My Unit Converter Widget is not right

I'd been stop using Unit Converter widget from Dashboard since many months ago, now it's getting very inconvenient for me because even after many OS X updates, my Unit Converter shows wrong information of the currency conversion.
Here's a screen capture image I took:
http://edrian.com/unitconverter.png
I tried to delete this Widget and replace from other Mac running OS X Leopard, but it still doesn't work right. Any ideas and how can I fix this issue?

I updated to the latest OS X 10.5.4 and the unit converter widget still not working properly. Obviously Apple didn't look into this at all.
I would recommend downloading this Currency Converter http://widgets.palple.net/

Unit Converter Widget Broken

Hi there!
For some reason, my unit converter widget decided to not work anymore; I am not able to select any of the drop downs but can type text in the textfields (not that it helps).
Anybody got any idea on how to fix it?
I have already tried:
- ⌘ + R
- Closing & Re-adding the widget
TM

Have you tried removing it from your dashboard, then adding it back? Display the dashboard, then click the large plus symbol in the lower left. An X will appear at the top left corner of each widget. Click the X for your Unit Converter. Then, drag another Unit Converter up from the row of widget icons at the bottom.
If that doesn't fix it, open a Finder window and click your home folder in the left sidebar. Double click Library, then Preferences. Find the file named "widget-com.apple.widget.unitconverter.plist" and drag it to the trash. You'll probably have to switch to the List view rather than Icon view, and make the Name column very wide, to find the file. Once it's in the trash, log out and log back in.

Problem with unit converter widget

I am having a weird problem with my unit converter widget on 10.4.9.
I re-installed my system, and now when I go to open the unit converter widget, I can no longer see the British pound currency, there are all these othere European currencies.
Is there anyway to get the British pound currency back, do I need to re-install the widget, and how do I do that.

Then I'd try removing & reinstalling it...

If it's one that came with OSX, you may have to get pacifist to extract it from your install Disk.

Unit converter widget on kde

does anyone use the unit converter on kde?
I have been using it for a long while, and it has been working fine, but since the last few kde upgrades, I cannot type anything into the unit converter data field, so I cannot convert anything.
anyone else got this issue?

I have found out why this is occuring, but I do not know how to resolve it..
The text that is being entered has a white font colour, and the backgroung is also white, so I cannot see it. If I highlight (double click) what has been entered, I can see the text.
This is also happening on the calendar widget (where the week no, and the date are entered in text at the bottom).
Does anyone know how to change the font colour or the background colour for these? (I have tried changing the clock backgroung colour, but this has no effect on the text boxes).

Unit Converter Widget and Dashboard

Hey
I went to check how much $25 was in US Dollars from Australian Dollars, and i saw that the US dollars had moved from the top of the list right to the bottom, and it no longer gave a accurate result, it said $1AUD was = to 1 cent. So i tried moving it out of the dashboard folder and putting it back (in a desperate attempt to make it work) So i deleted it hoping i could just get it back from either the leopard disk or the tiger disk but i couldn't find it using Pacifist. So now I'm stuck without it and was hoping someone out there could let me know why it stuffed up in the first place and where i can get it back from.
Thanks all who can help!

This happened to me too, so I went and had a look at the unit convertor code, and fixed it.
it's a pretty simple fix, you need to load up UnitConvertor.js from inside the widget bundle and find
function populateUnitSelect(select), inside of which there is a sort function units.sort, replace its lines with this:
units.sort(function (a, b) {
if (a.iso == "USD") return -1;
else if (b.iso == "USD") return 1;
else if (a.name < b.name) return -1;
else if (b.name < a.name) return 1;
return 0;
and it should work, It just ads an extra case for USD as b value.

Unit Converter Widget displays false Currency values

Hello there
Here is what happens:
No matter how many times I desactivate, re-activate the Conversion between two currencies are wrong; even though it seems to retrieve the latest data from Yahoo!finance.
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/624059/currency.png
Here is a picture of what gives 1€ = 0.178USD which is equivalent to US$1= 5.6€ !
I have repaired the Startup disk permissions a couple times already.. in vain.
Has anyone experienced this?
Is this related to System preferences' "International settings" ? Just a thought...
Thanks for your help,
Regards

this is a known bug caused by safari 4. you can uninstall safari 4 or try the following hack

Converter Widget giving wrong conversions with Currency

This has been useless for a very long time. Try doing a currency conversion of one US dollar equals the currency of your choice: Euro, British Pound Sterling, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar. The results are completely wrong. Not sure if the widget is screwed or it's the service the conversions are actually coming from.

Here's the solution to the problem folks. The widget is messed up under OS X 10.5.6. Thanks.
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090225162441861
+The Unit Converter Widget is broken in Mac OS X 10.5.6: the left and right pop-up menus do not match, and Apple's code assumes they do. On the left menu, the Australian dollar appears at the top; on the right menu, it's the US Dollar. As a result, conversions come out incorrectly!+
+To fix this problem, make a copy of /Library/Widgets/Unit Converter.wdgt on your Desktop, Control-click on it and choose Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu, then open the UnitConverter.js file in a text editor. Search for "USD" (with the quotes). There should be only one matching line:+
+if (a.iso == "USD") return -1;+
+Delete this line. Then, delete the else at the start of the next line, i.e. change the line from this...+
+else if (a.name < b.name) return -1;+
+...to this...+
+if (a.name < b.name) return -1;+
+Save the changes and close the document. I suggest keeping the original widget in /Library/Widgets, and installing the corrected version in ~/Library/Widgets, so that the system's version remains untouched.+
+*robg adds:* When originally posted, I thought this was merely a display glitch, but it's not -- the calculations simply won't work properly with the two lists not being the same. You can test this yourself by converting any number in the default widget as it appears -- enter 55 in the left-side box, for instance, with the left pop-up on Australian Dollar and the right on US Dollar, and you'll see that the result is also shown as 55. Clearly that's not correct. This hint fixes that problem. Sorry for the confusion.+
P.S. There is some speculation that the Safari 4 Beta has had a hand in this as well, though not sure how Safari 4 would affect the widget.

Unit of Measure BOX not defined in language DE

Hi Experts,
We have a Unit of measure BOX, it is used in a Purchase Requisition.
When converting this PR to PO the vendor entered has the language German(DE) and system throws out an error message mentioned in the subject.
I have checked in SPRO under UOM settings and found that this has been maintained for all the languages the path I have checked is SPRO --> SAP NetWeaver -->General Settings --> Check Units of Measurement --> ISO Units --> Select the UOM (BOX) and then in Menu options (Goto --> Translation).
Can anyone help me out what can be the other possible reasons.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards
Lucky.

Dear Lucky,
Normally this issue happens because a missing entry for unit in transaction CUNI.
To maintain this, enter the transaction: CUNI
   Click "Unit of Measurement" and maintain the following as below.
Unit           : XX
Commercial     : XX
Technical      : XX
Meas.unit text : Activ.unit
Please review SAP Note No.[15430|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/15430]

Unit of Measure TON not defined for language PT ?

Hi all,
I'm new to MM and to SAP in general and I have 2 questions for now :
1. I have a requisition which is set up using unit of measure TON. When I try to create the PO, an error message pops up saying " Unit of measure TON not defined for language PT ". Do you know what does language PT means and why does this error appears? When I try to convert the TON into TNE, the same message pops up : " Unit of measure TNE not defined for language PT ".
I also can not convert TON into EA...any ideas why?
2. How can I see the total value of a PO that has many lines ?
Thank you very much
Iuliana

Hi
Is this error "" Unidade de medida *** não definida em idioma PT ""
appearing only when you select Ton, or any other unit.
pl. clarify.
I have seen that you get this message when your loging Login language is Portuguese.
Any how Configuration of units needs to be checked in
Spro >General setting > check Units of measurements ,
( or pl. use Tcode -- Cuni )
I also can not convert TON into EA...any ideas why?
can you give me some more inputs, what erro are u getting ?
2. you can see the total Po. values in Po header details
under status tab view.
if my soln is found usefull
Pl. award me points
Thanks

HT200197 the colour on my apple tv is not right. itsshowing every thing in a grean and purple colour. i have restarted apple tv and changed the hdmi cable but the problem stiil persists

the colour on my apple tv is not right. the only colours are black white green and purple. i have retatrted my apple tv and chenged the HDMI cable all with no success.
any suggestions of what else i can try?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)
If this doesn't help, try it on another TV, if the problem persists you possibly have a failed unit.

Widgets Do Not Function in Browser, Only in Preview Mode.

I created a lightbox and a tabbed section on separate pages, and the wodgets do not function when I test in browser or or open html conversions in a browser. They test fine in preview mode.
Bill
Actually, the problem seems to be Explorer. Works fine in Safari. Frequently have to insert fixes for special problems in IE. Are there any fixes for IE's peculiar problems?
Also works fine in Mozilla FF & Chrome. Mulitple problems in IE with display, and Widgets are completely non-functional.

I am referring to the attached files, which are a Muse site conversion to html. I have had problems in the past emailing web info, so if you want me to ftp the files somewhere, I can do that. These pages have not been published yet.
The two pages in question are in the file. If you open them in IE, the widgets do not function. In the index page, the text in the New & Events area to the right are Lightbox links. In the cottages page, you can see the slide show in the main middle are and the tabs on the right in the shadow box.
The side show works off and on. The lightbox (index) and tabs (cottages) do not function at all. There are no error messages. IE does not indicate working links (no finger).
As I believe you know, IE has problems displaying things that other browsers do not. Dreamweaver templates, for example, include a blockquote instruction for html5 that is needed for IE to display certain items properly. Since the pages will function normally in Safari, Mozilla FF and Google Chrome, I conclude there is a problem with IE.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
William Gunn

Here is my site so you can see what I am talking about.

I also included a much better alternative than iweb rss feed widget but you will have to do much of Yahoo's Pipes studying.

don't hold your breath, those guys at apple should know (in five minutes) what the problem is by look at their own code.
