Lightroom 5.2:  Map is offline

Hi,
I have been having trouble with the map module in Lightroom 5.2 64bit on a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. It goes blank and after a while displays "Map is offline". Additionally the Adobe Air application "The Photographers Ephemeris" also cant display its map and Lightroom can't connect to Flickr. So my best guess is that somehow something is preventing my applications from accessing web services such as Google Maps and Flickr (Internet connection is fine, Lightroom and Maps work on my Laptop in the same network, and Google Maps works in different browsers). The Web module and Flash galleries in Lightroom work though. I think the cause for this is that a couple of days ago I used "Clear Browsing Data" in Chrome with all options (including "Clear data from hosted apps" and "Deauthorize content licenses"). I'm not entirely sure how Chrome could have an effect on these other apps but the timing of my problems really fits and before that everything worked fine.
I've googled the various problems which often tied the Maps problem to Adobe Air and Flash Player. I've already tried the following possible solutions without effect:
Removed the #Security folder in AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player
Added, removed, modified "ape-host:" in the "air.1.0.trust.cfg" in AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#Security\FlashPlayerTrust
Restored the entire AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\ folder to an older version
Uninstalled and Reinstalled Flash Player
Run Lightroom without Flash Player or Adobe AIR installed
Run Lightroom and the other application as an Administrator
Reinstalled affected applications (tried it with "The Photographers Ephemeris")
Windows Restore
None of these had any kind of effect. I also tried reinstalling Adobe AIR. That had the effect that the Maps Module worked for a short time before going blank again and showing "Map is offline". That was last night after which I put the PC in Sleep mode. This morning I wanted to try it further and Maps again didn't work at all. (Except for entering and exiting Sleep mode nothing was done with the PC).
The only thing left I can think of is to completely reinstall the OS, which I would really prefer not doing
I'm really hoping someone else here has some experience with this sort of problem
Thanks in advance for any ideas and tips you might have

  • Lightroom 4.4 Map Module blinks "Offline" when moved or zoomed.

    Lightroom 4.4 Map Module blinks "Offline" when moved or zoomed.
    As stated, every time I move the map with the mouse or zoom the map using any method the map blinks into "offline" condition to redraw. This is not only annoying but drastically slows down work flow.
    How can this be stopped?

    Thanks,

    To see what I see, turn off your internet by shutting off your wireless card or disconnecting your ethernet if hard wired. The map will turn into a grey full-earth map and have the note "map is offline."
    Woody 77 may be correct but the problem follows me from location to location and happens when others are getting no problems at all.
    I was wondering if there was some form of optimizing I could do to improve performanc. Perhaps I am having a problem with my airport card.

  • "Map is Offline"  I Cannot Run Map

    I cannot open Map in LR 5.6  I'm using a Dell 8500 with Win7 .  With LR 4, I could open Map and plot images.  With 5.6, when I click on Map, I get "Map is Offline," with the rotating circle.
    I am online, with cable connection to broadband.  I can get everything else except LR Map, including Google Earth and Google Maps.  I have reinstalled LR and Adobe Air and restarted the computer.

    Hi Jerryc41,
    It might help to accept the Application "Lightroom 5" in your Firewall.
    Sometimes Security programs will not allow activity from other application trying to connect to the internet.
    You can also try with a different Connection (Switching from Wifi to Cable connection)
    Hope this helps!

  • How much cache is available for apple maps & how long do maps remain offline?

    Vector maps are stored in iphone 5 so that they can be used offline. This is the only good feature of the ios6 maps but how long do the maps last offline?

    Maps Mad wrote:

    Not true. Offline data access is based on the app, which can opt to save maps (vector or raster maps) for use offline. Here's a source of geo apps that work offline http://bad-elf.com/pages/compatible-apps Many are intended for offline use so you download maps for a select country or state/province and needn't worry about internet or mobile phone service.
    As of iOS 7.1, Apple Maps stores only the last viewed area necessitating an active data connection (eg, wifi or cellular) to refresh geo-data as navigating. Google Maps can be used easily but the map data must be explictly saved while online.

  • Why is the "Lightroom Help"(F1) and the "Map Module" Offline?

    I ask because everything requiring Internet connection thru Lightroom appears fine, such as the Web Module! There is nothing wrong with my Home Network nor any usage of the Internet, except when it comes to the Map Module and contacting "Lightroom Help"(F1) from the HELP Menu within Lightroom! I have been using Lightroom for a couple of years without encountering this issue and am baffled as to how to address solving it. Any input would be appreciated!

    This is a well-known issue with Lightroom. Lots of adjustment brush usage on a particular photo will cause high CPU usage.
    If you need to do a lot of brushing, you may be better off doing these tasks in Photoshop.
    By the way, I have no idea what SSBOD means, I have never seen that acronym before.

  • Ovi map search offline problem

    Whenever I search for a location offline on my E72, I end up with no results available.
    After fiddling with my phone for the better half of a day (including first using online search then turning off the internet to use offline search), I tried deleting all the maps on my memory card and installing only the maps for the areas I need through the OVI suite. Having read earlier threads on this topic, I was sure to wait until the index files were fully transferred.
    Now the offline search works, but only for locations within my own city. For locations in the neighboring city, though only a few dozen miles away, I end up again with no results available.
    Is this normal or is there any other way I can try fixing it? Thanks.

    Hi sherryglass
    Unfortunately I think it is also related to size of country, as with world maps on E72 I can do detailed search of UK "Offline" but say for example USA it has to be "Online"; that said access point in OVI Maps application can be via WLAN or network.

  • Mapping to offline media

    I copied a project from one computer to another.   All the media is contained is several subdirectories under a main project directory.  When the project is opened on the new computer all the media appears under Project Assets, but it is all offline.   When the project is first opened it prompts for the location of the first image in the timeline.   However, there are about 300 images in the video, so would like to avoid mapping to them individually if possible.   Is there a command that will search for and map all the media in its new location?

    Joe,
    Welcome to the forum.
    ATR has given you some viable options.
    The PrE Project file (PREL), uses absolute Paths to link to the media in the Project. If any part of that absolute Path is changed, or missing, then PrE cannot follow those links. When you moved things to the second computer, it is very likely that the absolute Paths were broken, and most likely as drive letters changed.
    One can duplicate the folder scheme in the second computer, if it has a drive letter available, that matches that on the first computer. As an example, if the media was on the D:\ on the first computer, but now are on the C:\ of the second computer, Moving those media files, in their exact folder structure to D:\, would likely solve the issue. If this is not a possibility, then I recommend letting PrE do the relinking. It will do this, for all media assets in each folder, once the first one has been located. This will need to be repeated for each media asset folder, but otherwise is automatic for ALL used media assets in THAT folder. This article on "Where is File ___ ?" goes into more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4598705#4598705 Also see this article on Media Offline: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3561281#3561281
    I often migrate Projects between computers, and for that task, I use external FW-800 (IEEE-1394b) HDD's. I first set the drive letter of each of those external HDD's to be the exact same, in the OS of every computer, that will work on that Project. Then, when I Import my media, usually Copies of the files, in each folder, into the Project, the absolute Path to that media is the same, including the drive letter. This article goes into more detail on using external HDD's: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4542396#4542396 This setup would only be useful to you, at the very beginning of a Project, and not once media assets have been Imported into the Project from a previous absolute Path. Also, this article on Folder Setup might be useful for the next Project: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4028231#4028231
    I think that the easiest method to get your Project easily from one computer, to another, would be ATR's recommendation to go back to the Project on the first computer, and use the Project Archiver, to Copy that Project and all media assets, to an external HDD (remember to set its drive letter in the OS of both computers, before you start). Then, the links via the absolute Paths will be the same, and you should not get any Media Offline, or the "Where is file ____ ?"
    Good luck, and please report your progress,

  • Lightroom 5.2 map module not displaying maps

    I am having all sorts of problems with Lightroom 5.2 and wish I'd just stayed with Lightroom 4. I've already posted about not being able to import directly from an SD card in my laptops reader, and have at least found a work around to that (copy files to hard drive them import - I see others have found the same thing and it works just fine).
    Now I have realised that the map screen in the map module is blank. I had this problem initially with Lightroom 5, and then it seemed to resolve itself. It is refusing to resolve itself in Lightroom 5.2 however. I've searched on the web for similar problems, and have found some responses to blank map screens in Lightroom 4, but they are so technical I haven't got a clue where to start trying to follow them.
    So, I am a simple soul who needs a simple answer. I am using LR 5.2 on an HP laptop running Windows 7. In the map module, where I already have GPS data (from a Canon EOS 6D) it is displayed in the metadata, and the little pop up box shows the number of photos at selected locations etc. But the central map screen is black. If I search, the screen stays black although it appears as though it has gone to the location. The Navigator screen is blank too.  And yes, I am connected to the internet and LR5.2 seems to be able to find the internet (I checked by going into the web module).
    Can anyone help me please. I like to put GPS locations on my photos prior to upload to Flickr, and whereas they are there from photos from my 6D, they don't exist for photos taken on my Canon Powershot.

    A work-around that I am using is to run Lightroom as an administrator on my Windows 7 system (right-click on the icon and choose run as administrator).  Everything then works ok.  I also needed to run as an administrator to be able to update some plug-ins I was using.  I fixed the plug-in update issues by changing the permissions on plug-ins folder.  I suspect that it is a similar issue with the maps.
    I have not figured out what folder or files need to have the permissions altered to stop Lightroom from working in the unelevated state but if someone reading this knows please share.  I saw some posts related to the same issue but on Macs but the Windows configuration is different.

  • Want to remove pics from iBook and move to external HD, and have Lightroom 1.2 map to the external h

    In an effort to keep my hard drive on my iBook G4 from filling up I plan to use the external hard dive for my pictures, and store them all on the external hard drive right from step 1 (upload from camera) to final version. The issue right now is that i have about 9k pics on my hard drive that I need to move over and have Light room map to the new location. I am also contemplating changing them all to DNG.
    regards
    AN

    Just a word of caution when moving your image files from your iBook to your external drive. I have experienced database corruption when doing this at the folder level. I have a bug filed with Adobe regarding the problem. When it occurs it is pretty dire if you don't have a current backup of your database (i.e. Catalog) file. In my experience, the corruption can not be fixed by any method other than moving the image files back to their original location and replacing the database file from a backup.
    The work around that I found worked fine was to manually create the folders on the new drive (from within Lightroom) to match the hierarchy (or a new hierarchy if you so desire) on the internal drive. Then for each folder on the internal drive select all the images and drag them to the new location. This is more time consuming but better than recovering from a backup.
    Regardless of how you do it I would strongly recommend making a backup of your database file before you move the image files. Once you are done (if you do the move at the folder level) go into one of the folders at the new location and let the images render (either thumbnails or using loop mode). The corruption does not show up until the previews re-render. If there is a problem you'll see garish colors that you can't fix in the Develop Module. Note this bug only shows up when you are move images between volumes (different disks). If you move within the same volume it seems to work fine.
    Hope that saves you some grief.

  • How do you start the lightroom app on an ipad offline

    I have a Mac with Lightroom 5.6 and a new iPad mini 3 with the current lightroom app. I have synced three test catalogues and enabled offline editing for one so I can review photos and share them on the iPad offline. However the Lightroom app wants me to log in before it starts which I cannot do offline. I have scoured the web. Am I missing something obvious here? How do I start the app offline?

    One odd thing is that you say you have synced 3 catalogues. You can only sync one. Do you mean collections?
    As for signing in, initially you will have to be online, either through a SIM card or on a network, because you have to point the app to your account and let it sync photos. After then, when you're offline you don't need to sign in start using the app. You're not signing out, are you?

  • Lightroom 5.7 Map module so slow it is almost useless

    I've used iPhoto and Aperture a lot but because Apple are withdrawing these programs soon apparently, I decided to upgrade to Lightroom.  Everything else works fine, but the map section is just so slow.  The map layers take far too long to download.  My internet connection is 8 Mbit broadband.  I'm upgrading to fibre optic later this week, so I'll see if that makes any difference - but I see no reason why it should.

    you can´t change folders from inside the MAP module
    Yeah, you can't change folders in a number of the modules.  However, the Any Source plugin lets you do that.
    GEOSETTER has many more features and is my preferred tool for tagging

  • Any word on Apple Maps having offline maps?

    Coming from Windows Phone 8, I was very accustomed to using offline maps on my Lumia 920. With Nokia Drive, I was able to download an entire state map and use it to navigate offline. Since I rely heavily on GPS navigation for my job (and have limited data), I really hope Apple is working on something similar to Nokia's navigation app for WP8. Any word on this?

    OK so I agree that you can get the basic street layout in airplane mode.
    But I want to be able to get all the data - at very least the street names, and ideally landmark pins - which I don't currently get. Is there any way to control what level of detail is downloaded?

  • HELP: Lightroom Shows Files missing or offline but they are not.

    I have been using LR 2 for some time with no problems. Just got back from a trip to Turkey and copied my CF Cards to my image drive (not networked), manually, without Adobe Downloader. I then used Bridge Batch Rename on the images in the folders I created. The files are all there and named correctly. (Lightroom had not been run until this point). I then imported them all into LR 2, however there is a question mark next to each image, and when I locate the file LR 2 tells me the file is already in the catalog. I tried deleting the catalog folders, moving the originals into another folder and re-importing but the same problem exists.
    What am I doing wrong? I loved LR up until now, but this has me really frustrated.
    Thanks.

    Hi Mike. The filenames didn't have a "/" in them. They were similar to this: \Turkey 2008\Disk 1\Turkey Sept 2008 _MG_0081.JPG
    The only way I could get LR 2 to find the images was to remove the folder from the Catalog, delete the folder of the drive and then use the LR 2 "import from device" command. This imported the files, and I was then able to use LR 2 to rename them.
    I still don't understand why they were not "findable" in the catalog though. I should be able to copy images to an internal drive, rename them with any program, then import them into LR 2 and have them available. Perhaps LR 2 was "watching" the folder and automatically added the originally named images to it's catalog.
    Confusing huh?

  • Lightroom 4.x Maps location

    Hello,
      I love the new Maps feature in LR 4.x. However, there is a small annoyance:
    - Select some pictures and to into the Maps module
    - Search for a city, as an example "Paris"
    - select some of your picture, zoom, and click on the map where you want to assign your picture position
    - Do "Add GPS ..."
    - Perfect. Now, you want to set some others coordinates for the next pictures. This coordinates are pretty close to the just done.
    - Select the next pictures...
    - LR 4.x reset the position to "Paris" .
    To my mind, LR should only reset the position to the previous search if the user actually "search" and not automatically.
      Thanks

    That's been bugging me too. I've taken to deleting the search term from the box once I'm 'at' the location if I'm adding images to various positions within that location - this avoids it resetting back to the default location co-ordinates each time you select another set of images.
    Despite this minor niggle, I too am loving the map feature.
