macOS Sierra: Widgets in notification center are not refreshing

The rwx (read/write/execute) permissions of the file are not the right ones (I wonder why ?).

You have : -rwxrwxrwx instead of : -rw-r--r-- (777 instead of 644)

To restore the right rwx permissions :

sudo chmod 644 /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.notificationcenterui.plist

To check the result : ls -l /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.notificationcenterui.plist

Thank you, sir, that's done the trick! However, the widgets are unresponsive again. Any ideas as to how to fix that?

I have no idea.

Try with my 10.12.6 machine file, here : https://we.tl/8lH413RcL1

Save your file to the desktop, put mine in /System/Library/LaunchAgentss, then use the chown command to get the root wheel ownership.
sudo chown root:wheel /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.notificationcenterui.plist

The rwx permissions should be ok, check both the permissions and ownership with :
ls -l /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.notificationcenterui.plist
What you want is :
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel (date) /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.notificationcenterui.plist

Then reboot.

I guess the files are identical. Thanks, any road!

Hi guys,

I am running macOS Sierra 10.12.2 on my MacBook PRO 17 early 2011.
Out of nowhere, my widgets (weather, stocks, calendar, monit) stopped working. They are not refreshing, can't get any action when click on them etc.).

I've tried to:
- remove them from sidebar and then install back.
- reset SMC
- reset PRAM
and nothing worked. I do not want to reinstall the system because of this, but I can't find any solution on these forums or anywhere else on the web. Does anyone know how to fix this?


All of my widgets work except weather. I'm running Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6
