Google Maps not loading on my iMac

I can't get Google Maps to load on my iMac. Whenever I go to a web page that uses Google maps (i.e. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/29817682), the outline of the map loads and the scale, route etc. but the actual background map or satellite image doesn't load, it just sites there with a grey background and the status shows 'connecting to mt1.google.com'
The number on the 'mt1.google.com' may be different as sometimes it is mt0.google.com, but it would seems as though my iMac can't connect to the Google servers.
This happens in both Safari and Firefox and also any third party apps that use Google Maps.
I thought it must have been an issue with my ISP or router, but I have a couple of PC's that connect to the internet through the same router on the same internet connection. These can all connect to Google Maps OK so it doesn't appear to be an issue with the ISP or the router, it is just my iMac that has this problem.
Any ideas how to fix it? It does very occasionally manage to download the maps after about 10 minutes of trying but more often than not it doesn't.
Thanks,
Alan.

Thanks William... That has certainly helped with diagnosis. Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to adjust any of those settings within my belkin router.
Switching the firewall off in the router does allows Google Maps (and Google images that I was also having issues with) to load in both browsers and other applications. I'm a little reluctant to do this however as it doesn't really seem like a sensible 'fix'?

Google map not loading in Safari

My embedded google map will not load in Safari. Will load in all other browsers just not Safari.

Google maps use embedded HTML from Google to render content served by Google.
If some of your users can't see the google map, it could be a problem connecting to the google maps site, or a browser setting that prevents google maps from displaying.
Google has some troubleshooting tips on their site:

Afeter install ffx 4, google maps not loading: If start ffx.exe -profile , says 'missing or invalid profile '

I installed 3.x.16 and then installed 4.0 .
Now my google maps is not working. Main map page doesn't load.
One suggestion was to start-run firefox.exe -profile .
First time I did this a message came back: 'missing or invalid profile' .
Second time no message about profile, but the google map failure persists (main map page faisl to load).
Can you help?
Thanks!

Thanks TreoAide....
I Did a Reset All, Before I Got Your Post, as I Was Worried that Waiting Past the Scheduled BackUp Profile Time, Might Mess Up the BackUp Like Using BackupBuddyVFS on PalmOS.
If You Could Clarify If There is a time Limit the Profile Needs to Be Restored By.
Thank You For Letting Me Know Which Reset To Use, In Future, if I have Difficulties.
All My Applications, Except One (Expess News, I think, as I accidentaly cancelled before it got to a setting window, and know says updating, or a circle turning (I Think).
Before Reset, I Copied Photos, etc, to Laptop, After the Reset, I avoided messing about, but connected WIFI.
At This Moment, I Have Hotsynched WIFI With Palm Desktop 6.2 Access, Contacts to Contacts, and Memos and Tasks to Echo Memos and Echo Tasks, Successfully, And I Am Currently Hotsynching nearly 8500 Appointments with Notes over a Ten Year Period, Which appears to be working and am around three quarters of the way through, and has taken a number of hours, maybe 4-6 but still a quarter left of the appointments. I Am Happy, though, because this time, Echo Appointments did not stop working after 2 or 3 k, as likely works better due to cleaned up Pre, or Improvements that were promised by Chapura for the error.
Thanks Again, and All the Best....

PS Sorry for Typos.

Google maps not loading in safari to GWizz app

When using google maps in either Safari or the GWizz app it either doesn't load at all or it loads to my current location then refuses to search for either another location or a route, it just stays put. I have a full wifi signal & all other web pages are loading as normal. I am using a brand new (2weeks old) wifi/3G new iPad (& regretting updating to iOS 6!!). Is anybody else experiencing the same problem? Has Apple sabotaged google maps?!!!

I would think Apple would make their Map App as a plugin to Safari. Gives them more coverage to update their data set. Any idea if this is in the works?

Disabling hardware acceleration resolved issue with Google Maps not loading in Firefox 19

For the last few days noticed that I could no longer use Googlemaps in Firefox 19. The page would completely load then if I typed a single character into the search box for google maps it would bring up the "Still loading" text and do nothing.
Followed a couple links on the Mozilla support page and started Firefox in safemode. Maps was speedy and worked fine in safemode. I started again without safemode and tried the simplest step to see if it would resolve the issue and disabled hardware acceleration. All of a sudden maps worked again. The strange part is when I re-enabled hardware acceleration maps continued to work (go figure, makes no sense to me).
Just wanted to post my experience for others who may be having a similar problem.
System is Windows XP 32bit
Cheers.

Thanks for posting your solution. For other users who may find this thread and need more information, see:

Maps.google will not load in FireFox v3.6.6 in OS Windows Vista

maps.google does not load when a search for an address is input in the search bar. The initial page loads but there is no zoom in or out. There is no 'Get Directions'. None of these links work.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Google Homepage not loading in Safari, other browsers

I live in the Peoria, IL area and use Comcast cable internet service. I use the following: intel iMac 10.5.7, Safari 4.0.2, and Firefox 3, Cisco Linksys wireless router. Yesterday, Google homepage stopped loading on my iMac....nothing. I tried, with negative results, loading Google on Safari, Firefox, and Opera (the latter was downloaded to test my problem). I also have an iPhone and use it on the network...google works fine on the phone.
When I directly hardwire the iMac to the router, which is (obviously) wired to the modem, google loads fast a furiously. Unplug it and go back to the wireless connection...google will not load. Other webpages load fine wirelessly. I should mention, Yahoo will load but searching yields no results (it will show a continuous loading bar). This does not seem to be a modem or router problem. I had a weak wireless signal from my neighbor and was able to load a few sites except Google.
Lycos search engine works (almost forgot that search engine existed). Haven't tried Bing (Bing is gay). This is a very annoying problem. Google is my search engine of choice...use it for almost everything. Man, any help would be appreciated. I've worked almost all day (vacation day) on this problem.

I just realized this post was placed in the Safari Windows section. My bad. Anyway, my problem apparently fixed itself. I normally leave my computer on throughout the day and night. Last night, I turned the CPU off before night night time. When I awoke this morning, I was greeted by an iMac that was functioning normally. Google search engine works. Not sure what happened, but my problem seems to be fixed (for now at least).

Geometry theme and google maps not aligned

Hi guys
Sort of new to this. Here goes!
I have created a theme loaded via mapviewer as .shp file, and it looks great. The problem I have though is that I use google maps as a base map, and they are not aligned.
What have I done wrong - any ideas? Im on OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0 but have just downloaded 11.7.1 which I will install shortly.
You can see a pic showing what is wrong here
Any feedback would be appreciated!
Best regards
Jacob

You haven't done anything wrong.
It needs additional config in the database to specify the appropriate coordinate conversions.
This is discussed in detail in other forum posts and a little bit in the blog post
