After 24 hours, my iweb pages finally posted! Is it me? Iweb? Mobileme?

After 24 hours, my iweb pages finally posted! Is it me? Iweb? Mobileme? All the above? I'd really like to know before my family kills me for tying up all of our bandwidth for the entire day again. Yes besides taking forever to upload, the process seems to have halted my entire home network.
I spent an hour on the phone with apple today (103297246) to have tech one say it was mobile me and tech two say it was iweb. I called time warner to see if they had throttled down my internet because I was uploading-LOL getting an answer there.
I may be the problem. To add my albums to iweb, I just dragged them to an album page on iweb. Here is an example:
http://web.me.com/tedcarlos/Friends/Friends/Friends.html
I am wondering if I should have clicked the iweb button to do this when I wanted to take them out of iphoto and put them in iweb? In the past doing this with movies to iDVD has been sooo time consuming I thought dragging would be easier and that iweb would scale them accordingly. Anyone know anything about this?
Another question I have is about iweb. Why does the thing offer to upload part of your iweb sites at a time, but when it actually begins the process, it appears to upload everything? Apple had no explanation for this except to say they were working on it. Could this be the source of the slowdown?
Another thought is iweb's interface with mobile me. Could it just be off? Could I just publish my sites to folder and then drag to my idisc? If so does it take everything?
Any help of thoughts on these subjects would be most appreciated. Thank's
Theo

I usually apply some common sense before calling support.
I also prepare my stuff before publishing it.
So, after some assumptions and using the calculator:
418 photos @ 0.350MB a piece = 146MB
29 movies @ 15MB a piece = 435MB
Total = 581MB = 0.5GB
That takes some time. No need for support, just patience.
Also, it's good practice not to dump everything from the camera straight on the page. Especially AVI movies do not work well in webpages.
Magic word: iMovie
Hope this helps.

IWeb pages not posting since MobileMe insued

How can I get iWeb to publish my new web pages? I have several different pages on iWeb, each with an external web address that redirects to that page. The two pages that I created after MobileMe took the place of .mac will not publish. They cannot be found and the redirect for those do not work. I keep getting a message that says they do not exist. Additionally, when I try to visit any of my pages from the "visit" link on iWeb, I get the same error page.

Thanks.
As far as I can tell, I have all of the software updates. I have my system set to check for updates daily and I haven't seen any new ones for mobileme recently.
How do I change my pages to web.me.com/username/sitename? I am in iWeb and try to visit my pages from the program. If the program itself will not update the pages/rename everything to .me instead of .mac after I make changes, how can I? If I type in the domain name that forwards to the page (selenacozart.com), it will go to the page that I created before the change. I don't understand why it is more complicated and opaque since the "update" to mobileme.

Uploading a single iWeb Page to an existing website other than mobileMe

I need to make an occasional contribution to my local community's website.
Is it possible to prepare the page(s) using iWeb and then upload it to the relevant part of the website?

It is possible.
Set up a FTP connection to the server.
Note that iWeb creates an index.html file in the root of the webserver. Make sure it doesn't overwrite the existing one, which might be the homepage of their website.
To prevent it, create a folder on the server first and let iWeb publish to the folder.
Th pathname would be something like: public_html/SomeFolder/
The webmaster will tell you more.
The URL to your webpage would be:
http://www.yourcommunity.com/SomeFolder/iWebSite/Welcome.html

Can you transfer single iweb page b/t computers?

i know about the 'domain' file to move one iweb site from one computer to another, but is there a way to import one individual/single iweb page created on one computer into iweb on another computer?

I figured it out. Home sharing was not activated on the iMac, even though I could see both computers on each computer. I tried to transfer all my music from the iMac to my MacBook Pro before I wiped everything off the iMac, but couldn't figure it out. I with I knew that before I reformatted it. I do, however, however, have everything backed up on disks. iTunes is one of the most confusing programs I've ever used...

Created site in iweb 08 and posted to netfirms... the pages are all loaded up but there is no nav bar, it comes up on each page as a small black dot. How do I get the nav bar to load up and show?

I created site in iweb 08 and posted to netfirms... the pages are all loaded up but there is no nav bar, where the nav bar should be is only a small black dot on each page. How do I get the nav bar to load up and show? It was a disaster loading up my site as it changed the case of the letters and at first no pages were seen, so I had to go through and change the letters that were supposed to be cap, back to cap in every file. I don't know if this has something to do with it or not. The tech support doesn't have an answer. Please let me know if you have any ideas and solutions. Thanks bunches!

IWeb-made website posted to Google Page Creator

I've got a website that was made in iWeb and I want to upload it to Google Page Creator as a non-homepage subpage. My problem is that when I publish the iWeb page to a folder, it creates subfolders for the graphics and extras. GPC doesn't support folders, so when I upload the page, it is missing its pictures, since the iWeb page is referencing the subfolder. I was told on GPC support forum that I have to specify in iWeb for the pictures to be referenced to the root directory of the page. Then I would be able to upload the page and all the pictures, and the page would still load correctly. How do I get iWeb to reference the pictures in the same directory as the page....or how do I get iWeb to output the page without the subfolder?

Thank you for your suggestion. I eventually hacked out a fix by editing the html code produced by iWeb like you suggested. I changed all subfolder references to point to the same directory the html file was in, then I moved (and in some cases renamed - both in finder and in the code) the files in the subfolders up to the html root folder. After uploading, everything looks and works fine. Except for one issue with IE6, which I have started another thread for. If you would like to help out with that issue as well, I would be extremely grateful! It's located here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1359321&tstart=0
Thanks again!

Best type of video files to post on iWeb pages?

I am a teacher and I am posting Screencasts that I record of my lessons each day on my website created by iWeb '09. I have been exporting them as either .mov files or .mp4 files (both H.264) and playing them in a Flash "wrapper". I have been using a Flash "wrapper" thinking that more people have the ability to play flash than quicktime. However, what I have noticed on an old Mac Mini that my daughter has is that the H.264 files played within the wrapper tend to hesitate while playing. If I just "drop" the file in an iWeb page, it seems to play without the hesitation (on the old Mac Mini). (By the way...these files are mostly around 50-70 mb in size.) The problem is that most of my students have PC's and it seems that every year there are at least a few that have problems playing the quicktime files (which is why I went the way of the wrapper). Anyone have any advice on the best video for all?

Terry Daniels wrote:
Will an iPhone or iTouch play these files?
Have you looked at the video playback requirements on the specifications page? You will find your answer there.
The older MPEG-4 video codec would work with QuickTime 5, or higher, installed.
In obvious terms this means that a computer (PC) that does not have Quicktime player installed will not play the MPEG-4 file.
If you wanted to go that route you could encode a WMV file for PC users and a MPEG-4 file for Mac users then use a server side script to determine the users' browser and display the appropriate file. This method is beyond the scope of novice iWeb design, however.

I'm using iweb 3.4 and trying to load audio files to my web page. everything looks good in iweb but after publishing instead of having a control bar i have a "?". does anyone know what to do?

I'm using iweb 3.4 and trying to load audio files to my web page. Everything looks good in iweb but after publishing instead of having a control bar i have a "?". Does anyone know what to do?

Where are you hosting the site, how are you uploading the files and what's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?
Adding audio files by dragging onto the web page forces the viewer to have Quicktime installed on their computer in order to be able to listen to them. Look at the audio player options on this page of Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site: Audio Players for your Music Website.

How can I edit or remove iWeb pages from Mobile me after I have published it to another site?

I have published iweb pages to another server and now I need to replace the mobile me version with page "pages moved to..." or at least I need to delete old version. However I can't find any way to do this from mobile me or from iWeb.
From Mobile me I cant find any way to even delete pages.
With iWeb I cant edit the old version because I cant find way to have two version of same pages. As I understand what I need is a version of my republished pages that only contains the index page "pages moved to...". But I cant create that because I cant have two versions.

Adsense problem on iweb pages posted on .mac

with iWeb we have a perfect tool to publish easily from our mac on me.com
BIG PROBLEM: Google adwords does not allow you to post via mac on me.com and wants you to use the complete and total reference, instead of the simple and easier sitename.
trying to talk to google people is fairly impossible, like talking to a wall. they don t understand that
a. me.com is the general mac site for iweb users
b. posting an ad with something like me.com/mepossem/user/bienvenidos.html is a bit counterproductive, and www.alicanterestaurante.com is 'a bit' easier.
makes one wonder what the intelligence level is at google ...
conclusion: don t lose your time if you have an apple mac website, and just simply go to yahoo. unless someone can come up with a solution ....

ok Roddy, you made your point we should not host on .mac etc. so if someone can (maybe) come up with a solution that has any sense?
or are we down to 'forget about .mac'? not very interested as i want to keep the management of the site to myself, due to frequent changes I have to make into it, and both .mac and iWeb suit me perfectly. I am about once or twice on national TV or radio here in Spain, and updating the website with this combination of tools is what I want.
imho Google are just simply being fastidious, as the real influence is about nil ....

Iweb FTP,Printing probems with Iweb .Pages to Web

I feel like writing Steve Jobs.Problems -I had Iweb 08 , upgraded to Iweb09 because of the press how FTP was solved. I cannot upload to my server. I have spent hours talking to Apple Care reps.I have tried several FTP softwares other than Iweb.One rep told me they do have a problem with FTP out of Iweb to Microsoft base servers.Solution given and tried - first publish to a folder on the desktop and burn a cd for the host provider.Does not work. Next publish to documents and burn a CD and still garbage on the CD for my host provider. I have images and get the message"can't create the file shapeimage- 2png and the results all my images that are referenced as Fig 1 and so on well the figures get place all over and not in the proper location on all the CD burnt. So I cannot publish to the host. Second as of today and after two hours talking to Apple Care with Iweb, I have lessons as lesson 1 2 3 and so on. Well the lessons show up in full in view , but when i go to print if the lesson is 15 pages it will only show 9 in the preview print window and only print 9 pages but viewing the lesson in Iweb all pages show up as all 15. I tried all the recommendations from Apple Care . They do not know why the problem exist. They said maybe with Iweb 09 they limit how many pages you can have in a text box? They have no written notes that this is the case though. I think the problem has to do with something related to in preview it shows the pages as being PDF now when it scroll through the preview showing the pages and maybe this somehow as a default will not allow printing all pages. So I have 15 pages to print out in Iweb and when I go to print it previews and stops at page 9, but the remaining pages still there to view in Iweb. Page allows me to send the info in Iweb out now but it excludes the images so sort of messy. It did not allow this s before . I upgraded to Iweb 09 and have Pages 08, and bet if I install Pages 09 I wont be able to send anything from Iweb to Pages. They do allow you to send information from Pages to Iweb so why not the reverse?My last though is to send from Iweb to Pages, do the massive amount of images again but in Pages and then can I send this as PDF to a Microsoft server and get my website up and running. The problem is not my host it is Apple. FTP does not work ? I have intel chips . Any way to exit Iweb to go to a Microsoft server some clever way here?The monster problem with Iweb is that if you want even a small business everyone has to have the same password so if you want access limited to maybe paying subscribers forget it . Everyone has to be given the same password access so they can pass the password around and every is there for free. Anyone know of a tag on product to handle E-mail password allocation instead of hiring a heavy PHP programmer?. Still going to have a host out of Iweb and this seems impossible. Any help from the knowledgeable - 25 hours wasted so far here.

I'm turning your post into paragraphs so I (and other peiople) can actually understand it:

So from what I can make out, your problems are:
1. Uploading to FTP/publishing
2. Printing
3. iWeb and Pages use
4. Password protection in iWeb
Ok, so for a website you don't want to be burning things to CD or converting a whole site into PDF format. You want individual webpages with proper formats. There's little point in exporting from iWeb to Pages because if you want the webpage info on paper, you print it. If you want to send it to someone, you send them your webpage address. (However, copying from Pages to iWeb is useful for easy publishing from existing documents or drafts).
Your print preview may be a problem, but as long as everything's printed it doesn't make any difference? Not sure what you're trying to say here, and not sure why you're printing webpages anyway? You can take screenshots of your webpage if that's easier.
It sounds like you are trying to cram far too much information in. Try uploading a very simple page with a couple of lines of text via FTP and see if that works. Which webhost are you using, or are you doing it all on an internal server? If you are, I recommend trying to use the web to upload something just to check.
iWeb isn't designed for businesses, and in fact is against Apple's terms of service. It sounds like you really need to employ someone who knows what they're doing. If you don't want to spend the money on a programmer, try hiring a couple of university students studying business/IT, or at least have a temp to consult and tell you what you need. It sounds like you've got yourself into a real tangle.

Redirect iWeb Pages To External Sites?

I have a persona domain that I have linked to my .mac account. I have a previous blog that I am trying to substitute on my site instead of having to create a whole new one using the iWeb blog feature. How do I do this?
Currently, I have tried to change my CNAME records at my Domain control panel. I use blogger.com so I entered in a new CNAME record that would direct to the correct destination field.
All I want to happen is to have on my navigation bar where it says blog to redirect to myname.blogger.com. I can not figure out how to do this. Maybe I am just making it too complicated.

I was struggling with this same problem for a few hours tonight and finally got it figured out.
1. Create a blank page in iWeb and set it to be included in the navigation bar.
2. After publishing your site, find the file iWeb creates called "index.html" and open it with a text editor. (I like TextWrangler, but TextEdit should work as well.)
3. The file should be very short. Find the section that looks like this:
meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url= PageName.html" /
4. Replace the portion after "url=" with the full external URL you want the navigation bar link to point to. For example, your final line might look like this:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://myblog.blogspot.com" />
5. Select "Save as...", and use this file to replace the blank iWeb page you created for the Navbar. (If you made Blog.html, this will become your new "Blog.html" file. (Don't just save the file, or you'll screw up your index file. We're just using it as a template.)
For an example of this fix in action, here's my site where I did this exact same thing earlier this evening:
www.timelypersuasion.com
(click on the "blog" link in the navbar to see the external redirect)
Hope this helps.

My iweb website i posted through Fetch isn't working...

i posted my iweb website using Fetch to my godaddy.com web address, but it's not working. it keeps coming up with the "this page coming soon" page instead. is there a certain folder i'm supposed to post it to? do i need to delete the "this page coming soon" file from the ftp server? i can't figure out what i did wrong.
can anyone help me? my website is www.dianne-spence.com, by the way.
thanks!

I think you uploaded the wrong index.html file. You are saving your sitefolder into the Sites folder on your hard drive, which is not wrong but it is confusing you tremendously.
Here is exactly what I want you to do...
1. On your desktop make a new folder...call it "iWeb FTP stuff"
2. Open up iWeb and select "Publish to Folder".
3. In the field for URL, type in "http://www.dianne-spence.com"
4. Up above in the file window, select the folder on your desktop "iWeb FTP stuff" to save your site into.
5. Click on Go. iWeb will now publish your site to the "iWeb FTP stuff" folder on your desktop. Quit iWeb when it is finished.
6. Now open up the "iWeb FTP stuff" folder on your desktop just to explore... see how there are only two things inside there? An index.html file and then another folder named after your site, right? Perfect. These are the two items to upload to your server. Don't bother with the sitefolder.
7. Now launch Fetch and enter in your GoDaddy account info. Navigate to the "iWeb FTP stuff" folder and select the index.html file and the sitefolder (named after your site). Start the upload.
That should do it. Let me know what happens.

After 24 hours, my iweb pages finally posted! Is it me? Iweb? Mobileme?
