Podcasting on an iWeb site not published to .mac

Hi, I have created a website with iWeb which is hosted externally to .Mac. Everything works fine except I created a podcast (m4a file) which I'd like to include on my site. Can anyone let me know the steps I need to take to get this to be available to people using any PC when they visit my website? Do I need to convert it to another file type, embed a plug-in or whatever? Please explain in idiot proof terms as I'm a novice at this! Many thanks.

.m4a is a pretty standard file format. Sometimes PC users have better luck when they change the extension of the file to .mp4. But I'm not recommending this approach.
Here's where I am going with this... If you publish any kind of media file with iWeb -- video or audio -- iWeb will by default use (or expect to use) QuickTime to play them. This is true whether the site is being viewed on a PC or a Mac. The QuickTime coding is right there in the iWeb generated HTML files. Therefore, as long as your PC viewers have QuickTime installed (the latest version of QuickTime7 preferably), they will have no problem with the .m4a extension files.

  • Iweb site not publishing

    I modified my web site and I am trying to publish it but it will not publish any change. I am not using mobile me but ftp publishing

    Publish your site to a local folder and launch this in the browser by double clicking the index.html file to see if the changes are present in this version. If they are then your problem is with FTP.
    Always empty your browser cache after updating and before visiting your published site.

  • In iweb changes not publishing

    Since changing from mobileme server to ftp server, changes to website made in iweb do not publish?

    If you are uploading your website files using the iWeb FTP, any old, existing files should get overwritten automatically. Try switching to another browser like Google Chrome or Firefox to view your site.
    To find the file manager you need to login to your hosting account.
    You can use the freeware Cyberduck to upload files and manage files on the server but it doesn't allow you to view the files on your Mac in the same window as the ones on the server...

  • My iweb would not publish. I made a desktop folder. How do I publish the folder to iweb on mobleme?

    My iweb would not publish, I made a desktop folder for my iweb pages. Now how do I publish that to mobile me?

    When you have iWeb open, in the navigation column at left, click first on the NAME of your site that you wish to publish -- when you do this, you should have the Site Publishing Settings show up in the main window at right.
    Next, from the popup choices next to "Publish to:" select MobileMe.
    If this is the first time you are doing this, you will need to type in your MobileMe account (name or email address), and make sure the proper email contact address is input, too.
    If your site will be public, you'll all set; if you need to apply privacy settings, you do so here, too.
    Now, click on the "Publish Site" button/icon at bottom in the toolbar, or select the same command from the menu bar in iWeb, under File. For the first time, you should choose "Publish Entire Site" (and be patient, it will take a while). Later, when you make changes, use the "Publish Site Changes" (much faster).
    When your site is published, iWeb will present you with a sheet window with options to immediate View your site online in your browser, announce it to others (via Mail), or just hit "OK."
    Gooooooooo iWeb!

  • How to edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs?

    How can I edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs? I know we create a folder with the files, but when copying that to Mac2, iWeb on Mac2 doesn't see that folder - I can't see what the linkage is between the app's interface and the folder of site files....

    The answer is Domain.sites (extension hidden by default). You'll find this on the Mac you used to create the site at Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Copy that file to removable media and drag it to the same location on the other Mac. Launch iWeb and you'll see the site structure in the Site Organizer.
    Once you keep the Domain package in sync between the two machines everything will work smoothly no matter which you use. There's a neat tip here which may help in this respect, but you use whatever strategy you prefer:

  • Iweb site not showing up in firefox version 3.0

    i recently published my iweb site to a folder and put it up on a hosting site, it used to be at .mac, but well...
    anyway the photo album part of the pages is not showing up in the firefox at my work: 3.0
    but it works fine in safari...
    any suggestions?
    www.thebeautyseeker.com

    I'm having the same problem. I just published a blog with photo pages, but the photos do not load using Firefox 3.0. They show just fine using Safari. I've not tried it yet with Explorer, but friends who have logged in have not complained about not seeing the photos, so I suspect the problem is specific to Firefox.
    Anyone have an idea what the problem might be?

  • How to password protect a site that is NOT published to .mac?

    Hi There,
    I was wondering if anyone has got a workaround for this in iWeb. I would like to password protect a site but am not publishing it to .mac. Is there a piece of code you can stick into the HTML manually to do this?
    Thanks!
    s

    I am answering my own question! A friend tipped me off — your hosting company may offer password protection. That was the case for me. I went into the site settings and was able to set up a password for the entire site or only certain directories. I hope this helps someone!

  • IWeb will not publish to Mobile Me

    I made several changes to our iWeb site last night and have published to the default Mobile Me location. While everything seems to publish correctly it obviously isn't happening.
    All the changed page icons in iWeb remain red instead of turning to the published blue.
    The old site is there but several pages/links are missing and the correct password for the photo galleries does not work.
    Ideas on how to resolve this issue?
    I am currently republishing to see is that resolves the issue. This is the 3rd re-publish.

  • IWEB updates not publishing

    I recently procured a domain name with the intention of creating an IWEB site using mobileme as a host. With a domain name registered with GoDaddy, I published the site and after some phone conversation with GoDaddy was able to reach the site. In turn, the site URL showed as the following http://www.xxxxxxx.com/OurLifeIn...%21/Welcome.html although I had already made changes. When using "visit" in IWeb the URL is http://www.xxxxxxx.com/WesJansAdventures/index.html and does not show. The latter is correct. How do I correct?
    Wes

    Please provide your real url so people can see for themselves what is happening.
    As a general rule you should not name your top page in iWeb "index" as this may conflict with index.html files automatically created by iWeb and cause problems. Use Welcome or Home or whatever.

  • Muliple iWeb sites and publishing into folders

    I have 2 questions.
    1) I want to be able to have multiple iWeb sites that are unique to each other. Is there an easy way to do that?
    2) Related to the 1st question, I am trying to publish just one folder (or site) within the iWeb window. I imagine that would be easy if I knew how to do question one. But in the possibility that a iWeb would have multiple site folders within them, is there a way to just publish one to a folder? I am using iWeb to publish to an external webhost (not .mac) and havent been able to figure this out. I have always been able to just publish all to a folder and then just cherry pick what I want to ftp upload to the hosted site.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give...

    Ken:
    Here's how I handle multiple sites:
    One way to handle multiple sites is to use iWebSites. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files. If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites.
    For me it makes updating/editing several sites and then publishing only one very easy.

  • Publishing iweb site outside of web.mac

    can i publish an iweb-created site somewhere besides my web.mac account? how? any advice appreciated.
    pb g4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    What file do I need to transfer, and how do I get that first file to be named index.html?
    Please read the rest of the note, especially the part coming after "What to Upload". It tells you exactly what to transfer: one file called index.html and one folder which will have the same name as your site has inside the iWeb app. Both of these are produced by iWeb when you publish to a folder. If you follow these instructions and use a real ftp program like Cyberduck, you should not have a problem. There is no need for you to name anything index yourself (and it is best not to do that), it is all done for you by iWeb.

  • Several iweb sites 2 publish?

    I have created a first site and now that I have a better understanding of iweb I want to build a new site. I clicked new site and have published it to mobileme using different domain names. When i try and visit the site i am directed to the first site.
    Is it possible to build a second site and publish with a site already published? The second site has a big long name with the first sites name embeded into the second site! Can anyone help?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Where are you hosting the sites?
    Are both sites in the same domain.sites2 file?
    Have you purchased a domain name for any of those sites and what method of domain name forwarding are you using?
    Here's some info on Multiple Sites with Domain Name(s) in a Single MobileMe Account
    Here's how to have multiple sites in a single MMe account with one or more sites having a domain name.
    A. All sites are in the same Domain.sites2 files
    1 - only one site can use the CNAME method of domain name forwarding and it must the top site in the left hand pane of iWeb.
    Click to view full size
    2 - the other sites must use URL domain name forwarding which directs the domain name to the site's full MMe URL, http://web.me.com/MMeUsername/SiteName, or, if there is no domain name, just MobileMe's full URL.
    B. Each site is in its own Domain.sites2 file.
    Again, only one site can use CNAME forwarding. This presents a problem since CNAME forwarding directs the domain name to the basic MMe account URL: http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/ which uses an index.html file in the root folder of the account, iDisk/Web/Sites. Each time a new site is published or an existing site uses the File->Publish Entire Site a new index.html file is created in that root directory, iDisk/Web/Sites folder, directing the browser to that particular site. This file is what the CNAME method uses to find the site it represents.
    Therefore some steps must be taken to assure that the index.html file in the MMe Accounts root directory always points to the correct site. This can be accomplished is three ways.
    1 - don't use the CNAME method. Just use URL forwarding . This, IMO, is the simplest method as it doesn't requre any additional effort on the user once the domain name has been set up.
    2 - use the following method suggested by Wyodor in this topic: Is it possible to have multiple sites when using ur Domain name?
    In iWeb domainfile 1:
    Create a dummy site : _dummy
    with a blank page.
    Create your working site : Whatever
    Add pages
    Publish both Sites to the same same location on the same server.
    Your _dummy site is now the default Site.
    Check.
    In iWeb domainfile 2:
    Create/Use your CurrentSite.
    Move a page to the top of the Site and back. Publish the Site.
    iWeb will create a new index.html file in the root of the server and from now on CurrentSite is the default site.
    Check.
    From now on, never move your Whatever Site to the top of the list in the iWeb sidebar and never change the page in the _dummy site.
    Simply do not touch your _dummy ever again. And never forget that.
    3 - use Ethmoid's suggested method in Using two sites - setting one up with separate domain? or republishing the entire site that uses CNAME forwarding. Just making a minor change and publishing the site changes does not create a new index.html file.
    The entire site must be republsihing in order to get that new site.
    Or keep a copy of the CNAME site's index.html file on your Mac and replace it manually in the iDisk/Web/Sites fodler when necessary.
    NOTE: the CNAME method provides a shorter URL: http://www.DomainName.com/Site_Name/PageName. CNAME does not have masking.
    The URL forwarding displays the full MMe URL:
    http://web.me.com/MMeUsername/Domain_Name/PageName.
    With domain name masking that will be shortened to:
    http://www.Domain_Name.com for every page of your site.
    However, with masking visitors will only be able to bookmark and enter at the first page of the site. If a page is refreshed the visitor is taken back to the first page. Also search engines will only be able to index the first page of the site.

  • Can not publish to .mac, iweb 08 freezes

    A couple of days ago I attempted to update my .mac site using iWeb 08 and got an error message saying that the .mac servers were not responding or something along those lines. Tonight I tried again and this time iWeb just freezes up when trying to connecto to my .mac account. These last two times when I've tried to update was the only time I've ever seen the "connecting to .mac account" small popup come up after I select Publish to .mac account. Before (unless my memory fails me), it just went straight to uploading.
    I just tried going to the .mac site via apple.com and I couldn't even login. Guessing my problem has something to do with this.
    Anyone else having problems with their .mac account?

    I just tried going to my iDisk from System Preferences/Internet & Network/.Mac and am getting a connection problem notice.
    However, I can get to my iDisk from Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites and...
