Facebook Thumbnail Photo from iWeb Site

When adding a link to facebook, no thumbnail appears, as if no photo were on the page at all. I checked all usual suspects, no avail.
In regards to that, is the text on iWeb site able to be 'grabbed' by search engines?
Thanks!

Hey guys i figured it out.
Well sort of, for now (still testing it) the main picture that i wanted (because i uploaded it to my site, (snapshot, cropped, saved in the welcome_files folder maybe it didnt upload just yet) but the other photos on my welcome page are there, (i did this only for the welcome page, i guess doing it to each of the pages would be wise:
follow this:
or short code:
html snippet = < link rel="image_src" href="http://site.com/image.jpg" />
IMPORTANT: (Remove the space between < and link) Make sure you change the href to where the image is hosted, using the full URL.
FOR NON IWEB: In order to get Share Preview and other features to read the image correctly, you need to make sure it's between the head tags in your html. It also helps to have the meta tags "title" and "description".

Publication of photos from iweb to mobile me produce an error

I am no longer able to publish photos from iweb to my mobile me site
The process starts well; but some minutes after, it stops at a file (not always the same) as if the time was up or the size too large (I have plenty of room in Mobile me).
It has worked some months ago for the first set of photos ...
thanks for you help

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
1 - go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
2 - login with a bogus username and password. This clears the caches.
3 - login with your correct username and password.
4 - launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
3 - reboot.
4 - launch iWeb and see if you can publish.
If that doesn't help:
5 - move the domain file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
6 - launch iWeb, create a new test site and save.
7 - go to the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
8 - move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
9 - launch iWeb and try again.

Can't load thumbnail photo from file 'BBThumbs.dat'

Hi everybody,
I'm developing an application on BB to take and view photo. My problem is can't load the thumbnail photos from file 'BBThumbs.dat'. I'm using code as below:
public byte[] getThumb(String fileName) {
String DB = fileName.substring(0, fileName.lastIndexOf('/'))
+ "/BBThumbs.dat";
fileName = fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf('/') + 1, fileName
.length());
if (thumbsMap == null) {
thumbsMap = new Hashtable();
byte b[] = null;
FileConnection fc = null;
InputStream in = null;
try {
fc = (FileConnection) Connector.open(DB, Connector.READ);
if (!fc.exists()) {
return null;
byte[] temp=new byte[(int)fc.fileSize()];
in = fc.openInputStream();
DataInputStream is=new DataInputStream(in);
// b = getThumbNail(first, thumbsMap, fileName, in);
is.readFully(temp);
b=readThumbs(temp, fileName);
} catch (Exception e) {
} finally {
if (fc != null) {
try {
fc.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
if (in != null) {
try {
in.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
return b;
please give my any idea or suggestions. Thanks

Try:
!Section=Dimensions
'Name;DimensionClass;DimensionAlias;CustomDimensionID
SKU;Generic;;
!Members=SKU
'Name;DataType
Brand1;Unspecified
Brand2;Unspecified
!Hierarchies=SKU
'Parent;Child;DataStorage
#root;Brand1;StoreData
#root;Brand2;StoreData
Tho I would add MemberValidForPlan#;Plan#Aggregation, where # is a number of your application which this member is valid for or even has a specific aggregation, as well
example:
!Hierarchies=SKU
'Parent;Child;DataStorage;MemberValidForPlan1;MemberValidForPlan2;MemberValidForPlan3;Plan1Aggregation;Plan2Aggregation;Plan3Aggregation;UDA
#root;Brand1;StoreData;Y;Y;Y;+;+;+;
#root;Brand2;StoreData;Y;Y;Y;+;+;+;
Even more as an idea use pipes, maybe.
But you will need to say something about Aliases as well if this is a planning application.

When I copied a photo from any site, how can I see it in iPhoto

When I copied a photo from any site, how can I see it in iPhoto?

When you tap and hold on image in safari, there will be context menu. Usually there two options at least:
* Save image
* Copy
If you'll tap Copy - it will be copied to buffer and you can paste it at your new email (for ex.)
If you'll tap Save image - it will be saved in Photos app on your iPad (in my case it saves at Camera roll album)

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

Link posted on Facebook does not import Photo from the site

When I paste a link to a status line on Facebook, it imports the title and annotation of the page correctly. However, the Facebook does not show any photo from the page (as it does with other websites).
Is there a way to force Facebook to show a photo alongside the title etc?
I am trying to post for instance this: http://www.cykasy.cz/Atlas/Cycas_xipholepis.html
and would like to show some of the pictures on Facebook too.

It seems that the only solution is to write a piece of code into the header of the page and that will tell facebook where to pull the title, description and the photo from. The code that needs to be inserted is below.
THE PROBLEM - this solution doesn't work if you have built your site using iweb. Everyone that has iweb has responded to the solution (everywhere this is written about) has said this.
Does anyone know another work around?
The solution for anyone without iweb:
<meta name="title" content="INSERT CONTENT HERE" />
<meta name="description" content="INSERT CONTENT HERE" />
<link rel="image_src" href="INSERT LOCATION OF PHOTO WEB ADDRESS HERE" />

Photos on iWeb site

Is it possible to save your iDisk space by putting photos on your .Mac iWeb site from another website you are with. Maybe thats not very clear.... I have a 'pro' flickr account that I bought before I got my .Mac account as a gift. Is it possible to build my .Mac website from the photo's I have already on my Flickr account to save loading them to my iDisk and therefore saving space?
It's just I plan to put a lot of photos on my site and don't want it to eat up all my space. I realise, I could just continue with my photos on Flickr, but I really like the format of the .Mac sites better and plan on selling some of my prints through the site.
Any help would be great,
David

I may have read too much into your plans.
I'm not, by any means, an expert with Flickr so bear with me.
IF the files in Flickr are accessible with "http" commands, it's real easy to add a hyperlink in your iWeb site to bring the viewer to Flickr. The minor difficulty is that you want only SOME viewers to reach Flickr. IF Flickr access can be PW-protected, it's a slam-dunk.
If not, it might be a little klutzy. You'll need to create a second iWeb site that's PW-protected. The hyperlink in your main iWeb site brings the viewer to the PW-protected iWeb site and, for those that can access it, another hyperlink will take them to Flickr.

Deleting itune music selection from iweb site

(New & non techie) iWeb Q: Dragged itunes music sel. onto first page of iwebsite. Gray box that went on top of page then eliminated first-page photo in background. Went through "Inspector", Quick time, but could not get it to work.(song play) Would like to get itunes song OFF of site as it is causing problems. I.e. On all other computers opening my web page, a prompt comes down entitled: "AUTHORIZE COMPUTER which then reads beneath: _"This computer is not authorized to play (the song)" if you purchased in itunes then open itunes and auth this computer to play by entering your apple id and pw"_ and I can't give that out to everyone that uses another computer. (not all my friends want to do this but its also messing up their pc or macs(freezing in some cases until they manage to click out of the AUTH COMP box drop down. My question is: How can I just delete the whole itunes song / quick time prompt from the site... period ...(until I can take a class in how to do this without ruining my site?) One added note: The photo that I REposted covered up the gray box and I can't find it.. (even though I went to top of tool bar and clicked all the "back to front, front to back items...) the one that I originally dragged the song into and while the photo is back,(REposted) there is a Q- time bar at the bottom of the photo (which suggests that the photo is occupying the gray box anyway?? Any help would certainly be appreciated. Sincerely, Eugene PS: if needed: "[email protected]"

Click on the item in the iWeb page until there are four squares in the for corners, i.e. select it, and hit the Delete key.
You can only put none DRM audio tracks on a web page. Any protected file from the iTunes store will not be permitted.

How to delete old photos from iWeb in MobileMe

As iWeb 1.1.2 no longer works I need to find another way of editing the old iWeb data I am still paying for on my iDisk.

Ewan ~ To view your iWeb site files on your iDisk go here:
http://www.me.com/idisk
...Log in and click on the Web folder, then on the Sites folder within that.
If you simply want to delete your whole site, then delete the folder named as your site: Select it and click on the red "Delete" icon in the upper toolbar. (Don't delete the Sites folder itself.)
If you want to edit the HTML, the following is quoted from _this old thread_...
You can use the TextEdit which comes with Mac OS and just make sure in the preferences to make it "Ignore rich text commands in html files", you'll find it in the "Open and Save" tab.
Some on this forum recommend the free TextWrangler for easier editing of HTML files:
http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/
...Bear in mind that published HTML files are not intended to be edited. People do manage to do it, but it requires some knowledge of HTML and the structure of files/folders that iWeb has created on your iDisk.

Downloading photos from iweb to iphoto

I thought I had lost an album of photos but have found that I uploaded them to iWeb, which I no longer use.
Is there any way to download them to iPhoto other than one at a time?
Thanks

Two options.
One
If you still have the domain file iWeb uses to store its assets, then find it, right-click and choose Show package content from the menu.
A folder opens and your original images are there.
The domain file is here :
~/Library/Application Support/iWeb
where ~ is your Home directory.
Two
Depending where you publish, either mount your iDisk (MobileMe) and navigate to the Web > Sites folder.
Or
When you publish elsewhere, connect to that server.
Browse your Site to find the images. Note that these are not the originals you dropped on the iWeb page.

Iweb/iphoto: not able to put photos into iweb site unless named by me!

This is wierd, surely this cant be right. I am building a site in iweb. Sometimes I can drag the photo in no problem, to drop it on the page - any type page, doesnt have to be a Photo /Albums page.
But other times, only the name of the file and a box comes onto the page- no actual photo. Seems to be when the name of the photo file is from the camera, because photos named by me seem to be ok. (But not always! )
Other times, the photo I'm dragging just springs back.
Please can someone tell me what's happening and how to get round! Becuase I am stuck - I cant put the phtos I want into my website.
(I find iphoto pretty annoying anyway - I prefer the way I used to organise my phots on pc, more logical with me naming the folders. I get in such a muddle- it's so much easier to orgaise photo files in Finder, but they still end up messy in iphoto because it doesnt recocgnise the changes Ive just made with Finder! arrggghhhh!!!)

Have all your photos been taken with your camera, if so, they are all jpgs. You can take them from iphoto and place them on to the desktop into a folder. They should all work when you place them into iweb. I have been able to drag and drop illustrator files, photoshop files and jpgs, all which were photos in the first place. It shouldn't matter what they are.
The ones that don't work have you manipulated them in photoshop?

IWeb page printed from iWeb site comes out BLACK on some browsers

I made and run a website for a local art group. iWeb works well for this purpose. I publish the site to our domain. The main site is for the public and a second site, password protected and reached through the main site, is for members.
I've put the entry form for our biggest annual exhibition on the website, intending that members can print it from there (most have hard copies as well). Printing works perfectly from Safari. But many members have PCs (grrr) and use things like Firefox and IE.
Firefox prints the iWeb pages totally BLACK. IE prints okay on some computers and not on others. A clue is that, if you look fast as you open an iWeb page in IE, you see all the layout components in light blue; it immediately disappears. But that is the part that prints out black.
What on earth is causing this and HOW can it be prevented?? I have used NO background color on my pages.
Thanx,

That ain't right! What you need to do is use web-safe fonts...

Search option missing from iWeb site after MobileMe transition

I'm assuming this is a residual bug from the transition to MobleMe, but I've just noticed that my site published with iWeb is missing the Search box on the home page. Just curious if anyone else has had this, or anyone has found a fix.
Tried republishing the site, but still no joy. Also tried viewing the site via the new MobleMe address as well (as opposed to old .Mac address), and it's missing there too.
Bueller? Anyone?

Strange, my friend on the latest Firefox could not see the search bar, but when I asked her to load into Safari, the webpage loaded up fine (on a Powerbook). I then tried to load up the page on Safari with my Powerbook, but no dice.
I then booted up into Windows XP and tried viewing my webpage via IE 7, Firefox 3 AND Safari, and the search bar STILL does not show up. The search bar is not limited to Mac OS X and Safari (on a Mac) right?

Facebook Wall Snippet on iWeb Site

I don't know if it's possible, but it would be great if I can publish my wall (with updates) on my iWeb website! It is possible with Twitter (with a HTML-code), but I can't find any info for a similar thing with Facebook.

You can embed your face book page in one of your iWeb pages with iFrame code and an HTML snippet: Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page. MIght not look like you want it to but it can be done.

How to display HD Video from iWeb site?

I want to put a link on the site that opens an HD resolution video in its own window. Mmm. I used to imbed the videos (only a year ago!?) on a page of the site. But with the HD I want it to pop up 1280 X 270.
How would I go about doing this?
All ears,
Ben

To answer my own question. I had the .mov file in a folder on a separate drive. I made a link in my iWeb project to that file in the separate folder on a separate drive.
When I saved and then published the website to its own separate folder ... the movie was copied to that folder.
I used Transmit to upload the whole show to the web. That's when I noticed that iWeb had automatically saved a copy of the movie in its own file structure and was now uploading it. When I went to the new website ... and clicked the movie link: it opened full size against a dark grey background. Not sure where the dark grey background comes from ... but it opened and ran just fine.
