#Mac forecast bar update
IPad Pro gains a Mac-like capability in iOS 9.3 beta 2: updating accessory firmware - Although the staff at Apple World Today has varying opinions about the ability of the iPad Pro to serve as a “MacBook replacement” (and here’s the Mac Observer’s take on this), “we agree on one thing – the device can perform a lot of the same functions of a Mac.” Now 9to5Mac is reporting that German developer Stefan Wolfrum discovered a new Mac-like capability for the iPad Pro – being able to update the firmware of devices attached to the Smart Connector. I have a very extensive Mac help area here on the site and invite you to check it out while you’re visiting! Thanks.The cheapest apps in the NZ App Store can now be 99¢Īpple enables lower App Store price tiers in New Zealand - Apple has announced two new App Store price tiers for iOS developers selling wares in New Zealand (and Canada), enabling lower digital content costs for consumers and flexibility for app makers. Developers can get more information on App Store pricing in the Pricing and Availability section of My Apps on iTunes Connect.Ī smartphone was shipped for 1 of every 5 people alive in 2015 - Manufacturers shipped nearly 1.5 billion smartphones to the world’s 7.4 billion inhabitants in 2015 as consumers opted to replace older devices with newer LTE-equipped models or those with larger displays. Pro Tip: I’ve been writing about Apple and Mac since the OS ran on a 512K unit and the LISA was the big announcement. If there are no more changes, updates, or tweaks needed for any of the Control Center widgets, remember to click on “ Done” along the bottom to save everything.įixed! Not only that but as I move around, it’ll automatically now display the weather for my location every time, whether I’m in North Pole, Gravois Mills, Kansas City, or anywhere else! The window flips back around and the new location weather is displayed: That’s accomplished by clicking on “ Done” in the top right corner. I can quickly choose from this rather odd list of locations (all of which I have a connection to, but that’s another story) but the most useful choice is “ My Location“. A tap on the current city name and it offers a list of recently searched locations: In the case of the Weather widget, the window flips around and displays this:Īh-ha! Here’s where it’s getting Kansas City. That’s how you get to settings and configuration.
You can see it in the first image if you look closely. The settings area is found by instead clicking on the tiny “ Edit Widgets” button on the bottom of the Control Center. It doesn’t…Ĭlose the browser window, we won’t need it. A third-party widget! But there’s a problem here: I’m in Boulder, Colorado and the Control Center is showing me the weather for Kansas City.Ī logical reaction is to click on the widget with the assumption that it brings up a settings area. Notifications show up at the very top if present, then I have the weather widget, the Screen Time widget, and the slick CleanMyMac widget.

CHANGE LOCATION OF WEATHER FORECAST IN MAC WEATHER WIDGETįirst off, yes, “widget” is the official name for the tiny little mini-apps that run within Control Center. Turns out that specifying location is part of the “edit widget” feature. On an iPhone or iPad, the weather widget is tied to the Weather app, so it’s easy to know that you go into the app to adjust and update desired locations to change where the widget will show current and forecast weather. Instead of having it just sit on your desktop – or menu bar – however, it is pretty nice to have it just a click away… Of new widgets has been rather glacial, however, so we do seem to be mostly stuck with the defaults, one of which is the weather widget. It mimics a similar feature in iOS, but that’s good: Why not have the Mac system steal the best features and elements of the mobile experience? The introduction I’m a big fan of the new Control Center in MacOS 11, actually.
