Maps slide show: Unable to download Maps

I am trying to create a slide show from iPhoto 11 with Maps.
I have a few hundred photos. When I play the slide show, iPhoto errors out while downloading the maps - complains about connection to the internet.
I tried the photos in batches - 50/100 photos at a time and I don't have problems downloading the maps.
But there is only one photo that creates problem with downloading the maps.
The photo was taken near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco - If I manually list the place as California, the maps download without a problem.
But if I use the GPS co-ordinates captured with the photo, when it was taken with the iPhone (or) if I list the place as San Francisco or say Kirby Cove or Golden Gate Park, it has problems downloading the maps.
How do I get around this issue?

They probably need to install this. It's free and it lets macs see .wmv files:

Another possiblity is that their version of flash is too old:

Finally, you don't say which version of OS X they're using, but there have been imac models for well over ten years now, so their machine/operating system could also just be too old.

    Why my n8 unable to download map or update map at device?

    What maps version are you using (3.06/3.07/3.08)? And what update are you saying specifically? The update option to download country maps works only via WiFi. You can use online maps if the maps is set to online and you are logged in to your Ovi Account.

  • Unable to download maps from internet

    I've created a slideshow from an album, and upon selecting the places theme, iPhoto attempts to download maps. Eventually however it timesout with the message 'to create a places sideshow, you must be connected to the internet' - yet internet is not dropping.
    The slideshow is large (created from an album of 500 visible (200 hidden) images). Are there constraints to the size of a slideshow (i'm not running out of disk space). I've had some mixed success with downloading maps for different variations of the slideshow, however lately its consistently failing.
    I'm a novice with iPhoto so may be doing something fundamentally wrong.
    thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you go back to the iPhoto/Advanced preference pane and make sure "Look up places" is set to "Automatically"?

  • Previously purchased movies and TV shows unable to download again

    I previously purchased some movies and TV shows.
    When I cleaned my computer, I was unable to take them off my itunes and keep them from using my MacAir memory unless I removed them from my computer. I cannot uncheck them from my itunes library, I had to delete them from my Itunes Media folder.
    This seems to have made it impossible to download them from the cloud to my computer again.
    How do I fix this?
    How do I keep these items in the cloud, but off my computer without using my hard drive?
    Thank you

    iTunes prefs > Store.
    Tick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
    (If it's not there, log out of hte store then log back in. It's kinda flaky)
    All your purchases should show wtih a cloud icon next to the title.
    Click the cloud icon to download or right click - Download.
    If you just click Play, it wil stream and not download to your computer.

  • TV shows unable to download? Any ideas?

    I have purchased four episodes of a TV show, the first episode has error code -50, the second downloaded fine but the third and fourth, as well as the first are missing completely from the downloads, but iTunes days "purchased". Where can I find them?

    First, close iTunes.
    Second, find the folder where your purchases are downloaded to. The folder will usually be called iTunes with some folders in that one. Inside the iTunes folder is a download folder. Delete that entire downloads folder, it is only used as a temporary files folder as music and videos download so no need to worry about deleting it.
    Open iTunes and select the store menu/check for available downloads. Your download should now finish though it will start downloading from the beginning.

  • Imported a .h map file, no Map IDs show

    Background: RoboHelp 10 project, linked to a FrameMaker 11 book, HTML Help output. No errors or missing resources on update of Fm book.
    After linking the project to a Fm book with TopicAlias markers selected for CSH, I imported a .h map file used by the developers and did a Force Update All. The imported map file shows up under the Map Files node in the Project Set-up pod. But when I double-click it, nothing displays in the Map IDs panel on the left side of the Edit Map IDs dialog box.
    I thought 1) specifying TopicAlias markers for CSH during link setup, and 2) importing the developers' .h file would map the IDs to the topics.
    Am I doing something wrong in the linking or .h import steps? I really don't want to have to manually edit the topic IDs in BSSCDefault.h--there are hundreds of them.

    Umm, if you’re using the markers from your FM files to set the mapping, why are you getting something from the developers? In your workflow I would expect you to be sending them your .h file, not the other way round ;>)

  • PSE 8 Slide show audio problem

    I am in the process of editing my slide show. I downloaded some MP3 files and when I try to add them, I get a error message.
    "Unable to add the audio file ..............."
    "The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed"
    Whats going on? The downloaded files are in the same directory as some older mp3 files .....the older files work and will install in the slide show. The newer ones will not.
    Any advice?

    Well ..... I solved it myself.  By using itunes I converted the mp3 files to wav files. Why these particular mp3 files would not import into the Elements slide show editor ..........I do not understand. Anyway...problem solved....for now

  • TS1702 Unable to Download App for New iPad

  • How do I retrieve the icons in the download map of my 2009 iMac with Maverick. They show up in the finder, but not when I open downloads from the dock.

    I have a 2009 iMac running on Mavericks. Since a few days, when I open the Download Map from the dock, I only see "empty" icon symbols. When I leave the map open the icons re-appear after some 20 seconds. When I re-open the downloads, the icons are empty again.
    How do I get the icons to behave in a normal way again?

    bro I just had this issue its as simple as swiping to the right of each album artwork that does not display in the list view (On your Iphone.) Once you swipe to the right on every album that does not display in the list view you will see the delete option come up. Hit delete! Dont be scared. Do this with every album art that does not show up and then resync your Iphone. Go to the list view again and all of your missing album artwork will be displayed in both the list overview and close up landscape mode.

  • Here maps: Unable to download portugal for offline...

    I am unable to download portugal for offline use. I tried a few other maps and could download them. It gets stuck on "preparing download 0%".
    Nokia Lumia 920. Version of here maps is 3.5.487.8, mapdata 8.30.53.110.
    It's all very dissapointing since I'm going to Portugal in about 36 hours.
    I have been trying to download this map the whole day.

    I will make it a little easier for whatever support does exist out there..
    I can download other maps fine (tried sweden and belgium).
    However I cannot download portugal map, or update any of the downloaded maps I already have.
    I tried restarting the phone
    I reinstalled the Here maps app
    I am 100% sure I have internet connection via WiFi(100mbit fiber). Obviously since I could download other maps.
    However just a few minutes ago I was able to update maps and download my portugal maps. I want to mention that I downloaded two other maps while trying and portugal map never worked until just a few minutes ago, neither did updating current maps.

  • Ovi Maps - unable to download new maps

    Hi,
    I just updated my X6 to v3.06 of Ovi Maps which deleted all my map data. I have been unable to download the new maps via Ovi suite (the updated version comes up with an error message "Your computer is not connected to internet" when it clearly is! I've also tried getting the maps from the phone but I get a "connection failed" error message when I try. I've access to fast wireless internet so that would be my preferred route for downloading the maps straight to the phone but have always used Ovi suite in the past. No problems at all with the older versions of Ovi suite. I tried looking at the internet settings in Ovi suite but my home provider is not in the list of presets so I entered the settings manually. No luck with that.
    Can anyone help please?
    Solved!

    Welcome to the forum!
    If your WLAN is Priority 1 in Internet destinations there is usually no problems.
    Are you saying that you can't sign-in to Nokia account via OVI Maps so it just reads "Accounts" not Hello,user name at top right of screen?
    If OVI Maps application set to "Online" can you download mapping data to your immediate vicinity by zooming in?
    Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

  • How can text slides in "Maps" themed slide show be removed or altered?

    When selecting Maps as my theme, locations appear that are not in any of the places identified in my photos, and 2 or 3 "text " slides appear before some photos.  Is there a source for determining how to work with various slideshow themes?  How can I delete the text slides I do not want?

    Is there any way to lock (or attach) an audio clip to a particular slide to keep it in sync when upstream changes are made to the Aperture slide show?
    No, I do not know of a way to do that.
    There is no "lock" option for the secondary audio clips. When I do a slideshow with an elaborate audio track I usually do not invest much work into the audio track, until the slides and videos are ready and there position in the time line will no longer change.
    Then I export a preliminary version of the slideshow as video, import it to GarageBand and create the final version of the sound track in GarageBand. It is much easier to edit and to combine audio clips in GarageBand. When the sound track is ready, I export it to iTunes and from there I add it to the slideshow.
