Devastating Mobile me 'pop up' preventing me publishing on iWeb

I've been successfully working and publishing on my iWeb website for months but today found the Mobile me Pop up (that been discussed in other posts) is preventing me from publishing my site. The difference between me and the previous post is that I have an account with Mobile me. I am a total beginner in website building but this has totally arrested development. I'd really appreciate any advice. Yours hopefully....

If you're getting a popup asking you to join MMe try the following;
1 - go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
2 - login with a bogus username and password like "test" and "test". This clears the caches.
3 - login with your correct username and password.
4 - launch iWeb and try again.

Problems publishing my iweb to mobile me

HI, I apologise if anyone has answered this question before but I have not found a result which works for my problem. I have created a website via iweb. It seems to publish fine but when i go to my site after it publishes it, safari can not find my site. I am unable to click on the view site button (only directly after the upload when it asks me). For some reason, my site is not active?? I am logged into mobile me and using a trial account. I have an active gallery on mobile me but my site wont publish. It is frustrating me and I am not receiving a response from apple. Please please please can someone help me as I want to use iweb instead of other blog sites. Perhaps I should buy another domain? Would this work? Thank you

No, its not strange at all. When you set up a MobileMe account and publish a site from iWeb it publishes to your iDisk, which is your Apple server that host your site.
Your url for an iWeb published site to MobileMe will be http://web.me.com/username/sitename. You don't actually need the sitename if you only have one site, so as OT has said http://web.me.com/username.
No - reggie88.com is not your username, this is a domain name. www.reggie88.com is a domain name also, not a MobileMe username. Have you actually gone to a domain name registrar and registered a domain name? If you want to use a domain name with MobileMe, then you need to go and purchase one first from a domain name registrar.
No - iWeb does not tell you in iWeb that you username is www.reggie.com. The only way that iWeb will have this at the bottom, is if you have logged into your MobileMe account and gone to the Personal Domain name settings section and entered a personal domain into here. Log into your MobileMe account and check whether you have done this - this is the only reason why iWeb will display this.
Next question, do you actually own or have you purchased a domain name - reggie88.com? If you have, then you can use this domain with a MobileMe account, but there are other steps that you need to go through first to link the two.
In the meantime, find your site by entering the url http://web.me.com/username which in your case is probably going to be http://web.me.com/reggie88 and you should get to your site.

My Safari browser is not working well. Junk pages keep poping in and key pages for me appear intoxicated by alien pop ups preventing me navigate that page. Updated last Safari version and problem prevailed. Tried downloading Safari for Mac OS X Mavericks.

My Safari browser is not working well. Junk pages keep popping up and key pages, for me, appear intoxicated by alien pop ups preventing me navigate that page.
I updated to latest Safari version (7.0.4) but the problem persists.
I tried downloading a new version of Safari for Mac OS X Mavericks but couldn't find it available.
Thanks for your help.

The pop ups are malware. It's not necessary to reinstall Safari.

HELP! I can't publish my Iweb to Mobile Me

Hey Everyone! I am currently in Nigeria and the internet is sketchy at best. It is very slow but does have a continuous signal. I've tried five times to publish my iweb and I keep getting the signal that it couldn't connect to Mobile Me. This is after 3 hours of attempting to publish. I've already published before when I was in the States and I just wrote a new posting on the blog that I want to upload. Is there a faster way to upload/publish since I only made one small change rather than publishing everything again. I didn't choose Publish All to Mobile Me... I just picked Publish. Does anyone know what to do?? Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. This fix for another MobileMe issue might help you:

After waiting a day for the rolling restore to happen, I called AppleCare because Apple had sent an email saying my service was back, and it wasn't. I still could send and not receive using Mail.
Here is what fixed it. Go to MobileMe (terrible name) in System Preferences, log out. Then enter a garbage name and password and try to log in. *This apparently clears the MobileMe preferences*. Then enter your real UserName and PassWord. For me this was lights on.
I am left wondering how long ago I could have had email had I known this preference reset scheme.

I can't publish to iWeb, it doesn't seem to be able to login to my icloud account. any ideas?

I've been trying to publish a site on iweb. It seems that iweb is unable to sign in to my icloud account. I push the publish to mobile me tab, push the sign into your account tab,( already a member). I get the barbers pole for 30 seconds or so, and then, nothing happens. Any ideas anyone?

MobileMe closed in July last year.
iCloud does not offer webhosting.
You have to find a webhost.
It's been discussed for the past 2 years in this forum, the MMe forum and all over the planet.
Browse this forum.
In short :
Find a webhoster.
And since you use iWeb 08, publish to a folder and use an FTP app to put the files on the server.
Oh, and look to the right. I see these topics :

Can I publish my iWeb 2.0.4 site?

Can I publish my iWeb 2.0.4 site? I designed it, hit "publish" and it went to now-defunct Mobile Me...

I do believe you can publish your website to a folder.
I think (it's been a while since I have used the older version) in the File menu you should have an option to publish site to a folder.
Then you will need to use an FTP application like Cyberduck to upload files to your web host.

I changed web hosts and can't publish through iWeb SEO Tool or Rage Site Map Automator. Do I need to delete the old site map?

I switched to iPage hosting since Mobile Me is expiring. Also recently upgraded to OS X 10.7.3 and am using iWeb 3.0.4 for my web site design. I published directly to the FTP from iWeb but all title tags, meta tags have disappeared and I'm not showing up in Google or others. I tried publishing from iWeb SEO but it couldn't complete the process.
Should I first publish to a folder as I did before with Mobile Me, then delete all old sitemaps and start over with the Site Map Automator and then try to publish from the SEO tool? Will I lose the key words and meta tags that are already in iWeb SEO?
Thanks!

The problem is that most tech support people don't understand how iWeb structures a site.
When a visitor types in "domain-name-com" the browser expects to find an index.html in the root folder on the server. In "normal" websites the index.html file is the first page of the site.
The iWeb index.html file is a redirect to the first, or landing, page of the site which is the one at the top of the left column in iWeb just below the site name.
iWeb produces two index.html files.
One is outside of the folder containing the rest of the files and directs to - folder-name/home-page-name.html
The other one is inside the folder and directs to - home-page-name.html
You have two choices of how you upload the files since you are publishing to a local folder.
You can upload the whole folder plus the external index.html to the root folder on the server and the URL to any page will be...
http://www.domain-name.com/site-name/page-name.html
If you upload the contents of the site folder, and not the folder or the external index.html, the URL will be...
http://www.domain-name.com/page-name.html

Can i publish an iWeb website to any host?

I want to use iWeb to build a website but i don't use mobile me.
I have a domain name with 1&1 and I have all the relevant ftp information but i can't see how you can publish a site made in iWeb unless it's through mobile me.
So does anyone know how I can get a site i've just made onto the internet without using mobile me? my web hosters are 1and1.
many thanks
Joe

Joe:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes you can publish an iWeb site to any host server. It involves publishing to a folder on the Desktop (or anywhere you want it to reside on the HD) and then uploading the contents of that folder, a site folder and an index.html file, to your server using an ftp client like the free Cyberduck.
Enter the ftp information into Cyberduck and upload.

Help! Can't publish to iWeb

Tried to publish on iWeb (after not using for over a year) and a box pops up saying "Enter the password for "c368387" on "web1439.hostexcellence.com." Anyone know what this means and how to fix?? Thank you

Assuming you have a webhosting account at hostexcellence and assuming your username is c368387 it probably means that you have to enter a password for that particular user.
If you have forgotten what the password is, contact hostexcellence and find out what it is.

I can not publish my iweb site to moblie me

I had originally written and published a site with no problems.
However since then I tried to publish my changes and the iweb would show up as "not responding"
I tried other avenues to change my site which at first worked then failed so I deleted the site amd tried to start over thinking that may solve the issue.
It still will not publish merely stops reponding
Just to clarify - I found that I was able to make changes by publishing the iweb to a folder and then uploading the altered files to mobile me. This worked fine to start with but then I added some hyperlinks then uploaded the replacement html pages again - this caused the whole layout to change. This is the reason why I basically deleted the site.
I can still not publish my site now - same problem when I click the publish or publish all it freezes!

Hello Frank,
The good thing of all your efforts is that you could determine the problem to iWeb.

... come on apple get it together!
Well, there are at least 2 more well known issues that you didn't verify yet, at least I didn't see it in your post.
i get a portion of the files published only.
This is a clue to these 2 issues: a wrong filename or a problematic widget.
Go back in history to the point where you had your last successful 'Publish'
Have a good look at the filenames of the pages you created since then.
Is a very big chance there is a "wrong" character in the name or 2 spaces..
With a little bit of luck, when you do a Publish, you can see iWeb hanging on the name
of the problematic page (not always).
If it isn't the filename, try selectively remove widgets and do a Publish.
The moment Publish works, you've found the villain.
As this tip involves deleting things, make a backup of your domain file first.
Let me know if these tips don't apply to your situation.
I still have one radical solution at hand.
Kind regards,

Cannot publish from iWeb 08 after upgrading to Leopard

When I click on Publish from iWeb I first get a window .Mac Information asking me to login and a smaller window saying "logging in to iWeb". I click on sign in button from .Mac Information window and then get the System Preferences window telling me I am signed in and giving me my account status. From here nothing happens. The "logging into iWeb" message stays and nothing happens.
What should I do?

Thanks and Merry Christmas to you too! I have experienced both modem/network problems and was unable to publish in Tahiti and Cook Islands because of that and now these problems which have nothing to do with network it seems - so yours may or may not be network related. I was able to cheat and copied my "Site" folder from my hard drive to my iDisk rather then publishing. I can't remember if you've tried this or not (read a lot of strings today) but you can publish to a folder and then copy that folder to your iDisk at /Web/Sites/iWeb/Site as "Site" after first renaming the one that is out there now. Let me know if you have any questions on how to do it. It sounds like you are traveling like we are and anxious to communicate with friends and family back home. When you are bored, our site is web.mac.com/baganworldtour.
At least we now have our first update out there in two weeks. But it took almost two hours to copy the folder and this won't work forever. Hopefully we, whether by the discussion room or .mac support next week, will be able to fix the problem for real.
Thanks. Good Luck. Merry Christmas

Do not have privileges to save and publish on iWeb :(

I am a newer employee at my company and we publish podcasts. Unfortunately, my iMac account can not publish to iWeb. Here are the messages I recieve when I try to publish... first:
SAVE FAILED
You do not have permission to make changes to that file
Then it says:
PUBLISH ERROR:
An Error occured while publishing "The File name"
What is the problem? I also cannot save the uploaded podcast either. I have talked to the Mac people and they are stumped... they tell me I have to remove and reinstall Mac OSX, wiping out my hardrive in process.
I was able to post podcasts on the previous employee's account on this computer, but I had to clear out all of the old podcasts (thanks to a tech support mistake) to do so, and I am fearful of having that happening again. Thanks

Have you set the .Mac preferences in your System preferences to the other account and the correct password?

Cannot publish from iweb to iweb website

Had to format hard drive and re-install OS. Suspect domain file is gone? I can see my website on .mac - but it does not show on iweb. when i publish from iweb, it tells me it's been published, but no changes on .mac - any ideas? help!

I have the same problem. I tried your advice but still cannot get iweb to publish. Before I had my computer serviced it worked fine and publishing took place automatically.

How do I fix an error "4652747.png" when publishing my iWeb site to iMac?

Every time I try to publish my iWeb site to .Mac I get an error message that says there's an error in " ...files/ca4652747.png." I know this is an image file, but when i search for it on my hard drive it shows a blank image. I've tried deleting the file from the hard drive but when I re-publish, a second file "c00ff001c.png" on a different web page shows the same error. I can't figure out how to fix these errors. It publishes to a folder, or so it says, but i don't know how to check that. I am supposed to publish the entire site at the end of this week and have all the work done but can't get past this point. Can anyone help me? I'm a new mac user and this is my first shot at web design, so I've probably missed something obvious, but would appreciate any help.

k, try this:
backup your domain file! delete the one in the folder BUT HAVE A COPY OF IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. Then open iWeb, create something save it and publish it!
now go to your backuped file,make one more backup!!!!
move one of the backuped files into the Users/username/bblablabla folder and open iWeb. try publish all and see if it works!

How do I remove old web site when publishing new site with same URL in iweb? Hit replace when publishing new iweb site (so we could have control over changes) but new site name is attached to old via a / after our www address we want to keep.

I hit the replace when publishing the new iweb site (so we could have control over changes - last one was not an apple based site) but new site name is attached to old via a forward slash and underscore after our www address. Makes it very messy with a very long web address. Original address now followed by iweb site name followed by name of first page? Went for iweb as not that computer literate - all going so well?! Cheers for help in anticipation. Have to get off to work now but be great end to week if we could be sorted tonight. Rupes

Well yes of course, if you try and publish through iWeb there won't be an option to publish without your site folder which is exactly why I told you to download Cyberduck and use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server having published your site from iWeb to a local folder. That is what you need to do if you don't want your site name to be included in yoru url.
It would have been easier also if you had used Cyberduck initially to connect to your server and delete your old site yourself - at least that way you would have deleted the correct files rather than relying on your hosting service to do it and doing it incorrectly.
Download Cyberduck and then select the publish to a local folder option from iWeb and then use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server, but rather than uploading the whole site folder and separate index file, upload ONLY the contents of your site folder and then your url will be http://www.domain.com/page_name.html.
It really isn't rocket science!
