  • IWeb sites can't be found by Google

    This can't be real: No iWeb site can be found by Google bots.
    Apple offers an app for people who are NOT html-savvy (everyone else would use a different, more professional app) - and if they want their sites to be found by Google or any other search engine, they have to find (and pay) a web designer.
    Not only that no meta tags are added. All main text is turned into something else, a picture format maybe, I don't know, but I can't select those texts in Safari any more - they aren't text any more. Thus, Google can't find the titles, main texts and picture subtitles either.
    Or have I missed something withing the related threads here?
    Thanks a lot for a clarification
    Peter

    Peter,
    Glad you figured out the text-to-png problem. The real text should definitely help once Google's spiders crawl your site. I think the real answer is that it just takes time. When you add pages or blog entries or whatever, try to use what might be more unique keywords in your titles or phrases that might make your webpage more visible in search results. Once I did an experiment on my own blog and used "Paris Hilton" in the entry. It took about a week, but sure enough depending on your search terms, my little page shot up to number one out of about 1.6 million sites. Lasted probably for about 3 weeks that way. Pretty funny.
    So I guess what I am trying to say is that ALL of the search engines will eventually find your site (even with all of iWeb's crazy URLs). The real quest if you care about these things (sounds like you do) is how to get your pages closer to the top of the heap when it does get noticed. That is where you have more control...page titles and text and also unique links to your pages from other sites. Start "optimizing" your pages now and it will pay off later.

  • My iWeb site can no longer be found by browsers

    I have had an iWeb site which has been live for about a month. It has been working perfectly. I have updated several times without any issue. It still appears to be working well within iWeb. I can make changes and publish changes.
    I have my own domain name hosted on mobileme
    When I now search the internet using any browser, it says
    Can't open the page http://www.dhsem.com.au/ because the server where this page is located isn't responding.
    I have checked my .mac account and everything seems to be fully functional. Why has my site suddenly disappeared off the internet?
    I have tried removing the com.apple.iWeb.plist file from Library/Preferences, rebooting the computer, republishing the entire site, all to no avail.
    The site is still sitting in iDisk/Web/Sites.
    Everything looks normal from the iWeb side of things. For some reason, no browser can find the server (The IP address of the server is: 118.215.20.59)
    Would appreciate any help

    You don't need to get your domain name registrar to do this - you should easily be able to do it yourself.
    Firstly, ensure that your domain name is entered into the Personal Domain name setting of your MobileMe account.
    Go to your domain name registrar and then set up CNAME forwarding if they provide this and forward your domain name to web.me.com - this is all you need do - you don't need to fiddle with nameservers or anything else like that.
    If they don't provide CNAME forwarding then you can use web forwarding instead.

  • Can't Publish Site, Can't Access iWeb

    I am so far beyond frustrated it's hard to think straight. I have been having nothing but problems with iWeb for weeks, and I can't find any answers or help. Ever since I got the notice that .Mac Homepage is going to be retired, I have been trying to update the 1400+ Homepage pages on my site to iWeb so I can make changes as needed to the pages in the future. I have a music review and interview site (I don't sell anything), and I need to update as many of these pages as I can before July 7. In the past two weeks, I've been able to update only a few pages because iWeb freezes, disappears, drops the updates, or the little ball just keeps turning. I have worked so hard to make MainlyPiano.com a top-notch site, and since I upgraded to iWeb '09, it has been nothing but heartache. Instead of writing new reviews, I'm spending all of my time trying to get this program to work for me again, and it just keeps doing everything except what I want it to do. Apple Support indicates that there is nothing wrong with the program. Why then are so many of us having so many problems getting it to work properly, and why does it work properly for a little while and then crash? iWeb was working fine on my iMac for a long time, and now I can't bring the site up on that computer at all!
    I updated a couple of pages this evening, and they published in record time. I went to update another page and the program froze, so I quit iWeb. Then I couldn't get iWeb to open to the site, so I rebooted. The two pages I updated are now online, but I can't access them in the iWeb program. How can that be? This is like an ongoing nightmare and I don't know what to do to fix it. Can someone please give me an idea of where to go for some answers????
    Kathy

    I know this, but I need access to most of my pages so I can update them as necessary. The biggest problem is that most of my updates either don't publish or iWeb freezes while I'm working with it or my new pages disappear like they did last night. They are online, but they aren't on the iWeb application so I can't access them. I just quit and reopened iWeb to see if they came up, but they did not. I saved them both before I published, so I don't understand this at all. I still can't get the site to come up at all in my iMac. My forehead is getting very bruised from banging my head against the wall!

  • Saved and published updated website, changes not saved in iweb.  Have lost all work in iweb but correct site is on the internet.  Can I retrieve site from internet and replace to iweb so can continue updating?

    Just finished updating web site, saved and published.  Showed up on the internet finr, went back to do a few tweeks and all my days work is gone!  Fine on the net gone in iweb!  I don't want to loose the days work.  Is there any way to get the website from the internet and stuffit back into iweb, without redoing all the work?  Why didn't it save?  Wjat can I do to prevent this happening again?  Where did I go wrong?

    Publish you site to a folder on your hard drive and open it locally with your browser.  Check to see if the site is all there.  If not
    Try the following:
    delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    launch iWeb and publish to the folder again.
    If that doesn't help continue with:
    move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
    go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    launch iWeb and try again.

  • Simple explanation of what is happening with iWeb and Mobile Me. Can anyone explain this simply and if our existing web site can be hosted elsewhere, if so can it still be updated using iWeb. Any advice very welcome

    We have a website that has run successfully using iWeb and Mobile me. We understand Mobile Me is being discontinued from June. From this forum it seems iWeb also is not being supported any more. So can the existing site be hosted successfully with another provider or is it best to start again. If so any advice on options would be very welcome;
    Thanks
    PB

    For the most part if you just get a new webhost you can continue to run with iWeb. Since you are still running Tiger iWeb should work just fine for you. You will simply need to publish your website to a folder or with the built in FTP in iWeb. Apple has simply quit updating iWeb & there will come a day when iWeb quits working in the later OS's whatever kitty comes after Lion.

  • Attn: Sun. Can we distribute the JRE with a program we write?

    I'm trying to find out whether it's legal to distribute the JRE with a program I write. If you look at the license agreement when you download the JRE, first it has the regular license agreement, which says that you can't. But then it has the "supplemental" license agreement (and it says that this "modifies" the regular license agreement). In section 2 of the supplemental license agreement, it quite clearly states that you can as long as you don't modify it and you include some little messages in your documentation.
    So I'm hoping to get an answer from someone who actually works for Sun. It seems pretty clear to me that we ARE allowed to distribute the JRE with a program, but people keep sending me emails when I tell them about it - saying things like "You can't program in Java because you can't distribute it."
    What I want to do is have an installation program that installs my game and then installs Java (with Sun's JRE installer - this is included ONLY so that it can run my game, as stated in the supplemental license agreement). I should also mention that I do actually intend to SELL this program, so if that's a problem, please say so. Anyways, could someone from Sun tell me whether this is allowed or not? I don't want to break the law.
    - Steve Fletcher

    The JRE includes a readme file that explicitly states that distribution is permissible, given certain conditions. In particular, look at the 1st paragraph below:
    Reproduced here:
    README
    Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition
    Version 1.4.1
    The Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment is intended for software developers
    and vendors to redistribute with their applications.
    The Java 2 Runtime Environment contains the Java virtual machine,
    runtime class libraries, and Java application launcher that are
    necessary to run programs written in the Java programming language.
    It is not a development environment and does not contain development
    tools such as compilers or debuggers. For development tools, see the
    Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition.
    =======================================================================
    Deploying Applications with the Java 2 Runtime Environment
    =======================================================================
    When you deploy an application written in the Java programming
    language, your software bundle will probably consist of the following
    parts:
    Your own class, resource, and data files.
    A runtime environment.
    An installation procedure or program.
    You already have the first part, of course. The remainder of this
    document covers the other two parts. See also the Notes for Developers
    page on the Java Software website:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/runtime.html
    Runtime Environment
    To run your application, a user needs the Java 2 Runtime Environment,
    which is freely available from Sun for application developers to
    redistribute.
    The final step in the deployment process occurs when the software is
    installed on individual user system. Installation consists of copying
    software onto the user's system, then configuring the user's system
    to support that software. You should ensure that your installation
    procedure does not overwrite existing JRE installations, as they may
    be required by other applications.
    =======================================================================
    Redistribution of the Java 2 Runtime Environment
    =======================================================================
    The term "vendors" used here refers to licensees, developers, and
    independent software vendors (ISVs) who license and distribute the
    Java 2 Runtime Environment with their programs.
    Vendors must follow the terms of the Java 2 Runtime Environment Binary
    Code License agreement.
    Required vs. Optional Files
    The files that make up the Java 2 Runtime Environment are divided into
    two categories: required and optional. Optional files may be excluded
    from redistributions of the Java 2 Runtime Environment at the
    licensee's discretion.
    The following section contains a list of the files and directories that
    may optionally be omitted from redistributions with the Java 2 Runtime
    Environment. All files not in these lists of optional files must be
    included in redistributions of the runtime environment.
    Optional Files and Directories
    The following files may be optionally excluded from redistributions:
    lib/charsets.jar
    Character conversion classes
    jre/lib/ext/
    sunjce_provider.jar - the SunJCE provider for Java
    Cryptography APIs
    localedata.jar - contains many of the resources
    needed for non US English locales
    ldapsec.jar - contains security features supported
    by the LDAP service provider
    dnsns.jar - for the InetAddress wrapper of JNDI DNS provider
    bin/rmid
    Java RMI Activation System Daemon
    bin/rmiregistry
    Java Remote Object Registry
    bin/tnameserv
    Java IDL Name Server
    bin/keytool
    Key and Certificate Management Tool
    bin/kinit and jre/bin/kinit
    Used to obtain and cache Kerberos ticket-granting tickets
    bin/klist and jre/bin/klist
    Kerberos display entries in credentials cache and keytab
    bin/ktab and jre/bin/ktab
    Kerberos key table manager
    bin/policytool
    Policy File Creation and Management Tool
    bin/orbd
    Object Request Broker Daemon
    bin/servertool
    Java IDL Server Tool
    In addition, the Java Web Start product may be excluded from
    redistributions. Depending on the platform, the Java Web Start
    product is contained in a file named as follows. The actual
    product version number would replace the <version number> notation.
    javaws-<version number>-solaris-sparc-i.zip
    javaws-<version number>-solaris-i586-i.zip
    javaws-<version number>-linux-i586-i.zip
    javaws-<version number>-windows-i586-i.exe
    Redistribution of Java 2 SDK Files
    The limited set of files from the SDK listed below may be included in
    vendor redistributions of the Java 2 Runtime Environment. All paths
    are relative to the top-level directory of the SDK.
    - jre/lib/cmm/PYCC.pf
    Color profile. This file is required only if one wishes to
    convert between the PYCC color space and another color space.
    - All .ttf font files in the jre/lib/fonts directory. Note that the
    LucidaSansRegular.ttf font is already contained in the Java 2
    Runtime Environment, so there is no need to bring that file over
    from the SDK.
    - jre/lib/audio/soundbank.gm
    This MIDI soundbank is present in the Java 2 SDK, but it has
    been removed from the Java 2 Runtime Environment in order to
    reduce the size of the Runtime Environment's download bundle.
    However, a soundbank file is necessary for MIDI playback, and
    therefore the SDK's soundbank.gm file may be included in
    redistributions of the Runtime Environment at the vendor's
    discretion. Several versions of enhanced MIDI soundbanks are
    available from the Java Sound web site:
    http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/sound/
    These alternative soundbanks may be included in redistributions
    of the Java 2 Runtime Environment.
    - The javac bytecode compiler, consisting of the following files:
    bin/javac [Solaris(TM) Operating Environment
                                 and Linux]
    bin/sparcv9/javac [Solaris Operating Environment
                                 (SPARC(TM) Platform Edition)]
    bin/javac.exe [Microsoft Windows]
    lib/tools.jar [All platforms]
    - jre\bin\server\
    On Microsoft Windows platforms, the Java 2 SDK includes both
    the Java HotSpot Server VM and Java HotSpot Client VM. However,
    the Java 2 Runtime Environment for Microsoft Windows platforms
    includes only the Java HotSpot Client VM. Those wishing to use
    the Java HotSpot Server VM with the Java 2 Runtime Environment
    may copy the SDK's jre\bin\server folder to a bin\server
    directory in the Java Runtime Environment. Software vendors may
    redistribute the Java HotSpot Server VM with their
    redistributions of the Java Runtime Environment.
    Unlimited Strength Java Cryptography Extension
    Due to import control restrictions for some countries, the Java
    Cryptography Extension (JCE) policy files shipped with the Java 2 SDK,
    Standard Edition and the Java 2 Runtime Environment allow strong but
    limited cryptography to be used. These files are located at:
    <java-home>/lib/security/local_policy.jar
    <java-home>lib/security/US_export_policy.jar
    where <java-home> is the jre directory of the Java 2 SDK or the
    top-level directory of the Java 2 Runtime Environment.
    An unlimited strength version of these files indicating no restrictions
    on cryptographic strengths is available on the Java 2 SDK web site for
    those living in eligible countries. Those living in eligible countries
    may download the unlimited strength version and replace the strong
    cryptography jar files with the unlimited strength files.
    Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism
    An endorsed standard is a Java API defined through a standards
    process other than the Java Community Process(SM) (JCP(SM)). Because
    endorsed standards are defined outside the JCP, it is anticipated that
    such standards will be revised between releases of the Java 2
    Platform. In order to take advantage of new revisions to endorsed
    standards, developers and software vendors may use the Endorsed
    Standards Override Mechanism to provide newer versions of an endorsed
    standard than those included in the Java 2 Platform as released by Sun
    Microsystems.
    For more information on the Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism,
    including the list of platform packages that it may be used to
    override, see
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/guide/standards/
    Classes in the packages listed on that web page may be replaced only
    by classes implementing a more recent version of the API as defined
    by the appropriate standards body.
    In addition to the packages listed in the document at the above
    URL, which are part of the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition
    (J2SE(TM)) specification, redistributors of Sun's J2SE
    Reference Implementation are allowed to override classes whose
    sole purpose is to implement the functionality provided by
    public APIs defined in these Endorsed Standards packages.
    Redistributors may also override classes in the org.w3c.dom.*
    packages, or other classes whose sole purpose is to implement
    these APIs.

  • Can it be?!?   Firefox can't post blog comments?!

    On a site I have under development, adding comments to a blog entry is smooth as silk in Safari, but efforts to enter a comment from Firefox (v. 2.0.0.4) produce only the following error message in the window in which one can ordinarily post a comment:
    "We're sorry. We are having a problem processing your request."
    Any suggestions appreciated!

    I ran across this same problem in almost every browser for my own site. I tried it both ways on your site with Firefox. The difference between an error and successful commenting was how I entered your website's address.
    In the "iweb" section of your address, please note that you have it listed as /iweb/ with a lower case w in iweb.
    If you change the "w" to an upper case so that section of the address reads /iWeb/ then the comment button works correctly. This fix for a crazy glitch has worked in every browser I have tried.
    Hopefully, that is all that is needed for your dilemma!

  • I am trying to edit my website which was composed in iweb. I have my website saved on my hard drive. When I open iweb, I can't seem to load the website folder into iweb for editing purposes. Anyone know a quick solution to this?

    I am trying to edit my website which, was composed on iweb about 2 years ago. I have the website stored on my hard drive. When I open iweb, I can't figure out how to load the website into iweb for editing purposes. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

    You need to migrate to a modern, supported webpage development application and leave iWeb behind.  It hasn't been supported for 2 years now and was behind the curve feature wise when it was dropped by Apple.
    One app that many have migrated to because it is very similar to iWeb in the GUI and features is Everweb.  It has a demo version that you can try.  Text and photos from you current published site can be copied and pasted into Everweb to help the migration over.
    There are other possible candidates.  Just search the iWeb forum for "iWeb alternative" or "iWeb replacement" to get a list of topics discussing them.

    Can I set a default home page when people use my router?
    Can I set it to my web site for example so that people have to go there when they connect?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Hello EireReality. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!

    No, at least not that I'm aware of. Setting a "default home page" is typical feature of a web browser, not an Internet router.

  • IWeb '09 can't import earlier files?  Unbelievable.

    Just installed iWeb '09 on both my main Macs and found out that I can't import the websites I created in an earlier version of the application. Really a stupid decision on the part of Apple, in my opinion. The idea that I'll love '09 so much (before I've even used it) that I'll redesign dozens of meticulously created and tweezed pages just to get the privilege of using it is a bit, uh, presumptuous. (Again-in my opinion, of course. No flames, please).
    Has anyone yet created a shareware or commercial application that will do what '09 should already do: import existing webpages created in iWeb?
    Suggestions are welcome (other than "just bite the bullet and rebuild the sites"). Thanks!

    Well actually, yes, iWeb 09 can open sites created in both 06 and 08.
    Transfer the domain files from both these sites to your computers - you will find the domain.sites files located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. iWeb 09 will be able to open these files.
    You always need to ensure that you are using the correct files - in this case the domain files that you need to make any alteration to any iWeb site.
    If you are talking about already published sites that consist of html files, then you are correct that iWeb cannot import these and you will have to re-build, but this is why the domain files exist instead.
    You do need to ensure that you backup the correct files -DOMAIN FILES.

  • Problems with comments-enabled PDF: I can't see my client's comments

    Hello,
    I really hope somebody can help me.
    THE SITUATION: I have a comments-enabled PDF. The comments repository is located on my externally hosted webdav server. Both my client and I have local copies of the PDF, and up until today, my client was able to post comments on the PDF.
    THE PROBLEM:
    - Today, my client suddenly noticed that the review had "expired" and she can't post her comments.
    - I am able to see and post my own comments in the PDF, but I can't see my client's comments in the PDF.
    - My client can see her own comments. (I don't know if she can see mine.)
    - If I log into my webdav site with FTP, I can see my client's XML file which contains all her comments. I can also see my own XML file which contains my comments, and it is indeed updating each time I add a new comment.
    I thought it would be possible to import the XML file containing all her comments into the PDF. However XML is not a format that Acrobat allows you to import!!! It only will accept FDF, XFDF, or PDF!
    Phone tech support was spectacularly unhelpful. I seriously doubt "Nelson" from Bombay has ever used Acrobat in his life. He asked me to send the file to him, which I did, but I haven't heard back.
    So my question is:
    1) How can I get my Acrobat file to view the comments which are sitting on the comments server in an xml file? Why would it see mine but ignore hers?
    2) If I can't get the comments to show up, then can I at least import my client's comments, which are currently sitting in an XML file, into my PDF?
    bonus question: Why is there so little documentation about dealing with webdav comments repositories? Is it considered better to use acrobat.com instead of our own webdav server or something?
    This is Acrobat 9.1.0 Pro for Leopard.

    Thanks for your reply, Steve. Yes, she did say that there was an end date, but when I go there, I don't see one. Baffling.
    I have decided to go over to her office, create an archive of her PDF, then try to pull those comments into a new PDF.
    This is a GIANT PAIN. And egg in my face, after I've sold this client on the ease and convenience of a PDF workflow!
    So is there any way to get xml comments back into a PDF???
