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.

  • 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:

    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 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.

  • The Unit Converter is ERROR

    The Unit Converter is ERROR with Currency Exchange
    i did send the letter to yahoo, please check it out, man

    no, the problem existed before, a couple of weeks already.
    I just checked again, on my old mac mini, w/ safari 3, same problem.
    I guess the connection to yahoo-finance (i.e. the data the widget gets from Y!) is somehow messed up.

  • IViews/Business Packages  for News and/or Unit Converter

    Hallo,
    are there any iViews or Business Packages available for the following tasks?
    1. News iView with the possibility to refer to documents, have user (role) specific buttons (Create New, Edit, delete...) and Subscription Services using the cm-functionality
    2. An Unit Converter, to convert some specific items like length, weights...?
    Please let me know.
    Sebastian Traeder

    Hi Sebastian,
    for the first request, easyWCM seems to be quite close. It's a business package which closes some gaps in the standard, for example that there is no connection between the PCD and the KM structure; that there is no internationlization feature in KM; that there is no dynamic switch so that users with the corresponding permissions are confronted with extra possibilities (like create/edit...) whereas endusers only see the content - and all this by using just one PCD structure.
    See http://www.easyWCM.com
    For the second request, I don't expect that there is a special portal solution / business package. But for sure you will find java libs / example implementations on the internet, which easily could be build into some iView implementation.
    Hope it helps

    Hi Yuval,
    This is related to Material Master -0MATERIAL.
    Not surebut I think the UoM are getting captured in material master...check it out...else they may be there in either MARA,MARC,MARD or any of the material related tables..check with Functional Consultant.
    Enhance the material master with the these UoM and then stamp them in the Cube while loading.
    Or
    Create a seperate master for this.
    For calculations ..you can also make Char as Key Figure and use them calclualtons.....Google how to do it.
    Let us know if you require any further info.

  • Translator Widget broken

    Has anyone else experienced a broken translator widget since the iTunes update? All or part of the GUI componants, both front and back show at the same time, and i cannot type in the text fields, or select more than english from the list on the bottom which stays as "undefined". How do i fix this without a archive and install? Is that the only way? Someone talk to me. The recent update 10.4.8 did not fix the issue as it said in the detailed info as "Translation widget improved performance". Thanks.

    I also have the same problem. I want to translate from German to English, but the to-field says "undefined", and I can't type in anything, either. And it would be really nice to have it back!

  • Tabbed panel widget - broken line

    Why does this happen with the tabbed panel widget (see pink arrow in screenshot)? I've tried moving the elements around and stroking the individual right element tab but nothing works.

    Under Layers go to the content Area and move the Textfields to the left and/or remove the pictures , after that you can resize the tabbed panel.

    Hi SSap.
      In the 7.0 you make this in the "transformation".
      more or less are the following steps
    - Edit the transformation
    - choose the destination InfoObject (0QUANTITY in your case) in the right side.
    - doble-click
    - A new window appears. With the "+" bottom select the Input-fields required for your selection (vg: for example 0MATERIAL and 0BASE_QUAN)
    - Then, in the drop-down box you have to choose "Routine with unit"
    - an abap editor will appear.
    - Write to code. You have to inform:
        RESULT - With the "value"
        UNIT - with the "new" unit of measure.
    Hope it helps you.
    Kindly regards.
