Yahoo Widgets Won't Run

Hello, I posted this in another group and have had no responses so I thought I'd try here.
I downloaded the Yahoo Engine and several Yahoo widgets onto my MacBook but they won't run. The Engine installs but none of the widgets appear.
I downloaded the same Engine and widgets on my Mac Pro and they run just fine.
Does anyone know why my MacBook would not run them while my Mac Pro does?
Thanks,
Lisa

Downloaded Dashboard Widgets won't run, Help.

Can't figure this one out. Widgets that come with Leopard run fine. Any I download won't launch. I have 4 user accounts, all have same problem. I created a new user account and the downloaded widgets works fine.
So, not sure what happened but all users created prior to a certain point don't work, any new users now seem fine. Anyone else seen this? Any ideas on how to resolve?

Most of the widgets in Dashboard weren't working for me. So far as I am aware, this problem started when I tried to add new third-party widgets (downloaded through Apple-Downloads) after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard.
This is what got things working again -- and was much easier than an archive and install:
1. I took a screen shot (command-shift-3) with dashboard open to make a record of widget placement.
2. I disabled dashboard with DashboardSwitch (http://braintrigger.com/software/DashboardSwitch).
     (It might be that a restart would have done the same thing -- but for me this was easier.)
3. I removed all plists with the word "dashboard" or "widget" in its name from User/Library/Preferences, and left them in a folder on my desktop.
4. I enabled Dashboard with DashboardSwitch. (I believe it's the case that if you use this program to disable Dashboard, you cannot start Dashboard though the Dock until it's been enabled again with DashboardSwitch.)
     (For those who simply restarted in step 2, I'm guessing all you'd have to do at this stage is to open Dashboard normally.)
5. With the old preferences removed, Dashboard loaded with only the default widgets open. I clicked the plus symbol, removed those I didn't want to keep, and began adding back widgets, starting with ones originally supplied by Apple, and waiting after each one to be sure it was working. If something didn't work, I removed it and went on.
6. When I was done, only two widgets still wouldn't work.  It turned out both were only designed for Tiger, specifically, and not for Leopard. One I updated -- after which, it worked fine.  The other had no update for Leopard, so I had to replace it with something similar.
7. I reset preferences on the flip side of my widgets, then used the screen shot I took in step 1 as a guide for putting things back in place. (Yes, that's finicky -- but I liked them where I had them.)
8. After I had everything running the way I liked it, I trashed the folder with the old widget and dashboard preferences, which I had left on my desktop.
Everything's working fine now.  I hope this helps someone else.

Yahoo Widgets Not Functioning

Several months ago Yahoo Widgets malfunctioned on my Macbook Pro. When I activate it, the "gears" icon in the Desktop menu bar appears for a brief moment or two, then disappears. The app does not appear to be running as no widgets are visible nor does the widget dock open. Clicking directly on a widget does nothing. I've tried to get Yahoo to look into this but their advice is to dump the pref files. Duh. I tried that and nothing changed. I've also deleted and re-installed both the app and the most recent Java update with no result. Could this be a result of a recent java upgrade? It appears as though Mac's widget engine has also had some recent failure– could the two be caused by the same problem? Advice, please!

apparently, they have added encryption to all their services, including messenger. I have also heard on another forum that they are no longer updating the program for macs and are recommending people use ichat....however, the older ichats don't support yahoo, only the newer OS does. Adium and Trillium also fail to log into yahoo chat as well.

Captivate 5.5 - SCORM Project won't run after Captivate 7 installation

Good afternoon,
I had completed a Captivate 5.5 project for a few months and as of about a month ago I have had Captivate 7 installed on the machine. Due to some widgets that are implemented in the project that only run in 5.5, I have not used Captivate 7.
I also have not had cause to reopen the project until recently to make some changes. However, now when I publish the files, package them in the MultiSCO Packager, and put them in CMS - it won't run.
I've verified that the CMS is not the issue: if I repost the pre-Captivate 7 version it works just fine and the only changes I made to the original files were cosmetic and minor.
Now when I republish the files in 5.5 and package them, the files look different, publishing all of the zips into a "Linear" subfolder. I couldn't help but notice that this is the same as Captivate 7 publishes except without any accompanying XML files. Why would Captivate 5.5 be affected by Captivate 7 being updated on the machine?
Is there any solution to this other than having to open the 5.5 files in 7 and replace every widget? This is a huge expenditure of time when I was under the impression that if 5.5 was still installed it would run completely independent of the Captivate 7 changes.
Any help would be appreciated,
Jaimeson

Don't be too quick to write off the LMS/CMS as the issue. You need to be aware that with Cp6 Adobe totally revamped their SCORM drivers so there is now little similarity between output of 5.5 to 7 in this area. It is also no longer possible to use Cp7 SCORMs in the Cp5.5 era Multi-SCORM Packager tool. They are not compatible. You must make sure the CP7 SCORMs are matched with the Multi-SCORM Packager that came with Cp7.
Once you get compatible SCORMs published, try uploading them to SCORM Cloud LMS to test. If they work fine on SCORM Cloud then they should work on your CMS (if it is truly SCORM compliant).
Your issue with the widgets not working in Cp7 might be resolvable if you update the widgets. Have you checked with the original widget developer to see if they have updates available? If you have several widgets of the same type and version in each project file, then there is a trick to updating all of them in one go (per project file).
See the heading in the lower part of this page:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-widgets/widget-updates
But be warned that this only works if the widget filename is exactly the same, and you are doing this from the same computer that was used to originally insert the same widgets, because the path to the external widget file must be replicated.

Table component crashes Yahoo Widget Engine

Experts,
I've been diving into widgets recently, seem to have found a bug and was wondering if anyone else has encountered it or has found a solution. The steps to reproduce the error is as following:
- Generate a kitchen sink widget from eclipse.
- Run it.
- Open the Table component example in the menu, maybe even click a row.
- Right click the widget and close it.
- A crash report of yahoo widgets pops up.
This sometimes occures when using the sort button of the table and only occures when tables are used. I have tested this on an updated unclean and clean xp install of a Dell Latitude D830 and HP dv9064 pavilion. The main similarity is that both use an nVidia card.
The machines are using Java 1.6.0_13, Yahoo widget engine 4.5.2, eclipse 3.4.2, XP SP3 Pro and Mediacenter edition.
I'm assuming the problem lies with the code of Yahoo (widget framework) or Cairographics (gui framework) but was wondering nontheless whether I'm the only case of this issue.

Hi!
I think that problem exist because MS SQL 2008 SP2 is used with MS DMP 2010.
But I can't create backup DPM databases - solutions described in article submited by you doesn't work.

DpmBackup encountered an internal error. Check the Application Event Log for the

ubleshooting information, see the DPM Troubleshooting Guide.
Can I do DPM database backup in another way e.g. SQL Management Console before reinstalling MS SQL 2008 and DPM 2010?
I can't lose my DPM server data.

Web page videos won't run

I have a brand new 27" iMac. When I try to run videos from the Yahoo web page or You Tube, nothing happens. Video won't run. However, when I go to the Apple web page, I can run the Apple videos without any problems.

Chances are very good it's an Adobe Flash issue. Apple no longer ships new computers with Flash on it, the solution is easy though navigate to:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ then download it and install.
BTW you also have 90 days of free AppleCare service, you can call them and they will coach you through any other issues you're running into. You can find the phone number in your manual.

Installed Leopard - Yahoo Widgets no longer work

After not being able to launch widgets once Leopard was installed, I uninstalled the Widget engine and widgets. Went to Yahoo site to download latest engine. Download shows as "happening". As soon as it's at 100%, it "disappears" (no desktop icon installer). What am I doing wrong?

Yahoo Widgets is not compatible with Leopard. The program runs, but none of the widgets will open.
Regarding your download, Apple changed the default location from the Desktop to the Downloads folder. You can change the preferences in Safari back to the Desktop. Once a download is complete, the Downloads folder in the Dock should change to show the file that was just downloaded. When you click on it, it opens the stack so you can access the newly downloaded file.

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?

CS3 installs but won't run

Ok - not sure if this goes in this section or not.. but it's a technical question.
My b/f bought me a Dell Laptop last week. It has the recommended minimum of everything adobe says it needs for photoshop CS3 (see below for 1721 specs)
When I installed it on the laptop - it was slow, but said it installed. But when I go to open up Photoshop, it opens the screen - and then just hangs. After about 5 minutes it says not responding and I close it. Any of the other programs that came with won't even get that far. I click on them and it gives the little "thinking" circle (as I call it.. lol) and then nothing.
I have read that CS3 has issues with Vista - but their site says the home premium should work. I've also read about 64 bit issues.. but the OS is 32 bit - so it's capable of running 32bit systems... I guess.
I called adobe yesterday after installing and reinstalling CS3 15+ times... with the same issue. I was on the phone for about 2 hours with them. Basically - they have NO CLUE what it would be since it installs fine and opens with no error messages. I checked the log files and there is nothing in there I see that says any kind of error.
I have disable windows defender, uninstalled McAfee and google desktop (all are known to cause issues with CS3), I have ALL non MS startup services turned off.. I have turned off the MS users control.. all suggested by the adobe tech.
I have installed using the run as administrator. Nothing. Created a new admin account and installed on that user and opened on reg admin account. Nothing. (again typical things that correct cs3 install issues)
The last thing the guy said was that it might be a video issue. I checked and there aren't any issues mentioned and no driver updates listed.
We tryed installing this on my b/f's laptop. He bought the exact one I have (except his is red.. mine blue.. lol) and it does the EXACT same thing...
So today we called dell. they say it's a software issue and won't answer any questions for free. Apparently only hardware support is free... But they won't accept this is a hardware conflict with the software..
errrrr
Anybody have any clues on this?

Rob - thanks for taking a stab at this.
I have tried installing from the DVD and also from the zip file. the zip file was extracted to the hard drive brfore I ran it - and I ran it as administrator.
And when it stalls - it gives the (NOT RESPONDING) tag on the window - which usually means that even if I leave it (and I have for up to 20 minutes) - still nothing.
Here's the update from my dealings with DEll today...
Dell tech support guy told me that it was a know issue that CS3 WON'T run on Vista and that Adobe is working the issue
Told them that I knew others that were running it on Vista and it worked fine. They had no answer.
Then I waited for the Technical support manger to call. This is after expressing my displeasure to the technical supervisor about them trying to pawn this issue off on anyone else but themselves. Why can't they go grab a 1721 off the shelf and replicate the issue and try to figure it out from there?!?!?!
I used to work on a network helpdesk.. if I tried to pull that crap answer without trying to replicate the issue and AT LEAST try to find an answer.. I wouldn't have lasted very long at all!!!!
The Tech manager told me to call customer support and ask for an OS swap (from vista to XP) because they don't know what the problem is and so it muct be a Vista compatibility issue
I call customer support. They say that they no longer will give out XP since it is a step backwards. And to install XP on the machine ourselves (even a liscensed copy) would void the warranty. They suggest I talk to sales about swapping the laptop out with a "more compatible" one. Which isn't a totally bad idea since I really do think it is an AMD/ATI conflict.
They transfer me to Sales.. ohh - you used the Employee Purchase program.. you need to talk to them.. and they transfer me.
The EPP people tell me.. ohhhh you didn't actually go through us since you bought it off the Dell Outlet store. So they transfer me.
The dell outlet store says they will be more than happy to swap me out to an Intel based machine.
Only catch is the Intels are more expensive. They don't have any for the price we paid for the amd's. Fot about $40 more I can get one with a slower processer, a gig less ram, no dvd writer, but with a 160gb hd. To get compatible to mine - would be about $150 more.
And they only have silver in the low end, and black or brown in the higher. Not that I really give a s@!t what the color is.. but it brings up the main reason I am sooo pissed abput all of this....
Why should I have to pay more money, settle on doing without option/features want/need.. just because THEY don't want to take the time to figure out what the real issue is?!?!?! Why isn't it them doing these calls and doing all this troubleshooting.. Why am I being peanilzed for THEM not wanting to do their jobs....
Told the B/F that I am done with Dell. That I don't want the laptop anymore and I don't want any other one from them. He says he'll pay the extra and get me the other one.. but that isn't the point....
Not sure what my next move is.

How do I install the FM10 licensing fix when Adobe Update Installer won't run?

Adobe Update Installer won't run so can't install FM10 licensing fix
This question is Not Answered.(Mark as assumed answered)
Aug 9, 2013 12:09 PM
Tags (edit): none (add)
Because FM10 began crashing with "fatal" errors whenever I tried to generate a TOC for a small (65 page) book, I researched workarounds and none of them worked. Now that I have delivered a crippled deliverable via Acrobat manipulations, I would like to fix FM. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, got some updates, and then received the "licensing fix" error that popped up in January. I'm wondering why this fix was included not in the updates. That said, the licensing fix package, first, would not unzip so I downloaded it again. I unzipped it but I got a message that Adobe Updater Installer could not run and after several clicks I found that file. I reinstalled Adoble Update Installer but it still does not run.
I am running Windows XP and have TCS 3.5.I uninstalled FM and RH but not Acrobat, Captivate, or Photoshop.
So, now what? Listen to my supervisor who says never use FM again?
P.S. Why do I have to enter a title for my question and then do it again when this page opens??

Give Adobe Support a call or contact the TCS team at [email protected] - something in your environment is causing the installer to fail (I'd guess).

Action steps that won't run correctly in PSE 7/8/9 (but did in 4 and 6)

I have a wonderful action that was written to work in PSE 3/4/6. It won't run in PSE 7/8/9. After fooling around for a while, I think I understand why. Adobe changed the way Adjustment Layers are handled. In earlier versions of Photoshop and Elements, Adjustment Layers threw up a modal dialog box. That changed so that Adjustment Layers now appear in the Palette Bin as a palette.
Here a sample of some of the action steps that won't work correctly:
Make adjustment layer
Using: adjustment layer
Type: levels
Set Selection
To: none
Set current layer
To: layer
Name: “Adjustment 1”
Set current layer
To: layer
Mode: luminosity
Stop
Message: “Move gray slider left”
With Continue
Set current adjustment layer
To: levels
In earlier versions of PS and PSE, the way these steps would work is that a new adjustment layer would be created, the dialog box giving the instruction would open, it would be dismissed by clicking "Continue," and then the "Set current adjustment layer to: Levels" would generate a model adjustment layer dialog box would open up which would let one make the adjustment.
In newer versions, since Adjustment Layers are handled in the Palette Bin, after dismissing the instructions, the action doesn't stop to allow the user to make change the sliders on the adjustment layer.
The action runs perfectly in CS4 and CS5 and throws up the levels adjustment modal box as it did in PSE 4 and PSE 6, but the action doesn't throw the modal box in PSE 7/8/9
Does anyone know of a way to alter the action steps to allow the action to stop to allow the adjustment and then to resume again?

Adding a new levels adjustment layer on top of the Midtone contrast layer
should work, just use a clipping mask to restrict the adjustments to the
areas of the levels adjustment layer below. The histogram will be different, but
actually testing the action is really the only way to know if that makes any difference.
Replacing the levels adjustment layer is another option, though it requires a few more steps.
The following assumes when the action gets to this point,
the Midtone contrast adjustment layer is the active (selected) layer.
To record this part of the action:
1. Duplicate current channel (in the channels panel. drag the Midtone contrast mask
    down to the Create new channel icon at the bottom of the channels panel)
2. Ctrl+click on the newly created channel (Midtone contrast mask copy)
    This loads the selection of that channel.
3. Drag the new channel (midtone contrast mask copy) to the trash icon at the bottom
   of the channels panel.
4. Back in the layers panel, delete the Midtone Contrast adjustment layer.
5. Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Levels
    This creates a new levels adjustment layer using the selection loaded from
    the duplicated channel and opens the levels dialog.
To load the RGB (composite) as a selection, Ctrl+click on the rgb in the channels panel
and the same is true for the red, green and blue channels.
With layer masks, elements doesn't seem to want to load them as selections in actions,
so that's the reason for the action steps above.

CS2 won't run

CS2 won't run, says activation code no longer usable. Been running win7 on this system 3 years. Adobe says it won't activate in win7. Well, it did, and ran just fine. what's up?

I assume when you say "Adobe says it won't activate in win7" that you talked to customer support....
A drive change could trigger the need for reactivation. Did you tell them that you're running from a mirrored drive?
It sounds to me that they're being aggressive about trying to get you to upgrade when they should still be supporting you with active maintenance of their activation database.
But unfortunately if you can't get them to adjust their database you're out of luck.

I have a Windows 2003 Server 64-Bit, and when I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 now it won't run, it keeps saying to restart to complete the installation, but I've restarted theserver 4 times, and I still can't use it.

I have a Windows 2003 Server 64-Bit, and when I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 now it won't run, it keeps saying to restart the computer to complete the installation, but I've restarted theserver 4 times, and I still can't use it.

I ended up putting it in DFU mode. It's kinda hard to tell it was in DFU mode because nothing showed on the screen, it was just black, but the sounds from the computer helped to tell me it was connected.
Itunes still didn't recognize the device for whatever reason.
So I used redsn0w. I don't know if I can say that on these forums, but considering itunes was worthless at this point I am going to give credit where credit is due.
Now I am giving itunes a second chance to upgrade to 5.1, if it doesn't work, well, back to redsnow and maybe I will even jailbreak it this time rather than just using the fecovery fix found under extras.

How do I roll-back to the previous version of Firefox? An auto update occurred and now one of the programs used at the office (ACT! v6.0 SwiftMail) won't run with the browser.

The office I work in uses a very old version of ACT!, an accounting package. This package has a component called SwiftPage, an antiquated email system that enables us to email from the ACT DB. SwiftPage runs via the web browser.
Firefox just did an auto update (that I will have to find out how to turn off) and now SwiftPage won't run as it is not compatible.
Can I "roll-back" my version of Firefox or do I have to uninstall and try to re-install an older version?
HELP!

Try loading and using the add-on from this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
Many add-ons do in fact work if you force them to run. The procedure to roll-back is given in this article: [[installing previous versions of firefox]]
Unfortunately the official Firefox policy is that you downgrade to 3.6 which is supported for a while longer, and not the now unsupported Firefox 4. If after installing and running the ''add-on compatibility reporter'' you still have problems there are ways around the official policy.
I think it is absurd that Firefox 4 may be used by tens of millions of users one day and a few days later those that upgrade to Firefox 5 should be not only told not to use a now unsupported browser, if they need to revert due to problems, but are actually obstructed in attempts to do so.

I had the same problem on CentOS 6.2 x86_64, albeit not on EC2. It seems that the installer creates a symlink to the i686 libpcap (libcap.so.1 -> /lib/libcap.so.2) and fmsedge won't run with it. Manually removing that symlink and instead linking to the libcap.so.2 in /lib64 solved the problem for me.
cd /opt/adobe/fms
rm libcap.so.1
ln -s /lib64/libcap.so.2 libcap.so.1
