Widgets and accessiblity

Just starting interest in widgets. Googling around has lead
me to ask: Do I need to worry about widgets and accessibilty? In
other words, will using widgets make my sites inaccessable for
some? Should I use them? What is your opinion?

Widgets such as Adobe's Spry widgets, or our PVII Widgets,
are very
accessible. Problems arise when you use Ajax, which is
totally inaccessible
"out of the box". To ascertain how accessible something is,
try viewing it
with script disabled or on an iPhone.

Widgets and software installations

I would like to know if widgets running in the background as they do can cause problems when installing software applications or is the OS smart enough to disable them automatically when software (requiring no other applications to be running during installation) is being installed. At the moment I disabled all the widgets individually but don't know if I turn them back on if I should turn them all off everytime I install any new app on my machine.
Thanks for any info on the subject.

If you have followed the steps correctly and the button still does not work; here is a link to a forum thread which might help solving the issue:

My widgets and dock don't function like it used to - no ⊗

My dock no longer has a ⊗ next to it and I cannot access my widgets unless I goto home/library/widgets and click on the only widget listed there (business.wdgt).
Once I click on that, all of my widgets show as does the ⊗ but once I click back on another application the widgets disappear and I am back to having to goto finder to restart them and my ⊗ is gone again.
I am very new to the Mac so I am sure it is something that I did but cannot seem to figure out - any advice most appreciated.

The F12 key gets you to "Dashboard" -- when F12 is pressed, the display becomes grey and the widgets swoop in -- and the + (in a circle) becomes visible in the lower right.
The + icon allows you to manage your widgets.
The "Dock" is another and entirely different crop of icons, typically at the bottom of the main display.
You can use System Preferences from the Dock to set up Expose and Widgets in hot corners; when you move the mouse to one of the corners of the main display, you can set actins such as making Dashboard visible.

Password Protect my mail widget and sms messages

Hi, I am sure you have been asked this plenty of times, there are times when I loan my iphone to say a friend to make a call but I don't want him to open my email and read my messages is there a way to password protect my mail widget and if so how.

Sorry, no. You can only password protect the whole phone.

Wrong widget- and anchorpositions in Safari 6

I created a website and i tested it on Safari 6.
In editor mode I had to place widgets a bit higher than it will displayed in Safari 6. The pics from the widget is on top of the text.
(Editormode)
(in Safari 6)
When I publish my site and open it with firefox, the pic from the widgets are exactly in this position I placed them in editormode.
How can I get rid of that problem?
Anchor links scroll to different positions in Safari compared to Firefox aswell.
Is there a chance to use widgets and anchor links, which work on any browsers?
Thank you!

Back up all data.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
From the application's menu bar, select
File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
Boot in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

YouTube Widget and SmartShapes

Hi,
I am using a YouTube Widget and I want to use a smartshape to introduce or set context for the video - see pic below. The problem is that the smartshape does not show up when I F11 - view whole project. Somehow it seems to override it. If I take the widget out the smartshape works. I have tried to not have the widget appear until after the smartshape but that doesn't work. Can anyone help me clear this up?

A single button won't work because I need to put a few sentences of text. It looks like the z order is changed from what I have on my timeline. Do Widgets take precedence somehow? Is there a way around this?

Is there a way for F12 to pop up Widgets and not open apps?

I'm a brand new Mac user with a MacBook. Before I bring up my Widgets I like to clear the screen by using the F11 button. But when I use F12 to bring up my Widgits, it also brings up any open programs behind it such as Safari. It's a little distracting. Is there a way to bring up just the Widgets and not the other apps? Thanks!

Hi Tiffany:
You are welcome.
Ask again, if you have questions.
IMHO, these are the best on-line forums anywhere - and everyone is a volunteer!
I have a little boat that I use to float Wintel boxes down to San Francisco Bay - I light them - it is sort of like a Viking funeral (chuckle).
You will find that even if you need to use a Wintel box in a business setting, you will quickly find that Macs (and OS X) are superior in every way (I do not work for Apple, by the by).

Dashboard Widgets and Opening Apps

Hi, I'm having a hard time with my Dashboard Widgets and opening applications.
With my Dashboard Widgets, I can't click on the "more info" button. So if I put a clock Widget on my Dashboard, I can't change the region since I can't click on the "i" button. Is there anything you can think of as to why this would happen?
Also, whenever I open an application, it always loads in the background, keeping my current app in the foreground. Usually when I open an app, it loads in the foreground over my current app. For example, if I have Finder active and I click on Safari, Finder is still active and Safari loads in the background (inactive). I have to click on Safari to make it appear in the foreground and it's kind of annoying.
I really don't want to do a clean installation of Snow Leopard since that takes a good chuck of time to do. I tried repairing my disk permissions and reinstalled Snow Leopard using the installation disc to see if it would fix important system files but even after that my Dashboard Widgets and app opening problems exist.
Thanks for any suggestions and help you guys can provide.

Does anyone else have this problem? I've done a virus scan using Sophos Anti-Virus and nothing comes up.

Widgets and features in Sony Xperia phones not available in Sony Ericsson Xperia Phones

HI All,
I am using the Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V and my friend is using the Sony Xperia Sola.
Widgets and features that are available in Sony Xperia phones are not available in Sony Ericsson Xperia Phones even after upgrading my phone to android ICS.
Can any one please tell me, Why this difference.
Or
Is their any way to get those features ,easy shortcuts to some frequently used settings and nice widgets
Finally. If these are not available for sony ericsson mobiles . Please do give us those features as an separate update.
Thanks
Lokesh.

Hello lokeshkumarn
You are right, unfortunately some apps are made available only for certain models, also some carriers may request some apps to be included or be left out of their custom firmware.
Most of the additional widgets and apps are available in the Play store for you to download.

BI Widgets and Xcelsius

Hi all,
I've got a vanilla deployment of Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.0 Premium, with some Webi and Xcelsius content added in.
I'm trying to use BI Widgets, and I've found that while Webi works okay (ie can open a report up, drag a block onto my desktop as a widget), Xcelsius refuses to work.
If I have a SWF file in my public folders, I cannot open it at all. If I try to open a widget from disk, and pick the SWF that is saved to my desktop, it gives me an error.
Anyone have any idea what is causing this?
Thanks in advance,
Joshua Fletcher

Hi Fletcher,
I am unable to solve ur problem but I will suggest u to reffer few documents from the link http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/...
I hope u will able to get few benifits from this.

Certificate Widget and Random Question Slides

I am in the process of evaluating Captivate 4. Twice now I have had an issue with using the random question slides with the certificate widget. In both cases I converted a Captivate 3 course in which the random question slides and corollary question pools had worked as they should. In both, I successfully added the certificate widget to the new course (Captivate 4) following the instructions in help.
In the first course, only one question pool would work. The others simply showed up as a blank slide. I was able to fix that by merging all the questions into the one working question pool. Wasn't the way I had wanted to randomize the questions, but it allowed me to publish the course. The certificate widget did work.
In the second course, none of the questions pools are working and the published version of the course skips right past the random questions that had been interspersed after each topic area. One again, this course had worked just fine in Captivate 3 and with Captivate 4, without the certificate widget. I do not wish to combine all the questions into one question pool. As I noted, I published the course without the widget and the questions worked just fine.
This leads me to believe that I am doing (or not doing) something when I include the widget that is causing the problem. I can't imagine what that would be, but the fact that no one else seems to have posted this issue makes me think it is something I'm doing.
I am not using an LMS. I'm publishing to .html file that resides on our LAN.
I hope someone can help!
Thanks!
Susan

Hi Peter,
A number of users (myself included) have encountered issues with the random question slide feature - some of which is due to browser cacheing. If you can spare the time please use the web address I have included below to report this issue to the Adobe Captivate team.

Gmail widget and now iDisk???

Someone help please! I'm trying to find/fix my gmail widget and now I think I screwed up whatever the iDisk is. I don't know when my gmail widget stopped working but from the post regarding the widget problems after updating to 10.4.3 it might have been around that time. It won't show any number in the star at all (indicating new mails in the inbox). Before, if it was having trouble it would at least show two small dashes to indicate it was at least trying to access the mail box. Now it's just a blank star.
So I was looking in the finder for a folder based on one of the feedback instructions to get the widget working and clicked on iDisk and a box popped up about something changing and that if I click to "Change All" it would affect passwords etc. so I figured I should click on "Don't Change" but that seems to have been wrong. Now if you click on iDisk it says "The volume for 'iDisk' cannot be found." What in the world did I do and what is that anyway?
I'm so frustrated! I just wanted the widget to work again!

helodriver, I'm not familiar with the dashboard widget you had. I had one also "flures" that I ditched in favor of Email Notifier It is a toolbar icon that works a treat. Just download it, put it in your applications folder & doubleclick to launch.

Hi! I try to download a widget, and I get this:

I get this:
file:///Users/billyromp/Desktop/Screen%20Shot%202014-02-20%20at%208.33.22%20PM.p ng
Which is a screenshot of Apple's widget-downloading page:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/?r=dbw
...with a window telling me:
"(Such and such a widget)...can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer."
Dear Community,
Basically, I try to download a widget and most of them get me this result Some send me to some silly website. I'm on an older macbook pro running the most recent OS updated and everything.
What in the world is going on here?!
I try to play by the rules and look what I get: Unidentified Developers.
Please advise.
Yours,
Billy
