Why doesn't IOS Maps show a map any more?

So, when I was stuck in New York city for five days last week, I wound up using the new IOS maps app for the first time, on my iphone 4.
It worked fine for a day or two... then, for some reason, it stopped loading maps. 
It would show a blue dot where I'm at, and little traffic warnings would appear, but no streets, no nothing.
If I tell it to load satellite views, that works fine, but regualr maps doesn't.
Now that I'm finally back home in LA, it's still doing the same thing.
I've manually closed the app, and done a hard reboot on the phone, and it still does the same thing.
Seriously, having a map app that stops working when you're stranded in a strange city with a hurricane barrelling down on you and you're trying to walk from your power-out old hotel to a new one was no fun...

Sorry I thought you meant that you just closed (suspended) the app.  Unfortunately I haven't heard of this problem before and haven't seen and KB articles on troubleshooting maps.  If closing Maps, then restarting the phone didn't fix it, guess I would make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it.

  • Why doesn't my Acrobat 7.0 work any more?

    Acrobat 7.0 worked fine till I got a new computer.  Perhaps 7.0 is not compatible with Windows 7?

    AA7 is not compatible with Win7. If you have a 32-bit Win7, then you can do workarounds to get it to work. However, it will not be seamless. The major problem is that you would have to change the printer port for the Adobe PDF printer to FILE. Then the file would have to be opened in Distiller to get the PDF. This is extra work, but may be a step you need if there is a cost issue. You can try it out by installing Acrobat 7 (if it will install) and then printing to the Adobe PDF printer with print-to-file selected.
    On a 64-bit system, you are probably totally out of luck. The only way to find out is to try it out.
    My comments above are based on installing AA5 on Win7 Starter as an experiment.

  • HT4623 Why doesn't my ipad2 show that ios 6 is available for download?

    Why doesn't my ipad2 show that ios 6 is available for download? 5.1.1 is what I have now.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • Why doesn't my apps show up in iTunes?

    Why doesn't my apps show up in iTunes? I'm on iTunes 11.1.2.31 using an iPad mini on the latest IOS 7.0.3. Could it be that I'm on a new computer and have some settings messed up? See enclosed screenshot. It can obviously detect the number of apps (44), but why aren't they listed in the apps section?

    Why doesn't Edge Animate show up in my 30 day free Creative Cloud membership apps download page? I subscribed to the 30 day free Creative Cloud membership just yesterday.
    Please help.

    Could it be that you are running Windows XP?  I believe there is some automatic detection of the operating system you are running, and if it is not supported by the application, it does not show up on the download page.

  • Why doesn't apple tv show song info while using pandora with AirPlay?

    Why doesn't apple tv show song info while using pandora with AirPlay?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I'm not really familiar with Pandora but I assume it's an audio app and the app places text on screen to inform you of the current track playing.
    As an audio app, it seems to make sense it will stream audio over AirPlay, which doesn't include text of course. For that matter the text is also unlikely to be a video stream either, just to cover the possibility you ask why can't they stream it over AirPlay as video.

    Most likely you simply ise an unsupported operating system. We really can't know. You have not provided any relevant info.

  • Why doesn't iOS get viruses?

    The question was posed to me by a Norton Support Agent.
    Why doesn't iOS get viruses?

    iOS is a closed system.  You can't download to it, or from it, unless it's within the tightly controlled Apple universe.
