We have an app that uses the Google Earth API. Recently, a couple of our users have encountered a problem with the plugin where the screen will turn blue after zooming in a certain amount and no terrain will be displayed. But the screen will return to normal once zooming out. So far we've established that the issue doesn't seem to be specific to our app because the same behavior occurs on the Google Earth Plugin download page found here: http://www.google.com/earth/explore/products/plugin.html. It also doesn't seem to be browser specific as the same behavior has been replicated in IE, Chrome and FireFox on the same affected machine. The other thing we've found is that if the user is running either the 6.1 or 6.2 versions of the plugin, uninstalling it and reinstalling 5.2 resolves the problem. Has anyone else encountered a similar issue and, if so, is there a solution other than asking users to downgrade to 5.2?
Thanks in advance,

I had same problem. Try go to Tools-Options-3DView. Try to change Graphics Mode from DirectX to OpenGL. Restart the application.
That solved my problem.
I was having this problem just now. Earlier today it was not doing this. I wonder if there is a server problem with Google. I will try finding an earlier version of the google earth plugin and try your fix. I am wondering if there is a newer version of the api that is needed.
Here may be a helpful link from Google.
Also here.

I'm a newbie who was told to use Aframe instead of unreal or unity, so I went to aframe.io and found a link to glitch vr projects, but I couldn't see them until I used Firefox and Safari. I assume I have something turned off in Chrome, right? If that's the case, it makes me concerned that users may also have the same issue.
Thanks for you time reading this.
Because I was on an old Mac laptop, the fix was to go to Chrome settings Advanced section and enable "Use hardware acceleration when available"
Getting reports from visitors that they are seeing a sad face load instead of the maps. Using the latest API.
Has anybody ever seen this or know the reason why it would show up?
We can be sure that our JS API 3.x works properly in all modern browsers and operation systems.
You can't reproduce the issue because it seems your visitors have some own issues on their side related to network, operation system, version of browsers, 32-bit browser installed on 64-bit OS, blocked map content by installed browser's extensions and etc. and etc. Because is not possible to list all potential issues would be better that visitors search the issue on his side e.g. search in internet "browsers can't load websites" or "my browser crashing"
I've been using Mac (Mavericks) Safari to lookup docs.meteor.com but of late, Safari was not able to read the site. The location bar keeps refreshing and no page appears.
I think the latest 0.7.0.1 may have broke it. Any one experiencing the same issue?
Apparently, there is a known problem as discussed in this thread at meteor-talk google group:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/meteor-talk/ZzQVdcdz33Y/discussion
It seems to work when dev tools is open and now work when it is closed.
Im currently editing a Wordpress theme called explorable (http://elegantthemes.com/preview/Explorable/)
The final site will be hosted on a windows 8 touch screen device and will be an interactive map.
I am having a few problems with the touch screen mechanics and decided to use google chromes built in, Emulate touch events feature. However I can't seem to drag the map at all unless I have the iphone/ipad user agent also ticked.
I checked the documentation and drag is enabled by default so I'm not sure why this is turned off for desktop, this might also be the reason why I cant get drag to work on the windows8 box.
Not sure if Im missing something thing obvious or not, or that I just need to declare a setting when the map is initiated.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
UPDATE
This issue was handled in the bug
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/35824421
and was solved in version 3.27 of Google Maps JavaScript API in December 2016.
Turns out Google chrome does not support touch events very well on windows 8 touch devices. However IE10 does so I set the application to run on this browser.
For what i need the application to do this worked well, however this might not be the best solution for other people having trouble with touch actions on chrome in windows 8.
This is in fact a Google Map bug #6425.
Check out my answer to this question for another workaround using User Agent spoofing.
I am having an application that will be installed on various machines. Now if i have a newer version than the installed one, i need to inform the users that an update is available. An update that shows up in Mozilla Firefox about a newer version,similar to that. Is this possible to implement?? Or how those Firefox guys implementing that feature? My application has been implemented using Qt 4.4. But i guess this doesn't conform to a specific programming language. I have virtually no idea about implementing this so any ideas regarding this are welcome.
you need a web site page, like http://yourapp.com/version
and place version number in this page.
each time your app runs, check this page(quietly),
if found version > current version, then open a confirm window.
