Hey, has anyone out there upgraded to OS X 10.4.2 and found their dashboard widgets are broken after the upgrade? Symptoms are: when I go into the Dashboard, the screen is empty, and when I try to drag a widget to the dashboard the widget disappears immediately. Clicking on the “manage widgets” button gets no response.
Send email to gregATpageswithin.com with your suggestions. Thanks.
Update: based on the comments in this discussion thread, I moved all the widgets in the /Library/Widgets/ directory to my ~/Library/Widgets/ directory. This solved the problem—now all the widgets appear to be working properly. However, the solution is not ideal, since my account is now the only one with access to the default widgets included with Tiger. If I come up with a more comprehensive solution to the problem, I will certainly post it here.
