Iweb/ computer to computer transfer/ publish error

Problem with iWeb 09 and in particular publishing on my Blog.
Today I decided to try and shift my iWeb site to a 2nd computer, from my iMac to my MacBook. Both have been installed up to date with all the latest software updates.
I moved the domain.sites2 file as suggested on iwebfaqs website, by flashdrive and put it into the MacBook. My page and all its content from the old machine transferred as would be expected without any glitches. However, when I have tried to publish a new article on my blog on the iWeb site, the first attempt for some reason uploaded without a problem. The second time however, I tried just a minor tweak and it came up with publish error an unknown error has occured.
I attempted several times using the regular methods yet nothing has changed. I have deleted domain and tried again. I am running out of ideas. Any suggestions?

If you are publishing to MobileMe there are problems with it today apparently.

  • Publish Error: There was an error reading your iDisk quota

    While trying publish to my .Mac account, iWeb gives me this message: Publish Error: There was an error reading your iDisk quota.
    I published earlier to a group and it worked. I even went to my .Mac/iDisk system preferences on the web and alocated more space for my group site.
    No Dice.
    I just tried publishing to .Mac without the group.
    No dice.
    I even tried ellimanting some pages
    No Dice.
    Hmmm. Frustrating. It worked before, now what?

    i followed these steps recommended by mac support and it solved my problem. try it.
    We are currently investigating an issue affecting some users who receive an error message while trying to publish a page or site using iWeb. The error states: "There was an error reading your iDisk quota."
    Before we proceed with the steps to resolve this issue, we recommend that you back up the iWeb data file. If you already have this file backed up, you may skip to "Resolving the issue" below.
    To locate the iWeb data file:
    1. From the Finder menu bar, select Go > Go to Folder.
    2. Type (or copy and paste) ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb into the field and click Go. You should now see a file named Domain. This file may also appear as Domain.sites, but we will refer to it as Domain throughout these instructions.
    If you have the Backup application that is included with .Mac, you can use this to back up the file to your iDisk, CD/DVD, or to an external hard disk.
    Note: Though there is an iLife plan in Backup, it does not currently back up the files associated with iWeb. To back up iWeb files, you will need to use either the Custom or Home Folder plan.
    If you do not have Backup, you can create a copy of the file and place the copy in a safe place. To duplicate the Domain file, click the file once to highlight it, then select Duplicate from the File menu. This will create a copy of the file named, "Domain copy." Move this file to the desktop or any other safe location.
    Resolving the issue:
    1. Quit iWeb if it is open.
    2. From the Finder menu bar, select Go > Go to Folder.
    3. Type (or copy and paste) ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb into the field and click Go. You should now see a file named Domain. This is a Mac OS X package file.
    Note: A package is a relatively common type of document in Mac OS X; it is essentially a sealed folder. It contains individual items, but cannot be opened in the same manner as a folder.
    4. To open the package, hold down the Control key and click on the Domain package file.
    Note: If you have a two-button mouse, this step can be accomplished by right-clicking the Domain package file.
    5. Select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu that appears.
    6. A new window titled Domain will appear showing the contents of the package. Here you will see one file (or possibly two files) named "assets.<membername>.groups.<groupname>.plist" or "assets.<membername>.plist" where <membername> and <groupname> correspond to your .Mac member name and .Mac Group name.
    Note: Your .Mac member name is the first part of your .Mac email address, before "@mac.com."
    7. If you have either or both of these files, move them to the trash. Then close the Domain window.
    8. Open iWeb and try publishing again.

  • TS2167 iWeb: publish by ftp to GoDaddy webhosting service - get "publish error" at end of ftp session - always 1-2 files not successfully transferred - Why?

    Why do I get message "Publish error There was an error communicating with the server.  Try again later, or check with your service provider" when i publish websites to webhosting service (GoDaddy.com) from iWeb 3.0.4  even though most webpages have been transferred and are marked blue?   There are always a few pages marked red after each ftp transfer?   It seems that the ftp session is terminated by web hosting service too fast for iWeb 3.0.4. to register that files have been transferred successfully.  When I check pages marked red in iWeb with browser, they are often available and functioning.     I have to add many extra webpages (which I do not want) to get iWeb to register all my pages as transferred (marked blue).  If I do not do this, all pages on website are marked "red" after I close iWeb and restart it.   This means that everytime i make one little change to one page on a website of 8-10 Gigabytes,  I often have to republish the entire site!  
    I think (without understanding enough/anything about ftp protocolls and termination negotiations) that iWeb is not getting enough time at end of each ftp session to register that all the pages have in fact been transferred successfully.   Could this be the explanation?  If so, how do I "slow down" the termination of ftp session by my web hosting service GoDaddy so that iWeb 3.0.4 can see that all files have been successfully transferred and therefore should be marked blue?

    You're rather prone to problems, aren't you. It's not the first time.

    And since you do not use iWeb's ftp, but publish to a folder, iWeb's job is done.
    You are now 100 percent responsible for your actions.
    Upload the files properly. And if you're not blind visually challenged, you can see for yourself where the files are on the server. No need for GoDaddy eyes.
    And why not use iWeb's FTP. Then at least you eliminate the human error.
    And no, GoDaddy won't have to help you with iWeb, because there's nothing to fix.
    And practice FTP first on your computer :

  • IWeb Publish Error - A lock occurred while publishing to MobileMe

    iWeb Publish Error - A lock occurred while publishing to MobileMe. Try publishing again later.
    I've tried all articles so far on apple support site. Tried on new OS user and publishing to folder and publishing a test page. I still get an error. Publishing to folder works fine, its just when I publish to MobileMe. Also tried different network and restarting computer etc.
    Help me. Thanks.

    If you are logged in OK maybe you should look at your Keychain.
    Finer/Go/Utilities/Keychain Access.app.
    Try "Keychain First Aid" from the "Keychain Access" drop down menu.

  • Constantly getting publishing errors in iWeb

    Has any one else experienced publishing errors when trying to publish to your ,mac account?

    Four things could be going on, but it's fixable.
    first.. make sure that your screen saver, and energy saver are turned off in your system preferences. iWeb had trouble with this in it's first version, but since the update it's supposed to be fixed, but I'd still do it.
    second, it's been my experience that iweb is affected by bandwidth issues while uploading. If you're using your browser, uploading or downloading anything else... you'll get the error message and that one file couldn't upload. Make sure that when you click on the publish button you walk away from the computer and don't use it. This appears to be a bigger problem for us G4 users than the G5 folks. Also, it's a memory hog, so seriously, when you publish turn everything else off except your computer and iWeb and walk away. Seems to work for me.
    Third... make sure your idisk is NOT loaded onto your desktop. If it starts refreshing and files are getting put there while you're uploading, iWeb will give you the dreaded error message.
    Finally, just keep republishing. iWeb seems to bog down when you publish sometimes. I re-uploaded my entire website last night, including 7 video podcasts and numerous other blogs that have audio and video in them. I had to publish and publish and publish.... it took four tries, but it finally finished. It seems that it gets farther and farther along each time. Anyway... it works.
    Hope this helps.

  • Publishing Errors in IWeb 1.1.1

    I recently installed iWeb for the first time. I published my first site with little or no problems, a few days later I decided to add pages. Everytime I tried to publish to .mac I got an Unknown Publishing error. I have trawled the forums and this problem seemed to be an issue for 1.1 with the fix to update to 1.1.1. As I am already on 1.1.1 I am unsure what else I can do. I even deleted the saved site on my Powerbook and tried to publish a single blank page (to discount fonts, images etc.) that too gave me the same error. I have logged a support call with Apple but as yet have not received a response...........any suggestions?

    Well, there's not really an answer to your problem. So many people here have described some kind of error or another it's hard to narrow things down to one cause. But there are a couple of things that you can try. See if any of these steps helps you out...
    1. Delete the iWeb preferences file called "com.apple.iWeb.plist" inside the .../Users/Library/Preferences/... folder.
    2. Delete the iLife Media Browser preferences file called "com.apple.iLifeMediaBrowser.plist" inside the .../Library/Preferences/... folder.
    3. Delete the iWeb application. Reinstall from the original iLife'06 DVD or your recovery disks. Update directly to iWeb 1.1.1 using Software Update.
    4. Repair your disk permissions using Disk Utility
    5. Restart your computer and try to publish before launching any other applications.
    6. Try a different internet connection.
    Definitely backup your Domain file before doing anything drastic. This one file contains all the info iWeb needs to know about your websites so that you can continue to edit them in iWeb. So don't lose this file!
    If you have found any of this information to be useful to you, please take the time to provide me with feedback by marking my reply as "solved" or "helpful" using those little buttons that you see in the title bar of this reply. I'd really appreciate it!

  • IWeb unknown publishing errors

    anytime I try to publish, or publish all, or click the publish button, it churns for a moment, then gives me a unknown error.
    I've sat at a genius bar, sat on tech help, and done all I knew how: deleting preferences and caches.
    The genius said I should reinstall my applications with the CD included with my computer. I no longer have the CD, (I have a MacBook), and the woman on tech support said it would be $120 to replace it, but the things I needed were online.
    Despite my best efforts, I just can't find what I need, and I need a working version of iWeb.
    Help me. Please.

    can you publish to a folder successfully?
    Have you looked at the tips on Apnewbie's Publishing Errors Help Page.?
    What is your internet set up like? (Satellite, wireless to DSL, etc.)
    Are you getting an error message? If so, what is it?
    Does the error happen while the blue progress bar is up and it says "Creating page xxx"

  • Publishing iweb site to mobile me. says publish error....

    I made two sites on iweb 08 on my old computer and brought the domain file over to my new computer with iweb 09. I updated all the software and etc. And it will not let me publish.

Talked to three different people. The last person then refereed me to apple care...which I do not have and will have to pay for...so does anyone know what i can do to get this to publish??

  • Latest Security Update Cause Website Login & iWeb Publishing Error?

    Hello all and Happy Holidays!
    I just did the latest Mac OS Security Update early this evening, but I was too sleepy and tried from work, that I disconnect all the peripherals, cables etc, but I forgot to pull out my firewire cable that was connected to a FireWire Hub (but no FW device was turned on at the time)
    So I continued to do the update, restart and Repair Permission, have always been careful and so far nothing has "gone wrong" on my iMac.
    But now I can't log into a particular Members' Webpage, keeps getting a Safari error page saying the server is not responding; Secondly, tonight I have tried at least 3 times trying to publish my latest blog entry on my iWeb, but it gives me the error message asking me to check my network connection.
    I can surf, email, iTunes even download the latest podcast in the background while I am encountering these "small" problems.
    Anyone can help? Most appreciated.
    Has this got to do with the Security Update?
    Thanks and cheers

    Not neccesarily this particular security update, but performing any update while your firewire port was in use. Try resetting the FW port, info here, (I know it works, but resetting it might just do the trick) and see if that helps,

  • When I start my computer the following error: AppleSyncNotifier.exe Entry Point Not Found Procedure entry point xmlTextReaderName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll

    After updating to iTunes version 10.5, every time I start the computer the following error message appears: AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found. Procedure entry point xmlTextReaderName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll? Please help

    Thank you Allan123.
    I have used iTunes 10.5.1 for a while without any problem but the other day I installed an application that wanted to restart my computer and iTunes did probably not shut down properly which probably caused the problems. I had to search for libxml2.dll though. Two other programs on my PC used a with the same name but I copied the one from the an Apple folder of course and pasted it where u suggested and after that everything was fine. I have no idea why this problem really occured without any real reason. But thanks for the solution!

  • My ipod touch isn't syncing to my computer it says error 13019, My ipod touch isn't syncing to my computer it says error 13019

    My ipod touch isn't syncing to my computer it says error 13019 and also my internet is connected but the ipod dosen't open any page I got to on safari.

    You can try a reset.
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Otherwise yo will have to update via iTunes on a computer. Other uses have had to do that.
    -   fyou update on other than your syncing computer/iTunes library following these instructions. When you restore the iPod it will also be updated.

  • Iphone 5 got wet, now apple logo keeps blinking and phone is unresponsive. When I try to restore it I get error code 21 then on another computer I get error code 2006.

    My iPhone 5 got wet and I dried it out for 3 days. Now when I charge it the apple logo keeps blinking. Phone is unresponsive, so I tried to restore it but got error code 21. Tried on another computer and got error code 2006. Any suggestions, or is it impossible to get it back?

    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.
    If neither of those fix it, then it's toast. it will have to be replaced.
