IWeb "announce" not working

Updated our website using iWeb today, and when the "Announce" dialogue appeared, the "announce" button won't work. It used to open Mail so I could send a message to the group, but that doesn't happen any more. Anyone experience this behaviour?

IWeb is not working for sending podcasts to iTunes, so I need a new web building tool. What is the closest thing to iWeb that I can use, which also supports podcasts?

iWeb is not working for sending podcasts to iTunes, so I need a new web building tool. What is the closest thing to iWeb that I can use, which also supports podcasts?

There's no reason you can't go on using iWeb for this - with iWeb '08 you have to publish to a local folder (i.e. on your Mac) and then upload the contents of the folder (not the folder itself) to your hosting service: and you have to make sure you enter the new URL in the Publish information or the feed won't work properly; this done, an iWeb podcast should work fine.
Of course there is still the problem that iWeb is not supported and sooner or later a system upgrade may break it. You could look at RapidWeaver: you can make podcasts with that, though the last time I looked into that - which was admittedly some time back - I didn't feel it was ideal for this. There are lots of other podcast creation programs or services around. WordPress is OK but it may be a bit of a steep learning curve: Libsyn is an online service that seems to work reliably. Blogger writes messy feeds but does usually work. Podcast Maker used to work well - I used it myself a few years back - but it rather looks as if it's gone moribund and it may not be reliable with Lion/Mountain Lion, so you would want to check into that.

IWeb is not working!!!!!

My iWeb is not working right!!! All the widgets (exept for iPhoto and iMovie) do not work, every time a place the widget it just shows a selection square were the widget should be. The same thing happends when I chose to show the navigation on the top of the page, just a blank box. I have already called the apple support and tried many different things, like uninstalling iWeb and nothing changed then he took me thought endless steps for hours and nothing. I also went to an apple store and no one there new how to fix it ether. I need this fixed NOW!!!
Please help!!!

I would go to an apple store and talk to someone face to face but the closest one is over 800 miles away. I tried to talk to someone in an apple store wile I was on vacation but that did not have room for me. But I did get a chance to talk to a sales man and he didn't know jack.
I have already uninstalled and reinstalled with the application disk and it did not do anything. I have also tried accessing the widgets on another account and I have the same problem. I could try the download though, that might just work.
I have also had the problem of, when I make a 'blog' the box that should have the blog excerpts Is also blank and I can't even double click it, and when I do it just does what everything else does and shows a blue outline around the box and nothing else.
I wish someone knew something about this problem!

Which parts of iWeb will not work on third-party servers?

Hello,
I'm migrating my site so some new parts
I would like to know exactly which parts of iWeb will not work on third-party servers.

Features Unavailable When Publishing to a Non-Mac Server:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
From iWeb 3's Help
In addition, unless iWeb is modified by Apple or yourself the forward, back, pause and play buttons of the iWeb slideshows will not display once the MMe servers are taken off line:
However, if you follow the directions in this tutorial you can work around that: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.

IWeb 09 not working with Internet Explorer

Spent quite a bit of time creating a site in iWeb 08, which worked fine with Firefox and IE. Decided to upgrade to the '09 version because of few new features (widgets, etc.) Update install went well. No problems using Firefox and Safari but IE now will not work.
Site (home page) can be accessed using IE but links to other pages are not live. A real pain. I did nothing new to site (e.g., did not add widgets, photos, files, etc.) except to add a comment to my blog. A friend told me about the problem. Unsure what version of IE he is using but I tried it using Parallels running XP with IE v.6 and had the same problem.
Do I need to reinstall the '08 version? If so, will it just overwrite '09 or is there some other procedure required to install an earlier version? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Didn't intend this to be as much a venting as a warning to others.
The iLife 09 suite is very flawed. And it's not just iWeb.
iPhoto does not deliver. Face recognition failed to correctly identify even one person in over 250 photos. Not a minor thing since it was trumpeted so loudly at it's announcement.
iMovie corrupted the preview of a project I was working on in a prior version.
Turned it gray and 'staticky'. Starting over now.
I don't see quick fixes coming down the pipe because Apple has been absent from any news or comments for over a month.
So if someone is contemplating an upgrade to iLife09 and happens upon my rant, maybe I've save someone from wasting their money.
As far as knowing what I'm doing?
I've been in IT for 20 years. Unix, Linux, Windows, backup/recovery, etc... I've led a very rich IT life. I bought a Mac because of the 'Just works' promise, not to add another OS to my debugging repertoire.
I can get around the FTP problem manually (another problem with iWeb), but the ftp on 09 was a big reason I purchased it. And the problem with IE and Firefox not being able to even view any iWeb 09 sites now? That's going to be a bit more difficult to fix and is a show stopper.
Apple has not responded to anyone's support questions (including mine), and it's been about a month.
Not even a "Hey customers, we know about the problems and are getting right on it!".
So, when something like this happens, I like to put the word out there on every medium possible. kind of warns people and hopefully get's back to Apple.
And if Apple doesn't monitor these Support Discussions, they really should.
At the very least, my comments may bring up issues others have yet to discover.
And it makes me feel better...

Hyperlink to iWeb Page not working

I have created an iWeb page. I have a hyperlink to the page on a document. The hyperlink takes me to a mobile me error page ie "We can't find the page you requested. Please make sure the URL is spelled and capitalized correctly, and try again."
Yet if I copy and paste the exact same url I have entered in the hyperlink filed into the address bar on Safari it goes to the right page no problems.
Any ideas please?

Is that the page you're trying to link to in the PDF document?
I was able to place a hyperlink in an rtfd text file and and Word 2008 document to your web page that works. The link in the Word document takes about 5 to 7 seconds to get to Safari and open the Page. The rtfd document, created with Bean
Bean, a great, free word processor, opens the page in Safari almost immediately.
In Work I used the Insert ➙ Hyperlink menu option and entered the URL of you page and the text to use as the link. For the Bean document I clicked and dragged the link title at the top of your web page onto the Bean page and saved as a rtfd formatted file. If the page is saved as a plain text document the hyperlink is lost.
Click to view full size
If I do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save as PDF from Bean I get a working link in the resulting PDF file. But with Word the link does not work.

Iweb page not working in Safari

I have just created a website - yellowcobblestones.com using iweb it works perfectly in both firefox and IE but not safari.
The main problem is the tabs located at the top of the page do not work

The work OK for me in Safari V 5.1.1. Try emptying the cache and visit the site again.

Iweb archive not working online

I've had church website up and running for a year. Every week I upload a new sermon between 25-30mgs. There are about 52 by now. This time when I went to the site online I noticed the Archive page was is working even though it's working in the program. When you click on the subject nothing happens. Also the "previous" button and other buttons at the bottom are not working either. When I opened the iweb file now the archive button is green. Any suggestions?

Thank you for replying. I had a box with a rule around most of the content on the page. I tried selecting it and sending it into the background. This seemed to be the problem and the archive page is working online for the moment. But in iweb the "archive" icon is still green. What does this mean. If you want to look at the site the URL is www.ccc-hc.org.

Subscribing to podcast in iWeb does not work???

I created and exported to iWeb a music podcast using Garage Band. The podcast correctly imported to my iWeb website, so you can visit the site and play the podcast their. This process also creates a "subscribe to podcast" button on the iWeb website, which is supposed to allow visitors to click it and the podcast will automatically be added to their iTunes podcasts library. Well, this partially works, that is, an entry IS made in the iTunes podcasts library, but the entry does not work. It appears to reference the full text page of the podcasts webpage instead of the actual music podcast, so when you try to play the podcast within iTunes you get an error message.
Any ideas? There does not appear to be a way to correctly point the iTunes podcast entry to the actual music podcast on the website instea of the text main page.
Thanks.

Thanks for the offer to help. Here is the website:
http://web.mac.com/mgimbel/iWeb/Site%204/Podcast/Podcast.html
I'm not sure how to find the RSS file to send. ??
In case you're not familiar with the how the process is SUPPOSED to work between Garage Band, iWeb and iTunes, it should be a simple, 3-step AUTOMATED process:
1. in Garage Band, you choose "send podcast to iWeb". This exports the current project to an iWeb page as a podcast. (This works)
2. in iWeb, you publish the newly created page containing the podcast. I use .Mac, so my pages are automatically published to my .Mac account. (This also works)
3. On the webpage at the website containing the podcast, there is a button to "subscribe" to the podcast. When you click this, it is supposed to create a podcast entry in your iTunes library, under My Podcasts. (This is where the process stops working: the entry is created in iTunes, but it does not work - i.e., it does not appear to point correctly to the podcast itself, but instead to the webpage in general that contains the podcast, and iTunes can not identify the podcast from this.)
Hopefully, that helps. Sorry if you were already familiar with the process.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this.

IWeb rollovers not working

I've created a site in IWeb, when I publish to my local folder or the web, the rollovers in my navigation bar do not work. They used to work fine, until I added a few more pages to complete my site. My nav bar is a text box with my links inserted as text.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I see the rollover image that should come up . Since the rollover works locally the issue has to be with the uploading of the site files. How are you uploading the files?
If you're using iWeb try using a 3rd party FTP client like the free Cyberduck to upload the site folder and its index.html file to the server.

Flash in Iweb 08 not working on all internet browsers!

I have incorperated flash movies into a site or two, for some reason they work fine if your using firefox or safari, but they don't work right if your using Internet Explorer. (which is what alot of people still use)
I was just wandering if anyone else has ran into this and if so what I could do to fix it.
You can see what I'm talking about by going to www.i2hd.com. If you have time try viewing it in both browsers and you'll see.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Jean,
Actually, we have an issue with scalable HTML content and smartshapes where smartshapes do not work as buttons in scaled mode.
Please try switching off the "Scalable HTML Content" option in the Publish dialog before publishing. Then it should work.
Regards,
Chinmay

Flash header in iWeb - Links not working

Here's the situation: I managed to get a flash header to show up on my site by using an HTML Snippet. There are three buttons in this flash file. Each of them open up drop-down menus with links to different pages found on the site.
Currently, when I load up the site in my browser, only the drop-down menus open and do what they're supposed to. The links within those menus do NOT work.
The question: How do I properly create links in Flash so that they'll navigate to the urls I specify? Any help would be greatly appreciated; I'm kinda in a rut until I figure this out. Thanks!

The most obvious thing to do is to ask Flash question is the Flash forum :

Or search the Internets : [links in flash|http://www.google.com/search?q=linksinflash]

Flash exported from Keynote and embeded in iWeb page not working in IE

using the "html snippet" widget and swfobeject code generated here: http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?page=wizard I placed a swf file generated by Keynote in an iWeb page.
It seems to work fine except for folks using IE in Windows. They get to the first page, but the "Next" link doesn't work. My problem page address is here: http://shortpoem.org/readings/Selected_Poems.html
Can anyone help me see what needs to change?
This is the generated code (I also tried using the html generated by Keynote and had the same problem):
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.jeroenwijering.com/embed/swfobject.js"></script>
This text will be replaced
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject('http://shortpoem.org/readings/SelectedPoemsfiles/thoughts.swf','mpl','800','600','8');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addVariable('height','600');
so.addVariable('width','800');
so.addVariable('file','/upload/player.flv');
so.write('player');
</script>

The code in your first post is not what you pasted in the Snippet.
http://shortpoem.org/readings//SelectedPoems_files/widget0markup.html
You simply exclude IE users.
Have a look here for some inspiration:

The hyperlink for iweb is not working anymore?

I have a web site built with iweb. It was not useful til few weeks ago when we try to revive and publish it, but ho surprise I went to apple store to make an appointment to remember the way to use it. I was told that that @me wont exist anymore but that I will be able to continue to work with iweb and publish with some other company. Well, I started to work again with iweb, and when I finish I try to hyperlink each page as needed but the program doesn't respond.

Info About iWeb Curtesy of Old Toad
As you now know iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.   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
   Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.   All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.   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: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.

Iweb comments not working

I've posted student work to a blog page. Now I want students to be able to comment on each other's work, but when we click comment we get an error message. I did go in to each post and click on allow comments in the inspector, but that has not helped. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Do you have a domain name for your site? If so then do as the document says andI make sure you're running the latest update for iWeb, iWeb 2.0.4 . That should shake itself out. Also do a Publish All to MobileMe.
I don't have a blog page so don't know much more than what the Apple doc says.
