Apple Forum Slow or Me

I can get to BBR/ATM, Apple Home, and others "Miata Style" = zoom zoom.
Apple Forum Pages, including this one, hang a minute or so at http:
Is it just me. Others too? Server overloaded by these popular sites.

Sometimes access to the forums is rather quick. Today, the load times have been much slower. Not sure why?
Noticed too, the MacFixit forums tend to be this way too. By contrast, the MacWorld User forums are usually quite responsive. Perhaps their membership base is smaller? (just a guess).
The intial response processed through very quickly - of course! Isn't that how life usually works? Make an issue about something, then watch it behave contrary or opposite to the perspective. No different than trying to find something without success. Once you ask the question, the object magically appears! Must be some quantum weirdness law not yet defined, but easily experienced.

  • Multiple (but separate) domain problem & Apple's slow and useless response

    I am having problem with multiple (but separate) domain. I opened a ticket.
    Here is Apple's slow and useless response and my follow up.
    This follow up is not going to resolve the issues I am having. The sites are not in one domain file. I have split them into separate domains. I found that the simplest change to any page made the publishing process extremely and reasonably slow. If I updated a single site, iWeb republishes the whole conglomeration; hardly the most efficient way.
    I have several directories under the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ directory with separate Domain.sites2 files for each site:
    consultingAM.com
    DarkAssassinMovie.com
    Fuzzy Llama Junior Optimist Club
    GulfportOptimist.com
    OptimistView
    pAwesomeProductions.com
    www.nfdoi.com
    With the previous version of iWeb, I navigated to a specific ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ directory, selected the Domain.site file, and opened it. This would open iWeb with the selected domain. Several of the sites have their blog page with the RSS subscribe option.
    Once I made the update, all I usually had to do was publish site and all was well. Occasionally, I would have to do a publish all if I changed domains. All in all, I had no problems with publishing once I found the right steps to be able to maintain multiple domains.
    Now, using the default publish or publish all process, all I get is the last site I published. In order to get things semi-functional, I published a site, then I would go to iDisk/Web/Sites/ directory, select the folder name for the site I had just published, then copy it or move it to iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb directory. This was rather slow and I suspect it is not an approved solution, but it semi-worked. My sites are back up, but they are not fully functional.
    Is there anyway to get back to using the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ directory (separate Domain.sites file for each site) process to publish multiple sites? If not, is there any way to suck in the various domains back into one? If that is possible, will it take hours to publish the combined 2-3GB like it did with the previous version?
    How do I reverse the 'personal domain' process? I do not want to do this at this time. I just wanted to see what the steps were. I have done the first step, but not the second.
    I was glad to see some of the changes made in the upgrade (web widgets, maps, html snippets, theme switching), but I am too happy about the changes made by the upgrade process. In the past, I upgraded my Apple related stuff as soon as it came out. Based on this upgrade, that won't happen again.
    It took you guys 5 days to get back to me (during which time several of my sites were down) and I do not believe the information you provided is going to solve my specific problems. I am very disappointed with the results of this upgrade. Clearly there was inadequate testing of this product before it was released. I cannot recall seeing the Apple discussion forums with hundreds of topics and thousands of posts within a week or two of a new release. Apple had to upgrade iWeb in the first week, another poor sign.
    Apple is beginning to slip back to the pack; all vendors all below average. Apple is getting more like Microsoft everyday. First Apple delays the release of an OS upgrade so they can concentrate on a freaking phone, now you release software that is so buggy it should be classified as beta at best.
    Some of the changes/problem I am seeing since the upgrade (in addition to the problems mentioned previously) are:
    layout changes; some of my pages no longer look the same; same of the changes are so bad the pages are unreadable
    broken photo pages; some of my photo pages no longer work; some of them have no text or pictures
    file/page name changes; why would Apple change the location of the files; now my domains are not pointing right location; special characters (like spaces, ampersands, etc.) are handled differently in this version; specifically, I see that spaces are changed to underscores (_); iWeb used to use '%20' for spaces; what was Apple thinking?
    broken 3rd party themes; I know Apple is not responsible for 3rd party themes, but you should certainly be aware that they exist
    Based on what I am seeing online, most of the people who are complaining about major iWeb issues are not newbies; based on the technical details in the threads, there are clearly some experienced people who are trying to figure things outw. I have lost many hours trying to figure this mess out. I now have to review hundreds of pages to try get things to look and work the way they did before the upgrade. I have had to handle dozens of phone calls and emails from my viewers and subscribers trying to explain the situation.
    I googled 'iweb 08 *****' and got nearly 50,000 hits! I think Apple better get in front of this train before it gets run over.

    Dear David,
    I understand that you are experiencing an issue viewing some of your websites published in iWeb:
    I have examined all of the published pages and they appear to load and function as expected. If you published your website to .Mac, you can visit it either of these ways:
    - In iWeb, click the Visit button in the lower-left corner.
    - Enter the following URL into a web browser:
    http://web.mac.com/daviddawley/
    If you have published more than one website, the URL above will take you to the default website, which is the first website listed in iWeb. To visit another website you have created in iWeb, use the following URL format:
    http://web.mac.com/daviddawley/iWeb/YourSiteName
    Using this form, the web addresses for the two sites you mentioned would be:
    http://web.mac.com/daviddawley/iWeb/FuzzyLlamaJuniorOptimist.com
    http://web.mac.com/daviddawley/iWeb/pAwesomeProductions.com
    To change the default website, simply open iWeb, and in the Site Organizer, drag the desired default website to the top and republish to .Mac.
    NOTE: Be sure to give each website a unique name. This will help prevent one website from overwriting another. For further information, refer to the following article:
    iWeb: Do not use similar names for your sites
    http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n303042
    If you still experience issues with the website, try the following troubleshooting steps:
    WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES
    If your website has movies, you may need to wait several minutes after going to the website before the movies are ready to play. The QuickTime Player icon indicates that a movie is still loading.
    CLEAR YOUR BROWSER CACHE
    If you use Safari, you can clear your browser cache by choosing Empty Cache from the Safari menu. If you use another browser, consult that browser’s documentation if you need assistance in clearing your browser cache.
    UPDATE YOUR BROWSER
    Make sure you are using the latest available version of your web browser when viewing pages published in iWeb. If you use Safari, you can check for updates by choosing Software Update from the Apple menu. If there are any available Safari, Security, or Mac OS X updates, install those updates and try looking at your website again.
    If you use another browser, consult that browser’s documentation if you need assistance in updating the browser.
    TRY ANOTHER BROWSER
    If you use a Mac, try viewing your website with Safari or Firefox. If you use Windows, try Internet Explorer 6 or Firefox. Firefox is a free download available here: http://getfirefox.com
    TRY ANOTHER NETWORK
    If possible, try viewing your website from another network or Internet connection. If you can successfully view the website from another network, please consult your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) to resolve this issue.

    Support Subject : iWeb
    Sub Issue : I can't publish to .Mac from iWeb
    Comments : I was interested in forwarding one of several iWeb based sites to one of my domains. I wanted to see what the steps were. I believe I inadvertently started the process for moving the site to www.nfdoi.com site. I have several sub directories under the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb directory with separate domain.sites files (now domain.sites2).
    I was going through all of my domain.sites files and opening them in iWeb08; then publishing them. Somewhere along the line everything blew up. Most of my iWeb sites no longer function, It appears that every other iweb site other www.nfdoi.com is down EXCEPT the last one I published. I have made a mess of things and would appreciate any help.

    Just got off the phone with Apple Support.  There procedure was the following:
    1.  Go to the Apple TV, select settings, general and scroll down to reset.
    2.  Select reset and then select reset all
    Apple TV will go through a restart after the reset and you will have to select your network then log in with your network or Airport Express password.  You will then have to turn on home sharing and It will then ask you for your Apple ID for the iTunes store and then the password.  At this point you may not see your library, because the Apple TV wants you to turn on home sharing on your home computer that is hosting the movie library.  Turn off home sharing on that computer, restart iTunes and turn on home sharing again.  After this is done you should be able to see you library listed under the computer.
    After going through these steps, when I select an HD movie from my iTunes library the movie comes up after about a 5 second delay.
    Hope this helps!  I am back up for business.

  • Copy/Paste Apple Forum Sign In P/W does not Paste

    Is there some security phenomenon that will not allow me to copy and paste my PW into the slot/space for Password
    when I try and signin to Apple forums. The allocated space where I would normally paste my PW does not show anything
    being pasted,, and I have also used Paste in the menu area , and even tried dragging my PW into this area, to no avail.
    Of course, I can type it in manually,, however, my PW is strong,, and generated, and find it very arduous to type in.
    Perhaps a 10.7 feature?

    Whoops, sorry, I was thinking of another forum I go to. You actually go Safari > Preferences > AutoFill and check the box for remember name and passwords. It will then ask you each site you log onto after that if you would like it to remember the password.

  • JDev Mac OSX bugs in Apple forum

    Hi-
    Just wanted to let JDev people know that I've been posting several JDev10G Mac OSX bugs to the Technologies/Apple forum under the topic 'JDev 10G works on OSX!'.
    I know: not officially supported betaware - but its there all the same. Generally JDev works quite nice under OSX as long as the Oracle LnF is used.

  • Why is almost every question in apple forum answered and almost none in windows?

    just for grins I just checked the Apple forum, almost every question is answered. Why can we not get a simple answer as to 8.1/cyan status?
    If you're trying to get rid of loyal customers, its working. I will be taking my 4 lines elsewhere in Nov. if I don't hear something positive soon. I am NOT interested in changing platforms, I like the Windows Phone.

    If only...
    The issue is that the iPhone brings in more revenue then Windows Phone does so support will cater to them more.  Again it shows how terrible customer service is with VZW.  All devices should get the same response/service.

  • Prohibit topics on apple forums?

    I was wondering if in the apple forums we don't have the option to express a bit freely, I had a topic posted yesterday(deleted) on the forums seeking some just mere opinions about the false reasons that apple was trying to block Adobe technology flash player from apple devices. I noticed that my topic was pass from the forums from the apple guard dogs that had their eye on the topic.
    I know that the forums has rules that got to be followed but simply taking out a topic for just an opinion that I expressed on the forums, it seems a bit wrong for that to happen. Is some topic on apple forums off-limit that anyone can't simply mentioned or talk about them on the forums? Why are flash conversations been deleted ? Have Steve jobs instructed every employee to erase any talks about flash player for the iPod touch?

    Thank-you very much Jim....
    I think that you are the first person to give me a straight answer to what I was asking about. You might be right, I probably hit a topic that talked about apple decisions to omit such a needed technology from adobe called "Flash". However, I think that they should let a bit of people to express a bit of the thoughts about such an went decision, regardless of that I should abide to apple forum rules.
    I'm gonna read those rules, so I won't break any rules.

  • How come Apple are slow on upgrading OpenGL?

    I'm curious on why Apple are slow on upgrading OpenGL on OS X?
    Yosemite supports up to OpenGL 4.1 and OpenGL is up to 4.5 now?
    Would be great if Apple could update OpenGL little more often, but I guess that is just wishful thinking on my part.

    I'm running 10.10.3 and have this for OpenGL as reported int eh Software/Frameworks of the System Information.

  • My friend can't sign-up for Apple Forum

    I just came back from my friend's house. While there, I tried repeatedly to enter her into the Apple Discussions Forum, but every time I clicked on CREATE ACCOUNT, nothing happened, except that I was asked to complete the same blanks again. What's wrong? I answered every question, and filled in every space, but finally had to give up after trying at least five times. Is there something wrong at your end that prevents people from signing-up for the Apple Discussions Forum?

    it appears there are some issues with the forums. there are a couple of threads going on this. Hopefully it will be resolved soon. Assuming they are not all at MWSF next week.
