IWeb or other?  Does Apple?

Does Apple use iWeb or similar software to create this site? I'm wondering for a professional site of Professional quality, should I study and invest in something other than iWeb?
Thanks a bunch!

Glen:
You should, however, test your site/pages at http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/ to see how they will look with Internet Explorer 5.5, 6 and 7. The earlier versions do not play well with iWeb site since a lot of png files can get created. I've found a number of tips on making sites more "darkside" compatilbe.
1 - do not use and frames or borders, etc. around photos.
2 - don't use any reflections.
3 - create your own navigation bar with linked text* and turn of theiWeb Navigation bar. The nav bar is all png based.
*Put your linked text directly under the Navigation bar. Then turn off the nav bar in the Inspector window. The nav bar will disappear and the linked text will move up to the top of the page.
4 - use only the web safe fonts from the Font pane.
5 - do not use drop shadow on fonts.
6 - turn off smart quotes.
The above will reduce the number and size of files associated with a web page quite a bit. Photos with fancy frames and reflections can generate a thumbnail png of around 110KB whereas the plain version will be a jpg of only 28KB. Although it doesn't sound like a lot, it will speed up loading of the page and be more darkside (i.e. PC) friendly.
Run a test with a test site and publish to a folder. Then follow the hints above and publish to another folder and compare folders.
Some of this may be of some use to you.

  • Does apple have any explanations for why iCloud will not support iWeb & is there any viable solutions. iWeb is critical to my small business & we have all been trained via joint ventue on iWeb. Now it just goes away. Why?

    I appreciate your repsonse, but the irony is that Apple is still scheduling "One-to-One" & Joint Venture training on iWeb knowing that it all will end next June. ..
    Just to add this : iWeb -- the app itself -- is still supported,updated only months ago and as part of the ilife '11 DVDs still widely spread even though it is not sold on the AppStore it is official part of iLife. It runs in Lion and there is zero issues with the app. So a training makes sense, doesn't it ?.
    They would only to exclude the "publish to me.com" part to be up to date for courses and trainings :-≠

  • When i open an mp3 file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

    when I open a music file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

    If you use iTunes' default settings then when you add a file to iTunes it places a copy of the file in the iTunes media folder and it leaves the original in place.  The exception is when you drag it to the Automatically Add To iTunes folder.
    It does not convert the file.  You can delete the original if you wish.

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • I would like to know, does Apple Product Giveaways have a page for competitions on Facebook? A lot of People including myself have entered in these competitions and have won and iPhone and many other items. I am one of those people who won, it is true.

    Hi, My name is Sue Keeffe Ayton, I just want to know, does Apple Product Giveaways have a page on Facebook? They are running competition to win Apple Products. A lot of people seem to be winning Apple Products including myself. I saw that I have won a White Iphone 5s 32 GB, I would like to know if this is a scam. If someone goes on the facebook website and type in Apple Product Giveaways you will find this competition page. Please tell me if this page is for real.
    Please I need to know if this is for real.
    A lot of poeple including myself have entered these competitions and have won. I have tried to contact this page admin, but was unable to. I have even tried to contact Facebook team to find out, but was unsuccessful at this point in time.
    I am not sure if these people who are running these competitions are going to send these items out to the winners. I hope they do. If you enter a competition/s and you win, you would expect to receive your winning item/s.
    I never thought it was possible to win something on Facebook. When I saw my name pop up on the winners list in Apple Product Giveaways for March 2 2014 I was excited. I am one of 5 people who won an Apple product.
    Below you will see Apple Product Giveaway page on Facebook. On the right you will see the competition winners. I hope someone can help me find out the truth and if its fake, I will report this to Facebook to have this page shut down. A lot of people will be hurt, disappointed and very angry this has happened
    I hope you will show your support and help me solve this.
    If this is not the right site to report this or find out if this is a scam, please guide me to the correct area.
    Thank you for your attention.

    Apple does not give away its products.
    Unless you are the 1,000th person to show up at a new Store and Tim Cook is there and his assistant is filming you to be posted on their Home Page.
    That is yet another FaceBook SCAM.

  • Hello, I just got an iPhone 4S and it seems that the bluetooth function in it doesn't work. I tried few times to pair it to other non Apple phones and it never worked. Does anyone has an idea how to solve the problem? Tks.

    Hello, I just got an iPhone 4S and it seems that the bluetooth function in it doesn't work. I tried few times to pair it to other non Apple phones but it never worked. Does anyone has an idea how to solve the problem? Tks.

    This is not a feature of iPhone, iPad or iOS.
    Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone
    devices/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the
    app store and internet tethering where provided by the carrier.
    Other than this it will not connect to a phone/computer/device.  (thanks to ckuan for the wording)

  • Does Apple still use a checksum hash (or take other steps) to prevent Songbird media player desktop app from opening?

    Hello. I've downloaded and installed Songbird for Mac desktop three times. When I try to open the application its icon briefly appears in the dock, but after several seconds it crashes without opening. My MacPro meets and exceeds the listed software requirements. Any ideas why the app won't open? According to http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/what-might-end-apples-open-source-pass/313 0, "For those unfamiliar with the story, Apple began "protecting" its iTunesDB file (necessary for syncing) with a checksum hash in September 2007. This kept people from using other music programs like Winamp and Songbird, alongside iPod files." That's ancient history now, and Apple does even allow the Songbird mobile app for iPhone. There is no Songbird app in the App Store though, and attempts to open the desktop app file downloaded from Songbird's site result in the problem described.
    Possibility: I have a large iTunes music library - 16K+ songs - would Songbird refuse to open due to potential stability issues with importing a library that size?
    Found a similar issue on the Songbird support boards here: https://getsatisfaction.com/songbird/...
    Based on that info I opened Terminal and entered
    /Applications/Songbird.app/Contents/MacOS/songbird -ProfileManager &
    This opened a small dialog box that allowed me to specify a default user (but would not allow the default user name to be re-named). I was then able to go through several windows and opt to have my iTunes library imported, to have several Songbird apps imported, and to not provide user details. The window then closed, and the Songbird icon again disappeared from the dock. Crash.
    Meanwhile, the Terminal app now displayed
    this.addToLibrary is null in SBPlaylistCommand_AddToLibrary ?!!
    I then entered the original command again, opened the default user box again, but then the default user dialog box closed and again the Songbird icon disappeared from the dock. Crash.
    Attempted to open Songbird from the Applications folder with the same result: the default user box appeared briefly, then closed and the Songbird icon disappeared from the dock. Crash.
    Any other ideas that might help this to open, or does Apple feel threatened and is therefore preventing users from accessing the app?

    Songbird working exactly how it should here under Mountain Lion 10.8.2  Maybe try uninstalling as per manufacturer's instructions and reinstalling most recent version. I would be hesitant to muck around with a non responsive program as such with Terminal before exploring other Troubleshooting Paths such as other Third Party conflicts. Have you installed any anti-virus software? MacKeeper, Little Snitch or similar? Can you post a crash report. That may help further.But definately working as it should here.

  • Iweb upload to host other than apple

    Is this possible? Can I change the settings inside of iweb so that it will upload the site to a different host, other than apple. I'm a dreamweaver user and I have to help out a number of people and they all just got new macbooks. Since it has iweb already, it would be great to use it, but we didn't get the mac accounts. The office did open an independent site with a generic hosting service.
    One person says that we can upload the site to the our purchased host through FTP. Sure, but everyone is COMPLETELY computer illiterate. So that isn't a solution. We need something they can just press and it will work. Can I configure iweb to do this. This is a Yes or NO question. I just need to know. I can do the legwork myself, but before I get started down that road, I need to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Otherwise it's dreamweaver.
    Thank you. Whoever you are that has the answer.

    Whatever happened to helping people to learn or teaching, or has this art suddenly disappeared? I am sure that most people were computer illiterate as you put it before we got our hands on one and were taught or helped to learn how to use it. I know I was. I remember about 16 years ago now, when I was at university, I needed a computer, so I purchased an Amstrad. It was a black and white monitor and had no hard drive, so all work needed to be saved on a floppy disc. This saw me through uni and I then decided to buy my first proper computer which was a Viglen PC. This had an internet connection and I learned how to use this by fiddling myself and reading books and with help from others.
    It was not long after this that Apple bought out the first iMacs - the Tangerine iMacs that were 500 Mghz. I bought one of these for my parents as they wanted something simple to use without all the leads and connections that PC's had. I set it up for them and used it myself and was so impressed with it, that I went out and bought one for myself and have never looked back. It ran OS 8, which was quite unstable and kept crashing and freezing all the time. I learned how to use this myself.
    Since then, I have graduated to the latest Macs and the latest software, but they are easy to use even for the computer illiterate. Even the computer illiterate can learn if they are taught.
    I totally agree with what Roddy has said. How hard can it really be to publish to a folder - this can be done from within iWeb itself, by selecting the Publish to MMe or a folder option? If someone were to set up an ftp client such as Cyberduck for people to use and have all the info needed entered into it, then all they need do is click on upload and select first the site folder and then the index file. Is this really going to be so hard?
    Do you really think that using Dreamweaver is going to be easier than using iWeb? If these people are not even able to click on publish to a folder and then upload using Cyberduck themselves, then do you really think that they will be able to use Dreamweaver any better? Dream on then if you think this!!

  • Does Apple provide in store classes etc in other than Apple Stores?

    I live in an area where the closest Apple Store is 2 hours away.  I want to take some of their classes (workshops) etc. but cannot find a resource in my area.  Does Apple allow any other stores that carry their products to provide the same level of customer service ? 

    Any store is allowed to provide whatever classes they wish, and typically are encouraged to do so, though Apple does not require classes to be offered. You'll need to contact dealers in your area and inquire. You can search for authorized dealers in your area through this web page:
    http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/
    Some community colleges also offer computer classes and may cover Apple products. There may also be Apple User Groups in your area that might be of assistance:

    Nothing.  The 2nd Gen Touch is OBSOLETE and is WAY past its support life.  If you want to run the newer apps you have to buy a newer iPod.

  • Does Apple make/sell the new "Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic" with a one sided configuration? So that a person that is deaf in one can hear both sides of a stereo recording? Also, since the "other" bud is not necessary/useful...it's removed.

    Does Apple make/sell the new "Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic" with a one sided configuration? So that a person that is deaf in one can hear both sides of a stereo recording? Also, since the "other" bud is not necessary/useful...it's removed.

    As far as I know, Apple sells no such configuration.  However, under Settings > General > Accessability, there is an option to play back audio in monoural mode, which would then play both halves of a stereo mix in each earbud.
    Hope that helps.

  • I have Lost my iphone particularly it is stolen other than local police station does apples service center or premium reseller can do my help??I mean does Apple service center helps us?? Please answer this ASAP

    My iPhone is stolen I need Help in answer the following question other than Local police station does Apple Service center or premium reseller does our Help
    Please answer it ASAP

    No, they will not help. You need to have Find My iPhone activated on the phone prior to the loss/theft and then you can track the device at www.icloud.com. If you did not activate Find My iPhone, then there is no way to track the device. If the device did not have a passcode on it, immediately change the passwords of all accounts you have on the phone; mail, banks, credit cards, etc.
