Map not moving & Google Search not working

I am so frustrated. I am trying to add a custom location in iPhoto.

To do this I am using the Google Search in Manage My Places section. The google search just does not work. I type in London and the map greys out and the round timer comes up and then nothing.... It runs like this forever!

In addition, I have tried to grab the map to centre a part of it I am interested in. Grabbing the map just picks up the square of the map I have selected and tries to copy it. If I hold on and take it over the desktop and then release, it copies a square of the map into a file and deposits it on the desktop. I have tried this in all of the parts of the app that let me see a map. They all behave the same.

I have read from the forum that other people have had this kind of problem when their internet connection isn't working but mine is.

I have switched off the firewall. No change

Google works fine on Safari and it can find London....

Help!!!

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Wonder if downloading and using the latest webkit would fix it? If I have time I'll give it a try. Thanks for the heads up.




UPDATE: Using the latest or an earlier build of Webkit didn't help. Safari 4 installed components that just running the Webkit wouldn't override. We'll have to wait for a Safari update. 😟
