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????

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!

How can I publish sites separately ?

I have 3 different sites stored on IWeb and only one of them is ready for publishing.
Can someone tell me how I can do to differenciate publishings...
Can I open a new session of IWeb, (that is without my saved sites) without having to erase the "old" session.

Welcome to the discussions MacBookPro
All of your websites are held in one file, domain.sites, this file lives here:
User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites
If you want to publish each site seperately then you need to create seperate domain files for each site, there are some tips Here (www.willg4pb.com) that discuss the process in more depth.
Simply create duplicate domain files, ctrl+click on the domain file and then choose "Duplicate", for each site you want, and simply delete the sites that you dont want in each domain file. Be careful not to lose your data, make sure that you create backup files, before doing anything!

Have run out of room on iweb, can't publish. Can I delete data and reclaim space?

I have been working on my website for ages, constantly doing and redoing and saving each time. Now I get a message that I've run out of room & can't publish. I kow I can buy more space, but it's annoying because I'm sure there is a mass of trash I could delete from the changes I've made. But where is it, and how can I dump it. Is it possible?

It's a regular error with MobileMe. Usually it says that you run oit of space.

Can't publish site

Greetings People,
Is there an any server updating occurring?
I keep getting this error message when trying to publish site. Please advise. Thank you.

Hi Robert,
That means when in your home network, Muse is not allowed to make connection with the servers at business catalyst. Please check your firewall and make sure nothing is blocking Muse. Was this working before?

Can't publishing to my already created iweb site

Have been unable to publish to an iweb site I already created. Been unable to correct the problem for a year with no help from Mac people. Quits in the middle of publishing every time.
Dave?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
3 - reboot.
4 - launch iWeb and see if you can publish.
If that doesn't help continue:
5 - move the domain file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
6 - launch iWeb, create a new test site and save.
7 - go to the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
8 - move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
9 - launch iWeb and try again.

Can't Publish to a folder on iWeb

I host two web sites for a genealogy program ( USGENPROJ ) and have been using an old Pagemill program , with Fetch for my FTP. I just bought iWeb ( part of iLife 8) and started transferring some of my pages over from Pagemill to iWeb. I click "publish to a folder" ( as I'm not using .Mac ). The dialog box asks for my URL ( which I copy & paste right from one of my two existing web sites). When I click to transfer the info to the folder I always get an " unknown error" notice. I've tried a number of times and always get the same error . Please help.

Roddy: In Pagemill, I select a block of text and "copy" it. Then I open iWeb & choose a "blank" template , draw a text frame and then click "paste". Now I've transferred my selected text to my iWeb page. Everything is working ok at this point and the text is now on my iWeb page. Next, I choose " publish to a folder" as I'm not using .Mac . I want to "transfer" my text to the folder so that I can see what its going to look like on Safari. A dialog box opens up asking me to insert the URL exactly as it will be seen on the web site, so I go to the existing web site and "copy" the URL, then back to the dialog box and "paste" in the URL, then I click" create". At this point I get the "unknown error" message. and a couple of times the Safari site opens up saying it doesn't recognize the URL and it shows something like the following: /users/monty/desktop/site/blank/. I believe I'm following the instructions but it always ends up with the error notice. Thanks for getting back to me -- Monty

I can't publish site online?

I have created the site and saved to a folder, but can't seem to publish it via FTP server. The box is gray...any tips?

When you publish to a folder iWeb's job is done.
You now have to put the files on the server yourself with a FTP application of your choice.
Why not use iWeb's built-in FTP feature? Assuming you use iWeb 3.0.4.

Published site / can not navigate

iweb 09.
navigation throughout my site on my mac is fine.
after publishing the entire site, I can not navigate through the site on line.
it will work if I go to previous page and start all over again.
figureofeight.com

The Sponsor's Page and Investors Page are the only two whose navbar bar doesn't work. Click on the navbar on those pages and bring it to the front using the Arrange->Bring to Front menu option.
The width of the navbar section varies in width which is causing the navbar to be different on several pages (the Home page is one of the worse offenders). Increase the width of the navbar section so that the links do not wrap around and split links, i.e. Other Services).

HT4686 How can I publish my website developed using iWeb and have all functions of the blog page work as it did with MobileMe?

I have developed a website using iWeb and it includes a blog page selected from stock pages in iWeb. I'm publishing it with GoDaddy and when I do that the interactive functions of the blog page don't work. (Adding comments and photos as well as searching). Is there any simple way to host this site somewhere so that those functions work?

No, because all those functions were MobileMe only and now that MobileMe has gone, they won't function any longer.
To enable these to function, you either need to add them yourself or change your blogging platform to something else such as WordPress etc., and create a link from iWeb to your WordPress blog or embed the blog page using iframe into your iWeb site.
Commenting systems such as Disqus or http://www.intensedebate.com work quite well.

Can't publish changes - buttons disabled

Dear all,
I can not publish changes to my sitethrough iWeb. The buttons are disabled to publish and I have no ideawhat to do... I have to update my website! I have 2 mac computers athome, but just one of them is with all the site that I've donebefore. It's EMMANUELEBALDINI.ME
I have Time Capsule also, but I don'tknow how to copy the whole site in it.. and also, how to update mywebsite.
First it has appeared UNKNOWNPUBLISHING ERROR OCCURS. THE DISK MAY BE DAMAGED, FULL, OR YOU MAYNOT HAVE SUFFICIENT and I tried to cancel some dates to fix thisproblem and now it doesn't appear this message, but the buttons andthe option to publish the website don't appear.
Some help?
Please...
Fernanda

First we need some details: where are you hosting the site? Have you visited the site to see if the changes have been made? Try clearing your browser's cache (Command+Option+E for Safari) and relaod the site.
Have you tried publishing your site to a folder on your hard drive? If not do so.
A first fix attempt can be 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 try again.

Can't Publish Slides from PowerPoint 2013 to SharePoint 2010 Slide Library

Hello all,
When I attempt to publish PowerPoint 2013 slides to a SharePoint 2010 Slide Library it informs me that it failed. I am able to publish PowerPoint 2010 slides without issue. All of my permissions are correct. Is it possible to publish PowerPoint 2013 slides
to SharePoint 2010?
The weird thing is that while I can't publish, I can compile a new slide deck in PowerPoint 2013 using the "Copy slide to presentation" button in the slide library of my SharePoint 2010 site.
Thanks!

When I get this error it is because SharePoint is not passing the credentials to the network share where the slide library is located. So when PowerPoint
tries to upload slides to SharePoint it is giving an error of unauthorized (because your credentials are not being passed correctly). Every part of SharePoint is essentially a network shared drive just like you have an internal network to share files between
employees. Assuming you are having the same problem for the same reason, here's the work around:
Set up a mapped network drive that goes to where the slide library is located. It should be something like this: \\sp.sharepoint.com@SSL\site\Sales\Slide Library
When you connect to this drive it will prompt you for a log in (just like SharePoint would)
Once you log in your credentials will be cached (until you reboot your system or it times out)
You can then publish to your PowerPoint slides to the library either directly through PowerPoint or by going to the upload slides option on SharePoint
The problem is it only last until you reboot. When you reboot it clears out your credentials then you have to log in again. I’m hoping someone can figure out why SharePoint is
not passing the credentials properly so we can have true fix to this issue. Until then, this will get you by.

Non site collection admins unable to create publishing sites

I've come across a problem which a number of other people have found and blogged about a 'fix', this is where non site collection administrators are unable to create sub sites with the publishing site templates (both with and without workflow version).
The 'fix' for this is to grant 'Restricted Read' permission to everyone on the Masterpage and DeviceChannels folders.
Does anyone know if this has been fixed properly, i.e. by Microsoft in one of the updates? I'm still going through them one by one but haven't yet found one that sorts it out.
Thanks.

Hi Simon,
I tested the same scenario per your post in my environment, and I cannot create the publishing site when I had no permission on the Device Channels list.
It seems that we need to have at least Read permission on the Device Channels list (no permission is needed on the Master Pages Gallery ), then the publishing site can be created successfully.
I checked the ULS log and found that the Device Channels list was needed to be requested when creating the publishing site. So if we have no permission on the Device Channels list, we cannot access the list and then the creation of the publishing
site will fail.
It is by design that Read permission is needed on the Device Channels list when creating the publishing site.
Best regards.
