Editing a site after it was published

I have published a web page that was created using iWeb. I have about 4 total web pages. I can see some of them, but the one that is publish through .Mac, I cannot edit! I don't know where to go to edit it. So I guess my question is, where do I go to edit that page?
Thanks.

how do I download the entire website so I can work on it locally,
If you mean editing it in iWeb, then you don't need to download it. Your website is held in the domain.sites file, which lives here:
User/Library/Appilcation Support/iWeb/ domain.sites
All you do is edit and the republish it, the File > Option that you mention gives you two choices.
1. Publish to .Mac, this is for users who have a .mac account, just choose this option or click the publish button at the bottom of the screen.
2. Publish to a Folder, this sends your site to User/Sites/ and from here you need to ftp it to your webhost, this is for those without a .mac account.

Announcing site after it is published

Is there a way to announce my site after it has been published? I know that I can send the long url address, but it is so much easier to announce. Looking at the site, it appears that the only time you can announce is right after publishing.

I believe when you publish iweb will ask you if you want to announce and it will list the short name by default. This is assuming that you only have one site or you are announcing the main site if you have more than one. After you publish follow the instructions to announce from iweb and give it a shot. Hope that helps

How does the client edit their site after the freelancer stops hosting the site on their CC account?

Once a freelancer stops hosting a client's site through their Creative Cloud Account, how does the client continue to edit their site? Do they need their own CC account or does the site have to be hosted on a BC plan?

I cannot Publish my site after using the Publish Public Site Manager. An error, with no explanation is returned.

The problem we’re having has to do with transitioning our existing Easter I Tunes U site over to an iTunes U Public site as the instructions below tell us to do.
-          I can access the itunes U Public Site Manager fine with my ID.
-          I was able to make some changes to our existing site to get it ready for publishing it to the iTunes U public site format.
-          I can preview our existing site as a new Public Site fine from within the Public Site Manager application.
-          However, when I try to Publish it I get an error that says :   An error has occurred during the publishing of your content. Try again
Looking for some support to tell me what we’re not doing correctly to migrate our existing site over.

Here are the answers
Eastern CT State University is no longer in the iTunes U directory .    r
The have not migrated their site to iTunes U Public Site Manager. Starting June 2010 we notified all iTunes U site administrators for any site in the iTunes store that they would need to migrate their existing site to iTunes U Public Site Manager in the future. In Feb. 2011 we notified them that the deadline for migration would be April 2011 and that if they had not migrated their site would no longer appear on the list.
For Eastern CT State University to return to the list, they just need to transition over to an iTunes U Public Site Manager based site. Information on how to do so can be found here -http://deimos.apple.com/rsrc/doc/UsingiTunesUPublicSiteManager/CommonQuestions/c hapter_14_section_2.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/iTUPSM-CH5-SW2

Nick Good ?uestion!
I am the New Admin for The University of New Orleans, and after reading the response to your initial question I think we fall into the category of needing to migrate to Public site manager. But looking at the tutorial which is mainly text, I cannot follow the instructions. Do you have a screen shot of what step two because I cannot find the " iTunes U Public Site Manager in the Tools area."
Thank you!

Problems with my Iweb site after using Iweb Seo Tool!!

I just used the Iweb Seo Tool with my Iweb 09. I followed the Seo webpage instructions to use it. I published it and everything seemed to work well.
I added Google analytics and used every option available that the tool offers
As of today. When trying to use my bookmarked link in my bookmarks toolbar, it didnt work.I entered my site into the address bar and my site loaded fine.
But...I have some problems.
My comments in my blog have disapeared
I cant log into my MobileMe account through my system preferences
My password and use name are rejected
I can log into my site through MobileMe.com and I have even changed my password.
I have tried to publish my Iweb site and I get the error "Couldnt reach the MobileMe configuration server"
I publish using my idisk and mobileme account
I have looked on other forums and found out that if i move my "cache" from my "home" folder, to the desktop that it should work... no luck!!
Please Help!!!!
my website is www.kulturetattoo.com if you want to see where my comments are. They are listed under "testimonials" on my home page
Can I just delete the Iweb Seo Tool and get rid of any metatags, google analytics and everything else? and have my old website back?

iWeb SEO Tool can modify your site after you've published to MobileMe. It will do it on the MMe server. Takes longer but you can avoid having to publish to a folder and then uploading from there. Also the latest version, 1.7.2, is supposed to work with blog pages according to the developer: http://www.ragesw.com/products/iweb-seo-tool.html

How do I create a project site after I publish a project in Project Server 2013?

How do I create a project site after I publish a project from project pro 2013 in Project Server 2013? I'm trying to look for an option in the ribbon but haven't found any.
Thanks
James T.F

Hi James,
See in the article the procedure for site provisionning settings.
Note that the project site is created based on the template associated to the chosen project type (EPT) when the user first publishes his project. Be aware that if you allow the user to choose weither or not he'll create a sharepoint site when publishing
his project, he will be prompted in Project Pro with a dialog box giving the choice to create or not the site.
Hope this helps,

IWeb error messages -- can't publish large site after upgrade.

I just upgraded to iLife 09 and all of my websites showed up red in the new iWeb - indicating that they needed to be published. I hadn't changed any of them since the upgrade but I figured it was part of the upgrade to republish all of them.
Whenever I try to publish the sites I get the following message:
An error occurred while publishing file “/private/var/folders/pM/pMWBd0yEF04cfDIeAZkuPE+TI/TemporaryItems/com.apple.iWeb7281_TEMP_288612390_15/sites/JW/Things_and_Such_files/shapeimage2.png”. Try publishing again later.
I've tried all the usual suggestions. I threw away the preferences files and cache files for iWeb. I logged out of MobileMe and logged back in. I tried to publish from an older version of my Domain file from Time Machine. If I tell it to publish the site to my desktop then it works just fine. The site that it has problems with creates a 179MB folder on my desktop when I publish to my desktop. The other two sites that I have in iWeb publish perfectly in MobileMe but are not bigger than 3 MB each.
I tried moving parts of the larger site out of it, publishing the significantly shrunken page and then adding the rest back in smaller pieces. It will publish the smaller selection with no problem. It won't let me add the pieces back in, however. IWeb freezes up when I try and I have to reload the previous Domain file from Time Machine.
So, my question is: Is there a limit to the size of site that can be published using iWeb? If so how do I get around this?

Reboot fixed it.

I cannot view my site in browser or publish my site after 2014.3 update

Hi,
I updated to 2014.3 and cannot view my site in browser or publish. I see that alot of other people are having issues. Can you please assist. This is very frustrating.
I am using OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.
Thank you
Brett

Hi Sanjit,
I cannot even publish the site. Muse crashes when I try to view site in browser and it crashes when I try to publish the site. It is not the browsers - yes I have tried. It has only happened since I updated to 2014.3 - just like everyone else having problems. This is a problem with the update. I can make a new site in the new release and it works - however all existing sites built before 2014.3 release is no good. This a big problem that needs sorting out. I should not have to rebuild everything again. I have sent my muse file via dropbox, as I have seen other people having trouble being asked to send the file through and it will be looked at. The url is http://australiasnaturecoast.businesscatalyst.com/ . This is not the correct version as I made a new site in the new muse update. I need my original version to work. I have tried uninstall and reinstall of Muse and this has not helped.
Thanks

Is it possible to move content between private and public sites after publishing the latter?

Hi. Is anyone else in this position? My institution kept its original iTunes U site after migrating our public content to the new public site last year. We now have separate public and private (university log-in only) sites and must maintain both. The Public Site Administrator allowed the copying of existing content from the original iTunes U site to the new public site, but ONLY prior to publication of the public site. I have two related questions for the community:
1) How is it possible to maintain a workflow in which faculty create a course for the private iTunes U site (wanting to keep the content restricted to our students while the course is live), but then move the content over to the public site once the semester ends?
2) With the new app for Courses and the Course Manager on the public site, what do we do with the courses already created by faculty as Collections (either in the public or private sites)?
I hope there are folks out there that can help.
Thanks!
Kevin

I'd like to see a discussion on this exact topic as well. Have you determined yet how to move a private course (apple hosted) to the public site? Can you use an RSS feed from the private?

How do I access my iWeb website when I no longer have the original iWeb program it was published with?

Last Fall, my '06 iMac was vandalized and destroyed unexpectedlyl. Since then, I have'nt been able to access my only website, which was published through iWeb. My new iMac does not have iWeb.
How can I access my main website published through the old iWeb? I must transfer my domain name/site to a new web host and build a new site. My website is out of date and must be updated/replaced asap. Please help.

To edit your website, you need the domain.sites file iWeb uses to store its assets.
You also need iWeb.
If the file is missing and you have no backup, you'll have to start from scratch.
Perhaps you still have the iLife install disks.
And browse this forum to learn how to get a copy of iLife. It's often discussed.

I wrote a 27 chap. book on my iMac from ****. B4 I was completely finished, I spent hundreds of hours on-line and in store, and final answer after atty was involved was 1) we've never seen it b4 2) we don't know what it is 3) it's not ur harddrive, softw

finished, at about 26 chaps, 1) hard-drive went out, 2) visited site & then got "ur virus is infected buy us now" pop-ups (only time in 3 year. of using a mac, and 3) (forget what but an issue. Spent hours on-line, and at store. And finally w/an attorney when I kept being told it was user error. (I"m getting to book isssue I promise) During this time, Harddrive was wiped, external b-up replaced, something about "separated" etc. etc. and even computer replaced w/same issues afterward. Final vrdict 1 yr. later: 1_ we've never seen it 2_ we don't know what it is--not a virus, not harddrive malfunciton, not software issue 3_ we don't know how to fix it. Live w/it w/multiple errors and oddities every time you try to type or start all over. Got an attorney, and took it in again, and miractulously, "he" fixed it. However, in meantime, I wrote many duplicate chapts. when I couldn't find missing, or edited, some, etc.
Everything was writen in Pages, chapt. by chapt. Now I have a 27 chap. book(my first) in pieces--w/many duplicate or slightlychanged chapters all over the computer. I'm trying to reconstruct. Some chaps. I just can't find, some are garbled, some do strange things like left justifying and changing to single space (and can't change back to double, just have to erase and start over, on those old documents. Needless to say I have felt so defeated it's been really hard to get back to the almost finished book for last re-write.
The Questions: 1)I'm trying to find the chapters, and as I find and edit them I need to know how to make this massive achievement work. Should I continue w/chapter by chapt until all are finished? Or start putting them into single document as they are finished? How do I find anything? If I put finished in PDF to send to publisher, even tho it's my PDF, I can't go back and edit my own, except in a duplicate entire document, is that correct?
I cant' find the string to start unraveling this mess. I do have hardcopies made and presented to writing group so need to edit those chapters.
I'm used to paper typewritten copies of everything for manipulation, and I know things now I should have done on the Mac but didn't when I started. (I"m also having trouble getting a Table of Contents to work, which is making it doubly hard to find anything.)
To sum it up, I think, How do I write a book, with chapters (no technical sstuff, only a few footnotes & I may group them at the back of the book.) as far as manipulating documetns/folders, have ready for export, etc. Probably too long a question so go ahead and chew me out. (And I havent' used any other document except Text Edit in years.) I am overwhelmed an book is wasting away.

If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.

I can't edit my site or even create a new one!

I created a website on this computer and it was published - somewhat successfully. The photo albums didn't upload. But, when I open iWeb, I can't edit the site. It doesn't even give me the option to create a new site. My software is up to date

Sorry so late responding. In Lion the 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.
For opening your domain file in Lion 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.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file 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.
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 compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
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.

IWeb site opens blank site after moving to new computer

Hi,
I copied my iWeb domain file to a new computer and now when I open it, it opens to a blank site as if I've never created anything before.
To make maters worse, in the process of following advice from others and deleting preference files etc, I've messed things up to the point that my iWeb site no longer works on the original computer . However, I have used Time Machine to retrieve a copy of the domain file from three months ago (when I can be sure it was working). Problem is, I can't get it to work on either computer.
I would appreciate any advice and direction as I've got over six years of work into this particular site.
Message was edited by: pgreensoup

What you need is the Domain.sites2 file from your old computer. It will be located in the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Copy it to the same folder on your new Mac replacing the domain file that is currently there.
If you don't have a copy of that file you'll have to rebuild your site from scratch. However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing image, audio and/or video files in the published site in the reconstruction of the site.

Use multiple Macs with same .Mac account to edit different sites

Last year our school purchased a .Mac account to host our school website. All of the teachers had been using the same .Mac account and using iWeb to publish their own sites. Because all the sites had different names, there were no publishing problems. That changed with iWeb 2. We experimented with the new iWeb 2 on a couple workstations and discovered that publishing to the same .Mac account on different Macs resulted in sites being overwritten by the computer that was published the most recently. What's confusing to me is the that sites were being overwritten even though the sites had different names. In other words, teacher "Jones" publishes their web named "jones" to .Mac. Teacher "Smith" then publishes their web named "smith". The result... the Jones web gets deleted and overwritten by Smith. In iWeb 1x, all the sites had their own named folders organized nice and neatly, now, no matter what we do, we still get the same overwritting issue. I can understand this happening if the sites all had the same name, but this is not the case.
This had been a great way for our teachers to easily publish their own pages, unfortunately they won't be able to take advantage of the new features in iWeb 2, if this isssue isn't resolved. Any help would be very much appreciated.

You've got a mess on your hands with only one iDisk being used and dozens of versions of the Domain.sites2 (made by iWeb) in use.
If all used the same version of the Domain.sites2 package things would work. That would mean sharing that same file each time anyone edited it between all users.
You could do that but eventually someone will make a change and fail to move to all users and the Site could get messed up at publishing.
If all of the teachers used the same machine and user account they could also upload to one iDisk.
Last would be to publish to folder and upload using the Finder for each user. Those pages would not include some .Mac specific features.
