Hi Mark,
A hug thank you my Calculator is Updating Currency Exchange Rates again
without quitting.
This is what I did ... (sort of following your instructions) :
user/library/application support/calculator/financialrates.plist
.... dragged this to trash .... calculator still would quit
when I click Update Currency Exchange rates .... so continued ...
user/library/caches/calculator/ ... and trashed 08 & 09 folders.
Opened Calculator & Update Currency Exchange Rates & yippeee it worked,
no quitting ....
So now I know how much I'm paying again for 'stuff' I buy from the US
of A.
Cheers,
Ronni

hmm can't say I've had that specific problem, s'pose you could try the
usual
deleting (backup first) the "FinancialRates.Plist" or any folder that
is in your ~user/library/caches/calculator" folder (ditto on the
backup)
else try repair permissions for a more general thing
as an aside I not the URL it looks up is the International Monetory
Fund's

I guess most of us mac old timers have used the mac calculator on
occasions and just using it's basic desktop functions (maybe
expanding out to scientific if they need "power to" functions) well
that's me so I don't know how long ago they added this is nice
feature to OSX's calculator. I was actually trying to see if it (the
new version) had an alternative "expanded view" such as a business
calculator (loan amortisation, perpetuities etc) instead of the
scientific functions and found the currency conversion function...
it didn't take long to find... it was right there in the menu. (just
remember to do the rates update every new day you use it OK)
Hello Mark,
For the past few days everytime I go to Update Currency Exchange
Rates the Application Calculator Quits.
I'm using OSX 10.3.2 & Calculator 3.1
Cheers,
