    + I don't think that your Google Earth is out of date but however download the latest one from http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/agree.html or update from Help Menu.

    + It might would happen that which area you are searching for is not scanned for a while.

    + May be you are working offline from last four years :P

    The image shown by the Google Earth is only a cache of the image.these pictures had been taken long time ago and it is not a real time image.Only by updating you can fix this to a certain extent.

    That is because you don't have the latest update, or google earth has failed to update. I haven't used it in a while but i think you might want to update it. In that case, Google is your friend!

    It has to take time to update its database. And if your city is not a popular one, then it can take more time. Better switch to wikimapia.com. It better than google.

    It's because they literally drive a motor vehicle and take pictures.
