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 not updating site changes, even overnight!

    Hi iWeb-experts,
    Having problems with iWeb and have waded through the site and other forums and yet to find a solution.
    Site is marccheckley.com. I successfully moved the site before MobileMe closed shop and made updates to the site a few months back.
    Now I'm trying to upload further changes but iWeb has stopped functioning. I get no status that the site is being changed, as it was previously. And I know this has not happened as I have it linked to my Facebook and no "updated website" has popped up on my Wall.
    I even left it overnight to update website changes and still nothing. Even clearing brower's cache etc. I tested the FTP connection all good and nothing been changed since my last updates a while back.
    All 'pages' of site remain red, not updated in iWeb.
    Really not sure what's happened. Nothing but probs since the closure of MobileMe, my podcast is still on hiatus due to linking problems, now website issues with iWeb.
    Anyone have an idea and fix?
    Always appreciated.

    If you are using the iWeb FTP to upload make sure the box next to "Update my Facebook profile when I publish this site" is unchecked. Checking this box prevents the FTP from working.
    Also make sure you have no bad file names with spaces or special characters - particularly image files. This will halt the upload process.

  • IWeb not updating web site.

    iWeb started out working okay. I kept a blog and updated it. Then I went on a trip. Even though I had wireless internet the whole time, updating kept failing. No error message, but the update clock would stop after being about one-quarter filled. When I came home, there was no difference.
    Although this started months ago (before the whole .Mac to MobileMe changeover), I do believe my recent inability to update my web site is related to it. The reason is that although I can access the last updated version of my web site at "web.me.com/myaccountname", when I go to my current iDisk and open the "sites" folder, it's empty!
    Is it possible that my account has not yet been changed over to MobileMe yet? I have already installed all OS updates, including the MobileMe update. My account logs in fine.
    Any ideas?????

    Hey maybe you need to replace only the page that was updated, do not change all the published site, try I just did it and it work I have change a page and a file to be downloaded from the web site, now I can see the changes live on the web. this is what I wrote to others.
    Hey I have found not a solution but a way to publish without iWeb, Just did it and I have seen the changes on the web site. If you guys want to try:
    I have published my updated web site to a folder on my desktop. then open iDisk from the web (where my web sites files are stored for everyone else to see) then open both windows side by side and only replace the files of the updated pages from the desktop folder to the iDisk folder, there is always a file and a folder with the same name. I just replace them, I then checked on the web and Woalah! changes were made. Well... it did work for now without iWeb, not sure if is the right thing to do but if you are brave enough to follow this go ahead and go to bed as I will until the bug is fixed (hopefully tomorrow) then we can go back to normal. Hope is clear and it help! Rog

  • IWeb not updating photos

    When I update photos on iWeb (I have a Photos page with 9 albums), sometimes the published website "ignores" the updates.  Although I save and update a new photo, it just doesn't appear on the website.  This doesn't happen every time, or with every album.  And sometimes even if I rearrange the albums, to try to give iWeb an extra "push", it doesn't see that change either.  Forced updating of the entire website doesn't fix the problem.  Any ideas?  Updates work fine on other pages, and on some photo albums.  I'm running iWeb 3.0.4 on Lion, and the website is not hosted on mobileme.  The url is http://www.hsvbrushstrokes.com/HSVBS/Home.html

    First you need to make sure you are emptying the browser cache before visiting the published site.
    To make sure that iWeb is actually adding the images, publish you site to a local folder...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWebMusicWebsite/MusicWebsiteBuilding.html
    ... and launch it in the browser by double clicking the index.html file. Are the photos present in this version of your site?

  • Iweb not updating pdf links

    I am using iWeb 3.0.2 and have made a site with many pages and links. Many of the links are to pdf pages. I have recently changed many of the pdf files - but kept the names the same. After publishing the updated site the pdf links still open the old versions of the pdf files. Other links just don't work at all - as if they are not links.
    I have tested the site in Safari - after emptying the cache and Firefox.
    Any ideas? Help is needed soon. This site is for my department and it is supposed to go on line before the holidays.
    The site can be looked at here: http://web.me.com/wijtman/VAS/Home.html

    How did you add the links to the pdf files to the page? Did you use the Inspector/Link/Hyperlink pane and use the link to file option? If so I've found that that often does not update as you're experiencing.
    I suggest you do the following:
    1 - Create a folder titled pdfs and put it in your iDisk/Web/Sites folder.
    2 - place your pdf files in that folder.
    3 - link to the files as An External Page
    Click to view full size
    with the following URL:
    http://web.me.com/wijtman/pdfs/file_name.pdf
    Now when you want to make a change to a pdf file just upload the new file to the pdfs folder on your iDisk replacing the old file. There is no change required to the web page using iWeb.

  • IWeb not updating published status within application

    I'm having a strange iWeb problem that just started up within the last day or so. When I publish any of the sites within my domain (I have seven separate "sites" that are all part of the same domain file) the updates get published to my site, but the icons in iWeb do not change color back to blue. This happens whether I choose to publish changes or publish all.
    Another symptom of this problem is that my published site (http://www.adamreisinger.com) does not reflect the changes online until about five minutes after iWeb gives me the dialog box that my site has been successfully updated.
    The only thing I've changed on my system recently is applying the last round of software updates, including the iLife update. I've tried trashing the application preferences and the iWeb cache and re-publishing, as well as logging out and logging back into MobileMe within System Preferences.
    Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the steps you outlined, and unfortunately the problem persists. Also, because the files were deleted from the Web folder the iDisk, iWeb is now under the impression that EVERY page has been modified, which has actually increased my publishing time.
    Some other troubleshooting steps I've taken to try and narrow down this problem:
    - I've tried publishing the domain from a newly created user account on the same computer (MBP running 10.6.2 and all latest updates applied)
    - I've tried copying the domain file to a different computer (one that has not had the latest iLife support update applied) and publishing from there
    - I've tried publishing to a different MobileMe account (a test account set up by Apple)
    - I deleted an entire site from the source list in iWeb (one that, fortunately, was not needed)
    After all these steps -- tried individually -- the issue persists.

  • 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 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 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 updating blog site

    I am trying to update my blog but even tho iWeb on my computer shows the change, the archive on the web site also shows the change, the home page does not. Does anyone have any ideas for why this doesn't work? My blog page is:
    http://web.mac.com/glennsan/iWeb/San%20Diego%20Petersons/Blog/Blog.html
    if you want to take a look at it and see exactly what I am talking about.

    Hi,
    I see it all fine. You must have fixed it or....
    Maybe what you had was a cache problem. Since your pages weren't cached in my browser I saw it fine. But the old pages were most likely cached in your browser. After you update....clear the cache in Safari. Another method is to add a question mark at the end of the url address. That forces it to clear. Also over time it will natually update......so after awhile you will see the changes w/o clearing the cache.

  • Iweb not updating

    I made a web page on iWeb and all was fine. I then re named the page and now every time I try to update the page I get an error message stating that I have a bad network connection, when I know it is fine. Sometimes I get the error message stating that there was a problem finding my iDisk quota. Again I know ther is plenty of room on my disk.
    Thanks for any help.

    Thousands of people are having the same problem. My topic was deleted by Apple, I'm sure yours will be too. They say they're working on it.
    People have posted some ways around the problems - but honestly - should we need "ways around"?

  • ICal not updating edited entries

    Hello:
    Not sure if this is an iCal issue or a MobileMe/sync issue, but the issue is affecting iCal directly. If from my iMac, I make a new entry in iCal all my devices (i.e. MobileMe, iPhone, and iPad) are updated properly. But if I edit an entry, such as changing date, time, etc..., the change is not updated in MobileMe or my devices. I have waited unsuccessfully as long as an hour to see if the update will take place automatically.
    The only way I can update it is to do a manual sync. This is a recent development. For many years, it has worked just fine.
    From System Preferences I have reset the data, but it did not have any effect.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Greetings,
    First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
    Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    __NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
    If the issue persists reset your sync data again from the computer to MobileMe.
    If the issue persists reset your sync history and then try again: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iSync/3.1/en/9247.html
    Hope that helps.

  • Lost Links to MobileMe Gallery on iWeb after updating to Snow Leopard

    I recently updated my OS to Snow Leopard. I appear to have lost all of my past iWeb links to my MobileMe Galleries. It is so frustrating. This is a lot of work from the past. All of the pictures still appear on Mobile Me Gallery but the iWeb site does not recognize them. The place where the pictures used to be now has a white box with text "Upload album or movie to MobileMe and then select it from this widget's menu." Why! When I try to use the MobileMe Gallery widget like I did in the past, it sees none of my galleries! Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? Thanks.
    Here is what the page looks like now. You can see where the galleries used to be. --> http://web.mac.com/georgeparsons/TatnallRunPics/Home.html

    Hi I just made one of my few visits to these forums because I had a problem kinda similar to yours. It was sending me nuts. Main indication of the problem was that when I went to add an album widgit it didn't show any of the albums I have in iphoto and no other fiddling back and forth republishing and the like fixed it. This was after working properly earlier in the day. I have just started to build a new website with iweb.
    I then updated to the latest version of iweb, that is 3.0.1, and yes you guessed it, now its working fine. So just in case i thought i would mention what worked for me tho i see others with different fixes to the same problem. So this worked on my 2.4 MBP running 10.5.6 and iweb 3.0.1.
    Good luck

  • IWeb not allowing me up update my site

    i've just updated my site on iWeb.  when i click "publish site" it asks me to login to mobileme but i'm already logged in and my account has been transferred to icloud.
    the publishing page shows that my idisk is full but my mobile me shows that i have more than 21 gb availabe.
    is this a mobile me vs. icloud issue and iweb hasn't been updated?
    i'm on iweb 3.0.4
    on 10.7.2
    thanks for any help

    If you're finding issues with iWeb (not related to publishning to MobileMe) try the following:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.

    launch iWeb and try again.
