Adding a movie in iWeb using a movie template.

I wanted to add a small QuickTime movie to my web site.
I added a movie template page to the site and then dropped the movie to the box. In iWeb, I am able to click on the play button and the movie plays just fine. But when I publish the site and upload it, where the movie should be is just a Q for QuickTime.
So then I made a plain box with the enable as a hyperlink and a link to the movie. Just like I would to do a pdf file.
My question is how do I get the movie page to work? It looks better with the movie page.
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

you cant make changes to released template, if you do also, new changes wont be shown
Please refer the note 888650
and do the steps as indicated in order to cancel already released one

How to create several fast loading big albums in iWeb using your own templates

hi guys - here comes one for the real cracks.
i am trying to create a nice PICTURES page containing about 100 albums with each of it containing up to 100 individual pictures on my website, where i also have several videos online and (soon) audio files - everything available for download.
my problem is that the main "My album" page in iWeb will always ALL sub albums on just one page, which would in my case lead to endless loading time - i have now 30 albums online and it already takes ages to display all of them.
so i want to create several album pages, each of them displaying only 6 individual sub albums and this way allow a decent page loading time. this is usually done by just adding a new "my album" page using one of apple's templates. and here is my problem: my web site design is made from scratch and is not similar to any of apple's templates. since iWeb does not allow you to save your individual pages as "templates" i had to go a long way around, using iWebsites and merge a newly created picture template page (containing my own duplicated "my album") with ma main site. for some reason this did almost work out but in the end not really - if you are interested have a look at the separate discussion in this forum
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15532580#15532580 (how to save any iWeb page as a template)
so my question here is if any of you know of any other way to achieve my goal of getting several individual main albums containing 6 subalbums (this way it fits on one page and allow NOT having to scroll down at all) and this in a way which will fit the design of my web page. have a look at the now existing pictures page and imagine that i want more or less the same but divided in individual pages containing only 6 albums per page:
http://www.giorgiodellapietra.com/giorgiodellapietra.com/PICTURES/PICTURES.html
here an example of how it should look like in the end:

hi folks
don't worry, i have given up as it really seems iWeb can not do this.
however, i have identified 2 possible solutions. the one i have chosen is to simply add new albums by choosing one of apple's templates and then modify it until it fits my design. i have created 15 additional main albums this way and it took me (because of the "mass production") only 15 minutes per album to get it done. now i have enough empty albums spare for the next few years...
the other way to accomplish what i wanted would have been to make the main "my album" page invisible for visitors and use it only for administration (so it can contain 100 albums but nobody would ever have to wait until they load). then create a new page which i call picture (copy any of my other pages and modify it) on which i will post some "virtual albums", which means use any picture out of an album and create a direct link to the album. i could use a vary low resolution version of the main pic and this way i would have a "picture" page which loads extremely fast but is actually nothing else than a link to the real album. then just copy this page as many times as i need albums and change the pictures and the links in it. the advantage is that it loads very fast, the disadvantage that i loose the ability to scroll through albums by moving the mouse over it, as what you see is of course only a picture and not the album.
i have chosen the first version because it has the advantage to be able to move albums as one pleases. however, both versions would be fine.
it's already done and eaten.
thanks anyway for reading yourself through this...
cheers

Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

There is no license required for iWeb. Just do a Wyodor suggested and you'll be ready to go. If you're running Lion however, consider the following:
In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

I just added some photos and movies to iWEB and it now won't open.

I have just started using iWEB over the last couple of weeks and after working on my website a bit today it crashed and now will not open again. Any tips?

I am responding to this because I have not figured out how to post a question, but I do see how to respond to a question already posed. Can anyone tell me if I am working on a network with 2 computers if I can post to Iweb using both computers or if I would be better off using one computer?

IWeb and Quicktime Movie Upload 2013

Three or so years ago, I made a website using iWeb (the last version Apple produced; i.e. the current version), and I included some videos. The videos were from a digital (tape) video camera, edited with iMovie HD, and were old-format 640x480. I managed to work out how to set the movies to start quickly (before fully loading) using iMovie and QuickTime. I dropped the movie into a regular iWeb page, resized it, put the settings up with the iWeb inspector, and all was well. The movies played (and still play) on Safari and Firefox, on my Macs and on an Asus Windows machine I have. (They won't play on my iPad - if anyone can tell me why, I'd be grateful; I'll probably put the original DV through a more recent version of iMovie and QT, and upload again.)
I want to make another similar website. However, my camera is now a HD tape model, and I have made my peace with iMovie '11 and worked out how to use it. My machine is the latest Mac Mini, and so QT is the latest also. I run Mountain Lion.
I made a movie with iMovie '11, and exported a quality version. I opened it in QT and chose 'Export for Web' and selected the option which gives me three different sizes. After some struggles, I worked out how to put this into my uploaded iWeb (test) site (although I have to say that the instructions Apple's QT gives are not the clearest), and it works, even on my iPad.
My questions concern the code which QT says you should upload. The code in the <body>, I understand, and it's obviously necessary to play the movie.
But about the <head> tag QT says:
Please note, to properly validate as XHTML, the <style> tag and the first <script> tag should be placed within your page's <head> tag.
Here's the code QT says to paste into the <head>
<script src="scripts/prototype.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="scripts/qtp_poster.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="stylesheets/qtp_poster.css" rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" />
However, the movie playback still seems to work without uploading the code for the <head> of the page. And there is NO <style> tag, and why only the FIRST <script> tag?
The <head> on the page iWeb produces for my test page already has a lot of code:
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
    <meta name="Generator" content="iWeb 3.0.4" />
    <meta name="iWeb-Build" content="local-build-20130116" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=950" />
    <title>Ed's Video Test</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen,print" href="Eds_Video_Test_files/Eds_Video_Test.css" />
    
    
    <style type="text/css">
/*<![CDATA[*/
    @import "Scripts/Widgets/HTMLRegion/Paste.css";
/*]]>*/
</style>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/iWebSite.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/iWebImage.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/iWebMediaGrid.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/Widgets/SharedResources/WidgetCommon.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/Widgets/HTMLRegion/Paste.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Eds_Video_Test_files/Eds_Video_Test.js"></script>
</head>
Questions:
1. Should I put the QT code in the <head> tag anyway, even though it seems to work without it?
2. If I don't put it in, does that mean the choice between the three movies doesn't take place? I don't have a smartphone, but the playback on my 27" screen, my Asus netbook, and on my iPad all look fine without the head code.
3. If I do put it in, where exactly do I put it, and do I need to replace any of the code that is already there?
4. The original iWeb drag and drop method still seems to work fine with movies direct from iMovie (and plays even on my iPad), but obviously you can only put one version of the movie on a page. Is there still a good reason for using the multi-size version which involves manually uploading the movie and opening the page after uploading and inserting code for every movie? For example, I have a very fast internet connection. Maybe it's kind to those with a slower connection to put up the smaller movies also?
And, since I'm here, I have a couple of slightly related questions:
5. I designed my site (it's non-commercial, just a trip report, but with a lot of pages) to not need any scrolling even on quite a small desktop screen (you click on from page to page like a book, but you can also navigate around sections more easily this way; anyway that's how I like it). But on the iPad, held horizontally, the width is resized to take up the full width of the sceen, so you then need to scroll down. It's really annoying me. Is there some code I could put in to tell the iPad not to do this (there are plenty fewer vertical pixels on my website's pages than on the iPad screen)? (I don't care about phones, because the site is photo-based so looking at it on a phone is pointless in my opinion. And netbooks with only 768 vertical pixels are not particularly important to me either, but the iPad screen is plenty big enough for the site to work the way I want it to.)
6. And I want to include slideshows of photos without using the iWeb/iPhoto system (which brings up an external window in a different colour). I want the user to be able to see the thumbnails, to start and stop an on-page slideshow, and for me to be able to put captions (descriptions) with the slides. There seem to be a lot of options, and I still haven't finished looking at all the ones I got from the web. But does anyone have a good recommendation - paid or free?
Thanks for reading this long thread, and for any advice.

See the second method described on this page for how to add the code to an HTML Snippet...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Poster-Movie.html
The prefered method of playing movies on websites is to use an HTML5 player with flash fallback for older browsers. Using this method, you can get away with only one video file - an MP4.
In this section of iWeb for Musicians you can see examples of several different types of flash fallback players...

iWeb uses a fixed width page so it is not possible to use it to create a page that will respond to different browser widths. You need to create a version of your site to suit each type of device or use a responsive design like this...

Uploading Movies in iWeb

I tried for several times now to upload 2 movies on my Webpage, one on each page, but only the first movie appears on both pages when I visit the site. (although when I'm working on the website, they both appear..)
Can you please help?
Thanks
Su

Here's a better way.
You publish the movie to a web gallery and use that movie in your page. Not with the Webgallery widget but with the HTML widget.
Go to : http://idisk.me.com and navigate to Web>Sites>_gallery
Find the numbered folder with your movie.
Make a note.
Then paste this code in the HTML Snippet
<embed src="http://web.me.com/UserID/_gallery/100999/ref.mov" width="320" height="196" scale="aspect"></embed>
Where UserID is your *MMe ID*.
100999 is the number of your gallery.
Change Width and Height accordingly.
You can also use one of the movies with the .m4v extension.
When you have a Personal Domain (with a CNAME!!!) instead of web.me.com/UserID use your domain.
Publish your iWeb page.
Now you only have to publish/update your movie to the webgallery. Instead of adding/updating it in a iWeb page.

I've added iOS 7.04 to my iPad, having backed up to iTunes, and have also restored it from iTunes. But, the iPad is stuck in "set up" mode since restoring and doesn't allow me to move on to using the iPad. How do I move on from "set up"?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

Deleting an iWeb site with movies

I have been using my iWeb site while abroad to send small movie clips etc home to the family, now I am home, I want to delete that content and start a new website altogether.
If I delete the local copies of the files does it update the site too? and where can I find the movies as I want to keep them but not on the site.
Thanks all
Geoff

When you initially put the movies into iWeb how did you do this? Did you create the movie page directly from iMovie or did you drag and drop the videos into iWeb?
When you use a movie in iWeb, iWeb places a copy of the movie in your Domain file. If you drag and drop from your "movies" folder into iWeb, that original file stays right in the movies folder. So, if you were bringing your media from other places (even if you use the Media inspector) into iWeb, deleting that content does NOT delete your originals.
If you deleted it after copying it to save space, now you've only got one copy IN your Domain file. In that case, you could control-click on your Domain file, choose "Show Package Contents" and then copy out the movie files before you delete the content in iWeb.
If you're not sure if you want to completely erase everything you've done, you can always save off your Domain file for future use. Once you've got it filed away, you can create a whole new site in iWeb knowing that anything that you forgot to make a copy of, you still have available.

IWeb movie pages, when published -- no movies

my iWeb movie pages, when published, came up lame, no movies, only areas where the movies should have been, all with faint Q's with question marks inside them
LONG STORY SHORT, MAKE SURE YOUR MOVIES (as well as being located in your MAC HD and its proper MOVIE sidebar, that you CUT AND PASTE all your MEDIA YOU'RE USING IN YOUR iWeb SITE,
CUT AND PASTE PHOTOS, MOVIES in dupe form right into your desktop where you've published your iWEB site folder.......that way, any browser, a .mac or outside web host, can locate your media better so that you don't get GHOST MEDIA PUBLISHING LIKE I DID...hopefully this will help both of us
ALSO, in any iWeb website (named SITE in your desktop, or iDisc, or whatever or wherever you publish it, or even if you can find where on earth on your HD it is published, remember, if you have any MEDIA at all, NOTE IN MY CASE MEDIA MEANS MOVIES (not photos, so I'm not speaking to the photo blogs people, only iWeb MOVIE folks) anyway, all the compressed poetry video clips are right there, in a separate folder called MEDIA, that is every iWeb site, when published to .mac or a folder, which contains movies in .mp4 format or .mov format, all these will appear right in your site's MEDIA FOLDER....
this is important as a concept....
also, if you're using an outside web host like me (so that all my movies will LOAD QUICKLY), don't forget when FTP'ing (file transfer protocol'ing) your iWeb changes to your web host from your original MAC HD folder....remember to also send to the FTP/outside web host your MEDIA folder inside your SITE
(which i only realized a couple hours ago, and which totally was a revelation, so i'm passing it along to you guys)....
if you'd like to know exactly what i do here in nyc, i video the poetry scene, now for 20 years, and create educational poetry DVDs.... and my website is today's equivalant of operating a virtual business.....
....oh-oh, since I video poetry in NYC and go direct into a standalone DVD recorder to make single tracks of each poem...and then through Popcorn's mp4 program, I can make a movie file
then..through QuickTime Pro's streaming compression system, reduce that file size to under 5 MBs,
well, after lots of headaches, i am able to have 200 streaming video clips on an iWeb site, which apple itself said was impossible, that iWeb was only geared for less ambitious projects
okay, so that is cool..until yesterday, when i began the whole process again with completely new poetry video clips....
first, the iWeb pages were designed correctly...that took time....then i published the new pages to .mac, and only some of the movies showed up on the published pages, some had a big bright Q (which means the browser identifies the movie and will within 20 seconds load that movie), but what wracked my brain all day and night yesterday, why were there areas where the browser only showed the faint Q/Question mark inside (meaning the browser cannot find the movie)
so what the.....!
also i'm going from an iWed Folder to an FTP so I can use an outside web host and bypass THE MUCH SLOWER .mac browser (too slow when using movie clips for visitor to your site having to wait valuable seconds for **** movie to appear...with outside web host process almost immediate)
.....any similar experiences?

I am having the same problem.
Now I am using iWeb 2.03. So when I uploaded the site to my server I see the Media folder you were talking about, and the videos are there. But when I go to the website I still get the faint Q with the question mark.
Here is my site. http://mnorland.dadeschools.net
The videos are supposed to be in the Athletics page, then go to football highlights.
Any help would be appreciated.

Movies on iWeb

I just uploaded a short video onto a movie page in iWeb. The video plays full screen in edit mode on iWeb, but the screen is half the size when viewed after publishing to my site.
Anyone have this problem or know the answer to fix it?
TIA
dolphin

iWeb writes page code to display QuickTime content inside a browser window. To play at full screen would require either a QuickTime Media Link (.qtl) and a "link to file" setting or to use "Poster Movie" style page.
An example of a Media Link file:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/.Public/Tiny_Movie.qtl
A Poster Movie is a method of "hiding" the true source movie so that it doesn't play (and download) until a viewer "clicks" on a QuickTime image that launches the QuickTime Player (not the browser plug-in). Using the QuickTime Player allows "Presentation" of the file. Presentation properties allow full screen playback be stored right in the QuickTime file.
An example of a Poster Movie:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/03war/

Can one post movies via iWeb which cannot be saved by the viewer?

Does anyone know of a way to make movies on iWeb "view only" and not savable by the viewer of the website? This would enable me to post movies which I want to show but don't want them to have to have access to the file to use as they please.

If someone wants a video, he gets the video...
There's no full protection... One way or another you get all you want... And there are also many tools out there to grab stuff from websites and so on...
However using flash is better than using quicktime under this aspect too...
(Quicktime you just have to save as source and that's it...)
I don't know any way sorry...

Material movement from unrestricted use to "waste"

Hello,
we have some materials in stock that are actually good parts, but we will not sell them and pysically throw them away.
So now in SAP they are in unrestricted use and we need to remove them from there.
What movement type can we use? Just to clarify, it is no scrap, so we don't want to use 551 or 551 (Withdrawel from scrapping into unrestricted use), because this will be added to scrap then which it not is.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Anne

Hi,
Process of scrapping.
Create scrap materials using Material type ABF or a copy of ABF.
If the UOM of Byproducts & Scrap are the same then do a material to material transfer using 309 movements.
Create a sales order, Perform the Delivery & Customer Invoicing.
If the UOM is different then do a goods issue to scrap of By-Product using 551.Perform a 501 movement for scrap material & then perform the Sales order, Delivery & customer Invoicing Process.
If you want to sell scrap material, you can transfer your material type from your material type to material type "waste" or create material with material type waste.
Then the flow of scrap sales:
1)Create a scrap sales order (VA01) F
2) Scrap delivery (VL01N)
3) PGI (VL02n)
4) Performa invoice (F8) or sales Invoice (F2) (VF01) and
5) if excise is applicable for the scrap, then excise invoice (J1iin) after sales invoice.

Biju K

Failure to run a flash movie in IWeb

Hi All,
I've created a flash movie using Adobe Flash CS4, have gone through the procedure "by the book" following a how-to-do video [yes, I'm a novice!!].
I've published the file and produced the necessary files filename.swf, index.html, skinUnderAll.swf and a preview.jpg
OK, everything seemed OK, but try as I may, I cannot get the **** thing to run on iWeb via my me.com using this code in a HTML Snippet:
<IFRAME SRC = "http://idisk.me.com/MYUSERNAME/Web/Sites/flash/index.html" WIDTH="720px" HEIGHT="576px" FRAMEBORDER="0" --if "0" no border, otherwise "1" with border MARGINWIDTH ="0px" MARGINHEIGHT="0px" SCROLLING="no" --"no" no scrolling bar, "yes" show always, "auto" showed when need > Your browser does not support IFRAME </IFRAME>
"index.html" refers to the html that was produced by Flash CS4 and double clicking this runs the video.
For the life of me, I cannot understand where I'm going wrong & it's driving me nuts!
Can someone please check that code out & see what's wrong.... or is the prob elsewhere?
I've looked through
Any assistance most gratefully received!!
TonyT

Hi again, Roddy,
Many thanks for coming back on this one again... it's appreciated.
What's odd is that if I double-click on the original file called "redsea.html" file on my computer, the movie opens & runs OK, so I guess the html is OK. I've even "copied" or downloaded the file back onto my Mac and placed it in with the other related files and it loads & runs OK.
In answer to your question, if I change the target to a preview file (a .png image file) within the same directory, this opens in a browser window. So the path appears to be correct. However, if I target the "redsea.swf" file nothing happens other than a blank white window where the flash movie should be; albeit a correctly sized and positioned window.
This info may help further;_
What I did from from scratch, I created a short movie and used Adobe Flash CS4 to create all the necessary files and copied them over to my iDisk. The files included the redsea.swf, redsea.html, preview.png, the SkinUnderAll.swf & the .flv file associated with the flash movie. These were uploaded [http://web.me.com/myusername/flash/redsea.html].
I've then used the code below in a html snippet in iWeb, but the movie refuses to load.
If, however, I change the target to a preview file (a .png image file) within the same directory, this opens in a browser window. So, I guess this means that the path to be correct.
I don't understand why the .html file will not open in iWeb?
For more info, here's the code I used:-
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000" id="obj1" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#v ersion=10,0,40,0" border="0" width="720" height="576"><param name="movie" value="http://web.me.com/myusername/flash/redsea.html"><param name="quality" value="High"><embed src="http://web.me.com/myusername/flash/redsea.html" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="obj1" width="720" height="576"></object>
Any help most gratefully received!!
