IWeb '09 upgrade not publishing site

With apologies - I have exhausted the forums looking for an answer that will work, and have found none.
I recently (I know I'm behind) upgraded to iLife '09. I just attempted to update my webpage using iWeb/MobileMe.
iWeb completely announces publication completion but the changes are not made when I visit the webpage through FireFox or Safari (or when I click view page now through iWeb).
What I have attempted thus far to fix the problem:
- Clearing cache, cookies, and history.
- Apples suggested resolution of discarding library preference files, iWeb folder, etc in the trash and republishing.
- Upgraded all software.
- Yes, I rebooted too.
Does anyone have any suggestions what-so-ever, because right now I want to throw my computer through the window?

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
Go to File > Publish Entire Site
If that does not resolve the issue:
To ensure iWeb and your Site are functioning correctly publish your site to a local folder http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iWeb/3.0/en/24906.html
If the site looks good when you open up the folder version then we know the issue is not with iWeb or your website, but with the server you are publishing too.
Are you publishing to MobileMe or to an FTP server?
If you are publishing an FTP server you may wish to contact your host to have them remove the site manually so you can re-publish fresh.
If it is a MobileMe site you may with to contact MobileMe www.apple.com/support/mobileme.
Hope that helps.

How can I publish the alterations I have made to my iWeb pages when the ' Publish Site' button and 'Publish Site Changes' on the file dropdown are grey?

this is a perfect question for the users in the iWeb forum. https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iweb. Good luck.

IWeb not publishing site updates

Starting today - 5/18/09, A site I have in iWeb is no longer publishing updates. The site publishes to my mobile me account, and is redirected to my domain. This is the page in question - http://www.pitassidesigns.com/Portfolio/Web_Design.html
Besides the code iWeb puts out I have added the favicon code, and Google Analytics Code. For some reason when I made some changes to some images, they do not appear as they should. The first image should be swapped with the second, and now the second image is gone. The google code, and favicon code it still there, and I usually have to re-input it after updates. Also the page in iWeb remains red, as if it was not published. I tried to delete that page and file folder from my idisk, and iweb doesn't publish a new one as it should. I tried restarting and nothing. I tried publishing the whole site, and it remains the same.
Any help would be great, I don't feel like manually writing this page out in Dreamweaver, iWeb is so much easier.

Ignore this. As usual when I decide to post this it works on the 10th try. Not sure what happen there.

Can not publish site iweb 08

I have a old site running and the new site will not publish
any one know why?

iWeb '06 published to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb.
iWeb '08 publishes to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites. Go to this folder on your idisk and see if there is anything there.
Your iWeb '08 website URL will be.....
http://web.mac.com/username/WebsiteName/PageName.html
If your new files are in the Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites folder, enter the URL in your browser to visit.

IWeb 09 will not publish

I just upgraded from iWeb 1.1.2 to iWeb 09. I then made a number of changes to my website. I have attempted to publish the site dozens of times since I made the changes. The site will not publish. The publishing process seems to be correct. I get the "site has been published message, but when I visit the site the changes are not there.
Has anyone out there had this problem?
Thanks,
Jack

Versions of iWeb previous to '08 use a domain.sites file and published to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb.
iWeb '08 converted the file format to domain.sites2 which was not successful for a lot of us. I ended up rebuilding all my sites. This version also dropped the iWeb folder on your iDisk and publishes to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites as does iWeb '09.
Also .Mac was changed to MobileMe for some reason.
You will note these differences in the two URLs.
I have never tried to convert a site made in '06 to '09 without going through '08.
As I pointed out, the conversion is not perfect and you should deleted and redo the sections that don't publish correctly.
If I was in your situation, I would start afresh on a new, blank domain file and copy the content that you want to keep over from the published version of your old site to the new domain file..

IWeb '08 Images Not Publishing and Image Distortion in Application

I created a website a couple of years ago and recently noticed two issues:
1) Images I included on the site are now not showing up on the published site, but still appear in iWeb '08 app.
2) Images and graphics in iWeb '08 app are barely showing up. It looks like images that were really over exposed, but the rest of my computer shows colors and images beautifully.
Anyone else run into these issues? How should I fix it?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Actually, somehow, I just solved both problems. I opened up iWeb 9 and it seemed to resolve both issues. Sorry for any confusion.

When will iWeb allow editing of published sites?

I use iWeb with several colleagues and clients. I understand it is not meant for a lot of business or organizational use, but believe me, it is being used that way an awful lot for iWeb's great graphic templates, ease of manipulation with groups present, etc.
Its one drawback is that it cannot be used collaboratively. Only one person can do any editing, and so anytime that a single period must be added, the original author must do the editing, even if others have write access to the web file space. This makes for really clunky operation in the team-oriented web environment of all but the most personal of websites.
I realize that iWeb generates a bunch of files when a site is published, but we need a way to have iWeb read the published fileset and reconstruct the pre-published site so that it can be edited and re-published by someone other than the original author.
I know the iWeb team, like all Apple teams, can handle this technical challenge. And I know that Apple, wanting to create the user experience where things "just work" the way users expect, will agree that users have come to expect files that can be edited by other users using the same product.
So this feature should be a top priority for iWeb 3. I'm sure others would agree.

You are just talking to other users here. To tell Apple something, use this link:

Links work in iweb, but do not publish

NOW the "post new topic" shows! Links made in iweb to external webpages work in iweb, but do not work when I publish to my folder or upload them to my server for my website. The links to other pages within iweb & the email links work in my folder & uploaded. I have redone my page & all links several times & it always works in iweb, but then don't work in the folder when I publish or upload. Even links that start with http:// don't work & my setting are correct for it to recognize them. Thanks so much for any help.

I don't understand. When I made the page the first time, I put the pics on it (page is 1270 pixels wide & fits on my 17" monitor & displays fine in iweb & when I go to the website). & then made the text boxes & sized them to fit around the pics & typed the text in. I tried doing the "wrap" in inspector, but the type just went over the pics & didn't wrap around it. I put the links for the ffrco, nuvet, email & menu in separate "insert link" boxes. The other links were from a copy & paste from the Nuvet website. All links worked perfect while in iweb. but only the email & menu links worked when I published to the folder & uploaded them. iweb is way different to use than Pagemill3, which is what I created my original website on 6 1/2 years ago. But my first computer melted down inside & I don't have the program that created it & the new computer won't take the software that worked on OS 8.6, so have to do the whole website now from scratch & having a terrible time. There are other issues, but the links thing is the most frustrating.
When I redid the page again, I copied & pasted the whole page onto a new page that I had sized & added the background to. The links all worked in iweb & when they didn't work when published to the folder or uploaded, I rechecked the web addresses for all the links & even reentered them, though they were the correct links already in there.
When I made my homepage, I made it to fit a 15" monitor, so anybody could see my website without scrolling. A good friend told me I had the last 15" monitor still in use & to make it fit my 17", so I did.
Thanks so much for looking at it. I really appreciate all your help. I have printed the manuel & been reading that & going to the Help section & I just can't figure it out.

Reloading iWeb with a previously published site

I published my Site using iWeb to my .mac sites folder, and then wound up reinstalling my operating system. How can I get my published site back into iWeb so i can continue updating it? Please tell me i dont have to start over.

Hopefully you made a backup or did an Archive & Install before reinstalling your OS....
If you did, then you should have a copy of your domain.site file, it lives here: User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.site. (.site doesn't normally show)
Place this copy in a safe place somewhere else, this is your web site! (This, as with all regular backup procedures is good practice when playing)
1. You have made a copy of your existing domain.site file
2. Open iWeb, the new version.... Add a new site / page, then do File > Save. (This tells iWeb where the domain file should be, you are creating a new one)
3. Next quit iWeb,
4. Swap the new domain file for your old one which you copied and saved somewhere safe.
5. Reopen iWeb and you should see your old site.

IWeb Navigation Bar Not Publishing

When I am proofing my site I am getting an unknown publishing error. When I look at the what downloads I am not seeing my navigation bar or my Blog. I can't see anywhere in the troubleshooting why this would happen. Help?

Where are you seeing the errors in your website: in a locally published site or in the online site? What browser are you using?

Iweb revisions not publishing - site looking crazy. why? what to do?

Hey there
I'm trying to publish my site (www.whereidstay.com) - and it keeps publishing a crazy version for about 3 of 7 of the pages, with enornous and misplaced text, etc. I've tested the connection to the ftp server, and that seems to be working fine. I'm not a pro at this stuff, so I'm stumped!
Any ideas? I'm hoping to send out a blast email today since our business will be featured on HGTV's House Hunters Intermational tonight, but i don't want to if the site looks crazy!
With thanks in advance
Ashley

First clear your browser's cache (Command+Option+E for Safari) and reload the site. Check the pages to see if they appear corrent now. I loaded your site and it appears OK but I don't know if any text is missing. What's there looks OK.
If there's missing text can you include a screenshot of the page in iWeb for comparison?

IWeb Widgets gone from Published Site Hosted by GoDaddy

I have been using third-party widgets to create components for my iWeb (3.0.4 version) website. They are Beyond iWeb Pro-Pack items. (I copy to iWeb html snippet code windows the code from the Beyond iWeb Pro-Pack widget and hit "apply" and they work in TEST mode). I tested everything on my site to a local file prior to publishing the site to the internet. Upon publishing to the internet, none of these Pro-Pack widgets are visible on my site. They all functioned fine when they were in Local file "TEST" mode. They don't even appear as blank boxes or question marks (which has happened when I have incorrect paths). I wonder if it is the pathways to GoDaddy? I have spoken to GoDaddy techs about my dilemma and they only say the path to my webroot is:
/public_html
This I don’t understand. Don’t I need http://www. ….. and other file references to get to the specific file in my webroot at GoDaddy?
Beyond iWeb Pro-Pack widgets I am using:
Apple Style Video Gallery (Youtube or Vimeo)
Simple Hover Effect
Panoramic Slideshow (Smooth Div Scroll)
Photo Slideshow
When I created the Pro-Pack widgets for iWeb I used file links (through GoDaddy hosting) like http://www.wildmonkeysproductioons.com/images/WMP_VIDEO_PHOTOS/....specific photo.jpg
or---inside the cover path [in Apple Style Video Gallery (Youtube or Vimeo)] or a Youtube link in the video path (example): http://www.youtube.com/embed/LWWLM8QhVaw?rel=0
I also have non-Beyond iWeb Pro-Pack generated widgets like Youtube video widgets that are also missing from the website. I believe the problem is not with my Pro-Pack widgets but with my pathways to GoDaddy.
Does anyone have any suggestions or helpful ideas?
I do not understand website building very well and website code, for sure, I do not know.
Dan

I took your advice and changed some file and folder names. I then updated my widgets to create continuity of connection with their files and photos in GoDaddy's File Manager. Now the BeyondiWeb widgets [Panoramic Slideshow (Smooth Div Scroll)] no longer recognize the path to them. No matter what I use as a path the link is broken.
GoDaddy says the following is the absolute path: /home/username/public_html/
My user name: wildmonkeys
Examples of paths are below:
http://www.wildmonkeysproductions.com/public_html/WMP_Website_Banner_Photos/2013 _MCA_Symposium_GRAND_CANYON_Presentation-26_Dan_small.jpg
/home/wildmonkeys/public_html/WMP_Website_Banner_Photos/2013_MCA_Symposium_GRAND _CANYON_Presentation-26_Dan_small.jpg
/public_html/WMP_Website_Banner_Photos/2013_MCA_Symposium_GRAND_CANYON_Presentat ion-26_Dan_small.jpg
An example of a previously successful linked path (prior to file and folder name changes):
http://www.wildmonkeysproductions.com/WMP Website Banner Photos-small Jpegs NEW/005-RIVER DISCIPLINE-02 Dan*-small
Any ideas?

IWeb opening older not current site

In perperation for Mobile Me services ending, I transfered my site to another hosting company several months ago.. All was going well and I've continued making changes to the site using iWeb, and and the FTP connection to the current hosting company. But not when I launch iWeb it displays a very ole version of the site, not the current live site.
Is there a solution to this, other than manually modifiying the entire content of each page to update it and then re-publish?
Thanks for any help.

Make sure you have only one domain file in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Then tTry the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
reboot.
launch iWeb and try again.

IWeb taking forever to publish site!

I added a page to my website and am trying to publish it to my .Mac account. The rest of the site was created with iWeb '06. I've been trying to publish the changes all day, but it just hangs and hangs. Does anyone know what's wrong?
Thanks in advance!
ETA: OK, it published. But the hit counter at the bottom of the new page isn't there. I republished it and, same thing. What happened to my web counter??

The .Mac server is fairly slow and not very reliable. Sometimes when it hangs like that its because you're not getting connected to .Mac. You should try again and also try at a different time of day.
It can also be due to a problem with your own internet connection. If you are using a hi speed DSL or cable connection its worth while resetting the modem every now and again by cutting the power for about 10 minutes. I leave mine on all the time so I have a habit of resetting it at least once a week.

Adobe Muse Not publishing site as designed - elements all over the place.

Hi - I've been working on a landing page for a site and although the design is exactly as I wish - when I publish the site various elements are thrown all over the page.
I've attached 2 screenshots illustrating this, and a URL. www.marchdental.ca/march-dental-welcome.html
Thank you for any help you can give me!
Rob

Hi David and Mr. Burro - many thanks for your replies - my apologies for not replying sooner!
In fact, David - you've nailed it. I had inadvertently pinned some elements to the footer and so they would drag downward in larger browser windows. My thanks to you for pointing this out!
Cheers!
