Weather widget is stuck on "Add cities"

Really dumb question here... I am new to smartphones.
Somehow I accidentally hit the weather thing, and it went to "add cities". I cannot get it to go back to just showing the temperature.
How do I exit or cancel this? When I touch it, it just goes into the setup screen, and when I exit that, it still says "add cities" instead of the temp.
Is there an "escape" key on this thing?

It sounds like you at one time enabled the Dashboard "dev" mode which allows widgets to stay on the desktop - even between restarts. Otherwise, the widget would "pop back" when Dashboard was shown.
The solution is to pick up the widget and drag it, and while your mouse button is down and you're dragging the widget, press your F12 key to call up Dashboard. Once Dashboard is visible, let go of your mouse button and "drop" the widget back into Dashboard. This is probably similar to how you got the widget onto the desktop in the first place.
Oh, and Amnesty won't help you because it doesn't actually interact with Dashboard widgets (it's a completely separate and distinct widget environment), which explains why it can offer features (like widget rotation and scaling) that aren't available in Dashboard.

Weather widget - How to connect to cities

Some weeks ago my beloved Weather Widget suddenly went dead. I tried other widgets but the result is the same: They cannot connect to the list of cities in some database which supplies them with the weather information.
How did it happen? And how can I reestablish the connection.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your information,
I have gone through the links and also installed the SAP Widget Foundation. Created a Identity and service provider, when try to test the connection, the following error it shows,
HTTP ERROR: 500
Could not initialize class com.sap.mw.jco.JCORequestURI=/SapMiddleTier/app/advanced/service_providers/instance/check_status
Caused by:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.sap.mw.jco.JCO
Can you please guide us.
Thanks...

The Weather widget does not find cities anymore

Some time ago my weather widget lost its connection. If I try to enter a city name it just says No city found.
I reckon that the connection to Yahoo's city list is lost.
On my other computer it works fine.
Can anyone tell me where I can restore the connention?

Will apple add weather widget to iPad?

I can't get weather in the pull down notification menu on my iPad like I can on my iPhone. I have found no solutions other than apple adding a native weather widget to the iPad. Any ideas?

There is no weather widget in iOS for the iPad. There are 3rd party weather widgets in the iTunes App Store, but I doubt they can be incorporated into the notifications. Why this is so Apple has not said, so no users here will know why not.

How do you add cities to the clock feature?

Noticed that the clock feature is limited to specific cities and countries. Is there a way to add additional cities or countries not listed to the ipads and/or the iPhones? Would this go through tech support or what?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
I think that the point is that if the city or town doesn't appear in that list, then you are out of luck, unlike weather widgets, which seem to be a bit more exhaustive in what is available.

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

Can't find Lima, Peru in weather widget

Can anybody find this city in the weather widget?
I have tried in 2 different iphones without any luck. I have family there and I would like to have this city added to my weather widget. The strange thing is that my hometown trujillo, peru and cuzco, peru showed up. can't believe the capital isn't showing up in the yahoo/weather.com widget for iphone.

I know. The weird thing is that I can get even smaller cities than the capital of peru, Lima. The iphone found:
Trujillo, Cuzco all in peru. So weird.
if you pull out the yahoo weather site you can find it without any problem.

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 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 bug? - dont show my city

After upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6.0 (and 10.6.3) weather widget dont show my city - Radom, Poland(Mazowieckie).
My city is not small (over 250.000 people). Widget show smalest cites around my location, but Radom no.
Ealier version weather widget correct show weather in my city (10.5.8 system in other computer). It is bug or future?
Is possible to delete new version (system 10.6.3) of weather widget and install old widget? (from system 10.5.8)

Only certain more major cities are listed. You need to find a major city near your's, and listed in the widget's list, and use their weather lisitng. Obviously not ALL cities are listed.
Hope this helps

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.

10.6.8 weather widget not working

The weather widget on my dash no longer recognizes Surrey, BC Canada and instead defaults to Vancouver even when I enter my postal/zip code, BC. Surrey use to work before the update.. I've tried other smaller cities around my area and they too all seem to work.

Hi orangextc,
i think it's a generally problem on macs to synchronize the canada weather to your mac. Try this download link:

And write back if it works.

Clock/weather widget, friend stream, calendar widgets all disappeard

My phone updated, again this week to add "functionality". Sadly, it just keeps getting worse since the last update. Now my home screens have gone all crazy and my clock/weather widget, friend stream thingy, favorites thing and calendar widgets have all seemed to have disappeared. Does anyone know why and how I can get them back? I have about had it with this crap already. I had a perfectly useful phone a month ago and now I have a useless phone thanks to these horrible updates!

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?

Weather widget - location

On my yoga 2 10 tablet I would like two weather widgets. One for my current location and the other for the city where my daughter lives. How do I prevent widget two from defaulting to my current location?

I actually somehow broke it on my lenovo phone, but i think that i have 2 different lenovo weather widgets, and i can use them separatelly with different cities, but i don't know how i did that. One more stupid thing about lenovo weather widget is that you can't change the weather provider, as accuweather is not very accurate. I'll check how i did that if you like to use exactly the lenovo widget.
