Michael Parry uses Google Earth on multiple computers. But the placemarks he puts on one computer don’t show up on other ones. This should be ridiculously easy. You open Earth (the, not the planet), and use the Sign in button to log into your Google account.
Install Google Earth. Once the setup file has finished downloading, install the program to access it: Windows - Double-click the downloaded setup file. The program will connect to the Google Earth server and download a few necessary files. After a moment, Google Earth will install itself and then start immediately. Installing Google Earth only takes a few minutes; you can even just install it in your web browser, or download an app. You do not need to set any options during the installation process. Mac - Double-click the.dmg file that was downloaded to your computer. Firefox users cannot install the plugin while Firefox is running. KML file not working? If I double Click on my KML file it does what it should and start GE and does as expected. When I put it in to my HTML file it will not work. Palettes of icons in Google Earth (Mac) 3. Map colour mode “random” works in Google Earth but not in Google Maps.
Your settings go up into the cloud, and when you log into Earth on another machine, your placemarks are there. Easy, intuitive, and obvious. But that’s only how it should be. In reality, you can log onto your Google account in Earth, but nothing actually syncs. So you need a workaround.
Have a tech question? Ask PCWorld Contributing Editor Lincoln Spector. Send your query to. First, let’s review creating a placemark: Click the pushpin icon on the toolbar. A pushpin icon will appear at the current position on the map, and a dialog box will appear. When you close the dialog box, your new place appears in the Places section on the left pane. Another option: Use the Search tool at the top of the left pane.
When you find what you want, click the small folder icon at the bottom-left corner of the search box to place the results in your Places. Okay, now let’s get to the main event: Right-click My Places in the left pane, select Save Place As, and save the file.
The default name, myplaces.kml, is just fine. Where should you save it?
I recommend a cloud-based sync-and-storage service such as Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive. On your second computer, just double-click the KML file in your cloud folder.
It will open Earth with all of your placemarks. This isn’t a perfect solution. You’ll have to manually save the cloud-based KML file on a regular basis. But it works. In researching this article, I came upon a for true syncing. But it didn’t work in my tests, so I’m not recommending it—even for people who feel comfortable hacking the Registry.
I have google.com.au set as home page as I mainly start browsing with a search. I first started to have problems last night when opening a new TAB for a new search and selecting Home page rather than using the Bing search on the new TAB. As soon as I start typing the search bar jumps to the top left corner and gives you a few suggestions, but after I finish entering my search word/term and click the search icon or press enter I can see internet traffic by the light on 3g modem but the page remains blank. This is now starting to happen on my homepage when first opening Edge. I type in my search the search bar jumps to top left corner showing a couple of suggestions, but that's as far as it will go. It does however work normally sometimes.
Last night was the first time I came across this problem and I'm sure I've done searches this way since I started using EDGE without any problems. I had my wife try the same thing (in EDGE) with the same result, though she uses Firefox as her default browser. Your better half is playing it smart having another browser in use since Edge at this time is still an adequate replacement for IE or any other browser! It's still a 'Work in Progress' in that sense. MS simply slapped it in fast on 10 rather then waiting until if was fully developed just like 10 has the Windows Feedback present in the Windows Accessories suggesting why 10 is a free upgrade at this time is that it's still not quite the final RTM? MS wants the feedback first!Hehe, wife wouldn't even use IE though I was quite happy using it since Win95.
Though I did use FF whilst I was using Ubuntu. There a quite a few features missing in EDGE such as not being able to right click and 'Save Link As' which I miss desperately. But I've been persevering with it and giving it the benefit of the doubt hoping updates might see it improve, but I'm not sure whether it has had any updates since we installed Windows 10. Edge simply isn't ready to be any form of full pledged replacement for IE and one reason besides too many sites still requiring IE MS was forced to leave it in! You can simply go into the IE Program Files folder and right click to pin IE onto the Taskbar and Start and unpin Edge at this time and not suffer any!
Here I ran with IE mostly until the 64bit 7 came along and got busy at times with multiple IE browser windows freezing up on me often and while having looked at FF and Iceweasel found in the Debian Knoppix live for dvd distro as well as FF in ubuntu live cds years back I needed a good sub for 7 and ended up with Waterfox! Someone wanted a 64bit flavor of FF and went ahead to put out a better browser in the 64bit flavor outside of Mozilla there. When booted live on some occasions with Linux Mint Debian as well as having a Linux VM I end up with FF there however while I put Waterfox on the 10565 Insider build being run on a VM without a hitch! I also looked at Edge there and simply pinned IE once again!
I have the exact same problem atm. It started yesterday (28/10). If I change edge to 'start page' and make google my default search engine it works fine when typing in the search bar. But, I have always had google as my home page and now if I open edge to home page (google) and just type a random search it shows no results, but it does work SOME times. It's always worked flawlessly up until yesterday. I found info about reinstalling edge by deleting an'appdata' directory and reinstalling with a 'powershell' admin command.
I did that, and am still having the same issue. If i'm on google homepage and type in the address bar it works every time, just not always from google search bar.
