Caution:buying themes for iWeb in MAS can be a problem

A few weeks ago I bought Themes for iWeb, and it just didn't work. I asked for help from the developers, but then the changes totally destroyed iWeb and my site.
I now notice another themes for iweb on the Mac App Store and all the reviews say it not only doesn't work, it does the same thing for iweb in Lion. Read all the reviews and the warning from Apple to get a feel for problems that can arise.
I don't blame developers, other than for the fact they should have tested it out. I suspect that last update from Apple for iWeb made it functional in Lion, but without its code, no themes will be working.
Now, I love iWeb, but seeing the handwriting and all, am moving to another website creator. Considering how much trouble I had with the destruction of my site, I want to warn off people from buying any themes package that doesn't clearly say it has been tested in Lion.

I just reinstalled iweb and the updates. Actually, it may be a blessing as it will force me to redo the site and check every link. In the last year a few just don't work anymore.
I find that I can copy and paste pretty well from the site still on the web, and use the old video from YouTube.
Some stuff is gone, but all in all, it was an interesting lesson.
I got cocky because I knew the trick of making sure I duplicated and saved the domainsites file.
I know I had at least one sitesfile that was original and perfect, but didn't work.
Oh well.
I really do like iweb. Now I think I will not be the first to download software again.
In fairness, while the software didn't work, I did play around in the application support, iweb, themes section a lot more than I should have.

Anyone else buy "Themes for iWeb" in App Store?

Ok, I sent in my review a second time and this time it seems to have been published. I just cannot get the application to work, but the developer has emailed me and repeated the instructions. I followed them and it still doesn't work in Lion.
If anyone else bought this app from the Mac App Store, please post here, especially if you succeeded in getting it to work.
I have bought themes before off the web, and the download was easy. Just click on the installer pkg and it gets set up in iweb and the themes appear.
But the installation system for "Themes for iweb" is different.
I like a couple of them, so I hope I can get it to work. If I were really expert I could just relax and figure the developers need to fix things, but my level of understanding is such I still have to understand I possibly screwed up the process. Hope I can get it to work one way or the other.

Which is pretty much a reasonable assumption.And you do not neccessarily need a password for an in app purchase.

Yes, considering all of the traffic they get, it may take them a while. Have you tried using this: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

Which demonstrrates muchmore about your imaturity than anything about Apple. And BTW, it won't work.

What con? Even if it is an error on Apple's system, there's no indication of dishonesty (and I refer back to the first item).

What happens when you try to buy them ?
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes support then you can do so via this page and ask them why the message is appearing (these are user-to-user forums, we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
If it's a different problem ... ?

Themes for iWeb

The Apple App store has a colelection of iWeb Themes under the name "Themes for iWeb". They look nice but there are no customer reviews. Has someone here tried them? Thanks for any feedback!

I agree with Jeff wholeheartedly. If you start with either the White, Black, Modern Frame or Formal theme you can create a customized site to your choosing. The other themes use graphic files for some of the page designs which can't be removed or resized to fit your design requirements.
There was another user who was having problems with those themes from the App Store. Something happened and he couldn't find his previous sites. I can't find the exact topic but if I do I'll post a link to it here.

The page that you posted from has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset (these are user-to-user forums).
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

Developing themes for iWeb 08

hello,
I kind of gave up XHTML/CSS/PHP/JavaScript and Wordpress to get back to the bases with iWeb.
i'd be willing to help develop free/paid themes for iWeb 08 and I understand, from what I read that the process is different from iWeb 06 themes.
I digged into the core files but when showing the package content of a particular themes ( say "blog.webtemplate") I cannot find where the graphics are located.
Anyone has an idea?
Also is there a place that gathers iWeb 08 theme developers?
thanks

You will need to Purchase the iPad Version.
The Mac uses the OS X platform and the iPad uses the iOS platform.
They are not interchangeable

25 apps on my wife's phone need updating and now it "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" only when i try to update them for her. I can access the iTunes store for all other options but not to update. How can I get her updated?

Try quitting the App Store:
Tap the home button to get to the home screen. Then double tap the home button, and hold your finger over the App Store icon. Tap the red when it appears. Tap the home button again to return to the home screen.
Try resetting:
Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

If I buy "pages" for my daughter's iPad, can I download it to my iPad?

If your daughter is a child living in your household or an adult 23 and under away at college yes, you can share her content. If you are both adults with your own hoseholds, then the End User License Agreement does not allow that type of sharing of content.

Guestbook For iWeb?? Can you turn a Blog into one??

I need a guestbook on my website. I was wondering if there was a way to create one with iWeb? If not, is there a way to use the comment page from a blog for the guestbook? I tried it but I can't get a link in the Nav bar that goes to that one blog entry. Any ideas?

You can't add anything to inbuilt iweb nav bar - you'll have to make your own. Or add a blank page with the link to the site on it or put the link in an iframe.
<iframe src=
"http://sitename.com/"
style="width:750px; height:750px;
border-color:#990033;
border-style:solid;
border-width:1px"
scrolling="yes" >
</iframe>
You can alter the size of the frame and the colours to suit your site.

If I buy FCPX for my Mac Mini, can I install it on my Daughter Macbook Air?

FCPX multiple install

Family Sharing may apply, and if that is the case she can legally use FCP X under your license.
One user (you) sets up Family Sharing, and invites other family members. I don't know if it is required that your daughter lives with you or not.
I do know that Family Sharing allows up to six family members and that they can all legally use the purchases by the family organizer (you).

If I want to buy 10 - 20 shuffles for nieces and nephews for Christmas... can I load about 11 favorite family songs onto all of them from one of my playlists?

If I want to buy 10 - 20 Shuffles for family Christmas gifts and load a family play list on each can I do that without buying them for each shuffle?

You can, but these songs will need to be erased before they can sync with another iTunes library. iPods can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync it with another computer and iTunes library, it will erase what is currently on the iPod and replace it with what is in the new library.
A better route to go would be to buy them iTunes gift cards or something along those lines.
