IWeb 3.04 with OS 10.8.2 on new iMac. Issues with saving.

Sometimes changes save, sometimes they don't. Using Domain Cracker to open desired domain.sites2 files saved in the documents folder. Could that script be the source of the problem?
Back story is that we have a fairly large site developed on iWeb 1.x on an old 2006 MacBook running Tiger (10.4?). Hard drive crash resulted in new HD, installed box set Snow Leopard 10.6 and iWeb 3.0.4. Then acquired a new iMac with Mountain Lion 10.8.2, installed the iWeb 3.0.4, copied the converted domain.sites2 files over. Made extensive changes, saved frequently, quit iWeb, the next day all changes area lost. Then tried experimenting with simple minor changes, save quit, relaunch, changes are saved properly. Try again, simple text edit, save, quit, relaunch, changes are lost. Sometimes the changes save, sometimes they don't.
Who knows the definitive answer on iWeb 3.0.4 running on a new iMac under OS 10.8.2 on a new latest model iMac? Is Domain Craker a potential source of the problem?

On the one hand you say you are using iWeb V 3.0.4 but at the bottom of your posr mention iWeb '08.
iWeb '08 (V2) causes problems with saving when using Mountain Lion.
Domain Cracker is just a script that allows you to choose a domain file to open in iWeb. It doesn't have anything to do with the running (or not) of iWeb.

I had a drive failure and lost the iWeb file along with other things. I did manage to save a lot of user file documents but I don't see or recognize the my iWeb site file. It was on a 15" G4 Titanium pb. I'm trying to find a way, using version 2.0.4

I'm trying to find a way, using version 2.0.4 of iWeb on a different
pb to recover the file into the iWeb app or a way to download the site into iWeb.
There are 6 pages of images and text, and it
would be a task for me to recreate the whole thing again. I did
download the site but I don't know how or if I can get iWeb to see it and open it.
Does anyone have any knowledge about this? The link to my site:

Unfortunately iWeb cannot read or import previously published files, only generate them. You'll have to recreate your site from scratch.
However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site.

I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have bought a copy of Apple iLife 11 on dvd a so that I can install iWeb and idvd, when I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate

I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have just bought Apple iLife 11 on dvd so that I can install iWeb and iDVD, as macs no longer ship with these apps. When I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate.
Next problem is that when moving through the installer and get to custom install, as I only want to install iDVD and iWeb, I am presented with the option to install iDVD, Sounds & Jingles and iWeb, but not sure what is going on with the other 3 options iLife Support etc, they seem to be greyed out but still look like they may install over the top of the newer versions already on my imac. Is it ok for me to just go ahead and hit install? Or do I have a problem?

Yep, just install iDVD (plus sounds and jingles) and iWeb if you want it (but note that iWeb apparently won't work if you upgrade to Mountain Lion).
Then use Software Update to get any late iDVD updates.

I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area. I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest

I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself (and the animation doesn't work) if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area (indicated by a blue rectangle). I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest of my site is pushed down the page. Don't know what to do about this. I don't know how to bring the rest of the page up without dragging it also into the designated nav bar area. Also, by doing this, is it affecting my site in ant way? see my site here at www.steveburrowsimages.com
The home page is with it all draged into the nav bar area and the about page is with is outside the nav bar area (notice that the top button does not animate or work as a button.
Getting confused here. Anyone got any ideas?

Well, you made a good start with SEO by getting rid of the iWeb default navigation since it doesn't help the spiders and, out there in the real world, there are more people than you would think with javascript turned off in their browsers.
One of the downsides of iWeb is that it doesn't allow for the alt attribute in the img tag. Its well worth adding these to give you extra keywords even if you have captioned all your images. Use iWeb SEO Tool for this...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Tags.html
iWeb, just like most drag and drop software, creates a huge amount of code which causes the pages to load slowly in the browser. Running you files through an optimizer will help to reduce this problem and further reduce the size of image files even beyond the initial optimization you do before loading them into iWeb...

Personal Domain changed but iWeb still remains with the old one

Hi,
recently I changed my Personal Domain on MobileMe. Unfortunately iWeb still remains with the old one: Even if I create a new iWeb-Domain the problem occurs. I also checked whether this is a local iMac problem or not but it isn´t unless I have the same issue with my MacBook Air using the same MobileMe Account. Every time I open iWeb the 'Settings Page' shows the old personal domain name (displayed in brackets behind the MobilMe Account information). At MobilMe the new Personal Domain name displayed as the active one.
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance

Using iWeb HTML code with email autoresponder software

Hi, I'd like to be able to use iWeb html code with an email autoresponder package, however, the text in the resulting emails is unformatted and has no images. My chosen company,AWeber, haven't been able to solve this yet for me (I've tried all the major autoresponder companies with same result).
I've tried hosting my email page both to Mac.com and www but it makes no difference.
I've seen similar queries in this forum - has anyone cracked it yet?
Thanks

Not sure what you expect. Your URL is absolute and pointing to a local file resource. It's not a proper relative HTML link. Beyond that it's toatlly unclear how you actually plan to load your image and where they are hosted, so nobody can tell you anything. Either way, there is an obviously painful lack of understanding of even the most basic web techniques, so the best advise anyone would give you is to spend some time with a web search and actualyl learn some of that stuff...

How do I delete sites created with iWeb and posted with .mac after a format

I am confused about how to delete a couple of sites that I created with iWeb and posted with my .mac after I did a format reload?
I have tried everything. The original files are not on my MacBook Pro because of the format.
I also see them in my idisc, but I is my understanding that on my MacBook Pro that I can delete the files, but they are hosted online. On the online idisk I cannot delete them because there is no option. Please help!!!

Using the file menu in Finder:
Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/YourSitesAreHere
Highlight selected files and Command/Delete. You will receive a drop down asking you if you are sure; click OK and the files/sites will be deleted immediately from the iDisk.

Will iWeb 06 work with Lion?

Like the title states, Will the original iWeb still work with Lion? I can't stand the new versions and the old iweb always works perfect for me. Any ideas?

If you want to continue to use iWeb, then when Lion is released, I would use the latest version which is iWeb 09 that was part of either iLife 09 or iLife 11.
iWeb 09 has been tested and has been found to work with Lion.

Updating old iWeb blog/sites with new templates?

i would absolutely love to use the new iWeb templates, but don't want to have to start a whole new series of sites or a new blog just to do it.
is there any way to update my blog and sites created before iWeb 1.1 with the new templates? or is this just asking too much?

I don't think there's an automatic way to do this (like in Keynote) and it's really too bad. Actually, in Keynote when you change themes, you basically have to go over each slide and tweak it anyway.
With iWeb, I guess you could create a parallel blog (keep it invisible to your viewers while you are transitioning) and start recreating things. You basically have the ability to "select all" on a page and copy and paste everything as a block to a new page. Maybe that will cut down on the amount of work required.

Why doesn't my iWeb page work with google chrome?

Why doesn't my iWeb page work with google chrome?

Bonjour
Don't test your website with Google Chrome if you publish it into a local folder.
Publish to a server. You need an URL with http:// and ( not file://) to view an iWeb site in Chrome.
You can also
activate the web sharing on your computer (Preferences system > Sharing > Check web sharing)
publish to Sites folder (MacIntosh HD > Users > Home folder >Sites)
and use the URL (with http) given by the web sharing tab in preferences system http://computer_name.home/~user_name/site_name/

HT1338 is it iweb still work with mac os mountain lion?

is it iweb still work with mac os mountain lion? i want to make new web page and using mountain lion is it work under i cloud?

You will need to find another hosting service.You can publish to another service in iWeb '09 and above by choosing the FTP option in the Publish pane; in earlier versions you will need to publish to a local folder and upload using an FTP program such as Cyberduck. More details here:

Can I transfer my iWeb files to new iMac running Yosemite

I have recently purchased a new iMac running Yosemite 10.10.2. I have a set of iWeb files that I was working on but had not yet published as a website on my old iMac which is running OS X 10.5.8. Is it possible to transfer these files to the new mac? I can't find any iWork or iLife files in the Applications folder on my new mac.

Yes, you can transfer the files, but you will be unable to open them, because as you have found, new Macs have not shipped with iWeb installed on them for a long time now - iWeb as you may or may not know is very old software now that has not been sold or supported by Apple for at least 3 years.
The only other way that you will be able to get iWeb onto your new Mac is buy a copy of iLife 11 or iLife 09, both of which contained the final version of iWeb - which is iWeb 09. You would need to purchase this from Amazon. You could try an old installation CD that came with your other Mac if you still have it and you could try installing iWeb onto your new iMac from that, but if it does not work, then you'll have to buy a copy of iLife 11 or 09 from Amazon.
Your other alternatives of course are to find some new web creation software that is supported or you continue to use iWeb on your old Mac and just update and publish your sites from that machine.
In the end though, it might just be easier to bite the bullet and move onto some new software and re-build you site with that.
Software that is worth taking a look at is RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express, WebAcappella 4, Flux V and EverWeb. Then don't forget all the online website builders that you have, that are slightly different, such as WordPress.com, Wix.com and others.
Other alternatives are then the Content Management Systems such as Drupal, Joomla and WordPress.org.
I would suggest that you take a look at EverWeb first though - it is very much like the iWeb interface and can do a lot more than iWeb could out of the box, such as contact forms included, SEO included, drop down menus, master pages, support for PayPal with widgets and lots more.
Take and look and you can download a trial version before you buy.
There are lots of different options available to you, but ultimately, if you want to continue using iWeb on your new Mac, then you'll have to buy iLife form Amazon. Time to move on perhaps?!!
