Installing Iweb templates

Hi,
I have Iweb on an Apple Ibook G4 1.33Ghz 512MB RAM laptop. It came with ILife installed and I'm guessing it's version 6. Can anyone please guide me as to how to install the Iweb templates please?
Thanks Much,
Napster16

You guessed wrong. The latest version is 3.0.4
You can see it in the iWeb menu > About iWeb. Or select iWeb and do Command-I (Info).
The iWeb themes are stored inside iWeb. To go there, copy the line below :
/Applications/iWeb.app/Contents/Resources/Themes/
In the Finder, do Command-Shift-G and paste the line. Hit Return.
Right-click any theme and choose Show Package content. Open the Shared folder.
You can buy themes, or get them for free :
http://www.iwebthemespark.com/Gifts.html
Or search for it : http://www.google.com/search?q=free+iWeb+themes
And here's a dated explanation how to make them yourself :

Installing Custom iweb templates?

I have downloaded some iWeb templates, but I don't know where to put them so that they appear in iWeb. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank.

RB if you got the templates from my site, then the instructions are here:
http://web.mac.com/sboben/iWeb/11Mystics/Documentationfiles/Install_NewTemplates-1.pdf
If you did not get them from my site, be sure what you have is actually a template and not just a domain.sites file.

IWeb template file locations, ect.

Where are the iWeb templates and other iWeb trinkets located on the HD? I checked the iWeb file in my library but it was empty. Some help would be appriciated, I think I might have accidently deleted them, and I don't want to go through with re-intalling OS X tiger for the third time. Thanks guys!

I'm not sure what has happened to your iWeb installation, but it sounds like a reinstall of iWeb might be in order. I don't think you would have accidentally deleted the templates on your own. Though, I have actually heard of people losing their templates after updates, especially from iWeb 1.1 to 1.1.1.
The straightforward, no-nonsense recommendation from me would be to do a reinstall of the iWeb application itself. You DO NOT need to reinstall the whole OS X system. If you have the iLife'06 disc, then use that. If iWeb came preinstalled on your computer, then use your OS X install/recovery disk. But don't select to reinstall the whole system...just select "Install Bundled Software Only" and then customize for iWeb only. This will reinstall iWeb 1.0 in all likelihood.
Then download the iWeb 1.1.1 update dmg directly from Apple and apply it immediately after installation of iWeb...

Hopefully after this process, your iWeb templates will reappear.

Just installed iWeb '08, but my sites are all gone?

I think is happening alot here? I have several sites that tooks weeks to build for my home businesses on iweb. I bought iLife'08 since I thought it would be good to have a few more iWeb templates to choose from. I installed and now all my sites are missing? Please, please, please don't tell me they are gone. I will literally smash my macbook pro and go back to working a 9-5 job again if my business websites are gone. I thought iWeb '08 would just be an update to the one I had been using all along??
Thanks for your prompt response (I hope its a good one!)
Jason

Thanks for your help and posts.
What I absolutely am frustrated with (enough to even go back to my old PC lifestyle) is that I thought iWeb '08 was an upgrade, much like what they did with iPhoto '08. Why did the other programs in iLife '08 update all the others, but iWeb wiped out my old websites?! I only wish there was a real answer. I guess I will have to pay another $3850 to have my sites rebuilt. Thanks for nothing Apple, I was dedicated and spent thousands on your products until now. I really don't have the money to reinvest in my website re-creation so I guess they will sit stagnant and my subscriber base will fall with time.

Remove iWeb Templates

i have iweb09 and i installed some templates and they are crap. Can someone please tell me how to remove it.
thanks

Check with the developer from where you got the theme and see if they have an uninstaller for it. Here's a way you can try on a backup of the iWeb application:
1 - open the iWeb application package: Control-click on the app and select Show Package Contents.
2 - type Command+F to bring up the Search window.
3 - set the search for iWeb and file name.
4 - enter the theme name in the search field.
5 - delete all items that the search produces. They will all have the theme name in the file name.
6 - close the package and launch iWeb and see if it will work OK.
*Be sure to have a backup copy of not only the application but on your domain.sites2 file(s).*

How do I install iWeb on the NEW Macbook Pro running Lion?

I just got my MBP replaced from the one running Snow Leopard to one running Lion. I have a web site that I run with iWeb and I am trying to figure out how I can go about installing iWeb on Lion.

Here's the iWeb forum:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iweb

I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have bought a copy of Apple iLife 11 on dvd a so that I can install iWeb and idvd, when I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate

I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have just bought Apple iLife 11 on dvd so that I can install iWeb and iDVD, as macs no longer ship with these apps. When I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate.
Next problem is that when moving through the installer and get to custom install, as I only want to install iDVD and iWeb, I am presented with the option to install iDVD, Sounds & Jingles and iWeb, but not sure what is going on with the other 3 options iLife Support etc, they seem to be greyed out but still look like they may install over the top of the newer versions already on my imac. Is it ok for me to just go ahead and hit install? Or do I have a problem?

Yep, just install iDVD (plus sounds and jingles) and iWeb if you want it (but note that iWeb apparently won't work if you upgrade to Mountain Lion).
Then use Software Update to get any late iDVD updates.

The cool little features in iWeb templates

Hi all,
I was just wondering how to get the cool little add-ons that the iWeb templates have on my site?
For example, iWeb has scissors on one of the sites. Their are also others like.. doodles, post its, "hello, my name is" I know I can simply cut and paste, but I'm looking for additional add ons. is there a stock pile of these somewhere on the web or maybe on my mac?

You can add scrolling banner text, blinking text, mouse rollover, Fancy Zoom, Show and Hide text and many other enhancements.

"You cannot install iWeb Update on this volume. A qualifying copy of iWeb was not found in /Applications" How do I fix this?

"You cannot install iWeb Update on this volume. A qualifying copy of iWeb was not found in /Applications." How do I fix this?

Version 2.0.4 is iWeb 08 and direct publishing via ftp is not available in iWeb 08 and never has been. You have the option of publishing to MobileMe, but you can publish via ftp, but you need to select the option publish to a local folder instead and then upload using Cyberduck, which is a free and dedicated ftp client.
If you want the inbuilt ftp function, then you will need to upgrade your iLife package to either iLife 09 which contains iWeb 09 or iLife 11, which also contains iWeb 09. For this, you need to purchase both of these packages. Either go to Amazon and try and get a copy of iLife 09 more cheaply or purchase iLife 11 directly from the Apple store.
This is what you will need to do and iWeb 08, which is the version you have, never has had built in ftp so that option will never be available to you unless you upgrade which you will have to pay for. Upgraded and updates are different things. Updates are just your normal run of the mill software updates and address bug fixes etc., whereas you will need to pay for full upgrades to other packages such as from iLife 08 to iLife 09 or 11.

Installing iWeb 2.0.2 is the worst nightmare ever

When I first instal iWeb 2.0.1, all was wrong but one day started working, this was until the patch of iWeb 2.0.2 when again everything was wrong again, I do like a lot iWeb and I have a lot on my .mac account I even have 20GB of hard disk in my subscription, but this is the tip of the iceberg for me, probably the lasts weeks I have the .mac account, I have been waiting for a fix like most of iWeb users that are on this forum, and what I see is mac really not listening to the clients of iWeb, this is probably the worst Update mac has ever had, we users of mac knew that mac always test the software on the users, but when the users have a business based on their web pages like me and probably a lot of other users, then Apple is affecting third party and not the regular users.
I really don't know what to think right now of this update, but is definitely not working for a lot of users that we are desperate that Apple hear us.
I know probably Apple is having the finishing touches of Jaguar (nice) but we the ones that are affected with iWeb 2.0.2 are having way bigger problems and there is no one in Apple who really is looking at the problem.
My sites are this ones:
www.cinematograf.com
www.soloenmexico.net
I wish I can continue working with Apple but if this problem persists I will be forced to leave .mac and never come back because of this bad taste on this issue, I will probably use Dreamweaver and rent a hosting plan with better things than .mac.
As you all can see I am really mad and ****** about this issue and I am shure I am not the only one.
Do you think like me?
Adolfo

Jon,
When 08 came out, I Correct al my pages, I re did all of them, so that is not the problem, I even had to almost kill my whole site in order to it work perfect, that was when I had 2.0.1 then Apple send us the update for 2.0.2 and it was then when It stopped working at all.
With 2.0.1 there was problems and we all fix them as .mac told us, but with this update 2.0.2 there is nothing to fix there is probably not solution, so a lot of us are desperate, and we just wish to go back to the settings on 2.0.1 they worked fine (at least the last 2 weeks of version 2.01).
Then as you see my site: www.cinematograf.com is huge and www.soloenmexico.net (lives from the comments) (the last one has already 90 publications that makes it a 3 month old site (yes I made it with '08, in full) I can't think of loosing all the comments as that gives the site self promotion, the problem is that I had been already since "9/13/07" that I can't publish a thing it did work for a day on "9/24/07" as you can see on the site, but that was the last day it worked since then we can't publish a thing, the problem of that particularly site is that it was growing a hype and one day off we loose public opinions and one week off we loose fans, so is not really cool of mac to keep us off like this

HT1338 How do I install iweb on my mac?

Please advice me how I could install iweb on my mac. it came without it.

You'd need to get iLife 09 (Which has it) and install it from there.

Does and one know if you can change the navigation menu at the top of the iWeb template pages?

Does and one know if you can change the navigation menu at the top of the iWeb template pages? I need to make the background a little wider.

It depends on which template you use.
You can also hide the default navigation and build your own which allows more freedom of design and is better for search engine optimization...

Make sure you use web-safe fonts in your navigation...

Can iWeb templates be modified?

I last used iWeb to set up a travelogue in 2006. I have 3.0.4 ('09, I think).
I may be remembering why I didn't use a template before--because I wanted something I couldn't get with the templates.
Am I correct that I can't change a background or text color, or choose to center text which is flush left on an iWeb template?
Karen

Jeff, you're a prince. I've printed out your last posts & dragged & dropped the 2 samples to my desktop, from which I can then use them I was able to do the web browser background instructions. It worked! Cool.
I'm sure this will turn out to be embarrassingly self-evident, but how did you 'copy the page background image and paste it into preview'? It has no 'handles' allowing it to be selected. Nor could I locate 'Preview'.
Now trying the paper maneuver you explained, I'm a bit stuck. What do I select for 'Page Background? I now have removed the Formal Theme text boxes, have changed footer pixels to '0', and have a horizontal rectangle of the ivory paper there. How do I make it disappear so I can then replace it with the size-able box as you describe?
By the way, I noticed right off in your video was how you changed the width of the page immediately. How did you choose 900--and I forget the vertical pixels you chose but will check again. I hate how small the page content size is. Is there a 'standard' size these days for website width & height?
Again, thanks.
Karen

Free iWeb Templates and other goodies?

Hey, it's me again!
I was looking for FREE iWeb templates but I haven't been able to any find free ones or great ones.
Do you know where to get them?
I was also looking for other free goodies that are on iweb, such as little doodles and pieces of paper. You know what I mean?
Do you know where to get them?
You're always appreciated :)

Always nice to hear from you.
As you, I did an extensive search (3 months ago) on Google and Ask, only to find out that there is a poor choice of great / free templates for iWeb '08.
There are 1 or 2 "user understandable" manuals on how to make your own templates, but I found it less time consuming to choose the "blank" template from a theme, adapt it myself with the tools provided in iWeb and then copy this "custom adapted" template.
I know this is not the answer you are looking for but it is the best I can provide.
Hopefully, someone else has found the gold somewhere...
Kind regards,
Leo

Lost iWeb Template

My iWeb template for my website seems to have disappeared. I have searched high and low within this iMac to find it but cannot. I enjoy posting to my site and would like to continue to do so. Can you help me find my template or suggest other ideas?

When you launch iWeb do you get your web site? If not what do you get? If you do see your web site then the domain file has to be somewhere on your hard drive.
If you don't get your web site in iWeb and can't find the domain file that contains it you'll have to recreate your site from scratch. Read Paragraph 2.3 of this iWeb FAQ site for tips on recreating the site from scratch with some of the file from the online site: http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebBackupretrieve.html
To help recover from a a similar incident in the future you should consider instigating a backup strategy. I've created an Automator script to copy the domain file to the Documents folder. It can be used after every session in iWeb so you have a current copy. Download it from Toad's Cellar.
