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.

Annoying Weather Widget Problem

This is weird - my girlfriend's MacMini, running 10.4.2 has a weather widget that "holds" the info for the 6 days that are displayed. When it's empty she just goes on line, launches the widget and voila - 6 day forecast that stays there for 6 days. I have a new MacPro running 10.4.8 - same widget. But mine only holds the info for a day. That means I have to go on line every day just to reinstate the info. I don't recall setting up any "widget" preferences when I set up her system. Is there a fix for this - why the inconsistency in the widget behaviour? Has anyone else run across this problem? Nothing earthshaking - just annoying. Anybody? Any answers, solutions appreciated.

Hello killer:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
Type only Toronto into the widget. Press enter. A drop down menu will give you all of the Toronto options. Select your Canadian one and press enter. Presto, you will now have Torono Canada (option for F or C temperature).

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.

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.

Weather widget and slide show problems

Hi
The site is www.heritageharbourcommunity.com
My site opens on a three column fixed page with header and footer. I have been able to define the area between the nav bar and footer as editable. When I go to incontext and try to make that area editable through incontext it seems fine until I test it. I receive a message that the area is not editable and I can make regions editable through incontext. Only the right most column has a dashed line around it. From that I assume the problem is with the weather widget in column 1 and the slide show in column 2.
All of my other pages are single column and seem to work well with incontext. Any suggestions? Thanks...Morgan

Hello MoBet,
InContext Editing regions cannot contain Flash or JavaScript content, so you should wrap the sections you want to have editable with div tags to separate them from this content. For example:
<div id="sidebar1">
    <div id="mysidebar1-1">

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 - 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.

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 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

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 ?

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?

Thanks in advance.

I've got the same problem! It affects all apple widgets... but not any 3rd party ones I've downloaded. It's a real pain.
Perhaps the widget files (located in HD>Library>Widgets) have something wrong with them? But if the widgets work in one user and not in another, then that can't be the case. :-S
