OS X :: Widget Disappearing From Dashboard / Day In History Widget Has Become Invisible
Aug 15, 2010
My day in history widget has become invisible when I open up the dashboard.. Invisible but not gone because when I click in the icon in the list at the bottom of the page it sort of semi appears on the page but disappears with an effect like ripples in a pond (,which is in it's self a fantastic effect) The cross is still there in the top right corner though.
Any ideas as to what I have cocked up now

I put "levelwidget" on the dashboard - it is supposed to make a macbook into a Level. Sounded interesting...now I regret! The widget is corrupted and now when I try to open the dashboard it immediately closes and gives me an error message "you can't open the application motion because power pc applications are no longer supported" How do I delete this widget so I can open the dashboard. I've tried to look up the file, but can't seem to find dashboard widget files. Â

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

And I cannot seem to easily use my calculator widget off dashboard.
It shuts down and beachballs. I don't get it. What am I doing wrong? Running 10.4.2 because I don't want the constant fan on as in 10.4.8

I dont think there is a Widget like this...and since I am no developer I won't speculate as to why. In any case, is there anyway to switch spaces from a Widget in the dashboard? Keyboard and mouse commands are not what I am looking for.

Keep a widget active without Dashboard
The Dashboard in OS X is a convenient tool for accessing quick bits of information or using conversion, translation, or reference utilities among many other tools. Depending on the task at hand, sometimes the requirement to activate Dashboard every time you want to access a widget can be cumbersome, especially since the Dashboard prevents access to other applications while it is open. Luckily, however, there is a way around this.
Dashboard supports the use widgets without activating the Dashboard interface, which basically prevents them from being hidden whenever Dashboard is inactivated. This is done by enabling the developer mode for the application, by entering the following command in the Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES; killall Dock
After this command is run, the Dock will relaunch and Dashboard will be in "Developer" mode. From here, all widgets will behave the same as usual, except now you can select a specific widget to keep on the Desktop by the following procedure:
1. Activate Dashboard.
2. Click and drag a widget.
3. Deactivate Dashboard (while still dragging).
4. Release the mouse.
This will keep the individual widget active while the rest close with Dashboard, and the widget will be kept above all other running applications. To reverse this for a widgets, do the same process in reverse order as follows:
1. Click and drag the Desktop widget.
2. Activate Dashboard.
3. Release the widget.
4. Deactivate Dashboard.
While this is a convenient trick, keep in mind it will keep the widget active and alive, which in some cases can use up system resources. You can check this by using Activity Monitor.
To deactivate developer mode, run the command in the terminal and replace "YES" with "NO".

I am looking for a dashboard widget that allows me to arrange my most frequently used mac-applications (Evernote, I-Tunes Podcasts or other locations on my mac) )and web-applications (RSS reader, Radio etc)in one section from which I will be linked to the actual application or webpage? Is there anything alike out there?This would help to stay focused when working on the computer as all the main research places would be accessible from one place.

I'm a recent convert to Apple. I'm just starting to play around with widgets. When I look at the apple dashboard website I see no way of searching the web site for a keyword like "weather". Am I overlooking something?

I upgraded to Mavericks and one of the widgets that was in the + area has been duplicated on my dashboard and I can't get rid of them. There is no 'manage widgets' button like there was in Snow Leopard. I can't get those little Xs to appear, unless I want to delete the widget entirely.

I finally go around to upgrading to 10.5 from 10.4. One thing that struck me was that I could no longer copy to the clipboard the result of the computation in the Dashboard's calculator widget. Something I could do under 10.4
I can paste into it. I can copy/paste/cut in the Stickies application. But I can't copy out of the Calculator.I opened up the .html and .js files for the widget and yes there is a handler for the copy event but its not getting invoked.

I am on a MacBook Pro and am encountering problems after the last Java upgrade on Lion. My dock will not appear when I rollover - so I have set it to show all of the time. I clicked on my widget icon to use the calculator, and nothing loaded. I was stuck on the screen and had to hard restart.Â

I have 4 weather widgets (the standard one that came with OS X). And after a restart, some of them have gone up a bit, or down. So as you can imagine with 4 of them, it can get unorganized if I don't move them back to their original positions.

So is there a Lyrics Widget that works with iTunes 10? I have found some that only work with older versions, or that only let you search for lyrics.

My translation widget isn't working. It just says "data unavailable" every time I type something in. Is it working for other people? I'm thinking that maybe the server(s) it uses is down.

I'm having trouble with Sing that Itune; it's finding lyrics for fewer and fewer songs. Which one is your favorite? I want one that automatically displays lyrics and saves them in Itunes if they aren't there already, but if I already have lyrics I don't want it saving over them.

I'm looking for a simple, one line widget that lets me update my twitter from the dashboard.
Maybe the Twitter logo, a text-box with char counter and then you hit enter and it posts.

I have no idea what has changed other than I have been messing with GeekTool today. Some of my widgets are not working properly.
iStatPro
VersionTracker
and any WebClip widget
They are all stuck at a fixed size (not the same form one to the next) and redownloading has not fixed the problem.

I'm typing from a Toshiba, a sad day indeed. Was hacking away normally on my G4 1.3 with 10.4.11 installed and saw an exclamation point on my currency converter widget. Last time I just clicked it, got an update and reinstalled, or it reinstalled itself after opening. Well, today I downloaded the update, and after clicking the icon on my desktop nothing happened. Opened dashboard and the exclamation point is still there. Since I don't know much and Apple has been so bullet-proof until now I dragged this icon on top of my dashboards in the dock and released thinking that maybe it would put it there. The system locked, and I have spent the whole day surfing an answer since now and I'm still stuck in the login screen loop and can hear the CPU working away.
