IWeb not finding my MobileMe Galleries

I've just found the MobileMe Gallery widget and wanted to play around with it to see what exactly it does and what it looks like. I've made a new blank page to try it out and dragged the widget onto the page, but the little floating box says "(No albums or movies)" in the Display option, and the the box on the page says, "Upload an album or movie to MobileMe and then select it from this widget's menu."
I clicked the "Learn more" link on the floating box and read the help page. It didn't help. It just said that if there's nothing in that Display menu, that I'm either not connected to the internet or I haven't published any albums or movies. Both are wrong, though. I'm connected to the internet; I'm posting this, and have been browsing other sites as well, including my own MobileMe Gallery page...which brings me to my next point, which is that the other condition is also wrong: I do have albums published to MobileMe. Many galleries. And they're all there, they all work, iPhoto is in sync with them, etc. And it's the same MobileMe account, no doubt about that.
So why doesn't the widget in iWeb seem to know about my MobileMe galleries? Or is there some important fact or concept I'm completely overlooking?

That has been an ongoing problem here. First 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.
Next, create a new test gallery in iPhoto and publish. Then launch iWeb and try again. Some have said that the new gallery worked to jumpstart iWeb.

IWeb not updating to MobileMe

hello everyone. I have never posted to this forum before and I am relatively new to macs, so please go easy on me if I come off sounding like an idiot.
I have a webpage that I had previously published through my .mac account. After the update from .mac to MobileMe, my computer can't seem to publish my page. When I click the menu items in iWeb, there are still options that say "publish to .mac" and "publish all to .mac" and NOT "publish to MobileMe." I have checked for new updates to the iWeb software, but the software updater says everything is up to date.
Is there something I need to change within iWeb to make it communicate with MobileMe or is this a central Apple issue? I should mention that I have been able to log into MobileMe and my addresses, calendar, etc. has updated to MobileMe just fine.
I appreciate any and all suggestions. Thanks in advance for your help!!

These issues are happening for everyone it seems. The whole reason I subscribed to the .Mac (MobileMe) service was to be able to use iWeb and publish my own personal site. I'm not a big fan of the Web 2.0 (Facebook, MySpace, etc.), so using this service was a no brainer for me to keep my family and friends updated in the lives of my boys and I without all the work and drama of the other sites.
Anyhow, I know that although my pages are actually publishing, it is quite annoying to be getting the error messages. It's just a constant reminder that Apple still doesn't have things working the way that they should.
I'm sure they will have a fix soon as I'm sure that there are quite a HUGE number of customers out there who are actively seeking out other alternatives.
This situation is annoying, disappointing, and very unprofessional on Apple's part and I'm just a Ms. Everyday Person. I can only imagine these emotions are intensified for those of you who do rely on these services for professional purposes.

IWeb won't import MobileMe galleries

hi there,
apple claims that iweb can import albums that are published on the mobileme-gallery. however, I created an album via aperture and published it (worked fine), then created a website in iWeb and tried the "insert -> mobileme gallery ->" (hope that's right, using the german version)menu, but everything's blanked out: "no albums or films available"
hm?

There's a problem with Aperture galleries and iWeb. Also password protected iPhoto galleries will not display in the Widget menu. You need to publish them unprotected and then add the password.
If you want to have the gallery embedded in your web page use an HTML Snippet and iFrame code like I've done in this demo page. You can set embedded portion to go directly to the mosaic mode as I've done with it or to the normal grid mode. All it requires is using the right URL for the mode you want. The code used is also shown.

IWeb not publishing to MobileMe

Hi there
Every time I go to publish my website to MobileMe in iWeb it tells me to sign in.
I've done some research on this and the only thing I can find is messing around with the keychain.
This is what I've done
Apple Menu > MobileMe and clicked on sign out and close the window
Go to the Finder and go to > Utilities > Keychain Access
Delete the MobileMe keychain and close the window
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer:
Your User > Library > Caches > com.apple.iWeb
Your User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWeb
Your User > Library > Preferences > ByHost > com.apple.iWeb
Once the computer is restarted Go to Apple Menu > MobileMe and sign back in to your account.
All this lets me do is get to the stage asking if I have the correct permissions to publish what I'm about to publish, then I get that pop up again saying sign into mobile me or sign up for a free trial.
This is driving me mad, how can something thats advertised to work faultlessly together be so incompatible. Has anyone else had this problem?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
asking if I have the correct permissions to publish what I'm about to publish
This is referring to the copyright of any media you might be using in the site. It only happens the first time you publish (unless you don't check the checkbox to not do so or you delete the iWeb preference file).
Did you try logging out of MMe in the System Preferences, then log in with a bogus username and password and then again with the correct username and password? Give it a try if you haven't.

Iweb not finding Mobile-me albums

I have uploaded 3 albums using Aperture to my mobile-me gallery. Trouble is when i goto Insert in iweb down to Mobile-me gallery only one is there. How do i tell iweb to update itself and find the other two photo albums i have online.

Have you tried quitting and relaunching iWeb?
Make sure that your galleries are published by going to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites and looking in the _gallery folder.
You can also try quitting iWeb, deleting the preference file - Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist - and relaunching.
If that doesn't update it, do it again and restart your Mac.

Iweb not finding photos after move to external hard drive...

so I moved all my photos by copying the iphoto library to a external hard drive, deleting the old library, and telling iphoto to look to the external to find the photos and iphoto works fine.
I launched iweb, tried to go into media, and it said please launch iphoto 2 or later to show photos...I did so and nothing.
How do I point iweb in the right direction in order to work with my photos on the external hard drive?
Thanks so much,
Steve

Might be a job for symbolic links!
I thought there used to be a GUI way to create symbolic links, but maybe there never was.
Anyway, here's a "little" background.
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2001110610290643
And, if you're comfortable in the terminal, what you want to do is create a Pictures symbolic link that points to the one on your external drive (not sure what problem this might cause iPhoto... may want to point it to the symbolic link as well).
Something along the lines of
cd /Users/username/Pictures/
then
ln -s /Volumes/name-of-external/iPhoto\ Library iPhoto\ Library
or something like that.

IWeb not finding photos

One problem solved (not able to find my user Library) on the way to solving a problem with iWeb and reinsating an earlier version as I couldn't load any of the pics while editing my website.
Problem solved temporarily on reverting to an earlier version of the website via Time Machine.
But not for long as the problem reoccured as soon as I tried to open any pages to edit (other than a new one which I'd created that didn't seem to have that problem).
So....... all the pages I have created give me the same window when I open them
The following errors occured while trying to open this page
With a list below of all the jpg Missing Files and instructions below as to how to reinstall them.
I can of course keep reverting to an earlier version but that is rather tedious.
Any suggestions as to why iWeb has become so flakey gratefully received.
Thanks

IWeb not seeing .Mac web galleries

I just bought Aperture 2.0 in favor of iPhoto. I published a .Mac web gallery via Aperture 2.0 to my .Mac gallery, and fired up iWeb to reference the gallery, but Insert > .Mac Web Gallery shows "No albums or movies available".
The web gallery works just fine. I'm looking at it right now in Safari.
Anyone know why that would happen?

Please when I try to publish my site appears the follow message:
PUBLISH ERROR
Can’t create the file “13Prof._Evandro_faz_conferência_na_Universidade_Iagueiloniana,_Cracóvia,_sobre_Cul tura_de_Comunicação,_Diálogo_Multicultural_e_Não-violência:_a_Transformação_dos_ Jogos_de_Sentido_Através_da_Ascendência_Cidadã_Não-violentasobr.js.” The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges."
And when I delete this file and try to publish again the same msg appears refering another file...
My disk is nott full and I don't know what is happening.

IWeb Not Finding Internet Connection...

I'm having an issue with iWeb. Ever since I hooked my internet up to a wireless router, when I click 'Publish All to MobileMe' I get a message stating that iWeb can't connect to the internet, despite the every other program working just fine.
Another weird thing is that when I attempt to view my page which is working under the URL, www.forwardfluidmotion.com, I get an error page saying that there is no internet connection, despite being able to view every other web page on the planet.
Oh yeah, I'm in Poland. No clue if that has anything to do with it but thought I would toss it out there.
Thanks.
-Ry-

Thats what is strange... I know others can but for some reason I am unable to. iWeb still says there is no internet connection. Is there a setting I need to apply on my router to allow this kind of access?
I have never had this issue when I was in the States.
I have also found that certain pages are coming up completely jumbled, such as YouTube.
Also, if I hook my MacBook straight to the connection, I can access everything.
Any thoughts?

Hard Drived Crashed. got files back. iweb not finding them.

Hi! hope someone can help. i think it's a simple fix. My hard drive crashed last week. my computer guy convinced me to get a new computer... (which i'm loving) luckily he was able to recover all my files. When i open the new iweb on my new computer. the files for my 2 websites aren't showing up. Where do i need to move the folders with all the files for each of my 2 sites so that they'll load into the iweb on my new computer. SO that i can keep working on my site???>
FYI- i had been using the latest version of iweb '09 on my last computer too.
thank you in advance for your help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The file that you need to recover is named Domain.sites2 and, by default, resides in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. If that file was recovered from your crashed HD, put it in that iWeb folder (replacing any domain file that't in there now) and launch iWeb.
If you don't have that file you'll have to recreate the sites from scratch. Howeve Chapter 2.3 of this iWeb FAQ site has tips on using some of the published files in the reconstruction of the site.

IWeb not finding my website

I created a website in iweb 09. When I have updated to OS Lion it doesn't recognise the website in iWeb (i.e. I loggged in into iweb and nothing is there).Any suggestions pretty please?

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the applicaiton, go to your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

IWeb Not Finding My Site After Re-Install

Hi guys,
I've had to re-install OSX on my Macbook. I backed up my iWeb website before I did this and put it back where I found it.
When I open iWeb now it just prompts me to start a new site.
How do I get the old iweb site back into iweb??
Thanks
Steve

So even though I backed up all the html files, pictures etc of the site I created in iWeb, they're now useless to me because I didn't back up this one file?
There's no way to get iWeb to recognise the site it created anymore?
That seems crazy! I used iWeb to keep my life simple but I think I'm better sticking to manual webpage creation in future.

IWeb Doesn't Find MobileMe Galleries

I've built a Web site in iWeb v3.0.1 and want to post fotos and movies to it from my MobileMe Galleries. Even though I can plainly see existing MobileMe Gallery content both online and within iPhoto, when I drag the MobileMe Gallery Widget to my page, instead of giving me selections to choose, I get the Warning Triangle and the dialog, "Upload an album to movie to MobileMe and then select it from this widget's menu."
I've fooled around with this every way I can figure without success. Who has an idea how to get my Galleries recognized in iWeb?
Many thanx in advance!

I'm new to Iweb. Am also having trouble getting Iweb to find my Mobile Me galleries. I've tried the snippet below, but it still doesn't work. I put my Mobile Me ID where is says "mobilemeID:, right? Then backslash, then the gallery number. When I do this, all I get is a little flicker in the photo screen on the webpage. The Mobile Me gallery widgit actually worked up until a few days ago when the link went dead. Any suggestions? Am I using the snippet correctly? I saw one person said to "refresh" the Mobile Me galleries. How do I do that? I know the galleries are there because I can share them via email.
thanks!

IWeb and .Mac (MobileMe) Galleries

Went to add some iWeb pages with links to a few of my .Mac (or now MobileMe) Galleries. However, when I go to the "Insert" menu and select .Mac Web Gallery I'm informed that "No albums or movies are available." Now I know for certain I have 5 Web Galleries (you can even see them at gallery.me.com/noraa). Is iWeb not seeing these galleries because of the transition to MobileMe. Is anyone else having a similar problem. Thanks for all you're help!
P.S. I am properly logged into MobileMe in the System Preferences and can access my iDisk via the Finder, sync items, access my email, etc.

Sorry - did not help. The only effect was, that my website was lost and a new blank website came up.
But it is more clear that it seems to be a bug in iWeb:
Only web-albums appear in iWeb that are created and fed by iPhoto.
But mine are fed by Aperture!
There were two albums left which were connected to iPhoto. I went to mobileMe web interface and got "info" for the two albums which were still connected to iPhoto and changed this to Aperture.
The result is: no album is left to show up in iWeb as a "MobileMe web gallery" to be inserted as a widget.

IWeb 09 issue with displaying MobileMe Galleries in Weblog

Hello everyone,
I searched but did not see this exact issue. I upgraded to iLife 09 this week and my site from iWeb 08 opened successfully in iWeb 09 (although everything was Red). After adding 3 new blog entries, I decided to publish today. At first, the publish entire site errored out with the progress circle half way. I simply tried again and it finally completed the publish entire site.
I checked my website on-line on a Mac using Safari, and on Windows using I.E. and Safari, and have the same problem on all three.
All of my weblog entries that contain a MobileMe Gallery (both photos and videos) are fine in iWeb just as they were before the upgrade. However, when I view the weblog on line, the Web Galleries do not show up on any of the blog entries. There is just a blank space where they used to be.
I also checked my actual Web Gallery on both Mac and Windows and can view content on both. I repaired permissions before my publish and I have noticed one item since I upgraded to 10.5.6 this week (also). I get a permission error related to "Library/PrivateFrameworks/iLifeMediaBrowser.Framework" that does not appear to get repaired because it shows up every time I repair permissions. I also get another unrepaired permission related to "CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle" but I don't think that is related to this issue.
I have always received excellent help on this forum when encountering an issue and am hoping there is one for this issue. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Having read many of the comments here on this forum, I feel fortunate that my issues were not worse. Here is the URL of a weblog entry that should have 4 MobileMe Galleries at the bottom:
http://web.me.com/sabretado/sabretado/Weblog/Entries/2009/2/19Monterey_Bay_Aquarium_and_Fisherman’sWharf.html

Your URL contains apostrophe character, iweb javascript code had been changed in web09.
It converts special character in your URL path to UTF escape codes and lost in translation when try to use it.
You galleries are there in the widget mark files, but iweb javascript can not read its own (LOL!) widget markup URL:
http://web.me.com/sabretado/sabretado/Weblog/Entries/2009/2/../../../../Weblog/E ntries/2009/2/19Monterey_Bay_Aquarium_and_Fisherman%E2%80%99s_Wharf_files/widget2markup.html
notice the %E2%80%99, that's UTF character.
Try to remove the apostrophe character from your page name and give them feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html
