IWeb won't publish my daughter's sites (multiple users; one computer)

Our daughters have their own computer, so I created two user accounts (one for each). They also each have their own MobileMe account (under a family plan).
Each has created a site in iWeb. However, I can't get iWeb to upload either site. Each time I click publish, it says "sign in to Mobile Me" and the system preferences window pops up. It seems to log in to the account, automatically. iWeb has a window open saying "Logging in" When I click to return to iWeb, that "logging in" window disappears and nothing else happens. Nothing is uploaded.
Even if I try again, it says "log in" again. I don't understand why they aren't logged in automatically, all the time, under their username and why iWeb won't upload anything.

After waiting a day for the rolling restore to happen, I called AppleCare because Apple had sent an email saying my service was back, and it wasn't. I still could send and not receive using Mail.
*Here is what fixed it*. Go to MobileMe (terrible name) in System Preferences, log out. Then enter a garbage name and password and try to log in. This apparently clears the MobileMe preferences. Then enter your real UserName and PassWord. For me this was lights on.
I am left wondering how long ago I could have had email had I known this preference reset scheme.

  • IWeb won't publish updates to my site

    Hi!
    A couple of years ago I made a website with iWeb then uploaded it to an FTP with some other program I can't remember. Now I'm trying to update my website using iwebs publish tool. Everything seems to run smoothly except that when I go to the updated website it's the old one. There are no updates. I tried it from different computers too, it's always the old website.
    What can I do?
    Detailed instructions for dummies are welcomed since I'm not an expert.
    Thanks!

    Probably Cyberduck - it might be an idea to download Cyberduck again and use this to look on your server to see exactly what folders and files are uploaded to your server.
    Publish your site from iWeb to a local folder and then use Cyberduck to upload to your server.
    Also, you state at the bottom of your post that you are using iWeb 08?  This is not the case if you say that you are uploading your site using iWeb ftp?  iWeb 08 does not provide this so you must be using iWeb 09 instead?

  • IWeb won't Publish Site

    Hi,
    Everything works fine until I add a flash music video or any video to the page then it won't Publish. But if I remove the videos from the page it will Publish. (this is not an embed code but instead a link set up from the hyperlink menu when I click on the "inspector" dialog box.
    Or should I instead use the embed code from my upload site?
    Has this something to do with memory? I followed the advice that was posted on another "help" column to change the memory setting in the MobileMe page for iDisk, but that didn't work either.

  • Publishing error - iweb won't publish my site

    I cannot get iweb 08 to publish my site. I get this error "Publishing error iWeb couldn’t connect to .Mac. Make sure your Internet connection works and try again." However, my iDisk updates just fine, so I must be connecting to .mac, right? Also, when I go to mac.com I'm able to sign in fine. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks. I tried that and it didn't work. It seems that the problem was caused by a quicktime video being too large. I re-rendered the video to a smaller size and it published just fine. Thanks for your suggestion. I appreciate it.

  • IWeb Won't Publish Sites

    I've built about 4 Sites using iWeb and it is an great, intuitive tool.
    Lately however, iWeb just stopped publishing updated pages to my sites.
    I haven't changed any settings and I'm publishing to a .mac account.
    BUT I constantly get the pop-up asking if iWeb can use my Keychain. It doesn't matter how many times I click "allow" or "always allow" it keeps asking me the same question over and over.
    OR sometimes it asks me to sign into my .mac account BUT I'M ALREADY SIGNED IN!!!
    All help much appreciated,
    M

    Hey Thanks Bkenny,
    When I open keychain I don't see .mac password on the login list.
    I checked on my macbook and it seems to there, so I fixed it on my macbook.
    I reset keychains on my iMac and still have the iWeb problem. I hoped the latest iWeb update might have patched the problem but I couldn't be so lucky.
    Thanks again for the advice, all other suggestions most welcome,
    M

  • IWeb won't publish to .mac

    For the last 2 days, every time I try to publish iWeb to .mac, a box comes up asking for my password. I enter it, but nothing happens.
    I think I may have an iDisk problem or a .mac login problem.
    Someone please help. I need to republish asap!!!!!

    I have encountered the same problems - my site was fine until yesterday when I decided to change it and now it won't publish.
    Let me know if you figure out what happened
    I'm using iWeb 06 and have not upgraded to the new one. I did install some software updates that come in automatically. I wonder if that might be the problem.
    When I try to visit site - I get a download popup and my pages (name only appear on my desktop but they are blank and nothing happens when I click on the icon. Weird - weird - weird

  • Iweb won't publish for me???

    Hi all,
    I have published successfully a couple of times in the past and now for some reason, it won't publish at all. I tried starting the idisk sync option in the system pref's but it won't start and and error message comes up saying that i need to check my username and password but i'm already logged in? I read another post by Tom where he said to do a few things in the idisk pref's but it won't let me in to the idisk folder either and a message comes up saying my .mac membership is not set up but yet i just logged in before that......very confused! If anyone could advise me that would be great.
    Thanks,
    Dave.

    Hi Jeannie,
    Spoke to apple support. My site is now publishing again!!
    Please follow the instructions below as this is what i did and it worked. It has to do with resetting your .mac preferences and also your keychain.
    1) Click the Apple at the top left and select System Preferences
    2) In the new window select the .Mac (in the internet and network section)
    3) Click the "Sign Out" option
    4) In the member name and password boxes, enter random characters (Numbers and letters) and hit the sign in button, this will say the log in is invalid
    5) Now, enter your proper member name (do not [email protected], just your user name only)and then enter your password and sign in.
    6) Open iWeb and attempt to publish your site
    Let me know how you get on.
    Dave.

    You can probably get around it by publishing your site to a local folder...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
    ... and then uploading with an FTP application...

    This is not so easy as publishing with the iWeb FTP.

  • IWeb won't publish my website

    Hi, very frustrated. Have spent two days designing my iWeb website, then when I finally click the 'Publish' icon, I get "Preparing to Publish..."
    Then...
    "An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites/iWeb/Site”."
    GREAT. But iWeb won't tell me WHAT the error is, or what I need to do to try and FIX the problem! And I thought Apple and the iWeb software were supposedly so intuitive, easy and hassle-free...
    Any ideas appreciated. Many, many thanks.

    Thanks for the quick response. I've read Heaton's
    suggestions and tried publishing to a folder. Worked
    fine. Does this mean the fault lies with .Mac, or
    me/my Mac?
    Adrian...
    This is good news. The fact that you can publish to a folder means that iWeb is not encountering any troubles with your website... The error message that it is generating just lets you know where iWeb is encountering it's "internal error"...not indicating that there is a problem with that particular page, etc.
    What you have to understand is that iWeb is a pretty "dumb" program. I mean, it's great...it lets you design pretty fantastic pages and all, but when it uploads to .Mac it is sort of at the mercy of the traffic on the Internet as a whole. And there is probably some programming in iWeb that says, okay, after you send a file to .Mac, this is how long you should wait for the confirmation. If network conditions are slower or fluctuating, that confirmation may not get to iWeb in a timely manner and iWeb reports out this error message....which is basically a timeout message. iWeb has to draw the line somewhere, I guess.
    The best advice that I can give to you then is to keep trying....different times of the day, different internet connections, wired connections instead of wireless connections, etc.

  • Why iweb won't publish to my mobile me?

    I'm trying to update my iWeb that used to publish to mobile me... I haven't posted for a while (months) and now it won't publish... I click on the button, but it never publishes...

  • Iweb won't publish my new website

    Hai there,
    I recently made a totally new website but when I visit the link the old one appears. I first published the site to my public folder and then to my ftp, no problems so far. Even when I visit the link from public folder the new site appears. But on the web the old one won't refresh. I even deleted the old one from Iweb.
    What could be the problem is that I once published my site with Easy Iweb publisher, but even now that I deleted the account it still won't work.
    Does anyone have a solution to this?
    Kind regards,
    Hoekstra

    Deleting your old website from iWeb is not going to make any difference at all - this only deletes it from iWeb itself - if the site is published then you need to delete the old site from your server where it is published.
    To do this you need to download Cyberduck - this is a dedicated ftp programme and will show you everything - all html files and folders that are on your server. Use this and you can delete the old website off your server so that the new one will show.

  • IWeb won't publish anymore

    All my menu items are greyed out, my publish button is greyed out. If I try to close the programme, I am warned that iWeb is still publishing, It's now had about 20 hours to publish the same site it once did in 1 hour.
    Is iWeb now useless to me?

    Interesting. I've seen that happen on occasion with Internet Explorer on the PC I have to use at work. I'll publish my changes at home, all looks good on Firefox and Safari, then I go to work, check it out in IE and the changes aren't showing in IE. Even after clearing the cache. However, if I start up Firefox at work, clear the cache in that, all is good--and sometimes, all then looks good in IE.
    Have you tried another browser to see if the changes show up?

  • IWeb won't publish... HELP :)

    Hey everyone. Everytime I try to publish from iWeb to my .Mac account it will only go so far. It will error out saying "An error occurred while publishing file 'x.mov'." Where x is a different file each time, it could also be many other types of files.
    I have restarted the computer, and shut down iWeb and then brought it back up again, however it still won't publish all the way.
    Has anyone seen this yet?
    Is there a fix?
    Thank you!

    Just saw the other thred. :S It did say that a lot of other people are having this issue. I think I'll call apple support and see what they know about this issue.

  • IWeb won't Publish, just crashes.

    iWeb will not publish to .Mac. After pressing publish, the program signs into .mac and then proceeds to create the web pages. Once all the pages are created circles form next to their consecutive sites. These usually fill up like a clock showing the site being uploaded. However, ifor the past few days nothing happens once the circles appear. Then after a few minutes iWeb crashes. Also, during this time my whole computer freezes. iTunes will stop playing until the iWeb crash is complete. This has happened every time I have tried to publish over the past few days. Just last week I was able to publish without any problems.
    I think it is a problem with .mac because I am able to publish to a folder without any problems.
    I have repaired permissions over and over again...
    The only thing new I added to my mac since my last time I publish something in iWeb was the trial version of File Maker's Bento.
    Here is the error message I get from the crash.

    I did not want to upgrade to leopard, but I had to. At the law school I go to the exam software only uses windows. I waited until the last minute to instal XP and by then you had to have leopard to use boot camp. Leopard has a lot of nice ideas. You cannot really call them features yet because most of them don't work. Notes in mail is a great idea... But, once I started using it heavily, it went crazy and started erasing all my to do's, duplicating notes like crazy, or something else. I just gave up... The only really nice feature about leopard is Preview and the way it allows you to edit PDFs. I suppose screen sharing is pretty cool too and seems to work okay. However, everyone is so competitive in law school no one wants to "share."
    My wife's macbook hasn't fared to well with leopard either.

  • IWeb: Won't publish (update) with Domain name

    I have a site that I have used iWeb to create. I recently, got a domain name from www.godaddy.com. I have had it for a few days, and I have had a some things go wrong. First, the web counter that iWeb provides, doesn't work on my site. The counter will publish but it only shows one number (it doesn't go higher). Because it would not work, I decided to delete the counter from my site. Second, I tried to rename one of the pages from "My Podcast" to "Media" but when I try visiting my site, it still says "My Podcast," but when I click on it, a window shows up that says that Apple can't find the sight because it may have been deleted. So, I fixed that by making the page say My Podcast again (which fixed it). Finally, I tried updating some information on my site, and it says that the site published, but when I visit the site, it doesn't have anything that is changed at all.
    I can't figure out what is wrong and I need some help. Thanks!

    With rapidly reloaded pages, sometimes the browser will show you information from its cache in order to deliver the information to you as fast as possible. Unfortunately, with frequently updated pages, this browser caching strategy doesn't work so well.
    To make sure that you are seeing the most up-to-date version of your website, try emptying your browser cache. In Safari, look under the Safari menu and select "Empty Cache". You can also try to add a "?" after your URL to tell Safari to ignore whatever is in its cache.
    I have just checked your website and all the links look to be functional. So I am 100% sure that it is a caching issue for you.
    As far as the iWeb hit counter goes, you are using domain forwarding with masking to hide the .Mac address. This masking feature prevents the hit counter from displaying correctly or at all. Disable masking and you will see your hit counter as normal. Even if it is not displayed, it will still be counting.
