IWeb pages on .mac - snail pace and movies won't load

As a novice, I gave iWeb a try using my .mac account. Two problems: 1) even with a broadband connection, the pages load very slowly on a fast pc using firefox (on Safari, it is very fast) - only pictures (lowered resolution). 2) every time I try to publish a movie (e.g. share to web from iDVD, the movie comes up as a large 'Q' for quicktime, but doesn't play.
Can anyone help???
Thanks. Ganschman
20" iMac G5 2.1   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

I have sent an iMovie file to iWeb, reducing its size to about 10MB (from 3.2 GB) and then added it to an iWeb movie web template. Works in iWeb, but when I upload my web pages with the movie, it doesn't work in Safari, Firefox or IE. Thought it would be seamless as iWeb is part of the iLife package.
Again, the web pages load fast on my mac using safari (each pic is like 300 kb), but when I use my pc, it takes ages, even with a DSL broadband connection, and dial up, each page takes hours to load. I find that a bit unusual. Is 300kb (orig photo is 8 mpxl (about 4mb) still too big for web publishing.
Will a website work faster with a commericial web tool like dreamweaver, which I have, but haven't had time to figure it out?
Thanks for the tips.

  • I want to take files from my PC (using a Seagate external hard drive) then plug this Seagate External hard drive into my Mac Book Pro and move the files from the Seagate External Hard drive onto my Time Capsule. I do not want to put these files on my Mac

    I want to take files from my PC (using a Seagate external hard drive) then plug this Seagate External hard drive into my Mac Book Pro and move the files from the Seagate External Hard drive onto my Time Capsule. I do not want to put these files on my Mac. How do I do this? Where do I put these files on my Time Capsule? Will it affect the functioning of my Time Capsule?

    Mixing files with data is not always great idea.
    See info here.

    Why not just connect the PC directly to the TC by ethernet and copy the files over?
    It is hugely faster and much less mucking around.
    In windows load the airport utility for windows.. if you have not already as this will help you access the drive.
    There is more info here.

  • ICloud TV and movies won't stream on iPad4 and iphone 5

    iCloud TV and movies won't stream on iPad4 and iphone 5.. I get a black loading screen then it reverts back to the movie or tv show page after about to seconds any ideas? Server glitch on apples end?

    FCC rules prohibit Verizon from locking down the SIM slot on new devices as part of the agreement for the wireless spectrum auction that they won. There have been numerous reports of issues with some functions from people using the Verizon iPhone 5 on other carriers.  Basic phone functionality should work, however, the Verizon and AT&T networks use incompatible LTE frequencies.
    The Verizon iPhone 5 has never been advertised or otherwise officially represented as "Unlocked". Apple does not use the term "Factory Unlocked" at all.

    And no, I was a bad boy and had not been Time Machining. Guess I will now.

  • Shared music and movie library stops loading

    The shared iTunes music and movie library stops loading on my ios devices.
    iTunes 11.1.5 is set up for both home sharing and library sharing over my secured home wifi network. Home sharing between the mini that is running iTunes and my old Macbook works without any issues.
    My ios devices can see and will eventually connect to the shared library but connecting is pretty slow unless the ios devices are in the same room with the mini.
    After a few hours my ios connection to the shared music and movie library drops and stops loading halfway when I try to reconnect.
    The ipad is running ios 7.1 and my iPhone is running ios 6.1.3.

    Hi Jay Clay and Hagerty,
    I'm in the same boat.  I'm running iTunes 11.2.2 on a Macbook Pro (running 10.9.3) and iOS 7.1.1 on an iPhone 4s; so running the latest version of software is not the issue.
    The username logs in correctly on all devices and I can actually see the iTunes library available to share on my device.  From "Music" on the phone, I go to "More > Shared" and then select the library that is shared from my Macbook.  So I know that the login information is correct.
    The circular status wheel begins to load and gets halfway around before it stalls and does not resume.  This process happens repeatedly, so it's reproduceable and consistent -- not a one-time issue.
    I've tried restarting both systems, but the same problem ensues.  I've also tried signing out and signing back into Home Sharing on all devices, which did not resolve the issue.  I've read and followed all the recommendations in "Troubleshooting Home Sharing", but these really only offer solutions if you're not able to see the shared library; which is not the issue that I believe Jay Clay, Hagerty and I are having.
    Some thoughts:
    Could it be that the iTunes library is too large?
    Could it be that Home Sharing times out if the library is not loaded in a set amount of time?
    I've attached a screenshot of what I'm seeing on my iPhone, for your reference.
    Also, here is the confirmation page I'm seeing in iTunes, so Home Sharing appears to be working.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    d Pacifist to reinstall both the Safari
    application and the WebKit framework
    was that before the 10.4.6 combo was applied?
    Nope, I tried the Pacifist route after applying the combo update.
    It does sound as if webkit is busted at the moment.
    What version of osx is on your install disks?

    If possible you need to upgrade OS X. However, what you can upgrade to is dependent on what your Mac hardware and configuration is which you have not provided in your profile.

    Thank you everyone for your suggestions and help.  Ended up logging out of my apple ID account.  Of note, when I did I did a quick test and checked out both the movies and tv show options, and it all worked perfectly.  I then logged back in, and now all my purchased and rentals are available which makes sense.  I guess with the update there was some weird bit of trons that required one to log out then back in.  Probably doing a rest in between may not hurt for some.  Thanks again for all the assistance. Cheers.
    It looks like there is a Apple doc for this problem here -> Apple TV: Unable to access Movies, TV Shows, or other iTunes features after updating

  • Using Apple TV for first time - to rent a movie.  Logged in successfully - billing info updated.  Keep getting message to log into Itunes on PC - movie won't load on TV

    using Apple TV for first time - to rent a movie.  Logged in successfully - billing info updated.  Keep getting message to log into Itunes on PC - movie won't load on TV -
    any advice?

    3GB for a movie? That's almost equivalent to an original DVD. 
    Have you checked in the Recently Added playlist?
    I think this is possibly linear.  Select 'normal' in HB, iTunes accepts it; select 'high quality' in HB iTunes doesn't.  I can't say why; I don't have any video that anywhere approaches 3GB in size.  If that's how iTunes behaves I don't see you have too many options.  You either select normal and it works, or you select HQ and live with playing the movie outside of iTunes.
    I won't ask what movie because any help with illegally ripped copy protected DVDs is strictly prohibited by the Terms of Use so I'm assuming this is a 6 hour video of your puppy playing on the floor.
