Google Maps no longer works with my S4

Ever since I bought my S4 a few months ago I have had problems with Google Maps keeping the satellite signal, but after installing the latest software upgrade on 12/11/2014 (NG6 to NK1) it has become useless. When I open Maps it will usually find my location and give me directions to where I want to go, but as soon as I tap "Start Navigation" it becomes totally worthless. If it can find a signal at all, then it will take me the wrong and longer way out of my neighborhood. But more often it just stops working and I get the dreaded "Satellite Signal Lost" message. I have cleared the cache, done a Force Stop and uninstalled/reinstalled the app...all to no avail. This is really frustrating because I have over the past years relied on my phone's navigation more than my Garmin because it is/was usually more accurate. I also see from other forums/discussions that I am not the only person having this problem. Is there anything anyone can suggest to fix the problem?

I have turned off the app, cleared all data and the cache, restarted the phone, and turned the app back on, and it still did not work. Then I went to the Google Play Store and uninstalled the app from there, since there is not an option to uninstall from the app settings. I then restarted the phone and reinstalled the app from the Play Store. I then updated it. I tried it going to my local Walmart and was pleasantly surprised, at first, that it now showed the correct directions out of my neighborhood...where before it had been showing the wrong and longer way out. It held the GPS signal and gave me turn-by-turn directions to Walmart, and I was thrilled. Then on the return trip I was right back to square one...as soon as the car started to move the directions stopped and I heard "GPS signal lost" all the way home with it never getting a signal the whole way.

Google Maps no longer works for my Verizon Blackberry Curve 8330. What is wrong with Google???

For the past 11 months, Google Maps and Gmail have worked wonderfully with my Verizon Blackberry Curve 8330. Tonight, all of it stopped working. I tried to load Google Maps and failed. Kept getting the error message "Network Unavailable, blah blah blah". I tried restarting the phone, removing and reinserting the battery, until I finally uninstalled Google Maps. Now when I point my browser (OperaMini) to m.google.com to download and reinstall Google Maps, it says "Sorry the Google Maps application does not work on your 8330." This makes NO sense. Why would Google suddenly remove support for my phone? Is there a work around? Before uninstalled, I tried all sorts of tricks with editing permissions to no avail.
Also, Gmail is refusing to check mail, occasionally saying that a data connection is needed. That also makes NO sense as I have great phone reception.
My internet (OperaMini) and normal calling and texting capabilities are unaffected.
In conclusion: Is there ANY WAY to get these Google applications to reinstall and work on my phone? Or has Google screwed me over? Any help would be tremendously appreciated!
Thanks,
Hyun

Google maps no longer working on safari

Intermittent problem of late. running safari v5.0.5, and I can no longer get google maps to work. I get no map, and then a yellow bar with 'still loading - slow?' etc inside at the top of the page. the troubleshooting link doesn't help. any assistance much appreciated. its difficult to make travel plans for Europe when you relying on this! I am currently using O2 mobile broadband, though I have no idea whether this is in any way relevant. TIA.

I've had the same problem for quite a while. I just thought it was because my computer is so old (2001). I also have a problem with Google images. A few images pop up and that's it.
I resorted to using Yahoo for images and maps, and haven't had a problem.

Google maps don't work with Firefox?

The Google Maps Web Widget, added to my site, does not seem to work in Firefox. All I get is text, no map. I seem to remember this in iWeb 08 as well. Works fine in Safari and Camino. Can anyone else confirm.

Do you see the maps in this demo page They were both created with the HTML Snippet but with difference code from Google. I'm able to see it with FF3.

Copy & Paste into Google Maps no longer works after 4.2 update

Anyone else seem to be getting this problem? Copy and paste into Google maps was extremely useful. Now this doesn't seem to work for me after updating to 4.2.

1. Copy something into the clipboard (doesn't matter what it is)
2. Open Google maps
3. Try to paste into the search bar. You don't get the paste option.
4. Try to type something into the search bar then attempt to copy what you just typed. No options appear to copy what was just typed in.
This used to work prior to the 4.2 update. Very useful when receiving incomplete addresses via text message or from a web page.

Google maps don't work properly with ADF

Hi!
I have tried to integrate Google maps with ADF http://blogs.oracle.com/middleware/2010/06/integrating_google_maps_with_adf.html. This tutorial works good, but then I insert the same code in real ADF application Google maps don’t work properly, there are problems with zoom buttons, map doesn’t display right region but shows another one (does it with offset) etc.
Can be this issues connected with ADF Security? Or there are some other things in my project which doesn’t allow JavaScript to work correctly?

andrejs,
I just tried the tutorial (works fine) and the tutorial with ADF security (works fine). It seems to be something more specific to your application than anything else.

Firefox no longer working with Mac OSX 10.4.11

i'm using Mac OSX 10.4.11 and Firefox 3.6.12. As i understand it any of ur upgrades no longer work with this computer system. ( I tried to upgrade last week and ur site said upgrades no available gfor my platform version. Last week every time i conducted a search (default Google) i was redirected to http://search.creativecommons.org/?q=crossword+puzzles&sourceid=Mozilla-search.what gives? Have I been hijacked? also sites that I use daily are clipped and entire pages are smaller than usual . see www.shockwave.com
If u are no longer supporting Mac users, please let us know in advance or at least post it on ur site. Can no longer use Firefox...

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Cmd+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
Firefox > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
If you open about:crashes, you should get links to online crash reports. You could post some of the crash IDs for review by volunteers here.
Given the timing, another issue might be some ads or media in the page. There are some add-ons to block such things...

Facebook and Slacker no longer working with Firefox. Still work with Explorer. Until a week ago problem did not exist.

I am for about one week not able to input information on Facebook. Also the Facebook page appears in a huge font. Regarding Slacker I do not see any available online radio stations. Until about a week ago everything worked fine. At present I can work with Internet Explorer, but at present can no longer work with Firefox.

ISync no longer works with MacBook

I imported all data from my old Powerbook G4 into my new Intel MacBook 2.16 bu iSync no longer works with my phones. It starts the process then stops abut halfway through with an error message. I have tried all the solutions proposed in the discussion but the problem remains the same.

Fortunately Sony Ericsson phones are my particular area of expertise!
This is more than likely caused by some corruption in either one of your Contacts or one of your Calendars.
I have made a web-page with step-by-step instructions to go through to determine the cause of sync errors, and then what to do to resolve them:
http://mobile.feisar.com/isync_tips.html
That page usually solves 99% of iSync issues.

Image Capture no longer working with Samsung SCX-4500W

Out of the blue, Image Capture is no longer working with my scanner (Samsung SCX-4500W). Until today, I have had no problems, but now Image Capture will only complete the "overview" but not the "scan" itself. I get the message that the "scanner reported an error." I have tried restarting, unplugging cables, etc. but nothing works. I don't think there is a problem with the scanner itself -- it is able to scan using the built-in "scan to PC" function, but not Image Capture. I am using OS X 10.6.1. Any suggestions?

Try running a repair disk permissions. This is done via the Disk Utility application. Reply if you need help to do this.
Also, do you have another application you can scan with? Note that Preview will use Image Capture, so you need some other application. As a test, you could download Picasa from Google which works well with TWAIN scanners.

Google contacts no longer syncing with iMac

My Google Contacts no longer sync with my iMac running OS X 10.6.8. Several other threads on this, but no answers that work for me. I know Google no longer supports the exchange style sync and I've tried the CardDAV procedures with no success. Can someone give me procedures that will work for the Mac Address Book?
Thanks

Yes I am aware of that and already tried following their instructions. Doesn't work on my iMac. Pretty much every user that has had success with that procedure was using an iPhone or iPad. I'm thinking there is a difference with the Mac for some reason. When setting up the CardDAV with the iMac it states "Address Book couldn't discover the account setting for the CardDAV server "google.com". Make sure the user name and server address are correct, then click Create." I've tried my username is just my username and I've tried it as my full email address. I followed other threads suggesting to clicking SSL and trying a couple different port numbers, but still no success.

My iMessage no longer works with the new is07 update how do I fix this

My iMessage and some of my applications no longer work with the new software update. How do I fix this?

I called Apple Support after trying many fixes suggested online. They directed me to the procedure on the following page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268?viewlocale=en_US
I did the erase and restore option they suggested since I had tried a pile of ther things suggested on posts and blogs and they did not work. I even waited the obligatory 24 hours, thus the restore from backup option was what they suggested. I have a 64gig iPhone 4S and it took about 1.5 hours to complete the entire operation seeing that I am using about 54 gigs of that capacity.
Warning: I lost all of my emails and all of the data files from one of my map programs so be sure you have everything that you really need from your phone store elsewhere before wiping your phone. I thought that the backup on my computer would restore everything but obviously NOT.
Hope this helps.

Iweb Widget Google Maps doesn't work anymore

Hello, I wanted to update my website and I experienced that teh Widget of Google Maps is not working anymore. You can drag it on the page and then enter an adress. If you choose "apply" it is not working. How can I solve this problem?

This probably means that you are using iWeb 08 or iWeb 2 and you are correct that this will not run on the latest software, however iWeb 09 or 3 will, so if you want it to work, you will have to purchase iWeb 09, contained in either iLife 11 or iLife 09 via Amazon.
No, of course you won't find iWeb for sale in the App store because as this thread has been telling you, both it and MobileMe have not existed for at least that last 2 years and Apple withdrew support for iWeb sometime ago along with MobileMe, which has now become iCloud.
If you want iWeb 09, you will have to purchase it from Amazon - this is the only way that you can get it, but now might be a good time to move on and use some software that is both sold and supported such as EverWeb. Take a look at it. It is designed to be like iWeb but you can do a lot more.

Can I install old version of google maps that was installed with ios5. What's the app called?

Can I install old version of google maps that was installed with ios5. What's the app called?

You can't, it was built-in to iOS and is not in the store. Google are supposed to be working on app version of maps, and in the meantime you could try accessing it via Safari : http://maps.google.com

Google maps has stopped working in Safari

Within the last week, Google Maps has stopped working in Safari 6.1.1. It previously worked fine. The page starts to load, and then hangs. It displays the small rectangle that says "loading...". I have tried deleting Safari preferences. This had no effect. Any suggestions?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
