New Mac user - Just added some widgets. The Weather widget shows info for London England - I live in Westbury Wiltshire England. Clicked on the weather widget to make amendment - Weather Page came up on my home page (also showing London) - made the amendments OK. But....The weather widget still shows London !! Clicked on everything I can lay my hands on ...to no avail.

Clearly doing something wrong (again!) ....can't help thinking "Did i really have these basic problems with Microsoft apps ??????"

It has nothing to do with Mac vs Windows. The functionality of any app, including widgets, is determined by the developer of that app.

There is a little 'i' in the lower right hand corner of the Widget. When you hit that, the Widget flips over and you can enter your location information. Click Done and it should now show your location. Entering the location information on the web page only updates the web page and not the Widget.

Hope this helps.
