Weather widget button temp display

Its always 73 degrees. Wouldn't it be nice if the button displayed the temp of your current location? wink wink

No kidding. It took me a second to realize what you meant, but yeah. If the calendar icon can change, why is the weather widget left static?

Weather widget missing graphics

For the past few weeks my weather widget has been displaying the "missing link" blue question mark at the top of the widget insetead of the normal graphic displaying hte current weather conditions.
The info is all there, and it's generally right, and the graphics for the week forcast are all there as well. It's just that one larger graphic that used to be at the top that's missing.
I would love to find a way to fix this that doesn't involve re-installing Tiger...

Travis,
Glad to help.
Just a reminder for others who may read this thread. If you are having problems with any aspect of OS X, experiment with deleting the appropriate .plist. Plist corruption is common and .plist file deletion cures many problems. Too many users try the intricate solutions first and end up complicating the problem.

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.

I am trying to include some widgets into my website through iweb.How to keep only the widget button on the homepage instead of the whole open widget?

I found the HTML code for including the Facebook widget buttons on my webiste...now I also wanted to include some other widget so I looked at www.widgetbox.com....I can download the html code and once I put that on my webpage then I have the widget open. How can I only have the widget button instead? For example I wanted to have the weather widget, but only the button weather widget, as if it was on the iphone, so that user can click on it just if they want, but I couldn't manage to do it. Does anyone knows?

Add an HTML snippet and put the code in it:

Weather widget not working after upgrade to Snow Leopard (Australian areas)

The weather widget is not working since I upgraded to Snow Leopard.
The feed seems to have changed from Accuraweather or something like that to Yahoo!Weather, and Yahoo!Weather seems to have problems (at least concerning weather data feeds from places in Australia).
I live in Kempsey, New South Wales (Australia). I can't input that address, because it won't validate. When I try typing my address in the widget autocompletes with "Kempsey, Austral Eden, New South Wales (Australia)" (FYI, Austral Eden is a rural parish near Kempsey, but Austral Eden is not in Kempsey and Kempsey is not in Austral Eden). That address will validate, but there seems to be no weather feed: ie. I don't get any information displayed in the widget.
The nearest address that will validate correctly is "Port Macquarie, New South Wales (Australia)". The Yahoo!Weather feed doesn't provide any information about that, either.
I can get a weather data feed for Canberra. But Canberra is 800 kilometres from here.
I think I want to change back to AccuraWeather. How would I do that?

I'm annoyed by this as well.
I was planning on buying my father the Snow Leopard upgrade for Christmas, but there is no way he'll want it without a working Port Macquarie weather widget. ( I'm not kidding! )
I've looked at the AccuWeather widget as well, but it is really ugly!

Updated to 10.4.9 and now weather widget doesn't work-what to do?

Hello-
Just updated to 10.4.9 tonight and for the first time since I bought this computer in August, the weather widget doesn't work.
Would anyone happen to know what I could do to get this to work. I am connected to the internet, I can access the accuweather.com that I think this widget connects to, I restarted and reset PRAM (not even sure if that has anything to do with it).
I just don't even know where to go from here to troubleshoot. Any suggestions would be appreciated... Thanks.

Just for the record... There is quite a bit of discussion about widgets. I only use the dictionary and iStat. I use WeatherPop in the taskbar, which resides in the taskbar...
It did it again this morning. I let it boot all the way, and then I went into system preferences to find the resolution that the display was using. It was 1400x1050. But there was a second display preferences window open. Basically... The computer was "mirroring" to a second non-existent monitor. I ran through the "detect displays" and it got rid of the second setting.
I've never had a second monitor hooked to the machine, and I've never messed with the display settings, other than to change wallpaper. I'm not sure how or why it turned on, but I think it's off now... Weird that it only did it every now and then.

Question mark where moon must be - Weather widget

When i go to the dashboard, the weather widget displays a blue square with a white questionmark in it a little top left of where the moon is supposed to be

Dear Grant Bennet,
I've tried that, I just bought my macbook pro last week and disk repair (even from boot) gives me only 1 issue with permissions that cant be fixed. It starts with System... and ends with Agent (something like System/.../Agent).
Ive repaired and it could not be fixed. The widget is still not working though. Yesterday morning everything worked just fine and I only used Pages in between.
Is there any way to completely remove the widget and redownload? Maybe an icon is missing or something like that?
I attacheted a screenshot so you can check.
Thanks in advance
Anyone else having this problem? (check attachment picture please)
Greetings,
Glenn

Apple weather widget

Does anyone by chance know if in the new iOS 6 which I have installed on my iPhone they will update the weather widget to show a real time temperature dispaly instead of the constant 73' icon. Or at least can they give the option of having the temperature displayed by the battery icon or wi-fi 3G/4G icon. It would be nice if the weather widget was a little more up to date considering todays technologies... Just a thought.

We are all users here, just like you. But you can tell Apple about your wishes here:
Apple - iPhone - Feedback
And there are many 3rd party weather apps in the Store as well.

Rss Weather Widget

Does anyone know of a good rss Weather widget that will not
only display text, but the appropriate weather image (sun, rain,
etc.) like weather.com has? I'm not familiar enough with XML to
parse out data. Any help you can give is appreciated!

Hi --
I am working on just such an item for my company's website
using data from
NOAA.GOV. I'm having some issues parsing the XML data because
of the names
of the elements but if I get it working I can send you a copy
of the FLA.

Weather widget defaults to Cupertino

Hello all, I have 4 weather Widgets on Dashboard. These are for Bridgewater USA, Montpellier France and Bergen and Oslo Norway. 4 times of 5 when I fire up the dashboard for the first time i.e. after booting the computer from shut down, at least 2 or 3 of them list Cupertino- Now I know that I am a Machead deluxe - have had my hands on almost every model since 1984, this sort of flattery is too much to bear. If I spin them (i - icon) the location shows correctly i.e. Montpellier but on return to the Weather interface Cupertino is still there - with Cupertino's weather by the way. The only way I can force the weather is by opening the Accuweather site or by closing the Dashboard and re-opening it. Even this does not always do the trick and I have to re-locate the weather location by deleting the Montpellier that is there and re-entering it anew. Yet lo and behold - when I n´reboot again we are back to the 4 of 5 times etc. Any good ideas on this one??

Same problem here (had begun with Tiger). Having once displayed widget content and discovered that in moonphases folder there are only 24 icons (when there are 28 days in a complete mooncycle, I wonder if this could explain the fact that the cupertino icon appears frequently some days and then no more for a quite long time. For me the Cupertino appearing icon is always a nightly one.
May be somebody with more knowledge than me in software could check it ?

Weather widget

When I changed the cupertino weather info to my local city, I wound up with 2 weather widgets. Can I remove one of them from the dashboard display?
Thanks,
Olga

Hello Olga, welcome to Apple Discussions!
Yes, you can remove any widget by dragging it back to the Dashboard "widget bar" (which is revealed by clicking the round icon with a plus sign in the Dashboard) or by holding down the option key, moving over the widget and clicking the round X that appears.

Weather Widget Problem - UK Locations

Has anyone noticed that for many UK places, there are multiple locations listed by the weather widget for the same place (enter just the village/town/city then press enter to get the list of matches)?
I tested a couple and clicked the place name (to take me to the accuweather.com page for that location): the page was the same for both versions of the location, despite the widgets displaying different data.
Sometimes if 2 widgets are set up with each having different versions of the same place, they will be different enough to show day (blue) and night (purple).
How can i tell which place to choose? It's not even like i can follow the widget through to the web page with the full data to work out which is correct, as they both result in the same info.

Hello Richard:
Are you using the Apple weather widget? If you type in the place (just the place) the drop down menu will list your options. As you can see, I am not in the UK. However, I have not had any trouble with identifying a proper location. If you could provide a couple of examples, perhaps I (or someone) would be able to help.
FWIW, I use the weather bug widget - I like the presentation better and it certainly lists all of the options.

Weather widget date screwed up post 01/01/09

Hi. I'm in New Zealand, and as of yesterday my weather widgets are showing the wrong day. It's Saturday morning here, and any New Zealand (or Australian) city I add on my dashboard displays as Friday. Up until a day or so ago this has never been a problem. I've called a few other Mac-users in NZ, and they're all having the same problem, where the dates/forcasts on their weather widgets seem to have defaulted back to American time zones. Any other non-Americans having this issue? Thanks.

Weather widget for Canada

I cannot get my city of Vancouver, BC into the weather widget. I hit the i button and a Canadian postal code does not work. How do I change it to a Canadian city please?

PS I find Environment Canada's forecasts to be more accurate than the ones in the Apple widget. Apple's widget is predicting sun for Tuesday, and Environment Canada is predicting rain all week. I guess three days from now we'll know who's right.
You can sign up to get the EC forecast e-mailed to you daily. I get mine at 7:00am.
http://www.weatheroffice.pyr.ec.gc.ca/e-products/Disclaimer_e.aspx
Or you can go here with Safari: http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/pages/bc-74metrice.html and select "Open in Dashboard" to add your own widget of the Environment Canada Vancouver forecast. Not nearly as pretty as Apple's, but more accurate IME.
