Iweb and IE problem

I'm having a problem with my websites Navigation Menu, but only when Internet Explorer is being used on a PC to browse. Firefox and Safari upload my website just fine and everything works great. I read somewhere that IE doesn't like vertical lines. So, I fixed the line problem and now at least the images come up but am still missing the navigation Menu and some text dropped off. And i've been reading about .png files not working all that well either with IE.
Does anyone know how I can solve this problem? I've designed this in iWeb.

Thanks, Amy

I'm using explorer 7 and your site looks the same to me as when I use safari. You could be experiencing a cache issue with your explorer computer. Try emptying the cache, I'm not seeing any problem here. However, the middle photo on the bottom row of bathroom pics looks out of place. It was confusing to me as an "after" photo for that row of images.

Iweb and memory problem?

Hey all,
I've been using iWeb as a blog and now have close to 200 posts. A few have photos and most posts are extremely short. Now when I use iWeb, it's a royal pain. I can't use any other applications when it's publishing. When I initially open the application, It can take several minutes to even get a new posting page up. This didn't happen for the first several months when I had the computer. Also, Safari seizes up often now as well, especially if iWeb is running in the background.
I haven't added any extra onerous applications, like games, and I don't run memory intensive apps like photoshop when iWeb is open. This is driving me crazy. Any solutions? Or do I just have to buy RAM (which I don't understand because the app worked fine several months ago.)
I had an iBook for well over a year(this is a MacBook), and didn't have problems like this. Admittedly didn't have iWeb either. I thought this was a meaner, leaner, faster machine, what gives?
Thanks in advance,

Brilliat-Savarin:
Without iWeb running are you experiencing any slowdown in the overall performance of your MacBook? How much free space do you have? How much RAM do you have?
You could try clearing out the iWeb cache folder located in your User/Library/Caches folder.
Do you Twango?

You haven't a problem. You simply did not read the iWeb Help :

In IOS7 none of my YouTube movies show up on my site build with iWeb and its YouTube widget. On an iPad running IOS6 the site still works fine, and all movies play well. What is going on,and what can I do to solve this problem ???

It's only Safari/iOS7. Chrome iOS7 works fine.
Solution?
Go to YT and grab the code.
Paste it in a HTML Snippet.

Problems with iWeb and mobile me

Ciao everyone,
I've been having a ridiculous amount of problems with my mobile me account and my iweb. 2 weeks ago I was fine with my iweb and mobile me but all of a sudden my iweb would say it publish but it really doesn't publish. The I went to the mac store a couple of times and thought I would get answers but I didnt get any answer even though I had a couple of one to one visits with a couple of stores in NYC. So when i publish it it shows that it published in my www.me.com/idisk/iweb folder but then it doesn't show in my website. Then one guy told me that I should just recreate a new site but copy and past all the old information to the new one. Now it won't publish at all because I guess its a lot of information to publish at once. I get an error message saying error iweb was not able to publish please try again later. Any help?

Hey you guys,
Thanks for the help, but I did try to publish all to my iweb and it didn't work. I do try to view my published website through the file/visit published site and for some reason only my intro page is there then when i go into the main page i get an error page. I also did go to my finder/Go/idisk/myidisk/iweb/site/iweb and saw my websites folder. Everything seems to be in it. I tried to take a screen shot of what is in my folder but I can't post pictures. In my folder I have a folder for gallery, index.html, site, shites.rss, and my website folder usvisualswebsite
Any other suggestions? This is really frustrating. I also created another test site with nothing in it and published it and it says it finishes publishing but the blank test page isn't there.

I bought a new iMac. iWeb and all folders migrated over, no problem, but I cannot bring up my website - it only seems to allow for creating a new site.

I bought a new iMac. iWeb and all its folders migrated over, no problem, but I cannot bring up my website - it only seems to allow for creating a new site.

You need the 'Domain' file in which iWeb keeps its data. This lives by default in (user)/Library/Application Support/iWeb. You need to locate it on the old machine and copy it to the same position in the new machine. Note that it is the Library folder in your Home folder, not the one at root level.
This folder is hidden on Lion and above; to access it, in the Finder go to the ‘Go’ menu and hold down the Option (Alt) key; the Library folder will appear as a choice. In Mavericks you can make it permanently visible - open your Home Folder the from the Finder's View menu, choose show View Options and check Show User Library.

My website created with Iweb and hosted on mobileMe is not uploading well on all computers. What could be the problem ?

I got a chance to look at it on a PC. Totally hosed up. It loads incorrectly then parts of it go blank.
I have a site that is based very much on one of the built-in templates and it works fine on the same PC. It contains only text boxes, image placeholders, and images with "picture frame" borders. Nothing fancy, no overlays, no extra code or anything. I haven't looked much at the other templates so I don't know if yours is mostly a template or how much you may have modified one or what tricks you may have done to get the look you wanted. Whatever it is, IE does not like it. Unfortunately, you can't really ignore them as was suggested; they make up a large part of your audience.

IWeb username and password problem

I've published a few sites now using iWeb, and just ran into this problem for the first time. The site I'm working on when published now asks for my apple username and password (my apple email address and apple password, for itunes etc etc) instead of the username and password I enter in iweb for password protecting the site. It says something like 'the username and password for your mobile me domain is incorrect. and when I put in my email address and apple password, it works. All my other sites that I set individual usernames and passwords for are working fine.
Anyone know why it would be doing this? I did copy the pages from another site. could that be part of the problem?

Have you found a good solution to your problem yet? I had an issue like you describe, where I thought I had to enter my MobileMe user/pass when prompted when browsing.
The issue with passwords that I saw was when creating more than one site within a single domain.sites file. I have one public site without a password, and then the other several sites in this file do have passwords, and each of them has a different password. With this multi-site and multi-password configuration, I was confused why the passwords seemed to NOT be working.
The result seems to be that the LAST site published is the user/pass used for ALL of the password protected sites. So right now, after editing a page in one of my private sites, I publish that site, and then I ALSO re-publish the site with the password that I want. This way at least I know the password being used. But it's a single password used for ALL the private sites.

End of MobileMe and consequent problems with iWeb.

It appears that MobileMe will end next year. One will have to find an alternative means of publishing a blog.
iWeb claims to have the means of posting a blog as an ftp feed to a commercial web hosting service. However, there are snags.
I have been doing some testing and am able to publish a new site to the web. But, only the front page appears. Additions, such as photo galleries do not get posted, although iWeb appears to prepare the page for publication.
I am using the latest version of iWeb. My domain is registered by GoDaddy and the I use 1and1.
As you can see, I am probably not using the jargon correctly. One of the merits of iWeb and MobileMe was that one could just publish and not fuss with the technical stuff.
Are there any suggestions as to how I can overcome my difficulties and can anyone explain why iWeb does not perform properly when publishing to an ftp server?
Cordially,
David Amies

@David: your site loads just fine. All the right things are there. Clear your browser cache as others suggested.
If the FTP approach gives you trouble, try consider hosting it yourself, export the page locally onto your Mac, enable webSharing to host the site form your Mac and see how it works for ya. Good internet upload speeds are required.
I've actually just finished moving all my stuff from MobileMe back to my mac. My COmcast connection is decent enough to allow for a webhost setup.
I publish my site locally to my Sites folder in my user folder
I set up Apache to point to it directly - there are nice instructions available
I signed up for an account and domain for free @ dyndns.com - they also periodically watch for your dynamic IP address, so your DNS will always get resolved and your domain.dyndns.org link will always point to your Mac's IP address. Speed isn't as stellar as professional hosting services, but is sufficient and I absolutely love the $0 price tag on this. I'm not using any web hosting services from now on. DynDNS is good enough and they've been around forever too.

Iweb publishing and udate problems

I can't get my iweb sites to publish at .mac, and I can't get iweb to check for updates.
I can upload to my idisk, I can get other Apple updates, all other web connections are working fine. I can publish the web site to a folder, including one on my idisk. I did publish a test (garbage) iweb site about a month ago, when I first got this machine, and the only way I was able to get rid of it was deleting the files from the idisk. Which I only did after trying to publish the most recent updates.
The error mesages I get are:
"The update server could not be contacted. Check your Internet connection or try again later." (when I try and update iweb)
"There was an error determining the .Mac publish configuration values. Please try again in a few minutes." (when I try and publish) I have tried the button and both publish choices on the file menu.

Use the second option shown on this page to publish to a local folder...

The double click the index.html file to launch your site in the browser.
Make any changes in iWeb and republish.
iWeb stores the website data in a Domain.sites2 file. See this page...

IWeb not responding and mds problems / death cycle

I tried to use media browser in iWeb. That caused iWeb to lock up and mds to peg the CPU at 190%. I killed mds. iWeb still no good. Forced-quit iWeb and restarted and it starts with media browser (iMovie) selected, so I'm in this endless death cycle. How do I get out of this?

oh! I checked out the console messages searching on iWeb and found this...
12/12/09 10:23:39 AM [0x0-0x2ea2ea].com.apple.iWeb[5212] Error: MPEG2Decompressor[0x1a060280]: failed to initialize AppleVA (-5)
No idea what that means. I think if I could just get iWeb not not start up with mediabrowser iMovie selected, i could continue to get work done.

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 tried to implement photo albums using iweb and got a publishing error.

I tried to implement photo albums using iweb and got a publishing error. All was fine with my site until I added the photo album page. The software doesnt say what the error is exactly, only that it is a publishing error to my ftp
Exact message "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider."
If I reduce the albums inside to 1 then it seems to work but that takes away from the usefullness of multiple albums.
my iWeb version is 3.0.4 (601)

Publish your site to a folder on your hard drive to see if the publication will proceed successfully and open the site locally with your browser to confirm all of the alums are there and work. If they do 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.
If you're still not able to publish from iWeb to your server download and use the free Cyberduck to upload your website files to the server. Users have found that CD has been successful when iWeb had problems.

Editable Regions and Templates -- Problem in IE

Hello,
I have a template that I use throughout my site. The template
includes
the Spry Menu Bar and three editable regions. The pages all
look great
in Firefox. But in IE6 and IE7, there is a problem--white
space
vanishes and the text is too close to the objects above it.
Specifically, The <h3>Page
Title</h3>appears to close underneath
<td>. It's fine in
Firefox, however.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
=====================
Here's the code.
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
<body text="#333333"
vlink="#333333" alink="#333333"
leftmargin="0"
topmargin="0"
marginwidth="0"
marginheight="0">
<TABLE width="800" border=0
align="center" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0
bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

<h3>Page Title</h3>

TEST BED:
I shrinked my test site to just 1 photo page with only 3 pictures and I I published it to a folder:
Safari 3.1.1 has no problems
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.2 has no problems
Opera 9.5 has no problems
IE 7.0.5730.13 cannot render any picture !!!!
DEEP DIVE:
IE fails and if "notifications" are turned on complains about run time error "Error: Access Denied" on line 504 of a script. I went deeper and using the Microsoft Just in Time Debugging features apparently the offending javascript is "iWeb - iWebSite.js" with an ajaxRequest called "req.open('GET',url,true)"
iWEB on LEOPARD is no better
I booted with an external disk using Leopard and I used iWeb just 1 photos page
no way IE still complains (so far I am using Mac Tiger level)
HOW CAN YOU HELP
To those of you who succeeded with iWeb+IE (and have time to lend) I can send the zipped 2MB actual iWeb "package" named "Domain.site2" used by my iWeb to save the site under editing before any publishing.
you temporarily rename your "Domain.site2" + substitute it with my "Domain.site2" + start iWeb and see if you can publish/see it correctly.
Please send me a private mail if you think you can help.
Seriously thinking of dumping iWeb...
