Dash Board and Widgets
Hi All, when I first got the Mac, dashboard and widgets were driving me crazy. Someone, Anne I think, suggested I disable them if I did not require them. I do not recall what to do now but widget calandar is still driving me crazy and keeps jumping in from time to time. Does anyone else have this problem? Surely if it is disabled it should not be doing that. Advice again please and thanks in advance.

First of all i apologize for taking time to get back to you. Comcast didn’t give me my emails from yesterday until now. I do apologize yes I did mean system preferences. That is odd that it did not work. Did you choose the checkbox before it? Hopefully id did not remove the wrong one. Also as david mentioned an app like clean my mac 2 will help remove apps totally.

I found System Preferences so I expect that was what you were referring to when you mentioned Preferences below. I did get to users and to Login. When I looked at the items in the table strangely enough Team Viewer iis unchecked so I ccould not uncheck it. I tried removing it by pressing on the delete button while Team Viewer was highlighted but that did not do anything. I have also deleted Bit Torrent Sync from my laptop and that is even listed in the login!!! Any further help greatly received.

Hello Eleanor. To remove items from the log in go into preferences from the apple menu. Go to the area that says users and groups. In there select the log in tab. You can remove items from log in there.

Are you receiving VoiceOver via TeamView, or have you set up a Skype feed to the unattended/remote machine which is piping the audio back to you that way? Or is there another method?

I have just listened to David Woodbridge’s podcast on the dashboard and unless its me, some of the keystrokes have obviously changed in later versions of Mavericks.
