Certain codes in the stocks widget no longer work

Hi,
I use the Stocks widget to track currency exchange rates. Certain stock codes such as
USDZAR=X (US Dollar to S.African Rand)
GBPZAR=X (UK Pound to S.African Rand)
EURZAR=X (Euro to S.African Rand)
still work fine, but others stopped producing results a few months ago, such as:
XAUUSD=X (gold price in dollars)
ARSZAR=X (Argentine Peso to S.African Rand)
These stock codes validate OK, get added to the widget OK, and the graphs work OK, but the current value does not display any longer, as they still do for the other stocks.
I believe that it is the feed that is at fault, as the above stocks misbehave in exactly the same way on my iPhone, regardless of the many, many Macs I have tried it on.
Can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks for the prompt reply edmeister,
Your suggested fix made no difference and Talk Talk webmail still not working.
I:
Created alternative profiles;
Exported and Imported bookmarks - following all the instructions on mozillazine.
And:
FF 3.6 asks me to choose profile - fine;
But FF4 does not ask for profile selection.
I think the problem lies somewhere within the FF4 and Talk Talk webmail box. Back to you for your best efforts and any further advice. Thanks.
Ian

  • Do the widgets no longer work?

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I noticed that the weather widget and the stock widget no longer update on my Dashboard.
    Is this a problem due to the upgrade? Or is there something wrong with my laptop.... ?
    Thanks

    There is another problem with widgets, I used to see my networked cameras (survilleance) and I still see them, but they dont refresh, so I have no idea if its live or not anymore (I can see that when I open a website with them and I see them refreshing normally there but not on dashboard) that is very annoying. They should fix that, its really bad to have websites open all the time when you can switch back and forth to dashboard and was easier.

  • Anybody else also suspects the stock widget to mess up the display driver ?

    i've had many occasions where the first time i try to bring up the widget screen, it comes up, then immediately disappears. second time, it works. also, i noticed while in regular screen mode, some remainder of some other app (didn't know which one) showing up when I would hover over a certain location on my screen with my mouse. i now figured it out, and this turns out to be the stock widget. i removed it. stocks are down and the widget ***** !

    Hallo Mark
    Maybe you dont read this but in my opinion you should preinstall your unit with original recovery media. I have noticed that many different things can have some negative influence on some strange issues like yours. It is not easy to find a proper solution.
    In my opinion everything you have done is right but if there is no success backup your data and reinstall the unit. On this way OS will be clean preinstalled and I am 100% sure that everything will work again.
    If the same issue occur after reinstallation than . Something is wrong there.
    Bye

  • Youtube embed code in the lighbox widget crashes Muse

    Muse crashes every time I use the youtube embed code in the lighbox widget. I am looking for a simple pop up video solution.

    Use the YouTube widget from the Widget Library. It avoids this crash. (The next major update of Muse will enable you to once again use the embed code, if you prefer that over the widget.)

    THX.
    I thought that i checked everything, but not that.

  • Is anyone having problems with the stock widget not updating?

    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.

  • My Stocks widget is not working.  The graph part works, but not the stock value section.

    My Stock widget is not working.  No prices are displayed.  Fix?

    If it is the Apple provided widget, Yahoo! Finance, there have been a rash of problems lately - see the More Like This box at the top right.
    1. If you have any mutual funds loaded, try removing them.
    2. Try opening a 2nd copy of the widget. That has worked for me a couple of times.
    3. If you have a backup, try restoring the widget. It is normally in the hard drive/Library. It might be in your user folder/Libary also. See below on how to access your user library.
    4. Try removing the com.apple.dashboard.plist in your user folder.
    You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dashboard.plist.  Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Log out/in and test. If it works okay, delete the plist(s) from the desktop.
    If the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • Stock widget displays long stock names and large share prices wrong

    OK. So I am fiddling around with the Stock widget, I add BRK-A (Berkshire Hathaway, good bell weather stock) as a stock with the price of $136,150 today. And then I add EURUSD=X as a stock to get the currency exchange rate (yes, you can do that with Yahoo! stocks. Also GBPUSD=X and USDCAD=X).
    However when I do that the Stock widget formatting goes funky with the red and green price changes appearing to overlap the Stock widget border.
    I have the same list on my iPhone btw and it displays OK except BRK-A is truncated.

    I found iStocks. Does what the Stock widget is supposed to, except in brown.

  • Widgets no longer work, how can I get them back?

    Problem SOLVED!!  Ran Repair Permissions and restarted the computer twice, Widgets back and functioning.

  • The app store no longer works since iOS 5.1 update?

    Ever since I did the most recent iOS Update for my iPod Touch 4G (purchased Dec 2010), the app store no longer works. I know for a fact it is NOT a billing problem with missmatched security code on my credit card. I had that before and resolved it.
    This time, it seems that when I download an update to an app or a new app, it starts to download and then says "Waiting..." but in eternity. The download doesn't commence. I already tried resetting the network, powering off and on, deleting the apps and readding them as new and using different WiFi networks (FOUR) to make sure that wasn't the issue. Nothing seems to fix this.
    Any suggestions?

    Just put you finger on the camera and drag it up and Lock screen will shift up.

  • The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm.

    The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm. i find this very convenient being a microsoft product. anybody else wonder why this new version happens to not be safari compatible? does anybody know if it works on the PC version of safari? if not, i find this to be a blatant move on microsofts part to bias the safari browser (especially since its basicly new on the window platform). forcing safari/hotmail users to "have" to use another browser to access their hotmail accounts.

    I have been successfully using Hotmail and Gmail with Safari for a long time. For roughly the past month, that relationship is rocky at best. At times, one of the following actions suddenly opens Hotmail, but it is a short-lived solution:
    (a) Hotmail directly
    (b) Hotmail Home>Hotmail
    (c) Sign up to Windows Hotmail
    (d) Deletion of prescribed cookies, resetting, etc. - made no difference
    Both Firefox and Opera work fine with Hotmail - especially Opera is very fast.
    In addition, Safari and Gmail does not work with Attachments, but otherwise Gmail is OK.
    I suspect I have to wait for a Safari fix because in my case I do not wish to abandon Hotmail, and Safari is a given. I would think that Safari would want to stay competitive with the two biggies, Hotmail and Gmail, which must have large numbers of users.
    I certainly would appreciate any other suggested fixes.

  • Music buttons on the lock screen no longer work with ios7.

    on my 4S, when ios 7 was loaded, bluetooth music play buttons and the music buttons on the lock screen no longer work.  Hence, I can neither use the music buttons at the lock screen nor can I use the control on my car (bluetooth...) to change songs.  Volume adjust at the lock screen appears to work.  Can't pause/play or move to the next/prior music.

    I did see a reply on a similar post:
    You can try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    However, some onther users have reported the same problem so it it may be a bug in iOS
    I did the RESET DEVICE only to mine (i.e., did not reset all settings...) and it did work to fix the buttons (haven't tested on the car, but it'll likely be OK now...).  Certainly there is a bug somewhere that needs fixed...

  • My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

    My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
