Did iWeb '08 mess with my site?
I upgraded to iLife '08. Then I opened iWeb, and noticed that ALL my previous site and page icons were red, indicating unpublished changes. The problem is, I didn't change anything. I installed the new update, too. Everything is still red.
What's up?
While I can't tell you what happened to you exactly, I can say that I had a strange experience with the new version of iweb. When I updated to ilife '08, my website vanished. It acted as though I had never made a website at all. I searched around for it, and I couldn't find it. sadly, I went about making a new one. After a couple days, the update came out. I updated, and my old site came back and the new one was gone... I really don't know what to say about that.
I will say that there is a difference in the way it handles some of the objects and that could very well cause you to update your site on iweb. It should not affect most of your site, except for perhaps your slideshow.

Did my kids mess with my mail? Its missing!
Found my darling 2 & 3yo's sitting at my MAC and now I can't access any mail already downloaded to my mailboxes.
I just have the email info header & the message contains, "The message from Apple <[email protected]> concerning “Introducing the all-new MacBook and MacBook Pro.” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
What could have my kids done? How do I fix?
Any help would be appreciated. I have a stack of work emails I need to get stuck into tonight.
KateGo to Mail menu Mailbox>Online Status and if any accounts are offline, change them to online (i.e. if it says 'Take [account name] online' then select this to do so). (If your account is IMAP then you have to be online to read the messages).
And never, never, never allow small children to sit in front of an unsecured computer! It's a recipe for a lot worse then getting a mail account taken offline. -
I had a drive failure and lost the iWeb file along with other things.
I did manage to save a lot of user file documents but I don't see or
recognize the iWeb site file. It was on a 15" G4 Titanium pb.
I'm trying to find a way, using version 2.0.4 of iWeb on a different
pb to recover the file into the iWeb app or a way to download the site into iWeb.
There are 6 pages of images and text, and it
would be a task for me to recreate the whole thing again. I did
download the site but I don't know how or if I can get iWeb to see it and open it.
Does anyone have any knowledge about this? The link to my site:

Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

[email protected]Unfortunately iWeb cannot read or import previously published files, only generate them. You'll have to recreate your site from scratch.
However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site.

Not exactly iweb - need help with a graphic for my site
This doesn't fit anywhere so dumping it here. I drew by hand a graphic I want to use with iweb to put on my site as my site's logo. Main problem is that getting the background transparent isn't working well as when it was scanned the scanner didn't back the background "pure" white. I have tried adjusting the whitepoint and setting the color depth down, but still no good. I don't know a ton about graphic program use. I have an older copy of graphic converter that came on this powerbook when i got it. I would be fine having the graphic loose the marker look and have solid fill colors - just I am not good enough with computer drawing tools to do it on the computer! So I either need to get a volunteer to help me out, or some help with some detailed instructions to get this to work out... (also I am broke so no cost/shareware is only option here)
many thanks!!!!
I can get you a scanned jpg of the pic if needed.THANK YOU/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png so the tolerance makes it not care so much about the gradations in color? what else is tolerence good for?
I have a cleaner copy now after someone suggested GIMP, so played with it last night - though couldn't figure out transparency - that was clear on converter- just not cooperative till these wonderful directions.
So now I know how to do it without messing with the pic, and with messing with it - both good lessons and got a bit brighter color out of the deal.
many thanks for the straightforward and clear directions, they worked perfectly/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png extra strars for you/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png -
How do I delete sites created with iWeb and posted with .mac after a format
I am confused about how to delete a couple of sites that I created with iWeb and posted with my .mac after I did a format reload?
I have tried everything. The original files are not on my MacBook Pro because of the format.
I also see them in my idisc, but I is my understanding that on my MacBook Pro that I can delete the files, but they are hosted online. On the online idisk I cannot delete them because there is no option. Please help!!!Using the file menu in Finder:
Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/YourSitesAreHere
Highlight selected files and Command/Delete. You will receive a drop down asking you if you are sure; click OK and the files/sites will be deleted immediately from the iDisk.

I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself (and the animation doesn't work) if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area (indicated by a blue rectangle). I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest of my site is pushed down the page. Don't know what to do about this. I don't know how to bring the rest of the page up without dragging it also into the designated nav bar area. Also, by doing this, is it affecting my site in ant way? see my site here at www.steveburrowsimages.com
The home page is with it all draged into the nav bar area and the about page is with is outside the nav bar area (notice that the top button does not animate or work as a button.
Getting confused here. Anyone got any ideas?Well, you made a good start with SEO by getting rid of the iWeb default navigation since it doesn't help the spiders and, out there in the real world, there are more people than you would think with javascript turned off in their browsers.
One of the downsides of iWeb is that it doesn't allow for the alt attribute in the img tag. Its well worth adding these to give you extra keywords even if you have captioned all your images. Use iWeb SEO Tool for this...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Tags.html
iWeb, just like most drag and drop software, creates a huge amount of code which causes the pages to load slowly in the browser. Running you files through an optimizer will help to reduce this problem and further reduce the size of image files even beyond the initial optimization you do before loading them into iWeb...

I wanted to create a photo album on dreamweaver with the same style as the ones in iWeb, does anyone know a site to do this or a way to transfer the album to dreamweaver?
Excellent suggestion! I regularly post in those forums too, so I thought I might offer help here, but http://forums.adobe.com/community/dreamweaver?view=discussions would be the best place for a Dreamweaver question.

Well, you're timing is perfect then Are you eligible for any upgrade pricing from your service provider?
I skipped over the iPhone 4s, and I am eligible for full upgrade pricing in almost exactly one month from yesterday, so I will be moving to an iPhone 5 next month. -
while messing with my two step verification on my gmail account I inadvertently did sometime to my gmail account on my Mac mail. I can't send or receive mail. Any thoughts
When it asks for the password, typically this is a random number sent to you via text message from Google. I get a new code everytime I want to add a new device or log into from a new computer. It can get very annoyingif you access your account from various computers or devices. Once its working its not bad though. You may want to go back in and turn the 2 step authentication off.

DId I really mess something up with my preferences folder?
A few days ago I was having trouble with my computer and read somewhere to try and move the preferences folder (user/library/preferences) to my desktop. Well, I did this, but then before doing anything else quickly UNDID (using the undo function) this move, as I wasn't sure this was the best thing to do.
My question is, did I possibly mess up my computer moving the preference folder to the desktop like I did? AND, even if the undo function didn't actually "undo" anything? Please let me know. Thanks!You can move that folder to the Desktop for troubleshooting. Moving it back should put everything back to normal.

Two Sites Published With iWeb...Viewers Get Error Message With Second Site
I have used iWeb to create two web sites. I believe I have done so properly, using File>New Site to begin creating the second site. After publishing, I can visit both sites from within iWeb.
Curiously, the message panel that displays after successful publishing indicates the same URL for both web sites. Obviously, that's wrong. That address will open the first site properly (after automatically adding additional characters to the URL during opening), but is incorrect for the second site. As an alternative, I have visited both sites from within iWeb, and copied the URL from the browser window as the "proper" address.
When I use the copied URL's in my own browser, I can navigate to each of the websites properly. However, when I give those URL's to someone else, they get an error message that the second site cannot be found using the URL for the second site that I obtained using the "copying" technique described. That's the case even though both URL's work properly from my computer and browser.
Any suggestions as to what might be wrong?

Creating Iweb seperate domains for multiple sites DIDNT WORK
Hi! Any help would be much appreicaited!
I am creating mutiple websites in iWeb 09'. All 3 of my websites have been stored under 1 domain file on my mac. I have read numerous discussion boards stating the steps of how to seperate each of the created sites from the one domain file, into mutiple domain files. I followed the steps on this website :
http://lmsdiweb.wikispaces.com/Saving+Locally
I moved the Domain folder out of its original location into a new folder on my harddrive entitled "Sites". Then i made sub folders within that folder and duplicated the domain 3 times and placed each copy in those folders. then i double clicked on the domain for my 1st site, opened iWeb, and then deleted the other sites i did not want on this new "domain" file i created and hit saved. This is exactly what the website said to do to create the seperate domain files for each seperate site. It then said repeat for each site, deleting the sites that are not needed on that domain.
All of that being said, it didnt seem to work when i tried to open the 2nd copy of the domain. When iWeb opened after double clicking the 2nd domain copy, it did not open and show me all 3 sites as it should have, it opened to show me the one site that i just "saved" after deleting the other sites for the previous domain i was trying to create.
I'm afraid i posisbly lost my other 2 sites. I backed up my first initial "domain" file which had all 3 sites within it on my external hard drive, and when i double clicked on that to make sure my sites weren't lost forever, same thing happened and only my lastest site that i saved on the 1st attempt to seperate domain files is visable on my iWeb.
Did i loose everything i created in my other 2 sites? How do i get them back? What did i do wrong? Any help is much appreiciated as i have a feeling i might have made a serious mistake and need some help figuring this all out!
Thank you!
Also, I published all of my sites "to a folder" on my hard drive before doing this as well. Is there any way to take the published folder contents and put my site back on iweb for editing again?With three sites in a domain file here's how I would do it. Create 3 copies of your domain file and name them for the three website, i.e "website1.sites, website 2.sites, etc.
With the application discussed in the text below open website1.sites and delete website 2 and website 3 from it and save. Open website 2.sites and delete 1 and 3. Do the same for website 3.sites.
Then use the application mentioned below to open iWeb and select the website you want.
In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/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.
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion 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.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that 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.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
NOTE: iWeb 2 is not compatible with Mt. Lion and has trouble saving to the hard drive. It's suggested you obtain iWeb 3

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
