Weather widget fails for my town.

As of the end of December, roughly, the weather widget has failed to receive info for my town, on two different computers, so I'm certain this isn't based on my own computer.
If anybody is willing to confirm, try adding, "Roblin, Swan River, Manitoba (Canada)" to a Weather Widget. It'll validate the name, but once you click it and click done, it fails to load any data.
Any way to get this fixed?
-Chris.

Clicking on "The Weather Channel" logo on the back and searching for my town on their site will give me the weather, and my iPod touch still receives data for my town in the weather app as well.

  • Weather widget replacement for Windows 7

    I work as an IT for a small business. And I believe that Microsoft once again has removed one more of their products that was sold to us. I keep getting tech support calls about weather widget not working on Windows 7 desktops installed in our offices. I
    need to replace this:
    with something that actually shows a weather forecast and runs on a Windows 7 desktop.
    Any ideas?

    Ok,
    There is a serious issue with the Widgets platform, that has been clearly stated before.  If you are not technically oriented, maybe you should use any of the other alternatives on the replies for your question (except the answer to look out the
    window which is between silly and idiotic, plus mean.
    Now, if you *do* want to fix the widget. The solution is somewhere else and is basically to "touch" a configuration file and restarting the widget.  The solution is temporary so a [hopefully] definitive solution is exposed on the thread and
    is basically locking down the file after "touching" it, with a date in the future.
    The solution is

    As to why someone would want to run such an outdated and unsafe piece of software?   Simple: Some people do not mind, and in fact are willing to take responsibility (to him/herself) if somehting bad happens to the system, plus this particular
    widget is simple, unobtrusive, light (doesn't slow anything down), not spammy and is "always there" to glance at instead of going to a website as someone suggested.   It reminds me in fact of the beautiful Windows 8 Weather app.  
    So, some people may still want to run this widget. Above is the solution to this pestering issue.
    Since you are the IT for other people, not for yourself, I do recommend to use an alternate product.

  • Error Loading Weather widget when docked

    I just got the multimedia dock for the Droid X and the weather widget fails to load. Any ideas how to repair this and make it work?
    Thanks for any help in this, love the device as I gave up my iPhone for this and will never go back!!!

    Okay, just found the answer with the help of Google...
    1 } While docked, press the widget and hold...drag to trash
    2 } Hold finger in spot where widget was. menu will appear to "Add to Desk Home"
    3 } Select "Dock Widgets"
    4 } Select "Weather" (as in my case) or whatever widget was having trouble loading.
    So simple. Thanks to all who have helped and I hope this helps others!

  • 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.

  • 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??

  • The weather widget doesn't appear in the notification center for ios7

    I can't find the basic weather widget which was part of the earlier iOS in the notification center. Has it been removed or do I need to change some settings?

    System Preferences/Notifications - check the setup there. Also check the daily reminder in the Reminder application.
    Do a backup.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.notificationcenterui.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • Weather widgets for Nokia E6

    anyone know of a good weather widget for the Nokia E6? 
    I tried the accuweather one and I cant get it to show up in the widgets catalog. 
    Anyone have a working weather widget on their Nokia E6?
    what are you using?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You can try MeteoNews from Ovi Store (free, but it doesn't update automatically, you have to tap on the widget everytime).
    Or download the working AccuWeather which I've attached.

  • 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.

  • Nokia Weather Widget for E6

    I tried installing the Nokia Weather Widget on my E6 but for some unknown reason, I cant open it when installed. I am currently using the AccuWeather Shortcut but I prefer to see the weather updated on the screen rather than to have to open the app everytime I want to know the weather. Any suggestions?

    Sorry rancebobo, I was talking at cross purposes - thinking of the app in Maps Suite 2.0. Perhaps Nokia is abandoning the E6. It's no longer listed on the Danish website and none of the Belle improvement out so far seem to have become available for it.
    I bought an E6 because my E72 had lagged way behind, and hey presto! IMHO the E6 has already been hobbled.
    I'll certainly buy a new Nokia if it does what I want, but when I pay good money for a phone I don't expect it to run out of steam before Midsummer of the year I bought it.
    Smile away?
    PS
    On the subject of good weather forecasts/reports, I use YR.NO - which also has English menus so don'y get put off by the Norwegian. It's not an app as such, but in my experience it's accurate both in Scandinavia and the UK.

  • Weather widget for E6 belle

    Hi gauthamkss,
    If you install Accuweather from the Nokia store, it will allow you to add it as a widget to the homescreen.

  • Original Droid's News and Weather widget for the X

  • 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.

  • Strange Weather Widget Issue

    I have three weather widgets added to my iPhone: 44319 (Akron, OH), 44115 (Cleveland, OH), and 44094 (Willoughby, OH). The Akron and Cleveland ones work just fine, but the Willoughby one always says 90 degrees and day time no matter what. I know the information is getting updated because I have the same location setup on my iMac and it works fine. Any ideas why it's not updating on my iPhone? I've tried removing it and re-adding it multiple times.

    Hrrmmmm. Upon further inspection the problem appears to apply for all towns immediately surrounding Ft Collins (Loveland, Windsor, Wellington).
    If it is because a person manually supplies the data, they must be on vacation. It's been 81 since Sunday.
    If it is AccuWeather providing incorrect data it is just to the iPhone. The information for Ft Collins updates correctly on my dashboard in 10.4.10.
    The surrounding areas not showing correct information seems to support the theory that it is something to do with the information supplied being incorrect. If so, who should we contact to have the issue resolved?
    Edited to add: I've also tried deleting the city, resetting the device and going back to the application to add it back. When I return to the weather widget the listing is already there, even though I had deleted prior to resetting. Has anyone who has this problem tried restoring all the settings or restoring the entire device yet?
