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.

Xperia Weather widget GPS location automatic update issue

Folks,
Having an issue with Xperia Weather widget location automatic update. It just stays whatever I set manually before even selecting "use my current GPS location".It finds location OK, but should it follow then automatically or it works only in "manual mode" ?
GPS settings are activated OK.
On other weather app this feature works fine.
Anybody experiencing the same problem?
Thanks.

Hey
That "use my current GPS feature" is just to set the location. It doesn't works as automatic mode to update your location on it's own.
You will have to do it manually again if you wish to change the location.

Location Service not Working with Weather Widget in Notification Center

Is ibt just me or is the weather widget not validating locations? I have restored iOSS 6.0.2 and toggles location services (enable/disable) for the app and removed it from the notification menu. It is working on both my iMac and MBP. Any suggestions? Anyone else having issues?
Thanks in advance...Happy New Year!

I see your point.
Launching the Weather app updates, but that's not push, right? So it could be that the widget in the NC relies on push. But why does it need to? Why doesn't it request an update when I pull down the NC, just like when I start the Weather app?
It seems to happen quite often, not like it's a one-off kind of server problem. I haven't been able to discern a pattern, but it's often enough to be so annoying that I almost want to remove it from the NC.

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.

Changing weather widget default location

Hello,
My Mom has a G4 running OS 10.4.11. She likes to use the weather widget (I never use widgets). However, the default location changed to another city. All I'd like to know is how I can change it back to the city or zip code she lives in. Thanks a lot for your time and assistance.

hi
What weather widget?
Identifying the exact app would help enormously with providing a solution.
Some of these have a 'rollover' functionality so you wont always see the component you are trying to identify. Move the mouse around the widget face.
FWIW- AccuWeathers widget has been playing up[for a month or more]. They have been cycling their urls on the site (witness broken bookmarks too) and mine has broken frequently, based on SQL or whatever location the widget has to look up.
It does restore, but IME has rebroken several times. Good luck.

Weather Widget Only Recognizes U.S Locations?

Hi everyone.
I'm a new MacBook owner, and during the process of trying to customize my weather widget I can't seem to get it to recognize Calgary, Alberta, Canada (where I live). I found the little "i" feature in the bottom right-hand corner and have tried both the city name as well as my postal code, but nothing changes. It defaults back to Cupertino every time I try to reset it.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for your time.

The weather widget isn't US only - I'm in Canada, and no problem here. Type in Calgary and hit "Return", and a menu pops up, offering a choice of "Calgary, Canada(Alberta)" and "Calgary Okotoks Air Park, Canada(Alberta)".
Assuming your network connection is working OK and your isp isn't illegally blocking access to any web sites because of a labour dispute, perhaps you could try deleting the "~/Library/Preferences/widget-com.apple.widget.weather.plist" file in your "home" folder...

Weather Widget Changing location

I'm new to MAC and I am trying to customise my weather widget, I live in Brisbane Australia, but every time I try to change this widget, it reverts back to Brisbane, CA. Any tips anyone? Thank you. G

Hello, gabriel4005,
See if this helps —
• enter Brisbane, Australia
• press the return / enter key on the keyboard
Three choices should drop down:
• Brisbane, Australia (Queensland)
• Brisbane Archerfield, Australia (Queensland)
• Brisbane International, Australia (Queensland)
Make your selection and click Done.
Hope this helps,

My weather widget keeps saying "weather offline" when im on wifi or have full service?

on my iphone 4 in the notification centre, my weather widget says "weather offline" sometimes, most of the time is shows the weather, but sometimes it is offline even when im on wifi or have full service. its so annoying. how can i fix this?

I'm seeing it too, and I know of no fix. So it's not just you. And, I'm in the US so it's not a problem in your country only.
I have found no pattern as to why I get "Weather Offline" but other times it's updated just fine.
Sometimes the Weather app refuses to update the local weather, other times it gets updated. I assume the issues are related. All the other weather locations I create in the app are updated, so I know it's not the weather server that's the problem. It's just the local weather in the app and notification center (or centre!)
Guess it's another iOS 5 bug. Let's hope it gets fixed in the next release.

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

How do you get the weather widget in notification back on line

My yahoo weather widget in notification shows as offline. What needs to be done to get it back online?

Is your Settings > Location Services > Weather ON?
From my previous post, don't use the Notification Center but the Weather app directly to switch Local Weather to ON. (See above post)

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.

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 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 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
