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.

  • Social Media Modules not Displaying

    I am in the process of developing my blog and have placed the default social media modules into the blog. However, they do not display. Does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening?
    Here's the sample page I'm trying to get them to display on. They should be above the comments section.
    http://www.jennyfugadesign.com/blog/some-philosophical-questions

    I have followed the addd social media help to the letter, and mine does not display either.
    After using module insert
    {module_facebooklike, moduleTemplateGroup="", language="en_US", url="", layout="", showFaces="true", width="450", verb="like", font="", colorScheme=""}
    I checked the source on mine compared to Jenny's site, and notice my page does not have the Javascript portion of facebook code being
    <div id="fb-root"></div>
    <script>(function(d, s, id) {
      var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
      if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
      js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
      js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
      fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
    }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
    All get is this
    <div class="fb-like" data-href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/" data-layout="standard" data-action="like" data-show-faces="true" data-share="false"></div>
    So the module is putting that in only.
    Jenny I see you got yours to display, but I notice you seem to have a different URL than what the facebook plugin would provide. Is this because you also could not get the module to work, and just manually put in the FB code?
    If not then how did you get yours to work.

  • Develop module not displaying photos and tool updates.

    This problem just cropped up on a previously working install - Windows 7, LR 5.6
    The large display of the image in the develop module does not update for any of the actions selected in the develop module.  Pick a tool, make an adjustment - you cannot see the results of your adjustment on the large image.  The image in the filmstrip does display the results of the adjustment.  Selecting the crop tool causes the image to go grey.
    Using the simple tools in the library module - they all work and show the proper results.
    I have uninstalled LR and re-installed.
    I have purged previews.
    I have deleted "Lightroom 5 Preferences.agprefs".
    What next?
    David Hidding

    Further info - Full Screen mode in the Develop Module - it's just black, no image.  FS mode in the Library module works correctly.
    I have tried loading the latest video drivers for my video card, rebooted multiple times, etc.  Frustrated.
    I should also note that this problem started right in the middle of an editing session, everything was fine, and then suddenly, the image stopped updating.

  • 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?
    Macbook Pro 2010 i7 8GB RAM
    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.

  • HT5429 maps on iphone 5 do not display anything

    Hi everyone. I recently bought a new iPhone 5 and I have a serious problem with my maps app. It does not display anything I search except the grid lines and pins. please help how can I fix it.  pls send the instructions at [email protected] Thank you in advance.

    It is not a good idea to put any kind of personal contact information in such a public forum.
    First, close the maps app. Double click the home button.  At the bottom, press and hold any app until a red circle appears on the top of each.  Tap the red circle on the Maps app.  Next, reset the phone:  press and hold the power and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the red slider if it appears.

  • Map app not displaying correctly

    I recently downloaded the most recent os 8.1.3 on my iphone 4s. Now the map app (apple default) doesn't display correctly. I only see the grid and my location dot in standard view, no street names or lines, no details whatsoever. This is affecting any app that uses the apple default (Zillow, trulia, etc). My husband has the exact same iphone 4s and he has the most current os and his map app works fine. I'm thinking that I should try to reload the most current os but since it is the most current, there doesn't seem to be an obvious way since all message are "you have the most current version". I could also try to download just the most recent version of the map app but since it is a default, I don't know how. Any suggestions?

    Hi meedjmom,
    If you are having issues with your Maps application not displaying correctly, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

  • Why is the map not displaying correctly on "find my phone"  I am getting large grid squares on the map

    why is the map not displaying correctly on "find my phone"  on my computer.  I am getting large grid squares on the map.  I have tried deleting my history, tried zooming in & out, but the grid squares won't go away..

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It means that it is not connected to the Internet, so it may be turned off. Another option would be that somebody has resetted it to default settings and has changed the Apple ID, being impossible to track your son's iPhone. Anyway, report it to the police because it is the only thing you can do at the moment

  • Pictures disappear, maps are not displayed

    Some malfunction in displays - showing up in actually 2 errors:
    1. On certain webpages, the picture is shortly displayed but then replaced by the loading symbol, reload will repeat this sequence.
    2. Also, maps are typically not displayed but remain empty right from beginning (no loading symbol).
    I guess it has something to do with settings, add-ons, or plug-ins, but could not get proper function by disabling them. It is not the website itself, since the pictures show up fine with the same Firefox version on another PC.
    Thanks for help.

    I have finally solved the problem. It had to do with the user profile - after reset everything is working fine. Good luck for those who also have this problem!

  • Map outline not displaying!

    My maps on my iPhone 4S with IOS6 is not displaying. The maps won't show outlines in map app nor in the photo map also, any advice would be great.

    reset is home button plus the power button at the same time
    the restore is hooking it up to itunes and putting it back to factory setting and also putting a new ios on it. 
    and those are the steps out there. Just because some other people said it wouldnt work doesnt mean it wont work for you

  • While printing google map from FF4 its not displaying the map in the print out paper?

    FF4 displaying the google map in my website. But while printing google map from FF4 its not displaying the map in the print out paper.
    I chekced this FF 3.6 and there is no problem with this and other versions. FF4 having this problem.
    What should I do for this? Please let me know.

    What printer models is this intended for?  I assume it is aimed at the lower end inkjets, with the suggestion of loading 10-25 sheets of paper.

  • Images not displayed at all in Lightroom 1.4.1

    Hi,
    I have recently had a problem with Lightroom where all the images are not displayed. The grey tiles are displayed with the filename and the keywords all show up in the right menu however I cannot see any of the images in any module. Also the grid view is random (i.e. not a grid) just shows a blank tile whereever the mouse is. The original image files are OK and can be read in Windows and other applications. The lightroom edits are obviously missing.
    This happens with my live database, with a previous backup so I am thinking it is not a corrupt catalog. Unless opening backup catalogs causes them to be corrupted.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed, tried version 1.3.1, 1.4 and 1.4.1 with the same results.
    The only recent change to the setup was that I imported all my historical images to lightroom. These are archived as DNG and this took me to >10000 images.
    The problem occurs with CR2 (Canon 400D and 40D) JPG and DNG images. I have not tried any other formats.
    This is causing me a major problem as I have clients waiting for their images so a fast response would be great. For Adobe's benefit - I was going to purchase LR2 but the reviews said it was slower and now I have this issue I am seriously considering using another application.
    Thanks

  • Lightroom 5.7 will not display Slideshow

    Lightroom 5.7 allows a slideshow to be specified but on pressing Preview or Play a black screen displays with only the white stroke lines round the slideframe - no picture.  Slideshow advances as evidenced by the highlighted picture in the Film strip advancing.  All other modules and features work as far as I am aware.
    I'm running Windows 7 and get the same result if I try to run the slideshow under Lightroom 5 or use Quick Slideshow from the Library module.
    Is slideshow sensitive to monitor set up perhaps?.

    A long time ago, I worked at Adobe, and I still have connections there. And, using those connections, I've  been able to contact and work directly with a member of the Adobe Lightroom customer support team to troubleshoot the problems I've been having, both with the Lightroom 5/x slideshow module and also with cataloging video files.
    The troubleshooting process was rather complex and took a few hours over several days to complete. It included removing all Adobe Lightroom related files from my user library folder, completely uninstalling Lightroom, enabling root admin access to my Mac, reinstalling Lightroom while logged in as the root admin, creating a completely new Admin user on my Mac, and copying some photo and video files from an external hard drive (where I keep all my original and processed photo files) to the Pictures folder of my new admin user folder.
    After doing all this, I opened Lightroom while logged in as the new admin user and imported the photos and video files from the Pictures folder into Lightroom. The net result was that everything worked just fine. Cataloging video files was no problem, and the slideshow module worked perfectly.
    However, when I logged out of the new admin user account and logged back into my own user account, all of the problems I've been experiencing with cataloging video files and the slideshow module returned. I even tried creating a new catalog in my own user space and importing some photos and video files from the Pictures folder in my own user space into this new Lightroom catalog--but to no avail.
    While logged in with my normal user ID, trying to catalog videos hangs the import, and the slideshow module still shows only a black screen during preview or full-screen slideshows.While logged in with my new test user ID, Lightroom works perfectly.
    The conclusion from all this testing is simply that some file(s), most likely located in my user library folder, are conflicting and/or interfering with Lightroom's video cataloging and slideshow functionality. So, it's not a problem with the Lightroom application per se. Rather, it's a problem with some other application or system-related files---e.g., QuickTime, which is used by Lightroom to process video files--interfering with Lightroom's functionality.
    The challenge is identifying which file or files among the thousands of files in my user library folder are the culprits, which is literally like looking for a needle in a haystack.
    One way to solve this problem is for me to do a CLEAN installation of my operating system, and then reinstall all my applications one-by-one. This would be a tedious and extremely time-consuming process, since I have well over 100 applications installed on my Mac. Another possibility might be to log into the new admin user account I've created and try opening various applications in combination with Lightroom to see if any of them cause the conflict. (Each time you launch an application in a new user account on the Mac, that application generates its own support and preference files in the user library folder for that account. Presumably, by identifying a list of possible conflicting applications, launching them one-by-one and checking Lightroom' s functionality in combination with each application launch, sooner or later, I would find the culprit. Of course, this might also be a tedious and time-consuming process.
    I've seen enough reports in this forum and elsewhere to know that whatever is causing this conflict isn't unique to my computer. These same symptoms have appeared on other Macs and on Windows, but apparently the percentage of Lightroom users experiencing the slideshow problem is relatively small. Also, it's now clear that this is not specifically an Adobe Lightroom software issue. Rather, it falls in the gray area of software interactions, which from one perspective is an Adobe problem and from another perspective is not.
    In any case, if and when I discover what is causing this conflict on my MacBook Pro Retina, I will post that information on this and other appropriate forums.
