My Minecraft map won't show up when I open up the game
I recently downloaded a map labeled "Laidback Parkour". When I tried opening it up on the launcher, it didn't show up, but it is definitely in the "saves" folder. Can someone tell me what's going on and help me fix this? I have followed the steps on the Wiki page, but I still don't see what the problem is.

You don't launch games through the Minecraft launcher. You launch it through the singleplayer button inside the Main Menu. You launch a 1.7 client game through the launcher but not a save..
Go to Singleplayer and your map should be located there.

How do you activate map in Minecraft?
To open the map, all players will need to do is right-click it. This will open the map, and it will reveal the area around the player for as long as they are holding it in their hand. On each platform, the "Right Click" action may be different. Below is a list of the controls to open a map for each platform/edition.How do I get my map back on Minecraft?
In your Minecraft world, create a new map and right click to open it, then save and quit to title. Open saves -> [your world name] -> data. There should be a list of every map you've ever created on this world listed as map_XX. Locate the map you have lost.How do you show a map in Minecraft?

Answer 2
It's possible that the "level.dat" file may have become corrupted.
Go into the folder of the save that you want to "recover". Back up both 'level.dat' and 'level.dat_old'. Then, delete the original level.dat file and rename 'level.dat_old' to 'level.dat'.
If this works, you may or may not have lost some amount of progress, but the save file will show up in the world select screen and be accessible.

I had this same problem happen to me when i was trying to play on a MEGA CUBE survival map i downloaded. My problem was when I tried to rename the file to "world 1" it ended up just creating another file in-between the saves - MEGA CUBE folders, called "world 1."
I Had To:
- Open .minecraft, Saves folder, then my "fake world 1" folder.
- Drag the map folder to desktop.
- Click back button on folder TO Saves and delete my "Fake World 1" folder.
- Drag the map folder from desktop to Saves.
- Reload Minecraft
Before trying this, double check and make sure your file is "unzipped." And that your putting the downloaded map in the right folder.
I hope this helped!
