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

erm...I can't download 10.10.2.

I still have several hundred images to geotag since last September. How does reading about something I can't get sort me out?

The point I make is that Adobe cannot fix it! Apple have fixed it but this fix is only visible to beta testers at the moment, you sign up for Yosemite beta testing if it that urgent?

How come the Map module on ACDsee Pro run through Parallels Desktop works much faster? I'm running it on a Yosemite OS Mac but despite the fact that all Windows programmes are relatively sluggish as you'd expect, the Map module in ACDSee is working much faster than Lightroom 5. I'm guessing that the Lightroom map module will also work faster run through Windows Parallels Desktop than it does in its native installation on Yosemite. Which seems strange!

Every software that uses Google Maps is working with Yosemite for months - except Lightroom.

Obviously, the interface to Maps has changed in Yosemite. Instead of rewriting some code to fix the problem, Adobe is waiting for Apple to establish the old compatibility.
Additionally, Adobe does not warn its users about the restricted functionality and still sells its buggy software.

Sorry Adobe, this is not acceptable for commercial software.

I just got off a 2+ hour round with Tech support on this issue. They don't seem to know that this is a problem. I do only have a 3mps connection so...

They tried changing permissions for several underlying files and even had to reload the app.

Someone at least needs to inform their tech support. They wasted a lot of my time as well as theirs...

Hi Rod,

Sorry you had to go through that. I've passed your comment along to the head of Lightroom tech support.

Thanks,
Ben

Any progress yet? In the meantime I'm finding that ACDSee is working very well and I don't have to rent it. Lightroom Mobile still doesn't allow mobile keyword img tasks, and ACDSee now has layers, another push into Photoshop territory. Is Adobe getting left behind?

Just for it's worth: I installed 10.10.2 and it seems to have solved this problem. A new beta was released yesterday, and it is supposed to be relatively stable: http://9to5mac.com/2015/01/21/apple-o...

The final release of 10.10.2 this morning appears to rectify the issue.

I for one are very pleased Apple did a rubbish job of the Yosemite launch though i do remain disappointed that Adobe never in the compatibility info mentioned the map issue spent masses of time on this and i would have just waited had i known

Glad its done though

I've just updated my Yosemite to release 10.10.2 and I can confirm on my MacBook Air the Maps to be working correctly now

I've just updated my Yosemite to release 10.10.2 and I can confirm that the map module is working fine on my macbook Retina - thanks!
