Mac weather widget change city always reverts when restarting system?

I go to the mac widget, change my city to where I am from but then every time I restart the system the weather location is Cupertino. I've tried removing the widget and then bringing it bak to the dashboard but it doesn't fix the problem. What can I do??

I am guessing we just need to help the app talk to what ever server it was talking to, or give it a new server if there is one out there.

The part in bold( v1 ) is the part i added. because a different widget that does work has that, as
what i am guessing, is the server it comunicates with. But I am having trouble changing the permissions
for the .plist file this comes from. It won't let me save my changes. Any ideas anyone ?

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,

Mac, second monitor changes to canvas background when I switch between full screen apps on my mac display?

When I plug in my monitor using a thunderbolt to hdmi cable I would like to use my moitor as a second display, which i can do, but then when i switch between full screen apps on my mac it changes what i have on my monitor to a canvas background. Is there a way to fix the display on my monitor so that it will always be accesable?

Apple:
This is how it "Should" work.
Each display should be treated as it own desktop. If you swipe on a desktop it should swipe through the hidden screens/displays. If your a user with multi displays connected to your Mac, you could have "Full Screen" Apps, Dashboard, Mission Control, and etc available to swipe on each of your connected displays.
Display 1...swipe, swipe... mouse over to Display 2... swipe swipe swipe... oh.. Display 3, swipe! All set for work or play!
This would be a well received "Feature" for the Worlds Most Advanced Operating System.
Cheers
I have seen apps (like MPlayerX and VLC) have their own "built in" workaround for the full-screen problems on multi-displays.

How do I change my Apple password - when the system won't let me?

Here's what I did:
1. Originally, my password was eight lowercase letters and a number.
2. Apple's required that I change the password to include eight letters, which must include a number and a letter with a capital letter. (E.g. password format changed from something like "password1" to "Password1".)
3. I need to revert my password to my original one. However, when I try to revert to my original password get an error message in red: "The Password specified has been used in the past year. Please select another."
How do I get my original password back?

One of the sites I routinely use requires the following:
As of (xx-xx-xx) all passwords shall conform to the following rules
10 character minimum
12 character maximum
At least one of the following
lower case letter
upper case letter
numeral
non-alphanumeric character (see exceptions below)
Must not contain any of the following
(a list follows consisting of fifteen specific prohibitions such as name, phone, cell, birth date, driver's license number, SS number, passport number, email addy etc, spelled either forward or backward)
several specific non-alphanumeric characters
two or more consecutive characters (e.g. Password1% is NG)
three or more consecutive characters from your last password (e.g. Pswojg9@# is NG)
any of your previous 20 passwords (twenty!!)
Passwords must be changed every 30 days
Good luck with that.
The purpose of this farce is clear - to absolve the IT department of blame should a password get hacked. If you write yours down as any normal human would be required to do (that's prohibited also), well, it's just not their fault when someone finds it taped to the underside of your desk. "It's for your security" is BS. It is for theirs.
The irony is that a password conforming to the above silliness is easier for a computer to break than a longer, but more memorable phrase - one intelligible to humans. To a computer, it's all the same: just a string of bits, and the more or them, the harder it is to crack.
So how bad does Apple seem now?
Perhaps one day, in a more enlightened age, the IT geniuses who come up with this nonsense will realize ridiculous password requirements hinder security rather than enhance it. From what I've observed of our species, enlightenment is not going well.

How do I change which programs start when the system boots up?

I want to delete a program from the start up sequence so that the program does not start up automatically. Suggestions!

System Preferences - Users and Groups - Login Items - highlight the one you don't want to start up and hit the minus sign.

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.

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??

When I startup Firefox, I always get "Welcome to Firefos" tab. I have tried to change mu options, but when I close Firefox, the options revert back to the origional options before I changed them. How do I correct thest problems??

Looks that your current profile isn't working properly.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

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.

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.

IMessage always revert picture change

Hello
I have been changing my picture on iMessage on my mac pro (late 2013), but for some reason, iMessage always revert it back to the previous image if I restart the laptop or the just send it to sleep.
Does anyone have the same issue? This does not seem to be the case on my mac mini
Thanks for the support
Regards

for the Points.
More Info on the process.
When you set up a Mac User Account either at the Computer set up stage for the Admin account or Later in System Preferences > Users and Groups, you are asked to choose a pic (from the Apple Defaults)
The List in longer and scrollable. It can also vary slightly depending on the Mac OS you are using.
When you then set up the Address Card that becomes the My Card in the Contacts App the same pic is then drag through as first choice.
In iChat (and now Messages in any Buddy list account) this becomes the first choice default.
The Linked selection tends to be the ones in those same places.
If you have changed them you will have multiple pics (At least three).
Recents also tends to show the ones in Use or have been in use in any of those places (up to the last 16 choices)
However, as detailed above you can change any of then Individually or have them the same by changing one.
Here I have my Bonjour List in front of my System Preferences > Users and Groups > Account and the Contacts > My Card entry
Users and Groups has a black and white side on shot, the Contacts app has coloured face on shot and the Buddy list has the pic I use here.

Cannot save contact changes in outlook, always reverts back to what it was before.

Cannot save contact changes in outlook, always reverts back to what it was
before.

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, to save the all contacts in Outlook, please follow these steps: -
By default, when you double-click on a contact in Outlook, the new
Contact Card displays for that contact. The Contact Card does not contain all the fields from the full contact editing window that opens when you create a new contact.
The
Contact Card also displays by default when you search for a contact. You can still open the full contact editing window when editing a contact or when searching for a contact. To switch to your
Contact folder, click the People link at the bottom of the
Outlook window or press Ctrl+3.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

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 run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

My weather widget keeps saying "weather offline" when im on wifi or have full service?

on my iphone 4 in the notification centre, my weather widget says "weather offline" sometimes, most of the time is shows the weather, but sometimes it is offline even when im on wifi or have full service. its so annoying. how can i fix this?

I'm seeing it too, and I know of no fix. So it's not just you. And, I'm in the US so it's not a problem in your country only.
I have found no pattern as to why I get "Weather Offline" but other times it's updated just fine.
Sometimes the Weather app refuses to update the local weather, other times it gets updated. I assume the issues are related. All the other weather locations I create in the app are updated, so I know it's not the weather server that's the problem. It's just the local weather in the app and notification center (or centre!)
Guess it's another iOS 5 bug. Let's hope it gets fixed in the next release.
