Iweb not publishing changed content

In iweb the "Visit site" button is not enabled and each time I try publishing all my content to www.preppypug.com changes made in iweb are not being published - any suggesstions?

hello i have had the same problem and it was very simple to solve it. Just don't click "Visit Site" button and click "OK" button instead. Then go to your sever and open it, it'd probably already changed your changes. that worked for me. Hope it helps.

IWeb not publishing changes

I updated some pages on my iWeb program, then clicked "Publish Site." All looked well, but when I visited my website, no changes showed up. This is a new problem; I've been using iWeb with no problems for a couple of years. Any ideas?

Have you tried using a 3rd party FTP client like YummyLIte, Transmit or Cyberduck to upload the files from the locally published site?

IWeb 3.0.4 will not publish changes.

I have not updated or made any changes to my system. I am using Leopard. Suddenly, iWeb is not working. I edit my homepage, but when I publish, the changes do not appear online. I have tried several times; I have even delted the home page and created a new one from scratch. But every time I publish, it just shows the previous version. I'm trying to change a link for one of the words on the page, but it won't work. Help!

I am having the same problem. I created a new website with iWeb and when I test the connection everything is ok. The site page listing on the upper left side of the window is red and next to the site name there is a small icon that looks similar to an RSS feed icon. When I click on PUBLISH ENTIRE SITE that option grays out but nothing happens. In the past when I have published websites next to the site name there is a circle that shows the progress of the upload and when completed the list turns blue. I have cleared cache, quit iWeb and restarted the computer. I do have multiple usernames on this computer each with a different iWeb website, but none of them are logged in.
Godaddy is the host and I called their support line and all my settings are correct. Although they tried, they could not help me beyond that. My iWeb version is 3.0.3 and I am running on OSX v 10.5.8.
I have had similar problems in the past with iWeb not publishing changes, but usually after I do the things above it will work.
Please help! Thanks.

IWeb not publishing site updates

Starting today - 5/18/09, A site I have in iWeb is no longer publishing updates. The site publishes to my mobile me account, and is redirected to my domain. This is the page in question - http://www.pitassidesigns.com/Portfolio/Web_Design.html
Besides the code iWeb puts out I have added the favicon code, and Google Analytics Code. For some reason when I made some changes to some images, they do not appear as they should. The first image should be swapped with the second, and now the second image is gone. The google code, and favicon code it still there, and I usually have to re-input it after updates. Also the page in iWeb remains red, as if it was not published. I tried to delete that page and file folder from my idisk, and iweb doesn't publish a new one as it should. I tried restarting and nothing. I tried publishing the whole site, and it remains the same.
Any help would be great, I don't feel like manually writing this page out in Dreamweaver, iWeb is so much easier.

Ignore this. As usual when I decide to post this it works on the 10th try. Not sure what happen there.

IWeb not publishing website via FTP after adding music

Hi all,
When I drag a piece of music on my iWeb website and try to publish via FTP, I get the "there was an error communicating with FTP server" message. Any ideas? Yes this is my own copyrighted music, not other people's music.

Try publishing to a local folder and launch the site in your browser by double clicking the index.html file.
This will tell you if the problem is in iWeb or publishing. See...

IWeb not publishing movies

Hey there. I'm new to these forums, so go easy on me. I searched the forums for this topic and didn't find anything related to my problem. Recently, I started using iWeb to build a site, and I had a huge problem, and that problem is that iWeb only publishes some of my movies. Now, the format I've been using is the Apple TV settings in Final Cut Express. I realize that iWeb likes small files for uploading. But, with the formats and files sizes being about the same (150-200 megs) why is this happening? Initially, what I did was delete the movies page, create a new one, and sometimes this would work, but not all the time. That, I think is what is most frustrating - The fact that there is this randomness in troubleshooting. I've brought up the overlay and examined my assets in relation to each other, but I can't see any conflict there. I really don't want to export from Final Cut or Quicktime in a web format, as there is a such a huge loss in quality, obviously. Does anyone know of a workaround to keep these movies in a higher quality and have them be compatible with iWeb. By the way, my iDisk is empty, so that's not the issue either. Thanks in advance for the help.

Welcome to the discussions. You could try importing your movies into iMovie and then publishing to MobileMe Gallery:
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/#mobileme
Then you can pseudo embed your Gallery movie into your iWeb site — here's a video tutorial briefly showing that about half-way through:
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/web/iweb08.html#tutorial=livecontent
...Visitors will have a full-screen option to view your movies and an advantage for you is that the movies are no longer in iWeb's Domain file — so site re-publishing times are shorter. There's more about MobileMe Gallery here:

IWEB not publishing - and never has

I tried to use iWEB to publish, after asing for my password (and validating) it just goes into dialog ... "loging into .Mac" ... stays there forever and refuses to go on. I was able to log-in to my iDisk and manually create a folder called WEB (none existed before), I then put a folder in it called Sites and then drug a test page to the sites forlder in another folder called test.
I can use: web.mac.com/theimage1/test/
and it works fine I see the page.
When I then try to get iWEB to publish, it just goes to the log into dialog again and nothing happens. It brings up my .Mac log-in page and I do put in my password and it indictes the password is VALID. I have even have tried with my iDisk mounted locally ... iWEB just fails to publish in the publish step.

Such as what type of Internet connection are you using (DSL, Cable, Analog Modem)? Is the connection wired (Ethernet cable) or wireless (AirPort)? In what general geographic location on the globe are you located? Does you ISP (Internet Service Provider) require you to set certain attributes such as MTU (Maximum Transmission Units) to a specific value?
Ok, I am on a cable modem from Roadrunner. It goes to a dLink router with nothing being blocked. The G5 is wired to the network (no airport), the address is manually set not DHCP (and it works on everything else thus far and has for over a year). Safari, Firefox, Fetch ftp, Guru ftp, checking & banking accounts, stock accounts, etc. I am in the Charlotte NC area.
I run my own WEB site external to .Mac and the ftp software and GoLive work fine through the system. The sytems preferneces>.Mac work fine in connecting to my iDisk. Name and password are "valid" according to the Dialog box. I don't use iSync so can't check that. But, log-in and iDisk both work.
I have let the "logging-in to .Mac" dialog run overnight with no result ... I think that's long enough! If I just mouse click on the Log-in dialog box it disappears, not even hit the cancel button.
I don't think it's a network problem. Unless iWEB uses something totally outside the ordinary. All other communications even multi-person iChat Video works well.

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 NOT showing changes after publishing

I had 2 sites I created with iweb. I made some changes on one, but not only did it not show any changes after I published it but said there was an error. I could access the site when I entered my basic domain name, but not through iweb. I deleted BOTH sites and started from scratch. Saved my work and tried publishing at least 5 different times. It STILL shows my DELETED sites (which I can't even see on my computer because I DELETED THEM!). MobileMe account is current. Domain name current.
Anyone else having these issues? ANy idea what to do?
Thanks

But did you delete your site folder from MobileMe too? It's all very well deleting your site from iWeb, but if you really want to delete it and start again, you also need to delete your site folder and index file from MobileMe. Log into MobileMe and then go to your iDisk and delete the files from there too and then re-publish from iWeb and your new pages should show.

IWeb not saving changes when published to folder

Hello,
I'm very new to iWeb and to the whole web-design in general. My problem is when working in iWeb, and I save (or publish, if it isn't the same) to a folder, it goes fine the first time. But when I republish (I use republish in order to save my project) the changes I've just made i'snt there. When I go to the folder to check my website from the, I can't se changes there. That's very anoying (or how it's spelled )
Here's what I find odd:
ONLY when I restart my computer, the changes are there, and I can see them.
Why is that, and what do I do?
Kind regrds

This may be too late to help you, I've just started to work with iWeb myself and discovered that if you go to the File Menu, you should see the option "Publish Site Changes", Click that and it will save the changes.
I've also noticed that the pages in the list on the left are 'red' if you've made changes to them and haven't published the changes, and blue when you have published.
(I'm also publishing to a folder for now)

Iweb not updating changes since moved to godaddy

Today I switched from mobileme to godaddy and everything worked fine. Then I cancelled the mobileme account. Now when I make changes in iweb and save to a folder, the changes are not being saved in the folder. (I'm trying to change my contact info & delete my email address). The edited page appears changed in iweb, but when I look in the folder it created, the email address is still there. This is the process I'm using:
1. Make changes in iweb
2. Save changes
3. publish to folder in iweb (on desktop)
4. Using Fetch to upload to godaddy server.
I get no error messages with iweb, Fetch or Godaddy. (In iweb site inspector, I changed site name to http://www.babysmithsite.com
url contact page: http://www.babysmithsite.com/Contact.html
Any ideas?

Sorry I wasnt clear about this. What I was trying to accomplish was to develop a site that only family members could access (with user name and password) and that the bots couldnt sniff my email address.
After everything was working on godaddy, I decided to change the email address on the site from my PERSONAL email account to a new one I got from godaddy.([email protected])
1. Deleted the old email address from iweb. Added the new one ([email protected])
2. Made new folder (site2) and uploaded that via Fetch.
That's when the problems started. The new email address didnt appear on the site. After 4-5 hours, I decided to delete all email addresses from site for security reasons (bots). Finally at 11 pm last nite, I called godaddy and the new page (suddenly) reads correctly with just a phone number and not any email addresses. So now the bots cant sniff my site, but it's still not private. Godaddy says I cant do that with them. Aargh! Mobile me was so much easier but it's 3X more expensive and I only need it for this little family website. Seems like switching wasnt such a good idea. Thanks to everyone for all the help.

IWeb not publishing Text

Just finished adding, changing, saving, then publishing me iWeb page. It has been fine until now. Currently I am looking at partially complete pages online. Photo's seem to have downloaded but Text is missing.....all text .....on every page.
Everything looks fine on the backend....it is just not showing on the frontend. Is Apple doing something that might be causing interference with web pages?
Any ideas on what the problem might be?

Yep...sorry!

IWeb not publishing update- just asking to log into facebook and freezing... Help, please!

When I "Publish site changes" on iweb, a facebook login pops up, and regardless of whether I sign in or not, nothing happens and iWeb freezes. the updates never publish, and I don't have the option to try it again. If I quit (sometimes have to force quit) iweb, it says "quitting while your site is publishing can cause problems", but I have left it open for hours, and nothing ever happens.
Please help!

Heidi,
Go ahead and force-quite iWeb, it shouldn't hurt the website file. However, just to be safe, open ~User/Library/Application Support/iWeb, and copy (not move) the Domain.sites2 file in there to your home folder before force-quitting.
For some reason, the "Update my Facebook" feature in iWeb causes it to freeze. To fix this, simply untic the Facebook box in the website publishing settings page. Then it will publish correctly.

IWeb not uploading audio content

Hi folks
I've a problem with audio content on my iWeb site. I've created it as a podcast in iWeb and before I upload seem to work fine, including playing the mp3 files I've dropped into it. But when I upload it to .mac the audio content does not seem to appear and I can't figure any way to play it. Hmm, am I doing something stupid?
Thanks for your patience.

My father was having the same problem, then I realized, when I looked at my website, I too was having the same problem. I'm guessing there was a glitch in the last update that needs to be resolved. Call Apple .Mac support or regular support. They need to be made aware of the problem by as many people as possible so they can know this is happening for many of us. The problem is that iWeb is (for some reaons or another) changing the extention of the audio poscast from .mp4 to .mov. Because of the scripts that are running, and the conficint extentions, the podcasts don't work. If, however, you view the RSS feed of your podcast, the audio should load just fine. This is weird. Apple, please help!!!

Site not publishing changes

HI. I am using dreamhost, (but changing to godaddy). All of my changes show up on my iweb on my computer, but they do not upload.

Where are you publishing your site to - MobileMe or an external host?
If an external host, how are you uploading - iWeb built in ftp or Cyberduck or Transmit?
If you are using iWeb built in ftp, then perhaps try using Cyberduck to upload instead after publishing to a local folder from iWeb. It could be that not all the changed folders are being uploaded.
