IWeb and TRACEROUTE IN TERMINAL BOX - is it safe to type in box on my Mac?

I have a new iWeb site, newly hosted by a British company (not Mobile Me).
They want me to do a trace route from my iMac OS X 10.5.8 and send them the results.
This is because I cannot log into their cPanel because I get a message (on Safari and Firefox) that SSL encryption is required for access.
I do not want to do anything to upset the way my Mac runs.
They asked me to go to Finder-Applications-Utilities-Terminal and put in:
traceroute (and then my domain name)
But
In the Terminal box on my Mac I already have text which reads:
Last login: Thu May 28 15:48:43 on console
Macintosh:~ then my name followed by dollar sign
Is it OK to type into this box
traceroute (and then my domain name) ?
I have to access the cPanel to set up an email link and the hosting company does not know what is going wrong.

Is it OK to type into this box
That's what it is for.
You can also use the Network Utility in your Application > Utilities folder.
You will get the same results. Plus lots more options.
Edit : It has nothing to do with iWeb. Terminal is part of OS X.

Create and manage multiple web sites using iWeb and GoDaddy

Now that Mobile Me is going away and the other comments in this discussion relate to iwebsites were written several years ago, I am looking for new and up-to-date information.
I have been building and maintaining a website using my MobileMe account and porting it over to GoDaddy.
I need to re-write the site if for no other reason than it is getting cluttered and needs freshining.
I would also like to create some other seperate web sites with their own URL
1) Is iWeb capable of doing this?
2) All the information I have found on iWebsites is at least 3 years old and there does not seem to be updates to that software.
3) Are there other tools that will allow me to do this?
And finally, does the group have any words of wisdom for me.
Thanks Dunc

It is now generally acknowledged that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
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.

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.
It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

If you're running or planning on running Lion the following will be of some interest to you:
In 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.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1

You can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain. This applicaiton can be use with earlier versions of the OS to select and open multiple domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

My new computer does not have iWeb and I can't open the files from the old computer. What can I do???

I'm really desperate. I used to publish to a blog directly from iWeb, then I discontinued it. When I made the switch to iCloud, I wasn't worried because I knew my files would always be there. However, once I got a new computer, I transferred all the old files to an external hard drive and I thought everything would work just fine. Well, it didn't Neither can I open iWeb nor can I find my files.
Can anyone help me please?

New Macs have not shipped with iWeb for over 2 years and Apple has not sold or supported iWeb for at least 2 years now - Apple stopped selling it and dropped support for it when MobileMe was ditched in favour of iCloud which does not offer hosting.
If you want iWeb, then you will need to have a look at your old installation CD's for your old Mac and see if iWeb is on these and you can then install it from there or if you don't have these CD's any longer, then you'll have no option but to purchase a copy of either iLife 09 or iLife 11 from Amazon - these boxed sets both contain iWeb 09, which is the latest version of iWeb.
Other than this and as you have not done your blog for sometime, perhaps you should consider re-creating it from scratch with a software that is actively supported and updated - that is NOT iWeb any longer.
You could try using WordPress, either .com or .org - .org is good if you already have hosting and you can install WordPress directly onto your server. If you want something free, then you could use WordPress.com which is then published on the WordPress servers.
You could also take a look at EverWeb from Rage Software, which is very new and is very like iWeb with all the extras, such as drop down menus etc. Take a look at http://www.everwebapp.com.
As for your files, it sounds that when you say files, these might be the published files for your site, if you went into iWeb and published them to a local folder? This is not a backup and even if you could find these files, then iWeb will not be able to open them because it has no import facility, so cannot open an already published site - html and css files.
What you need is your domain.sites files which can be found under your User Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
I would cut your losses and if you don't have iWeb, then don't bother paying for software that is now outdated and unsupported - move onto to something new and re-create everything in either WordPress or EverWeb.

IWeb and Internet Explorer

Hi all,
I am a technician at a college, and we're using iWeb to publish websites for the students' coursework. Upon checking the health of the published pages, it is apparent that many of the students' work is not appearing in Internet Explorer correctly. Several of the images and text boxes are not appearing in the correct place and are overlapping.
So far browsing the forums a common answer appears to be 'Don't use Internet Explorer', however given that it is the world's most widely used web browser, and that we have no control over what browser the coursework moderators will be using when sample work is sent away, we are looking for a proper solution to this problem.
We are using intel-based macs with the latest version of iWeb and OSX.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Make sure you're using Web Safe Fonts and that text boxes are not overlapping or touching other text boxes or objects. Roddy's iWeb for Musicians has some good tips: How to get your iWeb Site to load in Internet Explorer. There may be some there that can help you.
The suggestion about suggestion and offering Firefox is a very good one. You'll help bring many of the students into the 21st century.

There is no license required for iWeb. Just do a Wyodor suggested and you'll be ready to go. If you're running Lion however, consider the following:

I've lost iWeb and thus my web design. I must start from scratch. Should I reinstall iWeb 09 and use that, or is there a better way?

I've lost iWeb and thus my web design. I must start from scratch. Should I reinstall iWeb 09 and use that, or is there a better way?

The file you really need is named Domain.sites2 which resides in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb foldler. It's independent from the iWeb application. If it's not in there do you have a backup of your hard drive from an earlier time?
Resinatll iWeb 3 from the iLife 09 disk or wherever you got it from originally and then try what's described below:

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

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.

ICloud, iWeb and MobileMe

I'm now on MobileMe. When I move to iCloud, will I instantly lose the ability to access iWeb and my iWebsites? I have a lot of them!

Firstly, your signature says you have 10.6.8 - is this correct? iCloud requires Lion 10.7.2. If you have that, please amend your signature to prevent confusion. If you don't have Lion you may want to consider upgrading if your Mac meets the specifications.
If you migrate to iCloud your iDisk, website hosting and Gallery will be unaffected and can be accessed exactly as before (the migration process may sign you out in System Preferences>MobileMe and you will need to sign back in).
However MobileMe will be terminated and the contents of your iDisk, including your websites, erased at the end of June. iWeb will work with other hosting services - please see this page:
http://rfwilmut.net.migrate2
If you cannot upgrade to Lion you can still migrate from MobileMe, but only your email will work and you will have to set that up manually: calendar, contacts and bookmarks syncing will not work on Snow Leopard. Please see this page:

FOUND A FIX FOR iWeb AND FACEBOOK THUMBNAILS!!!

So like everywhere I have been reading, I was also unable to get facebook to show the "fancy" link when inserting my website URL. The fix is simple....copy and paste it into the "post" box instead of typing it in. I know it sounds crazy, but it has worked for me EVERYTIME, no matter what page of my site I link to. This is what is in the head section of my page (I used iWeb SEO Tool):
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.yoursitehere.com"/>
<meta property="og:title" content="The Title You Want To Appear Here"/>
<meta property="og:description" content="The Description You Want To Show Here"/>
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.yoursitehere.com/website-image.png"/>
<link rel=”image_src” href=”http://www.yoursitehere.com/facebook-thumbnail.png" />
For my og:image, I just used my logo, and for the link rel=image, I made a screenshot of my home page and made it 250 pixels wide (I kept it proportional so I am not sure what the height is). I haven't seen the screenshot of my home page as an option for the thumbnail, but my logo pops up everytime. I am not sure you need the link rel=image line, but now that it is working, I'm leaving it in there cause I don't want to "break" the "fancy" link feature. Lol
So after all that is in your head section with your info, go to https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug and type in your website URL and hit enter. This will reset facebook's thumbnail image cache. Then, go to your page in your web browser and COPY AND PASTE the URL into the "post" box on facebook, DO NOT TYPE IT IN, and voila!
Good luck!

I should also point out that all the files of my website are in the root folder of my FTP, not in root/Website_Folder_Here folder.

IWeb and new MacBook Pro

Just taken delivery of a new MBP - 13-inch, 2.8GHz, SSD - (jewel) - on 7th November - and I've noticed that iWeb isn't installed. I may not want to use iWeb to keep my web site updated, or build any new ones, but the Online Store info says iLife '11 is installed and also includes iWeb in iLife '11, though it's gone from the App Store. Anyone else found the same thing?

The page for the MacBook Pro states:
"Included software
OS X + iLife ’11
Every Mac comes with the world’s most advanced operating system, as well as iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand, so you can do more with your photos, movies and music."
and shows a picture of the box for iLife '11.
The page for iLife '11 states:
"iWeb and iDVD
iLife ’11 also includes iWeb and iDVD for creating instant websites and burning your own DVDs."
So - the first does not exclude iWeb (and iDVD), while the second specifically includes them.
I rest my case.

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 Roman Cart ??

Anyone out there used Roman Cart? Does it work with iWeb, any problems, any benefits. Would welcome any feedback.

Well, iWeb and MobileMe are not working for me yet. I tried to publish a few days ago now and I got the box come up that said please log into your .Mac account when I already was. Have just tried again this morning and what I get now is the servers are busy, please try again later.
I had exactly this problem, but then it went away by itself. Just lucky, but my luck is holding today too.
So, at the moment, I cannot publish at all to MobileMe. It is just very lucky for me that I do not have to rely on being able to publish my site to MobileMe for my business - when I knew that all this was a problem, I decided to publish to a folder and upload directly to my web space having fixed Google Maps and it works fine. Glad I did really in the current climate!!
That's a clever workaround if you don't need/want comments support for a blog. The publishing process from iWeb is slightly different than simply writing to your iDisk, and by uploading directly you take a different path.
BTW regarding the suitability of MobileMe as a business solution, any MobileMe member might want to read how [Apple describes the service|http://www.apple.com/legal/mobileme/en/terms.html#description]. Particularly the part around *not intended to be used for commercial business purposes*.

Is maverick support iWeb and iWeb icons?

I created a web site in iWeb - some time ago - had a problem and was ar that time instructed by a Apple tech to pull the "opening web page app" out of iWeb and place it in the folder of the site - 5 years later I installed Maverick - and now I cannot find that "page app" (sorry don't know the correct title) I do automatically backup to my external hard drive - but before I try to search it- I wanted to know if Maverick will support the necessary "page app" so I can get back into the iWeb files to update the web site - the thought of telling my client that I can't update or change her web site is enough to give me the shakes - Anyone out there have an answer for me PLEASSSSSE?!!! thanks for any and all help Barb

Have no idea what the "opening web page app" is. Do you have the iWeb application in your Applications folder? If it's iWeb 2 it won't be compatible with Mavericks. Only iWeb 3 is.
The file you need to have to edit a website is the file named Domain.sites (Web 2) or Domain.sites2 (iWeb 3) that is located in your Home/Library/Applications Support/iWeb folder. That folder is invisible in Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks. Check in that folder now to see if it's there.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Optionsmenu to bring the this window:
If you find the library there and have iWeb 3 continue with:

If the domain file is not in your current library: do you use Time Machine to backup your Mac? If you do there's a way to recover that file from the invisible folder in the backup. Let us know if you are using Time Machine or another form of backup. In either case you will have to recover that file.
Suggestion: since iWeb has been discontinued for 2 years now it would be prudent for you to switch to a currently supported application that has more advanced features to rebuild the site so you can go forward from here. One application that many are moving to is EverWeb which is very iWeb like in it's appearance and operation, i.e. drag and drop, etc. There's a demo version you can try for 30 days to see if it will meet your needs.

AND ALSO I HAVE HEARD THAT THE IPHONE 3G CANNOT BE UPDATED TO IOS 4.2!IS IT TRUE???
PLEASE HELP ME.

This means that the phone you have was software unlocked to use on any carrier, or hacked. When you installed the update it restored the lock that originaly came with your phone. Not much you can do now. Apple will not support hacked phones. You will need to find out the carrier your phone is locked to and see if they offer official unlocking, or start googling to see if you can find a way to unlock 4.2.
