Iweb page different to published page

hi all, just starting out using iweb and have a couple of issues.
one the FTP issue direct from iweb, does anyone have a solution for who is best to use to get this to work as far as a host is concerned. I was told by apple help desk that the host can not be a windows based host otherwise the FTP in iWEB will not work. I am have downloaded cyberduck in the mean time
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.

Graphics look different after publishing

I am creating a new site and after publishing, the TIF images I use change color. I change the background color of the image which looks fine on iweb but different when published.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for your advice in advance.

Phil:
I see all red links and only one has a mouse over action which is a green underline. Actually there are two that are just white text and not linked. You might try using the Publish all to .Mac menu option to force a rebuild of all the pages. That might do it.

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

Page formatting looks ok in iweb put looks different when published

Hi
I just got a new MAC Book Pro, and am still using the iweb o8. Today I made a web page that looked very much like a resume...indents , bullets, alignment. it looks great on the screen in iweb...but when I publish it and access through safari...all of the indents etc are gone or changed. Any clue what I am doing wrong? Thanks for any suggestions

No I haven't tried that but I will try it later tonight. Should I do it in word and then convert that doc to a pdf and then use that. The reason I ask is that I did turn the iweb page into a pdf because I wanted to proof it in paper form (old fashioned, I guess)...and when I printed the pdf document is was huge..
or maybe it looks small on iweb and in the actual web page and the pdf is normal size I was using 14pt type so it was readable on iweb...but when I printed the pdf it didn't fit on a page width wise, and the printed copy looked like 14 pt type....but the iweb page looked about 10 pt.
anyway I will try your suggestion and let you know
I tried to take screen shot...to show the misalignment of the text....but I couldn't get the screen shot into this screen.

Published page looks different than iweb page

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with one of the pages on my site. I placed shaded shapes behind text and although everything looks aligned in the iweb program, when I publish it one of the pages(adults) shows the text very misaligned.
What is bugging me is that it only happens on that page, no where else.
I have cleared the cache, re-made the page, as well as other options but cannot figure out why this is happening.Maybe someone here can help me out.
My site is www.beaupitsmma.com
Thank you,
Rich

Rich:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try adding the text to the shape itself. Ddouble click on the shape and start typing. You can then set the color and other font attributes. and removing it from the main text box, just leaving space so the shape will fit in. That probably is the quickest and easiest way to straighten out the issue.
You can also inset the shape into the text box at the location of the cursor by using the Insert->Shape menu option. Once the shape is inserted you can set its properties and add the text. It will then move with the text if you do any editing.

New computer, how can I sync my old published iWeb page with new compuer?

I had my old macbook stolen a year ago in Italy. I created and published an iWeb page to .mac on that computer. My problem is that I cannot figure out how I can sync my old page on .mac to my new computer so that I can continue to use it and upload pics. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hello,
and welcome the Apple iWeb Discussion Forum.
Basically you can't figure it out because there is no way to get published pages back into iWeb. iWeb lacks of any html import feature. The only thing you can do is rebuild it by copying and pasting content from the published one to the rebuilt in iWeb. However for photopages that isn't a good idea, it's better to rebuild them from scratch (iPhoto).
Be sure to make a backup of the domain.sites2 file (where iWeb stores) its files from time to time

How to publish an iCal calendar into an iWeb page?

I want to include an iCal calendar in an iWeb page. I know this should be VERY straightforward but can't figure it out. How do I accomplish this?
Brian

I'm having a problem getting the iCal to publish to iWeb, so that I can have a calendar on my website with rss feed for new dates. So I put in my mobile me account name, and I do have several calendars, but there's nothing that looks like I can specify which calendar. Please don't tell me that I have to use one calendar, because I don't want my personal with my court, my court with my work, my work with my kids etc. is there a way to maintain the "public" calendar. I'm confused.
Assuming this is doable, I did try the widget, but i keep getting an error message that page not found, we're sorry but we cannot find the ical you requested, its possible that it has been deleted or renamed.

TS2167 I changed my header in iweb and when I published the site the font had shrunk and it displayed incorrectly. It was only on my home page, not on others. I have iweb 3.0.4. Help!?!?

Just in-case anyone els runs into this, I figured it out... I was working from my hotel and apperantly the fire wall was not allowing anything to uplaod, but I wasn't getting an error message from iweb, it would say that everything was published succesfully even though it wasn't. Once I went home and used my connection eveything worked fine.

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 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 edit or remove iWeb pages from Mobile me after I have published it to another site?

I have published iweb pages to another server and now I need to replace the mobile me version with page "pages moved to..." or at least I need to delete old version. However I can't find any way to do this from mobile me or from iWeb.
From Mobile me I cant find any way to even delete pages.
With iWeb I cant edit the old version because I cant find way to have two version of same pages. As I understand what I need is a version of my republished pages that only contains the index page "pages moved to...". But I cant create that because I cant have two versions.

Bitte um specifischen Pfad um eine bereits bei 1und1 domain server bei google zu verifizieren. Vielen Dank

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.

Publishing iWeb page

What system version and iWeb version are you using? Can we safely assume your publishing you site to MMe since you've posted in the MMe discussion? What happens when you try to publish? What do you see?

Problems publishing iWeb page to my website

Hello, I'm having a heck of a time trying to get my iWeb page published to the free host server I chose. I have a subdomain name and account at atspace.com and no matter what I do, the darn webpage will not work. I'm a complete newbie to webpage publishing although I have decent knowledge of computers. I went through the entire process of making my page on iWeb, then published it to a folder on my computer, and then have been trying to upload the page to the site using cyberduck, and yet every single time I try to upload any file from the web page, cyberduck connects, but then says the following: ftp error cannot create folder, /About _files About: Permission denied. I've followed all of the steps I'm supposed to from help sites on the web about how to publish an iWeb page to a free host server and it even is connecting to my server, but when I try to upload the actual pages, it won't work. I even downloaded WebEcho as well, and same thing, WebEcho says it worked and that everything is great, and yet I visit the site and nothing works. If I go to my website address it just comes up blank and says that safari can not find the server. I am at my wits end and am becoming incredibly upset with the whole thing. I don't know if iWeb is not working, or the server is not working. I have an account with the server though, I registered the subdomain name, and when I test the connection, it works, but when I type the website address in my browser, it doesn't work. If someone could help me figure this out, I would be very happy and appreciative. Thanks in advance.

To summarize: you use Cyberduck to upload the files to the server.
If that's the case it's not an iWeb issue. Its role ends when the pages are published to the folder on your desktop.
If Cyberduck cannot create folders on the server then you have to find out what the problem is. Either on the server or with Cyberduck.
On basic question is : do you publish to the correct folder on the server? It's usually named public_html, html-docs. Check with your webhost.
+*Not sure what you mean by is it published to the correct folder on the server. I published the page onto my computer, it's in the sites folder on my hard drive. iWeb says it's uploaded or whatever and would I like to visit the site. So I click yes and it takes me to this website: file:///Users/ryanfick/Desktop/Ryan%20Fick/About%20.html This is not the server or the subdomain name I registered so I'm not sure what this is. It works though and I can navigate around the website, but when I go to the website I have a subdomain name at, it doesn't find it. Plus, I have no idea what public_html or html-docs means or is, you would need to explain that to me for me to know what or how to find it or use it.*+
BTW, why not use iWeb to do the publishing. Enter the details in the FTP setup. But check the details with your host first. If Cyberduck cannot publish the pages, then iWeb cannot either.
+*I have already tried to use iWeb to publish the site as I mentioned above, but nothing is working. Thanks for the quick response, but I'm almost completely lost on almost everything you asked or talked about. I'm a newbie to webpages and ftp and such. I have no idea on most of the questions and comments. I do have a few questions. Do I need to manually go to atspace.com and upload all the files individually? There are like a thousand files under the main files. And second, I've been trying to use Easy iWeb to publish it and it is asking me to input a folder to input on to the website that your iWebsite will be published to. I have no idea what this means or what it wants. It says to leave blank if you want to publish it to the top level of your website. So I left it blank and clicked on check configuration and it says configuration OK. So then I go back to the main page and click on publish to web and it says Ready, uploading, then failed to upload file: About .html at /Users/ Does this help at all? What do I need to do, what is going wrong? I feel like I am in bizarrO world right now where right is wrong and wrong is right and nothing works. Thanks*+

Can you work on the same iweb page on 2 different computers?

hi, i usually work on my imac doing my iweb pages, i would like to work on a second ibook that is in the house. i've tried and tried but can't find a way for the ibook one to pick up the pages. it has the same .mac idisk folder as the other mac with the iweb backup but won't start up with the iweb pages, the iweb starts up blank asking for its first page.
is there a way?
thanks

Chuck thanks, I found I can do it from that post, all you need to do is copy the iweb main folder to a USB mini, then I replace the iWeb folder in the next machine... it works great, you just have to remember to update it when you leave one machine and add the update to the next.
