Here’s how to change the Weather Widget on your ipad from Cupertino to something a LITTLE closer to home.
The Weather Widget on an iPad
Widgets are those blocks of info on your initial screen. You can add, move, delete, and even stack them [stacking means there are several widgets in the same block on the screen – you scroll through them to se the additional info.]
Start the process by pressing and waiting on the widget.
Long press on the widget
A menu will pop up.
The Widget menu
Click on “Edit Weather”.
Not exactly close to home, is it?
Click on “Cupertino”, and type “Macon” – or wherever you’d like to see the weather at a glance.
Pick the correct Macon from the list. Yes, there is more than one in the US.
Wonder if we’ll get some snow this winter?
Not today…. or anytime soon!
The same process is used to modify or delete the other widgets.
Click the “DONE” button, top right, to finish the job.
Why this happens: You typed in your passcode too many times
How to fix it: Bring your ipad to the iPad office [or the ARC, if the office is unoccupied.] We will have to wipe it, which can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day or so [depending on what else is happening tech-wise.]
Hopefully you setup your Notability backup to Drive correctly, AND your photos and videos are backing up to Drive as well.

Second: Make sure your pix and vids are backed up to Google Drive
Google Photos –> [If you’ve never set it up, you’ll need to login and make some selections. Use your uncommon sense.] –> Click the top right icon. You should an indication that the backup is happening.
Third: Bring the iPad to DS1 [or the ARC, if DS1 is closed].
A replacement iPad will be prepared for you. Keep an eye on the iPad Hospital to see when your replacement is ready.
Fourth: You will be billed $100 – a “deductible” for the repairs.
