Cannot Publish Site on iWeb

I know others have addressed this issue but I am having multiple issues uploading to iWeb.
I am trying to publish an entire site, and I get random errors at random times. Some times the errors are "Check the internet connection", sometimes the errors are "The mobile me service is unavailable", sometimes it give me file blahblahblah.jpg cannot be accessed.
I have formatted and reinstalled OSX, and still no help. I have followed someone else suggestion on here to delete the preference files and still no luck.
Any help? I am about to dump mobile me for another hosting If this does not get fixed soonish.
Thanks.

I would think that it is a MobileMe issue - there have been issues recently with MMe where Blog comments don't work and lots have been posted recently on this topic.
If I were you I would change to an external host - there is a lot more you can do and they tend to be more reliable.

Cannot publish site changes since upgrading to 10.7. Suggestions?

I cannot publish site changes since upgrading to 10.7. Suggestions?

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
Or you can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain. Run it to open your site and see if you can publish. If that doesn't help 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 try again.

Restore published site to IWeb

I cannot seem to use Time Machine to restore my website to IWeb. One day the site disappeared and a very old version appeared instead. I have not published the newly appeared site.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you can't find the domain.sites file or have a backup copy of it that contains your current published site then you'll have to start over from scratch. However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing image, audio and/or video files in the published site in the reconstruction of the site.

Constant error message when trying to publish sites in iWeb 2.0.1

Dear All,
I have a few sites in iWeb (mostly from iWeb 1) and after upgrading to iWeb 2, finding my old sites again and installing the update I decided to build a new site. On completion and trying to publish I get:
Publish Error: An unknown error occurred.
I've tried "publishing all" instead but no change. No problems with iDisk, Firewalls, .Mac etc, however it won't publish to a folder either so it must be the program. Any ideas? Apparently the 2.0.1 update was supposed to fix this, but obviously not.
Alex

Alex,
If it won't publish to a folder then there is an element/file in the site that iWeb 2.0.1 is choking on. Normally, even when iWeb produces a publish error during upload to .Mac, it will still write the html locally, to a folder.
Check to see if you have some unusual file extensions on pics or movies.
You can test the worthiness of your iWeb app by making a simple page with a blank Domain.sites file and seeing if you can publish it to a folder.

Cannot Publish Site

I am having trouble with publishing my site on iweb. I press the publish button (I have even gone to the menu bar and clicked on publish to .mac) and it takes me to a log in window. After I log in with my password, it says my password is valid and then nothing happens. If I press publish again, it makes me sign in again. Is there something I am not doing correctly to publish my site??? It seems, everything I read, I should just be able to publish the site and log in and viola! But I am getting a whole lot of nothing. PLEASE HELP! Thanks!
~Erika

This happened to me some time ago, i have no clue why it did, but i solved the problem by using the airport function and logging on to someone elses network if you have one available. I know your not supposed to do it, but i only did it once to publish my site and now it works again on my own network...As for the reason it worked...dont ask me! I hope it works for you.
Good luck

Cant Publish site through IWEB 09 FTP server in my computer

Hi everyone, I have trouble publishing my site in FTP server in my computer. Each time I tried, its saying my password is not correct.I have Macbook pro 10.5.6 intel. I tried publishing my site through another computer and it did!. I dont know whats wrong with my computer. I have Protec Mac antivirus installed. do I have to remove it? I have tried to disable its scan and still not successful. I have my own domain and purchased a 3rd party hosting service.
Help!

OT,
thanks for the reply. yes I can publish it using local folder. But the web site address in browser is sooooo long and starts with file://user/admin/folder/name of my folder/name of my domain name/page name in my web site. Not a good business image and looks so unprofessional I have specifically purchased a domain name and I would prefer it would show up when a client type my web address.
What I dont understand is that It has published from my husbands computer. Isnt the reason why we buy software and install in our computer is for us to be able to use it whenever we want to? (of course with compliance to rules and regulations) I have Ilife 09 and cant use the IWEB. I know that something is causing this "behaviour" in my computer because I am able to upload my site from another computer. I have to borrow my husband's computer everytime I need to update my small business web site.
can anyone suggest something I can do to resolve this issue?
would really appreciate it a lot!
thanks.

Published site w/ iWeb but next time opening iWeb no content was there

I recently published updates to my site but the next time I opened iWeb there was no content & I was asked which templet I wanted to use - as if I was opening for the first time. Is there any way to reload the content into iWeb - if so how? Thanks in advance for any time & effort in helping me.
Guy

Guy ~ Assuming you haven't inadvertently logged in to a different User Account, try this... Via Spotlight's magnifying glass icon at upper right of your screen, search for iWeb's Domain file(s) by entering this:
.site
...and see what shows up in the drop-down list of hits. Note that any files which may be iWeb's Domain file won't be displayed as filename.site — rather they'll be displayed simply as filename, where filename could be anything you've perhaps renamed the original Domain file to be.

If you can't find it, be aware that only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.
Paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

Cannot Publish Site anymore!!

I am trying to update my page and now it is just stuck. I cannot save or Publish. It just gives me a loud" Bleep" sound. I though there was some text box open to tell me something but nothing. Now I am going to have to force quit and loose all of my changes. I have noticed ever since this iCloud stuff has started the problems have been getting worse!!
Not good Apple!! There is no support for Mobile me anymore either.

what language is that?

Publishing site to iweb not displaying correctly

I recently updated a site and republished but some of the old stuff sticks around in Safari, (specifically an old text box). The new text box appears and its links work in Firefox? In addition, some of my text on other pages that is spaced correctly in iweb is off in both browsers. Anyone know what gives?

I have an iWeb site and I view it from a PC running Firefox. I have the same problem in Firefox of not seeing the current version of the site unless I clear my cache.
This is a stupid step to have to take EVERY TIME I update my site. Furthermore, how can I expect other people to clear their cache before visiting my site?
There must be a better way.

Can't publish iCal in iWeb after updating.

I recently updated to the new iCal but now I am unable to publish my calendar to my web site through iWeb? Help me please.

If the files are in your sites folder, then iWeb will never be able to open them because they contain your published site. iWeb has no import facility so is unable to open html pages - a previously published site.
You need the data storage file called domain.sites to be able to access your site again. This can be found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Find this file and double click it and iWeb will open it.
Note that you need to look in your User Library and not your System Library, as you won't find iWeb there.

Published a site in iweb but looks different in the web browser

Hi,
I have published a site in iWeb but it looks different when viewed in the web browser having published a few times.
The pictures have small frames around which display perfectly i niweb but do not show in browser?
The navigation menu is all showing in iweb but again not showing in the web browser?
Not sure what I am doing wrong? I have tried to publish a few times.. checked that all the tick boxes show 'display navigation menu' etc?
Thanks
Toni

Since you do not provide real varifiable, factual information I searched for :
http://www.google.com/search?q=toni+darcy%27s+Products
Is this you?
http://www.tonidarcy.co.uk/toni_darcy_photographer/toni_darcy._photographer._wel come..html
I noticed on the Pricing page that I cannot click the Gallery link. Something covering it?
Other pages have similar behaviour.
And there's no link for the home page. Perhaps you're hiding it.
And see if you can use a shorter, and different, Sitename. It is clear who you are. And just welcome is enough.
And empty the browser cache.

Cannot publish on Iweb

I have read several posts on this topic, yet none seem to apply to the basic issue of publishing a site.
Although I have opened an account with mobileme, I cannot publish my site through Iweb. Even though I have previously logged into mobile me, when trying to login to publish, it is continually rejected. It is also unbelievably frustrating not be able to reach anyone for help through mobileme.
Thanks for any assistance

Welcome to the discussions. It may be easier to pinpoint the problem if you give a bit more detail about how you are logging in and what the rejection message says. Here's Apple's video tutorial on publishing to MobileMe:

Are you referring to MobileMe live chat support? ...It's now 24/7 — see this announcement. And this was in another thread:
Just got off of a MobileMe chat regarding this. The technician had me go into System Preferences and log in as "apple" with a password of "test." Once I got the invalid account notification, I logged back on with my user name and password. That seems to have cleared the issue.

Cannot publishing my site

I created for the first time my site. trying to publish it, clicking on "publish", I get the massage: "Couldn’t reach the MobileMe configuration server. Try publishing again later". publishing my site to a folder on my mac was successful. apple online help service couldn't help me. I also disabled my account and logged in again, it doesn't help. Can someone tell me what to do?
thank for helping me

I can't find the folder where the created web pages are stored, to put my site files from the backup disk, after I loosed them, trying to reinstall iweb software.
Your published site files are here:
http://www.me.com/idisk
...Log in and click on the Web folder and then on the Sites folder. But be aware that the published folders cannot be imported back into iWeb — the only file iWeb can open is its Domain file. See this Apple doc: _iWeb ’08: Backing up your Domain file_.

When will iWeb allow editing of published sites?

I use iWeb with several colleagues and clients. I understand it is not meant for a lot of business or organizational use, but believe me, it is being used that way an awful lot for iWeb's great graphic templates, ease of manipulation with groups present, etc.
Its one drawback is that it cannot be used collaboratively. Only one person can do any editing, and so anytime that a single period must be added, the original author must do the editing, even if others have write access to the web file space. This makes for really clunky operation in the team-oriented web environment of all but the most personal of websites.
I realize that iWeb generates a bunch of files when a site is published, but we need a way to have iWeb read the published fileset and reconstruct the pre-published site so that it can be edited and re-published by someone other than the original author.
I know the iWeb team, like all Apple teams, can handle this technical challenge. And I know that Apple, wanting to create the user experience where things "just work" the way users expect, will agree that users have come to expect files that can be edited by other users using the same product.
So this feature should be a top priority for iWeb 3. I'm sure others would agree.

You are just talking to other users here. To tell Apple something, use this link:
