Meteo. The weather app.
« on: October 27, 2006, 07:08:36 PM »
Been using Meteo from the time I found it on Techsurvivors.

Now it can't find any city I wish to load. It even refuses to find the local city I've been using.
I went to the Meteo web page. No answer there. Just others with the same problem.
Soooo I thought I give ol TS a go.
Seems TS has had the answers to most, if not all of my postings.
Thanks people, Buck

Buck...

I'm running version 1.4.4 of Meteo on a iMAc G5 w/10.4.8...and it 'appears' to be functioning as advertized.... am able to make changes and it updates on schedule...

Might be that something got corrupted.... maybe a 'reload' is in order..

Didn't need to hear this. For I trashed all Meteo and DL'd a new 1.4.4.
Running 10.3.9 on a eMAC.

This Mac has been showing signs of going south on me. This must be another sign.
 It all started w/ my Optical Drive quitting. Now it's taking it waaaaaay to long to boot up. Stuff like that,    wallbash.gif


         Thanks for your reply. Buck

When was the last time you let ( or forced ) the System Cron jobs ( as they were called back then ) to run? In 10.3.9, they will only run automagically, if the machine is ON in the wee hours of the day. 10.4.3 and later will do those tasks whenever it realizes they are due after waking up or turning on the Mac. Anyway, there are several caches that may be piling up on your drive that are causing things to slow down in that area. You should be able to use any of several uility apps that are made specifically to work in Panther, be sure it states that capability before using them; some have two versions, one for Tiger and one for Panther.

And the last time you had any of those apps do the cron jobs was...?

Some of those can also delete un-needed caches. Safari can clean itself, I think.

Only recently have I ran these apps,.
Hoping they would clear things up.
But that route didn't do it.

Buck-I've had that happen before, and I've just deleted the preferences user/library/preferences/com.heat.meteo.plist AND the cache user/library/caches/Meteorologist/folders numbered 01, 02 etc

Seems to be happening to a lot of people... me included... sad.gif

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php

I added my 2 cents there... I tried trashing all traces of the program and reinstalling... no go. Methinks it's time for an update but I don't think the developer sounds too enthused... too bad. I'd pay a modest amount for such a useful program.

*edit**

Then OTOH I found this which explains why the developer hasn't had much time lately for this:

Ok. I deleted both items. Still a no go.

I Don't know if this helps or not.
But when I install from scratch.
There is one city already listed.
That city is Cupertino, Cal,.

If I delete it or not. I still can't load the city I want.
It continues to tell me ( not found ).
