Lightroom 4.4 Map Module blinks "Offline" when moved or zoomed.

Lightroom 4.4 Map Module blinks "Offline" when moved or zoomed.
As stated, every time I move the map with the mouse or zoom the map using any method the map blinks into "offline" condition to redraw. This is not only annoying but drastically slows down work flow.
How can this be stopped?
Macbook Pro 2010 i7 8GB RAM
Thanks,

To see what I see, turn off your internet by shutting off your wireless card or disconnecting your ethernet if hard wired. The map will turn into a grey full-earth map and have the note "map is offline."
Woody 77 may be correct but the problem follows me from location to location and happens when others are getting no problems at all.
I was wondering if there was some form of optimizing I could do to improve performanc. Perhaps I am having a problem with my airport card.

  • Lightroom 5.2 map module not displaying maps

    I am having all sorts of problems with Lightroom 5.2 and wish I'd just stayed with Lightroom 4. I've already posted about not being able to import directly from an SD card in my laptops reader, and have at least found a work around to that (copy files to hard drive them import - I see others have found the same thing and it works just fine).
    Now I have realised that the map screen in the map module is blank. I had this problem initially with Lightroom 5, and then it seemed to resolve itself. It is refusing to resolve itself in Lightroom 5.2 however. I've searched on the web for similar problems, and have found some responses to blank map screens in Lightroom 4, but they are so technical I haven't got a clue where to start trying to follow them.
    So, I am a simple soul who needs a simple answer. I am using LR 5.2 on an HP laptop running Windows 7. In the map module, where I already have GPS data (from a Canon EOS 6D) it is displayed in the metadata, and the little pop up box shows the number of photos at selected locations etc. But the central map screen is black. If I search, the screen stays black although it appears as though it has gone to the location. The Navigator screen is blank too.  And yes, I am connected to the internet and LR5.2 seems to be able to find the internet (I checked by going into the web module).
    Can anyone help me please. I like to put GPS locations on my photos prior to upload to Flickr, and whereas they are there from photos from my 6D, they don't exist for photos taken on my Canon Powershot.

    A work-around that I am using is to run Lightroom as an administrator on my Windows 7 system (right-click on the icon and choose run as administrator).  Everything then works ok.  I also needed to run as an administrator to be able to update some plug-ins I was using.  I fixed the plug-in update issues by changing the permissions on plug-ins folder.  I suspect that it is a similar issue with the maps.
    I have not figured out what folder or files need to have the permissions altered to stop Lightroom from working in the unelevated state but if someone reading this knows please share.  I saw some posts related to the same issue but on Macs but the Windows configuration is different.

  • Lightroom 5.7 Map module so slow it is almost useless

    I've used iPhoto and Aperture a lot but because Apple are withdrawing these programs soon apparently, I decided to upgrade to Lightroom.  Everything else works fine, but the map section is just so slow.  The map layers take far too long to download.  My internet connection is 8 Mbit broadband.  I'm upgrading to fibre optic later this week, so I'll see if that makes any difference - but I see no reason why it should.

    you can´t change folders from inside the MAP module
    Yeah, you can't change folders in a number of the modules.  However, the Any Source plugin lets you do that.

  • Sent e-mails offline when moving to new Mac

    Hello
    I recently upgraded to a new MacBook Pro, after my Powerbook started having problems.
    One of faults it developed was that the Firewire port no longer worked. So, I couldn't use the Migration application.
    After a lot of messing around, I managed to get everything up and running on the new Mac, except for the fact that all my sent messages now bring up the message: "The message from ... concerning “...” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.
    I've seen for this site that it is because of an overstuffed mailbox, and have gone through the steps to try to retrieve them, but to no avail.
    The messages are still on the old Mac. What's the best way to get them onto the new Mac (I really need them for reference), and is there a neat archiving system?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Saul,
    This message is the result of an indexing issue, and not from being Offline or the absence of the message data. Open this mailbox and click on Mailbox in the menubar, and choose Rebuild. Wait patiently for Rebuild to finish, and be aware that if you are seeing the list of messages, that list may temporarily disappear, be returning. If only this one mailbox is the problem, then Rebuild will resolve the problem with the index.
    I cannot tell how you proceeded to migrate the Mail folder assests, so there may be other problems. In Mail 2.x, there is one index for all mailboxes, and all movement of messages and mailboxes must take place in the Mail application itself to keep the index current. Rebuild will take care of individual mailboxes, but sometimes we must recommend a more global reindexing -- stay in touch and report progress.

  • Why doesn't the Map module work with Lightroom 5.6 on OSX Yosemite?

    Since upgrading to OSX Yosemite the Map module won't display the roads or satellite images with Lightroom 5.6.  Sometimes it will download a small portion of the imagery but then it just displays the message "No imagery available".  If I try and zoom in all I get is a blank view.
    It's nothing to do with my internet connection as Google Maps in Safari comes up instantly.

    Adobe acknowledged this problem some months ago in the official Adobe feedback forum, but it still hasn't been addressed:

  • Lightroom Map Module

    I opened the Map Module in LR 5.3 and LR stopped working.  I have tried shutting the program down and restarting and also completely shutting the PC down and restarting and nothing will work.  LR starts and I can not close the module before the same notification comes up telling me that LR has stopped working.  I need help

    Apparent Solution Found: Apparently the Beta release of the Mac OS update is fixing this. Review the recent posts at this link.  Lightroom: Issue with Map module in OS X 10.10 (Yosemite)

  • Why is the "Lightroom Help"(F1) and the "Map Module" Offline?

    I ask because everything requiring Internet connection thru Lightroom appears fine, such as the Web Module! There is nothing wrong with my Home Network nor any usage of the Internet, except when it comes to the Map Module and contacting "Lightroom Help"(F1) from the HELP Menu within Lightroom! I have been using Lightroom for a couple of years without encountering this issue and am baffled as to how to address solving it. Any input would be appreciated!

    This is a well-known issue with Lightroom. Lots of adjustment brush usage on a particular photo will cause high CPU usage.
    If you need to do a lot of brushing, you may be better off doing these tasks in Photoshop.
    By the way, I have no idea what SSBOD means, I have never seen that acronym before.

  • Lightroom 5.2:  Map is offline

    Hi,
    I have been having trouble with the map module in Lightroom 5.2 64bit on a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. It goes blank and after a while displays "Map is offline". Additionally the Adobe Air application "The Photographers Ephemeris" also cant display its map and Lightroom can't connect to Flickr. So my best guess is that somehow something is preventing my applications from accessing web services such as Google Maps and Flickr (Internet connection is fine, Lightroom and Maps work on my Laptop in the same network, and Google Maps works in different browsers). The Web module and Flash galleries in Lightroom work though. I think the cause for this is that a couple of days ago I used "Clear Browsing Data" in Chrome with all options (including "Clear data from hosted apps" and "Deauthorize content licenses"). I'm not entirely sure how Chrome could have an effect on these other apps but the timing of my problems really fits and before that everything worked fine.
    I've googled the various problems which often tied the Maps problem to Adobe Air and Flash Player. I've already tried the following possible solutions without effect:
    Removed the #Security folder in AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player
    Added, removed, modified "ape-host:" in the "air.1.0.trust.cfg" in AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#Security\FlashPlayerTrust
    Restored the entire AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\ folder to an older version
    Uninstalled and Reinstalled Flash Player
    Run Lightroom without Flash Player or Adobe AIR installed
    Run Lightroom and the other application as an Administrator
    Reinstalled affected applications (tried it with "The Photographers Ephemeris")
    Windows Restore
    None of these had any kind of effect. I also tried reinstalling Adobe AIR. That had the effect that the Maps Module worked for a short time before going blank again and showing "Map is offline". That was last night after which I put the PC in Sleep mode. This morning I wanted to try it further and Maps again didn't work at all. (Except for entering and exiting Sleep mode nothing was done with the PC).
    The only thing left I can think of is to completely reinstall the OS, which I would really prefer not doing
    I'm really hoping someone else here has some experience with this sort of problem
    Thanks in advance for any ideas and tips you might have

  • LR4 Offline -Map Module etc

    I'm at a loss, been using Lightroom for past 3yrs with no network problems but recently when attempting to use the Map Module I am receiving a Lightroom Error stating that the Map is "Offline" and to check your network connection? My Mac Pro is connected to everything throughout my Network with no problems except for the LR connection. I'm unable to trace to any past installation of any Apps or Software, it just appeared out of the blue a couple of weeks ago. As stated, any and all apps and software requesting a network connection to the Internet or Home Network connects without any issue-all EXCEPT LR 4!
         Anyone who may have heard of this issue and may have a suggestion as to how to address this mystery would be greatly appreciated. I'm totally baffled!

    I have issues with tha Map module in LR 4.2 as well. My internet connection is fine, but I get a flashing world map and message "Map Offline" every time Google Maps are not updating instantly but have a response time of more than half a second. This sometimes happens several times a minute. This is extremely annoying and I would consider this a bug. Can the time-out for detecting that maps really are offline due to no internet connection being available be increased somehow?
    PS: Sorry for the stupid screen name, but I didn't want to spend more than 10 minutes receiving error messages saying that all sensible names were unavaible.

  • Lightroom CC: In the Map module, why is the Map Tracklog"Auto-Tag Photos" choice inactive?

    In the Lightroom CC Map module, the "Auto-Tag Photos" choice in the Main Menu > Map > Tracklog submenu is inactive (grayed out) when I try to tag GPS metadata from a tracklog to a selected photo. However, for the same tracklog and selected photo, the Auto-Tag 1 Selected Photo choice in the tracklog menu in the Toolbar is active and I can successfully tag the photo with GPS metadata from the tracklog using it. (Lightroom CC (2015) running on Mac OS X, Ver. 10.10.3). Can someone tell me why this might be?

    Auto-tag greyed out - solution
    1. Click on Start(Windows)+R in your Windows 8computer to open the Run Dialog box.
    2. Type %appdata% in the Run Dialog box and hit enter.
    3. Open the Adobe folder.
    4. Open the Lightroom folder.
    5. Open the Preferences folder.
    6. And rename the file Lightroom 5 preferences.agprefs to Lightroom 5 preferences.agprefs.old
    7. reopen the Lightroom and check if your  issue has resolved.

  • Lightroom LR4 - Map Module - Sticky mouse

    Lightroom LR4 - Map Module - Sticky mouse  Hi folks.  When using the mouse to pan the map, the map sticks to the mouse for a while even when you release the button. This means you can pan teh map to a new location, release the mouse and the map continues to pan where you subsequently move the mouse to.  Note: this does not happen with Google maps in the browser, so a problem with LR.  Its' highly annoying to pan the map and then hold the mouse still for 2 or 3 seconds to avoid the map moving

    Anyone?

    I'm only including info about the first thread because it's the one that crashed, but I have the whole thing if there's like to be something useful there.
    It always seems to be related to displaying the map, and the WebKit reference above seems to back that up.  Sometimes it'll display some tiles and then crash, and sometimes, like this time, it crashes before it displays any of the map.  This has happened with earlier versions of OS 10.9 as well, but I can't find those diagnostic reports to see if they point to the same thing.  I've tried throwing away my Lightroom preference file and purging the cache, but neither has helped.  It's happened equally with photos that are already geotagged and ones that have no location information.  I don't think I've ever seen it happen if I quit Lightroom after importing and before switching to the Maps module, so maybe that's a clue.
    Has anyone else had this sort of issue with the maps module?
    Rob

    I frequently see this problem. Have not yet found a solution. It is not a fatal error -- no data is lost, nothing seems to be corrupted. Since I'm not a programming expert, I can't really guess. I do get the impression that Lightroom, for all it's fantastic features (and I do think they're fantastic), it is very slow (though I am working on pre-Intel Mac).

  • Lightroom 4.2: Wrong time in map module

    In Lightroom 4.2 I use the map module in the following way:
    1. Load a gpx-Track
    2. Select one or all tracks
    3. Select the photos to be tagged
    4. Select the correct time zone shift (normally the time interval of the track contains the time interval of the photos)
    5. Tag the selected photos
    Now all photos are tagged correctly. But there is one small bug:
    moving the mouse along the track displayed in the map does not show the local time including the time zone shift but the UTC without time shift. This is somewhat confusing. I think this bug should be removable easyly.
    Best regards
