Change to Weather Widget

I am incredibly disappointed with the change to the weather widget. The appeal of the widget was that I could easily check the current and future weather without changing the channel! Now, when I select the weather widget it takes me to a muted weather channel screen that only displays current conditions, not future ones, and does not even seem to offer an option to see future weather conditions. THe absolute worst is that it takes me away from whatever I was watching and to get back to it I have to exit out of the weather widget. If I wanted to be redirected to a different channel I would go to the weather channel, not use the widget.
I cannot overstate how much I HATE this change. Is there a way for me to change it back to the way it was?

I also hate the change because when I go to expand the weather ,now I am getting Dallas weather but I live in NYC,what happens tried to delete Dallas ,but it keeps returning.

How do I change the weather widget location from Cupertino to my location?

How do I change the weather widget from Cupertino to my location?

Clcik on the little "i" icon in the widget.

Change the weather widget source?

anyone know if there's a way to do this? am getting weather from weather channel/yahoo, and wanted to switch to accuweather (my girlfriend's older mac is on that service).
do-able?
thanks...

Well, I'm running Tiger and my default widget is for Accuweather. If I click on the "i" in the corner it flips over and has a big Accuweather.com hardcoded into the image. I think widgets will probably need to be custom written for the source of the data and maybe back in Tiger days they just included the Accuweather one. If you want Accuweather you'll probably have to download theirs. Then too, the new one looks different from the Tiger one, but the new one works in Tiger so maybe if you like your girlfriend's the old one would work on your machine too?

Changing weather widget default location

Hello,
My Mom has a G4 running OS 10.4.11. She likes to use the weather widget (I never use widgets). However, the default location changed to another city. All I'd like to know is how I can change it back to the city or zip code she lives in. Thanks a lot for your time and assistance.

hi
What weather widget?
Identifying the exact app would help enormously with providing a solution.
Some of these have a 'rollover' functionality so you wont always see the component you are trying to identify. Move the mouse around the widget face.
FWIW- AccuWeathers widget has been playing up[for a month or more]. They have been cycling their urls on the site (witness broken bookmarks too) and mine has broken frequently, based on SQL or whatever location the widget has to look up.
It does restore, but IME has rebroken several times. Good luck.

Weather Widget Changing location

I'm new to MAC and I am trying to customise my weather widget, I live in Brisbane Australia, but every time I try to change this widget, it reverts back to Brisbane, CA. Any tips anyone? Thank you. G

Hello, gabriel4005,
See if this helps —
• enter Brisbane, Australia
• press the return / enter key on the keyboard
Three choices should drop down:
• Brisbane, Australia (Queensland)
• Brisbane Archerfield, Australia (Queensland)
• Brisbane International, Australia (Queensland)
Make your selection and click Done.
Hope this helps,
No Alibi.

How to change default weather in Yosemite Notification Center

Hi,
I just moved from one city to another, but the default weather Notification in the new Center still shows my old city. I have been trying to change this by going to the dashboard and changing the city from there, but the changes are not reflected. I have not figured out how to perform this modification.
Thanks!!

Hi robolivares, I had similar issue. This resolved it for me:
open Systeme Preferences on your Mac
Security & Privacy tab
Privacy tab
On the right hand side you can see which apps are allowed to access your location
uncheck and recheck the box next to the weather
You should now see your current location in the weather widget in your notifications.

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!

Updated to 10.4.9 and now weather widget doesn't work-what to do?

Hello-
Just updated to 10.4.9 tonight and for the first time since I bought this computer in August, the weather widget doesn't work.
Would anyone happen to know what I could do to get this to work. I am connected to the internet, I can access the accuweather.com that I think this widget connects to, I restarted and reset PRAM (not even sure if that has anything to do with it).
I just don't even know where to go from here to troubleshoot. Any suggestions would be appreciated... Thanks.

Just for the record... There is quite a bit of discussion about widgets. I only use the dictionary and iStat. I use WeatherPop in the taskbar, which resides in the taskbar...
It did it again this morning. I let it boot all the way, and then I went into system preferences to find the resolution that the display was using. It was 1400x1050. But there was a second display preferences window open. Basically... The computer was "mirroring" to a second non-existent monitor. I ran through the "detect displays" and it got rid of the second setting.
I've never had a second monitor hooked to the machine, and I've never messed with the display settings, other than to change wallpaper. I'm not sure how or why it turned on, but I think it's off now... Weird that it only did it every now and then.

The weather widget doesn't appear in the notification center for ios7

I can't find the basic weather widget which was part of the earlier iOS in the notification center. Has it been removed or do I need to change some settings?

System Preferences/Notifications - check the setup there. Also check the daily reminder in the Reminder application.
Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.notificationcenterui.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Weather Widget bug: doesn't display full city name initially

I have a brand-new Mac Mini.
The weather widget is configured incorrectly if you go through the default set-up process for Philadelphia.
I went through the standard Mac OS X first-time setup, telling it my location (Philadelphia, USA). This pre-configured my time zone correctly for east coast, but for some reason pre-configured my weather widget for Philadelphia, NY (instead of the MUCH more likely Philadelphia, PA).
BUT it just said "Philadelphia" on the widget, and in the widget settings, so it looked correct... it took me a week to figure out why the weather data was always so wrong. It was just on a whim that I tried re-entering the location in the settings (even though it appeared to be correct.)
Really, it should be smart enough to assume the larger city, but at the very least the widget should have displayed "Philadelphia, NY" in the settings instead of just "Philadelphia".

I can't help with a fix but I can confirm seeing the same behavior, not only with the 'snow' image but with others. It is very erratic: sometimes the city name underlines & I get the hand pointer on mouse overs, sometimes no underline but the hand pointer, sometimes nothing but a flicker of the hand that reverts to the arrow as soon as the pointer comes to a stop over the name.
Worse, this seems to have little to do with the ability to click through to the web page. Sometimes there is no visual pointer change or underline cue but the link is live; other times it isn't.
Try this: Cmd-option-clicking on the weather graphic icon cycles through all the graphics & changes the location to "Nowhere." Cute, but sometimes "Nowhere" sticks as the location the next time Dashboard is displayed, sometimes not. Other anomolies have been noted in other threads, too.
Bottom line is I think the weather widget isn't very sophistocated & is easy to confuse.

Weather widget

When I changed the cupertino weather info to my local city, I wound up with 2 weather widgets. Can I remove one of them from the dashboard display?
Thanks,
Olga

Hello Olga, welcome to Apple Discussions!
Yes, you can remove any widget by dragging it back to the Dashboard "widget bar" (which is revealed by clicking the round icon with a plus sign in the Dashboard) or by holding down the option key, moving over the widget and clicking the round X that appears.

Weather widget button temp display

Its always 73 degrees. Wouldn't it be nice if the button displayed the temp of your current location? wink wink

No kidding. It took me a second to realize what you meant, but yeah. If the calendar icon can change, why is the weather widget left static?

Weather Widgets in Dashboard Constantly Disappearing

I've searched this forum and find several articles about random widgets disappearing due to multiple monitors and what not. But my weather widgets just vanish randomly, oftentimes overnight while the computer is asleep.
I'm getting a bit tired of recreating them (I have several) every couple of days. And I begin to suspect that they're still running, so I also wonder how long before my processor is dedicated to running dozens of weather widgets that I cannot see.
Is this a universal problem or a symptom of something wrong with my computer? Either way, is there a fix?

Hi,
I've noticed this, too. Ever since Tiger, I've had problems with the weather widgets moving around slightly, sometimes overlapping each other, and maybe a couple of months ago (I don't recall exactly when), about half of my weather widgets disappeared (I have about 5-6 of them active). Like you, I think that it has something to do with changing monitor sizes; possibly if they are arranged on a large monitor and then viewed on a smaller screen, the ones with position coordinates that don't exist on the smaller screen disappear. When this first happened to me (I believe I was viewing on a smaller screen), I just assumed that the missing ones were beyond the boundaries of the screen, but when I switched back to a larger monitor, they couldn't be seen there, either. Sorry that I don't have a fix, but at least you aren't alone.

Weather widget for Canada

I cannot get my city of Vancouver, BC into the weather widget. I hit the i button and a Canadian postal code does not work. How do I change it to a Canadian city please?

PS I find Environment Canada's forecasts to be more accurate than the ones in the Apple widget. Apple's widget is predicting sun for Tuesday, and Environment Canada is predicting rain all week. I guess three days from now we'll know who's right.
You can sign up to get the EC forecast e-mailed to you daily. I get mine at 7:00am.
http://www.weatheroffice.pyr.ec.gc.ca/e-products/Disclaimer_e.aspx
Or you can go here with Safari: http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/pages/bc-74metrice.html and select "Open in Dashboard" to add your own widget of the Environment Canada Vancouver forecast. Not nearly as pretty as Apple's, but more accurate IME.

The weather widget not working - what should I do?

I change the city in the weather widget, but for some reason when I go back to the "home" page..... the weather is totally different. I live in Massachusetts and I know for a fact that we're not having 70 degree weather.

katherinee82 ---
I found out that there's not much you can do with the weather and clock app. It's hard to explain. They are just an icon. It's kinda like an "icon shortcut." You make a shortcut on your computer to access things you use on a daily basis. (i.e. documents, shared drives)
It's not like Windows 7 where you can have something called a gadget to see the time, weather and being able to change it to your specifications. It's sooo stupid. Why bother having an icon of a clock and/or weather if I can't see the time and/or weather temp??
