IOS 8 stock widget collapsing

Hi all,
i was wondering if anyone else was having a problem with the stock widget collapsing while looking at it. It seems to be an issue with refreshing. I feel like the widgets flicker when they refresh and then the original view is restored to the widget rather than maintaining the current view. Are others experiencing this? The Mobile Mouse Pro widget also flickers a lot, it's functional I guess, just unattractive. omnifocus' widget doesn't flicker. Is there anything that can be done about this?

Slide the notifications window down. Today>>At the bottom of the window EDIT. Activate/deactivate what you want to show/not show.

Built-in iPhone stocks widget does not "remember" added stock symbols

I add a few (3-4) stock symbols to the built-in iOS stock widget. It shows the info, includes them in the Notification ticker tape, etc. But after a day or less, it resets back to showing AAPL only. Consistent, repeatable problem. Any ideas how to fix this? I know I can always "get another app" but I was hoping somebody knows how to fix this one.
Thank you

How would YOU know that I haven't had this problem before, or that there is "no appreciable level of confidence that this would fix" it??
In fact, I did have this problem in the past, as well as similar problems with other apps and restoring is the best option. If that doesn't fix it, there is hardware problem with your phone or it's been jailbroken. (Your hesitancy to restore is a good indication of that..., or your lack of knowledge about iPhones and the iOS.)
If you haven't already, there is a small chance that resetting the phone (no data loss) might help, at least for a while: Press both the home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.

Weather and Stocks widgets are not appearing in my notification center

I just updated my iPad 2 to iOS 5 and the weather and stock widgets are not appearing in my notification center. I tried to look for them under the notificatns tab in the settings app to activate them (which I read in an unofficial article) but they're not there. Can anyone please help?

There are plenty of apps in the App Store that can do what you want, and many are free.
There are not currently (or at least I haven't found any) any weather apps that will appear in the Notifications Center the way the included app does on the iPhone. It's not a big deal for me but I can understand the people who want it.

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?

Weather and Stocks Widgets Offline, wifi proxy the cause?

While connected to a wifi network with a proxy server, weather and stocks in the notification center indicate offline.
The network has a proxy auto-config which is set up for the network. The weather and stock apps have no issue while connected to wifi using the proxy and cellular disabled.
As soon as I turn off wifi with cellular enabled, the weather and stock widgets work properly.
Anyone else seeing this type of issue?

I'm having the same issue. What is weird though is that it's only happening since I upgraded to the iPhone 5. It worked fine on my 4.

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.

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

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.

Stock Widgets

I seem to be having trouble getting a stock widget to work on my computer, either with MAC or Yahoo Widgets. I had the Stock Ticker Tape but it suddently stopped working and all I can find is a MAC Fidelity widget, which is not that user friendly. I only track the DJI average. Any advice?

Use http://www.charlessoft.com/ 's Pacifist. It will extract individual files from the installer program on the operating system installationd disc.
In the future always backup your data*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
So all you have to do is restore your backup in case you erase something.

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.

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.

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.

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
