Updates seem partially broken for me under 10.4.9, on multiple machines, the symptom is the same: application picks up data the first time, but not afterwards. (Sometimes it won't get any data at all even at startup.) Anyone else seeing this behavior?

I don't think it's a 10.4.9 problem. I saw it happen for the first time today.Tuesday, March 27 2007 @ 02:34 AM PDT

Apparently this was a transient issue, as everything's working OK again.Friday, March 30 2007 @ 09:35 AM PDT

Mine hasn't worked for the last 2-3 days. The only changes on my Mac have been OS updates through Software Update. It doesn't load any data on mine. This is on two different Macs, both running 10.4.9.Thursday, May 03 2007 @ 02:26 PM PDT

Meteo is looking for http://www.w3.weather.comweather.com removed it.
Until/unless meteo is updated, you need to add a static entry in your /etc/hosts file in OS X.
From an administrative account in OS X, open Terminal.app. Type:
sudo sh -c '/bin/echo "65.207.183.11<tab>www.w3.weather.com" >> /etc/hosts'
where <tab> is the tab key, NOT spelled out. This will prompt you for a password before actually appending this. The command is completely safe.
sudo - run as privileged mode
"65.207.183.11<tab>www.w3.weather.com" - the content to be added to the /etc/hosts file
sh -c /bin/echo (contents of above) >> /etc/hosts concatenates the above line at the end of the /etc/hosts file
"more /etc/hosts" should show that line in there.
If Meteo doesn't refresh after doing this, you might need to type "lookupd -flushcache" into a Terminal window. If that doesn't work but the line appears, reboot...

Same problem here. Works when launched, then gets stuck trying to refresh.Reply to This
