Q: Maps Won't Load Map Data, Never Has
My primary computer is a Mac mini desktop. The Maps app has NEVER worked in my account on this Mac, and I can't figure out why. It works on my laptop, it works on my phone and iPad of course. It works on OTHER USERS on THIS Mac. But it don't work on my user. What I get is that blank grid, with no map imagery or satellite imagery loaded.
So it sounds simple at first. Delete prefs, app support files, and I should be golden. But all I could find is one prefs file for Maps, and one folder in ~/Library/Containers. I dumped both of those but Maps STILL doesn't open. Hopefully someone else has some thoughts on this because I'm at a loss.
The Maps app didn't work in this account in 10.9 either. Now in 10.10, same deal. My disks are fine, no failure, no other issues. I'm a Mac tech by trade so I know all about the normal stuff you'd look out for, and everything is running great.
Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
