Can't get iWeb to publish properly.

I have just spent 4 hours on the line with a Yahoo tech establishing the fact that my problem isn't throughthem but with iWeb.I have two websites, a domain and a subdomain. The original one publishes all right now after I created an additional FTP userin the Yahoo Password Manager but the second deson't publish changes. If course this is the most importantone right now and of course it's the one which isn't being updated. The tech ran all the filesl through Filezilla and it said none of them weren't being published. I also downloaded the latest version of Cyberduck so that should be up-to-date. I am getting desperate because I need this website working properly. I make changes, save them, click "publish Changes" and it goes through the motions but when I check the website, they aren't there. Any suggestions?

There's nothing wrong with your website.
So what's happening.
You have a website :
http://www.tonivsweeney.com/
with a folder tonypaul :
http://www.tonivsweeney.com/tonypaul/
Where you publish an iWeb site with name tonypaul :
http://www.tonivsweeney.com/tonypaul/tonypaul/
with a Welcome page :
http://www.tonivsweeney.com/tonypaul/tonypaul/Welcome.html
Then you use URL forwarding with masking to :
http://www.tony-paul.com/
which hides :
http://www.tonivsweeney.com/tonypaul/tonypaul/Welcome.html
and all the other pages.
And http://www.tony-paul.com/ is not a subdomain of yours. It's a domainname.
So configure your domainname/websserver properly to make it look like :
http://www.tony-paul.com/tonypaul/Welcome.html
That you see the sitename in the URL, just like this :
http://www.tonivsweeney.com/tvsweeney%40tonivsweeney.com/
is the way iWeb does it.
There are solutions to hide the Sitename. The ones I use are rather technical (htaccess and mod_rewrite), so I leave it to others to explain the easy solution. Gives them the opportunity to display their skills.

I can't get IWeb to publish

I can't get IWeb to publish the files correctly on my account with just host.com

Here's info about publishing using the iWeb FTP...

... and an alternative way to upload the files...

How can I get iWeb to visit the proper published site?

I originally set iWeb 2.0 to published to a website for my business (www.globaltradeexpertise.com) and since then, I changed that site's host to another hosting company. I decided to use .mac for my personal website, www.jenniekessinger.com - and have changed .mac to publish to that domain name - which it has just fine. However, now, when I update the site and publish it, iWeb tells me that it is published and to go to www.globaltradeexpertise.com - which is not the right site. The published changes are made to the proper site, www.jenniekessinger.com - so how can I get iWeb to reflect that address after if finishes publishing and when I select "visit published site" from the file menu?
Any help would be appreciated!

Maybe you could let me know which hosting service you are using so that I can add them to my list of those NOT recommended for iWeb users!
I just dealt with one today who claimed the iWeb sites were incompatible and that the first line of code should be deleted from every HTML file before upload to their server.
They didn't even offer the information that it would be a lot easier to modify the .htaccess file never mind offer to do it for a customer.
Nobody should expect to pay for service like this and the answer is to dump them and go to a company that gives you some value and support for your money. If the ones on this page don't meet your requirements for cost and service...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
... search this forum for those recommended by other users. There's a long list of them.

I purchased a MyBook Studio 4gb external hard drive. I can't get it to work properly. WD have assessed it and say its fine and that the problem is with Apple?

Hello EucaBlue!
So in Disk Utility, with the external harddrive selected, go to the Partition tab, and then under "Partition Layout:" select 1 Partition.
After than, verify that it is formatting the drive as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) under "Partition Information"
Also verify that it's using using the GUID Partition Map under the Options button at the lower left of this window.
Then click apply and confirm that you want to format the drive. It will ask you if you're sure, and probably for an Administrator password.
Once your harddrive is formatted properly, you should be able to use Time Machine, or any other Mac backup software.
Happy tinkering!

Yes, if you purchased it in an Apple store, they should be able to assist you. Bring your MBP with you as well as the Drive.

IMovie wii no longer share with iDVD. I just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and now I can't get iDVD to work properly. Any thoughts?

iMovie wii no longer share with iDVD. I just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and now I can't get iDVD to work properly. Any thoughts? This is what comes up.....

iDVD does work with Yosemite although, as Kappy pointed out unsupported for 2 years, so try this basic troubleshooting fix:
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents of IDVD'S cache folder: User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks or Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
If iDVD crashes again post the first 50 lines of the crash report. Don't post a screenshot but copy and paste the actual text.
To get a movie from iMovie to iDVD it should be exported out of iMovie as 480p and added manually to iDVD.

I can't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 8

I can't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 8. I tried everything and iTunes is NOT compatible with Windows 8. There is either an iTunes issue or a Microsoft issue.

I finally got it to work right. Some files and folders (iTunes video files, etc) were referenced to my iTunes account, I copied from my backup (external) Hard Drive to my system Hard Drive. The only thing that can keep me from accessing my wish list for some time is a very heavy Internet traffic via iTunes players to iTunes Store. So everything is now NORMAL.

I am using Hover for my email address and I can not get it to work properly

I've changed the MX record to 10mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com (Hover's recomendation) but it's still not working.
How Can I get this to work properly?
Thanks for the help!

Hey KoobeP,
I have performed a DNS look-up on the domain stormbluedesign.com and can see that the MX record you have added exists within our DNS: http://screencastmb.worldsecuresystems.com/img/2013-04-24_0949.png. However, this MX record is not pointing to any IP address which leads me to believe the MX record you added is incorrect.
I believe the MX record you need to add is mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com, with a priority of 10. Not 10mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com. But as always, contact your mail service provider for confirmation on the records they require you to add.

How do I get iWeb to publish just the files to my root directory

Hey all, when I publish my site to my hosting server via iWeb it's just copying the entire folder into my root directory instead of copying the files to the root directory. This is causing my site url to look like this: www.mysite.com/myfolder/ how do I get iWeb to publich the files in the "myfolder" to my server instead of the entire folder?

I needed to do this while keeping ftp publishing inside iWeb, and so I developed a sneaky solution. I just figured this out, so there may be some extra steps in here. Here goes:
Find the iWeb application on the computer you are publishing from.
Control-Click on the application and choose "Show Package Contents".
In the window that appears, open the folder "Contents".
Control-Click on the folder "Resources" and choose "Get Info".
In the window that appears, open the "Sharing and Permissions" drop-down.
Click the lock in the lower-right corner and enter your password.
Where it says "Read Only" across from "Everyone", click the arrows and choose "Read and Write".
Close the "Info" window and open the "Resources" folder.
Find the "defaultPublishConfiguration.plist" file and change the permissions (repeat steps 4-7 but with "defaultPublishConfiguration.plist" instead of the "Resources" folder).
Open the "defaultPublishConfiguration.plist" file in TextEdit.
Find the line "<string>/Web/Sites</string>".
Change it to "<string>/Web</string>".
Save and close the text file.
Restart iWeb.
Go to your publishing settings and enter the information for your server. Point the "Directory/Path" to the folder above your server's root web folder.
Set "Site Name" to the name of your server's web folder.
Make sure that none of the files in your server's web folder have the same name as those iWeb would upload.
Select File>Publish Entire Site.
It should now publish your site to "http://www.yourdomain.org/Home.html".
Hope it works!

How can I get iTunes Store to properly function on my windows 7 laptop? I have tried numerous things such as the MDos Promt, checked for firewall, checked for applications allowing iTunes to not be affected by anything. "Can't connect to network"

How can I get my iTunes to function properly. It stopped working a couple of days ago and I can't figure how to get back and running. I have tried numerous things such as rebooting, checking for the network connection, applying it to open without security measures. Error message "Your connection time out. Check your connection." Even though I can get into the internet, iTunes is still not responding! Technical support help isn't helping!

Just to close out ... the 'supervisor' was clueless as it turns out. Apple does NOT have a deal with UPS on handling the Mini, so the person who gave me the info was wrong. Did he call back? No ... he just let me go out and find out myself.
So I called again, and this time eventually ended up with a manager, who told me that the UPS Store thing wouldn't work, but that a box would arrive and then there would be a 'forced replacement'.
About 10 minutes later he called back and said he discovered that EVERYTHING the supervisor did was wrong ... he didn't actually properly flag for auto-replace, so I would have gone through an identical cycle again! So he had to restart the whole process, meaning I would get TWO 'coffins', but that I would then get an auto-replacement and would see that indicated in my support email.
I got the email, saw 'auto-replace'. Got the box on the 28th and immediately turned it around. Apple got the box on the 31st, and on the 1st I got emails that my Mini would arrive on the 2nd and it also had the new serial #.
Yesterday I grab the box from FedEx and go home to check it out. As expected, it IMMEDIATELY worked on my WiFi without issue ... and has worked perfectly since.
So ...
- it was NOT my home network.
- it WAS a hardware issue with the Mini
- Apple does NOT do proper testing on the Mini to detect what appears to be a fairly common issue.
- non-retail customers ARE treated as second-class by support.
This issue took FOUR WEEKS to resolve, involved FOUR shipments back & forth, and the ONLY reason it got resolved was that *I* did the troubleshooting that Apple either would not or could not do.
For someone who has been an Apple customer for more than 30 years, this has been a sobering experience ... I quite frankly expected much better from them.

Why do you force us away from genius iweb? Where can I get iweb to my mbook pro with Lion? Upgrade and loose iweb?

Hi
I´m new here so I don´t know if theese questions are reacheing the Apples staff or only for the community useres..
But I put my frustration out here anyway.. :-) (and sry for my norwegian/eng)
I have like 12 differerent wen sites that I manage, very simple made, but working, thats why I like iweb cos it´s simple and it works.
I have now finnaly taken the step away for PC laptop also, so I went buying a brand new macbook pro weith Lion the other day.
Wanted to work on the websites while and travelling, so I copied all the domain info from myc stationary mac to a USB, ready to put into my new friend..
What????
No iweb in the programs..
So there goes that plan into pieces... How to I fix that case? Buying an old ilife and try to intall it?
Then I wanted to upgrad my stationary mac... but reading forums before I do so... DO NOT UPGRADE IF YOU ARE USING IWEB!!!!
Well, thats enough said for me to cancel upgrading for me..
WHY ARE YOU FORCING US AWAY FROM YOUR IWEB???
WHY NOT MAKE A PROGRAM THAT CAN COVERT OUR IWEB INFO TO ANOTHER PROGRAM?
I THINK YOU APPLE GUY´S NOW ARE FORCING US TO DO MOORE AND MOORE STUFF... AND I DON´T LIKE IT ONE BIT!
YOU ARE FORCING US TO LOOK OVER OUR SHOULDER AND BACK TO WERE PC IS AT THE MOMENT.. HAVE THEY IMPROVED SO I CAN GO BACK??
So, as you can understand here, I don´t like the direction that where Apple is going, it´s very roude and to much business now a days..
Not taking care of it´s customers I think..
If you take my point here in basic norw/ eng...
Ok, that smy frustrations, have a nice day all!

That will work. The latest version of iWeb does run on Lion (with a couple of quirks).
But be aware that iWeb is clearly a dead end; fixes/updates/improvements are highly unlikely, and it may quit working with new versions of OSX (possibly even future updates to Lion).
If you're using MobileMe as a host, that will stop in June of 2011, so you'll have to move your site elsewhere. You can still use iWeb with it; a few changes are required on the Site Publishing Settings page, of course, but they're pretty simple. And a few features won't work, but there are workarounds for them.
I recently moved my iWeb site from MobileMe to GoDaddy, and it was relatively painless.
See https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iweb for much more discussion.

I cannot get iWeb to work properly

I am trying to create a blog using iWeb. However, I can only create a homepage (to the left, there's a red dot and I have managed to name to homepage). Here comes the problem. I am not getting any further. It is impossibly to do the first step which is add a page. "New website" and "New page" are impossible to click on since they are light grey and not even an option to click on. I have been trying over a dozen times to get a blog started but no luck so far. What is wrong? I have a mac. account. I don't get any window up with pre-made designs to choose from... nothing!
Please help me. Thank you in advance!

Good tips! I also couldn't get iWeb to work (I knew that months ago just messing with it I had totally screwed it up and never fixed it). The time came yesterday when I decided I really wanted to use it and was stuck with everything grayed out and couldn't do a thing.
I tried all of the tips posted by Kabing. Tricking it with iphoto didn't cut it. I had to resort to the clean install. I trashed everything iWeb related and used the recovery disks to reinstall only iWeb. It worked like a charm and iWeb is back in action.
Thanks!

Just bought the new mac book and iweb isn't on it but ilife is how can i get iWeb?

I just bought the new macbook and it has garage band, imovie, iphoto but doesnt have iweb. How can i get it now?

iWeb and iDVD are no longer. If you have a DVD with iLife then you can install iWeb from that DVD. There are other applications like iWeb such as RapidWeaver and SandVox. Otherwise, you will need to purchase an iLife boxed set from a third-party vendor such as amazon.com.

Can't get texture to apply properly to my logo graphic?

I'm trying to add a vector textured effect to my logo in Illustrator CS3 on a mac. You can see in this image http://img3.imageshack.us/i/logoxo.png/ a preview of my vector logo along with the vector texture I'm trying to overlay. I just need the texture to crop to the logo and not appear in the background as shown in the image.
I thought I was doing this properly, but apparently not. Here are the steps I have taken with no success:
• Outlined the stroke border of the logo
• Selected the logo's stroke border edge, and cmd selected the overlaying texture layer as well.
• Tried every possible option in the pathfinder toolbar, including the "subtract from shape area" option, but no luck.
I thought this was the proper work method for doing what I'm trying to do, but I guess not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using Illustrator CS3 on an intel mac.
p.s. I did try doing the method described above by selecting my entire logo group (rather than just the outlined stroke edge), but still couldn't get it to work. I'm assuming I'm not grouping something correctly here, and that is why I can't get this to work.

- Here is the lettering highlighted after converting to compound path (I hid the white stroke layer, so only the blue part of the letters was being used): http://img97.imageshack.us/i/letteringcompactpathhig.png/
- Here is the texture highlighted after converting to a compound path: http://img819.imageshack.us/i/textureconvertedtocompo.png/
- After "subtract from shape" (and expanded) were done: http://img641.imageshack.us/i/aftersubtractfromshapea.png/
As you can see in the last pic, I'm left with an empty path. I just don't know what to do with it. I try adding a fill and that doesn't work. I'm just not familiar with using these empty paths like this so I have no clue what to do with it.
And to show you what my texture and logo layers look like (with arrow dropped down) prior to doing the pathfinder subtract:

How can I get iWeb legally?

I am trying to get iWeb, but I cannot find it in the Apple store. If the program has been abandoned in Maverick, what is the name of the substituting one?

Did you have iWeb on your Mac when you got it initially? If so then use the disks that came with your Mac to do a custom install of iWeb from the Software Install disk.
Otherwise Iif iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
