IWeb 08 - Issues - I can't Believe It..
Installed iWeb from the new iLife08 pack purchased at the Apple Store in Birmingham UK on to my G5 Tower (Pre Intel)
Once directed to the original domain document I noticed that all the pages in the margin was red. So I saves it. I then tried to publish it and the program bombed out.
Restarted the computer and tried again. same thing happened.
Checked for updates and updated it. Then tried again. The had the following issues
1) Lost all images from my previous webpages as well as galleries from photopages
2) Adjustimg images that have been dragged over from iPhoto, change with the adjustment and then revert to original state
3) Some images dragged over from iPhoto don't come with their original colours for some reason
I am still trying to repair the exensive damage this upgrade has done. 3hrs on and I am less than 10% through the rebuild.
I am gobsmacked that Apple has released a product like this which is clearly not right. What a sad day it is.
There is another thread that answers some of the Photo problems on this forum: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1078666&start=0&tstart=0I have just wasted 13 hours of my life on iWeb08 for nothing.
It converts pictures from a pro setting of AdobeRGB to sRGB and adjusts them adding contract and saturation.
Having rebuilt my website a number of times I have had to give up on iWeb. If it is going to reprofile images it should do so with out changing the contrast or the saturation.
Having spent ages adusting the colours on over 100 images to be correct on a corrected screen in photoshop. I am not about to re-adjust them to a poor amateur profile.
I purchased iLife08 for its google search widget function only and some minor improvements. I didn't expect it to ruin everything. Gutted. I wanted to revamp my existing website using the new iWeb and now can't.
I have just taken the step of ordering Freeway 4pro instead to build a webpage instead.
The iWeb on iLife is a disaster IMHO. Please Apple sort this out quickly before I have to read a whole new instruction manual.
Sorry to say, but for me iLife08 has been a total waste of money as thing stand.
If anyone else has any ideas please let me know.

Ive gotten 3 responses from you guys. But still no help. Can't believe it's taken this long for apple to respond to this issue and I'm very disappointed that all I did was take precaution from left to my account info and my account has been disabled since. Sad that we can't do any updates to equipment I've spent so much money in. Hope this is resolved real soon.
Who exactly are you addressing this post to? And what exactly are you posting? We are just users like you, and have no idea what you are referring to. If there is something you would like to ask - user to user - please do so. Otherwise, you are wasting your time complaining about Apple, since we are not Apple.

Firefox 4 Menu Bar - When I hover over or select a menu bar item, the menu bar sub-menu becomes transparent and unreadable. Is this a known issue that can be corrected with an update or is it functionality that is not designed to work with this version?
If this happens on monitor 2 of 2, this problem has been solved here:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/794823#answer-157988
Go to "Firefox"--> "Options" --> "Advanced"
Then un-check "Use hardware acceleration when available"
While not verified, I believe this problem is due to an SLI configuration where the focus is on monitor 1. (I.e acceleration is available, but only on monitor 1.) -
After this 1.0.7 OS upgrade yesterday my PB still will not open TXT or HTM file attachments, Bridge files will not recognize MUSIC or VIDEO files on the PB or my PHONE. I have previously filed a support claim about this to get it corrected and each time RIM ends up sending me a link to a page saying these files are not supported. Well, I went to support to file another claim about the above problem and I get the following message!
Unfortunately, your BlackBerry® PlayBook tablet does not qualify for Complimentary Support. You can, however get assistance using incident based support from Research In Motion. With BlackBerry® Incident Based Support, you can receive support from the BlackBerry Technical Support team by providing your credit card information (American Express, MasterCard, Visa) before your support issue is addressed.
I received my PB 92 days ago and they still have not fixed it and they want me to PAY! I can't believe this!That is simply incorrect. Contact your country's Blackberry Playbook Tech Support and give them your playbook PIN or serial number. They will be able to help you, because the 90 day period is being extended, for free. If the agent somehow tells you you have to pay, demand to speak to a supervisor.

I have a few issues maybe someone can help, I have created a website to be published to an FTP server. iWeb asked if it should replace the old website. First issue the upload took ages only to come up with the error cannot resume publishing, near the end of the upload. On the web it still showed the old website but only the home page. Then I downloaded Transmit, logged on the the ftp server, only to find the old website and the new iWeb site on there. I then proceeded to delete the whole lot, published the website to a local folder then uploaded the contents to the ftp server. This seemed to work, but the following happened, instead of the site being www.theafricahouse-zanzibar.com it is www.theafricahouse-zanzibar.com/www.africahouse-zanzibar.com/ . This is a problem, cause what I know of html is that the site is not in the home directory.... but there was no home directory for the previous web site.etc. and does iWeb not do this himself. This is issue No1 can some one help with this?
Issue No. 2, I've created a slideshow in iPhoto exported it to Quicktime converted it for web, sized it, then placed it on the website, in iWeb under the Quicktime I tab in inspector, I removed the movie controller, I ticked loop and autoplay, this does not appear to happen on the website. But it does work when I view the site in Safari from the local published folder on my HD. Can someone help?
Issue No. 3 The navbar does not work at all period not in iWeb also not on the web nor in the local folder... can someone help?
Issue No. 4 The lovely fonts that came with iWeb seem to go missing, and replaced on the web with some horrible font and the color changed, this is just ridiculous actually, in the local folder the font stays in some places and some not and color changes etc. Should iWeb not rasterize the font and convert it to smart objects or something, or embed it into the code and send it with the media files ? Can some one help?
Then issue No. 5 The logo's I've placed on the site have transparent backgrounds these are fine in iWeb but on the web, and after publishing then to a local folder and viewing with Safari the backgrounds appears black, which in this case looks horrid! Can some one help?
I seems like what you get in iWeb you don't get on the web?
Please help!!! I don't know much about web developement/html but I think there might be something wrong with the source codes, and that there is problems in the CSS, and that they don't load correctly there might be
spaces in the code, I don't have the time and patience to check, when Apple should know better. Also are the sites created in iWeb compatible with IE, Firefox, etc.
Because the following java scripting (quoted from the site iWeb coded) source code is not compatible with all browsers...
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/iWebSite.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/Widgets/SharedResources/WidgetCommon.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/Widgets/Navbar/navbar.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Welcome_files/Welcome.js"></script>Hi
This might be a conclusion to issue 3. Make sure that nothing is overlapping the nav bar as this then will hide it and you cannot see it. If you go to arrange/show layout you should be able to see what is overlapping what. The other thing you mentioned is items moving, this could also be an overlapping problem. You might have to set up wraparounds on some on your pics or text etc. With regards to fonts you must use web safe fonts. The fonts that you are using do not come with iweb they are supplied with your mac. If you want to use a certain font and it is not web safe you must convert it to a picture by adding a shadow then turn transparency down to zero. Web safe fonts are Arial, Georgia, Geneva etc if you type in web safe fonts on this forum you will find a list somewhere. Hope this gets you started.

my iWeb image names are incompatible with FTP servers and must be renamed but I can't find the images in iWeb. I can upload to a desktop file and change them there but then I would need to download them to a new site in iWeb to publish them.
What's the answer?
ThanksMany thanks to responded to my question and sorry not to get back sooner.
Yes, I discovered by this unfortunate experience that the names of photos are a serious issue if the site is to ever go to an FTP server. Apple should discuss this carefully in their "manual".
One more question: I uploaded the website to a folder on my desktop. When I open it, unlike the photos in iWeb, there are folders for each page which have all the photos in them. I went through each folder and changed the names to be FTP compatible. I'm using iWeb SEO Tool which allows one to upload from this local folder to an FTP server but having trouble.
Is this because there is an imbedment in iWeb that uses the old photo names to link to the actual photos and it can't find them because of the name changes?
Thanks again for your help ...

A happy K1 customer - one issue (I can live with though)
I see a lot of people complain about the Lenovo K1. I bought one around early December. I can't believe how handy it is (I now feel everyone should have a tablet). By the way, I bought a Samsung 10.1 Galaxy a while back and returned it. The big difference I think is Android 3.2.1. It is faster, more stable, and improved the compatibility with other android apps.
Anyway, here is what I like about the K1. It is reasonably priced (I paid $289 for 32gb version), great screen, very good build quality. It also has a port for additional memory and hdmi out. I haven't used these last features yet.
So here is my issue. It failed to boot properly one day. I was pretty concerned that I now had a brick, but then I looked up the waranty and it is 1 year. I thought that was really impressive for what I paid. So the service tech said I had to send it back (took about 20 minutes to go through some menus then some testing and gathering my information). I thought that would be a 2-3 week service time considering what I paid. I sent it priority mail, Lenovo emailed me when they received it, one day later they are sending it back and they gave me a confirmation code that is was sent Fedex.
Anyone who complains about these devices are nuts. They are great, the waranty is great, and the service is great.Read this thread afew days ago. Wasn't going to repy, but will now. @wab0111 - Devices like these shoul never have to be sent in for service or repair for a software only related issue or failure. When properly maintained, the end user should have a way to back up and restore the device without sending it in.
Many of us have been waiting months or longer for a true user replaceable image for our K1's. Consider this... Would you still feel the same 4 months from now if your K1's OS became corrupted again, would not boot and you had to send it in, lose use of it and incur the time and expense for this endeavor?
Warranty should be in place to cover hardware related issues/failures.
I'm enjoying my K1 as well, but would like it more if I had the ability to restore it myself if neccessary.
Thanks,
Ricochet

I purchased a season of a TV show from itunes and it won't go onto my ipad, i've purchased several seasons in the past and never had this issue, how can i fix this?
Drew how is that even possible? I use gift cards all the time, any time I've had insufficient funds iTunes will not allow the purchase, sights Insufficient funds and rejects the purchase. Any time I log into my account the money in that account appears in the upper left corner. If you're not seeing that then you have other issues. Anyway... Kneil is right you should be able to rip CDs you own to your iTunes library (regardless of your money matters with iTunes), then depending on how you set up the music you need to add it to your playlist and then sync it to your iPod. Did imported music ever work? How are you ripping or importing the music to iTunes? Are you using a compatible format?
Something else to look at-- It's possible your cable is defective, have you tried a new or different cable? Some of what your describing is a bad cable issue. Good luck, Cheers. -
iWeb is not working for sending podcasts to iTunes, so I need a new web building tool. What is the closest thing to iWeb that I can use, which also supports podcasts?
There's no reason you can't go on using iWeb for this - with iWeb '08 you have to publish to a local folder (i.e. on your Mac) and then upload the contents of the folder (not the folder itself) to your hosting service: and you have to make sure you enter the new URL in the Publish information or the feed won't work properly; this done, an iWeb podcast should work fine.
Of course there is still the problem that iWeb is not supported and sooner or later a system upgrade may break it. You could look at RapidWeaver: you can make podcasts with that, though the last time I looked into that - which was admittedly some time back - I didn't feel it was ideal for this. There are lots of other podcast creation programs or services around. WordPress is OK but it may be a bit of a steep learning curve: Libsyn is an online service that seems to work reliably. Blogger writes messy feeds but does usually work. Podcast Maker used to work well - I used it myself a few years back - but it rather looks as if it's gone moribund and it may not be reliable with Lion/Mountain Lion, so you would want to check into that. -
I have a Windows 7 Professional, 64 bits on my computer and have recently installed iTunes 11.1.3.8. but i started having this msg :"The folder iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this folder" issues: how can i solve it?
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownneship from an account with administror privileges.

840 pounds to fix my Mac! I can not believe in Apple anymore
I have used iphone, ipad and quite happy with Apple for a long time. Then, I bought a brand new Macbook air 2014.
Last Saturday, my friend drop some water on the face of my Mac ( when i am closing it down, and no liquid fell into my keyboard). So how can i think someworkng will happen?)
In Sunday, i tried to turn it on but nothing happen. Therefore, I brought it to Genius Bar- Covent Garden to ask for a help. Surprisingly, they suggest I should go to Istore to fix this and ignore to help me open it out to dry things ( U know that it is quite harmful that u leave it for a long time)
I had to book an appoitment so I came back to my home in Southampton. The Genius Bar Southampton said it is 840 pounds to fix- much more than buying a new one.
i Bought it for 3 months. So i lost everything after 3 months, and Apple did not help me to reduce the harm, Macbook is quite sensitive with water, they said that water destroyed my mainboard, hardware, keyboard( no water drop to it? just in cover) It is quite a nightmare!UPDATED: my friend just fixed it out in 30 minutes and cost 0 pound. Can u believe that, my Mac is now run smoothly. He is working in computer engineering, and i dont have to pay money for any mainboard, keyboard, hardware,..He said that just a chip went wrong and it takes 30 minutes to fix it.
I am sorry that I have not expressed my opinion in detail. I already known that it is neccessary to pay money to fix because liquid is not guarantee in Apple 1 year polIcy. But i am not happy about Apple attitude to help me fix my problem. AND the cost is EXTREMELY high, now i cost 0 pound to fix it. And do not have to change anything.
IT is true story, u guys can check my appoitment in Apple store Genius Bar today( Southampton), and I wil show u my Mac' image now.
THank for your comment, at least u are caring about my case;) -
Recharging my iPod shuffle (3rd gen.) on my 2009 iMac (OS 10.5.8) goes extremely slowly (via usb port at the back). This is mainly because recharging stops when my mac goes to sleep. I just can't believe that Apple doesn't have a sollution for this, but I haven't found it yet... What's the most efficient way of recharging?
Purchase a wall charger for it instead.

Ques;How do you secure imail when used being used in iweb. People can mess
How do you secure imail when used being used in iweb? People can mess w/my settings in iweb imail window.
What is iMail?
And what is an iWeb iMail window?
iWeb is part of iLife 06 which is an application used to create websites hosted on .Mac.
Are you referring to Apple's Mail application and webmail access using a browser such as Safari to access your .Mac account?
Which people can mess with what settings? You shouldn't allow anyone else to access your Mac when logged in to your account and home folder/directory. OS X was designed for multiple users of the same Mac with each regular user having their own computer login account (with or without admin privileges) and associated home folder/directory to store and access their data and settings for their login account only. -

Apple didn't release it. Thier stance is upgrade to FCP 5.
