I web - downloading already designed website to use with Iweb

Greetings,
I already have a webpage designed using dreamweaver up on a server. I am fairly new to the mac software and am trying to discover it.
Am I able to download or "get" ( as they say in dreamweaver ) the page from the web, edit it in iweb, then publish it back up to the web OR is Iweb a one way only ( publish only ) ftp program ?
If I can go get my web pages from my server, where is the information I need to school me on how to do that.
Roy

iWeb cannot read existing html pages, only create them. So if you want to convert your existing site to iWeb you'll need to do so from scratch. Chapter 2.3 of this iWeb FAQ site has tips on using some of the published files in the reconstruction of the site.

  • Compressing clips for use with iweb?

    I have got a video clip I want to use with iweb to upload onto my site, however it's 14mb. There was a tip that flashed up to say if I export using quicktime it will make the file smaller.
    However I did this and now it's 37mb!
    How can I compress it for iweb without losing too much content?

    Does a bigger file not take longer for the person viewing to be able to watch it, or is it a case then that once it's uploaded, they can view it instantly? If it's the latter then that's not a problem.
    As they say, "time is relative to motion." In this case case, that faster the ISP connection, the faster a "Fast Start" movie will begin to play. By this I mean that a "Fast Start" movie must cache enough data so that is is not likely to overrun the data as it is being downloaded. A larger file will, of course, have to "cache" more data before beginning to play. But how noticeable this time difference is, in turn, related to both the size of the file and the speed of the connection. If your connection is on the order of 1.6 Mbps then the delay for a 1500-1600 Kbps movie no matter what its total duration, should not be that long. On the other hand, if you or your target users are using a 1.1 Mbps connection, then there will some delay which would be directly proportional to the total size of the movie (i.e., the total duration x the average data rate per unit of time) In this case you would likely prefer a smaller sized file. And, of course, one way to make the file smaller is to decrease its display dimensions (i.e., maintain constant quality over a smaller viewing area) and another would be to decrease the data rate (i.e., reduce quality of the same viewing area). For some, the question is more one of minimal acceptable quality. Once again, the iMovie '08 H.264/AAC pre-sets are generally a good compromise between data rate (quality) and files size (cache download time).

  • Opening old website pages(made with iweb) in iweb?

    I created a website and I am having problems opening the website i created with Iweb because I guess it believes the site is deleted, is there anyway to open the files again and drag them back into iweb, thank you for your replies
    ~Andrew~

    Andrew,
    Welcome to the discussions!
    Did you successfully publish your site? (Can you view it from a web browser?)
    Look in this path on your hard drive and find your Domain file. Double-click on this file to make sure that your site is not there. Assuming that it isn't, how did you conclude your work in iWeb after building the site? You would've been prompted to Save/Publish your work when closing the iWeb window.
    Published pages cannot be imported into the application; the only access to work created in iWeb is through the Domain File.
    After double-clicking on the Domain, if your site does not come up, I'd be interested in knowing how you can visit the site without it having been saved in the Domain file.

  • What hosting platform must i use with iweb? unix or microsoft

    what hosting platform must i use with iweb? unix or microsoft? This is a question from my ISP.

    You should always pick Linux hosting and NOT Windows - this causes more problems than it is worth.
    If your ISP is asking this question, then consider changing - they should know this.

  • Designing Embedded HTML Page with iWeb

    I designed a html page with with an embedded html page within it. It all looks fine in iWeb, but when I upload the page to the intenet and I try to view this page it does not come up properly. Although I initially see the page come up as I designed it (for a fraction of a second) it then disapears and I only see the page I embedded on my page.
    I added the following codes in HTML Snippet:
    <object data=http://www.mls.ca/PropertyResults.aspx?&vs=Residential&ret=300&curPage=PropertySearch.a spx&sts=0-0&beds=0-0&baths=0-0&bt=1%2c16%2c17&atsg=%2c&ci=cartierville&pro=4&mp= 500000-0-0&mrt=0-0-4&trt=2&of=1&ps=10&o=D width="600" height="400"> <embed src=http://www.mls.ca/PropertyResults.aspx?&vs=Residential&ret=300&curPage=PropertySearch.a spx&sts=0-0&beds=0-0&baths=0-0&bt=1%2c16%2c17&atsg=%2c&ci=cartierville&pro=4&mp= 500000-0-0&mrt=0-0-4&trt=2&of=1&ps=10&o=D width="600" height="400"> </embed> Embedd a web page within another web page. </object>

    As I said, the above pages come up fine in iWeb but not when I search them with Sagari.
    Can someone please help with this. Thanks, Padano

    This is the proper code :
    <iframe src="http://url.to.file.html" frameborder="0" width="500" height="500" scrolling="no" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
    You can also use this :
    <div style="width: 650px; height: 650px">
      <script language="JavaScript">
        location.replace('../../../your files.html');
      </script>
    </div>
    Source : iframe alternative in the HTML Snippet
    And on this page you can see how to use <object> for html, png and jpg files :
    Embed content with the <object> HTML element

  • What's a good web design software to use with hype.

    I didn't have luck with sandvox, rapid weaver, or highway. It seems that iWeb is gone and im trying to transition into a diffrent html5 compatible web software. I would like to learn web coding but for now i need a quick and efficiant transsition. I've came across Hype and its great but iWeb can use it. I would love to hear some suggestions on what everyone else is using (not including previously mentioned apps).

    No, iWeb has not gone anywhere.  It is correct that Apple no longer sells it or supports it, but iWeb is an application like any other on your mac and if you have it you can most definitely still continue to use it.  It works with Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion and by all accounts, it will work with the new Mavericks too.
    You can do a search of this site and there are literally hundreds of posts on the same topic of new web design software, but you can take a look at Flux 4, Freeway Pro/Express 6, WebAcappella 4 and Quck n Easy Website Builder.  Other than that, you are then looking at Content Management Systems such as Joomla and WordPress.
    You can also take a look at EasyWeb which is a new app being developed by Rage Software - it has not been released yet and is still in its beta testing stage, but this is closer to iWeb than most.

  • Can visitors download full-sized photos without using the iWeb photo page?

    Neither the photo page nor album page suits the needs of my site, so here's what I would like to do:
    Import my pictures into a blank page. Instruct visitors to right click to save.
    Will they be saving a full-size version of the photo? Or will it save a thumbnail?
    An alternative is to make the thumbnail itself a link to a page with a larger version of the same photo.
    By not using a pre-formatted photo or album page, I do not have access to the iWeb download photo quality selector (it's grayed out in the menu).
    Thanks for your help.
    Greg

    The quality that you upload will be the quality that viewers can download.
    Here's a way to do it without using a Photo template......

  • Itunes says that 5 computers are already authorized to be used with my account when trying to play music that will not sync to my Ipod, but when I go to deathorize all in the store, it says only one is authorized. If I deathorize in the store and Itunes

    10 GB of the 30 GB of music on my computer will not sync to my Ipod. This started after I got a new PC w/ windows 7 on it. All of the music, that will not sync, is music I bought and paid for through Itunes. When I go to the Itunes store it says I have only 1 computer authorized (the one I am on). When I try to play the music that is not getting synced, it says that 5 computers are already authorized. I have tried deathorizing the computers from Itunes and Itunes store. I have also tried deauthorizing the account. I am getting the same result. I have tried DRM stripping software but all seem to need Itunes or WMP to play the music in order to be re recorded without the DRM. In my mind there must be some simple way to really get the computers deauthorized from my account and be able to play the music that I paid apple for. Does anyone have any suggestions or is this common for apple,s products to do?

    In order to get those to work you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard, preferably the full 10.6.8 combo updater.

  • A website I use with forums shows everything as bold all of the time when normally they are not bold after I read them.

    I have installed a new version of FireFox and when I open a page it is all bolded. I have read a few posts and they have stated to download new fonts. I have tried this and it has not worked.
    The issue is not present in IE so I would imagine fonts are ok. I tried to download an older version of FireFox and the issue is there as well.
    I am using Windows 7.

  • When I send a webpage via email, some of my recipients are unable to see it properly. The website was made with iWeb, and a Mac person advised me this was the best way to do an email campaign with iWeb, but it's not working for a lot of my customers - why

    I have recently created a website for my family's business. When we bought the Macbook the guy in Apple said the best way to send an email campaign to our mailing list was to publish a hidden page, find it in the browser on Safari, then share it via email, so that is what I do. For most of my customers this works fine, however I have a number of people each month who cannot see any of the content of the email. I have added an 'If you can't see this email properly...' link at the top of the page, with no shapes or images etc near it, but even that does not appear for them.
    I am a self-taught novice unfortunately, so haven't a clue what the problem is. I'm not sure of the operating system, but we bought the Macbook in May and it has all the recent updates installed. I have just had a new baby so can't get into the store fdor a one-to-one, so if anyone could explain why this happens / what I can do about it, I would be very grateful! Thanks!

    If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
    If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

    This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

    The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

  • What is an easy web-page creation program for use with MacBook Pro?

    Can anyone suggest an easy web-page creation program for use with MacBook Pro?  I have used FrontPage with my PC, but am changing to a MacBook Pro.

    It largely depends on your skill level. Do you want to write web page code, or do you want to just design something and have it turn into a web page automatically?
    If you are more of a designer, try these:
    RapidWeaver
    Freeway Pro
    Muse
    If you want to write web page code, try these:
    Coda
    BBEdit
    Dreamweaver
    If you really don't want to write the code and want the best experience for your viewers, and you want to spend the least amount of time on it, my recommendation is:
    No program at all.
    Instead, sign up with a web site company like:
    WordPress.com (hosted by them) or WordPress.org (hosted on your server)
    Squarespace
    Wix
    The reason is that these companies have fully operational, nicely designed web site templates that you just fill in with your words and pictures, and they are ready to go. They also give you these benefits:
    Already designed to the latest web standards
    Already designed to resist hackers
    Already designed to work on all browsers
    Already designed to automatically adjust the page for readability on desktop, laptop, tablet, and smartphone screen sizes
    Already designed for accessibility
    Already designed for Search Engine Optimization so that your page will be found on Google
    Already designed with social media links built in if you want
    It is not like the old days where you build a site in Front Page and you assume it will only be seen on a desktop computer. If you build it yourself with a web page program, do you have the knowledge to make a site that works on all of the different web browsers and mobile devices, and is friendly to search engines and social media? If you don't have those skills, working with a website company can be a lot better, faster, and more reliable than trying to hammer all of that out yourself using code in some app.

  • Will changing to 08 remove all my iWeb sites already designed and published

    I have a ton of web sites already designed and published with iLife 06 and my dot mac account. I bought iLife 08, but before I install it, I want to make sure it's not going to delete my sites. Does it automatically put them into 08 or what? If it does put my other sites into 08, are they still editable then in 08?

    You will not lose any of your already published and saved iWeb creations. The only problem I ran into when I updated was that most of my text hyperlinks were a different size font and the navigation menu at the top was aligned slightly differently (I had a graphic behind mine). Just little tweaky details like that. That change is only on your saved iWeb files on your computer, which means you can fix it before you upload it to the web for all to see. You will probably only have that problem if you modified the default template fonts like I always do. If you stuck with the templates, you should be fine.
    Once you do update, it is worth it! You are only able to do more than before without losing anything you have already created, at least in my experience. There are a ton of little things that get me closer to creating the website I envision - like being able to choose the hyperlink colors and formats.
    So install it and enjoy without any worries. In my book you have nothing to lose.
