Apple stocks widget not working
Over the last few days, the stock widget just displays blanks. Anyone else have this issue or know what to do about it?
Thanks

Hi there,
I just got off the phone with Apple Support after having the same issue. It appears that certain ticker symbols have been causing all stock quotes to fail to appear. For instance, the stock tickers VTSAX and VFFVX (shown along with the DOW JONES and NASDAQ indexes below) have been appearing with green boxes instead of quotes.
However, when I removed VTSAX and VFFVX, both the DOW JONES and NASDAQ indexes began to work:
Apple Support confirmed that the issue was not specific to my computer, as their test computers were also experiencing the same symptoms. The representative I spoke to forwarded this issue to the developer so they should now be aware.

Just changed Macs and to Lion 10.7.2. The stocks widget in the dashboard seems really buggy. One time after I entered various ETFs they would just disappear on a subsequent launch and the default Apple , Google , Amazon would reappear as well as the usual S&P 500, DJA, etc... Also, When I try to change the chart from 1 day / 1 week/ 3 months, etc. it just shows the same 6 month chart. Anybody else experiencing this issue?

Apple store widget not working....
the widget which lets you choose any apple store and then give you the daily schedual for its workshops is not working on my mac, ive reinstalled and and the same thing is happening, the widget shows up but when i have to choose my state/country and apple store from the drop down menu list, its not respoding when i click it and therefore nothing happens
any reasons why this is happening?
(widget is here in case you need to see which one i mean: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/shopping/applestoreeventwidget.htmlIt looks like the whole world is having the same problem with this widget. I've had it since it was first released, and it worked great, but recently it stopped working. I thought maybe there was an updated version, so I downloaded it again and, like you, I can't even configure the new one. There are several different threads about the problem on this board, so I think it's a server problem on Apple's end, rather than us. Either that, or the widget is unable to function with the latest version(s) of the Mac OS. Either way, I expect when Apple realizes there is a problem they will fix it.
In the meantime, you can go to the Apple web site and find your local store and view their schedule that way. Not as convenient, but it will have to do for all of us...

My stock widget is not updating on my 3 Macs, all running Leopard. It just has a blank green space where the quote should be. I've tried restarting and removing and adding the stock widget back to no avail. Someone in another thread said the quote service changed its web address; don't know if that's the problem. Never any problems with the old Tiger. Please help. Thanks!
A few days ago I removed the preferences (plist) file for the stocks widget -- which of course just gets recreated from scratch -- and the stocks widget seems to be working much better now. The blank numeric results are gone.
This trick did NOT work a few weeks ago, so the service presenting the data to the stocks widget has apparently made a change since then which only takes effect if you discard the now-outdated plist file.
The one remaining issue is that the time line for the charts is still one hour off -- as if we were still on daylight savings time.

Is anyone having problems with the stock widget not updating?

Widgets unfortunately have gone by the wayside since Apple introduced the App Store a couple years ago. No widget has received any official recognition in the Apple listing of Widgets since that time. So it is entirely possible the widget has gotten redirected. There are many other Apps for stocks. I personally like the Nasdaq Quote website since it knows mutual funds and other markets as well.

Dashboard widgets not working. I trash the dashboard .plist and redo all widgets then after a restart. Widget not working again.
Yes hello,
My widgets are not working as well, i looked on forms and it seams that the 10.5 update fix there problems. I also did an archive and install from 10.4... One of the major reasons i purchased the upgrade was to use widgets to clip parts of safari, i'am totaly bummed because all forums i find end with the question un answered. i'am a little bummed becuase there are a couple of things that worked with 10.4 that are not working in 10.5 (like some meg moives not playing.
i do not wish to create a new account because i do not want to reinstall all my software, photoshop, final cut, dvd studio pro.. etc.
i hope to find the fix some how.
I have opened up the console application and when i select widgets load or delete them i see no activity in the console. I'am not familiar with the console app. or command lines.
is there any more info on this matter? is there any support from apple?
Thankyou -
My Apple TV does not work and has never worked.
My Apple TV does not work and has never worked. I replaced it twice and replaced my router and DSL modem but no luck. I spent hours on tech support with both apple and my ISPs with no luck. Any ideas? Is the Apple TV a donation to apple? I have had the device for 8 months but it will not work for longer than 15 minutes before it drops with network errors. All of my other devices work perfectly on the network including 2 iPads, laptops and an old wii. I love apple products and this is the first real disappointment I have had. The Apple TV seems like a major dud of a product.
Seems unlikely you have had two faulty replacements, and more likely that there may be some network compatibility issue or problem with reception in the location the AppleTV lies - anything close to it that might be interfering?
I am assuming you are connected via wifi - if you can try an ethernet connection to rule wifi issues out.
Could you try it at somone else's house maybe? If it worked there it would point to something specific at your location.
You could try replacing it again I guess or seeing if they can offer you credit or a refund. -
My Apple TV will not work on my television, and comes up with a message saying 'can not display this mode. Change computer display input to 1360x168 at 60Hz', help?!

You may have NTP blocked on your firewall, or may need to replace/upgrade your router. -
APPLE TV DOES NOT WORK WITH NETFLIX
APPLE TV DOES NOT WORK WITH NETFLIX, just a black screen and "Netflix is loading" message appears. I can´t even see Netflix´s home page or set up my account. Netflix is working fine on all other devices at home, but in Apple TV.
I have tried the 8.8.8.8 DNS trick, the turn off procedure, the manual IP setting, but nothing....black screen still appearsIt started working.....!!!!! (It seems someone back there is listening)
I "forced" an upgrade, I mean it showed "AppleTV is updated", nevertheless I re-started the system using the "return to original configurations" option. Then it updated again by itself to a newer version....and started working perfectly.
I have paired my apple wireless keyboard and it works fine, this way is easier to set up passwords or so (you can also do it with your remote).
TIPS:
I didn´t change any language or video quality configuration (scared to do so)
I changed to ethernet (cable) instead of wireless
My internet plan is 6 Megabytes (it was the same while it wasn't working)
good luck!! -
I owned an Apple Tv and since I upgrade my internet to higher speed my Apple Tv does not work. Please someone help.
In most scenarios you shouldn't need to forward ports, however if you need to, you may be best contacting your ISP.
As with most router issues, I would recommend that you contact your ISP with details of your problem (assuming that it was your ISP that provided it to you).
There are simply too many manufacturers with different software features and settings and often different names for such features and settings, that the best advice will likely come from those that are knowledgeable about your particular router.
Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
