IWeb fresh install not working.  Why?

This is going to sound like a newbie issue, even though I've been a Machead for over 20 years...
I just bought and installed iLife '06. I went to play with iWeb and almost all the menus and buttons are grayed out. I can't create a new page by either the file menu or the plus-sign. In fact the ONLY live choice in the file menu is close.
I'm pretty sure I haven't missed any of the obvious things. Anybody seen this or have a hint?
Rob

Hi Rob,
I've heard of people reporting all of their menu choices all greyed out on preinstalled systems, but yours is the first I have heard of the problem occuring after installing from the iLife DVD. Interesting.
Try deleting the iWeb preferences file "com.apple.iWeb.plist" inside your User/yourname/Library/Preferences folder if it exists yet. Then try launching iWeb.
If there is no improvement, then reinstall iWeb from the iLife DVD and then update it to 1.1.1 using the update .dmg file from Apple directly (as opposed to using Software Update). Here it is...

This seems to have helped a lot of the other people I have come across with this greyed out menu issue. Hopefully it will help you, too. Let me know. Good luck!

  • NCM 1.5 fresh install - Not working...

    Fresh install of NCM 1.5 and launching it is not working. The documentation was not helpful (Getting Started, User Guide, etc.) and did not have any troubleshooting. Where are the logs located? Anyone been through this before?
    Basically, I install and update to SP1. After reboot I launch the browser to go to Admin Settings and it says page cannot be displayed Thanks for any help.

    Hey Michael,
    What platform?  Solaris, Windows, Redhat?
    What are your server specs (CPU, RAM, disk)
    Are you using the embedded mySQL database or going with external Oracle or MS SQL Server?
    Could you install NCM 1.5 fresh and then try to access the system without installing SP1 first?
    You want to see that you're accessible on the base product...  Get another account in there besides admin.  Maybe add a device or two (but don't go crazy).  Once you've validated the base functionality, then an upgrade to SP would be good.
    We need to see if this is an issue with NCM 1.5 (FCS) on your platform or with SP1...
    On Solaris install logs go to /opt/CWNCM and /opt/CWNCM/server/logs
    Should be in similar base directories on Windows.

    Well the error message is in Swedish but says: The installation program database is damaged. Please contact the Adobe support (which is a hard thing to do!!). I use Windows 7 Home Premium with service pack 1.

    These prices are for the U.S.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
    iPhone model          Out-of-Warranty Service
    iPhone 5          $229
    iPhone 4S          $199
    iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
    iPhone 3G, Original iPhone          $149
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax.
    When setting up out-of-warranty service, Apple will request credit card pre-authorization for the maximum service fee listed above.  This amount will be deducted from your credit limit. The final service fee we charge will be determined during testing and may be less than the service fee listed above.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.
    Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare service contract coverage, whichever is longer. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.

  • Short iWeb address does not work

    My short iWeb address does not work. Everybody says that http://web.mac.com/username is all that is needed but I have to type in the full http://web.mac.com/username/iWeb/sitename.

    Kriztykat,
    Is it possible that you have not updated to iWeb 1.1.1 yet? The "Publish ALL to .Mac" menu item was made available after version 1.1, I believe. I would recommend that you update. However, if you don't want to update for whatever reason, you can get the "Publish All to .Mac" menu item to appear by holding down the "Option" key and selecting the same menu. You should see the "Publish to .Mac" item now becomes "Publish All to .Mac".
    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!

  • The Restriction option to NOT ALLOW CHANGES to Mobile or Cellular data does not work why is this ?

    The Restriction option to NOT ALLOW CHANGES to Mobile or Cellular data does not work why is this ?

    Hi there,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.
    iOS: Force an app to close

    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

    Additionally, you may want to try completely disabling and re-enabling restrictions.

  • Since 2012 I have Photoshop Elements always worked without any problem, however now the language is suddenly German how can this be changed, removed the program and re-installed, not working. Program is downloaded and updated via the apple app store?

    I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
    It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
    Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
    Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html

  • I can't update or Re install the new Firefox on my win 8.1 system. The setup up that downloaded is not working, why?

    The setup up that downloaded is not working.

    If the file has "stub" in the name, it needs to connect back to the server for additional files. Some firewalls block that. Try installing the full installer from the following page (scroll down for your preferred language):
