Maps on mavericks blank

Having updated my Macbook Pro Retina to Mavericks, I find that the new Maps app is blank and not loading the maps, in either standard, hybrid or Satellite view.
Various other users have reported changing the Language order solves this, but I only have one language (English) that is set. Others suggested it worked in full screen mode and/or after a reboot, but I have tried this too and this has no effect.
Has anyone else had this issue or found any other resolution to the problem?

This problem had been plaguing me for months, and none of the suggestions I tried online helped. I finally tried looking in the console, and found lots of lines like this:
9/3/14 10:58:57.512 xpcd[206]: com.apple.geod[733]: registration request failed: (0x11, 0x0) Could not obtain real path to the container root (~/Library/Containers/com.apple.geod/Data): The operation couldn’t be completed. No such file or directory
9/3/14 10:58:57.703 com.apple.launchd[1]: (com.apple.geod[733]) Job appears to have crashed: Illegal instruction: 4
9/3/14 10:58:57.703 com.apple.launchd[1]: (com.apple.geod) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
I tried rm -r ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.geod and then re-launched Maps, and much to my delight, I was finally seeing actual maps!
The console showed my map tiles being recreated, and fixing permissions on the com.apple.Maps container (which directory I had earlier tried deleting, based on other online suggestions):
9/3/14 11:03:34.284 com.apple.geod[800]: /SourceCache/GeoServices/GeoServices-702.15.12/GEOTileDBWriter.mm:203 recreating tile database because manifest URL changed
9/3/14 11:03:34.284 com.apple.geod[800]: /SourceCache/GeoServices/GeoServices-702.15.12/GEOTileDBWriter.mm:406 Recreating tile database
9/3/14 11:03:50.311 xpcd[206]: restored permissions (100600 -> 100700) on /Users/jim/Library/Containers/com.apple.Maps/Container.plist
It seems that removing both of those got rid of whatever corruption had been causing this long-standing problem. I hope this might help someone else.

Problem with maps in Mavericks on iMac

I have a problem with my Maps on Mavericks.
I can open it just fine, no crash or whatever but the map itself just won't load, whatever mode it is on. Here is the screenshot of my Maps:
As you can see, it just stays blank all the time.
I'm also running Parallels 9 and don't know if that has something to do with problem.

Spent days trying various fixes, but this is the one that did it for me. Thanks!

Try this
Since my date and time were incorrect and imessage was not working as well, I tried this
1. Go to system preferences and click date and time
2. Select date and time tab
3. Uncheck "set date and time automatically" and manually enter the correct time
4. Go to time zone tab and uncheck the box there too
5. Go back to date and time tab and now check the box "set date and time automatically"
6. Then check the box in time zone as well
Now open maps and see if it works!

Old iPhone showing up in Share Sheet in Maps on Mavericks

Hoping someone can help me here?
I installed MAvericks and on the share sheet i have 3 devices showing for SEND TO IPHONE, SEND TO IPAD and SEND TO IPHONE 5S, the problem is only the iPad and iPhone 5S are valid devices. The iPhone device was an old iphone that has had Find My iPhone deactivated on the device and all content erased throught the settings menu on the device as per Apple's instructions on best practice for wiping phones. Thus the old phone is factory reset and has no data or sim in it.
Whats more weird is that this old iPhone device does not show up in the Find my iPhone iOS app or Web app.
I've tried logigng in and out of icloud on the mac in settings but nothing works, any advice ???

Same issue here. I've bought a new iphone 5s, and a new ipad Air, replacing older models. I sold both old devices through Gazelle. Both old devices were running ios 7, and I made sure to turn off "find my iphone" on both and erase all content and settings before selling them. Neither old device is anymore in anyway associated with my AppleID. But both continue to show up on the share sheet in Maps on Mavericks. I've tried everything.
It's not the worst thing ever, since the new devices are both there also, and sharing from Mavericks works to both new devices. Still - bugs me that the old ones are there! It's not possible that if I send a location to one of those old devices, it actually gets there, right? Nah...
Well, if anyone figures it out, it's much appreciated!

Lightroom 4 Map Module Is Blank

I upgraded from LR3 to LR4 yesterday and was excited to dive into the Map module. Unfortunately, the map seems to be blank. I have selected an image with GPS information. The Map module correctly looks up the location of the photo (Magdalena, New Mexico). This seems like a rendering bug.
Update 1
Just to check, I installed LR4 onto another OS X 10.6.8 machine that had not previously had Lightroom and imported the same picture. The Map module worked correctly. So, I tried re-installing LR4 on the original machine. Unfortunately, it still does not work. I tried creating a new catalog and backing up and then deleting all preferences. The map is still blank...
I am open to suggestions so long as they don't involve re-installing the OS, as I just did a fresh install yesterday on this machine and therefore highly doubt that will accomplish anything other than wasting my time.
I am open to all sorts of alternatives, including but not limited to:
Running dtrace to look at library calls
attaching XCode to debug (though I would assume all the objects have been stripped), or
Starting up a WebDialogs/WebEx/VNC/TeamViewer/etc server for a dev to pry around on it or debug with XCode. Of course a debuggable build would greatly help with this.
Update 2
More defect info.
I created a new user on the system that is failing, started LR4, created a new catalog, imported the test photo, changed to Map module--still blank. Something on this particular system is causing the rendering failure.
So I figured what the heck, just to make sure, why don't I copy over the LR4 app from the system that is working. Still a blank map...
My next thought was that perhaps it was an issue with the non-accelerated graphics. So I disabled the graphics switching. Still a blank map...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks juckehu. You nailed the problem. I really appreciate you coming up with this solution.
As a programmer who develops software for all UNIX flavors, Mac OS X, and Windows, I find this not working on a case-sensitive filesytem behaviour to be rather ridiculous. I would be ashamed if my tools didn't work correctly because of something like this. Someone folks should be very embarassed, as from some searches I ran it seems like this issue has been around for a long time and with other Adobe products. So, apparently I now get to revert my Mac back to a Windows-esque case-insenstive filesystem. What a way to spend a Friday.

Map screen a blank, can anyone help please.

Map screen is blank, cannot see any map at all, any suggestions.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, 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 log in 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 (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Problem with Maps in Mavericks on Macbook pro

I just installed OS X 10.9 Mavericks on my Macbook pro 2010 mid model. Install processes were good with no problem.
After Install, I opend Maps application. I found my Map is not load whole map image. like this picture.
Can any one help me from this terrible situation?
Spec :
2010-Mid MBP 15''
2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
8GB RAM
500GB 5400RPM HDD

Fixed, for me.
Just changed the language order in preferences language & region.
Seems like maps has bad behaivor with some languages.
Maps was not ready for the world.

Map in maverick

I have no map in the app just a blank graph with a blue dot for my location...hmmm,whats up what do I do?

IMovie '09 Maps going totally blank!

What would cause this?
My iMovie globes are showing up... COMPLETELY BLANK WHITE!
Wha? Flat maps are blank black.
Even old projects that had globes in them are failing to reopen with maps intact.
The movement from city to city, and overlaying line all work.
What to do?

I guess this hasn't shown up on other iMovie '09 users. The only thing that helped was to revert to an earlier version of iMovie '09 and never upgrade.
Which begs another question: on a machine that has two copies of Snow Leopard on two different bootable disks, why does one work smoothly with iMovie '09, 8.0.5 while the other absolutely refuses to load it, and can only work with iMovie '09 8.0 (717).
The failing SL has been replaced ( no change ) then brought up to the latest update ( no change ) and reloads + reupdates of iMovie '09 have been tried along with numerous other things like Repair Disk Permissions, etc.
What could the OS possibly be doing? I've zapped PRAMs and everything I try does no good.

Sending direction from Maps on Mavericks to iOS devices

I am trying to use the new maps app on Mavericks to send directions to my iphone, but none of my iOS devices show up as devices I can send to - what am I doing wrong?

I still can not 'send directions to iPhone' from 10.9 Maps.
I have tried all fixes from what I gathered online:
Restart Mac
Reboot iPhone
Sign out of iCloud on both Mac and iPhone and signing back in
I have also used patience and colourful language all to no avail
(iCloud account is the same for the Mac as is the iPhone)
I am using an iPhone 5 and a 2011 iMac 3.1ghz Intel i5

My Organiser has suddenly stopped showing a map - just a blank space where the map should be

For the past --- years, this feature has woerked and nearly all of my photos are located on maps.
Now, suddenly, no map!
All suggestions welcome!

Yes Neil
Adobe Lightroom 4 launches in the Spring with a new Google Maps module. So watch this space. In fact you can download the Beta and use if for free until the end of March when it expires. I love Lightroom much better than elements especially for raw processing.

New Plugin for Firefox- Maps Blank

I just went to maps.ovi.com and got offered a new plugin for Firefox. It seemed to install OK and now the website - which used to take about 5 mins to startup for me - starts up in seconds. Almost as fast as Google maps!
SNAG - the map area is blank. I can't see any maps!
Is it just me?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Malicious software had switched my Internet Options to use a proxy server. Firefox showed the Maps website and navigation perfectly but the map did not download. Simply disabling the "Use a proxy server" in "Connections" fixed it. Since I do not use Internet Explorer I had not noticed this!

MapViewer blank map issue

This is for MapViewer Java API, using tile cache - and it's a hard to reproduce problem
In our application sometimes the map will return blank with no layers. In the logs I'll see that the layers got queried and styles got applied and no apparent errors, but the returned image is blank with only the background color applied.
When this happens just panning around /refreshing will cause the map to be rendered correctly, with minimal wait, as if the cached image was already there created from the previous map request.
Has anyone seen this before ?
Is there something I should be looking for in the logs that could shed some light on the cause of the problem ?
Thanks.

Hi User635830,
firstly I like you "to out yourself" by going to "Your Control Panel" (upper right) --> Your Settings [edit] and edit your "user635830" and insert your name ! Thanks !
Secondly for ur blank map issue I recommend to check the "Java Heap Size" settings, i.e. how much memory is assigned to your Mapviewer Java Application.
Pls see [an explanation how |http://oracle-maps.blogspot.com/2008/05/more-memory.html] in my BLOG.
Hope that solved the problem.
Bernhard
