Slavetothelight - the problems you are seeing with WeatherCat are symptoms of your failing hard drive - the problems may occur at a certain drive temperature or it may be when WeatherCat accesses a certain file - the indication of the this is the IO error posted from the kernel. The solution is either to replace the internal drive and restore from a known good data set, or boot and run off an external hard-drive (as I posted above).

Irving, Googling the Finder's -600 error shows a few cases of applications not opening with the same error, but no apparent cause (that I've been able to chase down). It may be worth contacting Apple - they'll know more about what this error means and may be able to suggest a solution.

Hi Weather Folks

I was able to open WC1 and also WC2. Seem to open from the finder but not from the dock. Lots of strange things lurk in the heart of Mavericks.

Still have the serial adapter problem. Maybe I will buy a WH1080 which has usb.

Dock items don't seem as flexible as simple aliases/shortcuts to their original items and their locations no matter the installed OS. Easiest solution is to just "Remove from Dock" and reinstall. ;)

How old is your station? (Re: Weathercat 2 not opening.)

Dear Irving, X-Air, and WeatherCat troubleshooters,

X-Air's advice is on the mark.  If the dock icon isn't working trying removing it and installing the WeatherCat icon from the working application.

How old is your Le Crosse station?  Replacing it might be a good investment.  While the Le Crosse stations appear to be tough for their cost, they don't last forever.  The WH1080 stations are inexpensive, but WeatherCat users are able to use them with few problems and thus far a reasonable durability. 

I am sorry that serial to USB adapters are getting hard to come by.  I have a telescope and model railroad DCC setup that I could control with my computer if I could get reliable serial to USB adapters.  Both are now over a decade old and indeed the technology is passing them by.

Cheers, Edouard  [cheers1]
