IWeb crashes adding photo page

iweb crashes when adding a photopage to an existing site or trying to create a new site. 'iweb quit unexpectedly while using the SFWordProcessing plugin' given in Problem Report. Adding a blank page does not crash the application. Any ideas appreciated. Arnim

Arnim:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That error message is a result of Snow Safari and iWeb having problems with the Hoefler Text font. See this site for one possible solution: http://iwebfaq.org/e-books/the-million-dollar-trick-or-how-to-fix-iweb-in-10-6-2 /
It may be you're trying to use a theme that uses that font.

IWeb - Bulding a Photo page

When building a Photo page, the "Help" menu says a visitor can select the Slideshow feature to view the photographs. I understand the feature, but I cannot find or figure out how to select the music and other features such as type and length of dissolves, etc. (I'm assuming of course these features are available in iWeb.)

Actually, these features are not supposed to be user configurable. There is no way to select music and change the type and length of dissolves in iWeb.
Bruce Kirman, though, has succeeded in adding music to the .Mac slideshows....
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3011664&#3011664
And Bob Kuhnenn has made the .Mac slideshows autoplaying and also added in controls for display intervals...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3143604&#3143604
All of these things require editing of the underlying code of the slideshows.

IWeb 08 and photo pages!!!!?

when updating my old domain file to the new format, i seemed to have lost all the photos on my old photo pages and the formatting is not correct. I thought what the ****, need to refresh the site so decided to create new photo pages etc, using the new index page as well.
So completed the new pages, saved the domain, published to .mac. site look fine!!!!! Closed iWeb, then opened it again and low and behold, lost the photos and the formating gone.
Anyone know of a fix?
Regards
Mark

I had a problem with photos missing from Photo pages. I just talked to Apple support and we were able to fix the problem for my domain!
The Apple support person said that some domain files are not being properly updated to 2.0. In those cases, peoples are experiencing missing pictures and text as navigation on photo pages.
One indicator if your domain was properly updated to 2.0 is to look at the filename in User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/. In my case the file was Domain.sites and not Domain.sites2 so the initial conversion did not complete properly.
The solution was to replace incorrectly updated Domain.sites file above with the original backup that I made before installing iWeb 2.0. (NOTE - The readme clearly states to backup this file before installing and luckily I did.)
After copying the file to User/Library/Application Support/iWeb, make sure that iWeb is closed (not running). I then double clicked the Domain.sites folder and patiently wait for the Progress bar to complete. (Thank you to another poster on another thread for this suggestion.) You will not receive any success message other than the file will be renamed Domain.Sites2.
After multiple saves and publishes, it appears that everyone now works correctly. The Apple support person was very interested in user feedback and wants more people to report issues via phone. He took my original domain file (via his iDisc account) so he could submit it to engineering for them to study. It sounds like they could still use a few more examples of Domains that fail the initial upgrade to 2.0.
Hope this helps.

IWeb slideshow from photo page doesn't work

My photo page works OK when clicking on a particular picture, then using "next" & "previous" buttons".
When clicking on "play slideshow", I'm greeted with "WE'RE SORRY, but we can't find the iWeb page you've requested"

This is covered in the User's Guide, page 94.

IOS 8 messages crashing adding photos

Iphone 6 Plus 64gb arrived Friday. Messages app worked fine. Adding photos a breeze. By Saturday night it was slower to add photos. Sunday even slower. Now today, when I try to add a photo to a text, it never populated with my last few photos and crashes after 10 seconds or so.
Already reset network settings. No change
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Hi Mikeyis009,
If you are having issues with your iPhone performance and crashing, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
iOS: Force an app to close
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

IWeb crashes when selecting pages.

Hello,
I upgrade to iWeb '09 from '08 yesterday, and had many problems right off the bat. My main site was riddled with missing images, including imaged from the default "Elegant" templates. I sifted though previous version of my site via Time Machine, rebuilt a few pages, and managed to restore my site, mostly.
Now I'm stuck on couple pages that crash iWeb when touched. They're not big pages, so I can rebuild them, but I can't even select them to delete. I went through the Domain.site2 package to see if there's something I can remove, but can't see anything obvious. I tried deleting the .plist file also. I've submitted the errors logs to Apple.
Any thought? Thanks.
iWeb '09 v3.0.1
Mac OSX 10.5.7

I have the same recurring problem. It's always the same page. Deleting the preference file, restarting and fixing disk permissions, fixed it once, I think. But no more. It's just one little page. I can't select it even to delete it. Any other suggestions?

Adding photo albums to Iweb

I'm unsure of how to add a photo album to my Iweb. This is what I see. I'm on my About me page. On the right side mac already has 2 photo albums. I don't know how to add an album on there. I read some things in the other discussions about Idisk, but I see NOTHING in Idisk. Where does the photo album come from? Do I create one in Iphoto, save it to Idisk? But then after I save it how do I get it into the About me photo album?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please put step by step in SIMPLE terms! lol.
Thanks Amanda

Amanda:
The photo album comes from iPhoto. In iPhoto you can create a new album, name it and then add photos to it. Once that's done, go to iWeb, open the photo page layout and click on the Media button at the bottom. A new window will open with Audio, Photo and Movies sections. Click on the Photo and you'll seer the iPhoto library icon and any albums below it. Click on the album you want to add, select all the photos in it and drag them onto one of the photo place cards. That's it.

*visible* comments on iweb photo pages?

hi all
i've read a few posts which complain about the lack of comment functions in iweb, specifically on photo pages.
i use icomment and have experimented with the haloscan option of embedding a haloscan commenting link on an iweb page, but it's a rather unimpressive feature, but an impressive workaround nonetheless.
is there any way to make [haloscan] comments visible?
any advice or tips are warmly accepted.
cheers, lee.

You might want to consider having the comment in an iFrame on your page. You can iFrame the haloscan page into your iWeb page. Use the Haloscan URL to iFrame. For example http://haloscan.com/comments/iwebfaqs/AutoPlay/ can be iFramed into an iWeb site to display the comments on the page instead of having to click a link to see the comments open in a pop-up window. There is more information on how to insert an iFrame into an iWeb site at http://iWebFAQ.com/iFrame
The website http://iWebFAQ.com has pages that require visitors to log in.
www.iWebFAQ.com/iFrame is one of the areas on the website that require users to log in.

No portrait photos in photo page problem

I was just trying to make a photo page in iWeb (as I have done in the past). I start in iPhoto by selecting an event, and then click on the iWeb icon selecting photo page. Export starts, says 92 images. In iWeb, there are only 42. After almost going crazy, I think I figured it out. Only landscape photos are actually showing up in iWeb, portrait ones are missing!
This is a site started in iWeb 1, but I have modified it in the past and already published, but not noticed this problem. I also changed template to no avail. When trying to add the missing portrait pictures from the media browser, they do not get added, only a text box with the photo file name. Also, they do not cause the other pictures to be reshuffled. If I pick a landscape picture, that photo can be added (and the pics regroup while dragging the photo around)
Has anyone else seen something like this? Solutions?

Links to Photo Pages Don't Work After Publish

I have a page with different photos that I would like to link to different "galleries" (iWeb photo pages):
http://www.spiritshopstaff.com/STAFFBASE/STAFFPICS.html
The links to these internal pages work just fine within iWeb, but when I publish (I use Fetch to ftp the site to Yahoo host), the links no longer work.
I created each of these photo pages using an iWeb template and dragging and dropping an iPhoto album to each page, and I suspect this may have something to do with it, but I really have no idea. Can anyone help me figure this one out?
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I meant that I use Yahoo web hosting, and I transfer all of my site files from my Mac HD to the host, via the Fetch ftp program.
All of my site's pages were created in iWeb. The photo pages themselves are internal pages (within the site) that I purposefully left out of the site navigation menu in order to keep things clean. I want users to navigate to these different photo pages from a "gallery selection" page (the STAFFPICS page).
All of the other links within the site appear to be working properly (hyperlinks are active).

IWeb and Aperture photos not looking that good?

hey guys can any of you tell me why
when i done edit my photos in aperture and loads them over in iweb they are not looking that good as in Aperture why is that?
can any help me here?

Opps. I thought I was in the iPhoto forum. Getting old(er).
Have you done this before and had better results?
Are you dragging them onto an iWeb page or into an iWeb album or photo page?
Do you have iWeb's preferences set to optimize photos upon import?

Freezing when trying to edit photo page

I am a longtime user of iWeb and have never had an issue. However today, in trying to update my web page, it began to freeze
I can edit every page except a photo page. The moment that I toggle to that page, it hangs up and I need to force quit.
I have already deleted the "plist" files and emptied the cache and rebooted. This did not affect the situation. In this situation, my ultimate goal is to delete the page, as I am a teacher and the new year is upon us.
Any advice for the deletion of that page would be greatly appreciated.
nick

From the iWeb File menu select New Site: Shift - command - N
Choose a template and a blank page and then click the "Choose" button
A new site named "Site" is created along with a blank page.
In the left column of iWeb, drag the Photo page down to "Site".
Select "Site" and press your delete button.
"Site" is deleted along with the Photo page.
The original site is left intact minus the Photo page.

I added a photo page in iweb to my site. I don't want to see the tile of images at the top when I enlarge one image.

I added an additional photo page to my site. When I click on an image to enlarge it, I automatically see the tile of images above. I want to change the tile button to white.

you can hide thumbnails row by:
1) double click on any thumbnail to get to detail view.

IWeb crashed. Most recent page (mostly) lost. Suggestions?

Okay, I've searched the forum and am afraid I already know the answer, but I'll post this anyway.
On a month-old iMac (24 inch, 3.06 GHz), I was working on a page yesterday of vacation pictures. I keep pages of pictures of my daughter for out-of-town relatives, creating a new page for each month. I just started the August page and was placing 145 captioned pictures on the page. Midway through, iWeb crashed, and when the app restarted, the August page had been replaced by a generic page with three "Drag Your Photos Here" frames. An hour's worth of work had evaporated. And, no, I had not saved.
So I started again--and this time I saved frequently. I eventually added all 145 pictures and captioned each. I saved and then uploaded to MobileMe. Then I left the computer to accomplish other tasks. When I returned, I saw the message that iWeb had again crashed and when I relaunched it--in spite of my multiple saves--the page was lost and iWeb had reverted to a pre-saved condition with the same generic page described above.
I went to the Domain.sites2 file and reopened it, but my August page was lost.
I searched the discussion threads. I read the iWeb FAQ pages (http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebBackupretrieve.html). I used extensive profanity.
The most frustrating part is that it did correctly upload to MobileMe, so my family has access to these pictures... but I don't. I want to keep adding to the August page.
I understand that I'm probably going to have to recreate the page. *But I don't want to waste 90 minutes or 2 hours of my time just to have the same thing happen a third time*.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

To help you recover for unusual situations in the future you can use Varkgirl's Automator workflow which will compress (zip) and backup the contents of your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Documents folder. You can get if from Varkgirl's iWeb Tips and Tricks site. Or Click Here to download it directly from her site.
I've created a modified version which does not zip the domain file but copies the entire iWeb folder to the Desktop. You can edit the file with Automator to change the destination of the copied folder to wherever you'd like. You can download it from Toad's Cellar .

Updting iweb/crashes/iphoto also crashed & lost photos/iweb & iphoto probs.

Can someone please help me....... I updated my iwebsite this morning by adding a blog (only 5 blogs in total on site) and importing a photo from iphoto plus changing a couple of words on a photo page.
I then published which was fine.
I then went to do an additional change and publish.
A grey screen came down on the screen followed by 'restart computer' panel in 3 languages.
I restarted to find that iweb would not open and that all photos in iphoto had disappeared.
I then spent over an hour on the 'phone with the applecare protection plan customer help - we rebooted, went into an alternate account and did various other things but I was told the photos were lost and that I should reinstall iweb.
I noticed that the iphoto info still showed 602 mb (aperture shows 305 & this application is fine). Having gone through all my programmes I have now found all my photo files in Adobe Bridge.
1.Can anyone advise how I can import these back into iphoto. (Fortunately most were backed up - just the last week's work wasn't and individual files for an exhibition)
2. Can anyone advise what to do re iweb reinstallation and importing the saved iwebsite back in.
Sorry this is longwinded - should have done this in the first place rather than go to the apple care centre which hasn't resolved issue.
A big thank-you for any help or advice (I'm not a techy but can follow clear instructions!!)
Cheers

If you look in your Pictures folder you should find the iPhoto Library folder. Check inside for an Originals folder and confirm that it contains your full sized image files. If so then you'll have to start afresh with a new library and import your photos from the old library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
Once this is completed you can delete the Originals folder from the desktop and the iPhoto Llibrary folder. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup. See the tip at the end of my signature.
As for iWeb, locate the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and look inside. Is there only one .sites file in there. If there is more than one Control-click on the largest and select the "Show Package Contents" option in the contextual menu. Check to see if the files used to build your site are there. If so move the other file out of the folder and make sure the file is named Domain.sites. Then try opening it with iWeb.
To prevent iPhoto from this again check out this tip:
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
