IWeb page didn't publish to .mac

I created a web site in iWeb and chose command "publish to .mac" when it was ready. I got an error message saying it didn't publish, but not why. (Yes, I already have a .mac account.)
The page also does not appear under the URL http://web.mac.com/[YourMemberName]. (With the latter part filled in correctly, minus the brackets.)
Worst of all, I cannot find the original iWeb site, only the index copy saved as a Safari file, so I can't attempt to republish.
One, where did my original work go?
Two, why didn't it publish, and what can I do to fix it?

To see the problem go to http://web.mac.com/robruhn
I don't seen any problem. Perhaps it is just your local browser cache? Try clearing your cache and using another browser.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how the pc
user can form the link?
http://web.mac.com/robruhn should work just fine, unless the person at the other end is mistyping it or something. I would suggest that you get rid of the space in your site name and republish, as that might cause problems for some systems (i.e. change Site 3 to Site3 or Site-3 or Site_3).

How can I publish the alterations I have made to my iWeb pages when the ' Publish Site' button and 'Publish Site Changes' on the file dropdown are grey?

Download the html file google provides and put it in the root of your webserver.
Root is where you publish your webpages.
It's the file at the right of your your domainname.
Example:
http://www.yourdomainname.com/index.html
index.html is in the root.
To verify your site and if the google file has a name like dfrrndfbfgn.html, you provide this url to google :
http://www.yourdomainname.com/dfrrndfbfgn.html
Practice. And note that iWeb is not part of it.

IWeb pages not updating correctly on .mac website.

I have changed one of my pages in iWeb. This page was a photos page. I tried to put a movie at the bottom of the page and it didn't work right. When you load up the page it looks like there to be a movie there but it doesn't play. So I decided to remove it. I removed it in iWeb and published the update to my .mac account. When I go to view it the movie is still posted on my website.
Anybody know how to fix this problem?

depending on which browser you use you will find it here:
SAFARI: Open Safari, then choose "Safari" from the silver-white bar at the top and choose to "Empty Cache..."
FIREFOX: Open FF, and then from the bar at the top choose "Extras" and then "Clear Private Files." then from the pop-up choose to to clear cache. do this twice.

Delete my Iweb pages off of a former .mac account

I started a free trial of .mac and published my site on it. I then realized I wanted a different .mac name so I started another account free trial with a the plan of buying it in the near future and now my web page via iweb is on both. I am gonna let the first one lapse and go away but, I would like to get my web page off of it if possible. without deleting it from my new account. I am going in circles.. please help if you can, and I apoligize ahead of time if this is a stupid same ole same ole subject.. thanks everyone.
John

At the bottom of your screen is the Dock. Click on the blue left-most icon - that's the Finder. Then at the top your screen you'll see a Go menu item. Click on it and move your mouse down over iDisk... Then move the mouse over to the right and choose "Other User's iDisk..."

My iweb pages were created on another mac--what now?

A friend helped me create a web site. But he did it using iweb '08 on his Mac and using (I think) his .mac account. Now we're trying to move what he did onto MY mac.. The files are on my computer now and i have iweb '08. Here's the problem: although I can view the pages if I click on them, they're not opening up in my iweb. Does this mean they're not really publishing under my name and won't work with my e-mail and domain? Do I have to create the pages again, and start from scratch on my computer?
Thanks . . .

I appreciate the response, but it's still not working. Here's what I did: got a folder called "sites" from my friend which included something called html.index and another folder with several sub folders that I believe are the nuts and bolts of my site. I took the whole thing and placed it in Library/applications support/iweb. But when I open up iweb, all I see is the program's default template page.
Did I copy the wrong thing? Do I need to go into a different menu of my iweb to find my stuff?
Thanks, again, for your help . . . .

Iweb Pages not showing correctly on Mac

Hi you experts..
My site when uploaded to the server shows up as it should using any browser BUT when I open Iweb on my Mac to make changes the pages do not appear as they should with some elements missing or not visible !! This is very frustrating when updating ( not impossible but not a fun experience either ).
Has anyone else experienced this strange behaviour ???
Thanks for any help Phil

2nd question is why would my page that i have built look different once it is published using cyber duck, google ads not wear i placed them , structure of paragraphs is different etc..any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Publish your site to a local folder using the second method shown on this page...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
... and launch it in the browser by double clicking the index.html file.
Is this version OK?
If not your need to troubleshoot iWeb....

If it is OK you have a problem with FTP or on the server.

How to publish to .mac without using iWeb?

I have made my website at home and published to a folder on my portable HD. I'm now away from my home Mac, and, as seen in a thread below, I can't reopen in iWeb at work to publish to .mac.
How do I 'publish' to .mac? - is it as simple as copying the Sites folder to my iDisk? If I enter my iWeb URL will it link up with the iWeb pages/files I have uploaded to iDisk?
As you can tell I'm not a web designer!
Thanks in advance, Lee.

Ah, so regarding the previous thread about editing
published iWeb websites, you could theoretically keep
backups of the respective data files with their
websites?
Yes. And you should always keep such backups if you want to avoid having to recreate everything when something goes wrong.
I presume when the data file is replaced in the
Library the application opens up in that website,
rather then offering a choice of new templates?
That's what should happen, yes.

Did Apple Security Update 2007-004 break your iWeb? Can't post to .Mac

iWeb now will not publish to .Mac for me rather suddenly. The pages prepare, I can publish to a folder, but not to .Mac. The security update is the only thing I can think of that has changed. I have tried all other suggestions listed in this forum.
Try to publish to your .Mac if you have updated the security patch. Does it work? Can I rule it out?

JKB:
Did you repair disk permissions after running the updater? I did a couple of updates today after installing the update without problem.
Do you Twango?

Adding Google Adsense to iweb pages

In a previous posting, I was told that I could add the adsense code into my iweb website. I publish via .mac and cannot locate where the html is on my mac in order to add the code I need...anyone who can walk me through that would be a real angel!
Dave

flyfisher...
I'll give you an example of how to locate the page.html file for you to edit. Then I'll give you general directions on how to add the HTML code that you get from Google...
Example...
You have a page called "Widgets" as part of a site called "MySite" that you have made in iWeb. Then you publish it to .Mac. iWeb actually has copied all of your site files to your iDisk for you. To get at them, follow these steps...
1. Mount your iDisk to your desktop. (Look under the Go Menu>iDisk>My iDisk)
2. Double click on the iDisk icon that appears on your desktop
3. Look for a folder called "Web". Click to open.
4. You should see a folder in that called "Sites". Click to open.
5. You should see a folder in that called "iWeb". Click to open.
6. Now you should see a folder calle "MySite" (or whatever you named your site in iWeb). Click to open.
7. Find the file called "Widgets.html" (or whatever your page is named in iWeb with the .html suffix)
This is the file that you must open up in TextEdit in order to edit the HTML. Before you open the file, though, make sure that you have changed the TextEdit "Open and Save" preferences to ignore rich text format. Then open the .html file. You should see all of your code there for this particular page.
Here are directions for adding the code...
1. Decide where you want your banner and know exactly what dimensions you need.
2. Insert a text box onto your page and adjust its size to exactly your dimensions.
3. Type in some uniquely identifiable text like, "BANNERCODEHERE" without changing the font or anything else...just type it in.
4. Publish your page with iWeb.
5. Find the html file associated with your published page (either on your iDisk or in a folder depending on how you published) and open it in any text editor (like Microsoft Word, or Textedit, or anything).
6. Scroll through the html file and locate your placeholder text, e.g. "BANNERCODEHERE".
7. Replace the placeholder text with your html code and save your page. (Not save as...just save)
That's it. You should see your adsense ad banner show up where you placed the text box in iWeb.
Because iWeb republishes the html files whenever you update the your webpage, you will lose your changes and have to redo them to add your banners back everytime your page is published over.
I hope this helps.

Transfer my iWeb pages to my new hard drive

I lost my hard drive and everything on it. The good news is that most of what I need was backed up on .Mac. I need to know how to transfer my iWeb pages that are published and on .Mac, back to my new hard drive.

Publishing iWeb pages from 2 different Macs

I have recently bought a MacBook to complement my G4 Powermac desktop - the desktop has iLife05 installed and the MacBook iLife06.
I am really enjoying using the iWeb application and would like to be able to publish iWeb pages from both my MacBook and my desktop mac. Is there anyway I can get iLife06 transferred onto my desktop. I have already been firewiring files between the two - can I do the same with software or do I need to buy iLife all over again?

Hi James,
Your response definitely helped me since my boss and I are trying to maintain a website on both of our computers...
BUT, i have a huge problem. Before I knew how to transfer or find the domain files, I used the "FIND" option to search for the domain site on my computer and when i clicked it open, my site didn't come up but rather a prompt asking me what type of website I'd like to create. For months, the website we created showed up every time I opened iweb but now when i simply clicked on domain.site or whatever it was that turned up in the "Find" folder, I can't bring up or locate the site I created on the computer so I have no way to update it or put it on a disc for my boss... Do you have any idea what caused my site to disappear simply by clicking on domain or any idea where i could find my site??
please help!! thanks!
Vanessa
one more thing: is it possible for my boss to edit the content of the website without iweb? could she do it through the actual website with a password or something? just curious... also if i can't get that original domain site back, is there a way i can transfer my website to a different website other than iweb so that i can keep updating without having to redo the whole thing? even being able to transfer separate blogs from iweb to the original site would work too - anything to not have to redo the welcome page and picture pages that are already online

Help! I reinstalled my Mac and erased my iWeb page in the program.Its published, is there any way to download the pages from Mobile Me?

Help! I reinstalled my Mac and erased my iWeb page in the program.Its published, is there any way to download the pages from Mobile Me?

To download your pages from MobileMe simply mount your iDisk.
Then navigate to the Web > Sites folder where the pages are.
You can't do anything with them however, since iWeb cannot import them. But it's nice to know that you can download them.
You need the domain.sites2 files, iWeb uses to store its assets. Perhaps you have a backup?
See this page for pictures and movies to learn how to use the domain file :

IWeb pages published in folder do not match pages published on .mac

After creating a photography website in iWeb '07, I am unable to have the contents of that website that I publish to a folder match what I created in iWeb and/or published on .mac.
In other words, when I publish a page of photos to a folder (to later add paypal html coding) the html version does not match the published version on .mac.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
I was orgininally able to have the html file match the .mac version verbatim but after I added and deleted a few photos, the html file in the folder (as viewed with TextEdit) has not matched the edited changes ever since.
Any help, ideas or suggestion on this would be very helpful. The folks at the Apple store and at Apple Care were not able to help.

yeah, same here. I have more than 60 Video Tutorials on my site for free, many of them on iWeb so please have a look, as some of them definitely address your questions.
It is at http://www.australianmac.com and click on Tutorials on the top of the page. If they do not help then email me from the site and I will make you one that does.
