In my "Stock" Widget on Dashboard, no prices are displayed, anymore !

I just get green-boxes, although the charting usually works.
How do I get this to work, again ?
I'm on 10.7.5 with all of the latest updates.

I have since upgraded to Mavericks 10.9.4, with no further problems with the "Stock"-widget, but I wish that the "Stock"-widget would have a "5-year" graphical-option .
BTW, "wordpress" is a notorius software-platform, subject to many recent types of malware !

Dashboard stocks widget

what is the time delay of the stocks rate reflected in the dashboard stocks widget. also, does the same answer apply to the stocks app in iphone?

AceNeerav,
From memory my Stocks Widget says that the quotes are delayed by 20 minutes although having said that I note that even though the FTSE data is changing (ie, that market is open), the information line at the bottom says that "Markets closed (5:54 PM)" which I assume it to be referring to the Australian market given that I am in Western Australia. My iPhone Stocks app says "Quotes delayed 20 minutes" even though the Australian market (the one I have selected) is closed. Go figure.

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.

Yahoo Finance stock widget stopped working

I am using the Yahoo Finance stock widget on Dashboard that comes with OS X on both a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion and an iMac running Lion. In the last few days, both of them stopped retrieving data. For years I have added my own mutual fund symbols to the widget to track my funds, and they have worked fine. Just to see if it made a difference, I removed my fund symbols, and suddenly the widget works again with the default stocks and indices that the widget comes with, on both of my machines.
I don't know what the issue is, but I was curious if anyone knows what is causing this. BTW, I already started using the Fidelity stock widget that is on the Apple widget site. The Fidelity widget works fine on both my machines.

When I've had problems with widgets I was able to fix them by deleting the .plist for the particular widget.
Either hold down the option key and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Preferences. Near the bottom of Preferences are the widget .plists widget-com.apple.widget.widget name. You can move the .plist to your desktop and test. If okay delete the old .plist.
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.

Prices Not Displaying On Printed Contract

There is a contract in our system for services. The conditions for each service appear to be properly maintained. When the contract is printed, the prices are displayed up through a certain outline group, and then after that a 0.00 is printed, regardless of the conditions maintained. I do not know what could be causing this.
I noticed that the problem started occurring at a certain point in the past. Using the Statistics > Change functionality I discovered a change to an Internal Memo that I think might be causing the problem. I have the change document number (80850330).
How would I go about viewing this change document, and do you have any thoughts on what might be causing this problem to occur, and where I can look to start solving it?
Thanks - points will be rewarded.

Hi ,
The PO change documents are stored in the tables CDHDR and CDPOS .

My app prices are shown in euros. How do i turn it back to dollars?

My app prices are in euros. How do i change them back to dollars?

Prices are displayed in the currency of the country's store you are in.
If you changed your store, you need to change it back to whatever it was originally.
Go to Settings->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID->View Apple ID ->Country/Region
Change it to your own.

Dashboard stock widget

I cannot add a new stock to the stock widget. I keep getting "failed to validate symbol". I have added symbols before, although it was months ago, and in fact had three of them on the widget before removing them. I even tried adding back the ones that were already working.
To fix the problem I have tried the following:
Restarted the computer.
Turned the computer off and then back on.
Taken the stock widget off the desktop, restarted the computer, and added it back.
Trashed the dashboard file in preferences and restarted the computer.
None of these things work; please help.

Same problem here.
But this has been discussed here before and there are some ideas here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2611759
although none of them is a straight fix that makes the Apple widget work again.
There is also this:

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.

Problem with Dashboard Stock Widget

Stock Widget fails to validate certain stock symbols (major ones like General Motors (GM), McDonalds (MCD), AT&T (T) just to name a few. I know these symbols to be correct. Certain others are fine…found by either typing company name or just entering symbol.
I tried trashing the stock widget plist (widget-com.apple.widget.stocks.plist) in users/myuser/library/preferences folder then restart. Still have problem.
Any ideas?

Rune Haugen you are right.
1) try to restart the opeations console with /clearcache
2) try to import the following MP again an make sure that their version number is 7.1.10226.1046
Microsoft.SystemCenter.Visualization.Library.mpb
Microsoft.SystemCenter.Visualization.Component.Library.mpb
Microsoft.SystemCenter.Advisor.mpb
Microsoft.SystemCenter.Advisor.Internal.mpb

Dashboard Stock Widget graphs affected by DST

I noticed this problem last year, but didn't really put two and two together until recently...
All the daily graphs for the stock exchange on Apple's default Stocks widget are correct during daylight saving time, but when on standard time during the winter, the graph has a straight line for the first hour and the last hour is cutoff, indicating that the open/close time is not being correctly shifted with the time change.
Is this something that could be fixed via Software update? Or am I gonna have to barge my way into the file and figure out the javascript causing this problem?

You can file a bug report with Apple here:
https://bugreport.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/RadarWeb.woa/wa/signIn
It might get fixed in time for DST next year.
Editing the .js is probably the easiest way to fix it. There are some comments there to help.

I am in need of a weather and stock widget, similiar to the ones on the iphone 4s, that allow you to display current stocks and weather in the notification window but i need it for the ipad2.

the iphone 4s came with a weather and a stock widget. these could be configured in notifications to CONSTANTLY display stock prices and the days weather whenever you pulled down the notification window. the ipad2 doesn't have these programs and i have spend a small fortune and time looking for this same feature. does anyone out there know off a weather and stock program that will let you program stocks into the notification window and then stream the stocks and prices acrossthe screen continously when you open the notification window. Also does anyone know of a weather program that will display the days current conditions ALL THE TIME, not just when the wind picks up or it snows.
the ipad2 doesn't have these built in programs and i can't find similiar ones in the app store.
Thanks for your help.

I have this question too. Have you had any replies?

Redownload Stocks widget?

I couldn't get the Stocks widget to move from the bottom of the screen (after clicking on the plus sign to manage widgets) so I threw it out, figuring it must be bad. However, I can't find a place to redownload it, at www.apple.com or elsewhere.
Can someone tell me where to get this? (Also, why wasn't it working? I've never seen that with any other widget. I did notice that it was the only widget I had that had a .wdgt suffix, I tried to delete it but it wouldn't let me [I even copied it to the desktop, deleted the suffix, and then tried to reinstall it, but it said it was not a valid widget then]).
Thanks

Go to http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/?r=dbw and then select Business from the category list, you should find what you want there.

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

Stocks widget not working

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?
