Maps won't download.

Dear all,
The following problem appeared a couple of days back. When at home on my wifi connection (ISP - China Telecom) Maps app will open, determine the location but the blue dot will stay against grey background. Neither standard nor satellite images will  download... Search function doesn't perform as well returning "Maps cannot connect to Internet". Everything works in Safari though.
Living in China I first suspected infamous Great Firewall, but everything is fine when I use 3G connection (ISP - China Unicom) or wifi in various bars, cafes, etc. I tried switching iPad off and on, clearing cache, resetting modem - to no avail...
ISP support is washing its hands off saying that if there is no problem with other apps and browsing it should be something wrong with the Maps app.
I would highly appreciate your helpful advice on this matter.
Thank you!
p.s. I use iPad2 64Gb wifi+3G

this is reproducible in the us too. my guess is it will go away with time and patience. it seemed to be temporary for me.
Does GPS work in other apps?
do you have the latest os version?

  • Ovi Maps won't open in Nokia 700

    I bought Nokia 700 2 months ago and I have been using Ovi Maps perfectly until last week, when after plugging my device in to my laptop I got a message that I should update the Maps application. I followed the instructions but there was not enough disc space, so the installation stopped. I unplugged the device and made some space, then plugged the device again and performed the update.
    After that, I can use the navigation application as well as the check-in application normally, but the Maps won't open from the icon. I tried reinstalling software, reinstalling the maps, nothing. I cannot find the Ovi Maps version as the application does not appear in the Application Manager. I open the Maps settings, I can see the maps I have installed, but no info on the version.
    Can anyone help?
    Many thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    OK, I think I solved the problem.
    I had to open Ovi Store and download an update of the Ovi Maps (v3.09). It took some time but it now works fine. I couldn't find this update elsewhere, only through the Ovi store.
    I hope this hels you as well.

  • IPad app won't download

    iPad app ,won't download suggestions

    Hi IAndrewD,
    Several issues have encountered this issue. We've seen it in some of our reviews on the app store and on our support email list ([email protected]). So far, everyone who's contacted us has been able to successfully update after verifying that their network connection was working and restarting the download.
    Please try the following:
    1) Make sure wifi and/or cellular data are turned on
    2) Test to be sure your internet connection is working by opening safari and browsing to a website (like www.adobe.com).
    3)  Single tap the app’s icon on the home screen and it will pause the download. Now go back to the iTunes Apps store, switch to the “Updates” screen and click “Update” to resume the download.
    4) If this doesn't work,  go to Settings -> iTunes & App Stores and tap the Apple ID to sign-out. Restart the iPad, go back to Settings -> iTunes Apps Store and sign-in. Tap the waiting icon to update the app.
    I'd also be happy to work with you on our support email alias or by phone if you email [email protected]
    Thank you!

  • I have a download waiting for my new ipod touch, and whenever I press update, on the computer, it says downloading, time remaining  10hrs,however, on my ipod, it doesn't even show up. It syncs, but won't download anything. What to do?

    I am having problems with updating and downloading from my mac to my ipod, won't download at all. any advice?

    Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
    Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
    If recovery does not work there's:
    DFU mode: http://osxdaily.com/2010/12/04/ipad-dfu-mode/

  • My iPhone 5 won't download fron itunes

    My iPhone 5 won't download fron itunes. The icons show that they are waiting but no wireless activity is showing. If I reactivate the icons nothing happens. Very Frustrating!

  • IBook won't download and can't delete

    I recently downloaded iBooks. Today I downloaded an iBook and it won't download properly, always freezes. I want to delete it but seems you can't because it hasn't downloaded. I deleted the iBooks app but on reinstallation it keeps trying to download the ibook. Help please!

    Same thing happened to me!  Flippin' annoying!  I can't get them to download, iTunes won't let me delete them.  But everytime I connect my iPad or iPhone, it pops up and wants to download them.  Then it sits for hours trying to download and nothing happens, except locking up my computer and rendering it completely useless.  I just want to delete the two books out of iTunes permanently but I can't find out how to do it.  I would like some help too!

  • Certain music pieces and apps won't download from my iPod to iTunes on my MacBook

    I want to put what is on my iPod on my new MacBook, but certain pieces and apps won't download because my computer isn't authorized (so it will delete it from my iPod if I sync), but when it asks me to authorize it it uses an old Apple ID that doesn't exist anymore and to which I do not have access. Any ideas how to fix this? I just want to be able to sync my iPod with this computer without worrying about losing anything.

    Check out this article:
    iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    Read the "iTunes and App Store Content" section, especially the "Transferring purchased content" link there.

  • HT1911 I just verified my Apple user ID and password but certain updates won't download (gives me the signal that I'm incorrect).  I keep changing it, verifying but not all applications let me proceed.

    I just verified my Apple user ID and password but certain updates won't download (gives me the signal that I'm incorrect).  I keep changing it, verifying but not all applications let me proceed.  So I can't download itunes software updates or update my iphone even though I have just verified my info.  I know others that have this problem but can't get support to resolve it.

  • Help: contacts won't download/sync from Mobile Me to iPhone?

    My new iPhone won't download old contacts from MobileMe. It will sync any new contacts or calendar event I add to either the iPhone or Mobile Me, but not the existing ones.
    Basically, I bought my first iPhone a couple of days ago. I just followed the prompts and ended up sync'ing it with gmail as well as pulling all the contacts off my old SIM and phone. But I ended up with lots of duplicate contacts. So I set up a Mobile Me account and uploaded all the contacts from the iPhone, no problems. Then I cleaned up all my contacts on Mobile Me, got rid of duplicates etc.
    Then I reset my iPhone to clear all data so I could start afresh (I've only had it a day or two so there wasn't much to lose). I thought I would be able to easily pull all the nice, clean contacts down from the cloud. But the only contacts that will sync are new ones, not the old ones.
    If I add a contact on Mobile Me, it downloads to the iPhone. If I add a new contact on the iPhone, it uploads to Mobile Me. But the hundreds of old contacts I have amassed over many years and many different mobile phones are stuck in the cloud and won't come down!
    All these contacts only ended up on Mobile Me after being sent from my iPhone, so not sure why it won't take them back.
    I'm on a PC. I have sync'd the iPhone with iTunes since I reset it. And I have downloaded the latest version of the iPhone OS since I reset the phone. I have tried turning off all sync'ing and then turning it on again - the iPhone asked if I wanted to merge data, I said yes, but it didn't download any of the old contacts.
    Obviously sync works, but why won't it get my old contacts?!
    The only thing I haven't tried is resetting all sync data - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1497. However, how can I back up my Mobile Me data before I erase it? I didn't think my Mobile Me contacts would sync with a PC?

    Turn off contacts in MobileMe on the iPhone and choose keep contacts on the iPhone
    Connect iPhone to iTunes and enable sync contacts to Windows Address Book or Outlook 2003 or higher. Now there should be a copy of the contact on the computer.
    Make sure you have installed and configured the MobileMe control panel on your computer. And set it up to sync contacts. Choose the best copy(Cloud or Computer)for the initial sync(can be from Cloud to computer or computer to cloud).
    http://www.apple.com/mobileme/setup/
    Once the computer and Cloud have the correct info then slide contacts back to on within the Mail Contacts Calendars on the iPhone and choose replace iPhone with info from the Cloud.
    Uncheck Sync Contact with computer within iTunes on Info tab(if you do not then you will get duplicates).

  • HT5622 I downloaded two apps on the App Store and it won't ask my for my Apple ID, so my apps won't download. How do I fix this?

    I download two apps on the apps store. And they won't download because my phone won't ask me my Apple ID. Why do I do?

    Is this a new Apple iD? If it is, and you have already set it up, then you have two options:
    1.     Temporarily put a Credit Card or Gift Card on the account to download the free app. If you put a credit card, then once you have downloaded the app, you should be able to go into your Account preferences and change the payment option to = None.
    2.     You can download the fee App, and then set up a new Apple ID.
    Cheers,

  • IPhone 5 apps and music won't download. Both say waiting

    My iPhone 5 running iOS 7 latest beta won't download apps. My phone worked just fine yesterday then today my apps won't download or update and my music won't download it stays in the "waiting" status and I've done hard reset logged in and out of my Apple ID and nothing changes.

    No official way to fix this until the full version of iOS 7 is out in mid September, but for now the quick way to download and update is to do the following:
    •Hold your finger on the icon of the app that is stuck on waiting, until wiggle mode is enabled, and remove the app
    •Plug in your iOS device to iTunes and sync
    •Reinstall the application from the App Store and installs and upgrades should work again
    •If not, rinse and repeat this process

  • My iphone won't download any apps i dont know what to do

    My phone won't download any apps anymore. I don't know what to do.

    Make sure you don't have any paused installs or downloads in other apps, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
    If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

  • My iphone won't download apps, just show waiting and won't download podcasts. Help!

  • My apps won't download to my iPad but will to my phone. When I put it my password, it just stops and won't do anything else????

    Unless you have a copy of the iPod backup file from the previous computer installation you are out of luck. If yo have that file move it to your computer and restore the iPod from that backup.  Otherwise, you will have to restore the iPod to factoery defaults/new iPod and lose all your app date. That is the way it is since the iPod sees the computer as a new computer/iTunes library.  That backup file is located:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
