I'm back to the little down arrow.
    If I never get the book, you can BET I'll never get my $10 back! Apple never believes anything, even if you show them receipts of the purchase.  I experienced that once and went through a nightmare trying to get my app -- even though it showed that I did purchase it.
    So here I am again having just paid $10 for a book, and it just never shows up.  I don't know how to get it to keep downloading or where else it could have downloaded? Said I needed iBook to buy it.
    Sigh . . .

    Check the size of the book, which should appear after the description and stuff. If it is a large book, will need either a very fast Internet link or a longer download interval, provided your connection is stable for the duration. Else the download will fail and you will have to keep retrying. The "cloud with down arrow" means the item has not downloaded successfully yet.
    For example, Getty Images "2013 Year in Pictures" is over 800MB in size and takes almost 20 minutes to download in my home's 6Mbps ADLS link.

  • Outlook for Mac won't download to my inbox

    Can't get e-mail to download to Outlook for Mac on my iMac. Works fine with the same settings on my MacBook. Not sure why it's being blocked... Outgoing mail works fine, too.

    Hi Dustin.
    Other mail clients such as Thunderbird appear to be perfectly capable of downloading mail in circumstances that Mail has trouble with, but I don’t know whether it’s Mail’s fault or there is really something amiss at the server and those other mail clients are just more fault-tolerant.
    Sometimes messages left on the server clog up the account there, or Mail chokes on a message it cannot download and that prevents it from downloading the rest as well. What are your Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings for this account?
    You may try first removing from the server messages that have already been downloaded. Assuming there is nothing wrong with the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded file (or if you’ve already re-created it), you can tell Mail to remove from the server all messages already downloaded by doing Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove now. Alternatively, you may remove specific messages by other means (e.g. webmail or the Account Info window).
    If removing already downloaded messages doesn’t work, the next thing to try would be removing messages that Mail hasn’t downloaded yet (you may want to try to download them with another mail client such as Thunderbird first, to avoid losing them). In particular, try removing the first message that Mail appears to be choking on. Actually, if there is a message on the server that Mail has trouble with, you may be able to identify it in the Account Info window. Don’t assume that it’s junk just because Mail doesn’t display it properly in that window, though. Try looking at its contents by other means (e.g. webmail) before removing it from the server.
