Inability fo finish publishing to .mac

I'm trying to upload a couple of image galleries to .mac and everything about the generation of the pages goes fine, then at some point Aperture stops and I get a message that there was an error uploading to .mac (it seems the connection to the account is fine). Unfortunately, there is no clue given as to what the error is or how I can work to fix the problem.
This issue is consistent; on a larger upload, the problem comes up sooner than on a smaller upload. I have plenty of space available in the .mac account.
Any clues as to how I can publish to .mac? If I publish directly to iDisk (haven't tried yet), will the gallery open in a browser at the address as if it were in the homepage area of .mac?
Many thanks for any help.

Is this the very first time that you have tried to publish? How many pages is your website?
60 hours does not seem like a correct estimate of time to copy the folder to idisk.
You could try doing a small "test" site and seeing if that will publish. You would have to make a copy of your iweb Domain file. In finder go>home>library>application support>iweb>domain. Click once on the domain file and then go to the File menu and select "duplicate". Now you have 2 domain files. Create a folder, title it "original website"(or something like that)and put it on your desktop. Then drag and drop one of the Domain files into that file on your desktop.
Now you can open iweb and delete your site(don't panic you have a copy). Then just go to the File menu in iweb choose "new site", choose "blank page". Insert a text box and write "anything". Then hit "publish". If it works, then close iweb, go in and delete this domain file, replace it with the one from your desktop with your original site in it, open iweb and try publishing again.

Publishing to .mac

I had my website built through iWeb and published to .mac but then my computer seemed to crash (which I thought wasn't supposed to happen with Mac). Anyway, I have finally finished rebuilding it through iWeb and want to publish it but I can never seem to publish the entire site. The first few pages are published but nothing else. I am not sure if it is having trouble because my internet connection is just not fast enough or what. Is there a way to publish a page at a time? Thanks.

When viewing in Safari have you cleared out its caches and tried again? If that doesn't work and you're only getting those two pages try the following to make sure the site is getting generated completely.
1 - a publish to a folder on the desktop and check the site with Safari. If all is there continue on to #2.
2 - mount you iDisk in the Finder, go to the Web/Sites/iWeb folder and look for your site's folder and the index.html file that should be there. Delete both.
3 - republish your site to .Mac and check with Safari.

Site won't finish publishing

I have multiple websites and I recently separated them into different domain files. Each domain file is in a separate folder and each is named domain. The problem I'm having now is that the sites won't finish publishing. The circle goes around and then stops, not always at the same point. I used to have this problem on occasion but now it's happening the majority of the time. The sites publish to folders without a problem. I'm using the publish all to .mac command.

Make certain that the site(s) have not actually published.
Close all other internet-dependent activities, like any browsers that may be running. Discontinue any syncing that may be going on; in fact, turn syncing off and leave it off. Launch your Activity Monitor.app, and from the file menu choose Window/Network. You will see a black box at the bottom of the window.
Now choose a Domain.sites file from your folder system, launch the Domain and File/Publish all to .Mac. Click on the Activity Monitor window, and observe the Network activity...it is quite possible that regardless of the publish error, the iWeb application is continuing to upload to .Mac. You will see it in the monitor.
If this doesn't help and the sites are truly not uploading completely, you can always publish to the folder and then manually upload the site. I don't recall ever seeing a report of a publish error using this method. Of course, you lose some .Mac functions when you publish to a folder.

Event invitations not published to .mac web page with rest of calendar

I've published a calendar to the .mac web server successfully, and the web page for the named calendar shows up fine in browsers at the appropriate URL.
However, when I receive an invitation from somebody else, and accept it, and put it into that (published) calendar, that event does NOT get published to the web page. Any idea why?
Example
- Joe uses Google Calendar to invite me to a meeting
- Google calendar sends me a .ics file in email
- I open the .ics file (click in Apple Mail, which launches iCal)
- I view the invitation in iCal; then change the status to "Accepted" (from Invited), and change the Calendar for this event to the Calendar I've published on .mac
- (iCal properly notifies Joe via a reply .ics via email that I've accepted)
- iCal is properly updating my schedule on .mac for all other events besides this meeting invitation; but the meeting invitation does not get pushed to the .mac web page for my calendar
Item of note: In this use case, I am NOT the event Organizer; somebody else is. Is this why iCal doesn't do it? Or is there something I'm not setting correctly in iCal? Or...?
This renders .mac-web-published calendars effectively useless, since a good share of my calendar is made up of people who email me .ics invitations, and (for various reasons) the person who manages my schedule has to use the .mac web UI for my calendar to know when she can dish out my time. (She doesn't actually put things in my schedule; just allots time.)

Hi Al,
I can't seem to reproduce the bold/highlighted link thing over here on my end. I have loaded your page on my Safari as well as on a PC using IE and FireFox. All looks okay.
Perhaps try emptying your browser cache and reload the page. Maybe this will clear some cobwebs and let you see the page properly. Good luck!

IWeb publishing to .Mac/iDisk- interruptions: does connection speed matter?

Greetings,
I posted an earlier message somewhere in the iWeb08 forum regarding my suddenly experiencing lack of completion of publishing iWeb site to .Mac. Publishing just stops - no error message comes up. I have however noticed that my internet connection has been also varying in speed - down to a few dozen kbps in the last day, which is when I started experiencing this problem. Does connection speed affect such publishing? in other words, if connection speed goes down tremendously, does publishing to .Mac sort os "times out"???
Will appreciate input!

More than likely you are seeing a cached copy of your website. Sometimes this is a local phenomenon and a simple clearing of your browser cache does the trick (Safari>Empty Cache). However sometimes your ISP is the culprit with caching at their level. This seems to be a chronic problem with ISPs in the UK for some reason. And the only thing you can do is to wait it out.
You can try adding a "?" to the end of your URL to force Safari to fetch a non-locally-cached copy of your site, but even this won't help if your ISP is overzealously caching material.
Anyone in the UK can shed light on this ISP phenomenon???

IWeb page didn't publish to .mac

I created a web site in iWeb and chose command "publish to .mac" when it was ready. I got an error message saying it didn't publish, but not why. (Yes, I already have a .mac account.)
The page also does not appear under the URL http://web.mac.com/[YourMemberName]. (With the latter part filled in correctly, minus the brackets.)
Worst of all, I cannot find the original iWeb site, only the index copy saved as a Safari file, so I can't attempt to republish.
One, where did my original work go?
Two, why didn't it publish, and what can I do to fix it?

To see the problem go to http://web.mac.com/robruhn
I don't seen any problem. Perhaps it is just your local browser cache? Try clearing your cache and using another browser.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how the pc
user can form the link?
http://web.mac.com/robruhn should work just fine, unless the person at the other end is mistyping it or something. I would suggest that you get rid of the space in your site name and republish, as that might cause problems for some systems (i.e. change Site 3 to Site3 or Site-3 or Site_3).

Publish to .Mac/Publish All to .Mac

Under file I have the option to "Publish to .Mac" or "Publish All to .Mac." What 's the difference?
Thanks,
Pasquale

Hi Pasquale!
How are you? I hope you are having fun with iWeb!
"Publish All to .Mac" tells iWeb to publish each and every file of your website to your iDisk.
"Publish to .Mac" is the default publishing action. The "Publish" button in the lower left corner does the same thing. When you first publish your site, iWeb has to publish everything from scratch. But subsequent publishing only uploads the changed files, which saves time. This only works on .mac. So, the bottomline is that you should probably use the standard "Publish to .Mac" under normal circumstances.
Sometimes when problems crop up, one recommendation is to use the "Publish ALL to .Mac" option to lay down your site from scratch again. It's like erasing and publishing over again.

Publish to .mac AND other server

Question:
I already publish to .mac - no problems there. I need to publish another website on another server. I published to a folder, used Fetch to upload it - works great (I know I lose some of iWeb's features, but that can't be helped).
Here is my question - now when I publish to .mac - the second site I created for the other server loads on my .mac space also. This is not a huge deal - I have no links from one site to the other, it just seems like a waste of space. Is there a way I can choose to upload only my primary site to .mac and not the other one as well?
Scott

Hi Scott,
The best thing to do in your case is to separate your two sites into two separate Domain files. That way the two sites can be edited and published independently from one another, so you don't have to have both sites uploaded to .Mac.
If you are in sort of the beginning stages of doing this second site, it might be easiest to start over in a new Domain file. If however, you do not wish to start over with the second site, then splitting off this second site to another Domain file can be done as well.
I'll refer you to a page put up by Mark Heaton (Apnewbie) on the process of domain separation...
http://web.mac.com/mark8heaton/iWeb/DomainSeparation
You might also find this iWeb helper application called "iWebSites" useful in managing your multiple domain files and creating new domain files, etc...

Publish to .Mac vs. Publish All to ,Mac

I am using iWeb v 1.1.2, which I know how to use and is satisfactory for my needs. I do have a question, however. What is the difference between the command "Publish to .Mac" vs. "Publish All to .Mac?" I usually use "Publish to .Mac" as this seems quicker and does not seem the change the .js and Slideshow.html files that I hack to autoplay the audio, eliminate the reflections, etc. Although I don't seem to have any problem with this approach, I would like to be sure that I am not missing anything.
Thank you.

James,
Good question. I realized I wasn't sure myself. Here's what I found in iWeb Help:
"When you publish a site, all the sites and pages you changed since the last time you published are published. In other words, you can't publish only selected websites or webpages; your published websites always match the sites and pages in iWeb.
You can publish all your sites and pages (not just those changed sinced you last published), by choosing File > Publish All to .Mac. You might want to publish all your pages if, for example, you accidentally delete your site from .Mac, if you change .Mac accounts and want to publish to your new .Mac account, or if you discover missing links or pages in your site."

Publish to .mac with an existing domain name

I was wondering if anyone has published to .mac with and existing domain and kept it. I have had my business under this domain name for 15 years and do not want to change it at this time.
Thanks

I believe the issue is solved as the domain now points correctly to BC servers , it was probably a propagation delay.
Thanks,

Problem Publishing to .Mac

I created a one page site and tried publishing to .mac many times. It seems to take forever (well beyond 30min) and I finally get a message that says there was trouble updating .mac. I have 1024MB of idisk space and can't figure out what the problem is. I am new to this and mac's in general so any help I can get would be greatly appreciated. I'm a teacher that wants to start posting podcasts for his students to review and do some other cool things with.

I tried publishing again and got the message "trouble reading idisk quota".
Anyone with similar problems or solutions?

Poor image quality when publishing to .mac

This is very frustrating.
I buy a high resolution, high quality, royalty-free image. I resize it and crop it in my image editing program and save it as a maximum size .jpg.
I preview the image in Apple preview, and also drag the image into my web browser and it looks crisp and sharp.
I put the image on my iWeb page and publish to .mac. I check my site and the image looks horrible! It looks as though it got compressed again on the lowest setting.
Something very weird is happening to some people. I've read other discussion on this but they are all unresolved.
I'm a graphic designer and I've used dreamweaver and published to other servers. I know about image quality and optimization. I'm doing the same steps and procedures I've always done to optimize images and I've never had this problem except when I publish to .mac.
There is a very weird and serious issue going on and I hope someone can resolve this or has an answer.
Why would an image look crisp and sharp when I view it in my image editing program or in Apple preview, but when publish to .mac it gets re-compressed?
This may sound silly but do you think Apple is doing this randomly and automatically to users to save server space on .mac? Maybe they think people wont notice or care?
I am very upset and frustrated and I can't think of any other reason why this is happening.
Any advice is helpful. Thanks!

James,
Thank you very much for your help.
Here is what I did. I used Apple grab and took a screen shot of my iWeb page where the low res graphic was in position.
I used this as a "template" for cropping my original image in my image editing program to the exact size I needed.
I cropped my original image to the size of my "grab" template, deleted the template layer and saved the sharp image as a maximum file size .jpg and placed it into my iWeb page, with "use original size". It fit perfectly in my layout and looked sharp and crisp.
Now, I published my site and checked the image.
You were correct! The image came out crisp and sharp, no more quality loss.
To test your theory, I went back to iWeb and placed an iWeb mask around the same image and re-published it.
Sure enough! The same image that was once sharp had terrible image loss.
So I guess you're right, adding any effects to an image creates the image loss.
Well, this is a terrible shame because I really like some of the border effects. For example, in a photo gallery, you can use an effect such as a slight page curl with drop shadow that appears only for the thumbnail image but the when you click on the image full size, there is no page curl, just the pure image.
If I create this slight page curl effect and drop shadow in my image editing program, then both my thumbnail and full size image will have this effect.
Not only that, but in order to get the thumbnail image to lay over my background color, I would have to re-create the page curl effect and place it on a border of the same background color as my page layout. When someone clicks on my thumbnail they will now get the full size image with the page curl effect and a slight border of the page color.
Also creating this effect in my image editing program will make it more time consuming when I want to change layout styles, because when I create the page curl / drop shadow in my image editing program, I have to change the background color around each image to match the new background color I'm using for my page. Doing this for 20 images every time I want to change my design is allot of work.
If this is what I have to do, then I have no choice. But at least I would like my thumbnail to have the effect but NOT my full size image.
How do I do this so only my iWeb thumbnail image has this effect without iWeb forcing it to a PNG and loosing quality?
Thanks I appreciate you help!

How to publish to .mac without using iWeb?

I have made my website at home and published to a folder on my portable HD. I'm now away from my home Mac, and, as seen in a thread below, I can't reopen in iWeb at work to publish to .mac.
How do I 'publish' to .mac? - is it as simple as copying the Sites folder to my iDisk? If I enter my iWeb URL will it link up with the iWeb pages/files I have uploaded to iDisk?
As you can tell I'm not a web designer!
Thanks in advance, Lee.

Ah, so regarding the previous thread about editing
published iWeb websites, you could theoretically keep
backups of the respective data files with their
websites?
Yes. And you should always keep such backups if you want to avoid having to recreate everything when something goes wrong.
I presume when the data file is replaced in the
Library the application opens up in that website,
rather then offering a choice of new templates?
That's what should happen, yes.

When I restart my Mac, the grey screen appears like usual. But it takes more than 40 minutes (more) for it to load to finish restarting the Mac. What should I do?!

Disconnect all devices from your computer if you have not already done so. Restart again. If the problem has been resolved, you had a peripheral conflict. You will then have to reconnect the devices one at time, restart, to locate the culprit.
Login Items is another culprit. Check your login items.

Delete/disable all you do not need or want.
