Iweb is not letting me publish

Every time I try to publish my .mac site a "Mobile Me" pop up appears. I say "no thanks" and then it closes, and my site is not published. What can I do? Has anyone else had this problem? I have tried restarting the program and computer and the same box appears every time I try to publish.
thanks,
Chris

Do you have a MobileMe account that you're trying to publish to? If so try the following:
1 - go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
2 - login with a bogus username and password like "test" and "test". This clears the caches.
3 - login with your correct username and password.
4 - launch iWeb and try again.

  • IWeb won't let me publish.  Asking for mobileme password

    Hello,
    not sure what is going on here.  All of the sudden iWeb won't let me publish my site.  When I go to publish a Mobileme window comes up asking me to sign in.  Maybe I changed my password without remembering it.  How do I get me password and Member Name info?
    thanks,
    C

    Ok, I can sign into apple.com with a new password but still can't publish my website from iWeb or sign in from there.  Someone please help before I smash my computer!

  • IWeb Won't Let Me Publish

    All of a sudden my iWeb site won't let me publish my site.
    When I click publish, it loads and it says 'logging into MobileMe' and iWeb just freezes and I have to force to close the app by clicking on it at the dock.
    Can anyone help me or know why it's doing this?
    Thanks

    Hiya I'm just wandering if you could help us, I'v experiencing the exact same problem as what you were having!! However I cannot seem to rectify it. My website has been published now for about six months and have had absolutely no problems at all until recently. I'm trying to publish to mobile me from iweb 08. I changed my password but no luck!! Just wandering if you might know? Cheers.

  • My iWeb will not let me remove a downloadable file?

    In iWeb I accidently created a downloadable file. Whenever someone goes on my website and clicks on the specific box it downloads a file that I have store on my computer. I tried seeing if there was text in the box and there wasn't. On the box there is the hyperlink symbol on the bottom right-hand corner.
    I cannot get rid of this downloaded able file, any ideas?

    I did that I cannot find it, but it is not like that. I know which box it is it has a the blue arrow thing, the hyperlink sign, but it will not let me diable it as a hyperlink. When I drag my cursor over it is says, /Expierence.., and I tried deleting it and it won't.

  • IWeb won't let me publish 2 sites to mobileme....

    I have 2 sites created with iweb with 2 different domain names.  When I edit both sites, only one site gets published.  I do not even have the option of 'publish to mobileme" on pages of my second site.  I have tried 'publish all' and Iweb shows that both sites are being uploaded but then no changes appear on site #2 online when refreshed...  Can anyone help me?

    iWeb 2 always publsihed all sites in the doman file.  That's why many users would create individual domain files for publishing. However, if publsihing to the same MMe account there new site would be published but the existing site(s) would be deleted. 
    The fact that you're publishing the two sites to different accounts would aleviate that potential problem. For using multiple domain files with iWeb 2 I sugget you get iWebSites. 
    I use iWebSites to manage over 75 individual sites.  It lets me create multiple sites:
    Click to view full size
    and multiple domian files:
    Click to view full size
    If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow that I used to split them into individual sites with iWebSites:
    Click to view full size
    Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process and move it to another location on your HD until you're satisfied the separation process is completed and what you want.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.
    If you don't use iWS you can publish your sites to a folder on your hard drive and upload the site file manually to the appropriate family account on your iDisk.
    NOTE:  Since iWeb is no longer being supported by Apple I suggest you purchase the boxed iLIFE 11 which contains the latest iWeb as well as iDVD which is also being discontinued by Apple.  Once those boxed copies of iLife 11 are gone there will be no way to obtain the last version of iWeb, V 3.0.4.  IMO it's worth the cost for the improvements to iWeb over version 2.  Also iWeb 3 has a builtin FTP client which will make is eacy to publish  your site(s) to a 3rd party hosting server which will be necessary after MobileMe is discontinued on June 30, 2012.
    With a 3rd party host like HostExcellece, which offers a package for $3.95/mo (2 year committment) that included unlimited space and bandwidth, one free domain name, multiple email addresses and excellent 24/7 ear-to-ear customer support,  you can publish as many sites to that acocunt as you'd like.  Selecdt a domain name and publish each site to it.  The URL for each site would be www.your-domain-name.com/site-name.  So you can have as many sites under that one domain name as you'd like.   That's what I do.

  • IWeb Would Not Let Me Copy

    From another thread telling me where to locate my iWeb files from a backup source - I found it and everything was there.
    Unfortunately, when I tried to copy the iWeb folder to the new iWeb - it is giving me the error that I do not have permission to copy the file.
    What is happening?

    The only file that iWeb can work with is the Domain.sites2 file that, by default, is located in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. iWeb cannot read or import html files from a previously published site.
    So If you don't have a domain file that contains your site you'll have to start over and recreate the site from scratch. However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing image, audio and/or video files in the published site in the reconstruction of the site.

  • Iweb movie not displayed after publishing

    Hi there
    I created a new site in iweb with two photo pages and one movie page. The photo pages work fine but the published movie page does not show the movie, only a white square with the quicktime logo.
    I checked idisk and the movie file has been uploaded and is there. Any ideas what the problem might be?
    Barbara

    Hi Tom,
    thanks for your interest in my question. It looks like it is the same issue that is being discussed in another topic - the movie file takes a couple of minutes to load on my 512kb broadband connection (which I found out by chance as I had left Safari open at the website) but there is no indication whatsoever that it is still loading. Hopefully Apple can address this issue soon.

  • Using document.getElementById to change an element size works in iWeb but not when site published

    I am trying to use an HTML snippet to construct a "popup" to show explanatory text on iWeb windows. This is the code:
    <div id="divName"></div>
    <style type="text/css">
    /*<![CDATA[*/
    #divName {
         border:solid 0px #000;
         text-align:left;
    /*//]]>*/
    </style>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    //<![CDATA[
    function mouseOver()
        var el=document.getElementById("divName");
                       el.style.width=400+"px";
                       el.style.height= 200+"px";
                       el.style.margin="auto";
                           el.style.backgroundColor="#ffffff";             
              el.innerHTML="this is a bit of text, and this is some more";
    function mouseOut()
        var el=document.getElementById("divName");
                       el.style.width=80+"px";
                       el.style.height= 20+"px";
                       el.style.margin="auto";
              el.innerHTML=" ";
                           el.style.backgroundColor="";             
    window.onload=mouseOut;
    window.onmouseover=mouseOver;
    window.onmouseout=mouseOut;
    //]]>
    </script>
    This works o.k. when tested inside iWeb. When the mouse is rolled over the element it is enlarged, the background colour changed and the text displayed. However, when I publish the site the background colour changes and the text is displayed BUT the size of the element remains set to the size set in the "mouseOut" function. On one occasion after publishing it did actually work, but mostly it doesn't!
    What am I doing wrong?
    Incidentally, when testing under iWeb, the mouseOut function sometimes doesn't shrink the element back to its original size. Mostly it does, but when it doesn't the background has still been made transparent and the text removed. It only appears to be the height and width functions that are failing!

    Here's how I started :
    http://www.wyodor.net/Ajax/Ajax.html
    But to avoid having to edit the page after editing the iWeb page, i figured out a way to do it with a JavaScript :
    http://www.wyodor.net/mfi/Maaskant/How_To.html
    The magic word is : unique word. Then replace it with your own code.
    Then I advanced it a bit to this :

    And here's an explanation what the HTML Snippet does :

  • IWeb won't let me publish using MobileMe

    I am logged into the MobileMe account. I have 287 days left in my account. Two weeks ago when I made changes to my website, I clicked publish to update the website. All worked. Just made changes and when I pressed Publish, I get a MobileMe advertisement indicating I need to sign in or join. When I press status, it says I'm logged in. What do I do? thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
    1 - go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
    2 - login with a bogus username and password like "test" and "test". This clears the caches.
    3 - login with your correct username and password.

  • IWeb will not let me create any pages after installing.

    I had a hard drive crash and upon reformatting and reinstalling iLife iWeb opens up, but the new page "+" is grayed out. I've tried closing and creating a new site, but I can't add any pages or see any templates. Disk Utility repair permissions was done and it came up fine so there's something wrong here and I'm not sure what.

    OK the tips in the other posting didn't apply as the website did not exist anymore and I could not create a new website at all. I tried the iPhoto tip and that didn't work so now I'm trying the manual download of the update, but iWeb has already been updated so I'm not sure that will work either.

  • How come my comments are visible in iweb but not on published site?

    I published my site (after many frustrating attempts and publish errors) and had allowed comments. I made a blog entry and published to .mac and found out from a friend that that particular entry didn't have an option to add a comment. I tried to republish many times - I don't know how it happened but the comment option showed up eventually. I had the same thing happen again today so I tried publishing again but this time I tried publishing to a folder. Not sure if this caused the problem but now one comment on the blog disappeared and the rest are only visible in iweb and not on the published site - on the published site there isn't an opportunity to add comments where they used to be. Can I get the comments back on my site?
    Thank you for any help.
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Oh, rats. Do I need to remove the folder that I published to? I'm not even sure where to find it. I have republished successfully with the comments still in iweb but they don't show up on-line. I'd really like to get them back on if possible.

  • My iDisk Storage says it's full on my Site Publishing page and won't let me publish but when I got to my account details page looking to buy more space it says I've only used 3MB out of 20GB. Why are they different? And why did it stop letting me publish?

    I've been publishing just fine for the past few days and all of the sudden, when I click 'Publish Site' now, the 'content rights' pop up shows up. But then it wants me to sign into MobileMe (to which I'm already signed in). When I click 'sign in' it takes me to System Preferences > MobileMe > Account. I click on iDisk and it says "20.4 GB total, 2.7 MB used, 20.4 GB available" 
    (I'm not sure why my GB available is still the same even though I've used 2.7 MB.... it wouldn't really matter though if I was able to publish.)
    I went back to iWeb to my Site Publishing Settings page and at the bottom there's a bar labeled 'iDisk Storage' and it's completely blue (meaning used).
    I also went to my MobileMe account to 'Summary' and under 'Mail and iDisk Storage' it says '3 MB of 20 GB used'.
    I'm assuming that it's not letting me publish because it thinks that I have run out of iDisk storage but I could be wrong. I just renewed my MobileMe account in Feb so I'm all payed up.. that shouldn't be the problem. Do you know of any other reasons why it won't let me publish?
    I feel like something is wacky with my iDisk Storage either way.
    I really hope all of this stuff makes sense. I'm fairly new to Mac and I'm still not sure about all of the lingo.
    Thank you for any advice you can give! Any suggestions will be MUCH appreciated!!

    Try the following:
    close iWeb.
    delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    reboot.
    launch iWeb and try again.
    If that doesn't help continue with:
    move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
    go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    launch iWeb and try again.

  • Iweb was not publishing changes to my personal domain name, AND now it won't let me publish at all!

    Hi, i am new to the apple community so bare with me whilst i struggle to explain...
    I recently purchased a hosting site through netregistry.net.  www.toyboxtherapies.com.au I spoke to them to allow the changes to the CNAME through their site.They did this for me. Once they did this my original 3 page site that I had published to mobileme came up. 
    When i added changes to the site, none of them were published even though iweb said they had been. I gave the site 48 hours (well, i gave them a week) to update the changes.
    I went to double check today and now iweb wont let me publish to my domain name at all, it just lists File>Set up personal domain on mobile me.
    When I log into mobile me my domain name is there. I have tried removing t and setting it up again, but nothing is happening with iweeb. Still the same problem.
    Please help! I am trying to get this business off the ground and its all very frustrating!

    This is what I see in a Lookup :
    ; <<>> DiG 9.6-ESV-R4-P3 <<>> www.toyboxtherapies.com.au cname +multiline +nocomments +nocmd +noquestion +nostats +search
    ;; global options: +cmd
    www.toyboxtherapies.com.au. 3600 IN CNAME web.me.com.
    It means that the CNAME record points to MobileMe.
    So go where you manage your domain and delete the CNAME record and change the  A-record(s) to point to your new webhost.
    It takes some time for the changes to propagate thru the internet. A minimum of 20 minutes.
    Note that when you publish to MobileMe, iWeb recieves the domainname information from the MobileMe server. Only when you publish elsewhere you have to enter the domainname. But if you do not change the settings where you host your domainname, it still directs to MMe. But that's beyond iWeb.

  • IWeb moves pictures by itself, links do not work when publishing to folder

    When I first started using iWeb i would save the page I was working on and then publish it to a folder so I could look at it in Safari and it used to work fine. Now when I do this the pictures come up and they are pushed up halfway off of the top of the page and you aren't able to scroll down all the way to see the bottom of the background picture that I have. Also, the links to the other pages of the site do not work after publishing it to a folder. If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it!

  • In iweb changes not publishing

    Since changing from mobileme server to ftp server, changes to website made in iweb do not publish?

    If you are uploading your website files using the iWeb FTP, any old, existing files should get overwritten automatically. Try switching to another browser like Google Chrome or Firefox to view your site.
    To find the file manager you need to login to your hosting account.
    You can use the freeware Cyberduck to upload files and manage files on the server but it doesn't allow you to view the files on your Mac in the same window as the ones on the server...
