So sorry to ask what is I am sure a pretty dumb question, but I have downloaded widgets for my Mac OS X Tiger which don’t really work in the part of world that I am (India). I can’t send smses from the sms sender as no carrier here is supported. Now I want to know how to get rid of them, and the ‘manage widgets’ widget seems to be missing.

Best antivirus for pc and mac 2017. Every year there is one or another that stands out above the others.

Twitter, Facebook, Myspace Digg, Delicious and not to mention kepping your personal blog up to date. One solution for the MAC user are widgets, those small indispensible apps that run on the dashboard. Below you will find a selection of the best social media widgets for your MAC Dashboard.

I have to admit, after being pretty impressed by all the innovations that were promised with Dashboard when Tiger was released onto the world, I actually don’t find that I use Dashboard at all, unless I accidentally press the f12 key on my keyboard. Nonetheless, like you and probably like lots of other folk, I do find that I sporadically download and install new widgets because they’re fun, amusing, or ostensibly useful. Every so often, though, it’s time to clean things up, and to do that in Dashboard you need to launch Dashboard, then click on the “X” in the lower left corner of your screen. It’ll then push everything up and present the launch strip of widgets.

More importantly, adjacent to the “X” should be a new link “Manage Widgets”: If you don’t have that link, I’d be quite puzzled: I’m pretty sure it’s built in to the Dashboard system itself. However, let me step through the usual way of managing widgets, then we’ll come back to that issue, okay?

Once you have the Widget Manager running, it’s easy to remove any specific widgets you don’t want to have running in the Dashboard environment: You’ll notice that some have a red circle icon with a line through it: if you click on that icon you can physically remove the widget from your computer entirely, as shown here: Unchecking a widget just means that it’s still on your system, but isn’t launched automatically when you bring up Dashboard in the future. If you can’t get Widget Manager to work, then you can always delete widgets manually by going to either /Library/Widgets (for those widgets installed for all system users) or /Users/ yourAcctName/Library/Widgets (for those installed just for yourself). It’s pretty easily understood, I think: $ ls /Library/Widgets Address Book.wdgt Phone Book.wdgt Translation.wdgt Calculator.wdgt Stickies.wdgt Unit Converter.wdgt Calendar.wdgt Stocks.wdgt Weather.wdgt Dictionary.wdgt Symantec Alerts.wdgt World Clock.wdgt Flight Tracker.wdgt Tile Game.wdgt iTunes.wdgt Fairly straightforward, all in all. Hope that helps you out!
