Yosemite Currency update

[hafager]

I just recently discovered that my currency calculator hasn't updated the currency values for quite some time on my mac. Is this a known bug, or have I done something to stop it from updating?

Anyone got a suggestion how I might update it?

There is an update button. Mine was very old and it just updated when I clicked update.

Where did you find the button?

Are you talking about using Spotlight? If so it uses Yahoo as the data source.

If referring to the Calculator the Update button is impossible to miss.

I know, but it doesn't update the value on my mac. I have a problem when translating into NOK (Norwegian Kroner), my local currency. Even though yahoo shows the correct value when i check the website, spotlight shows a very old value.

Edit:
Ah, i see. I think I have to update it in the calculator for it to pull the latest value from yahoo.
EditEdit:
It didn't work for spotlight after all. Tried to reboot after it had pulled the most recent value from yahoo, and it shows correct in calculator, but not in spotlight.

Hmm, I also have this problem. The Spotlight currency conversion rates are not updated. Anyone?

Hi,

Unfortunately it looks like OSX doesn't auto-update that particular setting.

Take a look at http://kalmi.kinja.com/how-to-update-spotlights-currency-converter-1682248114

Restarting spotlight after clearing the defaults didn't work for me, probably there are other services involved. Had to reboot my mac, and then it worked.
