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.

  • 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,

  • 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 Widgets in Dashboard Constantly Disappearing

    I've searched this forum and find several articles about random widgets disappearing due to multiple monitors and what not. But my weather widgets just vanish randomly, oftentimes overnight while the computer is asleep.
    I'm getting a bit tired of recreating them (I have several) every couple of days. And I begin to suspect that they're still running, so I also wonder how long before my processor is dedicated to running dozens of weather widgets that I cannot see.
    Is this a universal problem or a symptom of something wrong with my computer? Either way, is there a fix?

    Hi,
    I've noticed this, too. Ever since Tiger, I've had problems with the weather widgets moving around slightly, sometimes overlapping each other, and maybe a couple of months ago (I don't recall exactly when), about half of my weather widgets disappeared (I have about 5-6 of them active). Like you, I think that it has something to do with changing monitor sizes; possibly if they are arranged on a large monitor and then viewed on a smaller screen, the ones with position coordinates that don't exist on the smaller screen disappear. When this first happened to me (I believe I was viewing on a smaller screen), I just assumed that the missing ones were beyond the boundaries of the screen, but when I switched back to a larger monitor, they couldn't be seen there, either. Sorry that I don't have a fix, but at least you aren't alone.

  • 10.4.7 Breaks BBC Weather Widget

    Like it says. Under 10.4.7 the BBC Weather Widget 0.9.5 still shows today's weather but loses the forecast for the following four days. Just hoping that somebody will notice and pass the word to the developer, as it was a nice widget and I'll miss it.

    Hello Mike:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    I suspect it is the other way around - the BBC widget was not written to whatever standard is used for widgets. If you can find out who developed the widget in question, drop them an E-mail - I am sure they will appreciate the feedback.

  • Which weather widget? Or can Apple's weather widget be hacked?

    The default weather widget has stop working since upgrading to Snow Leopard (because of some plonker's decision to change data providers). Any recommendations for a different weather widget? I'm looking for something as graphically nice as Apple's haven't been able to find one so far.
    Or can Apple's weather widget be hacked to use a different data provider?

    The default weather widget is working fine for me. I also tried this one:

    It's working here also. Are you in the US?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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 text moved UP

    I noticed recently but only really investigated today. The text on my weather widget has all moved up about 5-10 pixels from where it should be. The temperature listing is now sticking about 5 pixels outside and above the background. It looks like the same font and I haven't gotten rid of any fonts lately. I don't know if this is related to 10.4.5 but I noticed it around the time of the upgrade. Any ideas for troubleshooting? Very strange issue.

    Yes i have logged out, restarted, refreshed the widget. It's not just the weather widget now. I see that the address book widget is different, my iCal calendar widget has its text moved up, and goodness knows which others. I orignally asked this question on another forum and others reported having the same problems. I wonder if copying the widget from a computer not experiencing this would make a difference. It's really just the text.
    You know how when the weather widget is loading the temperature has the - - where the numbers are about to appear... those are in the correct position. As soon as the numbers and other text loads it's significantly higher than those - - would suggest.
