I just started to use Mavericks and find that in iPhoto and in the Apple Maps app itself the maps show for a brief moment the appropriate map then it goes blank - actually a yellow-cream color. In iPhoto I see drop pins but no map content. Anyone help? I was really excited about Mavericks but finding issues quicly...
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.1)
Fixed, for me.
Just changed the language order in preferences language & region.
Seems like maps has bad behaivor with some languages.
This helped for me too. Thank you!
Changing language to English worked for me, too, but this is ridiculous. Apple should fix this.
Reboot worked for me too. Thanks.
Reboot resolved it for me too.
I have a new MacBook Pro with Mavericks. The Map app has never showed anything but a blank map. It shows my loation and will even plot routes, but the map never appears. Must say this is quite a dissapointment for a new app.
Try changing your language preferences. Some languages make maps go blank.
Same problem here. Already in English as Language and Maps doesn't load maps, neither in standard, hybrid or satellite.
Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
I can let you know they do monitor. One week ago, my phone rang on Friday afternoon. Matt from Apple was calling to find out if my problem with Apple Maps had been fixed. My issue is lack of ethernet support (must be on wifi only to use Maps location), discussion is on the Maps board here. Anywho, he spent 15 minutes on the phone having me test a few things and sending him a file looking for errors. So keep up the chatter. They are indeed watching. As it turns out, likely everybody in the government is watching too. But that's another issue.
You are dead wrong about that. I had a phone call on a Friday, a follow-up email and another phone call on a Saturday from Apple tech support all based on posting to this forum!!!
That's amazing service!!!🙂🙂🙂
Thank you Tracey!!
I had the same problem. This is what I did:
OK, I have my maps back. I followed a hint for other issues, and logged out of iCloud and then back into iCloud. I had my maps back. This problem arose on two different machines, and the fix worked on both.
Logging out and in worked for me. Anyway apple should take care of it, checking maps authentication against icloud or whatever.
i changed the language preference and log out and log in my icloud account but maps is still not working..
please update!!!
Me too. Unfortunately, Maps is a stillborn. I give up. Back to Google Maps...
mavericks maps problem - why do they go blank?
