IWeb is unreliably saving (well, not saving) my work

Hello,
I am becoming severly frustrated with iWeb. It has started not saving my work correctly.
I can make changes to my site (which is currently unpublished) and click save. When I reopen iWeb, I am often finding that is hasn't saved at all, or might have saved just some of my progress.
I am running v3.0.4 so there is no update I can try. I have also restarted the Macbook Pro (running Snow Leopard) several times but this problem persists and it's really halting my progress, as I keep having to redo sections of my site.
Can anyone offer any help please? Has anybody else found this problem?
Many thanks
Colin

Hi Roddy,
Thanks very much for that link. I wont click that this has solved my problem just yet, as I want to give it a good test first, but first indications are that it seems to have resolved my issue.
If I don't lose any more work in the next day or two then I will get you your points!
Cheers
Colin

IPhoto '11 Saved Slideshow not saving settings for individual slides

Please, need help in iPhoto '11 with Saved Slideshows. I will try rephrasing my question as I received no answers when I posted yesterday. I create my Saved Slideshow by choosing File>New>Slideshow. It then shows up at the bottom of my Source List under Slideshows. I am trying to have individual settings for each slide: timing, transition, and Ken Burns effect. I check each box in the "This Slide" menu and type in what I want. When I exit the Saved Slideshow the first two settings are saved and as I left them, but the KB box is no longer checked. It works fine when I click "Preview." I have carefully read all the forum discussions dating back to last fall and see that I am not the only one with the problem. Like others I noticed that the KB effect won't "stick" only on certain slides, mostly Landscape images. KB settings for Portrait images seem to "hold." I'm not a novice in creating Saved Slideshows. I've done this in iPhoto '08 with no problem at all. I reported this to Apple as a possible bug. I feel like there is now no way I can make the slideshow I want to burn to a DVD to share with family and view on a TV. As far as I can tell you can't do KB effects for individual slides in the latest version of iDVD without having made a Saved Slideshow in iPhoto first. Can anyone help me? I am so frustrated.

I am 99% sure that this has something to do with how NEF files work. If I understand them correctly, the original raw data is stored in one portion of the file and then versions of the file are stored within it (these are the 'versions' that you can make in NX2). The versions are just whatever mathematical transformations are applied to the raw data to get the version of the image that you want to see. It is a brilliant way to store information and many versions of photos (different sizes of crops, b/w, colour, sepia, etc...) in their highest possible resolution without taking up an inordinate amount of disk space. The raw data are huge, but each version only adds a tiny bit to the size.
The problem with iPhoto is that it can only see the raw data - not the metadata containing all of the transformations to get the edited version of the photo. This means that if you load the photos into the iphoto library as nef files and then edit them with an external editor (i.e. NX2), the files will be edited, and when you open them again in NX2 from iPhoto, then you'll see the edits, but the edited version will not be visible in iPhoto. If you work with NX2 and iPhoto (as I do), you basically need to save your edited versions of files as .jpg or .tiff and then re-import them into iPhoto. It is a bit of a pain, but I am sure that it could be fixed in a future version of iPhoto.
Cheers.

IBook Energy Saving settings not Saved.

I have repeatedly tried to set my iBook Dispay to not go to Sleep when watching streaming video while plugged in to the mains supply but the screen goes dark every so often. It is maddening when watching programmes.
I have strict Energy Saving settings for Battery, but don't watch long videos when away form home.
Any tips about this?

I usually have the screen dimmed when using the battery as I am just doing text-based tasks like reading email so I don't mind, and expect energy saving behaviour. It is when using iPlayer at home when plugged in to the mains electricity supply; it is maddening at the crux of a drama, or the punchline of a joke.
I have saved two sets of settings, one for each situation, but the setting for the power adaptor should not allow the screen dimming.

Table maintenance generator is not saving entries.

when TM is single step , it's show entries saved but not saving in data.
I tried to delete and regenerate table maintenance but still not working .
Please guide me to ractify this.
Thanks in advance,
Ashish Gautam

Hello Friend,
Check with th etechnical settings of the ztable:
see if your buffereing is allowed, and log data chnages is checked.
If so :
Then select buffereing is not allowed and uncheck the Log Data Changes:
Also go to TMG:
Check if standard recording routine is selected, then select the no, or user recording routine.
After making these changes, delete the TMG and create a new one once again. You can check it will work fine now.
Thanks and regards,
Uttam Agrawal

Passwords not saved

When I enter a user name and password, Safari usually asks if I want to remember it, or gives me the option "Never for this site." How do I know what it is set to do? If I click never, do I just never ever have the option to save a password again? How do I check if this site isn't saving my password just because I accidentally told it not to?
I'm suspicious because this site doesn't save my info and it's REALLY annoying. I've looked at the source and there are no autocomplete=off tags or anything, so it should be saving my info.
I think maybe it isn't being saved just because it isn't a username and password (it's a first name/last name and password). ...but shouldn't it be able to save the form field data somehow?
GRRRAWRRR!! I'm so frustrated. There must be SOME way to make Safari save my information!
...so yeah, how do I check if it's set to try and remember passwords, or if it's just "never for this site" going to remember. ...and how do I reverse that setting?
ALSO.... changing browsers is out of the question. ;D

I've had the same problem and it has everything to do with Code Signing: the way Mac OS X checks if applications can have access to secret data (in Keychain Access). Safari uses this too and if Code Signing is somehow broken; strange things happen with saving or not saving passwords.
You can check Code Signing for Safari in Terminal:
codesign --verify --verbose /Applications/Safari.app
...If the result is different from:
/Applications/Safari.app: valid on disk
/Applications/Safari.app: satisfies its Designated Requirement
...then something is wrong.
There are complex ways to change the Safari code signing, so just take the easy way: just put your Safari application in the trash and copy the complete (working) Safari application from another Mac (with the same version number) to yours (or from a Time Capsule version of Safari from the period everything was nice and easy).
After starting the copied version of Safari, Keychain Access will ask you for permission. Choose "always" and you're problem is fixed!
It did the trick for me after Googling and troubleshooting for hours...

Changes are not saved

After making changes to my iWeb site, I have re-published as well as saved all to .mac. However, the changes are not saved. How can I save the changes?

KHCrowley,
Welcome to Apple's discussions.
Try clearing your browser cache, and then take another look. The changes are most likely there.

Sent items not saved in personal sent items when shared mailbox is open in outlook

hi,
user is using exchange 2010 and the shared mailboxes are in exchange 2003. when user send an email as send as to the shared mailbox the sent items is not saved in her personal sent items. she can look up the sent items on her shared mailboxes sent items.
I tried recreating her profile when the shared mailboxes are not added in the outlook, personal sent items is okay but when the shared mailboxes is added , sent items doesn't go to her personal sent items. Please help. Is it by design?

Hi,
Since Exchange 2003 server is out of support, I still suggest migrating to Exchange 2010 server.
How about this behavior on OWA, if everything going well as expected, it should be an issue on the Outlook client side.
Please try to run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins.
Thanks

Hyperlinks not saving

Hi,
I'm currently rebuilding my website with lots of hyperlinks taking you to pages that don't appear on the nav bar. All was fine in the beginning, but after putting 10+ links on the same page, all going to different places I find that they are not saving, and rather than going to the page I want them to, they are all going to a pdf file (this may have been the original button that I copied and pasted, but then I changed the details in the hyperlink box so that it would take you to the various pages.)
It doesn't matter how many times I click save, or publish between each link or doo them all in one go, whenever I go back to the button has returned to linking to the pdf file.
HELP! I feel like I am wasting my life away here, and iWeb is supposed to SAVE me time!

I have found that it works much better, for some reason, to make links on a separate
page and then copy and paste. The whole link process in iweb can drive you nuts, especially if you are changing fonts and formatting at the same time. It's very sensitive to the order in which you do things I think.

"Document Not Saved" Microsoft Excel 2010 SP1

We have a remote office which has a 2mb WAN link, The users in the remote office have a variety of Office installs from 2003 to 2010 SP1.
When attempting to open an excel file over the WAN link (The file is on our main shared drive in Sydney) they can open and edit the document however when it comes to saving they receive "Document not saved" and the original document is gone and a .tmp file
remains where the original file was on the network drive/shared folder.
If they then hit save a second time it saves correctly and the document is in the correct .xls format.
The excel files do have some funky tables etc in them and are a few mb's in size, however we have the same issue with a new excel document with only one word written in it.
Does anyone know what would be causing this issue?
We have tried added NetworkResiliency and PivotTableNetworkResiliency as per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291204.
We have tried removing certain hot fixes from Microsoft as mentioned in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/983458.
We added the share to be a trusted site.
There are no errors in Event Viewer.
I have found another few threads on similar issues with no fix:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/office2010/thread/f559b061-b98f-4b33-ab8a-d1a41d2e8cb8/
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/officeappcompat/thread/4af962a0-d883-4e82-8995-7eb766d6c720
We do have a RiverBed at the remote office and one at the site in Sydney which is for network optimization. On the RiverBed with have all CIFS ports added and QoS marking done so it should be optimized.
Any assistance with how to fix this annoying issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

We're having the same exact issue in our office where we just installed a new Riverbed Steelhead as well... only happening in that office as well...User opens a document on a network share that the rest of the company works from day to day, they save 10
or 20 minutes later and BAM... "There has been a network or file permissions error. The network connection may be lost", then a non-hidden *.tmp file is then created in the same network directory as the actual file and the original file doesn't get
written to, you click [OK] on the error and then try to save again and it magically works...and you're left with a messy TMP file as well in the directory now. I doubt it's related to antivirus, definitely not firewall, reinstalling/repairing office and tweaking
settings doesn't help, I agree it has nothing to do with locking files or read-only files as they're plain old word docs and excel files...MAYBE it has to do with the Riverbed WANOP appliance but either way... don't you love how this thread just randomly died
with no solutions? :'( Thanks Micro$oft ;)
{Edit} Oh! And one last thing...this MIGHT help steer someone in the right direction in the future... there could be a problem related to your network filer such as a NetApp appliance, EMC, Netgear etc where there is an SMB version mis-match or a bug of some
kind requiring you to apply a patch your storage device in order to fix this type of issue.

Hello,
I just update my Yosemite to 10.10.3.
After some problems with Mail, I've been forced to delete container files and enveloppe index file, all is better except that now mail doesn't saved preferences anymore..
Also, the windows positions are not saved as well...
Last information: ON my preferences folder, I got only com.apple.mail-shared.plist file, but no com.apple.mail.plist file... Doesn't now if it's normal or not..
Thanks for your help

But should I see a com.apple.mail.plist file ?
No, not in Yosemite.
Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore is not, in itself, a solution.
First, empty the Trash, if possible.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 $ 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

Hi. I just got the iPhone 6, plugged into itunes and made the mistake of putting an OLD back up on my new phone resulting in losing all contacts after 2013. They are not saved on the cloud. Is there any way to go back to before I screwed up?

Hi. I just got the iPhone 6, plugged into itunes and made the mistake of putting an OLD back up on my new phone resulting in losing all contacts after 2013. They are not saved on the cloud. Is there any way to go back to before I screwed up?

If you have performed a sync with the device since you restored this old backup, then don't bother looking for another backup. iTunes writes over the last backup each time you sync. If you were handling contacts in iCloud, you would find them by logging into iCloud. Or you can check settings and iCloud and see if the button it on for Contacts. Otherwise it might have been on the computer, if you had a program that syncs with iTunes and handles contacts, depending on the computer system you use. If Windows, it would be Windows Contacts or Outlook. If a Mac, there is a Mac Address book as well.
