Iweb and keynote tricky question!

Is there a way to make a presentation in keynote with hyperlinks and transitions and publish that in iweb?i would be very thankful if somebody can describe the procedure...if there is one of course

There's a few things to remember, but I can only think of one right now.
It would be good if QuickTime offered a "Loading" screen by default or allowed you to create one without tools like LiveStage Pro, because interactive presentations with links back and forth have to load completely and, until they do, the first slide will play over and over.
The one thing to remember is that you ALWAYS want to LINK using NON-transitional slides if you're going to a slide that isn't the next one. ie, going from slide 2 - 3, fine, no problem, link however you want with whatever transition you want. Going from slide 2-5, as long as you make sure slide 5 doesn't START with a transition (from slide 4), you're good.

IWeb and GoDaddy combo question:

I built a web site (with pictures and videos) on iWeb '09. I'm using GoDaddy for ftp hosting. All the Login info is correct according to GoDaddy ie; login name, password, server address, user name. iWeb won't accept the password as valid. I've changed it on GoDaddy a couple times to reset and try again on iWeb. No luck. Any answers?

Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
3 - launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
Another option is to publish your site to a folder on your hard drive and use a 3rd party FTP client like Cyberduck, Transmit or YummyLite to upload the files to the server. You might try one of those clients to see if it will take your user name and password. With them you'll get a Finder like window of your account folder on the server.

Iweb and keynote animation

I am trying to animate some simple block shapes on an iweb site. Moving position and opacity. I understand that this can be done in Keynote and in theory exported to iweb. But it just isn't working. Firstly I export the page behind the animated object too, and secondly no animation happens in iweb. Also...does it have to be exported to an iweb 'blog' or 'podcast' page? I really just wanted a slightly fancy banner header on a welcome page.
Can anyone please give me simple instructions? I've seen 'gifs' mentioned in forum discussions but don't understand how to create them either.
Any help gratefully received!! I'm using Keynote 08 and iWeb 08, on a Macbook.

Export your animation from Keynote as a flash file - .swf.
Go to this web page for instructions on uploading the file to your server and the code for pasting into a snippet box on your iWeb page....

New to Iweb and have some questions

Hello,
I am attempting to build a website for the first time using Iweb 3.0.2. The first 3 pages of the site were built and uploaded using Iweb. There were some issues that my father-in-law corrected using a html editor on his PC. After making the changes he then uploaded the changes to the site. I am trying to now figure out if there is a way to download the current website back to my Iweb so I can continue to build the website.

No, you can't import the published pages back into iWeb.
Each time you republish with iWeb it will over write the changes your father-in-law made to the code.
You could make a copy of the published code with a free program such as TextWrangler and paste the code you want retained back in to the particular html page after you republish with iWeb. However, this ends up very time consuming, it would be better to get it right in iWeb so that you don't spend so much time with post publishing edits.

IWeb and iTunes Playlist Question:

Hi,
I would like to add an iTunes-Playlist to my Website. When I select the Playlist in the Media-Browser, iWeb creates a List with arrows pointing to the right. They are the same as they are in the iTMS. Where do they point??
Dirk

I got it... I published the site to a folder, that works also for that. The arrows point to the iTMS...

Color matching: iWeb '09 and Keynote '09

I need a little help. I am planning to use a movie of a Keynote '09 presentation on my iWeb '09 website. In both Keynote and iWeb I have specified the same exact background colors using the same three (identical) RGB values. However, the colors are not the same when I import the movie into iWeb.
I need the colors to match exactly. Any suggestions re: what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks,

In System Preferences, under Display and under Color, what is your Display profile set for? I've been dealing with an inconsistency between iWeb and Keynote for awhile, and this MAY be able to help you. I've found that, if I set my profile to Gamma 2.2 or sRGB before opening iWeb, the colors between the two end up being a LOT closer, almost exact. The screen looks odd at sRGB, not so much at Gamma 2.2, so you may want to change it back after all your Publishing activities are done.
This page is a good example if the results.
http://www.makentosh.com/tipsfromtheiceberg/Blog/Entries/2008/7/20Clip_a_little_Web_foryou.html
I created the logo in another app and brought it into Keynote as a .pdf. I picked the color of the medium shade of red for the banner in the back. If my profile is set as normal, when I copy this over to iWeb and publish, the red banner in the back is off. If I change my profile, THEN open iWeb and publish, everything looks like you see it. It has something to do with how iWeb is treating colors and how it creates the images required for display, but this may help.
NOW, to throw ANOTHER wrench into things, I found that this COULD be affected by the browser and it's ability to render colors properly as well! While it looked bad on a Mac, it looked fine on a PC, now, it looks better on both, but that may be something else you'll want to take a look at when trying to troubleshoot the issue.

IWeb Newbie: Blog HTML Question

Hi, I'm relatively new to IWeb and have a question relating to blogs created in Iweb. When I create a new entry for my blog, and try to add a video for youtube (as a link) in place of the default picture, the video does not appear on my main page. I have used the html snippet and see the video on my blog entry page, however it does not appear on my main page. How do I go about including video's in a new blog entry page so I can view them directly from my main (intro) page? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I am using the Modern Frame template for my web site. When I add the blog template, a pre-set template shows up. Is there any way to edit or change it?
no and yes... no, you can't do much of anything while working inside iweb; yes, you can change it by changing the template xml file. Suzanne Boben at 11Mystics.com have done it for years.
For example, I would like to change the hyperlink color from red to blue. It won't let me do that. I go to the hyperlink inspector and I can't choose anything.
outside of changing template xml, this can be done in two ways (beside the above method):
1) post edit the blog CSS file (search my post for blog CSS), this requires post edit and perhaps after every publishing.
2) build your own widget to change the blog CSS and you only need to add the widget once. see my example here: http://www.cyclosaurus.com/Home/CyclosaurusBlog/CyclosaurusBlog.html
the example is done with my widget.
Also, when I view the web site on my computer, it looks fine, however when I view it on my iphone 3GS it shows an old font that I was using, why?

IWeb 09, Pages 09, and Keynote 09 can't load iPhoto images in media browser

Ever since yesterday, my iWeb 09, Pages 09, and Keynote 09 have been experiencing problems loading iPhoto 09 images in the media browser. I have no problems loading my audio files, movie files, and widgets, but when it comes to iPhoto picture files, the system just hangs. Luckily, it doesn't crash; it just says "Loading iPhoto images" forever.
I'm guessing that the problem is with iPhoto 09, because the media browser has no problems loading my Aperture picture files.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get iWeb, Pages, and Keynote to load my iPhoto pics in the media browser?
Thanks!

1. Quit iPhoto.
2. Go to your Pictures Folder (or where ever you have your Library) and find the iPhoto Library there (Your Donor Library).
3. Right Click on it, and from the resulting menu select ‘Show Package Contents’. A Finder window will open and the Library will be exposed.
4. Find the following files
AlbumData.xml
AlbumData2.xml
and move them to the desktop.
5. Close up the Library and restart iPhoto. This will force iPhoto to rebuild those files which are key to sharing.
Then restart the other apps and see does that help.
By the way: where is your Library? On the Start Up Disk? On an external?
Regards

IWeb and iTunes question.....

I'm using iWeb to publish my podcast and have submitted it to iTunes and it has been added to the directory, however, the artwork is incorrect at iTunes. How can I fix this?
I've used all the podcast elements in iWeb and have artwork for the podcast, however, iTunes is using a background image from my website as the artwork to display.
here's the website link: http://web.mac.com/ericd2/iWeb/

Eric... there is no fix for this yet. Many people are having the same issue. I've searched the discussion board, talked to the genius bar, apple care, itunes support, iweb support, and .mac support. I've tried rewriting my rss.xml file and loading it to idisk and syncing, I've also tried deleting the original podcasting page after copying and pasting all of the text, graphics, audio and video to a new page and resubmitting it to iTunes. I've also had itunes delete the feed and resubmit it.
None of this works. Some of us have artwork, some of us don't. Itunes is aware and is working on it.
Sorry man, wish I had better news.

I updated my macbook pro, received may 2011 and now iTunes, iPhoto, and keynote won't work. What should I do?

In May 2011, I received my macbook pro. I updated it a while ago. When I tried to open iTunes it wouldn't work, so I deleted it from my computer and downloaded it again. The same thing happened with iPhoto, but I couldn't find a download for it. And now Keynote isn't working...What should I do?

Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
Create a user profile that accurately reflects your version of the Mac OS, or include that information in your first message.
Give details of the problem. A statement such as "it doesn't work" conveys no information. If it did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I was expecting B; but I got C instead." Include the complete text of any error messages you saw and where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever. Also include the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any relevant information, but it didn't help, include details.
Post in the appropriate discussion area. Usually that means the area for the type of Mac you're using, if the problem is hardware-related, or for the Mac OS version you’re running, if it’s more software-related. Some other Apple technologies -- including iPhoto, iTunes, and Keynote -- have their own discussion areas.

So, iDisk (great with MobileMe) is closed! Ok. I got the most expensive iCloud Plan and LOVED storing files online. Is that REALLY OVER??!! (besides Numbers', Pages', and Keynote's docs sync).. Will I REALLY have to downgrade to "free" on iCloud?!!

So, iDisk (great with MobileMe) is closed! Ok. I got the most expensive iCloud Plan and LOVED storing files online. Is that REALLY OVER??!! (besides Numbers', Pages', and Keynote's docs sync).. Will I REALLY have to downgrade to "free" on iCloud and PAY for "DropBox", "Google Drive" or "Microsft's Sky Whatever.."?!!
I could not log in to this Support Community with my UPDATED Apple ID (and this is another issue I can't believe Apple just says "NO, you CAN'T!" - deleting other (old) Apple IDs we've created by mistake or a long time ago and being able to have it all on ONE SINGLE UPDATED Apple ID - ALSO saving Apple's storage servers, etc.).
Anyway, my Apple ID for better communication is [email protected] (but I really couldn't log in here - it kept saying that the e-mail is already registered, etc. I know it, I'm trying to use it here, that's all...
So, really. Of course a lot of people don't care about the iDisk issue. That's fine, we all love and hate specific apps or software.. But why has Apple just shut it down, since it was so EASY to use (as DropBox) on all our Apple devices?!! So, we really can't upload/store any kind of files anymore and that's it?!
I used iDisk when MobileMe was still alive, and it was great to have my files from work, home, any backup (whatever we want) uploaded and synced and used in our Macs, iPhones and iPads. If we have the OPTION of an iCloud Plan (the top one, for example), but we just don't like the automatick backups for the iPhones and iPads, nor the Pictures' sync function.. Why can't we just have the SAME simple and efficient/great service of the iDisk installed in each device?!
Do we really have to go back and downgrade back to the free iCloud Option (just for keeping the e-mail) and paying extra for DropBox, Google, Microsoft, any other services?! I have nothing against them - I actually have DropBox and it works great because it REMINDS me of iDisk!! But WHY NOT just keep it simple and closed with 1 company/platform/option - Apple's iOS, OSX, etc.
That's why I decided to have a Macbook Pro, an iPhone 4S and an iPad 3rd. Generation (for example, along with other products and services such as Apple TV).. I know I'm CHOOSING to stay with 1 world, that's fine. And that's why I didn't (yet) go for a Samsung phone or another tablet.. I wanna stick with 1 pattern and I have chosen Apple's..
Just can't understand such an innovative company make such decisions (such as shutting down iDisk or not letting us just DELETE Apple IDs we do NOT use anymore).. Please, just some guidance or confirmation if that's correct: No way of uploading files others than Numbers', Pages' or Keynote's!!??
Thank you very much!!
Peace.

Thank you Roger.
That's exactly what I was afraid of...
During all the time I have been a loyal customer of Apple's products and services, these have been the only 2 issues that I really can't understand (specially when we look at Apple's strategies and management)...
1) Not being able to DELETE (simply delete or deactivate) old or duplicated Apple IDs... I have 3 different Apple IDs but only one is the real Apple ID I use for everything, with all my purchases and services (such as e-mail) related to it (Why won't Apple jus let people delet, deactivate or - at least - merge Apple IDs?! That would help everyone, including Apple when we think about costs, storage, database maintenance, etc.) - Actually, even when I gave up on trying to delete other Apple IDs, I tried to have the one I really use and have organized to use my @me.com address as the Apple ID itself (as Apple asks us to do - and makes sense, of course). But never worked. Just because I created that Apple ID with a @hotmail.com account (since it asks for a valid e-mail when you create an Apple ID, it NEVER lets me now change my Apple ID to my @me.com e-mail address - I mean JUST having my @me.com e-mail address as my primary e-mail and my Apple ID (for example, having that old @hotmail.com e-mail address out of it, cleaned..)!
2) The other issue was this one, about iDisk. Of course there must be reasons for having it shut down, maybe the apps used by iPhone and iPad, along with the folder on Mac OSX, is way too complicated, expensive, full of bugs, I don't know. But if we decide to pay for 50GB of online storage, why even THINK about different options for files we use?! I have Dropbox, I've read about Google Drive and Microsoft SkyDrive, etc. But I just wanted to STICK with a single ALL-APPLE solution.. That is.. Pay the annual fee for the 50GB and just still keep any file I want on the cloud with iDisk. So, what Apple tells me is that if I have other files than iWork or PDF (and some few exceptions), I should actually downgrade to "free" iCloud and decide to PAY for another solution (organization), such as DropBox, Google Disk or Drive (I don't really know), Micrsoft's SkyDrive..
Of course there's the strategy of getting more and more people to use Pages, Numbers and Keynote (buying them for iOS and Mac OSX, as I already have and love them). But "killing" iDisk and just telling users to look for other storage solutions doesn't really sound like Apple.
I have seen so many questions here about both issues (deleting or merging Apple IDS + iDisk back since we pay for storage) that I really believe Apple should reconsider these issues or, at least, open the issue and let us know what would be the best "partner solution" for iCloud...
Thanks a lot!
All the best...

IWeb and multiple users

So i'm trying to see how i can set up a website in iweb and edit that website from multiple computers and it stay up-to-date. is there a way to do this?

thanks, that does help a bit, i think i can figure that out. my next question is what happens to my existing iweb sites if i try to open a different DOMAIN file from a different source?
ie: i have like over 20 iWeb sites in my iWeb 2.0 that are in a DOMAIN file stored in the default location. if i go to open (by double clicking) a DOMAIN file from an iDisk for instance to edit it and it opens iWeb, what will happen with my other sites? and will this set that iDisk DOMAIN file location as my default?

IWeb and Club web site...access restricted to club members

I have just volunteered to 'think about' doing our local harley owners group website since the last webmaster has jacked it in.
The old site has gone and I will have to start from fresh. It will be hosted on a commercial local server with server space and domain name already registered.
I have seen reference to password protected areas of websites created using iWeb, and although possible it does not seem that iWeb is actually designed for the job. Also the threads i have seen do not seem to be referring to multiple usernames and pwds, stored in a database, but rather a single username/pwd
What the proposed new site needs is a public area, plus a private area with each member having access using there own Username and password. The Private area would need a Classified 'For sale ' area with members being to add and upload their own ads.
is this sort of thing possible from within iWeb or is it way outside its capabilities?
I thought it best to ask now...before I build the basic public site, and make a start on the private section...only to then find it is not possible
Thanks
Neil

Something exactly like that....fancy an unpaid job?
Guess I'll have to get to grips with the thing (iWeb) and see what I can do.
Before I ask any more questions, I'll have to have a play with it before asking such things as ....how did you do......
I made this one up using it a week or so ago...
http://www.paisnel.co.uk/hog
My old ones from years back were done in ....who knows...some freeware Windows WYSIWYG editors

and the later one just using the built in gallery software offered by the hosting site

Photo file issues with iWeb and Aperture....also too much duplicating!!

A little background, before I get into my iWeb issue.....
Years ago I tried iPhoto, but I didn't like how it duplicated all my photo files and I wasn't very fond of the file structure it created. Years later (last month) I got Aperture. Aperture (still has a long way to go) also duplicates all your files and places them in their own file structure. If I can get along with Aperture (and if it will get along with my other programs), I won't mind putting all my files into the file structure it creates. But for now, I still have my original files in the original file structure I have had for many years as a back up.
On to my issue with iWeb and Aperture....
To add photos to iWeb, you can either go into the iWeb media center or you can drag and drop photos from other locations.
1st: iWeb media center
To get my photos into the media center, I would have to load them into iPhoto (iP 6 does allow you to keep your original file structure, but it still creates .jpg files, which fills up your hard-drive. More duplicates I don't need or want). So that is out for me. iP6 will let you view and use your Raw files.
Another way is to drag and drop your file structure directly into the media center window. I don't think this duplicates any files (at least I haven't been able to find any), but it takes an awfully long time to thumbnail all your photos (several hours and still waiting for 22K + files). Also, it won't show any Raw files. Again, out for me.
Aperture won't let you drag and drop its library into the media center at all. So if I was to move all my files into the Aperture Library, I wouldn't be able to access them for iWeb at all.....Out for me.
2nd: Drag and Drop
I was able to drag and drop Raw files directly into iWeb from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Adobe Lightroom.
As I said before, I am trying to move over to Aperture. However, Aperture won't let me drag and drop photos. What is the deal here??? These are both Apple programs and they won't play nice with each other. Very annoying.
Anyway, I put a link below to my iWeb test webpage I made. All the photos were Raw files that I did a drag and drop from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Lightroom. There were no problems with the publishing.
http://web.mac.com/phil_navarro/iWeb/Site%202/Drag%20and%20Drop%20test.html
So, does anyone know if they can get photos from Aperture to work?? Thanks for any responses.

Jedi,
Perhaps you are right.
I am not a web developer and I will never be. I don't feel like spending countless hours learning how to use Dreamweaver or some other Pro web app. iWeb looked like a way to start making websites of my photos for my friends and family (much easier and better than Home Page on .Mac). All I was asking was for a way to drag and drop my photos (especially Raw files) with Aperture. Which I can do with Lightroom, Adobe Bridge and C1 Pro, and without using iPhoto.
I am not a Pro photographer either, but I purchased Aperture based on what was advertised on the Apple website. From that ad, Aperture fit my photo needs almost to a tee. I am looking to adjust Raw files, Crop, Archive and keep my use of Hard Disk space down to a minimum. I can use Photoshop for the other 5% of things I do. However, Aperture has some issues (if you own it, then you already know. If you don't, you can read the Aperture Forum) This is one of the reasons I never went to iPhoto for archiving. I didn't like the way it duplicated all my files, taking up more disk space and its file structure. So even though Aperture won't play nice with other programs, I was surprised that it wouldn't play nice with any Apple programs.
After reading your post and based on what you are saying, everyone either needs to have/learn/use Pro apps only or have/learn/use iApps only. Don't Cross the Streams!!
I guess that means Apple will need to fix DVD Studio Pro. It uses photos that are in your iPhoto library and music from iTunes (iApps in a Pro app??....for shame...."it was never intended"). Also, DVD SP won't read the Aperture library. Does that mean there are 3 platforms? Pro, iApp and Mediocre??
Now I have 2 questions:
1. Can someone please tell me which apps are Pro and iApp, or if there is Mediocre? I don't want to mix them up and "Cross the Streams".
2. Again....is there anyway to use Aperture with iWeb?
TIA,
Narvon

What is the difference iWeb and Homepage

I'm trying to back up everything I had published to my iDisk (over several years) before installing Lion. The Gallery files were easy. But I'm confused about iWeb and a folder called "HomePage." The movies I had on iWeb...I could see and download. However, older movies are in a folder called HomePage. If I click on these older movies, I get a Quicktime Question mark symbol. For example, older movie 1 is located at: http://homepage.mac.com/username/iMovieTheater22.html and I cannot see it or download it. New movies, seem to be located in a different place, for example: http://web.me.com/username/myname/Austin_is_4!.html
Am I just out of luck?
Is there any way to retrieve the old movies?
Possibly worth noting...the old movies were probably published on an old MBP.

Homepage was Apple's early website hosting effort and that has been discontinued for quite a while now. The files created for the Homepage websites will reside on your iDisk in the iDisk/Sites folder.
Mount your iDisk on the Desktop and go to the Web folder. There will be the html files for the various websites and pages. The photo and video files used in those sites should be located in the Pictures and Movies folders.
For MobileMe websites all files for them will be inside folders in the iDisk/Web/Sites folder.
