Does iWeb blogging (comments, etc.) only work when published to .Mac?

The subject says it all, but I was wondering how well the blog features of iWeb work when publishing to a non-.Mac host.
Right now I use WordPress for my blog. Is iWeb's blog feature a reasonable alternative?

The iWeb features which are .Mac only are: Direct one-step uploading, Password protection, Hit counter, Slideshow with viewing controls, and Blog Comments/Searching.

Why does drop shadow on text only work when you rotate?

I can't get the drop shadow to work on text while keeping it aligned horizontal. Seems to only show up it I rotate the text. Goes away when I put back horizontal. Frustrating. Just want to drop shadow text with out rotating. Can anyone advise on this? Thanks in advance.

This was discussed here for many times.
Drop shadow on text isn't implemented, because many browsers don't support it.
If text has to be converted to an image (system fonts, rotating etc), shadow can be applied, because this effect will be part of the image.
Look here:
Appllying effects, shadow, bevel, glow to text

Why does my G4 ibook display only work when it's partially open?

The display on my iBook G4 shows no video until I nearly close the lid. I can then see the display working but it is at an extreme angle. I'm thinking that it must be a contact problem, but cannot find any forum or troubleshooting support that address this issue. Does anyone know of a procedure to check and repair this?
Thanks in advance,
Randy

Randy,
I have repaired those inverter cables. The break is usually at the hinge point and often it's the red wire that breaks. If you open up the iBook (bottom case, top case (Be very careful with the power lead, it's easy to rip the socket off the logic board. I don't even attempt to unplug it, just free up the speaker cables and the power lead (blue and white) by pulling it free from the adhesive) and the top shield. (lots of patience required here to keep from bending the shield esp. near the top left). Often I'll just leave it connected and tape it to the display. You have to tease the inverter cable out and might have to remove the display to get full access. Note carefully how the cable is routed around the hinge. I tease the silver tape apart (often you can see the break - big black burned spot) so then I solder it back together, lots of tiny shrink tubing.
When I remove the top or bottom shield I'll tape the individual screws right to the shield near where they belong. 3M blue for this. That way reassembly is a no brainer. I used to measure the screw length w/ a metric rule and that took forever.
I also use a "black stick" that I made from a #3 black nylon propeller from the hobby shop. I cut it in half and tape the cut ends w/ self fusing electrical tape. The black stick is essential to releasing the tabs that hold the case together. Don't forget to release the one inside the battery compartment as I often find that one broken off in iBooks that come in for donation.
More if you email me but I won't be back in the shop until Saturday night.

Slideshows don't work when published to .mac

After upgrading to iLife '08, the slideshows on my photo pages published from iWeb to .mac no longer work. They worked fine before. When I post to my web gallery directly from iPhoto, the slideshow works fine. I have checked to make sure the slideshow is enabled, and republished all of my pages. Now all of them don't work. Before that, only the new ones didn't work.

Thanks for your response, answered below:
If you build your site in iWeb '06 and converted it to '08 I would rebuild the photo pages from scratch. ANSWER The contents of the podcast track in '08 were replaced, not rebuilt
Do you still have an "iWeb" folder in Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites? ANSWER: Yes, but there is nothing in it
THE CURRENT SITUATION is that the website loads, but the podcast picture doesn't appear, just a Quicktime logo with a ? in it. The sound tracks still play but no images appear.
Asked my husband to load the page on his PC, same thing happens ie the Quicktime logo with a ? appears.

Add Comment button only works on .mac domain

I have a personal domain through Apple, and the add comment button only works when i go to my .mac domain. When I go through my personal domain it says error!

Yep.
Those needed files are not served by your iDisk. They are served using Apple servers and only work for .Mac (iDisk) accounts.

Iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.
Regards.

My ipod nano 4th generation only works when it is plugged into the computer; otherwise, the screen turns black and it is completely unresponsive to any efforts such as pushing buttons, reseting, etc. What should I do?

Sounds like the battery is shot and in need of a replacement. You can have Apple replace the battery for a flat fee or you can send it into a third party repair center for a bit less.
Not much else you can do for troubleshooting this one.

Does Siri only work when connected to WiFi

Does Siri only work when you are connected to a Wifi? Mine does not seem to work through the 4G cell network.

It works over WiFi or cellular.
If you are using 4G cell network, are you using something like a Verizon MiFi 4510L to create a hotspot that your iPhone 4S is using?
There are other issues with Siri that are going on - perhaps that is what you are seeing?

Does Lightroom only work when online?

Does Lightroom only work when I am online? Do I have to be online to process or work on files? If I cannot be online, eg, when in a remote area with no service, how do I process my photo's?

You can easily test this by cutting off all network access to your computer (turn off wi-fi or disconnect the network cable). You'll find that you can still get stuff done if there is no Internet. Especially if you are using the non-subscription version of Lightroom, which doesn't need to check in at all after it's first licensed.
If you do use Lightroom through a subscription to Creative Cloud, the annual plan has an offline mode limit of 99 days (over 3 months); the limit is 30 days offline for the monthly plan. And if you stop your subscription, you still have access to your images and some Lightroom features.

Does iMessages only work when writing to people who have i05, or can you write to people using other systems ?

I have an iPad 2, but have never yet been able to send a iMessage....does this only work when writing to people who also have i05, or can you also write to people who use other systems ?
iMessages is turned on on my system, but even when writing to people who I know have iPads or iPhones , I just get the red exclamation mark....
Sending messages on my iPhone seems to work okay when sending to non iPhone users, so I don't understand what's wrong here .

From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529 :
iMessage allows you to send unlimited text, photos, videos, locations, and contacts using Wi-Fi or 3G* from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to other iOS 5 users.
Note: On iPhone, if iMessage is unavailable, the message may be sent as SMS or MMS, depending on content. Carrier messaging rates may apply. You can turn this on or off in iPhone at Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Messages sent using iMessage will appear in a light blue bubble, while messages sent using SMS or MMS will appear in a green bubble.

Why does Do Not Disturb only work when the iPhone is locked?

I've been wanting for awhile now a way to easily turn off all notification alerts and incoming calls while keeping cellular data and wi-fi on so I can use my phone in peace without gimping my wireless connections, and even though iOS 6 as a whole seems awesome to me, I'm disappointed Do Not Disturb only works when the iPhone is locked.

Was just wondering if other people felt the same way I do and start a discussion about it so maybe that with more people talking about it, Apple would pay attention to it more. People complaining about how calls and alerts were lighting up their screen at night seems to be some inspiration to why Apple added Do Not Disturb in the first place. Didn't know I was doing anything in violation of the Terms of Use so sorry about that.

Google Analytics breaks iWeb blog comments

Does anybody know a workaround for Google Analytics' breaking of iWeb blog comments? Apparently, from some posts I've read, StatCounter and other traffic stat services break iWeb blog comments, too... so it's apparently an iWeb issue rather than a Google Analytics issue. FWIW, I'm publishing to my MobileMe personal domain. Thanks in advance!

I found a decent way of adding Google Analytics to all pages, without using HTML Snippits (which cause analytics to track those odd page names like widget2_markup.html), that doesn't break MobileMe comments, and doesn't require any post-processing of your iWeb site. Just Publish and go! Open up your iWeb app bundle, and drill down to Contents/Resources/Scripts/Site. Open up the file iWebSite.js in TextEdit (or your favorite text editor), and paste the following at the bottom of the file:
// Begin Google Analytics
gaTrackerId = 'ss-ddddddd-d'; // insert your tracker id here
document.observe('dom:loaded', function() {
var gaJsHost = ( ('https:' == document.location.protocol) ? 'https://ssl.' : 'http://www.') + 'google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var script = new Element('script', { 'src': gaJsHost});
var gaTrack = function() {
if (
!script.readyState
|| /loaded|complete/.test(script.readyState)
var pageTracker = gat.getTracker(gaTrackerId);
pageTracker._trackPageview();
script.observe('load', gaTrack);
script.observe('readystatechange', gaTrack);
document.body.appendChild(script);
// End Google Analytics
Credit to this solution goes to this blog post. I got the idea to find a way of using Google Analytics in Prototype (since iWeb sites use the Prototype JavaScript framework) and found that blog snippit.
And yes, since this is editing the iWeb application bundle, you may need to reapply this hack if/when iWeb is updated. Hopefully though, some enterprising iWeb engineer is reading this and will add proper Google Analytics support to iWeb for us.

TS1630 My iphone4 speakers will only work when I receive a call or factime, but for nothing else. Why?

My Speakers on my iphone4 will only work when I receive a call or facetime, and are muffled when an alarm goes off. Other than that, I have absolutely no sound from anything- text, music, videos, games, etc. UNLESS I use headphone. My phone will vibrate with text messages, though. When I try to turn up the volume on the side, it doesn't register any bars- the space for the volume boxes is blank. Also, there is no volume bar in my music when I try to turn up the volume. I have tried restarting my phone numerous times, I have also checked and rechecked the switch on the side to no avail. Does anyone have any troubleshooting ideas or know what might cause this?

I tried this and noticed a little green inside the charging port. I panicked thinking it was corrupt, but found out if you lighting moisten the toothbrush with alcohol and gently scrub (with the power off) you can remove the green. I started inspecting one of our charging adapters, which had been giving us trouble, and it was very green inside. Not sure if it can transfer from one to the other?
BUT now I have sound! Thanks for your suggestion, it helped!

Siri only works when "Raise to Speak" option is activated

Hello:
I have iOS 7 installed in my iPhone 5 and I have the following problem:
Siri only works when "Raise to Speak" option is activated. When I change this option and I try to talk with siri I do not receive any answer.
Please, could someone give me an idea to solve this problem!
All the best
jc

I am having this same problem. The problem appears to be related to the microphone and must be a softwear issue. The microphone works with other apps, and works when making and receiving calls. It also works when I "raise to speak" to Siri, but it does not pick up any sound when I attempt to talk to Siri by holding the home button, or when pressing the microphone button on screen when in the Siri interface. Is it possible that holding the home button to talk to Siri is somehow not activating the microphone?
I should also note that I have tried turning the phone off and back on. I have tried the reset by holding the home button and the sleep/wake button, and I have even restored the phone in iTunes, although I did not set it up as a new iPhone, because I am not interested in losing app data, call history, messeges, etc.

ZTE Open C Accelerometer only works when phone is upside down?

I just received my new ZTE Open C and when I tried a few games, like Sketchbook Squad, for example, I found that the accelerometer control ONLY works if I hold my phone upside down.
Does anyone know if this may be an OS related issue relating to calibration, or maybe it's a defective device?

Hi bugninja,
I also tried SketchBook Squad and it's working correctly on my device.
Can you please list *all* the apps that you are having problems with? Please specify which of those apps the accelerometer do not seem to work at all, and which of those apps the accelerometer only works when the phone is upside down. This information will help greatly in investigating this issue.
Please also let us know the Build ID of your ZTE Open C device. To find the Build ID, go into '''Settings''' > '''Device Information''' > '''More Information'''.
Thanks,
- Ralph
