IWeb '11: What happened?

My adrenaline was pumping. I was running right to the Apple store to buy the new iWeb - with better slide shows, better templates, iPad web apps and more.
But as Roseanne Rosannadanna used to say: "Never mind!"

Same here, HUGE disappointment. I still harbor a glimmer of hope that there actually will be an update… already incorporated or very soon to come with one huge download; but I'm not holding my breath.
In Apple's philosophy of "onward and upward" coupled with '**** the torpedos', (which I like btw), they will definitely pull the plug on you with little or no notice, second thought, or regret. And while this isn't 'pulling the plug'… the old version is still available and running, I am definitely going to consider that I may want, and in fact be forced, to look elsewhere for my web publishing needs… but that day ain't today. And if it comes… I'll shed a tear, it will mean a LOT of work, but I'll move on. - JamesJM

What happens to iweb-built site when I upgrade from Leopard (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.3), and subsequently upgrade to 10.6.8 or even 10.7? Will fonts stay the same? Will layout change? Or anything else change? Thanks

What happens to iweb-build site when I upgrade from Leopard (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.3) and subsequently update that to 10.6.8 or even to 10.7? Evidently iweb has been discontinued. I have version 3.0.3 of iweb now but understand that there's been an update for OS 10.6 so same question goes for this update.
Will fonts change? Will layout change? Will widgets still work? Links? Will Google Analytics PlugIn still work?
(Since MobileMe is disappearing, I now save iweb site to local folder on my computer, then upload it to GoDaddy using Cyberduck. I run Google Analytics plug in on folder before its uploaded.)
My computer, MacBook Pro came with iweb, which has been updated to 3.0.3. Since iweb is discontinued, will upgrade of operating system just ignore iweb so that iweb will run the same as before? Or will it wipe it out? Or change how it currently works (questions above).
Thanks

As you now know iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.

However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
NOTE: the iLife 11 boxed version Is no longer available at the online Apple Store. To get a copy you'll have to try Amazon.com or eBay.com.

What happens if I delete a site in iweb? site still on the web? system?

B/c of my various issues i'm having since upgrading iweb, I created two test sites on iweb09. I was able to upload them to the web and to a folder.
I deleted both. Later, I created another test site with the same name (site 2). I noticed this one was acting weird.
I'm wondering what happens to the sites after they are deleted.
1. Are they available on the web?
2. Are they somewhere else on my system that I should make sure to delete?
Thx.

Deleting sites inside iweb does not have any effect on what has been published on a server or to a folder on your local drive. It just changes what is in iWeb's domain file.

Any shadow created in an iWeb site is pouched with latest upgrade. What happened?

the latest "security" upgrade that came out in the last week distroys any shadows created for images in an iWeb created site. In the original upgrade to Firefox 5 they were fine. They are still fine in Safari and even work in Internet Explorer. What happened? Here are some examples...

http://www.audaciousbeers.com/Friday-Flights.html
This is a huge problem. Please respond as soon as possible.
Dave

That problem only seems to exist in Firefox 5. All other (older and newer) Firefox versions do not show that problem. So this may very well be a bug in Firefox 5.

What happens to my websites created in iWeb when iCloud replaces IWeb (Rumoured)?...

What happens to my websites created in iWeb when iCloud replaces IWeb as is rumoured... they will be lost?

To tell you te truth We should should've all expected this...
With no new updates to iWeb in a good couple of years, even though it's an amazing piece of software enjoyed by million. It upsets me no end to see apple continually doing this and what have they done exactly? Left goodness knows how many customers worried and uncertain about a product they love and rely on, I do anyway.
One of the main reasons I have a Mac isn't only the build quality and the OS, although that does have a fair amount to do with it. The main reason for me moving to Apple and investing in a machine all those years ago was iWeb, being a creative control freak, I love to be able to get out my Mac, open iWeb and in minutes create a new launch page for a new mix, upgrade some of my services a customers asked for, recreate any aspect of how I present myself to people at a click of a button... I know you can upload to FTP server but phooey, why damage a good thing.
This as annoyed me no end... so I'll not doubt I'll be taking it out on an Apple employee tomorrow when I take back my blown power pack for my MacBook pro, my third one in 8 months... I sign of the way apple is going?
PS as for iOS 5 ... Seriously underwhelmed, we've been given features 90% of which should have been launched in iOS3!.. Oh, although I can't handle windows anymore, have you see. The new Windows 8 layer? Watch out Apple, he's behind you

I have added photos to a portfolio website I'm building and a lot of them look VERY grainy when you click on them. They are nice clean large files and can print bat high res way over 16" x 20" so whats happened to them in iWeb?

When you are dealing with websites, image file size is a trade off between quality and download speed. There's not a lot of point to having high quality images if they take too long to download in the browser.
Nowadays we also have to consider the device that the end user is viewing the images on. An image that is optimized for viewing on a large screen is total overkill and unsuitable for those using mobile devices.
Really we should be supplying different versions of media files for different devices using @media rules in the stylesheet but this is rather outside of the scope of iWeb. If you use the built in image optimizer and the iWeb Photo template with slideshow, the application will optimize the images according to the way in which you set this function in preferences and the slideshow size will be automatically reduced for those viewing it on smaller screens.
If you want to give your viewers the opportunity to view large, high quality images, you can supply them as a download.

What happened to iWeb and iDvD?

Hello,
I was watching the Steve's keynotes when I came to know that Apple had a iWeb application where you can create webpages. Apple doesn't lose complete functionality of a particular application unless they found an entirely better way of doing that job.
like iCloud as a replacement for mobileMe. What happened to iWeb and iDVD? Are there any latest substitutes for them. Is there any Apple software which can help me make web pages and stuff??

If you plan on using iDVD at some time and don't have it currently get a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com.
Why 09 instead of 11:
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

When published iWeb then visit, no updates...what happened?

Closing One iTunes Account to Use Another, What Happens Next?

Hey,
I recently setup a .Mac Account for my iWeb, and now want to use the same username for my iTunes, instead of a hotmail.com Apple ID (aID).
I contacted Apple and they said that I can't merge the two accounts.
In my Hotmail aID Account I still have come credit on the count, $24.00 approx.
Now here's a solution I thought.
If I GIFT a television show to myself at my new .Mac aID - it will use the credit in my account...
Now I have a couple of questions:
1) Who's account name will appear on the gifted television show? My new or old ID?
2) What happens to all the other content that I have purchased with my old account? Will I still be able to play these?
Can anyone see any problems in this solution.... its the only way I can think of getting around the merge... I want to stop my Hotmail aID and use my new .Mac aID.
THANKS for any advice and help.

I have a similar issue. I would like to change an existing Apple ID to a MobileMe address. However, since an Apple ID is automatically created when you sign up for MobileMe, I was not allowed to change my existing Apple ID to the new MobileMe e-mail address. It does not make since that this is not possible, especially since both are Apple products and MobileMe is a paid service. This is a hassle when making iTunes purchases as I will have to maintain login info and authorizations for both my old Apple ID and the new MobileMe created Apple ID. Is it possible to close an Apple ID account. If so, I could close the MobileMe created Apple ID and then change the e-mail address on the old Apple ID to the new MobileMe address. Sounds kinda confusing. If this is possible, how do you do it? Thanks in advance.

What happened to my old dock stuff?

I just got the latest version of Leopard for Christmas and was SO excited to install it. I installed it and when I went to update our website, low and behold, iWeb is gone. As well as ALL of my iLife applications (iPhoto, Garage Band, etc.). What happened to them? Do I have to purchase another iLife version. This truly disappoints me, because nothing indicated that when you upgrade to Leopard that you would also have to purchase additional software to KEEP what you already had to begin with!
Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I just missed it entirely....

If you did an Erase and Install, you erased your iLife.
You will need to reinstall from your original disks that came with our computer..
When you boot from the disk, choose Bundled software...
If you did an Archive and Install, then your iLife applications should be in a folder called "Previous Systems".....

ILife '08 What happens to '06 apps at install?

I installed iWork '08 and it specifically says that iWork '06 would be left intact and that is exactly the case.
iLife '08 has no such caveat about '06. What happens to the '06 versions of iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, iWeb and iDVD? And if they are overwritten can they be preserved by temporarily dragging them out of the Application folder prior to installation of '08 and then back with something like '06 appended to preserve the distinction? My concern is specifically for iMovie and iDVD based on some of the forums posts.
Thanks!

Yes. I always repair permissions before and after an install and check for updates. iDVD opened fine from the install. But after I downloaded 302MB of "Themes" iDVD started to immediately quit at startup. Trashed plists etc. No change. Reinstalled only iDVD from disk. All OK. Hope it stays that way. Thanks again.

I would imagine that iWeb and iDVD will be dropped from future boxed versions of iLife if there are boxed versions. However, there may be some copies of the boxed iLife 11 still on the shelves that would include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
iWeb 3 has a built in ftp client that will let you upload to an 3rd party host as easitly as it publishes to MobileMe Now. There are times when that client has problems for some so the use of a 3rd party ftp client would be necessary. The free Cyberduck is a good client.

What happens to MobileMe Galleries ?

Little confused about what happens to them and what the alternatives are ?
Also, what happens to the iWeb websites ?

airsculpture: that is right. web.me.com/yourhandle pages also disappear. iweb will continue working, but you will need to get your pages hosted at another site. note that some functionality (comments, page hit counters) will stop working. a facebook group was created to petition apple to reconsider this decision. see:

What happens on iCloud (ex. contacts) when multiple family members use the same Apple ID?

What happens on iCloud when multiple family members use the same Apple ID? For example if we all choose to use iCloud for contacts, are they all merged together? We use the same Apple ID so we can use find my iPhone to keep track of the whole family.

Of course if you are both connected to the same iCloud account you have the same contacts - what did you expect?. The contacts live on the server and are read from there by the devices; so as you've both managed to sync your contacts up to iCloud they are now inextricably mixed. You can only delete your contacts by deleting individual ones, and doing that will delete them from your phone as well.
You can only unravel this by
1. In the iCloud contacts page at http://icloud.com, select all the contacts, click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.
2. Sign out of System Preferences>iCloud
3. Create a new Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with it for your own use.
4. Import the vCard back into the iCloud contacts page.
5. Go to http://icloud.com and sign in with the original ID. This is now his ID. Work through the contacts individually deleting the ones you don't want him to have. When done sign out and advise him to change his password.
6. Go to the new iCloud account and delete his contacts individually.
Of course if you have also been syncing calendars and using the same email address there are problems with doing this.

What happens to the open item in bsid table when it is cleared

hi experts,
i have a doubt about open and cleared items of accounting documents. as we know open items of customers are stored in bsid and cleared ones in bsad. For suupose, an open item is closed ina particular period then what happened to the entry in bsid and bsad table. an entry regarding is stored in bsad (cleared),and what happens to the entry in bsid, still it will be there or removed from it.

Hi,
When ever we clear the document(Complete payment) that document will be moved to BSAD table. Other wise it will remain in BSID.
If u are making partial payment then all the partial payment documents along with original document will be stored in BSID till u made the complete payment for that invoice.
Assumption is u have to give all partial payment documents made for particular invoice item while u are making complete payment in F-28 transaction. So that these partail payment documents will also be cleared while making complete payment and moved to BSAD table.
This trasaction can be used for both partial and complete payments.
Irrespective of complete or partial payments made all the documents will remain stored in BKPF and BSEG tables.
BSID and BSAD are index tables to address performance issues with BKPF and BSEG tables.
So all open and cleared documents will be there in BKPF and BSEG tables.
All cleared documents will be there in BSAD table.
Alll open documents will be there in BSID table.
Hope it is clear.
Thanks,
Vinod.
