IWeb as a supported Apple Product Go Forward

Will iWeb be a supported apple product go forward? or is it confirmed end of life?

It has been confirmed 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.
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.

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.

    You have nearly run out of disk space.  Either purchase a larger one or start cleaning out the one you have?

  • HT202696 What happens if Apple Support expires for a product?  Does it mean there is no more help available and you are on your own just because you have an older Apple product?

    We have a family of Apple products at home, and with every new one, we learn a new aspect of the Apple Life.  After switching to iPhone 5S and struggling between some applications, I've decided it is time to upgrade rest of my older devices requesting an IOS Upgrade to 8.1.2 for weeks.
    My older iPhone 4 didn't have an upgrade, which was not advanced enough anymore to carry a new software, this I understand.  The upgraded iPod Touch and iPad Mini don't seem to have any problems with the recent changes so far.  However, the older iPad (2) we had is messed up, just like many other people's as mentioned on the pages of these discussion groups.  According to these user comments / complaints, it is obvious that upgrading to IOS 8.1.2 was not the right option to older version iPads just like it was not for iPhone 4; actually it shouldn't be an option in the first place.
    On my previous problems with iPhone 5S, I've come to realise the practicality & functionality of the Apple Support system when contacted directly, instead of going through many discussion pages of people with same or similar problems where everybody is asking but just a few is replying.  So, I wanted to give it a try to find a solution to my recent problems with iPad, but this time Apple Support pages replied with "Technical Support & Service Coverage are both Expired" message.
    First, I did not know that Apple supported its users personally, and I loved it.  Maybe this is because I didn't have previous problems with my old iPhone and iPad.  Especially the Apple Support - Chat option I preferred, where I got help step-by-step from Apple operators.  And then, I did not know that this service support was only for my devices until an expiration date, and this did not please me much.
    Can anyone enlighten me on how to receive any response from Apple about what to do with problems of an old Apple device?

    And as far as paying for phone support, here are a few tips:
    If you call your carrier first and then they route you to Apple, you usually don't have to pay for phone support.
    If you are talking to Apple and they ask you to pay a support fee, ask if you can get an exception this time.  That usually works once, but they keep track of the times you've been granted such an exception.
    If you still end up paying the support fee, that fee only applies if it's not a hardware related issue.  In other words, if it can be fixed by just talking over the phone and following Apple's instructions, then the fee applies.  But if your device is deemed to have a hardware failure that caused the issue, then the fee should not apply, and you can ask for it to be waived after the fact.
    This forum is free, and almost all of the technical support articles the Apple tech advisors use are available on this website.  Literally 99% of what they can do over the phone is just walking you through the publicly available support articles.  In other words, you're paying the fee to have them do your research for you.  It's like hiring a research consultant to go look stuff up in the public library so you don't have to.  You're capable of doing it; you'd just rather pay someone to do it for you.
    It's like Starbucks.  You know how to make coffee.  Everyone knows how to make coffee.  And Starbucks coffee isn't any better than what you could make at home for far less.  But you want the convenience.  So you're really paying a convenience fee.  Milk is more expensive at 7-Eleven than it is at the grocery store... because it's a convenience store.

  • My iphone 5 is stuck in recovery mode. Followed apple support instructions...uninstalled and reinstalled all apple products.  Not getting any error codes, just cord/tunes pic. Itunes is not recognizing my phone so I cant even restore. Pls help !

    I just got this phone about 2 weeks ago.  I was prompted to do an update and did it... then my phone showed the image of the wire to the itunes symbol... so it's in recovery mode.  I have been working on this for hours!  I read tons of apple support procedures and followed them to the letter.... HT1414, TS3125, TS1538 etc.
    I uninstalled my itunes, quicktime... all the apple products like the instructions said. I reloaded everything and rechecked to make sure it was good.  Driver is showing up good with no problems.
    I would totally be fine with restoring it to the original settings... I've only had it for 2 weeks! But itunes won't even recognize the phone so I can't even hit the restore button.  This is so frustrating. I am running windows 7... and I ran all updates like the apple support instructions said. I checked updates with Norton.  All good. I did all the windows & norton updates before I uninstalled and reinstalled apple products. If I could only get itunes to even recognize the phone.
    The phone is not jailbroken... it was fresh from the factory... then that update!
    Please help.  I am without a phone.

    I may have fixed the issue. The errors in device manager were a driver error apparently windows didnt have appropriate drivers installed to allow itunes to recognize a device in recovery mode. I followed the paths in the guide above in more detail using this path ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 under if device not recognized while in recovery mode) to alleviate the issue update is now installing appropriately ( i hope).
    I will update if everything works correctly

  • I recently bought a lightning to 30 pin adapter for my new iPad so that I could continue to use my 30 pin to VGA cord, but when I plug the VGA cord into it it says it is not supported. They are all apple products, so why doesn't it work?

    I recently bought a lightning to 30 pin adapter for my new iPad so that I could continue to use my 30 pin to VGA cord, but when I plug the VGA cord into it it says it is not supported. They are all apple products, so why doesn't it work?

    If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
    This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
    Is this what you bought?
    You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

    Probably never : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Plus Adobe have never managed to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, and they have recently announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, and there is the built-in YouTube app.

  • Hi...i want to know is apple laptops support microsoft products or components.

    hi...i want to know is apple laptops support microsoft products or components.

    Word of warning.  You can't just buy any microsft product.  It has to be the Mac version, of which for Microsoft office there is one for
    WORD,
    EXCEL,
    POWERPOINT
    There is no microsoft application for Mac for PUBLISHER, ACCESS or any others. 
    How does this take into account the availability of Windows 7 under Bootcamp?  I think your point is that there are native Mac versions of some Microsoft products available. However, any others would need to run under Windows 7 in Bootcamp (or one of the alternative Windows environments).

  • Need help: When installing iTunes on Windows 7, installer is stopping at "Installing Apple Application Support". Can anyone help....this is the first time I am using an Apple product and it sure is not very user friendly!!!

    I am trying to install itunes but the installer is not going beyond the "Installing Apple application support" stage,

    Do you have any of these programs installed?
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    I had the trouble that if an old #4 or #5 was installed, a full iTunes install did not work.
    If you have any of the above installed, try this,

    I need advise and help with this problem .
    First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
    At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
    In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
    Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
    trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
    Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
    ''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
    With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
    I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
    Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respond

    Genieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
    To remove it, see:

    Do not use the Genieo uninstaller!

  • What is the best apple product for my wife?

    Hello all,
    I recently broke our Windows laptop (stepped on it and cracked the screen).  The price on replacing this screen makes me feel, that I should go the extra mile and just replace the thing since it was sort of up there in age anyway.
    So here is where I need you guys.  I have heard that Macs are excellent products, but I know VERY little.  My wife and I have been with windows our entire lives.  I sincerely apologize for the "noob" questions, but googling for a couple hours has left me with little first hand experience that fits us well. With that being said...First question:
    Is there anything a typical Windows user will have trouble adjusting to?
    For example, I know the iphone/ipod touch don't use flash.  Are the macs the same?  I read that they dumped flash in 2010?  Can you still use it if you wanted to?  Is there an alternative?  But what I'm really getting at is, how hard will it be for us to transition?  Are there typical windows features we may lose?  Is it true that I'll no longer need anti-virus software?
    Is the MacBook Air right for us?  Ipad 2?  MacBook Pro?
    One reason I want a Mac, as I've said, is that I've heard that they are the best.  I want to give my wife a very good gift.  She never gets anything top of the line for herself and I want to spoil her with this surprise without her being able to tell me "no".  Therfore, I want this new item to tailor to her more than me.
    She mainly uses the laptop for pleasure.  She loves to browse sites...read articles...and most of all, check up with friends on facebook.  She is also really really into pictures and editing.  She loves to take pictures and create little videos with music and whatever and I've heard that the Macs have pretty good software for this (Does it come standard?). 
    Anyway, while this will be pleasure over business 95% of the time, she may need word processing capability.  This is likely to be extremely light work.  Example would be listing DVDs we own.  Possibly touching up a resume...  She's been interested in writing a book though, so maybe this has the potential to upgrade to more business (I guess I may have just eliminated the ipad, huh?). 
    So is there a type of apple product that seems to scream out for my wife?
    Also, If it has any weighing in this decision, we both own ipods.
    I very sincerely thank you guys for reading my wall of text.  I am happy to read links if you have any good ones to share instead of writing yourselves.  I know I've overwhelmed you guys with a ton of questions.  And I'm sorry if this is a topic you get all the time, but I figured I'd give it a try to make the best decision I can!
    Thanks so much,
    Danny

    Hi Danny,
    These are some great questions, hopefully I can answer them appropriately for you.
    MacBook Pro vs. MacBook Air vs. iPad 2
    The good news, outside of an optical drive, those first two are pretty similar in terms of functionality and features. Throw the iPad 2 into the sequence and it changes things significantly.
    While the iPad 2 is an exceptional product with near limitless features, thanks to the App Store, it still requires a computer. It can wirelessly print, but how did that printer get setup? It can stream over AirPlay to your Apple TV, but how did that AppleTV get setup? Not to mention, having your media backed up is always a good idea.
    There are two big differences between the MacBook Air & MacBook Pro and it's something to consider.
    1.) How often do you need peripheral ports?
    The MacBook Air has 2 USB ports, a MiniDisplay Port and a headphone jack. It does not have a FireWire port, it does not have an Ethernet port, it only has an SD card slot on the 13" model, it also does not have an optical drive.
    Are these important to your wife? Will she routinely be burning, writing to or reading from CDs/DVDs? If so, you'll need to purchase an external drive and tie up one of your USB ports or purchase a hub. It also does not have an Ethernet port and in order to gain access to one you need to buy an external adapter that again ties up a USB port. It also only supports 10/100 connections, not 10/100/1000.
    There's no doubt that CD/DVD media is in a decline, soon just about everything is going to be available via direct downloads and many things already are so maybe that's not important. Given the device's portability and how many places have WiFi you could justify not needing an Ethernet port. Most manufacturers default their peripheral connection for external media to USB, FireWire is very Mac specific and often times adds a premium price onto the accessory. Gigabit Ethernet is negligible for day-to-day usage, unless you're moving multi-GB files on a routine basis.
    2.) What sort of potential growth opportunities do you need?
    One glaring limitation to the MacBook Air is that you cannot upgrade the RAM or HD capacity, something that you can do on the MacBook Pro. OWC does make 3rd party flash storage but it's very expensive, especially when you compare it against platter drives.
    Storage will vary from user-to-user. I have probably 50GB worth of media between photos, music, videos, etc. My wife on the other hand? Well over 1TB of content and although she doesn't access it daily, it's frequent enough where it prompted us to get a NAS solution for our apartment.
    RAM is one of those things that you can never have enough of in computing. You won't hear someone way: "Wow, this computer is way too fast." Unless you're trying to install a computer game from the early 90s.
    I encourage you, if you end up with the MBA, to consider the upgrade to 4GB of RAM. I question how relevant 2GB of RAM will be on a computer in 2 or 3 years and what the demands of programs will require then.
    Get to an Apple Store
    Go early in the morning during the week or late one weeknight an hour or so before the store closes. Spend 20-30 minutes with each of the three products you're considering. They're all preloaded with software, games, productivity applications, sample galleries, etc. Ask the people on the floor to let you discover uninterrupted but be nearby when you're done and have some Q&A. Don't let them dry to "drive" your experience or prattle about how awesome and magical it is. They don't know exactly what you'll be using it for and if you tell them you're brand new Apple they'll usual try to show you what they like, not what you might like by blind discovery.
    Macromedia Flash & Applications
    Flash does not work on iOS devices (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPhone) but it works just fine on the MacBook Pro & MacBook Air. Every new Mac will come with iLife which includes: iPhoto, Garageband, iMovie, iDVD and iWeb. They're fantastic programs and are "gateway" products to Apple's next tier of products:
    iPhoto -> Aperture
    Garageband -> Logic
    iMovie & iDVD -> Final Cut
    iWeb is the red-headed stepchild in this equation. You'd graduate to an Adobe product like Dreamweaver if you suddenly became interested in web-design.
    Good luck in your decision making process!

  • Apple Products no longer AirPrint with new routers

    I have a OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910 Series printer and was using a linksys WRT160N V2 router (open without a password protection).  I also have an HP Laptop, a MacBook Pro Retina, two IPhones and an IPad.  All devices were able to print wirelessly on the Office Jet.
    I sought to repace the router first with a Linksys AC1200 and then with an Apple Airport Extreme.  With both routers the HP laptop was able to print wirelessly to the printer.  However, the apple products could not.  All equipment is on the same network (password protected).  Sometimes the Apple products can see the printer and I think when first connected they will print.  But within a few minutes will no longer be able to perform an airprint.  If I delete the printer and try to add it - the printer disappears as a nearby printer and sometimes does not show up as a bonjour printer either.
    While I can limp along with the older router, I worry that when it finally dies, I will no longer be able to use this printer wirelessly.  I have both new routers in their boxes ready to be returned - but perhaps there is a solution.
    I have spent hours on the phone with both Apple and witih Linksys to no avail.  I do think this is an HP problem and so do they.
    I have tried limiting the router to a 2.x Ghz - and note that using a 5 Ghs frequency makes the Apple products ever less happy.

    Hi @StarvationPoint,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I gather that since changing your router that you are encountering difficulties in using AirPrint from your Apple mobile devices.
    I have included a post by @Shirlzz1 on the forums titled Help Determine if your router can support AirPrint with the Bonjour Discovery App. It will walk you through downloading an app that checks to see if the routers support Bonjour (I know the Apple AirPort Extreme does).
    I’ve also included the Printing Over a Wireless Network with Apple's AirPrint FAQs document. It has some great trouble shooting steps in the “What if a 'No AirPrint Printers Found' message displays on my Apple device?” section.
    Please let me know the outcome.
    Regards,
    Happytohelp01
