My dashboard widgets froze -- open on screen. I had to close each widget. Now I now longer have one-click pop up of my selected widgets. I get a beep when I click the dashboard icon. I have to click the plus sign and open individual widgets. What happened? Can I get my simple dashboard back?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dashboard.plist
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
Dashboard froze. Can't single-click open anymore
