Any thoughts as to why iWeb software is not updated any more

hello all,
I'm wondering why apple is not updating iWeb software any more. Does anyone think they will continue to support it?  Doesn't make sense to me that they have abandoned it. With as much as we all use the web, you would think that Apple would want to have the best software out there for us to use with our iMacs,iPhones, and iPads. I can imagine iWeb software out there that would take our web sites built with state of the art web software that would format the sites we build to work and look the best on all the devices apple makes. Seems to me they are making a big mistake. what are your thoughts about why the have pretty much abandoned iWeb. I don't have a clue. Also seems like they are throwing a lot of people under the buss.
thanks for your opinions

It is now is apparent that iWeb, and iDVD, will no longer be supported by Apple since  new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.  iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features Unavailable When Publishing to a Non-Mac Server:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ RSS Feed Widget
All of these issues can be replaced with 3rd party optionsl  There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.

However, Roddy McKay and myself have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.

  • I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?

    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.

  • Why is my playlist not updating as i type in the search window anymore?

    why is my playlist not updating to reflect what i type on the search window anymore? just searches in the same window as you type i want it to reflect and show location on my plylist instead as it did before.

    I have code within the FLA, but I am also using .as files (with classes and such). The code does not update when I try to use it, or will not run. Currently I am getting 4 errors, all of which were related to syntax and have been fixed. I know this because I hit the check mark button at the top of code field and it confirmed that all syntax is okay. I believe the error may be due to a lack of understanding on my part regarding the source path and document classes.
    For example: I am using the code found here: http://www.learningactionscript3.com/download/45/ in the particle_system folder. My .as files and SWF are set up exactly the same as theirs, the example, but I can run theirs without error and mine with a perpetual 4 errors at runtime no matter how I fix it. I have made sure that the source path leads to the .as files being used ("Particle" and "ParticleDemo"), and confirmed that it should work by hitting the check mark next to the Document Class under Advanced ActionScript 3.0 Settings.
    Edit: So in short, yes, I run the SWF and my code not update. If I close out of Flash and open it up again with the same SWF and .as files, then it works. However, this is an extremely inefficient thing to do. I am thinking that maybe downgrading down to CS5 may do the trick, but not sure if it's worth the time.

  • Why my ipad can not update the ios7.1.1

    why my ipad can not update the ios 7.1.1

    Hello there, crivera350.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for if you are unable to update your iOS device:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
    Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
    Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
    Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
    When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
    iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
    Use iTunes to restore your device.
    If you don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • HT4623 The software is not updating on my ipad it just says checking for update what should i do?

  • The software is not updateing on my iphone 4 just say checking for software update what should i do?

    the software is not updateing on my iphone 4 it saying checking for software update what should i do?

    The battery drain issue started when I updated my iphone 4 to the IOS 6.1.2.
    The battery will go from 100% to 0% in about 3 hours !!!
    I called Apple support and they told me that they are not aware of an issue affecting the battery with the latest update. They did a diagnostic test on my iphone and found that my battery is healthy. Then then recommended that I backup my iphone, restore the factory settings and recover after that. In other words, delete everything off my iphone and reinstall everything all over again. I waisted a couple of hours doing that and .....I still have the issue of the battery drain.
    I finally discovered the problem, and thus the solution!
    To solve this issue, do the following:
    Settings ---> Mail, Contacts, Calendars --->Fetch New Data ---> Advanced
    Now click on your hotmail account or your company email account (anything in that folder other than yahoo, gmail or aol),
    Change the setting from Push to Fetch !!!
    And Viola ! Problem will be solved !
    The problem seems to be that the mail exchange (i.e. microsoft, hotmail...etc) keeps checking and pushing emails from the exchange server every second (continiousely) and this is causing the battery to drain.When you change the setting to Fetch, then emails will start downloading every 15 min; but at least your battery will hold charge as it is supposed to do, until Apple comes up with 6.1.3 that hopefully will fix this issue.
    Good luck. Hope this works out for you folks hence it sure did work for me this morning and it sure feels great.
    Cheers !

  • Iweb SEO tool not updating website

    I've figured out how to use Rages iweb seo tool however, it's not showing up on the web. Why not? It still shows the old "welcome" as my page title or "about us" as my page title. I can see the information I put into the tool and I've clicked "apply." When I click "apply" it says "your changes have been applied", but it's not updating! So, I tried publishing WITHIN the SEO tool and then I did see the changes (for the title tag) but my navigation bar was removed and I could only get to the home page. It looks like the url was different as well.
    Please help!

    iWeb SEO tool is a very useful application but I wouldn't recommend using for FTP. After republishing your site with any changes, reapply the tags with SEO tool and then upload your files with an FTP application.
    If you don't have one, the freeware Cyberduck is good.....
    http://cyberduck.ch/
    The reason that your website navigation is not showing is probably because the feed.xml file is missing. If you are using the iWeb default navigation you should consider getting rid of it and building a custom one in a text box as this is a lot better from the SEO point of view.

  • IWeb Date Stamp Not Updating

    My web page looks great. The only issue that I have is that the date stamp will not update from day to day. When I put the date stamp on each page, I did check the 'automatic' update checkbox, so that is not the problem.
    Any ideas?

    I think the add date and time function only upgrades when you access iweb, I have mine saying last updated......

  • IWeb Blog- RSS not updated for new Comments?

    Hey gang-
    It appears that Comments added to Blog entries on an iWeb site do not appear in RSS updates to that Blog. Is there any way to make them do that?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    Follow-up post. Strangely, when checking ths RSS feed from IE at work, I see the new posts in the source data of the feed. So this is not an iWeb problem, but probably related to the more general RSS update issues within Safari.

    I bought a portion of an album a few months ago, and went to purchase the rest of the album and none of the songs I have purchased show up as purchased.  I bought one of the songs I did not own, and it instantly marked it as purchased but did not update the rest of it.  Any advice/ fix for this?  Also I have the "share details of your library with apple" turned on.
