Google map sometimes not appearing

When I moved to the desktop that is assigned to iPhoto, (and it is already launched and open there as usual in my setup) and select a photo, (including one that has a pin in the Google map) the Google map states in an big text overlay that I am not connected to the Internet. I am. The relevant light on the modem is lit, the Internet has been used just before and just after, I do not suffer from line dropouts and no other software has Internet trouble.
Sometimes the map appears after a few seconds (perhaps after I switch momentarily to another application etc.and back again), and sometimes I have to quit iPhoto and relaunch.
Any ideas please?
Please note that I am currently running in Safe Mode because iPhoto has been hanging in normal mode. However, the Google map problem exists also when running in normal mode.
(I think I saw a post about something at Google having been changed recently. Is that the problem, and is there a fix?)
Thanks.

Go into Safari's Privacy preference pane and click on the Details button. Then search for any Google cookies and delete them all. Restart both Safari and iPhoto and the maps should appear.

Google maps does not work

I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my Macbook Pro. No matter which browser I use, Google maps will not render the map detail - instead it just shows the target location with a letter 'A' or whatever, but the background map is just grey with no features. It makes no difference how long I wait either. I have used the various features in browsers to clear out the 'junk' and have used 'reset safari' when in that browser, Still no joy. I have had the MBP for two years and I expect this simple feature to work as it does on all my Windows PC's and iPhone. I am at my wits end and feel somewhat duped into the Apple world by the triumph of 'form' over function. I want to love my MAC but it aggravates me instead because I spend too much time trying to figure out how to get basic features working when in fact they should work first time without user intervention.
Has anyone got a 5 minute fix for this ridiculous fault please? I cannot upload a screen grab either because (1) this Apple forum wont allow upload of my screengrabbed jpgs of tiffs, or (2) my MBP wont allow it (despite them being within the expected size limit). Another spectacular own goal by Apple.

Have you tried a PRAM and an SMC reset? They're longshots, but don't take long to try.
PRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
SMC: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Have you run Apple Diagnostics from the disc(s) that shipped with the computer?
Since the problem occurs in all browsers, it still sounds like a video hardware or video RAM or maybe a software issue having to do with layers and rendering.
The map layers aren't getting rendered, or if rendered, aren't getting displayed.
Do you have any browser add-ins? Pop-up blockers?
Since you have two video chipsets, it's possible that might be related to the issue.
This non-Apple website talks about switching between chipsets on the various MacBook models so equipped, and points to a free 'donationware' program for the menubar that lets you easily switch between chipsets:

Trying to think of other software that might help pinpoint the problem, does the iPhoto Slideshow 'Shatter' template work? Working properly, it 'shatters' images into several color layers and rotates them in and out to build and deconstruct photos.

Autofill in Google Toolbar does not appear to be working with Firefox 4 - Aways saying Autofill not available for this page even on pages I have used it before FF4 upgrade

Autofill in Google Toolbar does not appear to be working with Firefox 4 - It aways gives the message "Autofill not available for this page". This is happening on pages I have used Autofill on before upgrading to FF4 from Firefox 3.5.x

i did not see a solution posted - I tired what I read. Going back to an old version may solve the problem but it is a stupid solution so I have yet to do that.
I am on version 4 and autofil this does not work :

Uninstall version 5, then Google "google toolbar version 4", follow the link to FileHippo.com, and download and install the last version 4. When you reinstall it, make sure you turn off the option to perform automatic updates.

Google Maps buttons not functioning

Google Maps does not function anymore in Safari. None of the buttons work, including the search button (I can type in an address, but nothing happens when I press the mag. glass icon, or return), or any of the smaller icons in the corner including zoom in/out, help, tools etc.
Works just fine using Firefox, and I did update Flash to the latest version.
Any help appreciated--thanks in advance.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

Can't find my iPhone on iCloud because Google Maps is not available????

Can't find my iPhone on iCloud because Google Maps is not available???? Really and also using the new maps on iOS ***** because every time I put the exact correct address it shows the wrong location. Hmmmm not happy Apple, get it sorted.

No, not at all possible. The device has to be on and it has to be connected to the internet (wifi or cellular connection). Tracking uses internet data, so a device that is off cannot be found remotely.

Pin myself but found Google Map is not real time map (few years before)

I recently pin a place on my event, but I found google map is not a real time map (not a few days different but few years different) It is an old map. I discovered this from the satalile map.
Any one can help on this?
Thanks

I think this is a problem that affects some areas of the world, especially Asia where governments are a little more sensitive. It is the same here where from my window I can see a new bridge completed some 3 years ago that is not shown at all.
As Larry suggests: Feedback; although the source is Google and not Apple.

The keyboard sometimes not appearing until restarting, why?

Do you use a BlueTooth keyboard? If you do and that keyboard is too close the the iPad the keyboard may not pop up. Turn off the keyboard or turn off Bluetooth if that is the case.

Why Google maps is not on Egypt store ?

I searched App Store to download Google maps but it's not there. I got the link from a web page and when it tried to open the itunes store I was told that this app is not available for the Egyptian store ... why ???

Unless it can't be there due to restrictions by the Egyptian government then you will need to ask google - Apple can't distribute apps where there don't have licenses to do so (it's possible that it might appear over the next few days).
As an alternative you could access it via Safari (http://maps.google.com) , or try Nokia's maps app.

Google Map doesn't appear automatically when a prompt changes value

Hi everybody,
I'm using OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0 updated to 11.1.1.6.1 and I'm facing a curious problem.
I created a dashboard with three sections.
In the first section there is a prompt which shows the Top number of providers.
In the second section there is a table on the left side which shows how many members we have for each provider, and a pie chart on the right side.
In the third section there is a narrative view used to see a google map with ALL the providers' locations. This map have to show ALWAYS ALL the locations (no matter what I selected as Top number of providers, so it will be always the same).
So, when I change the Top number of providers, the table and the pie chart refresh automatically, but the map doesn't refresh, or better it doesn't appear ! (I don't see the map anymore, I see a white space....). To see it again, I have to refresh the entire page.....
This functionality worked in the past, but with this version it seems that it doesn't work properly....
Has anyone faced an issue like this using the narrative views with google maps ??? This is a problem that I need to solve urgently.
Any help or hint will be appreciated
Thanks in advance
Alex

It looks to me like this has nothing to do with the digital signature prompt and everything to do with a badly formed URL. In a URL the domain name is not case sensitive but all the path information is case sensitive. Whether one should use http://www.mycompany.com/Abc/Xyz/ or http://www.mycompany.com/abc/xyz/ depends only on what the HTTP server expects. So which of these does the HTTP server expect?

Google map does not recognize coordinates in links

When touching a google map link such as
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=37.749420,-121.958588
in any iphone application it correctly launches the google map application but does not recognize the coordinates. The very same link works correctly in pc based google maps. This looks like a major flaw which prevents using location links in iphone, yet I am surprised I did not find any discussion about this issue.

Well, it appears to be a bug in the Google Maps App. I tried your URL and got a map of the Indian Ocean. However, zooming the map as big as I could, I found a red pin in San Ramon, CA. It looks like the coordinates are located accurately, but the map is not centering on those coordinates.
This would be a good subject for http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.htm

Google Map & Links Not Working...

Hi Guys
I recently purchased ilife 08, mainly to get the functionality of being able to embed a Google Map into my website. This works fine on my Macbook, but when I try and upload it to my website (not a .Mac address), whilst the page displays with a big "hole" where the Google map should be, the Google map itself does not populate the page. Any ideas if this is a known "bug"?
Also, my Welcome page worked fine with iweb 06, but in iweb 08, the links to the other pages of my site at the top of the page are not visible at all. I'm currently stuck with my iweb 06 built site and unable to take advatage of the updated 08.....
I posted before about these problems, and the advice was to make sure that the feeds, Media and script files were uploaded to the site. However, these are all there....I'm really not sure at all what I'm doing wrong!
Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks!

Since posting the above, I was looking again at the files on the uploaded site and I noticed that whilst I had a folder called Scripts on the site, when I went into that folder, and then in to the Widgets folder inside of that, there was only the 'Detail View' folder inside of it - no Google Maps folder or Navbar folder!!! Not sure why this has happened.
I've now tried uploading these folders, but they're not appearing as folders, they just look like files for some strange reason.
It sounds like this is the reason for my problems, but how do I get these folder to upload correctly?
I feel like I am soooooo close to getting this to work now!!

Phone numbers are not showing up on craigslist and google maps is not working.

I uploaded the 3.6 version of firefox and although learning a new look and figuring out what changes had been made were doing ok then the other night the power went out it shut the comp down and when my husband started it back up it had him update it again now my first page when I open it shows yahoo instead of ask, and when I use fire fox to open craigslist lots of the post do not have phone numbers showing up on them that does show up if I use internet explorer to view CL. Also, It will bring up google maps but when I put a location in the box to see it on the map and hit the search button it only starts to load the page with the little word loading... in the center above the location search box but then it says it's done. This also does not happen when I use IE. We tried to restore to a previous date (which there were only a couple to choose from, don't know where the rest of them went) but once the comp restarted itself after supposedly restoring it comes up and says it was not able to restore it properly. I did not have any of these problems with the first update to 3.6 but I think the update that was just loaded 3.6.11 or something like that has really messed something up or it's just not right some how.

Issues with phone numbers not displaying properly can be caused by the Skype extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

Map ID not appearing in "Edit Map IDs" dialog box

I have RH HTML 8. I am adding new topics and assigning map IDs to those topics via the Edit Map IDs dialog box.
All of my map IDs appear in the BSSCdefault.h file as well as the project's .hm file. I even manually added the topic string to the project's ali file. However, it is not appearing in the Edit Map IDs dialog box. If it's not appear there, where does this dialog box get the map strings and map IDs from?
No FARP685 string:

Peter,
I think your discussion of this problem could explain the situation and propose a workaround more simply than it does.
Based on your article, I assumed that Robo displays only the built in Word list styles such as List and List Continue (since those were the only styles showing up in the style mapping dialog and since your example shows matching a Robo style named List Mapping to a Word built in style named List). I assumed I would have to match my Bullet style to a style named List in Word, and match the indented bullet style to List 2, and so on. The actual situation is that Robo, for some godforsaken reason that only idiots would understand, will not show a Word style if any numbering (bullets or numbers) is applied to it. That is, one does not have to avoid a class of styles called “List styles”, one only has to avoid applying numbering to the styles until later.
Thus the workaround is to create the word styles (with names that match the Robo styles!) that contain every attribute you need EXCEPT the numbering. That is, I can link Bullet to Bullet and Number to Number and Indented Number to Indented Number, and so on and on, as long as I have all the Word styles in the template with their numbering set to None.
Then after I generate the document, I can modify the styles to add the appropriate numbering, and voila!
Currently scrolling the doc & modifying styles. Might be a glimpse of daylight.
