Google Earth Jerky Movement

I have the latest version of Google Earth 6 (6.0.2.2074) and am extremely disappointed at the choppy / jerky movement I am seeing.  I have a mid 2010 15" MacBook Pro Intel Core i7 2.66 GHz with NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512MB GPU.  My internet speed should be adequate at 8MB.
I have tried downloading earlier versions of Google Earth, 4 and 5 but these have the same issue on my machine. I've tried disabling all of the layers and turning off effects in the Google preferences panel.  I've also tried using a smaller window.  The jerky / choppy movement is always present.
While Google Earth is very stable and so far has never quit on me - this glitch is very irksome. 
Is this 'normal' for Google earth on a MacBook Pro?

The problem is not flash related.
I booted into my XP partition and found the performance to be exactly the same.  So, it's either the case that the hardware of my MacBook isn't up to the job - or Google Earth just does not produce smooth flowing graphics.
I may take a trip to the Apple Store and try out Google Earth on some other 'desktop' Macs.

  • Can't launch i movie or Google Earth since leopard installed.

    Keep getting IMovie and Google Earth message "quit unexpectedly". Added Leopard and Ilife o8 since last night.
    Also are all the updates being offerd by Apple because of Leppard.

    Upgraded the OS? This is usually an installation issue. There is an easy fix. Do a forum search for ProKit.

  • Where did Google Earth go when I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox?

    I clicked the popup that upgraded to the latest version of Firefox - and clicked to give it permission to make changes to my computer - and my Google Earth was no longer there. I restored my computer to before I had made the Firefox changes and my Google Earth was there but I got a blank page when I tried to open Firefox. Then I re-downloaded Firefox and Google Earth is gone. I would like to have both. If I have to do without one I would give up Firefox and use Internet Explorer until the problem gets fixed.

    I doubt it is a Norton Security problem. Maybe. I solved it by deleting the account and re-installing it.

  • [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.

  • New Google Earth does not run on my 24" iMac

    This morning I downloaded and installed the new Google Earth 4.0.2 beta on my 24" iMac. GE loads but crashes as soon as I attempt to navigate to any where. Now I am trying to download the previous version 3 from Google but it just downloads the newest beta and because I told the new version to replace my old version I have no version. Any body else having the same problem? I have 2.16, 2gig, 7600, 500MB iMac.
    24" iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    It runs fine here. Since you are having the same problem on the new machine, and the machine you migrated from (sounds like you migrated your Home folder) why don't you try this:
    1. Quit Google Earth
    2. Navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (Note: "~" is the Short Name for your user account, which can be viewed in System Preferences --> Accounts)
    3. Move the file 'com.Google.GoogleEarthPlus.plist' to your Desktop.
    4. Relaunch Google Earth and see if the problem persists.

  • Lion + Safari made Google Earth stop working properly

    Upgraded to Lion now Google Earth Plugin won't work on Safari anymore. It works perfectly on Firefox, Chrome and Opera. I would like to keep using...please help. Thanks.
    It worked FLAWLESSLY (Safari &amp; Google Earth) on Snow Leopard before upgrading to Lion.

    No problem using Google Earth with Safari 5.1.1 on Lion v10.7.2 here.
    Perhaps the preferences are corrupted.
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences
    Move the following files to the Trash.
    com.google.GoogleEarthPlugin.plist
    com.GoogleEarthPlus.plist
    com.GoogleEarthPlus.plistlockfile
    Restart your Mac. Try launching Google Earth.

  • Google Earth hangs Firefox 10.0.2

    I'm seeing Firefox hang when using Google Maps. Specifically when switching to the Google Earth option on Google Maps. The problem is most likely to happen during rotations to view the horizon but can also crash when just moving around.
    I didn't used to have this problem on older Firefox versions (3.x) and the problem currently does not occur on Google Chrome or IE9.
    I think it may have something to do with OpenGL since it's using 3D rendering. I am using Windows 7 with an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 and have updated the drivers to see if that fixed it but to no effect.
    Could Google be pulling a Microsoft and making it so the app does not work well? Not my real question, just thinking out loud.
    Real question is does anyone else see this problem?
    Details:
    Windows 7
    Firefox 10.0.2
    8GB RAM
    Dual Monitor (occurs on either monitor)
    GeForce 8800 latest drivers
    Problem varies from just a hang with the everlasting blue circle or Firefox on some occasions just exits during navigation.
    To reproduce just go to http://maps.google.com and then switch to Earth mode. Zoom in as close as you can to the terrain and rotate around to view the horizon. Then move around till crash occurs.
    Thanks
    Darv

    Let me know if you are unable to reproduce it. I still have a number of add-ons turned off but it was when I switched RightToClick on that the problems returned. I switched it on an off several times and every time it was on, Google Earth would just stop dead in it's tracks after a bit of navigating.
    Thanks for the prompt reply.

  • Using Google Earth in Premiere Pro

    You might need to use a video screen-cap program, like Camtasia, or CamStudio, to "record" your Google Earth movements. If so, then this ARTICLE might be of use to you, when it comes time to editing the footage. Also, Jeff Bellune has added some recent replies to other Camtasia threads, that tell more about using the TechSmith CODEC's.
    Good luck, and let us know what you find the best,

    NO.You need Google Earth Pro version which can export video tour.Then import in Premiere.

  • Moving google earth bookmarks to the iphone

  • 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,

  • Google Earth 7.1 - planet is spinning like crazy

    Hi,
    today when I opened Google Earth, the window came up, the overlays loaded and then the planet startet to spin like crazy. Everything I tried did not stop the spinning. It spins fast and constantly moves from north to west and back to north. It is unusable and I have no clue, where that is coming from. I googled the problem and could not really find any usable info, that's why I am posting it here now.
    I have rebootet my machine, deleted the app and redownloaded it from Google to no avail. Still doing the same crazy thing. I just used it last week a few times and all was fine. I have not done any hardware changes or hook ups to my iMac since then. For all the years I use Google Earth, I have never had anything like that.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Cheers
    Peter

    Check your USB devices.
    I had the same problem and went through the whole delete and reinstall the application rigmarole, including preferences and everything that I could find, even in the hidden /User/Libray folder, and nothing worked until I Googled the problem and found the answer: that by unplugging my (rarely used) USB steering wheel, quitting Google Earth (easier said than done as it was very sluggish in responding) then restarting Google Earth, the application now works perfectly.
    Relief!
    So it seems that, in my case, a USB device was sending the earth into a spin.

  • Google earth will not run since downloading yosemite

    google earth will not run since downloading yosemite

    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • Update of Google Earth 4.3 Continually Crashes before opening...

    I just update the Google Earth from 4.2 to 4.3....upon trying to open it, it crashes every time I attempt to do this...??
    Any input from You?

    HI Robert,
    Try deleting the Google preference file: com.Google.GoogleEarthPlus.plist
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate that file, drag it to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
    Try to launch Google Earth now.. If that doesn't help try this:
    If you can't log in to Google Earth, you'll need to delete these files from your directory folder. Please follow these steps to delete 'dbCache.dat' and 'dbCache.dat.index':
    From the Finder, open the Home Directory icon labeled with your user ID.
    Select Library > Caches > Google Earth.
    Look for the 'dbCache.dat' files.
    Ctrl-click on both the 'dbCache.dat' and 'dbCache.dat.index' files and select Move to Trash to delete these files.
    These files will be regenerated the next time you log in to Google Earth.
    I found the last tip here at Google Help: http://earth.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=77769
    Hope something works!

  • I can't remove Google Earth

    Google Earth was messed up and I was unable to use it so I deleted it from the applications folder and installed the latest version. It still didn't work so I used the included uninstaller. I noticed the old Google Earth was still in the Applications folder so i moved that to the trash. Later i noticed that Google earth was still in the lauchpad, and I cannot remove it from there. Please Help!

    Right click on the Google Earth icon in the Applications folder (not on the dock), select 'Move to Trash'

  • Can you use Apple Maps to make guided tours and video recordings, similar to Google Earth Pro?

    Hi Fellow Apple's
    I am using Google Earth Pro to make tours, I'm using the build in Movie Maker function to export the tours as video clips. Now my question is if there's anyway to do the same in Maps.? Perhaps I'm not the only one looking for a feature like this?
    Cheers,
    Mick
