IPhoto location feature doesn't think i am online

So I have iPhoto 09 up and running on my Air with my Verizon USB WLAN card connecting me to the internet
I can surf on Safari (so i know i am connected) besides the fact i linked iPhoto to both my Facebook and Flickr account inside iPhoto's interface (so i know that for this functionality it sees I am online)
But
When i go to do location tagging on my photos, the map is grayed out and telling me "Your computer is not connected to the Internet"
I've tried shutting down iPhoto and restarting, nothing makes this feature see that i am indeed online
any ideas?

I have the same problem however I noticed something.
Here's my setup:
1. iMac Alu, PPPoE internet connection, internet sharing
2. Macbook, internet through iMac's internet sharing
I found out that I can use places on my macbook, but not my iMac.
So I unplugged the network from my iMac and connect to the internet with my MacBook, then sharing the internet to my iMac via internet sharing. And Viola, I can use places on my iMac, but not my MacBook.
I don't know what's going on, but I've tried it several times and it still works.
Hope it helps

  • Updated to 4.2.1, and now the location feature doesn't work...

    Had an iPod 2nd Gen for a good few years now, and never had a problem.
    I updated the software to 4.2.1 the other day, and since then the iPod is unable to track my location.
    I use it through Wi-Fi, and before the update, it worked fine. Now when i access Google Earth, Maps, Social networking sites etc none of them can identify my location and a message pops up saying "Could not determine location".
    I have all the location functions activated, so i dont understand why the update seems to have affected this function...
    Anyone help? Its driving me crazy!

    - Have you tried resetting your iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Resetting network settings:
    Settings>General>Reset Network Settings
    Other users have experienced the same problem. It seems to be related to Apple changing the database they use for determining location by wifi. Apple used to use a service called Skyhook but now they use their own database of wifi routers with their location. It appears that you router is not in Apple's database. As of yet nobody has found a way to update Apple's database.

  • Lightroom doesn't think I'm online

    I updated to LR 5.5 w/ Creative Cloud and when I try to "Get started with Lightroom mobile" I get the Lightroom mobile pop-up window and the error "Your computer does not appear to be connected to the internet."
    I'm definitely connected to the internet.
    I'd like to give this LR mobile stuff a go but I am getting stuck here pretty early in the process.

    I just found a solution:
    - Close Lightroom
    - Rename your .lrprefs file to e.g. .lrprefs.old
    - Launch LR
    - Sign in
    - Close LR
    - Delete the newly created .lrprefs file
    - Rename your previous .lrprefs file from .lrprefs.old to .lrprefs
    - Launch LR again and sign in

  • PS Start 3 doesn't think I am on line!?!?!!?

    Thanks to all of you who helped me get PS Album Starter Edition unlocked.
    It still has the problem that it doesn't think I am online.
    The Unread Message(s) notification box in the upper right hand corner says I am not connected to the internet.
    In the HELP Menu, Edition 3.0 Help works (that is how I got here).
    Online Support works.
    Check for updates says no connection to the Internet is available.
    Upgrade to Elements works (although I didn't try the upgrade).
    Elements Online works.
    Adobe Online works.
    I have tried it with Norton Security turned off or on, but it doesn't make a difference.
    What is different? How do I fix it?

    Bob,
    I tried to access the address (URL) that you suggested and got nothing except a line saying "...perhaps there is a form..."
    I have this problem with Adobe Album Starter 3.0 and I basically get the same message about "internet connection."
    If anyone finds a solution, PLEASE post instructions.
    I can't get any information from Adobe.

    (PS I have Photoshop Elements 4.0 and basically get a different approach to the "Online Photo Service" (Kodakgallery.com) but still no photo book created and purchased through Adobe software. I had been using Kodak's Ofoto but it is virtually impossible to arange photographs at that site. I've ordered 6 photo albums and the quality is good-excellent but with Adobe I can't get my photos to the site.)

  • I tried copying a photo and pasting it in another event/group within iPhoto but the paste feature doesn't work.  This wasn't an issue with both Leopard and Snow Leopard.  Do you have any solutions or tips?

    I bought a new MacBook Pro with OsX Lion as operating system.  I use iPhoto a lot and when I tried copying a photo then pasting it to another event/group, the 'paste' feature doesn't work.  This wasn't the case with Leopard and Snow Leopard where the 'paste' feature worked.  What I did was to paste the photo first to the desktop before transferring it to the new event/group.  I brought my Mac to the Apple store where I bought it and the technicians were themselves surprised that the 'paste' feature didn't work.  Chalked it up to glitches in the Lion os.  So how do we fix this?  I just find it absurd that a feature that used to work in Snow Leopard has been disabled in Lion, and the user still has to undergo an additional step to make it work, when new technology is supposed to make things easier for users. 
    Also, hasn't anyone noticed that it takes longer for the computer to boot upon opening? 

    Instead of copy and paste drag the photo to the new event. Or flag it and use the add flagged photos to selected event command

  • My "Find My iPhone" says on map that my phone is here at my house...but it's not! So...I guess that feature doesn't work?

    My "Find My iPhone" says on map that my phone is here at my house...but it's not! So...I guess that "Find my iphone" feature doesn't work?  Very frustrating.  My iphone volume might be turned off ...does that make a difference if you use the sound locator on the find my iphone?
    Tech support INSISTS that the iphone locator on i Cloud is accurate.  How can it be?  My phone is NOT here!

    Is your device showing a green or grey dot?
    Here is some background on how location services works.

    This linksays if it can't be found it will show the last location for 24 hrs and then  it will clear the map.

  • How do I download all my photos onto an external hard drive intact without loosing iPhoto's features, important info and details? I need to delete pictures and files to make room in My mac's memory which is currently full.

    So you want to move the iPhoto Library?
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Maps location feature question (also a subway app question)

    Hi:
    I am in New York with my touch and am wondering if I need to be connected to a wifi hotspot to use the location feature on maps. I am at a friends apt and connected to her wifi and it works great. However, if I go somewhere that has wifi available but is locked or has a pay or authorization feature, it doesn't. I could have sworn that I saw somewhere that the ipod could get my location without being on wifi, just around wifi thanks
    Also, I installed the $10 iTrans NYC for the ipod via the app store. Its not really what I expected. Its good that I can use it without wifi, however, I cant get street directions from where I am to the nearest subway station. Any pointers or other apps?
    Thanks

    With the IPT, you need an internet connection for Maps to work - your location is plotted on Google Maps, and your IPT need a network connection to download the map (there's no local storage).
    Same thing applies to getting street directions to the nearest subway - that plugs the subway station into the End field of Maps, and your current location into Start. BUt you'd need an active internet connection for that to work. The only thing the iTrans NYC can do offline is provide directions from one subway station to another, since those are stored as part of the app itself.
    Hope this helps...

  • I am new to IPhoto 9.5  and I think I missed a step. I uploaded pictures but they do not appear as an event in my library.  They are in Last imported only. How can I get them into event.

    I am new to IPhoto 9.51  and I think I missed a step when I uploaded my vacation pictures. I uploaded pictures but did not import them into the library.  They are in L\last imported only.  How can I get them into events?

    If the Photos are under 'Last Import' or 'Last N Months' then they are in the Library somewhere, just not where you are expecting them to be. We know this as both Last Import and 'Last N Months' are not places, just listings of elements in the the Library.
    The two most common reasons that they can't be found is either an incorrect date on the camera or the Sorting (View Menu -> Sort Photos - or Sort Events, as appropriate) has changed.
    Quick route to find them: Right-click on one of the images in Last Import and select 'Show Event'. This will bring you to the image in the Library.

    I can not get NFL Game Pass or Siri to work???

    Well you can plug it into itunes and under summary tab hit RESTORE. This should fix any software issues that you may be experiencing. About gamepass, I dont know, I dont have it. Siri is not on the IPAD2. Only on the 3rd generation Ipad, so you wont have it(going by ipad2 under your name).

    My iPhoto is Garbage. I only have 146 picts in my iPhoto Alblum and it won't scroll anymore.In fact I can't do any commands in iPhoto it either doesn't do anything or freezes. I can't even quit iPhoto. When I try to use my Mac I can't even do most tasks because iPhoto is still trying to compete.

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • IPhoto 9.6 doesn´t display any pictures from library, upgraded

    iPhoto 9.6 doesn´t display any pictures from library. I have upgraded from an old iPhoto. I upgraded the Library also.
    Everything is inside the Library I can see but when I run iPhoto I get only a yellow note on the screen and no pictures?

    Everything is inside the Library I can see
    Do you mean by looking into the library using the Finder?
    but when I run iPhoto I get only a yellow note on the screen and no pictures?
    Then iPhoto has probably opened a new, empty library, because it could not find or access your iPhoto library. What happens, whiny double-click the Library to open it directly?
    Where is your iPhoto library stored? Is it in the Pictures folder or on an external drive?

    Definitly sounds like a physical issue with the phone. I suggest you go to your local Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for help.

    Hello & a warm welcome to the forums & Macdom!
    For Lightroom 3...
    http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=adobe+lightroom+3
    Silly Apple, you can't even buy Lion/10.7 anymore, onlt ML/10.8 after you get SL/10.6!???
    You need to get 10.6 & update to 10.6.8 first to be able to buy it from the App Store & download it.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

    It's been pulled from the online store, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard, but quick, call before it's gone!
