Cant view site on pc

I've made a fairly simple site in IWeb and published it to .Mac, i can view my site fine using safari on my mac yet when i use firefox or Internet Explorer on any of my PC's i just get an error message saying that that homepage doesn't exist, is IWeb not compatible with other browsers? or is there an option to allow my PC's to load the page?

"I had this same problem with the PC at my workplace. The PCs only had QT6.5 installed and there was no way for me to update to QT7.
The problem was with the encoding of the movie using H.264 which QT6.5 cannot decode. Your best bet for compatibility is probably to encode video with MP4 instead of H.264. The downside is that MPEG-4 video encoding isn't as clear quality and the resulting file is larger as well."
I completely understand. Here's the thing, though. The requirements for getting a plain old MP4 video podcast to play on an iPod are kind of tricky to navigate. It is much easier to use the Export for iPod function, which puts out an .m4v file, and makes heavy use of the H.264 codec. This is why you are likely to run into more and more PC compatability issues, unfortunate as that is.
Obviously, if all I was interested in was having people come to me to get the movie (vs having it delivered via subscription), it would be a whole other matter. I would use the most universal format available, such as the vanilla MP4, and if someone wanted to play it on an iPod, they could convert it themselves. I would, if it were practical, have two versions up, one vanilla MP4, and one .m4v, but time (to encode and upload two files), and space (server space, bandwidth issues) are both issues for me, so I choose to go with the one that is easiest for me (at least for now).
I know an individual license of QT 7 Pro is pretty reasonable, considering all the advanced encoding options (especially compared to Windows Media), but I assume your company would license it across multiple machines. Is that very expensive, do you know?
Good luck,
Eric

  • Help! people cant view site

    Hi, I made a site using iWeb a couple months ago and everything was fine. Last week I updated the site and announced it to a bunch of friends and about 80% could not get in or view the site. Most are on a pc, but some still were able to view it ok even on a pc. I made sure to let everyone know to capatilize the "W" in iWeb, and even told them to just copy and past the address or use our link. The email was sent using aol, not sure if that makes a difference. Please help, we use the site to update baby and family pics and now most of our friends cant view it. The site is web.mac.com/baariandolivia. username is pauls and password is macomb, no caps in either. Thanks for any help

    I was able to view it after entering user/password.
    You mentioned you emphasized "W" for iWeb, maybe it's just the url you sent.
    I suggest you send them the exact url you noted here and just for the sake of it include the http://xxxxxxx
    Now I know there may be some technicality with sending urls in some instances to PC's but if the simply copy paste they should be fine.
    While I'm at it, you may want to suggest all your PC friend download firefox and use that instead of IE.

  • Cant view site that was uploaded via muse ftp

    Hi Guys
    Just finding my feet with muse and stumbled on a few problems that I hope you can help with.
    I have created a test site and uploaded it using the build in muse ftp client. The files are all uploaded but I cannot view them. Site: http://www.sdfencing.co.uk/test/index.html
    Also I have used the muse content form, when uploaded it tells me that it cannot find the php file and php is required. Php is enabled on my server and i assumed that all form files where created via the muse contact form?
    Please help as my first impressions on Muse are good and I want to get to grips with this issue so that Iam not put off .
    John

    All sorted guys. but need to fix the form issue.
    My host requires us to use smtp authentication to stop spam from the servers. Heres an example of code required Script Mail - Sending email via PHP - Powered by Kayako Help Desk Software
    I have no idea how to use this info/ script with the muse form. can anyone help?

  • I cant view my site in safari... hmmmmm

    i forwarded my own domain to mask the url for my mac.web.com.yadda yadda yadda.
    i forwarded the frame to web.mac.com/myusername
    it took hours and it is finally working though my domain co said they didnt think it would. anyways.. it loads great on firefox but i cant view it on safari.
    i type in the web address and the screen is blank. if i click on the screen my site appears. and the same for each page.. you click and it goes blank. and then you click on the blank screen and up pops the site.
    and it doesnt work in internet explorer. images have x's and just aren't there.
    i have emptied the cache, quite safari. checked the url forwarding.. it seems odd that it works in firefox but not safari.
    any help?
    anyone?

    jodyfinver.com
    frame redirect from web.mac.com/writecause
    also tried web.mac.com/writecause/iweb
    and web.mac.com/writecause/iweb/jodyfinver
    bought domain with 1and1 and can't transfer to godaddy for a month. 1and1 says they can't frame redidrect with a backslash. it's odd it works on firefox. you need to click a blank page in safari and in ie for mac the words at the bottom om the home page come in broken, as do images throughout.
    i am on phone with apple and the guy saw the page then it disappeared. he had me reset my safari which made me lose my igoogle home page preferences and didn't resolve the problem.
    then he said it looks like you can't do what you are looking to do. I said yes you can. In fact Apple tells people they can do this when they are selling the software. He is researching it.

    Why I cant view my picture on my iphoto and if I try to copy to any folder it Shows "The item on the clipboard cant be pasted to this location. (One or more of the item may have been deleted or are no longer available) "

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. Describe the problem as fully as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Offline Instantiation of a Materialized View Site Using Export/Import

    Has anyone had any success performing offline instantiation of a materialized view site using export/import in Oracle9?

    This is what I wanted to ask in the forum. I want to use datapump for the initial instantiation because I believe that indexes (the actual indextables, not just the definition) are also replicated using datapump.
    So, is it possible to do the instantiation using datapump?

    Phonebooth is in your home folder under pictures with Iphoto and Ichat. Deleting pigtures from phonebooth should not remove any from Iphoto library. Something else had to happen.

  • I cant view my photos.

    i cant view my photos. i can see them on small thumnails but i cannot click to view. it shows an exclamation mark????

    What version of the OS and of iPhoto '08? What has changed since it worked? where is your iPhoto library located? If on an external disk what format is it (hint it must be Mac OS extended (journaled)  ). Have you "cleaned up your Mac using any software - like CleanMyMac2 or MacKeeper or others (Hint - do not run clean up software - it is not needed and often causes major problems)
    If you have not cleaned up your Mac backup your iPhoto library and launch iPhoto while holding down the option and command keys until the first aid window appears - repair permissions and if needed repeat and rebuild your database

  • Cant view my photos?

    Why is it that I cant view my photos from my icloud account online? I remember being able to like a year ago. I have made a new apple id and wanted to see if my old photos were on my old apple id but I cant access them? what the heck?

    iPhoto has no cross platform capability
    To share your photos on a Windows PC (or any operating system) select them and export (file menu ==> export)  to a destop folder - see this user tip for export optipons - and then in the finder right click on that folder and burn to disk
