Google earth compatibility with 10.6.8

Current version of Google Earth crashes immediately upon launch. Google appears to be aware of issue but their on line guide has not solver or indicated what issue might be.
Has anybody experienced this and foun a culprit?

Was having same problems, this seemed to work for me (disconnect from internet, launch GE, uncheck start-up tips in GE preferences, quit GE, reconnect to internet and relaunch GE): http://groups.google.com/a/googleproductforums.com/forum/#!category-topic/earth/ problems-and-errors/uOMuR5sBCXc

Google Earth compatibility with MAC?

I'm surprised to see so little discussion regarding Google Earth & the MAC platform. I've checked with Google and have searched several forums. Everyone agrees there's a problem, but who can offer a remedy - or even a theory? I have an IMac 5.1 running OSX 10.4.11, and the only thing that's worked for me so far is to blow away the Google Earth application & then install it again. I just do that each time it quits working, but it's getting old, and it's a pain having to set up preferences etc. each time. Do I just resign myself to the idea that, because I have a MAC, I can't use this awesome little tool?

Hi, Jimmy. I recently discovered that my old version of Google Earth — 3.1.0617.0, the last version that ran in Panther — no longer connects to GE's database, and when I try to open it I get a "Required Update" notice. This will finally provide the impetus for me to upgrade to Tiger or maybe even Leopard, both of which I've happily ignored so far. Panther has been a great OS, doing everything I needed or wanted it to, but I've realized for some time that eventually the system requirements of some application (or version of an application) I couldn't do without would probably force me to upgrade my OS. Google Earth is that app for me.

Is google earth compatible with mountain lion?

Is google earth compatible with mountain lion?

I just installed the plug-in for the first time. Works in Safari but not Firefox (asks you to install the plug-in), even after restarting my Macbook Pro.
So I agree with the OP that it's not compatible with Mountain Lion

Is google earth compatible with os x lion?

Lots of discussion on various websites about serious Google Earth problems with OS X Lion. but surprisingly cannot find same topic on Apple discussions -- or am I searching in the wrong place?

i'm having trouble with GE with OS 10.7.4 -
running a MacBook Pro, mid 2011 version, fully updated. neither GE v 6.2 or the earlier v6.1 would work with my computer after attempting several reinstalls. all i get is a white screen on startup, with visible toolbars on the top and left side. it enters full screen mode automatically, and seems to not be able to reduce to a window in the main desktop. i've tried the problem solvers on the google help page, but one of the solutions involves going to the "library->cache->google earth" under user name, but there's no "library" file there.
is the problem with my browser? (firefox 13.1, recently upgraded from 12.x)
is the problem that i'm using multiple spaces?
do i have too little graphic power? (pretty new computer, i'd be surprised?)
help....!!!
system info available if think it will help...

Google Earth Freezes with Intel Graphics

I'm using an I7 K2700 Sandy Bridge. Google Earth shows funny fragments before a picture stabilizes and if you dare to zoom to quick it freezes the whole X-server.
Unfortunately also no log entry. My previous PC with NVIDIA video and closed source driver worked perfectly with Google Earth.
Doubting the 3D acceleration I tried using "Neverball", which works perfectly.
Any suggestions I could try out?

Thanks, that's my trouble too!
"When i downgrade lib32-intel-dri lib32-libgl to 7.11 version everything seems to be OK."
Since so far this is the only conclusion which is not a really clean solution we might keep this issue open.
If Google Earth is incompatible to the latest versions of lib32-intel-dri and lib32-libg there isn't much the AUR maintainer can do.

Google chrome compatibility with SP 2010

Hi All,
I am trying SharePoint 2010 document library with Google Chrome, but chrome downloading document locally, so my changes are not applying in document library. I googled and found a “IE Tab” add-ins. But here end users facing difficulty to use this add-ins.
Is there any other way to use SP2010 with Google Chrome? Please advise.
Thank you

MS authored and released an a Browser Matrix for SharePoint 2010 some time ago, you'll be able to find this here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263526(v=office.14).aspx#supportmatrix
With the exception of some Active-X apsects, Chrome should work just fine.
Can you advise what changes you're making to the library?

Google Earth Plugin and LabVIEW: High CPU usage when adding placemarks

Hi,
I posted this question on stackoverflow earlier this week but feel it might be better suited to the LabVIEW community specifically so I'm reposting here:
I'm writing an application which uses the Google Earth Plugin to display events on the globe. Each event is a single point kml placemark with an icon which is a 3kb png file. Placemarks are uploaded to the plugin as they are received by the software. I am experiencing increasing CPU usage with the number of placemarks that are added.
I have tested displaying a new placemark every second and running until the software running the plugin completely froze (graph attached). The GEPlugin (green trace) stopped responding (i.e. the globe did not respond to the mouse) at around 1200 placemarks added and CPU usage was at ~30%. When the software itself (red trace) froze the plugin was using around 50% CPU and ~3700 placemarks had been added). After the freeze, no new placemarks were added which caused the software to respond (but not the plugin) so I could clear all the placemarks. After the placemarks were cleared from the globe, the CPU usage of the plugin returned to around 5% CPU.
So what I've seen is that GEPlugin CPU usage increases linearly with each kml placemark added. Is this the expected behaviour/ a normal limitation of the plugin? If not is there a more efficient way of adding many placemarks to the globe?
I am using GEPlugin version 7.1.1.1580 (API version 1.010) and LabVIEW 12.0f3
Please see the test results attached. Any input greatly appreciated!

Hello,
I have had a look at your graphs and understood what you are trying to do. To me it seems that as the image gets more complex it gets harde to render which wold likely cause increase in CPU usage resulting in the freeze. I would suggest you try running the program on anoher computer to check on the RAM front of things. If this is a limitation of the GE Plugin then unfortunately I can not do much to help, but if you think this is a problem coming from your LabVIEW code then you can post your code here and I can take a look.

[SOLVED] Google Earth doesn't work with xf86-video-ati

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with the open-source ATI drivers. I haven't had much luck finding out anything from anywhere else, so I'm hoping someone here can help.
Whenever I start Google Earth, the graphics run EXTREMELY slowly, almost as if it's running on a system with low memory. I'm running an Acer Extensa 4420 with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core 64-bit processor with 2GB of RAM. As mentioned before, I'm running on the open-source xf86-video-ati drivers, but this is the only app that gives me problems. GL screensavers run fine, and glxgears runs without any significant input. Running Google Earth in terminal also gives no output.
And I'm not sure if this is related, but closing Google Earth also crashes X.
Here's xorg.conf:

Is it possible to create a google earth kml or kmz file with photos from aperture?

It is possible to obtain a plugin for Lightroom that will create a single google earth file that includes all geo tagged photos on a track viewable in google earth. Does anyone know if this is possible from within Aperture?

Frank,
Thanks for your quick post. My question involves the zipping up together a batch of geotagged photos along with the track, not necessarily the procedure for importing tracks; I am already familiar with that. I would like to do this from within Aperture. Since the first posting this morning I have downloaded Picasa for the Mac. I know I can do what I want with that software. Thanks again.

Why does Google Earth search crash with 10.8.5?

Everytime I try a search using Google Earth, Google Earth crashes. It worked fine before updating the OS. I've tried reloading Google Earth, all to no avail.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Working with WMV Google Earth Video

Howdy. I am attempting to integrate a Google Earth movie I recorded (WMV format) into my project and to put it lightly... it's not going well. Not only is it unable to render the timeline in the project window when it gets to the wmv footage (just gets stuck while audio continues), but it takes an insanely long time to render... six hours for a 30 second clip.
I took a shot at transcoding the clip using handbrake to mp4 but it crashed instantly when added to the premier timeline.
Sorry for the ametuerish question. As you can tell, I'm new at this. Any help is much appreciated.

Good news. AME is a good "converter" too, and is often overlooked. While it might not have the range of some dedicated conversion apps., when it can work with footage, it does a good job.
Thanks for reporting your success!
Good luck,
Hunt

What is wrong with the Google Earth app for iPad 3?

I just got a new iPad 3rd gen, and the latest version of the Google Earth app. But everytime it tries to composite the 3D info, like buildings and such, it crashes. Every. Single. Time. What's causing this problem? Is it the app or the iPad? I have an iPhone 4 and the app works fine. Could use suggestions on how make this app work correctly.

The app support asks me to synch the iPad to iTunes on my iMac and then to look for a particular folder on my iMac that's supposed to store crash logs, and then to attach the logs to an email to send to them to review. But no such folder exists. I sent them an email anyway and told them why I couldn't get the logs. But I also noticed all the language in the app support referred only to the iPhone app, and didn't specifically referred to the iPad app, which I know has some differences, such as the 3D imaging on the iPad. As long as I'm not looking at a map with a large city with lots of buildings, the app works fine. But if I try to look at DC or NYC, forget it. The app must be using too much ram and crashing. But I don't know how to turn off the 3D feature since it seems that's what's causing the problem. And I'm wondering if I'm the only iPad 3 user having this issue. Like I said, the iPhone app I have works fine, but it doesn't seem to have the same 3D feature. I really like Google Earth and use it frequently on my Macs and iPhone, but it not working on my brand new retina display iPad 3 is frustrating. I hope I can get this corrected.

     3/2/13 5:24:42.505 PM Google Earth[53575]: +[NSDictionary scriptingRecordWithDescriptor:]: unrecognized selector sent to class 0xacdb248c
Anyone know why?
The GE AppleScript dictionary has the following entry:
GetCurrentVersion v : Get the current version of the Google Earth client
      GetCurrentVersion record : record of major, minor and build numbers
→ list of integer : version fields
AppleScript and Google Earth work fine for other users on this machine. It only fails on my account.
I have tried deleting all vestiges of GE from the machine and reinstalling, but this hasn't worked.
Any other ideas?

tell application "System Events" to get has scripting terminology of application process "Google Earth"
Result=true
AFAIK, AS works with all other applications. It only fails with GE and only on my account.
softwater, I apologize if my original post was not specific enough.
I thought that the title "Why Does AppleScript Fail With Google Earth?" made it clear that the AS failure was with GE. I guess not.

Google earth won't associate with web link

I hope someone out there has a simple solution.
I am trying to open the attached web page in google earth. http://www.stcatherines.co.uk/index.php/download_file/view/1202/1162/439/
I have previously been able to open the link by using the GE icon in the open with drop down box, but that has now disappeared.
Can anyone tell me how to get it back or any solution to the problem of opening a file or web page in google earth.
Many thanks

Hi ..
Delete the currently installed Google Earth app and the Chrome browser.
Don't just drag the apps to the Trash because that won't delete all the app's associated files.
Instructions here > How To Completely Uninstall Software under Mac OS X
Then restart your Mac then re download Google Earth and Chrome Browser.

Google earth compatibility with 10.6.8
