IWeb 1.1.1 - .Mac servers busy

The previous problems with iWeb 1.1 are sure gone, but I still can't publish my site.
For the last 12 hours I've tried several times to publish my site. When the pie chart (indicating publishing progress) makes a whole circle, I get the following error message:
"Publish error. The .Mac servers are busy. Please try again in a few minutes".
Any ideas?

Hello and Welcome Ms Photo
If you publish to .mac then you are actually publishing to an area of your iDisk, your online storage that is part of your .mac account.
As a user you have the option of either accessing your iDisk as and when you need it or have it permanently loaded.
When the path to your iDisk is open your iDisk normally appears in the top half of your finder sidebar and on your desktop (This can be changed by preferences). When you see your iDisk on your desktop then it is said to be mounted, this is a term that means you can access a hard drive. It realates to iPods, USB Memory Sticks, Hard Drvies, Netwrok Drives, iDisks, Cd's, DVD's and no doubt more.
To Eject your iDisk you can do one of the following:
1. On your Desktop, drag it to the Trash
2. On your Desktop, Control+Click (or Right click) and choose Eject "Your.MacUserName"
3. In Finder, control+click on your iDisk in the sidebar, and choose Eject "Your.MacUserName"
To remount it, you can:
1. In Finder, click on iDisk in the Sidebar and it should mount.
2. Using the Menu bar in Finder, follow:
Go>iDisk>My iDisk
I hope that this helps, let me know if not.

Hosting Your iWeb Site From Your Mac

If you don't have a .Mac account or you don't want to pay a monthly fee to host your new website you created with iWeb, you can use OS X's built-in Apache Web server. To accomplish this, follow the steps in the link below.

I was able to get this to work, using the same configuration you mention. The way I did it was to set up the IP address on my LAN using fixed static addresses, and to have the router "forward" the http packets to the Mac running Apache. In Network system preferences panel, you also need to set the DNS servers address to the address of the router on the LAN. In order to reduce hackers trying to break in, I don't use the standard port 80 for my address, but use some other 4-digit port (e.g., 8182), so my website address ends up looking like www.whatever:8182. Instead of "no-IP.com" I used the free dynamic name service from http://www.dyndns.com/. I also put the web content on a firewire disk, which requires a little editing of the httpd.conf file. This was another security precaution. Anyhow, its been working great -- not a single problem. Also, Weblock is great shareware that lets you assign login IDs on the web folders.

Is iweb only for a Mac account?

Hi,
I'm wanting to know if iweb is only for a Mac account. Can you use it if you already have an internet account with another provider?
Thanks,
Spiral Girl

Hi Spiral Girl...
Along the same lines as what Max has touched on, there are several features that are ".Mac-only", meaning that they will not be available to you if you publish your iWeb pages on a non-.Mac server. Having said that, there are plenty of replacements for all of these "missing" features that even exceed the qualities of the .Mac ones.
iWeb also makes it pretty straightforward to publish to 3rd party servers. You simply select "Publish to Folder" and then iWeb puts all of your sitefiles in a folder for you...ready to upload. You must then upload the contents of this folder with any FTP program to your server. Pretty straightforward.

How do I Import my iWeb Files from one Mac to Another

I have iWeb files that are on one Mac and want to import to another Mac.
How do I do this with having one domain file, completely erase the other domain file that has different files?
This is BRUTAL trying to move, copy and import iWeb files between family Macs!!!

You are actually better to split your domain file so that each site can be loaded individually into iWeb and published separately. See....
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebMultiplewebsites.html
You'll note from this that you can also use a third party application to handle these file and iWebsites used to have a merge function. I don't use it so I don't know if it works with the latest version of iWeb.

I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. Help!

I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. I've been on the phone with yahoo mail and they've verified that my account settings are correct and I can send email from yahoo. I can receive emails via Mac mail, but just can't send them. An error message appears that says:
"Sending the message content to the server failed." I can't send emails from my Mac desktop, iphone or ipad. Any suggestions! Help! I'm a Mac rookie and so frustrated! Thanks.

Please read and begin using Can receive email, but not send email. I had a similar issue with Comcast mail (could receive by not send) and found my answer in this letter. For me it took resetting the outgoing mail and telling the system to use a password when sending outgoing mail. If you need help with that please advise and I'll tell you where to look.

Publish iWeb 09 site to .Mac?

Can I publish a site that I made in iWeb 09 to my .Mac address? I need to do this because I cannot get Mobile Me to publish to my personal domain (me.com/username)

I want to publish a seperate website to .Mac or MobileMe, which means that I want to publish the second website to www.username.com.
This still makes no sense. If you publish your website to MobileMe/.Mac (they are the same), it will have the url web.me.com/username. Have you had a problem doing this and gotten an error message? What is your username and the name you gave your site inside the iWeb app?
What is "www.username.com"? Another personal domain name you own?

Moving my iweb site to another mac

Is it possible to move my iweb site from one mac to another? If so how do I do it?
Thanks,
Mike

Lucy,
iWebSites is a beta application capable of merging separate Domain files. It gets good reviews in this forum.
You will not overwrite one Domain file with another unless you intentionally replace a Domain file with another, just like any like-named file. Keep your Domain files in their own folders, folders that are named for the sites the respective Domain files contain. Open the Domain file/Site of your choice by first opening it's folder and then double-clicking on the Domain file inside.

Adding an iWeb hyperlink under my .mac mail signature

Two question:
1) I have tried to incorporate my new iWeb address into my .mac mail signature
but it will only 'grab' a certain number of characters. It leaves off the last 3 or 4. How do I remedy this?
2) I have two .mac addresses on my .mac account. I want to switch to the more 'commercial' one. How do I do this?
Thanks,
Mike

Can you link back to an iweb homepage from a .mac gallery?

Hi,
I'm able to link from my iweb site to my .mac gallery, but how do I get back to my iweb site once I'm there? Can you put a link back from the .mac gallery to my iweb homepage?
Thanks,
Brian

On my page the link to the dotMac webgallery opens in in a new window. So there's no need to link back. Just close the window.
In case the gallery opens in the same window, you have to use the Previous page button.
You cannot add a link anyway, since there's no page to edit. The page(s) are created bij dotMac.
If you're curious: iDisk>Web>Sites>_gallery

Using iWeb for non dot-mac sites

Hi all,
I own a number of domains that I'd like to use iWeb on. Am I able to utilize iWeb for a non .mac domain, or do I need to use something like Dreamweaver?
Many thanks.
-Hugh

No, in fact I have a sneaky suspicion that not using dot-mac sites will eliminate a lot of problems other people have. You will also lose some of the effects like the nicer slideshow etc.
I have never used dot-mac and never encountered any of the uploading/publishing problems that are so often mentioned on this forum.
Here is what you do:
After editing your website you choose :Publish to a folder.
This lets you choose a location on your hardrive into which all the necessary files will be compiled/rendered. In this folder you will find an htlm file plus a folder with the necessary files for easch of your pages.. This publishing is done lightning fasy pecause it is done locallly and not trhough your internetconnection like when you published to dot-mac. Also post-editing is easy and hassle free.
For editing and uploading my website I use "Transmit" but there are lots of other applications like "Fetch"
What to upload?
Well I believe the jury is still out on this.
I just upload the contents of the published folder and that works for me. Other publish the whole folder plus the dummy "Index file" that is generated outside that folder. You will heve to find out for your self.
If any changes or editing has to be done afterwards, I republish and then just upload the altered files.
There is one more thing I do, and I believe others don't. I keep my domain file in the same folder where I keep the Published folder.
E.g. there is a festival website, so I have a folder "Festival" in which I keep the domains file, and the published "Festival website" folder.
This way it is easy to keep various different websites.
When you want to edit one of them, go to that folder and double click the domains file, this will start iWeb with the right website for you to edit.
Really very easy.

Iweb access from other Macs

does anyone know how to access your own iweb site from another Mac ,say on another premisis,
we have iweb 06 on the Mac pro and want to acsess it and change pages from our Mac book pro
regards
the oakley blogger

You can as long as both Macs are running the same version of iWeb.
Your website information is in a domain file located in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
Copy this file and paste it into the equivalent location on the other mac. Double click this file to open iWeb. If the second Mac already has a domain file, you might want to drag it out into a new folder first to stop it being overwritten.
Every time you do any changes to a site on one Mac you have to refresh the domain file on the other.
If the computers are in different locations, you can make the transfer using a portable drive or by creating a ZIP of the domain file and emailing it.

Why are SMB connections so much slower than AFP on my Mac Servers?

I work in a school with a mix of Mac and PC clients and servers. My Mac servers all serve out file sharing to both AFP and SMB. When my Mac clients connect to the Mac servers via SMB, it takes several seconds, sometimes up to a minute before the login screen appears. When I connect via AFP, the login window appears instantaneously. I have also noticed that when the Macs connect to Windows servers, which are obviously SMB, the same long delay occurs. It's manageable, but because it's so quick with AFP, I wonder why the delay?
My biggest concern is that Yosemite connects via SMB by default. Right now everyone is running Mavericks, which will still assume you're asking it to connect via AFP when you don't specify the afp:// in the address. My Yosemite beta machine does the opposite, it assumes SMB when the address doesn't specify. When all my clients make the switch next year, I'm expecting much longer than usual connection times for my mac users who are not technically inclined and who are used to just typing a word or phrase in the "Connect to:" dialog box, rather than an actual address (such as afp://server, they would currently just type "server" and it fills in the rest for them).
Thanks for any help with this. I would love to find out how to speed up the SMB connections.

Does apple have any explanations for why iCloud will not support iWeb & is there any viable solutions. iWeb is critical to my small business & we have all been trained via joint ventue on iWeb. Now it just goes away. Why?

I appreciate your repsonse, but the irony is that Apple is still scheduling "One-to-One" & Joint Venture training on iWeb knowing that it all will end next June. ..
Just to add this : iWeb -- the app itself -- is still supported,updated only months ago and as part of the ilife '11 DVDs still widely spread even though it is not sold on the AppStore it is official part of iLife. It runs in Lion and there is zero issues with the app. So a training makes sense, doesn't it ?.
They would only to exclude the "publish to me.com" part to be up to date for courses and trainings :-≠
