P: Issue with Map module in OS X 10.10 (Yosemite)

Allan, I used to a programmer writing Geographical Information Systems (lots of maps!) but moved into the business side of things many years ago now. My personal opinion is that Bryan is on the right track, it appears LR is trying to upload something, who knows what (and why and to who is a whole other question!!).

I do not think it is a ISP or regional issue, otherwise Google Maps (and others like Bing maps, Apple Maps etc.) would not work either.

I just wish Adobe would get their finger out, they have known about this for 3 months now and have not even had the courtesy to acknowledge a problem, let alone fix it!!r

Morning Dave, so am i on ethernet but in my case as mentioned when i try wifi its like a firewall. I am not a programer so maybe this is rubbish but i assume that LR must have a line of code that determines how maps communicates with google and the protocols it uses. Is it possible that Apple and Adobe are using code now that only work on certain networks.

I do know that some people who have Lightroom and Yosemite can use Yosemite in my photography group successfully so the question is why.

Is it regional
Are folk like us using ISP with a certain network protocol
Do we all share an app that others who have working copies don't

I also have Photomatix and Autopano plug in use Sky ISP tried with and without iPhoto i also have a superdrive connected as well as a time machine i am telling this in case we have something in common.

One other small point is i am getting a number of bluetooth connection failures with the keyboard and mouse

Yes clutching at straws but i really would like maps back lol

Adobe should really spend some time telling us what is going on with their analysis. The Map module is rendered ABSOLUTELY USELESS in Yosemite.

Interesting but sadly I am connected over ethernet not wifi....

Just found this re wifi

Now thats a very good qstn is it perhaps the share info with Adobe permission or if it comes to that even Apple keeping tabs

The reason i wondered about firewall is my main connection is ethernet on occasion when i switch into map module all connection is lost including safari, if i switch over for wifi i get access back again though not in LR. Once access is back i switch into Ethernet and alls ok again.

I was thinking perhaps the request for the map is sent and i get a response that asks is this UK once i say it is then it stops responding. I thought it was upload speed that did the search on one port then download on another port.

I went in the modem settings and tried every protection i could find but had no affect.

Maybe the loading speed (downlink connection) of the map if degraded due to the flooding of the uplink connection ? But what is LR sending out at this rate ?!

I am sure it is not Firewall. As I have mentioned before, if you get 4G on your phone with a download speed circa 15mbs try plugging it into ur Mac and try again. It works for me, not a long term solution though...

Don't think it's a firewall problem. I have permitted LR explicitly in the firewall settings, and it still exhibits the issue - long wait, maybe one tile, then "Sorry no imagery here"

I think it's probably important for Adobe to issue some sort of response here. Soon. Chris? Ben? Are you reading this?
