Annoying Weather Widget Problem

This is weird - my girlfriend's MacMini, running 10.4.2 has a weather widget that "holds" the info for the 6 days that are displayed. When it's empty she just goes on line, launches the widget and voila - 6 day forecast that stays there for 6 days. I have a new MacPro running 10.4.8 - same widget. But mine only holds the info for a day. That means I have to go on line every day just to reinstate the info. I don't recall setting up any "widget" preferences when I set up her system. Is there a fix for this - why the inconsistency in the widget behaviour? Has anyone else run across this problem? Nothing earthshaking - just annoying. Anybody? Any answers, solutions appreciated.

Hello killer:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
Type only Toronto into the widget. Press enter. A drop down menu will give you all of the Toronto options. Select your Canadian one and press enter. Presto, you will now have Torono Canada (option for F or C temperature).

Weather Widget Problem - UK Locations

Has anyone noticed that for many UK places, there are multiple locations listed by the weather widget for the same place (enter just the village/town/city then press enter to get the list of matches)?
I tested a couple and clicked the place name (to take me to the accuweather.com page for that location): the page was the same for both versions of the location, despite the widgets displaying different data.
Sometimes if 2 widgets are set up with each having different versions of the same place, they will be different enough to show day (blue) and night (purple).
How can i tell which place to choose? It's not even like i can follow the widget through to the web page with the full data to work out which is correct, as they both result in the same info.

Hello Richard:
Are you using the Apple weather widget? If you type in the place (just the place) the drop down menu will list your options. As you can see, I am not in the UK. However, I have not had any trouble with identifying a proper location. If you could provide a couple of examples, perhaps I (or someone) would be able to help.
FWIW, I use the weather bug widget - I like the presentation better and it certainly lists all of the options.

Weather widget and slide show problems

Hi
The site is www.heritageharbourcommunity.com
My site opens on a three column fixed page with header and footer. I have been able to define the area between the nav bar and footer as editable. When I go to incontext and try to make that area editable through incontext it seems fine until I test it. I receive a message that the area is not editable and I can make regions editable through incontext. Only the right most column has a dashed line around it. From that I assume the problem is with the weather widget in column 1 and the slide show in column 2.
All of my other pages are single column and seem to work well with incontext. Any suggestions? Thanks...Morgan

Hello MoBet,
InContext Editing regions cannot contain Flash or JavaScript content, so you should wrap the sections you want to have editable with div tags to separate them from this content. For example:
<div id="sidebar1">
    <div id="mysidebar1-1">

My weather widget keeps saying "weather offline" when im on wifi or have full service?

on my iphone 4 in the notification centre, my weather widget says "weather offline" sometimes, most of the time is shows the weather, but sometimes it is offline even when im on wifi or have full service. its so annoying. how can i fix this?

I'm seeing it too, and I know of no fix. So it's not just you. And, I'm in the US so it's not a problem in your country only.
I have found no pattern as to why I get "Weather Offline" but other times it's updated just fine.
Sometimes the Weather app refuses to update the local weather, other times it gets updated. I assume the issues are related. All the other weather locations I create in the app are updated, so I know it's not the weather server that's the problem. It's just the local weather in the app and notification center (or centre!)
Guess it's another iOS 5 bug. Let's hope it gets fixed in the next release.

Weather widget not working after upgrade to Snow Leopard (Australian areas)

The weather widget is not working since I upgraded to Snow Leopard.
The feed seems to have changed from Accuraweather or something like that to Yahoo!Weather, and Yahoo!Weather seems to have problems (at least concerning weather data feeds from places in Australia).
I live in Kempsey, New South Wales (Australia). I can't input that address, because it won't validate. When I try typing my address in the widget autocompletes with "Kempsey, Austral Eden, New South Wales (Australia)" (FYI, Austral Eden is a rural parish near Kempsey, but Austral Eden is not in Kempsey and Kempsey is not in Austral Eden). That address will validate, but there seems to be no weather feed: ie. I don't get any information displayed in the widget.
The nearest address that will validate correctly is "Port Macquarie, New South Wales (Australia)". The Yahoo!Weather feed doesn't provide any information about that, either.
I can get a weather data feed for Canberra. But Canberra is 800 kilometres from here.
I think I want to change back to AccuraWeather. How would I do that?

I'm annoyed by this as well.
I was planning on buying my father the Snow Leopard upgrade for Christmas, but there is no way he'll want it without a working Port Macquarie weather widget. ( I'm not kidding! )
I've looked at the AccuWeather widget as well, but it is really ugly!

Location Service not Working with Weather Widget in Notification Center

Is ibt just me or is the weather widget not validating locations? I have restored iOSS 6.0.2 and toggles location services (enable/disable) for the app and removed it from the notification menu. It is working on both my iMac and MBP. Any suggestions? Anyone else having issues?
Thanks in advance...Happy New Year!

I see your point.
Launching the Weather app updates, but that's not push, right? So it could be that the widget in the NC relies on push. But why does it need to? Why doesn't it request an update when I pull down the NC, just like when I start the Weather app?
It seems to happen quite often, not like it's a one-off kind of server problem. I haven't been able to discern a pattern, but it's often enough to be so annoying that I almost want to remove it from the NC.

HTC weather widget issues

For a couple of weeks now the weather widget will only say "Massachusetts" and not the name of the town that I am. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if anyone has any idea as how to fix it.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I'm having a similar issue.
I live in Brooklyn (Brighton Beach). Before the end of March my phone would display Brooklyn (sometimes even Brighton Beach (!!) even though it's not a borough. That's just how precise the the weather widget was). At that time, I had my VZW Location and GPS off, only had Google Location and either Wi-Fi or 3G on. Sometimes it also caught a signal from a couple of NJ's nearest towns such as Atlantic Highlands and Monmouth (not so precise, lol) but recently it just says New York regardles which borough I am in! That's very annoying. Turnning on VZW Location and GPS doesn't help.*228 option 2 doesn't help either.

My weather widget is set to California, and I am on the east coast. Way to reset it?

For some reason, my weather widget (the slide down screen) is set to Cupertino, California. Problem: I'm in Washington, D.C and there isn't a real reason for it to be in California....
I updated my phone, so it is the most up to date.
My locations services is on, and it is set to D.C, so is there any way to fix this problem?
Thank you so much!

Sure, bring up the weather widget and select it. Select "i" at the bottom right corner and turn Local Weather ON

Weather widget text moved UP

I noticed recently but only really investigated today. The text on my weather widget has all moved up about 5-10 pixels from where it should be. The temperature listing is now sticking about 5 pixels outside and above the background. It looks like the same font and I haven't gotten rid of any fonts lately. I don't know if this is related to 10.4.5 but I noticed it around the time of the upgrade. Any ideas for troubleshooting? Very strange issue.

Yes i have logged out, restarted, refreshed the widget. It's not just the weather widget now. I see that the address book widget is different, my iCal calendar widget has its text moved up, and goodness knows which others. I orignally asked this question on another forum and others reported having the same problems. I wonder if copying the widget from a computer not experiencing this would make a difference. It's really just the text.
You know how when the weather widget is loading the temperature has the - - where the numbers are about to appear... those are in the correct position. As soon as the numbers and other text loads it's significantly higher than those - - would suggest.

Weather widget for E6 belle

Hi gauthamkss,
If you install Accuweather from the Nokia store, it will allow you to add it as a widget to the homescreen.

Question mark where moon must be - Weather widget

When i go to the dashboard, the weather widget displays a blue square with a white questionmark in it a little top left of where the moon is supposed to be

Dear Grant Bennet,
I've tried that, I just bought my macbook pro last week and disk repair (even from boot) gives me only 1 issue with permissions that cant be fixed. It starts with System... and ends with Agent (something like System/.../Agent).
Ive repaired and it could not be fixed. The widget is still not working though. Yesterday morning everything worked just fine and I only used Pages in between.
Is there any way to completely remove the widget and redownload? Maybe an icon is missing or something like that?
I attacheted a screenshot so you can check.
Thanks in advance
Anyone else having this problem? (check attachment picture please)
Greetings,

Can't find Lima, Peru in weather widget

Can anybody find this city in the weather widget?
I have tried in 2 different iphones without any luck. I have family there and I would like to have this city added to my weather widget. The strange thing is that my hometown trujillo, peru and cuzco, peru showed up. can't believe the capital isn't showing up in the yahoo/weather.com widget for iphone.

I know. The weird thing is that I can get even smaller cities than the capital of peru, Lima. The iphone found:
Trujillo, Cuzco all in peru. So weird.
if you pull out the yahoo weather site you can find it without any problem.

Weather Widget Disappears

After installing Leopard, I am having two regular issues with Widgets. 1) My weather widgets (I generally keep two of these on my dashboard) disappear. If I have one or more open in my dashboard, it (they) slowly seems to "creep" up the screen until it's gone. Then I re-load new ones. It seems as if they're simply up off the screen somewhere, in which case I might have 20 weather widgets currently running.
2) my Webclips almost never load on their own. I have to click on them and hit Cmd+R to get them to re-load.

I'm also having the same problem. One thing I've done to clean up weather widgets that have managed to escape to the top of the screen before I catch them and move them back down is use the "Manage Widgets" widget to disable the Weather widget and then re-enable it. This kills all the weather widgets so I don't have any hanging. Unfortunately it means I need to replace and reset all the widgets. I'm running the widgets on a secondary monitor, so I wonder if that is related.
Some other stuff I notice, some times the widgets will move every time I open dashboard, sometimes only the first time after log in. Normally only 1 or 2 of the widgets though will move on me. I have 3 regularly set u.

Weather widget defaults to Cupertino

Hello all, I have 4 weather Widgets on Dashboard. These are for Bridgewater USA, Montpellier France and Bergen and Oslo Norway. 4 times of 5 when I fire up the dashboard for the first time i.e. after booting the computer from shut down, at least 2 or 3 of them list Cupertino- Now I know that I am a Machead deluxe - have had my hands on almost every model since 1984, this sort of flattery is too much to bear. If I spin them (i - icon) the location shows correctly i.e. Montpellier but on return to the Weather interface Cupertino is still there - with Cupertino's weather by the way. The only way I can force the weather is by opening the Accuweather site or by closing the Dashboard and re-opening it. Even this does not always do the trick and I have to re-locate the weather location by deleting the Montpellier that is there and re-entering it anew. Yet lo and behold - when I n´reboot again we are back to the 4 of 5 times etc. Any good ideas on this one??

Same problem here (had begun with Tiger). Having once displayed widget content and discovered that in moonphases folder there are only 24 icons (when there are 28 days in a complete mooncycle, I wonder if this could explain the fact that the cupertino icon appears frequently some days and then no more for a quite long time. For me the Cupertino appearing icon is always a nightly one.
May be somebody with more knowledge than me in software could check it ?

Weather widget date screwed up post 01/01/09

Hi. I'm in New Zealand, and as of yesterday my weather widgets are showing the wrong day. It's Saturday morning here, and any New Zealand (or Australian) city I add on my dashboard displays as Friday. Up until a day or so ago this has never been a problem. I've called a few other Mac-users in NZ, and they're all having the same problem, where the dates/forcasts on their weather widgets seem to have defaulted back to American time zones. Any other non-Americans having this issue? Thanks.
