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...

A warning to those with iWeb not publishing to .mac

I made a beautiful web site on iWeb, but when I lost my hard drive, even though I saved all my info, I can not restore my web page to the iWeb program! They make it impossible. I was told I should have save my page (not very sympathetic) but I had all the files saved to a folder so I can upload to my server. The thing they don't tell you is that you CAN NOT save in the iWeb format, therefore you can not put it back in once it's deleted! iWeb changes the format to put it in a folder, and they don't tell you that you are forced to use .mac in order to make sure it's not lost. I am so disappointed in Apple lately! I have had four others and never had the trouble I've seen with this iMac. Intel *****!

{quote}I have had four others and never had the trouble I've seen with this iMac. Intel ***!
{quote}
There is nothing any computer company can do to stop a hard drive from failing. That is why everyone is encouraged to backup their information. What does Intel ( a processor manufacturer) have to do with your hard drive problems? You can blame Apple, Intel, or anyone all you want but it certainly is not going to fix any of your problems. Nor are they responsible for your data.
Again I'm not sure why you are insisting that this is a problem with not having a .Mac/Me account, because you would still be SOL. The iweb data file is stored on your computer.

Absolutely can't publish to .mac

like the title says, I just can't publish to .mac, I tried almost everything, and every time I get the following error:
An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites”. Try publishing again later.
I tried publishing from another user, new site from scratch, trashed all prefs, ...
Nothing works... i think it's a problem with my iDisk, since /Web/Sites is the directory on your iDisk iWeb publishes to, but how you reset your iDisk? I trashed all files in the directory Sites and RSS but that didn't help...
Any help, I'm getting desperate...
THANKS!
P.S. I'm using iWeb 2.0.2

I just got a reply from Apple, but just the usual proposals, so I answered right back, here's my answer:
Dear David,
Thanks for the response, I will try to answer your mail as good as possible.
First, the possible solutions you mention.
- I have the last version of iweb, version 2.0.2
- I tried republishing all pages to .mac. The error happens when I choose "publish all" or just "publish"
What happens, is iWeb starts to create all the web pages, and then starts uploading. Then it even starts uploading all the pages, when all pages are uploaded, the progress bars are all filled, I get one of the following errors:
*An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites”. Try publishing again later.*
or "an unknow error occurred"
or *An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites”. Try publishing again later.*
After that all pages appear as unpublished. The strange thing is that the pages are in fact published, but iWeb sees them as unpublished. However all .mac functions as comments, search boxes and counters don't work...
- I tried publishing my sites over a dozen times, over several days. Publishing takes a very long time, over 6 hours... So every day I give it another try, but with no success...
- My .mac password isn't over 20 characters long...
- I can publish to a folder. That's what I did right now, I published my sites to a folder and manually uploaded them to my iDisk. But that takes a very, very long time, and doesn't give me an convenient way to just publish changes to the site, and also the .mac functions like search, comments, etc. don't work then.
- My sites aren't password protected.
- I can upload to my iDisk.
- I don't have any other network problems, I could publish to .mac in the past and my network hasn't changed since. All network or internet related apps work as they always did.
So I guess, I tried all your proposed solutions but publishing still doesn't work...
If you are still unable to publish to .Mac with iWeb, please respond to this message with the following information:
- A detailed description of the troubleshooting steps you have taken
I think I tried almost anything, publishing to a folder, choosing publish all, deleted all files from my iDisk and started over, and all the proposed solutions above. I've been using Mac's since 1992, so I do know my way around, but that's one problem I just can't seem to solve...
- A step-by-step description of what you were trying to accomplish when the error messages occurred
I just choose publish all, or publish, doesn't matter, always the same error and iWeb sees all my pages in my 3 sites as unpublished.
- The exact text (if possible) of the error messages you received
"an unknown error occurred"
"an error occurred
- A description of your network, including whether it has hubs, routers, cable or DSL modems, wireless routers (including AirPort), or proxy servers
I have a dsl line, connected to an airport express. I use my Powerbook wireless over airport.
Please also answer these questions:
- Does this issue occur with other computers on your network?
There are no other computers in my network
- Does this issue occur when your computer is on a different network?
I have the same network setup at the office, dsl to an airport express, I have the same errors there.
- When were you last able to publish to .Mac successfully?
I think a few weeks ago... I can publish to my .mac Gallery from iPhoto and can manually upload to my iDisk. All other .mac functions as sync and backup also seem to work...
Hopes this helps to find a solution for my problem, and that I can publish my sites again from iWeb.
If you need any more information, I'll gladly answer them.
Thanks in advance,
Yours sincerely,
Dave Depickere
i hope they'll reply swiftly, so this can be solved!
I'll keep you informed!

On windows XP or linux have a MAC adress Change function allow 00 mac adress and another normal mac adress range.On windows 8.1 all Mac changer program dont work.This 2,6,A,E on second adress are not vaild Mac adress. You simply can not use normal MAC
addresses on windows 8.1.When i connect the usb the Pc windows 8.1 recognizes the adapter but the default driver and the downloaded ralink driver the same problem.On windows xp the current driver works perfectly have (Local Mac Network Adress) funktion
and works with the 802.11b hot spot.I got the internet my PC and laptop too public HotSpots and another wifi HotSpots if wont work correctly i can not use neither the windows 7,8,8.1 or 10. Many users have expressed interest in the problem more forums.
The 3. problem im tested in virtualbox the windows 7 and 8.1 on 8.1 (on the blue wifi platform) not show correctly the signal strengh. On windows 7 show this correctly.The windows 7-8.1 Configure/advanced the advanced options on Ralink 3070 the default (windows
driver) somehow downgraded function is less than for Xp. Configure/advanced the advanced options (needs to be upgraded in the future) because it does not advance but rather regressed.
Today it is very common these wi-fi technology increasingly used (hotels,Public Hots Spots,Internet coffe,) growing free bublic wifi projects. The wifi funktions on windows need debugging and modernize.The quality of Wi-Fi is now the operating system
is now a thing order which is not good then the operating system is unusable.

Hi,
For changing the MAC address for Windows 7 is designed with some limitation, we cannot get over it. Thanks for your understanding.
Under Windows 7, the possible range of spoofed addresses for wireless adapters that can be set is limited. To be used by Windows 7, a spoofed MAC address should have 0 as a least significant bit (unicast) and 1 as a second least significant
bit (locally administered) in the second nibble. Thus possible values for the second nibble are limited to 2, 6, A and E.
In other words
MAC address: “XY-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX” “X” can be anything hexadecimal. The hexadecimal “Y”, written in binary format, is Y: “kmnp”, where “p” is the least significant bit;
p=0 --> unicast;
p=1 --> multicast;
n=0 --> globally assigned MAC;
n=1 --> locally administered;
So, actually MAC can be changed to any combination in which p=0 and n=1;
“Y” can be 2, 6, A or E.
So the possible MAC addresses in Windows 7 for wireless adapters:
X2-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
X6-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
XA-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
XE-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX

Yes. You need 2011 or later in order to mirror as it requires the newer processor. The alternative is airparrot, which does it via software.

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 19.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

Can i publish to .mac if i am behind a proxy?

Hey,
I just arrived on a new campus and i can't get passed the login phase to .mac and so i can't publish to .mac. any suggestions?

Very unlikely that you will get past that proxy server.
If financial constraints will allow, get a Verizon air card for your PowerBook. I've used one for years and I don't think I've ever been disappointed with it. The one I use is almost as fast as my land line--I've put up entire sites with it before.
I use the KPC650. You will be glad you made the investment, as you can then use your PowerBook for practically anything.

Can not publish Ical in 10.5

I can not publish my large work calender to the web. Every time I try to do so I get a message that it is unavailable. I have opened/closed; published/unpublished; exported and imported the calender and still nothing. I really need to be able to publish it
It worked till I went to 10.3

Same problem here. Publishing to http://mydisk.provider.net says
"The server responded with
"HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable"Service not available"
However simply mounting http://mydisk.provider.net as a WebDAV Disk in the Finder is no problem so I blame iCal rather than my provider for the occasional(!) error.

Can not publish or export CS4, Vista

Hello all,
I'm hoping someone has had this problem and can help. I am using a new computer with Vista. I'm using Flash CS4. My flash document is huge and has an imported video in it. So the file size is 675 MB. (I'm guessing this is the problem). Anyway, I have moved the flash document from the server to my computer. I also saved it as a CS4 version - it was created in MX. I can not publish it or export it. I need it to be a swf file, html, or .mov. I was able to do it once as a swf file, but I needed to make changes to it and now I can't get it to export again. The progress bar shows up like it's publishing, but when it's halfway done, the window disappears and nothing has happened.
It's enough to drive you insane. Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Well, I converted it into an flv after I read about it in the help. But the quality was horrible. It made the video into a smaller file, but it made it grainy and pixilated. I think the original format of my video was the problem, however. Because I was reading in the CS4 help docs and it said the only format you can import is flv. I originally imported the wmv into Flash MX and then opened that file in Flash CS4. So I bet when I went to export from CS4 it would process until it got to the wmv and then just stop. Would be nice if there as an error message. Still doesn't explain why I was able to export it from CS4 once though! Oh and the help also says that you should only embed a short - 10 second etc - video directly into the timeline in Flash. oops! Mine was 12 minutes, ha.
Anyway, thanks for the idea about just using Windows Movie Maker. I didn't know you could add titles to scenes until you mentioned it and then I read about it in WMM. I had to trick the program a little to get my titles to be on the top of the scene instead of the middle, but it will work for next time.
Thanks!
