Iweb fast on mac slow on windozzzeee...why?

i have been looking after the upkeep of a rugby club in my local village. About 6 months ago, i scrapped the hosting company i was with and swapped to iweb. However, everyone is really happy with the site, but recently have had one or two concerns that the pages are quite slow to show up on a pc...The pages on a mac show up very quickly, ive resized every image as low as i can really. The main problem with a pc is that the links on top of the page dont show up for a good few seconds after the page has loaded...Does anyone know whats happening here? heres the site

It's probably not Windows, just specifically IE, MAINLY because IE is a poor browser. Using firefox will yield an appreciably higher quality experience BUT you can't control what people use to see your site.
Those are being rendered as .PNG graphics and the way IE has to render the page, it has to load ALL the images and then go back and "fix" the .PNG's so that they render as transparent. You could try removing those links and manually create buttons (maybe with a gradient) that wold link to your pages, but you won't have the "rollover" effect.

Fast on Mac, Slow on CENTOS?

I have a beautiful quad core, quad proc AMD Opteron box(16 cores!)
which ran beaucoup bucks running CentOS, and a bottom-of-the-line Mac
Mini that ran not so many beaucoup bucks. Both are using JDK1.6.
One of my devs developed a .jar on the Mac Mini, where it runs a
hundred times per second. When I transplant it to the big iron, it
slows down to the mere 4 seconds per loop.
I was wondering if there's any special JDK configuration parms I should be looking at
on CentOS.

I haven't found Centos to be significantly faster/slower than Windows, RedHat or SUSE.
It sounds like your program is doing something differently when it is running on Centos. i.e. it is most likely a bug in your program.
Either that our you are getting most of your data off a network device and running that data locally on your Mac.
Do you see it using much CPU, if so, I suggest you try performance profiling on the Centos box.
try adding the following to your program's command line.
-Xrunhprof:cpu=samples,interval=1,depth=7,file=profile.hprof

Iweb site on .mac LOADING SLOW! Please Help

My iweb site loads very slow. It does have a lot of images, but can someone help me to convert some of my text files that iweb made images to text? Or any other advice would be much appreciated.
Here's my site it's hosted on .mac
http://youth.kccfamily.org
Thanks!

But if that's the solution, then doesn't that mean
that if I add a new site as a separate domain file,
it will delete all the old domains again? (my
bandwidth is not unlimited, though I can use the
connection at work…)
No, it won't do this, since any new sites you will (hopefully) be creating in new domain files. The reason it happens after you split the domain files is because each newly split Domain file still had memory of ALL of your sites. So when you deleted the extra sites out to leave one, then iWeb thinks that you wanted them deleted from online as well. That's why it deletes the other sites when you publish one. But after the first round of "Publish Alls", iWeb is satisfied that it has done its job, and it has purged any knowledge of those other sites in the process. So it won't happen again.
And does using iWebsites complicate matters?
iWeb won't complicate matters as far as publishing goes.
How much of a difference does it make, and would it
be safer to use the manual folder / Domain file
structure?
Either method is safe as long as you understand what is going on. All that iWebSites is doing is moving around the different Domain files for you. It also helps you to create new Domain files. It supposed to be easier than doing things manually...or you don't need to know the manual method if you use iWebSites.

Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Start with a visit to: OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. SyncTwoFolders
6. Synk Pro
7. Synk Standard
8. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

Anyone know how to publish iWeb site to .mac groups?

Hi all
This is my first message here... So... Be patient plz
I'm afraid that I know the answer, but I hope that someone can tell me(us) more...
Is it true that it is NOT possible to publish a site from iWeb to a .mac group?
Why this feature is missing???
I've heard that this was present in iWeb 07. Is it true?
Anyone knows if it will be available in a future patch??
sigh, I've just buyed a .mac accounts to publish project for private groups... :(((
Thanks to all for support. Excuse me for my bad English
Mayran

It's Sad.
Groups are, in my opinion, the best feature of .mac account.
Project, club, private site of people... great things.
It's why I have payed for this account.
But if you can't use the integration of mac to build up information
it's very useless and to me it doesn't appear too professional
from apple to cut off this feature.
My fault, I haven't seen this particular information.
Anyway thanks for the information
I hope apple will reintegrate this feature
Greetings from Italy

How would install iWeb on my mac pro.

I'd like to install iWeb on my mac pro. When I download the install, it tells me I can't install because i don't have a version. I know I don't have iweb on my mac. I want to know if and how can i install iweb on my mac pro. I'm running os 10.7.5. thanks

If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
OT
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

With this intel core i7, it should be fast, very fast.
What may be the problem? how can i correct this?
Thank you for your help.

Bonjour
What is the size of your domain file (domain.sites2) ?
By default, the domain file is there:
Macinstosh HD > Users > Home folder (Username) > Library > application Support > iWeb > domain.sites2

IWeb publishing to .Mac/iDisk- interruptions: does connection speed matter?

Greetings,
I posted an earlier message somewhere in the iWeb08 forum regarding my suddenly experiencing lack of completion of publishing iWeb site to .Mac. Publishing just stops - no error message comes up. I have however noticed that my internet connection has been also varying in speed - down to a few dozen kbps in the last day, which is when I started experiencing this problem. Does connection speed affect such publishing? in other words, if connection speed goes down tremendously, does publishing to .Mac sort os "times out"???
Will appreciate input!

More than likely you are seeing a cached copy of your website. Sometimes this is a local phenomenon and a simple clearing of your browser cache does the trick (Safari>Empty Cache). However sometimes your ISP is the culprit with caching at their level. This seems to be a chronic problem with ISPs in the UK for some reason. And the only thing you can do is to wait it out.
You can try adding a "?" to the end of your URL to force Safari to fetch a non-locally-cached copy of your site, but even this won't help if your ISP is overzealously caching material.
Anyone in the UK can shed light on this ISP phenomenon???

Issues with publishing my iWeb site to .MAC - Progress bar freezes at 100%

Well, as topic says, i'm having troubles publishing my iWeb site to .MAC now since upgrading to '08. The progress bar reaches full circle, but then nothing. Left it uploading to .Mac for well over 2 hours one time while out of the house...nada. Sometimes i get an error message, sometimes not and have to close iWeb while it's still publishing.
Any feedback regarding this?
Thanks in advance.
/Rich

Update: After 36 hours, I have successfully managed to upload my entire website via the "Publish All to .Mac" option. I now have blue indicators on the left side of my iWeb program in place of those pesky red ones. How did I do it? Well, I'm not sure. But on my last attempt I looked at the problem from a different perspective, so I took an alternate approach. I had a feeling that I was experiencing a network timeout issue caused by a 3rd party software, so I created a Whitelist entry on my website filtering software that allows unlimited access to "idisk.mac.com";; and "web.mac.com";; domains. I've got two kids at home, so I'm running the free OpenDNS Dashboard service on my network which provides content filtering (blocks adult site, phishing site, etc..). I started using this service two weeks ago. My last website update was a week before that. I figured I had nothing to loose by trying. To my surprise, it worked. Now, it took almost two hours to publish, of which the pie indicator was in the "filled" position for a nerve racking hour. To reconfirm, I then made a minor change to one of the pages on my website and re-published. This time using the "Publish to .Mac" option in place of the ALL option and once again it worked. It took less than 5 minutes. Now, I'm not sure if this is a coincidence, maybe Apple fixed the problem, or maybe my website filtering service was causing some type of time out issue all along?? Don't know.. But at least for now, I'm a happy camper since I have my site up.

Which software is better Mac or Windows? Why?

Please explain why, if Windows is better i'll download it.

Get a Mac and have both Mac OSX and Windows on the same machine.
Have the excellent Mac, with both OS, why choose when you can have both.

Running iWeb '08 on Mac OS X server

I have a problem. I am trying to get iWeb running on a Mac OS X server (Tiger 10.4.10) but when I start iWeb it does not come up with creating new site.
Can you run iWeb '08 on Mac OS X server?
Thanks.
M.

System requirements for iLife show:
Mac OS X v10.4.9 or later
I don't know that the server version would be covered by that. But I also have no personal experience or knowledge.

Open quicktime file to play movie and mac hangs and leaves artifacts (screen smear) on screen mac slows down

I recently completed a clean install of snow leopard and added some RAM to my MAC
when I open a QuickTime file... my MAC slows down, I get the rainbow pin wheel and screens and menus that I try to access start to "smear"... leave behind artifacts
ultimately the movies flutter and don't play properly, and I have to restart my MAC to reset my desktop
I suspect it may be related to my RAM because I've never had this issue previously although it only seems to occur when I use QuickTime
... also I installed "flip for mac"
I purchased the RAM from OWC
thoughts?

The codec info should have been listed before the comma that precedes 640x360. Seems to be a bug in the recent versions of QT 7. If you have QT Pro you can still find the codec name by opening Movie Properties and checking the video format that way. Anyway, since Perian cant play it I suspect you are out of luck in MacOS x. Not all avi decompressors have been ported to OS X. It may be that the compressor is one of the old Indeo codecs and those definitely will not work in X. They will work in the Classic environment but a lot of you folks have given up on Classic. Just in case here is a link to the Indeo codecs for Classic: Indeo codecs for Classic
Have you tried playing it in VLC. If it is not an Indeo file VLC may play it.
The Mac version of WMP doesn't play avi or mpeg files -- mostly it plays wmv or asf files and not even the most recent versions of those formats.

HT1338 How do I install iweb on my mac?

Please advice me how I could install iweb on my mac. it came without it.

You'd need to get iLife 09 (Which has it) and install it from there.

PNG for a WEB: "None/Fast" or "Smallest/Slow"?

I need to do for a WEB many PNG icons (aprox. 70x70 pixels e/a). There will be like 20 of them loaded in the WEB at the same time.
PLEASE, which kind of compression I should pick when I save as a PNG: "None/Fast" or "Smallest/Slow", and "Interlaced" or not?
My main concern is that the WEB page should load them the fastest possible.
Thank you in advance !

Smallest/Slow seems the best choice (I think the "slow" part refers to how long it will take to save, not load) I haven't found a browser that doesn't deal with that setting. I never use Interlaced myself; gone are the days when pages paint pixels before your very eyes.
Consider saving from within the Save For Web feature, which can be configured to save no additional metadata and no color profile.
Consider also just trying the different settings, then looking at the files yourself. That's how those giving advice have likely learned the best settings.
