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.

Map does not work on my iPad air 32?

I downloaded flightradar24 app and the maps do not show in any detail and satellite is not working at all. Despite multiple downloads it still won't work.
I now see my apple Maps app that came loaded with my new iPad Air 32 does not work. My friend with iPad 3 sitting next to me has full functionality of maps on the same wifi. Thanks.

Address book to google sync does not work

I use Google apps as my primary calendar and address book. I have them synced to the Mac OS X ical and address book (to use off line). I have the Mac OS X ical and address book synced to mobile me to update other computers and my iphone.
The net result is everything matches the Google apps calendar and address book.
Well, not so fast.
The calendar does work as expected.
In the Mac OS X address book, the Google sync option does not sync (you can enter in your user name and password fine, it appears to make connection fine, but it does not sync). The mobile me does sync as expected.
It is simple, there is not a lot you can do wrong, it just does not work.
As a work around, I am using Googles over the air sync to iPhone which does work, but that means the mac address book is getting skipped.
When does the checked Synchronize with Google happen in address book? When you open address book? Why does the option only appear if you have an iPhone? How do I get the address book to google sync to work?
Any ideas?
thanks
bob

Mine actually performs the sync, but after a few rounds of syncing, some contacts get deleted, some get their photos removed, some get duplicated, and some get removed from groups. The sync basically puts my address book through a blender. I'm syncing both with MobileMe and Google. Well, that is I tried to. I've decided not to sync with Google since that's what seems to initiate the mess.

Export Parameters in Parameterized Message Mapping does not work.

Hello, XI-Gurus!
I have a question: how to use an EXPORT parameter in Parameterized Message Mapping? seems it does not work...
(I use XI / PI 7.1)
For example, I have a follow scenario: a large message comes to XI from one BS (message contains a lot of rows), then this large message splits to some small messages (something about 1000 rows in one small message), and send small messaeg one by one from XI to second BS. So, after receive step I use a transformation step with Parameterized Message Mapping to get a total amount of rows in large message (it needs for making condition for loop in IP, for example). I want to use an EXPORT parameter to pass this number from Parameterized Message Mapping to Integration Process. How can I do it?
Of course, I know the way to how to make this scenario without any parameterizing, but I want to use exactly "Parameterized Message Mapping" like it writes in this help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/43/c3e1fa6c31599ee10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
This topic contains something about procedure how to use an EXPORT parameter, but this procedure does not work. I don't understand how to write this UserDefined Function, which I can set any export parameters.
I read this blog:
/people/jin.shin/blog/2008/02/14/sap-pi-71-mapping-enhancements-series-parameterized-message-mappings
this blog has NO solutions about EXPORT parameters. about IMPORT parameters - everything OK.
Some topics about how to use export parameters in MM in this forum marked as "answered", but this is not true.

Hi Rudolf,
It still does not works.
Great thanks for all your answers! If your advice works on your PI-server, it means that my problem not in UDF.
Step by step:
1) I create in "Signature" tab two parameters: FILE_NAME, FILE_TYPE (of course, they both Export and xsd:string type)
2) Then, I goes to "Functions" tab and create new function "testUDF" with one argument var1.
3) In body of this UDF insert 2 strings:
getOutputParameters.setString("FILE_NAME" , "Order");
getOutputParameters.setString("FILE_TYPE" , "PDF");
4) in "Definition" tab I bind function "Local.testUDF" with one field in my input message and goes to "Test" tab for testing.
5) And then I have a message window "Problems While Testing":
Source text of object Message Mapping: mm_ParamMap | urn:****.*.:****:TEST has syntax errors:

NFSv4 UID mapping does not work

Hello,
i tried several hours to get nfsv4 uid mapping, but it does not work.
#/data 192.168.20.0/24(rw,sync)
/data 192.168.20.0/24(rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,async)
/data/home 192.168.20.0/24(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async)
/etc/conf.d/nfs-*.conf files are not modified.
/etc/idmapd.conf does not exists anymore (was removed in the last nfs-utils package update)
rpcbind is running on both computers.
My mount command:
/bin/mount -n 192.168.20.70:/data/home /mnt/demeter -t nfs4 -v
When i access the folder from the server as the specific user, it works. But not from the client (same username, but other UID). When i list the upper level directory of the server from the client side, i see as username only the number (of course, because the UID does not exists on the client). I can only access folders, where the client's useID have permissions on the server (for example, when i try to access the server from the client as a user, wich userID on the server has permission to it).
What i'm doing wrong?
When searching the internet for nfs-problems / howto's, it seems, the arch configuration is a little bit different than on, for example, suse linux / debian linux. For example, it seems the option NEED_IDMAPD/NEED_GSSD seems to be obselet?
Greetings from Germany,
Sebastian

I too would recommend coordinating UID and GID. That's what I do. However, you could try the following (not sure how it will work now that /etc/idmapd.conf is gone) ...
Configure NFS4 module:
$ cat /sys/module/nfs/parameters/nfs4_disable_idmapping
If it is "Y", then:
# echo N > /sys/module/nfs/parameters/nfs4_disable_idmapping
# echo "options nfs nfs4_disable_idmapping=0" >> /etc/modprobe.d/nfs.conf
Clear the idmap keyring of all existing keys:
# nfsidmap -c
Restart ID-name mapping service:
# systemctl restart nfs-idmapd.service
I've not tested this, so good luck! :-)
(edited to change "nfs4_disable_idmapping=1" to "nfs4_disable_idmapping=0")

Can't search contacts + Google synch does not work

(1) The search field in contacts does not work. I have to go the phone app, find the person in there, then open up the contact from the phone app.(2) I have synched Google contacts with the phone's contacts. Updates to the phone's contacts transfer across sometimes immediately, but sometimes the phone goes for one month without synching. No manual sync is possible. Basically every time I want to sync a single contact for sure onto Google and onto other devices I have delete the account and reload it. Are there solutions to either of these problems?

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.
