Iweb '08 and Lion

I have upgraded to Lion OX.
When I now open iweb basically all of the options under 'File' are greyed out and there does not appear to be an 'Open' command shown.
Does iweb 08 not work with Lion?
Scotty

Rodney,
many thanks. I thought that might be the case.
I suppose it was in the small / miniature print somewhere. Maybe I should read it next time!!
Appreciate the heads up.
Cheers....Scotty

IWeb 09 and mobile me and Lion

Does iWeb work in LION when publishing to MobileMe?

What part doesn't work?
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 or 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 08 and Mountain Lion. . .am I screwed?

Hi. Recently got a mid-2011 Imac with ML installed at the time of purchase (not my choice).
I've read you can still get Iweb to work on this OS even though it's not "officially supported" or some such.
I was hoping I could port my site created on the old computer to the new one. I found the "sites2.domain" or whatever the weird filename is for the iweb site, created an identically named folder on the new computer in what seemed to be the right place, and dropped it there. Don't know how to actually make Iweb use that, though. when I opened Iweb it acted like it was going to start a site from scratch. I thought maybe saving would create a directory where I could place the old site file, so I tried to save, and it crashed.
So is this no good? Am I doing something wrong or do I need a newer version of ilife ('11?)?

If you stick with iWeb 2 (08) you are screwed as it is not compatible with Mt. Lion. Get a copy of iWeb 3 (09 or 11) and you'll be able to use it to manage you websites.
NOTE: if you think you might want to use iDVD at some time in the future get a copy of iLife 09 as that will get you both iWeb 3 and iDVD with all themes. iLIfe 11 doesn't not install all iDVD themes.
Once you get iWeb 3 installed read the following:

Use iWeb in Mountain Lion

Hi Guys
I wanted to great a hompage with iWeb during my exchange year.
unfortunately I realized that mobileme was shut down so I can't use any of the widgets ore publish the page.
so do anyone knows if ther is a way to use iWeb?
would be great!

iWeb has two other publishing options...

... and there are plenty of choices for hosting...

You can find alternatives for most of the MobileMe only features...

I've lost iWeb and thus my web design. I must start from scratch. Should I reinstall iWeb 09 and use that, or is there a better way?

The file you really need is named Domain.sites2 which resides in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb foldler. It's independent from the iWeb application. If it's not in there do you have a backup of your hard drive from an earlier time?
Resinatll iWeb 3 from the iLife 09 disk or wherever you got it from originally and then try what's described below:

I have iWeb '08 and just switched from Mobileme to GoDaddy and using Filezilla. Now when I make changes through iWeb it doesn't actually publish to my desktop folder. In fact, it doesn't publish at all but says that it did.

Publish an iWeb site using Lion Server

Does any one know how to publish an iWeb site using Lion Server.

HELP!!!

I solved this by turning off passive mode. I was using iWeb and Rapid Weaver for creating websites and had the same problem. Now they both work fine on the transfer. Hope this helps.

Created site in iweb 08 and posted to netfirms... the pages are all loaded up but there is no nav bar, it comes up on each page as a small black dot. How do I get the nav bar to load up and show?

I created site in iweb 08 and posted to netfirms... the pages are all loaded up but there is no nav bar, where the nav bar should be is only a small black dot on each page. How do I get the nav bar to load up and show? It was a disaster loading up my site as it changed the case of the letters and at first no pages were seen, so I had to go through and change the letters that were supposed to be cap, back to cap in every file. I don't know if this has something to do with it or not. The tech support doesn't have an answer. Please let me know if you have any ideas and solutions. Thanks bunches!

AEBS and Lion Server DHCP

Hi All!
I have a scenario I want some input on.
1 Mac Mini Lion Server 10.7.2
1 TC 2nd Gen
x iPads
x iPhones
2 Lion clients
I want to use the Lion Server for all collaboration services, and use Profile Manager to provide central management of iOS and Lion clients, and I want to use network accounts on the server.
All is set up and working well, mail, ical, wiki, addressbook, VPN servers, profile manager settings, apart from one thing. how do I best push DNS server settings to the client to point to the server?
In the TC there are no way to set what DNS server is served to clients. That would solve my case in an instant. Now all clients get the ISPs DNS servers, or pass-through of whatever DNS server is set up on the TC.
I have 2 possible solutions:
1. Set up TC to only provide 1 DHCP address reserved for the server, and then use DHCP on the Lion Server for the internal clients. This will work as it has been tested by other users here on this forum.
2. Set the DNS server on the TC to point to the local Lion Server. I actually just came up with this idéa as I was typing.... maybe that is the answer? The inernal clients get the internal server as DNS and the server uses forwarders or roothints.
What do you think? If you have this combo, TC/AEBS and Lion Server, how did you solve it?
/Hasse

Hi All!
I actually found the solution myself. Soluton 2 does the trick brilliantly! I can't imagine why I didn't think of this before. I have searched this forum for a solution too, but this just was too easy . The Lion Server advanced admin guide didn't mention this either, even in the chapter about AEBS coexistance.

How can i update my old 2006 iMac Intel core 2 duo running 10.6.8 to OSX Lion so that I can sync using iCloud with my newer devices? Mountain Lion is not an option for my older model and Lion is no longer available at App store.

Call Apple's online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac Apple Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).

Ever since installing iCloud and Lion my computer is slow or freezes. The color wheel comes on and My work stops. I have only a small window of time where my computers will function normally during the day. I know many others that have the same problem.

Ever since installing iCloud and Lion my computer is slow or freezes. The color wheel comes on and My work stops. I have only a small window of time where my computers will function normally during the day. I know many others that have the same problem. I'll get 20-30 minutes of work done and then a sync or something comes on, the color wheel of death shows up, and my productivity is shot. I have to shut the computer down the hard way! when it comes back up, it is still either frozen or slow. I've checked in at the genius bar and all they say is that there have been some problems that Apple is trying to fix. It effects Mail, Contacts, Safari, Calendar....yeah, pretty much everything. My iPhone and iPad are not effected as much so I end up doing what I can with them. I've seen the blogs out there and understand that many have the same problem. I have been waiting to read about a fix but I have found nothing! Any ideas?

Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow the system down.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
For startup issues... open System Preferences > Users & Groups - Login Items. Delete any apps listed there then restart your mac.
And disable the Lion "resume" feature.
Open System Preferences > General
Deselect: Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
And Spotlight may be indexing... you can turn that off > Turning Off Spotlight | Mac Tricks And Tips

An error occurred while publishing file "/Web/Sites/iWeb/Jim and Steph's Si

I'm guessing this is a common message most see when they try to publish their website. Reason I say this, is it is the only message I have recieved in the last week when trying to use this faulty software.
Here it is again if you missed it:
An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites/iWeb/Jim and Steph's Site/Jim's Blog”.
I got this MacBook week ago yesterday. Totally excited to share pictures and blog information. Spent 99 dollars or close to it for a mac account to simply share this information on the web. The first four pages (all pictures), I published worked well. Then I updated to iWeb 1.1.1 and tried to publish with blogs and more pictures and it won't work. Now all that I published before does not even come up. I emailed support here on mac.com and got the generic reply that I have already read on this forum. I tired as many fixes as I could to no avail. Two questions:
1. Any ideas to fix this problem?
2. Can you get your money back?
Sorry this was so long.
Thanks everyone,
Jim B

Jim...
Try doing a "Publish All to .Mac" if nothing else works for you. And if I could make a recommendation, it probably wouldn't be a bad thing to simplify your site name (Jim and Steph's Site) and eliminate the apostrophes (also in Jim's Blog). A longer site URL with complexities such as punctuation and spaces and even capitalization can potentially wreak havoc on your site navigation and function. Simplifying your site and page names will at the very least lead to shorter and more recognizable URLs...and when you start to add more pages it will also make the navigation menu at the top of your pages look "cleaner". Think simple names, like "oursite" and "HeSays" or "SheSays"
Just a suggestion.

External hard drive Snow Leopard and Lion compatibility?

I am going to install Snow Leopard on my Mac (so I can then purchase Lion and install THAT into my Mac) but it only has 975 mb of memory left. So, I've decided that I need to purchase an external hard drive so that I can transfer some videos, songs, etc. to create more space on my Mac. My question is, what external hard drive will be compatible with Snow Leopard and Lion? I was going to purchase a Western Digital external but I've heard many problems of it being incompatible with Lion. What's a reliable and compatible brand that I could purchase? I'm looking for an external hard drive that hold at least 500 gb.

I think your analysis is kind of harsh, kurt.
'garbage'? really?
Sure, some familiar paradigms have changed, and change brings pain - or at least, unfamiliarity - but that doesn't necessarily mean they're bad.
Of all the changes you mention three things that you consider abominations...
UI changes more in line with iOS. Sure, and this is bad because...?
It's clear that Apple see the iOS as the future, and it makes sense to unify the experience - at least where it makes sense. You don't actually mention which elements you consider bad, BTW.
The scrolling seems to be the one most often cited, but to me it makes way more sense to manipulate the document directly, rather than manipulate a scroll bar that works inversely. I'm not sure what other UI elements you're concerned about.
As for the Save As... issue, the change to Duplicate makes a lot of sense when you understand the concept of automatic file saving and versioning. There's never a need to 'save as' in order to create a point-in-time backup since you automatically get point-in-time backups just by using the OS. The only reason it makes sense to to force a branch and for that, 'duplicate' makes sense. If it bothers you, just read 'duplicate' as 'save as'.
The big break here is that versioning requires application support - the developer needs to add it to their app code - and that creates inconsistencies in the short term because not all apps support versioning. That will fix in time as developers release updates to their apps.
As for bugs, the current release is 10.7.2, so that's two revisions past the original. Any major release (of any applications, not just an OS) is going to have some number of issues and some people avoid any .0 release just for that reason. I think the concensus is that by the time you get to .2 most of the issues have been resolved. Can you point to any bug in 10.7.2 that directly affects you and your use of the OS? or are you basing your statements on outdated material?
In short, every major OS release, from every OS vendor has some number of changes that confuse and upset users, and some number of short-term pain while application developers and users get up to speed. Lion is no different in that respect, and if you look back in history you'll see the exact same sentiment for Snow Leopard's release, and Leopard's, and Tiger's, and..., and..., and...
To call it garbage, though? I think not.
