Iweb and not publishing

I get the following error while trying to publish my iweb page:
There was an error determining the .Mac publish configuration values. Please try again in a few minutes.
I designed the page in the USA but am currently updating it in France (Bordeaux). I was also not able to use Safari and had to change to firefox.
What else can I do to publish my webpage?

This is what I see in a Lookup :
; <<>> DiG 9.6-ESV-R4-P3 <<>> www.toyboxtherapies.com.au cname +multiline +nocomments +nocmd +noquestion +nostats +search
;; global options: +cmd
www.toyboxtherapies.com.au. 3600 IN CNAME web.me.com.
It means that the CNAME record points to MobileMe.
So go where you manage your domain and delete the CNAME record and change the A-record(s) to point to your new webhost.
It takes some time for the changes to propagate thru the internet. A minimum of 20 minutes.
Note that when you publish to MobileMe, iWeb recieves the domainname information from the MobileMe server. Only when you publish elsewhere you have to enter the domainname. But if you do not change the settings where you host your domainname, it still directs to MMe. But that's beyond iWeb.

In iweb changes not publishing

Since changing from mobileme server to ftp server, changes to website made in iweb do not publish?

If you are uploading your website files using the iWeb FTP, any old, existing files should get overwritten automatically. Try switching to another browser like Google Chrome or Firefox to view your site.
To find the file manager you need to login to your hosting account.
You can use the freeware Cyberduck to upload files and manage files on the server but it doesn't allow you to view the files on your Mac in the same window as the ones on the server...

Iweb will not publish...

iweb will not publish. i keep getting error message saying I need to sign in but i'm ALREADY signed in. this mobilme stuff is a mess and i am not happy about this...
any suggestions on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated...

I can usually get thru on the second or third try using the File->Publish to MobileMe menu option repeatedly.

My iweb would not publish. I made a desktop folder. How do I publish the folder to iweb on mobleme?

My iweb would not publish, I made a desktop folder for my iweb pages. Now how do I publish that to mobile me?

When you have iWeb open, in the navigation column at left, click first on the NAME of your site that you wish to publish -- when you do this, you should have the Site Publishing Settings show up in the main window at right.
Next, from the popup choices next to "Publish to:" select MobileMe.
If this is the first time you are doing this, you will need to type in your MobileMe account (name or email address), and make sure the proper email contact address is input, too.
If your site will be public, you'll all set; if you need to apply privacy settings, you do so here, too.
Now, click on the "Publish Site" button/icon at bottom in the toolbar, or select the same command from the menu bar in iWeb, under File. For the first time, you should choose "Publish Entire Site" (and be patient, it will take a while). Later, when you make changes, use the "Publish Site Changes" (much faster).
When your site is published, iWeb will present you with a sheet window with options to immediate View your site online in your browser, announce it to others (via Mail), or just hit "OK."
Gooooooooo iWeb!

IWeb will not publish to Mobile Me

I made several changes to our iWeb site last night and have published to the default Mobile Me location. While everything seems to publish correctly it obviously isn't happening.
All the changed page icons in iWeb remain red instead of turning to the published blue.
The old site is there but several pages/links are missing and the correct password for the photo galleries does not work.
Ideas on how to resolve this issue?
I am currently republishing to see is that resolves the issue. This is the 3rd re-publish.

IWEB updates not publishing

I recently procured a domain name with the intention of creating an IWEB site using mobileme as a host. With a domain name registered with GoDaddy, I published the site and after some phone conversation with GoDaddy was able to reach the site. In turn, the site URL showed as the following http://www.xxxxxxx.com/OurLifeIn...%21/Welcome.html although I had already made changes. When using "visit" in IWeb the URL is http://www.xxxxxxx.com/WesJansAdventures/index.html and does not show. The latter is correct. How do I correct?
Wes

Please provide your real url so people can see for themselves what is happening.
As a general rule you should not name your top page in iWeb "index" as this may conflict with index.html files automatically created by iWeb and cause problems. Use Welcome or Home or whatever.

Why did Steve decide to eliminate superior products like MobileMe and iWeb and not just raise the price?

I've been looking into moving 3 web sites that I easily created using iWeb and Mobile me and it is unbarably difficult to use what non Apple users have to put up with. I was so happy that I could throw a site together for someone and it would just work. Now I'm looking at 5 times the cost and 1/5th the quality. Why didn't Apple just raise the price if it was unprofitable? MobileMe and iWeb are a GREAT service to Apple customers. I feel this discontinuation is very unfortunate for many.

Actually, the discontinuation of MobileMe is an opportunity to move on to more professional website hosting and management. MMe is just too social networking oriented and lacking in serious webstite hosting capability.
Now I'm looking at 5 times the cost and 1/5th the quality
You've got to be kidding! Web hosting that has more hosting features that MMe had is readily available for as little as $3.95/mo. That's only $48/year - aboiut 1/2 of what MMe costs. Included are a domain name, unlimited storage and transfer, subdomains, multiple email addresses, advanced security features and, something MobileMe never had, 24/7 actual ear-to-ear customer support! What a novel idea. Actually quickly contacting and talking to a real person to get help on a problem.
I moved about 30 websites from MMe to my new host in about an hour once the new server was setup. This describes how I did it: iW13 - Easily Transfer Website Folders From MobileMe to a 3rd Party Server.
This tutorial explains how I host multiple sites with just one domain name: iW16 - Using HostExcellence.com with iWeb. The same can be done with subdomains but the folder method I used was easer in my opinion.
Depending on your website's design and intented use iWeb an still be a viable web builder. However, for more complex websites and connecting with mobile users one will have to begin using other applications. Read the following:
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.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
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.
Click to view full size
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: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
You can move you 3 websites to a new host in no time and save money doing it.

IWeb '09 not publishing accurately

This is driving me crazy: Simple elements like words that I am formatting in iWeb with color, font, size, shadow, hyperlink definition, etc., while looking and acting perfect in iWeb, do not make the translation to the published version (publishing to a local folder). These same elements (words) either disappear, change color, change font, revert to pre-saved (or other erroneous) text, color, size, font in the published version. I've tried redoing the site from scratch (one page at a time), quitting iWeb then re-launching, re-starting my computer, removing possible offending elements, but to no avail. Any ideas? Is this a known flaw in iWeb? Helllllllllp........

Try the troubleshooting steps under "Fix iWeb" here.....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/WebMusic/iWebTips.html
The restart dumps out all the redundant files.
Three is a bug that has really bugged me which screws up changes in hyperlinks sometimes.
To get out of this one I have to delete the item(s), save, quit iWeb, restart my Mac, relaunch and then add it again.
Painful and slow but it works.
Maybe one day the iWeb developers will try to fix this one!
Apparently they don't seem to care that their incompetence is wasting a lot of my time. Either that or they don't actually use iWeb which is probably more likely as is evident from their many serious blunders.

IWeb 09 not publishing new album to folder.

As of earlier today, I had 5 albums on my album photos page. I tried adding a new one today. I saved, published to folder, and then uploaded it to my website via Cyberduck. I went online to see if it was up or not and apparently it didn't upload. I looked into the published folder and it isn't there either. iWeb is acting as if it did publish the new album. It shows the album on the photos page, but not in the published folder.
I import my photos from Aperture 3.
Any ideas?

Did you try clearing the MMe login cache by logging in with a bogus user name and password? This this:
1 - go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
2 - login with a bogus username and password, like "test" and "test". This clears the caches.
3 - login with your correct username and password.
4 - launch iWeb and try again.
When you say nothing happens does iWeb go thru the motions? You did check the site online to confirm, right?

Iweb site not publishing

I modified my web site and I am trying to publish it but it will not publish any change. I am not using mobile me but ftp publishing

Publish your site to a local folder and launch this in the browser by double clicking the index.html file to see if the changes are present in this version. If they are then your problem is with FTP.
Always empty your browser cache after updating and before visiting your published site.

SOS! iweb will not publish due to a mobile me error...

Ok, I am so incredibly desperate for someone to help me. I'm hoping this has happened to someone else and they can tell me what I need to do.
I have created an iweb. Wow it looks great etc. I signed up for Mobile Me because I wanted to be able to publish it. Mobile Me signs in on the internet...however when ever I try to 'publish' my iweb and log into Mobile Me through my computer it says there is a validation error. But I am using the exact same username and password online and it lets me in.
I have contacted the mobile me online support team and they helped me troubleshoot...so many different things. It turns out it isn't connected to a mobile me error apparently..
Has this happened to anyone else????? The website is my professional portfolio and I need to have it up and going for my interviews!
Please help!!!!!
Thanks so much!

It might sound oversimplified but it could be that you have old login/Keychain items that have become corrupted or misrouted (it happens).
Try downloading Onyx for your version Mac OS and running ALL it's maintenance and cleaning routines (it's a free app). That will clear out old log/Keychain and login items without affecting your current viable passwords.
If that doesn't work you may need to use the Keychain First Aid tool to fix your login credentials stored on your machine. You can find it in your Utilities folder on your Applications folder, open the Keychain Access app and run the First Aid tool.
If neither Onyx nor the repair tool helps let us know.

Iweb 09 not publishing to Mobile Me

Iweb was not publishing changes to my personal domain name, AND now it won't let me publish at all!

Hi, i am new to the apple community so bare with me whilst i struggle to explain...
I recently purchased a hosting site through netregistry.net. www.toyboxtherapies.com.au I spoke to them to allow the changes to the CNAME through their site.They did this for me. Once they did this my original 3 page site that I had published to mobileme came up.
When i added changes to the site, none of them were published even though iweb said they had been. I gave the site 48 hours (well, i gave them a week) to update the changes.
I went to double check today and now iweb wont let me publish to my domain name at all, it just lists File>Set up personal domain on mobile me.
When I log into mobile me my domain name is there. I have tried removing t and setting it up again, but nothing is happening with iweeb. Still the same problem.
Please help! I am trying to get this business off the ground and its all very frustrating!

This is what I see in a Lookup :

IWeb will not Publish. The publish icon stays red and no changes are made. Please help.

The question says everything. When I click "publish site," the world icon at the top of the screen stays red (instead of whirling about and turning blue), and no changes are made. When I exit the program, it says, do you want to exit while changes are still being made?
This is confusing, since nothing seems to be uploading according to the icon. The website really needs to be updated and I welcome and appreciate any and all help. Thank you.

See this page for an axample of publishing settings...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
If this doesn't get things going try the second method - publishing to a local folder - to see if that works.

Can You Build a Website with iWeb and then publish it to another server?

I am very new at this but like how easy iWeb makes it to build a website. A few questions for the newbie:
1. I want to build a site but have another server I use who would host it. After watching the iWeb tutorials it looks as if you have to publish it on mobileme.com. But I already have hosting with another company. How do you do that?
2. I also have a domain name I want to show up in the hyperlink bar not mobileme.com/____, is that possible to do with this program?
3. Are their other templates for iWeb? I see about 12 or so they offer, can you search and download for new ones or is what's there all you have to choose from?
I appreciate any help on these matters.
Thanks!
