Problem #2 Upon startup get flashing Google map icon then ? finally starts

In further review and work towards external hard drive (startup disc) near full,
I have encounterd upon startup a flashing icon which I believe is google world or map icon. This flashes for about 30 seconds, and then turns into a flashing ?? with a Mac type face/file. The google map or world app does not appear to be anywhere that I can find on the computer. Any advice on how to make right?
Also how can users download stuff like this without admin privileges.
Thanks Jim Svarz

Hi Again Jim Svarz!
In System Preferences > Startup Disks, what should be selected is Mac OS X 10.3.7 on Macintosh HD.
If that corrects the issue, what you were seeing wasn't a symptom of something that was downloaded. The system was just searching for a drive to start up from.

    I had similar problems, it was a nightmare and on a 3 month ipod too!. I use a Powerbook G4 at home and a G5 at work - both were returning the same problems. so I sent it off to apple, they quickly sent it back saying there was nothing wrong with and it didn't need to be repaired. I tried it again and the same problems occurred "disc cannot be written to or read from." I could copy 20 songs onto it at the very most. A couple of guys at my work suggested updating it on a PC, then adding tunes via my mac as normal - guess what!? it works a treat!?. How ridiculous is that!? an Apple product works best on a PC. these generations of ipods are obviously designed to work best on Intel based Macs. What is wrong Apple? are you abandoning the G-generation!? still, atleast my ipod works for now - it will prove a problem when I have to update the iPod's software since I don't own a PC or an intel-based Mac.

  • How do I get back google maps? Apple map is disaster here in India ....

    I had a **** of problems using apple maps with IO6. Don't find any location in India. I was very happy with Google maps. How do I get it back?? Helppp

    Go to maps.google.com, after the page comes up, in the bottom center of Safari, tap the box/arrow and you can add the shortcut to the homescreen. This is the best you can do if/when Google releases a stand-alone app for iOS.

  • Replacing Flash Google Maps

    Hi,
    As of 3rd Sept 2014 Google Maps Flash API has been closed. I have a browser based swf which incorporates a map in its interface that now doesn't function.
    Would anyone have any suggestions on a replacement API or method of showing an interactive map (e.g. Google Map JavaScript API) within the swf?
    Thanks,
    Mark

  • How to get regular google maps back on iPhone after ios6 "up(down)grade"

    Hoping someone from Apple will contact me about this.
    I recently downloaded the ios 6 (I hesitate to call it an upgrade at this point) and now my maps look like absolute garbage.
    I would like Google Maps back, properly (not the web app). I've read about downgrading to ios5.1.1 on other forums, but apple does not support it, and I'm afraid of bricking my iphone, or loosing my data and settings that I've spent many months refining.
    So, I'm asking you, Apple, to please figure something out for those of us who would like to go back in time and have the original phone we purchased. The maps app is absolutely useless to me at this point. If a solution is not given in a timely manner, I promise that my next phone and my next tablet will be an android (planning on upgrading both in about 1 year when my phone contract is up). I'm sure many others are also thinking the same thing.
    I think it's absolutely insane that you would break people's devices and not offer to revert back to 10 minutes ago before we started the download. This kind of planned obsolesence will only create irritated customers who will switch to a platform that doesn't tie your hands up and take away features on a whim.
    The only way to salvage your reputation from this flub is to fix it. NOW!

  • My own Google Map icons are not visible in Firefox 8

    I have many Google Maps on my website and they contain both default Google icons and my own icons, each with their own URLs. They work correctly in all other browsers, and Firefox 7. However, yesterday I loaded Firefox 8. In Firefox 8 the Google default icons are still visible but my own icons are now invisible, but their placeholders are still there. They are still visible in other browsers. Also, if I now try and add one of my icons to a map, the process seems to work correctly, including a placemark name appearing, but the icon is invisible. The invisible icon is definitely there because you can click the placemark and be taken to the correct position on the map for editing, but the icon is not visible.

    Same problem with my maps. You posted that this issue is solved at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=25 but it is NOT SOLVED!!!!! I'm not a web developer, so I don't want a solution where I have write code or be a developer to figure it out. It works in every other browser & in FF7, so why can't you just figure it out & fix it, instead of making us have to write code or use our own developers to figure it out??

  • Google map icon is grayed out and says waiting. It will not work.

    I have used Google Maps many times on my ipad but this past week on a trip it quit working. The icon is grayed out and says "waiting". Some of the other icons  such as Facebook are doing the same thing.
    Thanks for the help.

    Problem was solved after I updated the software.

  • HT2729 Purchased HD movie on ITune and tried to watch it on my TV using my IPAd Mini as the source and got flashing white images and then finally a motive that it could be watched using the TV aas a monitor.  Why? How do I avoid this problem?

    Recently while on vacation I tried to use my IPad Mini to watch a movie down loaded from ITunes and could not.  Initially I get flashing white lights across the TV monitor I was using so a group of us could watch the movie, Wreck It Ralph.  A few minutes later I was informed that the TV was not an acceptable viewing device.  Why?  How do I avoid this going forward?

    I connected an HDMI cable to a connector that I bought at an Apple store.  The connector connects the HDMI cable to the IPad Mini and the HDMI connects to the TV

    Thanks TreoAide....
    I Did a Reset All, Before I Got Your Post, as I Was Worried that Waiting Past the Scheduled BackUp Profile Time, Might Mess Up the BackUp Like Using BackupBuddyVFS on PalmOS.
    If You Could Clarify If There is a time Limit the Profile Needs to Be Restored By.
    Thank You For Letting Me Know Which Reset To Use, In Future, if I have Difficulties.
    All My Applications, Except One (Expess News, I think, as I accidentaly cancelled before it got to a setting window, and know says updating, or a circle turning (I Think).
    Before Reset, I Copied Photos, etc, to Laptop, After the Reset, I avoided messing about, but connected WIFI.
    At This Moment, I Have Hotsynched WIFI With Palm Desktop 6.2 Access, Contacts to Contacts, and Memos and Tasks to Echo Memos and Echo Tasks, Successfully, And I Am Currently Hotsynching nearly 8500 Appointments with Notes over a Ten Year Period, Which appears to be working and am around three quarters of the way through, and has taken a number of hours, maybe 4-6 but still a quarter left of the appointments. I Am Happy, though, because this time, Echo Appointments did not stop working after 2 or 3 k, as likely works better due to cleaned up Pre, or Improvements that were promised by Chapura for the error.
    Thanks Again, and All the Best....

  • Upon startup, screen flashes several times... asked to restart or shutdown

    When I turn on my Mac pro, the Apple 30" cinema flashes several times, then once the computer boots up I dialog box appears asking me to shut down, restart, sleep mode or cancel which I click on, the dialog box keeps reappearing. I restarted the computer several times the same thing happens. I unplugged the computer and restarted the problem went away, is this normal or has anyone else experienced this? Should I be concerned and contact Apple?

    Have you run any hardware test on the computer? It might tell you that the graphics card has a problem or that it may be something else that needs to be reset. If you find nothing abnormal, then you should probably contact Apple.

  • Startup gets stuck at "no" icon after enabling filevault

    I have a clean install of 10.7 on a 2010 MBP (reinitialized HD, installed snow leopard, installed Lion).
    After enabling File Vault, it asked me to retart my Mac.  I did that, logged into the account I provided file vault access to, and now have been stuck for hours at a screen that just shows the "no" icon (circle with a diagonal line through it) with the spinning progress wheel underneath it.
    I let it do this overnight and then restarted the Mac this morning, logged in again, and I'm back at the same screen.
    I have a full backup and can restore from that if necessary, but my bigger issue is how can I get filevault to successfully work on my Mac.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Update based on some additional troubleshooting:
    I've now been able to recreate this three times by following this sequence (I've started to restart more frequently to pinpoint where things go wrong)
    Reformat Mac partition (leaving Boot Camp alone)
    Install OSX 10.6.3 using the install disc that came with my computer
    Run software update until all updates applied (requiring a few restarts)
    Install Lion
    Restore applications and my local user directory using Migration Assistant and my Time Machine backup
    So far so good.
    6. Restore "other settings" (I believe it's called that) in Migration Assistant.
    This is when the issue first appears.  Not sure what setting would cause this issue, but whatever it is, it effectively makes my Mac HD unreadable.
