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 will not publish after 1.0.1 update

Just chiming in that I am having the same problem. I add a page to my site and it logs in to .Mac but crashes during the upload with the message "Publish Error: An unknown error occurred." And I just spent 30 minutes talking to the applecare people and they had no idea what to do. So, as many of us here have done, they suggested I back up my pages from where they were saved to my hard drive and then re-install the original iWeb off the disc over the old version.
(For this advice I bought AppleCare? LOL!)
I'll give it a try, but will have to live without the update for now, and hopefully I won't lose the pages I've already worked so hard to build. I will also send feedback to Apple. Hopefully they will come up with a fix for the problem once they realize so many of us are having problems.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hello,
I'm having big issues too!
I can't publish my site anymore. It was fine, then I made the usual updates to my site (new pics, etc u name it).
Tried to publish it, it took ages, then at some point I got "Error while publishing: an error occurs while publishing the file "pagetop10.png".
http://freak6767.free.fr/Temp/iWeb%20error%20ju.png
I'm publishing to my .mac account straight from iWeb.
I do use a symbolic link of the "domain" file on both of my G5 and PowerBook, so I can run the original "Domain" file off my iPod.
But it's not the cause here, cause even running off the domain file in the iWeb folder didn't solve the problem.
The G5 is still on 10.4.3 and iWeb 1.0, while the powerbook is on 10.4.5 and iWeb 1.0.1, so, again, I don't think it matters as I still can't get the site to be published without getting an error. (it's a different *.png that can't be loaded everytime)
I've tried erasing my whole site on my iDisk, and republish all (hold option key in File>>Publish), no luck...
I just don't get it!
Help! lol

IWeb will not publish to Mobile Me

I made several changes to our iWeb site last night and have published to the default Mobile Me location. While everything seems to publish correctly it obviously isn't happening.
All the changed page icons in iWeb remain red instead of turning to the published blue.
The old site is there but several pages/links are missing and the correct password for the photo galleries does not work.
Ideas on how to resolve this issue?
I am currently republishing to see is that resolves the issue. This is the 3rd re-publish.

SOS! iweb will not publish due to a mobile me error...

Ok, I am so incredibly desperate for someone to help me. I'm hoping this has happened to someone else and they can tell me what I need to do.
I have created an iweb. Wow it looks great etc. I signed up for Mobile Me because I wanted to be able to publish it. Mobile Me signs in on the internet...however when ever I try to 'publish' my iweb and log into Mobile Me through my computer it says there is a validation error. But I am using the exact same username and password online and it lets me in.
I have contacted the mobile me online support team and they helped me troubleshoot...so many different things. It turns out it isn't connected to a mobile me error apparently..
Has this happened to anyone else????? The website is my professional portfolio and I need to have it up and going for my interviews!
Please help!!!!!
Thanks so much!

It might sound oversimplified but it could be that you have old login/Keychain items that have become corrupted or misrouted (it happens).
Try downloading Onyx for your version Mac OS and running ALL it's maintenance and cleaning routines (it's a free app). That will clear out old log/Keychain and login items without affecting your current viable passwords.
If that doesn't work you may need to use the Keychain First Aid tool to fix your login credentials stored on your machine. You can find it in your Utilities folder on your Applications folder, open the Keychain Access app and run the First Aid tool.
If neither Onyx nor the repair tool helps let us know.

TS2167 iWeb will not publish?, it keeps giving me an error

What version of iWeb are you using and what system are you running? What are you using to upload the files to your server?

IWeb will not Publish. The publish icon stays red and no changes are made. Please help.

The question says everything. When I click "publish site," the world icon at the top of the screen stays red (instead of whirling about and turning blue), and no changes are made. When I exit the program, it says, do you want to exit while changes are still being made?
This is confusing, since nothing seems to be uploading according to the icon. The website really needs to be updated and I welcome and appreciate any and all help. Thank you.

See this page for an axample of publishing settings...

If this doesn't get things going try the second method - publishing to a local folder - to see if that works.

Iweb will not workif I try to post a video with music in it.

Hey folks thanks for all your help in the past AAA+
New Prob: I have split all my sites onto new sites and everything has worked fine for two years now, Then I tried to add a site with old family movies which has film from the first races in Watkins Glen, really cool stuff my Grand Dad Lou Teemley took. Any way I had some music on there from my I tunes.
Then I tried to publish and I got the old error message, not connected to the internet etc...
So I made a new site and put the films on their on site etc... still will not publish and now my main site can not be found and I can not publish that site either. What Gives???? Thanks

Kurt:
You might try a different way of adding the video files to the web page. This demo page has one where the file does not load until the play button is selected: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. This demo page has 9 short videos on it using that method: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes. Just add a screenshot of one of the movie frames or any photo you want and add the Play button on or below it.
You manually upload the movie file to your server so iWeb is not involved in the uploading the file at any time.
Similarly this demo page, QT movies via iFrame, has a method that has you manually uploading the file to the server and linking to it via iFrame code. That page also has other similar methods.
Another method is demonstrated in Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site on his Video page. Here you also upload manually.

Which parts of iWeb will not work on third-party servers?

Hello,
I'm migrating my site so some new parts
I would like to know exactly which parts of iWeb will not work on third-party servers.

Features Unavailable When Publishing to a Non-Mac Server:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
From iWeb 3's Help
In addition, unless iWeb is modified by Apple or yourself the forward, back, pause and play buttons of the iWeb slideshows will not display once the MMe servers are taken off line:
However, if you follow the directions in this tutorial you can work around that: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.

My iweb would not publish. I made a desktop folder. How do I publish the folder to iweb on mobleme?

My iweb would not publish, I made a desktop folder for my iweb pages. Now how do I publish that to mobile me?

When you have iWeb open, in the navigation column at left, click first on the NAME of your site that you wish to publish -- when you do this, you should have the Site Publishing Settings show up in the main window at right.
Next, from the popup choices next to "Publish to:" select MobileMe.
If this is the first time you are doing this, you will need to type in your MobileMe account (name or email address), and make sure the proper email contact address is input, too.
If your site will be public, you'll all set; if you need to apply privacy settings, you do so here, too.
Now, click on the "Publish Site" button/icon at bottom in the toolbar, or select the same command from the menu bar in iWeb, under File. For the first time, you should choose "Publish Entire Site" (and be patient, it will take a while). Later, when you make changes, use the "Publish Site Changes" (much faster).
When your site is published, iWeb will present you with a sheet window with options to immediate View your site online in your browser, announce it to others (via Mail), or just hit "OK."
Gooooooooo iWeb!

In iweb changes not publishing

Since changing from mobileme server to ftp server, changes to website made in iweb do not publish?

If you are uploading your website files using the iWeb FTP, any old, existing files should get overwritten automatically. Try switching to another browser like Google Chrome or Firefox to view your site.
To find the file manager you need to login to your hosting account.
You can use the freeware Cyberduck to upload files and manage files on the server but it doesn't allow you to view the files on your Mac in the same window as the ones on the server...

How do I reinstall iWeb 3.0.3? I inadvertently opened an html file of my website and tried to open it with iWeb '09. I get a message saying "Can't open file" etc., etc. I've tried reinstalling the updated version. Iweb will not open.

How do I reinstall iWeb 3.0.3? I inadvertently opened an html file of my website and tried to open it with iWeb '09. I get a message saying “Can’t open file” etc., etc. I’ve tried reinstalling the updated version. Iweb will not open.

Delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. Then launch iWeb and see if it opens.
What happened was trying to open the html file reset the file path that iWeb saves in its preference file to tell it where to go when you launch iWeb. Deleting the pref file and launching iWeb creates a new file and iWeb looks in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder for the Domain.sites2 file it uses to create your site.

Iweb will not open

Iweb will not open, it shows up in the dock with the option to quit. "Adjust image" "colors" and "photos" all show up under the VIEW when selected but that all. No apple stores in my area. Could use some help.

You're saying you don't see an iWeb window when you double click on the iWeb icon in the Dock?
It's partially open since the iWeb icon in the dock offers the Quit option. So first try this:
open iPhoto.
select a few photos.
use the Share ➙ iWeb ➙ Photos page menu option.
launch iWeb to see if there's any change.
It might take a couple of attempts to work. If the above doesn't work try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iiWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iWeb and try again.

If you are trying to launch iWeb '09 with a domain file made in iWeb '08, drag the domain file out of Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb into a new folder and then try launching.
