Mac OS X 10.5: Dashboard widgets issues with Parental Controls and Fast User Switching enabled Issue or symptom After switching (via Fast User Switching) to or from an account that has Parental Controls enabled, you may not be able to access your Dashboard widgets any longer, even while using an account that does not have Parental Controls enabled.
Products affected • Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard • Dashboard and Parental Controls
Solution As a workaround, avoid using Fast User Switching to switch between user accounts with and without Parental Controls enabled (you can disable Fast User Switching in Account preferences' Login Options pane).
If you are affected by this issue:
• Temporarily deselect Parental Controls' "Only allow selected applications" option in the account(s) that use it viaParental Controls preferences in System Preferences. This will restore access to widgets for all users. • Re-enable Parental Controls' "Only allow selected applications" for the account(s) that use it. Note: If you switch (again) via Fast User Switching to a user with Parental Controls enabled, this issue will return.
This document will be updated as more information becomes available.
