Weather Widget and WiFi Networks

I have a non-critical issue with my weather widgets. While using my iBook at home they work fine, but while using a few select wireless networks away from home the weather widgets fail to pull down the current conditions. All of the other widgets that are network dependent seem to work just fine. Can anyone shed some light on what my problem might be?
Dual 450 MHZ   Mac OS X (10.4)  

That may be it, but sometimes I have been on a wireless network for over an hour and they never update, while all of the other widgets seem to update just fine.
I did notice an odd issue at one particular hotspot, I could not access the Apple home page. I wonder if at this hotspot they have blocked some sites, although I can not imagine for the life of me why they would block the Apple site.
Thanks for your input.

  • Time Capsule set up and wifi network OK but MacBook doesn't see capsule as airport device.  Do I need to do a hard reset and start again?

    I recently bought a Time Capsule and sucessfully set it up in accordance with the instruction book.  The home network and guest network seem to work fine but my MacBook cannot find the Time Capsule wirelessley.
    Initially I set up the time capsule connected to the MacBook with an ethernet cable.  The Time Machine got 30GB way through a 60GB initial back up and then stopped for no obvious reason.  Since then the capsule has not been visible to the MacBook.  I have tried to reconfigure through Airport Utility but even after reperated rescans the capsule remains invisible.
    Any help would be extremely welcome.

    1. i would restore the express to factory defaut by holding the reset button on the unit with a paperclip while you are powering it on
    2. if it restored, you should be able to see it in your wifi icon at top of screen as "airport express"
    or you can see it in airport utility
    3. then if you want to connect it wirelessly to your time capsule, you would choose "extend network" and put in relevant security and password....this would make the express a wireless access point, fed by your time capsule(main router)
    if you chose to do it wired which is a better way if you have access to ethernet port at wall, you would choose "create a wireless network" and then under the "network" tab you would choose "Bridge Mode".....this would make the express a wired access point, fed by your time capsule(main router)

  • Windows Vista and WiFi networking problem with MackBook Air

    Hi, everyone!
    Thanks in advance for the following help.
    For some specific programms I need Windows Vista to be set up on my MacBook Air.
    The problem with Broadcom WiFi adapter.
    While moving large files over home network it hangs and looses the wifi network. It works OK while surfing the internet or doing other low traffic job. But when it comes to 2 MB/sec transfer it doesn't work. I tried two different routers, no positive result. PC works propely on any file sizes. After booting the Leopard the problem goes away. So it is onle Windows Vista problem.
    May be drivers? I tried 4.170.25.19 Windows Vista drivers from Broadcom - it didn't help. But I am not goog in driver settings in Control Panel, so may be the solution is there.
    Any ideas how to solve it?
    Thanks for help in advance.
    Andrey.

    Hello Nescom. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I'm afraid I really don't have an answer for you but I can offer my experiences with large files transfer with Vista. My current home network is a combination of Windows PC, Windows Servers, and Macs. Large file transfers between most of them have relatively the same performance, except when transferring large files from the Vista PC to any other OS. It is demonstrably slower. Interestingly, transfers between Vista machines does not appear to be a problem. I understand that this is a known problem by Microsoft and was supposed to be fixed with Vista SP1.
    So the problem might not be your network, but Vista itself. I'm curious if you have this problem when transferring large files to another Vista device?

  • Windows 8 and wifi Networks

    I've just received a replacement Dell Windows 8.1 tablet.
    I had the original for two weeks and it was connected to my "home" wifi network.
    My replacement tablet, once I'd set it up using my "Outlook" account, some how, automatically connected to my "home" wifi network.
    I did not use the WPS button on the router, have never used it.
    It did not ask for the security key. How is that possible ?

    Windows is now storing WiFi passwords and roams them with your Microsoft Account.
    You can disable or enable these settings by using the Sync your settings panel.

    Usually it's because you are not making internet connection via wifi.
    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • Weather widget and slide show problems

    Hi
    The site is www.heritageharbourcommunity.com
    My site opens on a three column fixed page with header and footer.  I have been able to define the area between the nav bar and footer as editable.  When I go to incontext and try to make that area editable through incontext it seems fine until I test it.  I receive a message that the area is not editable and I can make regions editable through incontext.  Only the right most column has a dashed line around it.  From that I assume the problem is with the weather widget in column 1 and the slide show in column 2.
    All of my other pages are single column and seem to work well with incontext.  Any suggestions?  Thanks...Morgan

    Hello MoBet,
    InContext Editing regions cannot contain Flash or JavaScript content, so you should wrap the sections you want to have editable with div tags to separate them from this content. For example:

  • Cisco Anytime Connect VPN working from iMac but not from MacBook Air with same settings and wifi network

    Hi guys,
    I'm having trouble connecting my new MacBook Air to Cisco Anytime Connect VPN.
    The same configuration works with my iMac, in the same network and same Mac OS Mountain Lion on both computers.
    After successfully connecting to VPN after a few seconds it gets disconnected and, what is worse, WIFI is not working any more in my macBook Air, I need to deactivate it and start again.
    With iMac with the same settings it doesn't happen.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Did you power cycle the network? That's always the first thing you want to do if a device is "missing" or not connecting to your network correctly.
    If you have not already tried this a few times, power down the entire network...all devices, order is not important.
    Wait a few minutes and place the MBAir close to the TC
    Start the modem first and let it run a few moments by itself. Then start the TC if it is the device connected to the modem and let it run a few moments. Then start each device one at a time the same way.

  • G585 wired and wifi networking problems - please help!!

    Just purchased a new G585 a couple weeks ago.  After trying Win 8, I realized what a complete POS of an OS it is and installed Win 7.
    2 Major problems:
    1.  Ethernet connection erratically disconnects - no rhyme or reason - sometimes works other times doesn't.  I've tested on two diff networks - the same behavior.
    2.  Cannot install wifi - tried the drivers from Lenovo site - no go - tried drivers someone had recommended (broadcom wifi5.100.196.18) these did not work either - device still unrecognized in device manager
    This is my 9th Lenovo laptop over the years.  The others were great.  This one seems to have serious issues.
    Can anyone assist please???

    I have had these same connectivity issue since I bought the laptop in March of 2013.  It is January 2014, and is will still drop connectivity for no apparent reason, be incredibly slow when it IS connected, and sometimes just sop seeing the network altogether (and this happens on every netwrok I have attempted to connect to).
    The most obnoxious thing is that after spending several hours over multiple days on the phone with tech supprt, they said I needed to send it in for repair.  So I did.  It was gone two weeks and when I got ti back, they claimed that had repaired it, but everything was exactly the same.
    Combine that with the lack of help for the company and the fact that this seems to be the only laptop where edge swipes on the touchpad cannot be disabled, this Lenovo laptop is the worst computer I have ever owned, period.  And I mean ever.
    If there ACTUALLY IS a way to fix this issue, I would love to hear it, bit nothing that anywone ever suggest actually works.  I thought maybe if I upgraded to Windows 8.1 it would help, but the Lenovo site lists the G585 as a model you shouldn't update because of monitor driver issues witht he upgrade.  It really looks to me like Lenovo has written this model off completely.
    I will never buy another Lenovo product and I will direct other people to other brands.  Words cannot describe my frustration and disappointment.

  • I have just moved from Firefox 3 to 4 and have lost my weather widget and cant find any way to try to get it back

    With FF3 I had a widget provided by Met Office Uk, but when I upgraded to FF4 it was no longer available and I can find no way to get it (or one like it back). Is there any way I can do so.

    Many thanks. I have now discovered and downloaded the new Met Office Desktop Widget which works fine and seems to be an improvement over the old one. It downloaded and was installed easily with FF4.

  • My weather widget is set to California, and I am on the east coast. Way to reset it?

    For some reason, my weather widget (the slide down screen) is set to Cupertino, California. Problem: I'm in Washington, D.C and there isn't a real reason for it to be in California....
    I updated my phone, so it is the most up to date.
    My locations services is on, and it is set to D.C, so is there any way to fix this problem?
    Thank you so much!

    Sure, bring up the weather widget and select it.  Select "i" at the bottom right corner and turn Local Weather ON

  • Using Remote app on iPhone 5 without a separate internet connection and wifi router.

    Hi,
    I need to be able to control iTunes within my MacBook Pro remotely. Using my mobile broadband service and wireless router I've been able to get the Remote app to allow my iPhone 5 to do the job nicely through Home Share.  So I went and bought a separate WiFi router and tried to do the same thing. Of course when it didn't work, I discovered that I need an internet connection and WiFi network to make the Home Sharing work.
    So I got to thinking, can I create a WiFi hotspot using the Personal HotSpot functionality of my iPhone, set up Home Sharing on phone and MacBookPro and then use the Remote app. Ideally this would work as it seems all the key components are in place.
    The MacBook Pro accepts the iPhone hotspot as a means of Home Sharing, however the iPhone won't use the personal hotspot to Home Share and I can't connect to the iPhone personal hotspot on the iPhone itself.
    Does anyone know how to make this work for me? It would be such as neat solution if I can get it to work - not to mention the potential to save me about $200 (I need to set this model up for two people).
    Cheers
    Kathy

  • How does the gps on my iPhone 4S know we're I am if I have no service, it's in airplane mode, and wifi is turned off ?

    Let me just say that I didn't get the answer I wanted from contacting apple care and the customer service rep was very rude and gave me what seemed like a short answer just to get me off the line. So here I am hoping that someone can give me a straight answer.
    I have an iPhone 4S and I have not had cellular service associated with it for over a year now. It's basically acting as an iPod touch right now.
    Yesterday I took a car trip to Boston with my wife and I was playing around with google maps. I had loaded our destination prior to leaving our home so the route information was still loaded. I have my 4s on airplane mode all the time so constantly searching for a signal wouldn't drain my battery. I turn wifi off when I'm not in a hotspot for the same reason as well. So as I was looking at our route info I noticed that the little node that indicates your position was moving along with our corresponding location almost as accurate as any other gps. This concerns me because
    1- I have no service on this phone
    2- airplane mode is enabled
    3- wifi is disabled
    Now the even weirder thing is that my son has a nexus tablet. Just strictly wifi. We pulled into a rest stop and conveniently it had free wifi. So I loaded our route info onto his Google device. When we got back on the road I turned wifi off on his tablet and SHOCKER the node was moving along with our position.
    I want to know why my iPhone 4S running on iOS 7.0.4 is receiving gps data when all of the supporting features are turned off. As an added concern I would like to know why my sons wifi-only tablet is receiving gps data as well.
    What is apple doing with its devices or what is google doing to their devices and/or application software.
    Thank you to whoever helps me out with this.

    Because GPS has nothing to do with WiFi, cellular signals, or data of any sort. GPS is implemented by signals sent by satellites that are received by GPS receivers. The receivers process the information from the GPS satellites and calculate your location. GPS never sends data anywhere; GPS functionality is receive only.
    If you have WiFi or cellular data turned on this can improve the accuracy of GPS, because the GPS receiver can then use the known location of cell towers and WiFi networks to refine the GPS location. GPS by itself has an accuracy of 10 meters, or about 34 feet. Using the additional information from WiFi and cellular data this can be brought down to 3 meters (10 feet). This mode is called Augmented GPS, or A-GPS.

  • Weather Widget Disappears

    After installing Leopard, I am having two regular issues with Widgets. 1) My weather widgets (I generally keep two of these on my dashboard) disappear. If I have one or more open in my dashboard, it (they) slowly seems to "creep" up the screen until it's gone. Then I re-load new ones. It seems as if they're simply up off the screen somewhere, in which case I might have 20 weather widgets currently running.
    2) my Webclips almost never load on their own. I have to click on them and hit Cmd+R to get them to re-load.

    I'm also having the same problem. One thing I've done to clean up weather widgets that have managed to escape to the top of the screen before I catch them and move them back down is use the "Manage Widgets" widget to disable the Weather widget and then re-enable it. This kills all the weather widgets so I don't have any hanging. Unfortunately it means I need to replace and reset all the widgets. I'm running the widgets on a secondary monitor, so I wonder if that is related.
    Some other stuff I notice, some times the widgets will move every time I open dashboard, sometimes only the first time after log in. Normally only 1 or 2 of the widgets though will move on me. I have 3 regularly set u.

  • Wi-Fi: do I need to register every time I use WiFi network?

    This is basic question but I'm not quite sure about using Edge network and WiFi network on my iPhone.
    Mostly, I set
    - WiFi "on"
    - Ask to join networks "on"
    So, always available WiFi networks come up when I use my iPhone. But I usually cancel to use it and just use iPhone on Edge network.(feel like internet is slow.)
    Do I need to register or sign-up whenever I use Wi Fi network?
    And if I see 'lock' sign with Wi Fi network, do I need to know their password? Do I need to join their WiFi network and they charge fee?
    Thanks in advance for help!

    Do I need to register or sign-up whenever I use Wi Fi network?
    Depends on the available Wi-Fi network. If at work or at the house of a friend or relative, there is no registration required but if the network is password protected, you must be given the password required to access the network.
    And if I see 'lock' sign with Wi Fi network, do I need to know their password?
    Yes - this means the network or password protected.
    Do I need to join their WiFi network and they charge fee?
    This depends on if the provider of the network requires payment for access. As an example, Starbucks uses T-Mobile for their Wi-Fi network available at each store but accessing it is not free and requires payment.
    Some independent coffee shops, chain restaurants and businesses offer free Wi-Fi access for their customers and if not password protected, all you need to do is join the network - accept it and you will have access.
