IWeb is losing my pictures-Help!

I had some big problems with iWeb '06. I had a nice blog with about 20 entries in it, published to .Mac. On the blog pages, I would insert inline pictures imported from iPhoto. iWeb apparently doesn't like it if you put too many pictures on a blog page, and after a couple of posts with 20 or so pictures, iWeb would randomly delete the pictures from the blog, leaving just a placeholder where the picture used to be. So, I stopped putting pictures in the blog, but the damage was done. My blog was hopelessly messed up.
So, I upgraded to iWeb '08, and started from scratch. I deleted the old domain file, and made a new one. I wanted to keep the pages clean, so I am not adding any extra pictures to the blog. Instead, I am using photo pages and an album page to keep them organized.
So, now I have 8 albums with anywhere from 15 - 50 pictures in each. Total of about 300 pictures spread across all the albums. HERE IS MY PROBLEM - When editing the Albums page in iWeb, I get the spinning beach ball of death. After a while, it goes away, as do the pictures in the display on the albums page (they are still in the photo page, but gone from the album page), leaving a black space where there should be an area to skim through pictures.
My domain file is about 130 MB. I'm on a MacBook Pro, 17", 2.33 Ghz, with 2GB of RAM.
I'm afraid to add any more pictures, lest this on gets messed up like the last one. Any ideas?

I ended up reinstalling iLife '06 again, and then ultimately getting a new internal hard drive b/c ours was corrupted. But I am really kicking myself b/c while I published to a folder to "backup" I did apparently did not save the Domain file before we got the new HD. So I have a lovely copy of my iWeb site in a folder on my desktop that I can't use, b/c I don't have the domain file. So now I rebuild...
So essentially I don't have an answer to this problem at all, except if you reinstall iWeb, and use your Domain file to open your site, that may work. Soooo frustrating.

Try deleing the download and try again. It is located:
IPSW file location for Mac and Windows
If yo restore, the iPod will also be update. You can try that. Just make sure that you backup first so yo can restore from backup

How do I move pictures off my phone without losing the pictures permanently? Is there a way to keep the pictures in the cloud without them being on my device?

How do I move pictures off my phone without losing the pictures permanently? Is there a way to keep the pictures in the cloud without them being on my actual phone? I'm concerned that the sync feature will remove the pictures from the cloud when they are deleted from my phone.
Thanks for the help.

Can I back up iPhoto to the cloud via some apple service (iCloud)
No
or do I need to use something else? If so, any recommendations?
An external hard disk:
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

Using MobileMe Gallery instead of iWeb 06 for eBay Picture Hosting

img src="http://gallery.me.com/YOURUSERNAME/100016/DCP17093/web.jpg"
After a problem with iWeb '06 I discovered, with help from members here and on eBay, that I can use MM Gallery for eBay. You Control-Click your Gallery picture to get its URL and paste that into your item description.

UPDATE!
There's a package of 3 html files, one that is called index.html. that can find the URL of a photo on the grid page of an iWeb photo page. When used it will look like this

I'll put the zipped folder on my Cellar site in a bit and post back here with the URL to download it.

TS2167 I changed my header in iweb and when I published the site the font had shrunk and it displayed incorrectly. It was only on my home page, not on others. I have iweb 3.0.4. Help!?!?

Just in-case anyone els runs into this, I figured it out... I was working from my hotel and apperantly the fire wall was not allowing anything to uplaod, but I wasn't getting an error message from iweb, it would say that everything was published succesfully even though it wasn't. Once I went home and used my connection eveything worked fine.

So I cannot scan my pictures, help. Windows 8.1 with HP Officejet 6500A Plus printer. Scanner works with other programs in my PC. Problem is PS12

I bought the Officejet 6500A Plus about one month and have experienced the very same problem. I tried to remedy this problem following suggestions in a number of different posts (static IP, router, firewalls etc), all to no avail. Last week I called support. The support I received by the tech over several hours and different days for a week was very good. However none of his suggestions corrected the connection issue. After today's recommended fix failed, he advised HP is aware of this issue with the 6500 and other affected printers. He claimed HP was working on a firmware upgrade. He did not know when the update would be provided. The tech also claimed HP acknowledged this problem in a written announcement. He agreed to email the announcement to me. I haven't received it. This has been the only problem I've had with the 6500

Fix the problem. What can I do without losing any pictures or videos?

iPhoto opens, I can see pictures but cannot do anything. It appears frozen. Force quit and restart does not fix the problem. What can I do without losing any pictures or videos? I cannot check my version of iPhoto.

I cannot check my version of iPhoto.
It may be visible the Finder, when you select the IPhoto.app and use the command "File > Get Info".
Is your profile signature still valid (iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)?)
Do you have a backup of your iPhoto Library? If not, make a backup copy now.
What happened directly before this problem first occurred? did you upgrade the system? Install new software? Move your iPhoto library to a new drive? Run any cleaning applications? Did iphoto crash?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

IWeb and full resolution pictures for download

I finally got a good camera and wanted to share those glorious 12MP (3-4MByte) pictures via iWeb. I'd not paid much attention before now, but iWeb is fond of "optimizing" and reducing the size of pictures in order to save space and improve upload and download times. Even if you uncheck "optimize" in preferences, and select "download full resolution" in the photo inspector, I've found that some times you get the full multi-megabyte picture, then for reasons unknown to me, most other pictures have been reduced from 1/4 to 1/10 the original file size and the resolution has been reduced, say form 3000x4000 pixel to 768x1024 (seems arbitrary ...).
How to deal with this. Nothing direct that I can find: uncheck optimize works for a bit, them reverts; full size download refers to the size after such "optimizing." I think it's a bug, but maybe others think it's a feature.
My indirect work around: use your public folder on idisk in me.com. Create a folder structure to mirror your iWeb picture album structure to simplify life for your guest. Password protect it if you want some privacy.
Then go ahead and let iWeb optimize, and select the download size you want (maybe "medium" is fine for some users, for example).
But include on each picture or album page a hyperlink to your me.com public folder: the link will look something like https://public.me.com/<your me.com name here>. If you've specified a password, it will be requested when someone uses the link. I don't think there is any finer grain hyperlink available to your public folder - for example, to the sub folders you create to mirror your album structure.
The public idisk options are in preferences in idisk on iWeb.
If you only want to share a few pictures, it may be easier for the user to share individual file with a similar hyper link set up for each one using link outside the picture container object (can't be inside), or for each picture on the detail page (the comment, such as the image name, can be made a clickable element (hyper link). If you have tens or more pictures to share at once, this method is pretty inconvenient.
The sharing options for individual files are available when you select file via idisk in me.com
So, there it is. Hope this suggestion helps someone.
Eddie O
PS: Yes, I've offered feedback to Apple about this lack of flexibility in iWeb.

If you only want to share a few of the larger files zip them and put them in a folder titled Pictures in your iDisk/Web/Sites folder. Then create a thumbnail or text hyperlink to them at http://web.me.com/MMeAccount_Name/Pictures/FileName. That way they will immediately download when the link is selected.
A viewable version of the photo can be placed on the page and linked to the larger zipped version on your iDisk.

IWeb 08 - Next the universe help needed

I have built a website with the original iWeb and I am currently rebuilding it again on iWeb 08.
http://web.mac.com/jamie_jones
So far everything is going well and will be uploaded soon.
But I now want to take things further and have my own domain name and host my own sight on my own hardware at my office.
How easy is this?
Now I know that I will need a faster connection than my broadband and I am looking into that.
But this is what I don't know and need advise on.
Can I use a Mac Mini, load my website on it and point my new domain name to my static isp?
I know that I will need to leave the mac mini on perminantly for my website to be live for people to view it. Or is it not as easy as that?
If that won't work what would I need to do and have to host my own websites from the mac range of equipment?
The reason I want to do this is because eventually I want different websites for different aspects of my business.
In the long run I will also want to run an image library and sell pictures on it once I have mastered some of the easier aspects.
I know that I will need to venture away from iWeb to achieve all that. But it is the hosting aspect I need help on. I know that it is not a full iWeb question, but I couldn't see a better place to post it. I am sure other people must have had the same thoughts.
All advice would be most helpful.

Did you see this?

To my fellow iweb 09 users can you help me before i kill myself plz....

I am building a website in iweb 09 and came across a nice website that hass an rss feed in which it was a twitter. can you help me do the same here is the website. http://www.amrivlin.com/AMRivlin/AMRivlin.html its on his first page... i would really appreciate it very much.

There are two ways. Here's how to get what you want: got to your twitter profile and under all the people you're following on the right, where it says something about an rss feed click that link. BUT!!! before you do hold down command (Apple key) and shift and keep holding them down as you click it. A screen should flash up, but only for a second , at that time, while holding down Command and shift press 3 (the one above the letters) this takes a screenshot. Go to your desktop and find "Picture 1" Open it and look at the URL. Now open iWeb and go to you're RSS widget type in the URL and then custimize as you'd like.
The easier way......
Enter this code into an HTML snippet. THe thing is, its not an RSS, just a snippet. Here;s the link to the code: http://twitter.com/widgets/profileflashwidget

HT1766 I got a new MacBook Air. I need to sync my iPhone with the iTunes on my new computer so I can back up my iPhone. How do I do this without losing my pictures/contacts, etc. on my iPhone?

I have not updated my phone yet because I know it needs to be backed up first. However, I cannot do this in fear of losing everything on it if I sync to my new itunes. I am not really concerned with losing music, just do not want to lose pictures, notes, etc.

First you need to copy the entire iTunes folder from the
old computer to the new one. You should also make sure
that anything on the old computer that goes on the iPhone
is present on the new computer.
If it is a Mac, this process is usually pretty easy by using
Migration Assistant which will transfer all that stuff over to
the new Mac.
If you are using a PC, I will defer that to someone else for
all but the iTunes stuff. You will do the same thing on the
PC, that is copy the entire iTunes folder to the new computer.
Migration assistant is available to move things from a PC,
but not sure how well that works.
When openning iTunes for the first time, you will need to hold
down the Option key on the Maccbook Air and you will
be presented with a dialog box and you will select open existing
library and navigate to it. Failure to do this, will create a default
library with nothing in it and you will have to move stuff again.
So if all the data is the same, you should be able to sync
just fine.

Ive lost iphotots and iweb after hard drive failed help

Hi my hard drive failed yesterday and I took it to the apple store who confirmed it had failed. They advised I should purchase a new one, provided me the specs and fit it myself. I've now clearly done that because I'm writing this
However I've reloaded everything back on but i've noticed my iphoto and iweb are missing!!! I really need these apps, I cant remember how I put them on the machine, be it disc or download but clearly ive paid for these app.
Please please help me I really need these apps as I have current workload dependant on having these apps

iPhoto is included with the iLife apps and can be downloaded from the Mac App store or if your Mac is slightly older and came with an earlier version of OS X then Mt Lion then those apps are on the second system install discs that came with your system (Which I suspect it is an older Mac as iWeb is no longer included in the iLife suit of programs).
So dig out your original system discs and use the one marked Applications to reinstall those apps. Then update them from software update.
If for some reason they won't install on Mt Lion then you will need to wipe the drive, Re-Install the original OS X version and the iLife apps then upgrade back to Mt Lion.
EDIT, NOTE: To the OP and DS store.
iWEB Still works on ML as long as it is updated to the newest version. If the Applications disc is new enough it will even install on Mt Lion.

ILife 08 iWeb 08 - Podcast Not Working HELP!

I may not have explained myself in my last post, so I'll try again. o.k. Who has had a problem with the new 08 stuff? I am not a computer genius and do my podcast in garageband, share it with iWeb, and publish with .mac. I am not good at code and have gone this route becasue it was being done for me. Since changing to 08, my podcast stopped working. I spoke to the "Genius" at the Apple store and he helped my change my website by removing the "iWeb" from the forwarded address. Now my website works. However, he had no clue on how to change this in iTunes. How can I get iWeb 08 and iTunes to work together to play my podcasts again? Any help would be apppreciated. My URL from the iTunes store is: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=264963988

Godaddy installed the
m4a MIME type on my hosting acount
Very useful info that some servers need this to be done! It would be nice to know exactly how they did it, but I suspect it was an addition to the .htaccess file along the lines of
AddType audio/x-m4a m4a
AddType audio/x-m4b m4b
If you can see the .htaccess or .config file in your space I would be interested to know if it says something like this.

Aperture exports Events to iPad, iPhoto and iWeb with only first picture

I have an issue with publishing photos to iPad, iPhone and iWeb from Aperture. When I want to publish photos I do find list of all Events in the device like in Aperture Library but each Event contains just the first photo. The remaining photos are absent although I can find them among all the pictures in the Photo Browser. This indicates that the photos have been transferred to the device but for some reason not included in the Events.
In Aperture each Event opens with all the photos contained. Did I miss something in the setting of Aperture or the device?
Milan

This problem is still ongoing.... Having synced my entire library to my iPad, not having projects in date order is a real pain - and makes finding a certain project very tedious.
Does anyone have any kind of fix for this yet?
Alexander, in what way did Apple acknowledge this problem?
Thanks,
David
