IWeb can't publish...

says "You are offline. Please check your internet connection"....but my internet connection is fine. In fact, if I click "visit published site" it connects just fine.
I tried publishing to a local file in "Documents" and that also returns an error:
"Can’t create the file “nav-9-CB002521-bk.png.” The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges"...but I have privliges and the disk is far from full....
I have hours and hours invested in this site. Praying that I can get it publishing again!

As Ethmoid mentioned Flux can read and edit an existing iWeb site. It will be very comples as iWeb creates very complex sites with lots of javascript. If you wanted to make minor changes to the site I believe Flux could do so but it will require a learning curve.
Depending on the size and complexity of your website it would be better, IMO, to create the site from scratch with Flux or whatever website design software you decide on.
As far as you current problem try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

Help! iWeb can't publish to .Mac & folder, keeps hanging.

Hi guys, would appreciate your help here. I'm new to to using iWeb. Just purchased and installed iWeb a couple of days ago. I've designed my webpages using iWeb and uploaded into www.mac.com, just the basic Welcome, About Me and Blog pages.
But after that 1st successful attempt, my iWeb can't synchronise with iDisk & .Mac properly and it froze in the middle of the publishing process. I was forced to force quit iWeb. Subsequent attempts to publish using the Publish button and Publishing to Folders alternatives yielded the same results - connection error, hanging of iWeb and fruitless synching of webpages to iDisk & .Mac. So ended up can't proceed or update my already published webpages.
After that I registered another .Mac account and tried publishing directly, publishing to folder, synchronising etc... but still no luck as iWeb either hanged, gave error box stating "check internet connection or totally didn't synch the files at all to Homepage though the process went thru.
I also discovered that after restarting my powerbook, there are folders in the trash with names such as com.apple.iWeb584_1862039531. Does that render iWeb unfunctionable.
Any help is much appreciated.
Powerbook PPC G4 1.33Ghz 15" Mac OS X (10.4.8) 768MB DDR SDRAM, 80GB HDD

My site is very small. The capacity taken up indicated by iDisk after synching is only 1MB. Bandwidth tests indicated an estimated 4700kbps download speed and 300kbps upload speed. Currently, I'm subscribed to a 10Mbps ADSL broadband plan and connected wireless to the router *** modem.
The present configuration for the internet settings include a web proxy (HTTP) as given by my ISP. I've read somewhere in this forum that proxies may filter or block non-standard html codes generated from/by iWeb.
I've tried to bypass that proxy by connecting via ethernet cable to the router and unchecking the proxy setting. But another error occurred stating 'configuration error' by iWeb.
So does the problem lie with the proxy settings or with iWeb itself?
PS: I can't get my ISP to turn off the proxy, and the only way to take away that proxy is to terminate the internet subscription.

Have run out of room on iweb, can't publish. Can I delete data and reclaim space?

I have been working on my website for ages, constantly doing and redoing and saving each time. Now I get a message that I've run out of room & can't publish. I kow I can buy more space, but it's annoying because I'm sure there is a mass of trash I could delete from the changes I've made. But where is it, and how can I dump it. Is it possible?

It's a regular error with MobileMe. Usually it says that you run oit of space.

IWeb - Can't Publish Changes

Apple announced support for iWeb publishing until June 30th. I am no longer permitted to publish changes to my site.
Is there any way around this until I transfer the site to a new webhosting service?

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If the problem is not repeated with the test library then your current library is damaged.
If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy if you don't already have one (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How can I Publish to a Folder just one of the several websites I have created using iWeb?

How can I Publish to a Folder just one of the several websites I have created using iWeb?
it drives me nuts having to emove all the other websites when I want to upload one.
Sparrow

For iWeb, I like to do only one site per domain file. I move domain files out of the Application Support folder and place them inside project or client folders, or in DropBox. Once you duplicate a domain file and begin customizing it, it will load and behave as a separate project/site.
I publish each iWeb domain/project direct to a server via FTP. Sometime I publish to a folder, then upload via FTP manually.
iWeb is a remarkable tool, especially when you work from scratch with blank tamplates
Here are a few of my iWeb sites:

I can't publish to iWeb, it doesn't seem to be able to login to my icloud account. any ideas?

I've been trying to publish a site on iweb. It seems that iweb is unable to sign in to my icloud account. I push the publish to mobile me tab, push the sign into your account tab,( already a member). I get the barbers pole for 30 seconds or so, and then, nothing happens. Any ideas anyone?

MobileMe closed in July last year.
iCloud does not offer webhosting.
You have to find a webhost.
It's been discussed for the past 2 years in this forum, the MMe forum and all over the planet.
Browse this forum.
In short :
Find a webhoster.
And since you use iWeb 08, publish to a folder and use an FTP app to put the files on the server.
Oh, and look to the right. I see these topics :

Can't publish larger files in iWeb 09

Hi
Have recently updated my iWeb to 09 and had accidentally deleted my old Domaion file so had to rebuild site from scratch. Anyway, since I have, it gets stuck on pages that have any larger files on them (movie and audio files) despite having plenty of space in my MobileMe account. I get "Try again later" message.
Have managed to publish successfully to a local folder which I then tried copying with index to 'Sites' on my iDisk but that that too presents a problem saying "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)
I'm baffled! All I want to do is publish my site without any hassle, the files aren't that big only about 40 MB each. Can anyone suggest anything? Have had a look at iwebfaq and on here and have tried a few things but nothing seems to help so far. Any suggestions would be very gratefully received! Thanks!

That error code is -36 ioErr I/O error. Can you publish a different site? Crate a small test site and see if it will go thru. If not then it's not just your primary site.
If you expect to revise the site occasionally or want your visitors not to have to wait for those large files to load while the host page loads you might look at these ways to add a movie or audio file.
Movie: QT Movies and Opening Item in New, Specially Sized Window. The code used is shown.
Audio: Flash Audio Players - 3 different types of flash audio players. The code used is shown.
These methods require loading the movie or audio files only once and do not load on the pages until they are played.

Can't publish iWeb due to .png error

can't publish iWeb due to .png error

With as many people that have this same issue, I am very surprised that support is still sleeping at the wheel. Some of the suggestions border on the absolute absurd (e.g. create new user account, check the system clock, etc.). I've tried them all, including exclusion from AVAST, resetting router, etc etc etc. iCloud status shows all green.
As the owner of a software development company, I find it hard to believe Apple, of all support, has been unable to get this issue resolved once and for all. It would certainly make sense, as well, to collate this issue into a single thread instead of bouncing users off the moon and back.
I spent 1/2 day on the phone with Apple support trying to get iTunes to backup and was promised a call back from the next tier of support. That was 4 months ago and I still haven't been able to backup my iphone 4S. I've never seen software that is more kludgy and unreliable with every passing upgrade (sorry, but it's the truth)!
After two years of not being able to back up my phone, I am considering going to a more reliable platform. After 6 years on the Apple bus, maybe it's time to get off.

IWeb error messages -- can't publish large site after upgrade.

I just upgraded to iLife 09 and all of my websites showed up red in the new iWeb - indicating that they needed to be published. I hadn't changed any of them since the upgrade but I figured it was part of the upgrade to republish all of them.
Whenever I try to publish the sites I get the following message:
An error occurred while publishing file “/private/var/folders/pM/pMWBd0yEF04cfDIeAZkuPE+TI/TemporaryItems/com.apple.iWeb7281_TEMP_288612390_15/sites/JW/Things_and_Such_files/shapeimage2.png”. Try publishing again later.
I've tried all the usual suggestions. I threw away the preferences files and cache files for iWeb. I logged out of MobileMe and logged back in. I tried to publish from an older version of my Domain file from Time Machine. If I tell it to publish the site to my desktop then it works just fine. The site that it has problems with creates a 179MB folder on my desktop when I publish to my desktop. The other two sites that I have in iWeb publish perfectly in MobileMe but are not bigger than 3 MB each.
I tried moving parts of the larger site out of it, publishing the significantly shrunken page and then adding the rest back in smaller pieces. It will publish the smaller selection with no problem. It won't let me add the pieces back in, however. IWeb freezes up when I try and I have to reload the previous Domain file from Time Machine.
So, my question is: Is there a limit to the size of site that can be published using iWeb? If so how do I get around this?

Reboot fixed it.

Can I publish to a desktop folder in iWeb 9?

Trying to sett up a website via Machighway. There is aknown bug that lets you connect to the server but can't publish the site because the publish button in iWeb is grayed out. How can I get around this? Please and thank you.

In iWeb 09 you can publish to MobileMe (now canceled), FTP or a folder.
Click the Sitename on the left and then choose "publish to folder" from the popup menu.
Then upload the published index.html file and site folder with a FTP app of your choice.
I'm sure you must have seen it when you configured the FTP settings.

DO NOT UPDATE TO iWEB 2.0.3 - I did and I can;t publish anymore!

Ah, crap. I should have know never to download a new iWeb update before its been out for a few days. Ever since upgrading to 2.0.3 I get the dreaded "An unknown publishing error has occured."
Once again, Apple f's up iWeb.
What a joke.

Hmm. I'm having the same problem. Have tried deleting tffs and pngs just in case it is an old problem recurring (or at least older posts regarding this "unknown publishing error" suggest the images are the culprits). This didn't fix my publishing problem.
Your fix suggests that the "publish to .Mac" function is (1) different from the "publish all to .Mac," since one works and the other doesn't, and (2) that the "publish to a folder" function is certainly NOT the same as the "publish to .Mac" and (probably?) the same as the "publish all to .Mac". My worry is that if I delete the site folder and then can't publish to it after all, then I might be stuck with no site instead of a dated site. I suppose that simply dragging the site folder from .Mac space to my desktop (and then dragging it back should the fix fail) might work; but, there's no guarantee.
Has anyone tried a "publish to folder" save after employing this work-around?
Thanks.

Can I publish my iWeb 2.0.4 site?

Can I publish my iWeb 2.0.4 site? I designed it, hit "publish" and it went to now-defunct Mobile Me...

I do believe you can publish your website to a folder.
I think (it's been a while since I have used the older version) in the File menu you should have an option to publish site to a folder.
Then you will need to use an FTP application like Cyberduck to upload files to your web host.

Living in Brasil can I publish my iWeb site on a foreign hosting site?

Hello folks,
I have a web site developed with iWeb and presently published in a hosting site in Brasil, but I am unhappy with such hosting site for several reasons, the main one is that it doesn't "speak" iWeb and Apple language, making almost impossible to update my site, but also, their cost and Customer Services aren't good.
Mobileme ends today and iCloud won't host iWeb sites, so I wonder if other, iWeb friendly sites, not located in Brasil, or even Brazilian ones, would host my site?
Thanks in advance Paulo

You can host your website with a host from any country. The only thing you may run into may be the added cost of telephone support. Most of the larger webhosts also provide pretty good instant chat or email support. I have not actually had to call my current webhost for any of the minor issues I have ran into. They have been able to solve my issues within quick order via intant chat or email.
I have been using IX Webhosting for several years now with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across.

I have upgraded my iWeb to 2.0.1 twice, installed the program twice, and spent hours "re-dialing" (as suggested by some comments in the discussion) web.mac by trying hundreds of time to publish all the files. I have done this for over a week. The files seem to "appear" on both my end and .mac, but when I try to "visit" the page via any browser or the iWeb menu, I am told that the page cannot be found. Is there any way I can access my files via Dreamweaver?

How can I publish the alterations I have made to my iWeb pages when the ' Publish Site' button and 'Publish Site Changes' on the file dropdown are grey?
