Maybe I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'd like to add calculator, weather, and stocks to my sidebar notification center. Using the new Yosemite OS. iMac is Mid-2011. I know how to add them, but I don't even see them to click the green plus sign. Please see pic. Apparently all I can add is 'social.' Am I not seeing something? Thanks.
iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10)
I have the same problem as you and I'd like to know how to add the widgets. My Notification Centre looks exactly like yours after I installed Yosemite.
Same thing here. When I log in as a guest user the extensions are back, so I thought it could be a problem with my user. I created a new user to check, and the extensions don’t show at the new account either.
It worked for me to log into Guest user and under that account was able to see and use the stock, weather, etc widgets. When I log back into the main admin account, it goes back to nothing. I've tried searching the web intensively, but have had little luck.
This worked for me, finding this solution in another forum. The Social widget is still null, but at least the other pre-installed widgets now show up.
Mac HD>System>Library>Frameworks>NotificationCenter.framework>PlugIns> Then choose your widgets that are listed. I just opened them there (they open in a separate window) and hit the green button and they are now in my notification sidebar.
Cool beans, but hopefully this bug is fixed my apple as well.
Double click on these widgets opens them in Terminal, and nothing happens, they do not appear in my Notification Sidebar. Am I doing something wrong?
You need to open up Widget Simulator in the Resources folder and then drag the widgets into the simulator for this to work.
Thanks a lot for your help! This solved my issue. 🙂
For me I had to make sure that it was in the icon view, otherwise it loads the console and doesn't launch like described.
Thank you!
Thanks for this advice -- solved my problem.
I've posted this in other threads andcas it mentions the 'Social' issue, I'll mention it here too 🙂
I went to :
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ShareKit.framework/Versions/A/PlugIns/
Clicked on each plugin in turn, opening with the Widget Simulator ignoring the error message and they were all appearing in the menus, both in the System Preferences > Extensions and the Safari Share Menu. I've restarted and they are all still there and yes, I tried the Facebook one and it worke
The above solutions for the Weather, World Clock, Stocks & Calculator are correct.
The above solution for the ShareKit.framework (Social Widget) is also correct.
To get the Calendar widget back online Goto to your Applications folder & right click on Calendar > select " Show Package Contents "
then goto > Contents>Plugins>com.apple.iCal.CalendarNC.appex
⚠Note!! the Widget Simulator must be running for this to work!! You can find the Widget Simulator in:
Mac HD>System>Library>Frameworks>NotificationCenter.framework>Resources
⚠⚠Please make sure You have a full BACKUP before any changes are made!!
Tks, works Great!
Using this thread I finally got all my widgets working. EXCEPT for the "Social" I'm assuming this is where we would normally be able to post to Facebook/Twitter/etc. Has anyone figured it out?
Thanks in advance. This thread saved whats left of my hair. LOL
