Widgets don't always work - help please!

When I open dashboard, all of my widgets appear, however, some of them don't always work. For example, I have two weather widgets for two different cities - sometimes they both show the forecast, sometimes only one, sometimes neither. Furthermore, if I remove the widget and then re-add it, it will then successfully show the forecast. If I click the little "i" and resubmit the city, it still fails. I must reload the widget for it to work. The same goes for my ESPN widgets. Sometimes they retrieve scores, and other times they are "unable," but work just fine if I close them and reopen them. Some more widgets I have problems with occasionally are the ski report, stock report, as well as my family guy quote widget. It really seems rather random when they will and won't work. How can I fix this?
i tried repairing disk permission as well as deleting the widget files in the library/preferences folder, but the same problem still occurs.

Hi Michael, have you tried navigating to ~(yourhome)/Library/Preferences and deleting the "widget-com.apple.widget.worldclock.plist" and others you are experiencing issues with? Log out and back, in or restart, then relaunch widgets and test.

    Ok. You don't have to select your number. Just check your email under your "grey" number and then at the bottom of this page you will see the option "Start new conversations from". Select your number.

  • N95 screen lights don't always work

    Hi guys just got my nokia replacement but the screen lights don't always work. They work sometimes then go off. Any ideas?
    Its not who i am underneath. But what i do that defines me.
    You are here for a reason Superman.
    "Come to me son of Jor-EL. KNEEL BEFORE ZOD"

    When you say it doesn't always work, are there certain steps you can reproduce to make it work (or not as the case may be ?)
    The only thing I can suggest is formatting your N95 by using the *#7370# code and NOT restoring any backup and seeing if the problem still happens - if it does you have a hardware fault and you should approach your local Nokia Service Centre.
    So far from the v12 firmware thread I don't think anyone has reported the backlight not working as a known problem.

  • Links Don't Always Work!

    When I send a link in an email, it doesn't always work properly
    when the recipient clicks it.
    9 times out of 10 they get a "Page Not Found" error report.
    yet the address in the link is good and works if pasted into
    the browser address window, the odd link does get through
    and works properly, but that may be only one in twenty.
    I have sent myself many test messages including to Gmail and
    the results are the same, but if I send the message from Gmail,
    all links work as the should.
    I contacted BT Help Desk in chat and got somebody in India who
    after about 20 minutes gave up and reported a BroadBand problem
    reported by me, but I have heard no more in almost two weeks.
    I have run many AV Scans using different programmes all come up
    clean, but the problem is still there.
    I am using BT/Yahoo on an machine running XP Pro which was fully
    up to date when the support finished.
    Has anybody else had this problem, if so, is there a fix inplace?
    Thank you for any help you can give me.
    Regards.
    Mike.

  • Stuck on apple logo and Home button doesn't work, help please?

    Well, I dropped my iPod Touch 4g by accident and since that day, the home button hasn't really been working that well. Its very hard to use since you have to press it in really hard to get it to work and sometimes it doesn't even work at all. Anways, I was skyping with my girl and I didn't notice that I had to charge the iPod and it died on me so I was like what ever its normal and started to charge it. When it turned on, it got stuck on the Apple logo and its been there for more than a day now? What can I do? I know about the Press Home + Sleep button together but the Home button doesn't work at all anymore. I tried everything really. I tried to connect it to itunes and see if I could restore it but it won't recognize it no matter where I connect it. Tried it on 3 different computers and none worked at all.  I can't take it to an Apple store since there isn't any close to where I live and I really don't have anyone to take me there. So is there any other solution to fix my problem at home? or is it messed up completely? Someone please help me

    I have this same issue. But also, it isn't just that the lock/home button stops working, all buttons stop working. Even if you switch it to silent sounds are still played. I just got my iphone Thursday. Went to school the next day and pulled it out, it happened while it was locked I guess because my screen was black and I couldn't do anything! Thought it died already! This was around 12. Finally I pulled it out of my pocket again at around 3 and it showed the Apple logo and acted like it had just started back up. Which is what always happens after I get stuck playing a game or something. Help please, has happened two or three times just today.

  • Ribbon controls don't always work in document library - SP2013

    Sometimes the Ribbon controls are greyed out in my document libraries, when you press the buttons, nothing happens.  This doesn't always happen though....sometimes the buttons work just fine.  Other times I get "This control is currently disabled". 
    Also, the edit menu doesn't work right either, sometimes (again not always) the second set of " ... " in the edit menu doesn't work, you press the button and nothing happens.  
    Usually if I close IE and go back into the site, everything works fine for a little while then it starts happening again.
    The "New Document", "Upload Document" and "New Folder" buttons seem to ALWAYS work in the libraries.
    I have full control of the site and library, and this happens for multiple users, on multiple libraries and multiple site collections, not just one.
    I was assuming it's an IE or javascript issue but the exact same thing happens in Chrome and Firefox.
    I'm using IE 10 and Windows 7, SharePoint 2013, Office 2013.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    From your description, the ribbon sometimes is not available until restarting browser. Does refreshing the page help to improve the situation?
    Please ensure there is no networking latency in the environment, and requirements are met per:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485(v=office.15).aspx
    Please add SharePoint site to compatibility view in IE.
    Did you make customization to .aspx page that might cause the issue?

    Hi guys, please help me. my son's mini ipad cannot be unlocked because the touchsreen is not responding.. help please. thank you.

    A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
