iPhone weather, stocks down -- should be back now
Thursday, May 8, 2008 -- 10:19 a.m. -- on my couch
Since early this morning, the weather app and stocks app would not return data -- update failed is probably the message most of you were getting.
I checked at 10:10 central time in the U.S. and all was working again. A quick search found this to be a topic of conversation over at Apple's discussion boards, with one thread indicating that someone called Apple and that it was being worked on their end.
So it appears to be OK now. If you still cannot get your stocks and weather to update at this time, I would recommend a simply reboot of your phone. Just hold down the top button until you get the slider telling you it's ready to power off. Then, power off, wait 10 seconds and power back on. That would allow the iPhone to establish new connectivity to the nearest tower and presumably get you back on track.
An alternative way is to put the iPhone into airplane mode and then back out, which also forces the cell tower communication. I am just used to the reboot, but either should suffice.
If you have a problem after doing these steps, let me know and I'll see what I can find out.
Thanks for calling.

What location has weather in the 80s and sunny every day?
Certainly not Chicago...
SCOTT'S REPLY: Ahhhh, you caught me. Somewhere in Hawaii, actually. I was inspired to do that because it's only 54 here today! Warm thoughts.
