IWeb: all pages empty

When I create a site with iWeb, once published, all the pages are blank.
I have tested several servers. But I have the same problem. Can anyone help me?
Link: http://www.queenglamourb.it
In the past I have already published several sites. Never a problem.

What version of iWeb are your using?
What system are you running?
How are you uploading the files to the server?
If you're using iWeb 3 have you tried using the File ➙ Publish Entire Site menu option?

In trying to transfer iWeb pages (not uploaded) to another computer I went into the library and transferred the domain onto the desktop. Disaster! On opening iWeb all previous (uploaded) sites have disappeared. Help!

In trying to transfer iWeb pages (not uploaded) to another computer I went into the Library and transferred the domain onto the desktop. Disaster! On opening iWeb all previous (uploaded) sites have disappeared. On opening the domain all I can recover is the many component parts, and when unzipped the code. Help! Mike

Code in a domain file - really? That is not possible because the domain.sites file does not contain any html or css code at all - the domain file is your iWeb data file and you won't see any code until you publish your website.
If you can see html code, then you have the wrong file and it is a published version of your site which iWeb can do nothing with - iWeb has no import facility so cannot open any html files.
Go back and ensure that you have the correct domain.sites files that can be found under your User Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites and if you have Mavericks then you need to go to Go and press the alt key to reveal your hidden User Library, so that you can then get to Application Support and then iWeb and then your domain.sites file.
You will also need to go and download either DomainCracker or iWebSwitch which allows you to open individual domain files under Mavericks, because from Lion onwards, you cannot open individual domain files.
Also, it says that you are still using iWeb 08? If this is so, you'll either need to upgrade to iWeb 09 by going to Amazon and purchasing the iLife 09 or 11 boxed set, both of which contain iWeb 09 or you need to switch to newer software that is actively being supported and developed such as EverWeb (http://www.everwebapp.com).

IWeb Uploads All Pages Everytime

I have two websites in iWeb. Normally when I publish, iWeb will only publish the changes made to the various pages. Lately, everytime I make a little change to any page it reuploads the whole website and when it is done (which takes considerable time, all the page statuses stay red. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

What system and iWeb version are you running?
Try 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
launch iWeb and try again.
You may have to publish twice, the second time with only a cosmetic edit to one page to see if it works. The first publish will be all pages.

Replacing nav bar--is there a way to change all pages at once?

I widened my site off of an iweb template and now the nav bar looks bad since it's too narrow and there is text that appears outside of the nav bar background. Since I can't change the color or looks of the nav bar, I've decided to put my own on top of it. This means if I have any changes down the line, I have to change the nav bar on every page. I have a page that nothing is linked to where I save graphic elements, so I can copy it, and paste on each page--a hassle when you have 50+ pages, and no idea how many pages I'll have in the end. IT was nice to have the automatic nav bar and header/footer, but boy how stupid to not be able to edit them unless you're a tech geek and understand all the coding!!

a hassle when you have 50+ pages
You should try it when you have 170+ pages!
No, there is no simple way to change all pages at once. I use exactly the same method as you are doing now. Having proper user definable templates is on my wish list for future releases of iWeb.

Internet Explorer 7 - Trouble loading iWeb 08 Pages

Is anyone else having trouble with iWeb 08 pages not loading properly when viewed in Internet Explorer 7?
Everything loads fine on a Mac (Firefox 2.0) and even on a PC using Firefox but when viewing the site from IE7 it seems like pages containing photos (ie photo pages and blog entries) are having trouble loading completely. The images never appear or some images appear or some thumbnails fail to appear in the new photo gallery page.
Solutions? Work arounds? Or is this just a bug that needs to be repaired in an upgrade?
I love the Mac but the new iWeb and iPhoto seem a little glitchy out of the box.

mtd,
I tested your site on my PC with IE 7. No problems. In fact I tested load times for both Safari (Mac) and IE (PC) and they were almost identical. I compared screens side by side and they looked the same. Some of you may not have updated versions of IE. Additionally the IE browser settings can be a bit tricky. You know, it's MS so troubleshooting is a given! One suggestion is to delete all the cookies currently running in IE 7 and give it another viewing.
I have noticed that some themes slow down both browsers. It's a matter of complexity of the theme.
All the Best,

Can't select text in iWeb published pages

I need to rebuild pages from existing ones on the web that were made with iWeb 09.
Text boxes that also include inserted images appear to have lost the ability to have their text highlighted and copied off the web (existing) pages.
Boxes that contain ONLY text seem to be selectable, just fine, but if ANY image has been inserted in the text stream when the page was designed, attempting to select just the text ends up selecting the entire box, which is not very helpful.
Is there a way around this?

Thanks so much for enlightening me on the VPR (very peculiar results) hidden inside iWeb 09.
Whoda thunk that simply adding a simple drop shadow onto text would mess up the entire selectability of every bit of adjacent text in that text box?
That qualifies for the IBotY (Institutionalized Bug of the Year) award. Surely the code writers should have seen this one coming and worked around it by automatically selecting and isolating the drop-shadowed text?
Now a new conundrum.
After fixing the text by dropping it into in-line text boxes, all is well except (wait for it)
Just One More Thing.
The boxes, now selectable, show up just fine in iWeb, all neatly packed together the way I want the layout to look.
BUT
They float apart. The page is tall, but in Safari, at least, some of the boxes are now floating down-page a few or several dozen pixels. See if it does it on your computer here: http://www.hdslrreview.com/HDSLRreview/Cameras.html

Trouble Creating an iWeb "Hub Page"

Have been away from iWeb for a while, but now need some reminders on how to do a few things which I can't seem to find the commands for, but which I'm assuming should be relatively simple -- and that assumption is probably my first mistake!
The Project: Am needing to create a kind of iWeb "Hub-Page", which basically consists of a header, title graphic, etc. (that part's ready to go), and then four "poster-frame" images (let's say sized roughly 320x240), each of which is a link to either an Aperture-published Gallery (but one which is "invisible" to my other Galleries); an Aperture-published web page; or an iWeb-created Photo and/or Albums page.
In an ideal world, it would be great if each of these poster-image hyperlinks could be mouse-skimmed so the visitor could preview the contents before actually activating the link -- but I'm guessing that may still not yet be possible. What I definitely DON'T want is the automatic, never-ending "slideshow" effect I see when I try using the MobileMe Gallery widget.
So, my general questions are:
1) If using the MM Gallery widget, how do you simply disable that auto-cycling preview effect? (Surely there's an option for at least that much somewhere -- like the animation controls for a My Albums page.)
2) Also, how do you get the preview thumbs to fit within whatever image frame size you've set, rather than the ugly default whereby they get arbitrarily cropped when their aspect ratios and their horizontal/vertical alignments differ from that of the image frame?
3) And is there an equivalent way to link "dynamically" (i.e. with the mouse-scrubbing ability) from iWeb to an Aperture-published +web page+ (as opposed to a Gallery album), or even to a separate iWeb-published photo page (one which is either part of the same overall site, or a page from a separate site)?
4) OR... (if the answers to 1-3 are basically "it's 2010, and iWeb is still glued to coverage of the 2004 Summer Games in Athens"), should I just forget about widgets, and mouse-skimming, and simply drag in four representative images, make each a hyperlink to whichever MobileMe Gallery, Aperture Web Page, or other iWeb page I desire, and be done with it?
And if the answer to #4 is a firm "Yes", is there any way I can still have a uniform navigation bar across the top of each page, allowing for quick flipping between them? (...in other words, to have these various Galleries and individual photo pages -- each with their own unique URLs -- all appear within some kind of frame *when accessed via this new iWeb "hub page" I'm creating*... or will the visitor always have to click Back to the hub-page in order to then go to one of the other pages represented there?)
Hope that made some sense -- any guidance on any of the above will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
John B.

So basically you're saying you do not like the default features of iWeb, MobileMe Gallery and all that, and you actually want a custom website. If that's the case, the short answer is: design it yourself. But it requires study, effort, finding solutions, practice, finding alternatives and more study. It's called webdesign. And for the most parts, you gave the answers yourself. So do what you want.
To be fair -- and perhaps my original intent wasn't clear -- I was really just trying to get clarification on a few of those iWeb, MobileMe Gallery, and related-app defaults, especially the current extent and limitations of their configurability. I stress "current", since any application default -- and whatever options exist to change its parameters -- is obviously a constantly changing and ever-evolving process. One version's "sorry, no way" scenario is often the next version's empowering new feature.
For instance...
1. Create the webpages you want to link to.
2. On the hub page add the four images.
3. Hyperlink the images to the pages you created in 1.
Which is indeed the Plan B scenario I outlined in item #4 of my original post, and which is essentially what I did in fact end up doing.
That original post was primarily an attempt to see if my Plan A scenario was an iWeb possibility yet (as I mentioned, having been largely away from the app since the previous version). I figure it's best to check these forums first before sending off more suggestions and feature requests to Apple Feedback, since it sometimes happens that the capability I'm seeking has in fact been implemented, and I'm just not looking in the right place.
And there's always a very grey area between configuring and customizing, especially in the area of web design -- iWeb itself being a good example. For all its easy-to-use, pre-defined templates (and thank goodness for them), iWeb does in fact also allow for a great deal of website customization in many areas. There are certainly a number of things of which it's now capable, which if proposed in the days of version 1 would have merited the response: "you're asking for a custom site -- learn how to code and design it yourself".
Much of what I'd like to be able to do is just that -- nice if available as an already-impemented feature, but not essential, and certainly not something I could justify spending large amounts of time learning how to achieve manually. Especially since this morning's non-configurable default is this afternoon's Feedback suggestion and next Tuesday's exciting new feature.
(Okay, maybe next month's.)
But as for any unrealistic expectations, my only true annoyance with any current default is when it seems arbitrarily limiting -- case in point being the automatic slideshow preview feature of the MM Gallery widget, which apparently comes with absolutely no "Off" switch. To me that just makes little if any sense, and runs counter to the general spirit of user-friendliness we've come to expect in our Apple apps, whether consumer or pro level. It's as if certain kinds of links (say to any external page) automatically included an engagingly cute musical intro, and there was no option to disable that default. It might be a fun feature, even a very cool one, but to make it mandatory, with no way to NOT have it enabled? I'd say that's a default that clearly needs to be changed (as in: made optional).
So would still love to hear from anyone who may have found a way to do this in iWeb '09 -- failing which, I'll definitely be adding that to my next batch of iWeb Feedback notes. Only question will be: whether to label it a Feature Request, or a Bug Report?
(BTW, for any humorously-challenged readers, that last question was meant as a joke.)
Thanks again though to Wyodor for taking the time to respond.

IWeb movie pages, when published -- no movies

my iWeb movie pages, when published, came up lame, no movies, only areas where the movies should have been, all with faint Q's with question marks inside them
LONG STORY SHORT, MAKE SURE YOUR MOVIES (as well as being located in your MAC HD and its proper MOVIE sidebar, that you CUT AND PASTE all your MEDIA YOU'RE USING IN YOUR iWeb SITE,
CUT AND PASTE PHOTOS, MOVIES in dupe form right into your desktop where you've published your iWEB site folder.......that way, any browser, a .mac or outside web host, can locate your media better so that you don't get GHOST MEDIA PUBLISHING LIKE I DID...hopefully this will help both of us
ALSO, in any iWeb website (named SITE in your desktop, or iDisc, or whatever or wherever you publish it, or even if you can find where on earth on your HD it is published, remember, if you have any MEDIA at all, NOTE IN MY CASE MEDIA MEANS MOVIES (not photos, so I'm not speaking to the photo blogs people, only iWeb MOVIE folks) anyway, all the compressed poetry video clips are right there, in a separate folder called MEDIA, that is every iWeb site, when published to .mac or a folder, which contains movies in .mp4 format or .mov format, all these will appear right in your site's MEDIA FOLDER....
this is important as a concept....
also, if you're using an outside web host like me (so that all my movies will LOAD QUICKLY), don't forget when FTP'ing (file transfer protocol'ing) your iWeb changes to your web host from your original MAC HD folder....remember to also send to the FTP/outside web host your MEDIA folder inside your SITE
(which i only realized a couple hours ago, and which totally was a revelation, so i'm passing it along to you guys)....
if you'd like to know exactly what i do here in nyc, i video the poetry scene, now for 20 years, and create educational poetry DVDs.... and my website is today's equivalant of operating a virtual business.....
....oh-oh, since I video poetry in NYC and go direct into a standalone DVD recorder to make single tracks of each poem...and then through Popcorn's mp4 program, I can make a movie file
then..through QuickTime Pro's streaming compression system, reduce that file size to under 5 MBs,
well, after lots of headaches, i am able to have 200 streaming video clips on an iWeb site, which apple itself said was impossible, that iWeb was only geared for less ambitious projects
okay, so that is cool..until yesterday, when i began the whole process again with completely new poetry video clips....
first, the iWeb pages were designed correctly...that took time....then i published the new pages to .mac, and only some of the movies showed up on the published pages, some had a big bright Q (which means the browser identifies the movie and will within 20 seconds load that movie), but what wracked my brain all day and night yesterday, why were there areas where the browser only showed the faint Q/Question mark inside (meaning the browser cannot find the movie)
so what the.....!
also i'm going from an iWed Folder to an FTP so I can use an outside web host and bypass THE MUCH SLOWER .mac browser (too slow when using movie clips for visitor to your site having to wait valuable seconds for **** movie to appear...with outside web host process almost immediate)
.....any similar experiences?

I am having the same problem.
Now I am using iWeb 2.03. So when I uploaded the site to my server I see the Media folder you were talking about, and the videos are there. But when I go to the website I still get the faint Q with the question mark.
Here is my site. http://mnorland.dadeschools.net
The videos are supposed to be in the Athletics page, then go to football highlights.
Any help would be appreciated.

[AS CS3] Bug? All Page Items - grouped items w labels

Can anyone confirm this behaviour for me. I would classify it as a bug, but maybe the logic for it not being a bug escapes me.
The command "all page items" is supposed to return a (flat) list of every page object, right? I would suspect that I should be able to address any object in the list. But I can only seem to address an object when it's inside of a group.
I am trying to get the text of a text frame that has a label. It may or may not be inside a group. I can certainly do a try/error block to try a script statement for objects in a group or not in a group. But I think that "all page items" should be able to handle it directly.
Here's a test script: ------
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
tell document 1
get label of all page items
set myUngrouped to contents of text frame "some label" --only works when objects ungrouped, this is expected
set myText to (get contents of text frame "some label" of all page items)
--both statements work ONLY when objects grouped
set myText to (get contents of every page item of all page items whose label is "some label")
end tell
end tell
Steps:
Make a new document.
Draw a text frame. Type some text into it.
Label the frame "some label".
Draw another empty graphic or text frame.
Run script
-->result is, myText statements error out. Why is this?
Now group all items on page.
Run script.
-->result is, myUngrouped can't continue. This is expected.
Comment out myUngrouped statement
Run script.
-->result is, myText statements work OK.

The key is that all page items returns a list, so what you want is certain items -- not page items -- from that list. So: set myText to (every item of all page items whose label is "some label") -- Shane Stanley <[email protected]>

Published an iWeb 09 page, but it views blank

I've published my family's website for a year now without any major issues (iWeb 08 and 09). I recently added a blog to the site and all pages, but one, open okay. The one page for some reason opens blank. I've deleted it, re-posted it, made little changes here and there, but nothing seems to work for this one page. Frustrating. Any ideas out there?

I've noticed that the other blog entries don't have all of the '%' signs in the URL. Is that an indicator of the issue?

How to change the header in all pages at once?

I'm new to iWeb and can't figure out how to change the headers of all pages without having to go through and do it to every page. There should be a way, but is this a feature iWeb doesn't have?

Hi,
Refer following link which states how to change the Page Setup setting (just an addition to above poster's explanation):-

Reader doesn't find all pages in multipage articles

Hey folks,
just noticed that the "Reader" feature inside Safari doesn't always find all pages. Example:
http://www.feedmag.com/templates/default.php3?a_id=1698
Article has 3 pages, reader only finds 2.
Anybody working on a fix on this?
Cheers

HI,
Empty the Safari cache. From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Empty Cache.
Relaunch Safari.
If that didn't help, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and move the "cache.db" file to the Trash.

HELP - iWeb removes pages after successful publish to web

Hey, I've been using iweb for about 10 months with no problem, but recently when I publish my sites to the web all is ok. Then I save iweb all is still ok. Yet after I close and reopen iweb some of my pages in one site are blank and I have to start them over again and re-publish. Then the same thing keeps being repeated, but only to those same pages. Does anyone know why this is happening? Could it be the external WD hard drive i have connected?
Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.I use iWebSites to manage the multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process and move it to another location on your HD until you're satisfied the separation process is completed and what you want.
This lets me open, edit and republish one site at a time.

Way to change all page links to 'fit page' view?

Hi, I'm working on a PDF document which has about 130 pages. The person who initially created all the index page links via a clickable menu item set the page view to a custom one which means the pages show at varying sizes when clicked and the page displayed. I want them all to be 'fit page' but as far as I know to do that I'm going to have to edit each link via properties and change it manually.
Thanks
Guy
