Iweb not loading properly to server?

Hi I have used Dreamweaver in the past but decided to try iweb this time. I built a site www.southernlakestravel in iweb and have both published it to a local folder for safe-keeping and also to my webserver (2day.com) . I have also tried to ftp the site in dreamweaver. My problem is that all the fites load onto the server (whether published directly from iweb or via dreamweaver ftp) BUT I can almost never get the navigation bar to show up - just appears as a little dot on the top left side. I also note a lot of the images are not loading properly. If I resize them in photoshop to fit then it seems to be more secure. When I look at my files serverside and remoteside I have the folder name, the index file then the subfolder name with all the page files and a second index file and the script files. I notice that the script files include a js navigation menu. Is there a problem with the heirarchy of these files and whether the main index page can "pull these". Should the server be looking to document or root folder. I am at my wits end to know what to do. I can click on links between pages (click on activities in the above page and then go to some of the links shown), but basically the pages load without the iweb style navigation menu showing up at all and with many of the photos only half showing. Also, why does it become southernlakestravel/southernlakestravel?
I am about to give up on iweb.
Meg.

You have the double domain name because the second one is your site name - you gave your site this name in iWeb and you can change it to something shorter and more suitable and then this won't happen.
As you have seen, it is the way that iWeb works - when you publish to a local folder, iWeb produces a site folder with a separate index.html file - there is another index.html file inside the site folder itself so what you need to do is upload the site folder to the root folder and then you upload hte separate index file that will sit outside the site folder and point in towards it.
The iWeb page template navigation menu is javascript based and sometimes if there is a black dot, this means that all the files are not being uploaded to the server correctly.
It would suggest that you publish your site to a local folder and then view your site by opening the html pages and seeing if there is a problem there before you upload your site.
i would then suggest that you then use something other than Dreamweaver to upload your site - download Cyberduck for free - this is a dedicated ftp programme and may be better than Dreamweaver for uploading. With Cyberduck, you can see exactly where everything is being uploaded to.
In the end, if you really want to eliminate your site name, then you can - you just need to upload the contents and the contents only of your site folder. This means that you will not need the extra index file - simply select all the contents of your site folder and upload these with the index file that is in there already. If you do this your url will just be http://www.domain.com/page name.html without the site name at all.

Podcast in iWeb not loading

I use iWeb to generate a podcast, when I load it and then go out to the published site (no matter what browser I use) all I get is the Quicktime logo and a question mark over it.
Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Clear your browser's cache and reload the page. See if that will fix your problem.

IWeb page does not load photos when published on Firefox?

Hello,
I just started using iWeb, and created a webpage to share photos with my friends and family. Today when I updated (published) some new photos there is a problem with the website displaying on Firefox (the photos do not load and the links are not active).
Seems to work fine on Safari, but I think Firefox is the most common browser these days...
Anyone else experienced this problem?
thanks
Greg

Greg:
The FF3 problem was corrected with the advent of the 2.0.4 iWeb update. If you haven't updated to that version so do and then do a Publish All to MobileMe. If you are running 2.0.4 do a Publish All to MobileMe and try Firefox again. Be sure to clear the cache also.

IWeb crashed - all 'disappeared' and would not load.

iWeb crashed - everything 'disappeared' and would not load. I purchased 09, and have the files for the original iWeb site (which is still active) because I published them to a domain. What is the best/easiest way for me to put all the pages back into iWeb on my laptop so that I can update them. Because iWeb is so easy and I'm stumped when anything starts HTML-ing me!

What is the best/easiest way for me to put all the pages back into iWeb on my laptop so that I can update them
There is no best or easy way to get webpages back into iWeb because you cannot import webpages.
Copy/paste the text and objects from your existing pages is the only way.
But just to be sure, check the domain file in this folder:
~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
(where ~ is our Home directory) and see if it still there. Double click the file to open it in iWeb.
If it fails, then you're out of luck.

IWeb Masked images not loading in Safari

When I apply a mask to images in iWeb they will not load properly in Safari. They load fine in FireFox. When the mask is removed the images will load in Safari, re-apply the mask and no go.
Have done the usual reset safari, etc.
Any suggestions?

Well, I narrowed it down a bit more. Its not the mask thats causing the issue, its the mirror or drop shaddow. With those two affects applied the pictures will not load in Safari. Remove them, and they load fine.
Would love a fix for this, as those affects really dress things up, but its not a deal breaker.
Thanks to those that offered suggestions.

IWeb - Do not load the templeates to edit

Help
My iLife09 iWeb 3.0 does not load templeates to edit.
I see templeate when I click view site.
I'm using Mac OSX 10.5.6.
I choose the templeate double-clicking. There appears to edit the templeate, everything is white.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Go to your your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and move the Domain.sites2 file to the desktop. Launch iWeb, create a new site (if you can) and see if you have any better success. If so then your original domain file is corrupt. If not then a reinstall of iWeb seems indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iWeb" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder. Next, install iWeb from the disk it came on, apply the latest updaters, reboot, launch iWeb and try again.

IWeb RSS feed not loading in Safari

IWeb 09 site RSS Widgets are not loading in Safari. http://macroads.com Worked fine up until this morning.

Several iWeb 09 site owners in a discussion on an iWeb topic reported an RSS Widget feed bug via Safari's bug reporting link under the Safari menu. Less than an hour later, the site feeds came back online. Apple Rocks!

IWeb pages do not load on Vista

I have my site www.izenstein.com which are not loading for a friend with Internet Explorer. The site is not even showing up. I am using my original domain name.
Any ideas or others having this problem.

It appears MSIE is falling behind by the minute.
Yesterday I had a chance to look at my pages on a XP machine with MSIE 7.0.
MSIE doesn't even make an effort to understand what a webpage is. Custom webpages with the minumum of code couldn't be displayed properly.
I haven't a business, so I can't be bothered with MSIE problems. If you depend om Windows users as clients, then keep your website as simple as possible.
Perhaps a JavaScript to determine the browser and then redirect them to a MSIE only page would do:
+var sBrowserDetect = navigator.appVersion;+
+var bDetectMSIE = (sBrowserDetect.indexOf("MSIE") >= 0);+
+if ( bDetectMSIE )+
parent.window.location='http://www.apple.com/safari/';
Add your own URL.

IWeb 09 not loading on Mac Pro

The problem is intermittent. Sometime I click on iWeb and it only load a shell no data or tools. So I can't update or create anything new. The next time I start the computer after it being shut off iWeb will load just fine.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It sounds like it might be the domain file. Are there any reports in the Console about iWeb that might give some idea?
You can try these fixes:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
3 - reboot.
4 - launch iWeb and see if the domain file will open OK all the time.
If that doesn't help continue:
5 - move the domain file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
6 - launch iWeb, create a new test site and save.
7 - go to the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
8 - move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
9 - launch iWeb and try again.

How can I burn a copy of my project to a DVD . I do not have IDVD because I have the Lion os. I did purchase Wondershare for burning but it will not load the iMovie events or projects

How can I burn a copy of my project to a DVD . I do not have IDVD because I have the Lion OS. I did purchase Wondershare for burning but it will not load the iMovie events or projects

There is no proper substitute for iDVD.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
“when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
“You can still use it one all of your Macs. If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
“It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date. I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected. For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

TS2167 iweb not publishing

Please can someone help with some useful advice. I have just created a website for my new company, published to FTP server (not mobileme) and the first page is uploaded no problem (www.peakskiholidays.com) but if you click the link on any of the other pages these do not load and state and error. I am pulling my hair out now and I know some will come back to me saying what do you expect from iweb but I wanted to be in control of my own website and found it so easy to use. I haven't gone made with pages and links etc in the website and I have used this before with my previous website (www.peaktherapies.co.uk) and had no issues at all.
If any one can suggest why this doesn't work and how I can get the whole thing uploaded it would be much appreciated.
many thanks
Peakskiholidays

ok I know I am going to come across really dumb here but....
Ok, thanks for the help. However, the file you indicate is missing - what is this where should it go and what do I do with it.
I have no idea why the domain name is also my site name these were the details given by my host people, although they did say they would sort it out to look better in the browser etc.
Not sure what you mean about making something an image if it's a text? I have chosen the text 'cracked' so assuming everywhere I have used this (alot) I should split the words individually?
I have gone through all the links at the bottom of my page and they all go to where I want them to go within the website design on iweb, I've tested all ?
Sorry if I am being a little dumb here but the program was easy to use without further IT knowledge, i really appreciate your feedback as I am very keen to get my site live asap but please could you expand on your feedback so I can put these wrongs right.
many thanks

Instruments in Logic Pro 9 Library will not load: I try to add a new instrument on a project and get a "cannot be found" error.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
As a faculty member in the School of Music, I have just acquired a copy of Logic Pro 9.1.8 through my University. The programs and instrument packs were installed by our IT department and show as being fully installed on Logic Pro when I search for additional content through the Logic Pro tab at the top of the screen. The window shows that all 6 Jam Packs, Logic Pro & Main Stage Content (Essential and Additional) GarageBand content, and Surround content is installed. However when I try and add a new instrument on a project, most of these instruments cannot be found. I get the following error:
Audio file “KB_pizz_f_C1.wav” not found!
I then press the Continue Tab, and it looks for the instruments in an empty file that Logic creates in the Music section of the hard drive. I have investigated the sounds by going through the MAC Hard Drive>Library>Application Support>Logic>Sampler Instruments folder, and tried to copy the sounds into the Music>Logic folder created by the program. That does not work either. Even attempting to go into these Logic Pro instrument files one at a time has proved fruitless. I am told that the file cannot be opened.
The files appear to be installed, but cannot be accessed or opened. They all have that translucent grey appearance when I attempt to click on the icon. This is true for about 80% of the files in the instrumental library. Whenever I create an instrument, the EVP88 Electric Piano is installed by default. There are a few instruments that I can successfully replace this default instrument with, but a majority of the instrumental library remains unavailable. Can anyone help?

Kurt:
You might try a different way of adding the video files to the web page. This demo page has one where the file does not load until the play button is selected: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. This demo page has 9 short videos on it using that method: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes. Just add a screenshot of one of the movie frames or any photo you want and add the Play button on or below it.
You manually upload the movie file to your server so iWeb is not involved in the uploading the file at any time.
Similarly this demo page, QT movies via iFrame, has a method that has you manually uploading the file to the server and linking to it via iFrame code. That page also has other similar methods.
Another method is demonstrated in Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site on his Video page. Here you also upload manually.

Embedded m4v, avi and mov did not load, when published to server

Hi there,
today I created a new webpage, for the first time with iWeb. It work perfect on my mac including embedded movies. When I published it to my server, all pages loaded fine, but the movies did not. They started a bit and then everything ended in endless loading sessions. With ongoing "reloading" with the browser, it did improve, but did not work in one go.
So I had to upload it to youtube, and embedded it via the youtube widget. This is not the way I wanted it, but I found now solution, why it did not load?
Any idea what the reason is? Possibly wrong css lines?
Thanks for your help guys.
Karl

What's the URL of your site? Visit your site in Safari, use the Window->Activity option and see what files for your site are not getting uploaded.
There are ways to embed a movie other than dragging it onto the iWeb page. This method, Opening Item in New Specially Sized Window, has you uploading the file just once manually to your server and linking to it there. It does not load with the page but only after the Play button is selected.
There is another way, Adding QT Movies via the Export for Web Option from QT Player, which is more difficult but gives a different appearance.
What ftp client do you use?

My photo albums do not load in Internet Explorer

Is there many compatibility issues between Explorer (IE) and iWeb? The photo albums I created in iWeb'09 do not load in IE but it worked fine in Safari and Firefox. How do I resolve this issue? Any clue would be most appreciated.
Karim

What version of IE are you using to view the site? If it's the last Mac version then dump it as it's so old and obsolete it is less than worthless. If you're using a PC with IE then make sure you've got the latest version. See Roddy's site on making iWeb sites as compatible with IE as possible: http://www.iwebformusicians.com/WebMusic/iWebandInternetExplorer.html
