Why can't I view photos in Google Earth?

[Byrnzie]

I can view my own photo's that I've uploaded with Panoramio, but I can't view any other photos on Google Earth. All I see is a white square appear and no photo. I've Googled this problem and noticed that many other people have the same problem, but I can find no solution.
By the way, I'm using a MacBook Pro.

Are the photos you see shown as Icons or as photos? I get the impression you made a kml file on your macbook by clicking "your photos in Google Earth" above your photos. These photos are only shown on your computer and are directly shown in Google Earth.

leaves us with the other photos that should be shown as little icons resembling a (square) photo. 

Please elaborate if I´m right with the kml file, so we can narrow down the problem.

It is a common problem. I had to revert to an earlier version of GE to fix it.

What version are you using? When I try to download older versions I get a message saying that it can't be downloaded because it's from an unknown developer.

Here you can find and download all the older (Windows-) versions of GE (from version 3.0.0762):

http://www.oldapps.com/google_earth.php

As far as I know they all work perfect.

Succes

There are no Apple Mac versions listed on that page. I need to find an old version of GE for Mac. All the ones I've found so far won't work as Apple reject them as being from unidentified manufacturers.

please try these

https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/20124/google-earth

there are two links for older versions at the bottom

In Windows there is an advanced options when a file isn´t recognised. There you can ignore this message. I don´t know about mac.

Thanks, I downloaded both versions. One kept crashing, and the other has the same problem re the photos - I can't see them. When I click on the icons on GE all I get is a white box with the scroll bars on the right side, and bottom of the box, and the Panoramio logo on the left hand side.
I am using Firefox. Could it be that i need to install a plugin?

Well, I still can't view any photo's other than my own in Google Earth.

Have you got the Panoramio layer checked in the Left Pane ? Layers > Photos > Panoramio
