Every Time I Publish to a Folder iWeb Saves EVERYTHING Again...

Every time I publish my website to a folder to preview it, it seems to create a new subfolder with all the same files instead of just saving over the original. Is there a way to stop that? If not, can I delete the older folder and files, though I do notice that some of those files in the older folders, like the index files get updated with each save, though they appear to be duplicates as well. Please advise. Thanks!

It's my experience that iWeb versions before '08 were a hit or miss proposition as to saving over the previous work on my hard disk. Often, I would wind up with multiple versions in the original save folder. I deleted them, after worrying a bit I had the correct ones. This worked, but was annoying.
With iWeb '08, I am asked if I want to replace the previous version before saving to a folder. So far, I have not had multiple complications. My recommendation is to upgrade to the '08 version. Of course, if you've done that and are having this problem, I have wasted your time, for which I'm sorry.
Good luck - Fabe

Why recreate pages every time I publish?

I have three "sites" that I created in iWeb. Each of them has many subpages. I haven't made changes to site 1 and site 2 for many months; right now I am only making updates to site 3. But every time I go to publish, I have to wait for iWeb to publish every page for every site, even those pages in site 1 and site 2 that haven't changed. And then once the uploading starts, it takes FOREVER, like 10 to 30 minutes. If I then change a page, it doesn't recreate pages again and doesn't reupload pages, so the process just takes a minute. But then if I quit iWeb and start up again and make a change, the whole process starts over again.
Why is iWeb taking the time to update the sites that I haven't changed? There are no cross-links, so it's not like it needs to re-render the top of the pages where the links are located. I wish I could stop it from doing this as it would make publishing new pages MUCH MUCH faster.

Jeffrey,
Believe it or not, this is the normal behavior of iWeb. Since all of your 3 sites are saved into the same Domain file, then iWeb will go through the calculating "creating" pages process with the horizontal progress bar for all of your pages in each of your sites every time you publish. Thankfully, it will only upload the pages that have actually changed....otherwise the process would take even longer!
The only real solution to your problem is to separate out your first two sites (the ones that you don't update anymore) into a separate Domain file. It's not too hard to do, but you'll need to be deliberate about the steps and then be able to keep the Domain files organized. Mark Heaton (Apnewbie) has put together a nice page on doing this...

This is the only way to make your sites truly independent of one another in iWeb.

Adobe Muse keeps crashing every time I publish any website all of a sudden

Adobe Muse keeps crashing every time I publish any website all of a sudden. Not just for the website I was working on but now all my websites. It was working perfectly fine and when I hit publish it just crashes. I have multiple copies and different websites and they are all crashing when I try to publish. It seems like it is not an error for just the one website I was working on but the entire program is not functioning correctly. Here's a screen shot of the error.

Mac or Windows? What's the error that appears? If it's an Apple Crash Report, please copy/paste the first few pages of it here.
I strongly recommend against it (for multiple reasons below) but if you uninstall Muse, then go to the Creative Cloud Desktop App, and choose "Previous Version" in the Find New Apps section there will be a dropdown arrow next to the Install button. That dropdown will list all versions of Muse.
If you've saved over top your existing file using the current version, reverting Muse won't work, since older versions cannot open files saved from newer versions. If you've don't significant work in the current version, that will be lost because you'll have to go back to the file as last saved using the prior version of Muse. Finally, there's a significant probability that error/crash is related to content in the file, network configuration, or other outside forces and if that's the case reverting won't avoid the error/crash.
If you share more info about what error you're encountering, I expect we can determine a workaround/solution.

I recently created a new folder, dragged some items into it, and found that the entire contents of my desktop appeared to be in there as well. This happens every time I make a new folder. Any suggestions?

Csound1 What Ive been trying to explain is that I have been running bootcamp, I open the app where the first screen is the introduction, i hit continue, the first time I select "download the latest windows support software fromm Apple" then I return and instead select "Install Windows 7." Then hit continue. The third screen is where I "Create a Partition for Windows" I set Windows to 80 gigs then hit INSTALL. As stated before Bootcamp cannot find the install drivers saying "The installer disc could not be found." My windows software is on a USB drive not a disc, I tried using a virtual disc reader to make it appear that the windows software was running on a disc, still no luck. What I would like to know is how to install windows on bootcamp.

Every time I publish a new edition, my screenshots dissapear

Every time I publish a new edition, three of my five screenshots disappear, and I have to contact Tech Support to allow me to put it back.
It happens again and again and again - very frustrated with this malfunction, Apple could do better!

That's what I've got from Tech Support:
Hello Len,
We are very sorry for the frustration. For your reference, we have filed case number 15727534 with our engineering team for further investigation. To assist our investigation please:
- Change the file names of all five screenshots
- Redeliver only those screenshots and required metadata via iTunes Producer (delete the question marks from assets' fields you will not be re-delivering)
- Take screenshots of the process you use to upload those screenshots via iTunes Producer
- If you see all five screenshots in iTunes Connect and/or in the iBookstore, please take screenshots of that as well and include a time and date that you saw them
Please sent that information in a reply to this message. Thank you for taking the time to provide us with this additional information.

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

On my PC, in I-Tunes, my iPod (touch) button disappears every time I try to sync or update. Everything has been rebooted, but no changes. Any ideas on how to sync to the IPod?

- Have you tried another USB port and cable?
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

I cannot print any websites; every time I press "print" it goes to "save the file as [xps]" instead. What's up?

Bless you, bless you, bless you. After months of living with this annoying problem and not being able to print out emails or websites it is, in a stroke, totally solved. Thank you! It works. It's a wonder and you're a winner!

IComment every time I publish?

I've set up my blog using iComment on the main blog page. Each time I publish, I have to re-run iComment or the abilty to insert a commnet goes away. Is this really necessary?
It takes long enough to publish (heh hum you folks at Mac) the E N T I R E site each and every time, then upload it, but add the additional time to run iComment?
Hope someone can help. Thanks.

I did a little 'before & after' to track what running iComment does. The reference you see below to 'Journal' is because I replaced the web page name of 'Blog' with 'Journal'.
When I addeded the 'insertcommenthere' This is what was added (I did not RUN iComment at this point):
longdesc="InsertCommentsHere" alt="InsertCommentsHere" style="height: 24px; left: 512px; position: absolute; top: 263px; width: 153px; z-index: 1; " />
After I ran iComments the above code was replaced by this:

This is all I've found so far. I'll be looking to see if this can be added to the iWeb template, but I'm no code surgeon.
I added the double dashes -- because the code was posting incorrectly.

What do I do to stop Finder in Mac OS 10.9.3 from crashin every time I open a Dropbox Folder ?

Right after I installed the latest version of Dropbox 2.8.3 on my MacBook Air with Mavericks 10.9.3, my Finder restarts every time I try to access the Dropbox folder.
I know the documents are there because I can access some of them directly from the "Recent items" menu in some programs.
The problem persists even after I quit the Dropbox Program on the menu bar. I have also restarted the computer (also tried it in Safe Mode).
Don't know what else to try.
Pretty much all my documents are in Dropbox so the Mac is almost useless until I solve this problem.
Any suggestions Please ?
Thanks.

Posted his solution here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3768164?start=0&tstart=0 :
Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now.
Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. If that doesn’t work, then in the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
Copy or drag – do not type – the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
find ~ -type f -name .DS_Store -delete
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new dollar-sign (“$”) prompt appears below what you entered, quit Terminal.
It solved the problem.

Every time I want to log in to my Hotmail account I have to type my password over again, and every time I log in I try to save my password. I have tried hundreds of times, but it seems impossible. What am I doing wrong?

When A person want to log in to a hotmail account to read or send an E-mail, one have to enter the e-mail adress and password. There is also a small square you can mark i you want Firefox to save your password so that you don't have to enter password every time you log in to the e-mail account (in this case hotmail)
Every time I log in to hotmail I mark the square so that Frefox will save my password, but my password has never been saved. I'm so tired of always having to enter my password, over and over again.
What do I do wrong? How can I solve tis problem?

* Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* You need an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep that cookie, especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"

IWeb re-creates all of my pages EVERY TIME I publish a few, minor changes..

It all works properly after 1.1.1 but everytime I add a single page (even if I unflag the "include in menu" option) the site marker turns to red. Then, when I publish the changes, iWeb basically re-creates my whole site (taking more than one hour and a half!!!) but then, and here comes the laugh, it only publishes the actual changes (thus, takin no more than 5 minutes to upload them)!!!
So WHY does it attempt to re-create all of my site when it perfectly knows there are only a couple of things that will eventually get uploaded?!?
My site is structured in many different "sites" with various pages each: no matter what, when I add a page in one of the "sites" it starts to re-create all of them.
It's frustrating because it's (obviously) an intollerable waste of time (which doesn't occur when, for istance, I add a blog post or anything else not modifying the site structure).
****...

If I could, I'd send you a couple of screen-shots of
my tree structure just to give you an idea of my
situation... ^^
You are certainly most welcome to send any screenshots my way so that I can take a look. Just send them to: [email protected]. We can also do a chat sometime if I'm online. You can see my online status on my webpage: http://www.dirtdoog.com Just click and chat if I'm online.
The problem, however, is: usually, you may not
publish on a same .Mac account from different
computers/domain-files because any attempt to upload
would modify the homepage of the .Mac site.
This is not true. The default page or site that opens when you type in your short URL (http://web.mac.com/yourname) is currently governed by whatever page you have listed first in order in the Site Organizer in iWeb. You can publish from another Domain file and iWeb will just put the files in a folder right next to the site folder that is already there. Just make sure to name the sites uniquely...otherwise one will overwrite the other. In general when you publish multiple sites with multiple Domain files, the first published site is the default for your short URL. It's probably easier just to resort to the full URLs in any case...
http://web.mac.com/yourname/iWeb/SiteOne
http://web.mac.com/yourname/iWeb/SiteTwo, etc, etc.
Could I do that by keeping the homepage identical in
all of the domain files (actually, it could be my
DISCLAIMER PAGE) and then modifying the others
separately and linking them to each other as external
links?
This seems confusing to me. If you were to revamp your whole site and plan to separate it out into different Domains, I would suggest a separate Domain just for the homepage and disclaimers and what not...this would be like the very top level of your global site. And then you could have links to the various sections in this site and be able to make changes that wouldn't have to affect the other sites under it. But I think you have the general idea.
Before you go doing all of this, it would probably pay to have it well planned out on paper and also well organized on your Mac desktop. During the separating process, you'll need to make several copies of your current Domain file and keep them organized by uniquely name folders (since you cannot change the name of the Domain file). It's an involved process, but logically it makes sense.
As usual, if you find any of this information to be useful, could you do me a favor and provide me with feedback using the "solved" or "helpful" buttons in the title bar of my reply? Thanks.
Don't worry, if you run out of "helpful" and "solved" stars to give out, I'm still more than happy to help in any way that I can!

Every time I make a sub-folder...

... the tree view collapses and the wrong thing gets selected.
It's been an issue for several versions and it seems to be getting worse. I'm jsut going through todays photos and I know this bug is going to happend 10-15 times in the next tien minutes. I'm sure someone will tell me it's a known bug but really? It can't be that hard to fix, it's the sort of thing you'd fail a beginnerss programming course for. It looks amateurish and if I try to use the software in front of a client and this sort of thing happens it makes ME look bad.

(You might want to refrain from making sweeping generalizations in your postings -- it doesn't exactly inspire replies.)
I cannot reproduce anything like this.
- I create a new top-level Folder.
- Select this new folder, right-click and choose "Create Folder inside ..."
- Repeat as necessary.
When it creates the folder it merely repaints the disclosure triangle from stippled to light grey to indicate there is a subfolder, leaving the selected Folder highlighted. Disclosing the arrow shows the new sub.
What is is you are seeing?

Every time I create a new folder on my iMac desktop, the folder immediately copies every other folder and file on my desktop, so that I now have multiple, unwanted copies of every folder taking up memory. What caused this and how do I fix it? Thanks.

I also can not move any items on my desktop to another spot on the screen.

Holy cow!???
Here's an older cure I'd try...
First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Every time I publish my captivate 6, the backgrounds change? Anyone have this problem? Or a solution

I am trying to publish my captivate 6 simulation. I just published it, the backgrounds keep changing or don't pull through and I have a blank screen. Any solutions to this problem?

Hello,
Is this 6.0.1.240? In that case check the slide quality, and if it is the default Low, change to Optimized (new default since 6.1.319).
Moreover uncheck all compression settings in Preferences, Project, SWF size and Quality. And check 'Force re-publish all slides' when publishing.
