IWeb podcasts not working in iWeb 08

I have been using iWeb 06 to put up podcasts for my church and now that I have a new iMac I was really excited to put the podcasts up using the new features in iWeb 08. However when I put the podcast in iWeb 08, it looks fine and even plays fine, I publish to a folder, just like I always did and I navigate to the page using safari, camino, ie etc. Then the page loads and where the quicktime bar should be is a whited out bar with a Q in the middle with a question mark. I noted this at home and on my work PC. I imported the podcasts the same way that I did with iWeb 06. The older podcasts that I put up using iWeb 06 work just fine. So I don't know what is wrong. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance

Most likely cause is "illegal" characters in your file names. Avoid spaces (use - or _). Don't use apostrophes or slashes ( / or '), quote marks, accented characters ( é ü) or any symbol.

IWeb is not working for sending podcasts to iTunes, so I need a new web building tool. What is the closest thing to iWeb that I can use, which also supports podcasts?

iWeb is not working for sending podcasts to iTunes, so I need a new web building tool. What is the closest thing to iWeb that I can use, which also supports podcasts?

There's no reason you can't go on using iWeb for this - with iWeb '08 you have to publish to a local folder (i.e. on your Mac) and then upload the contents of the folder (not the folder itself) to your hosting service: and you have to make sure you enter the new URL in the Publish information or the feed won't work properly; this done, an iWeb podcast should work fine.
Of course there is still the problem that iWeb is not supported and sooner or later a system upgrade may break it. You could look at RapidWeaver: you can make podcasts with that, though the last time I looked into that - which was admittedly some time back - I didn't feel it was ideal for this. There are lots of other podcast creation programs or services around. WordPress is OK but it may be a bit of a steep learning curve: Libsyn is an online service that seems to work reliably. Blogger writes messy feeds but does usually work. Podcast Maker used to work well - I used it myself a few years back - but it rather looks as if it's gone moribund and it may not be reliable with Lion/Mountain Lion, so you would want to check into that.

If you don't 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.

IWeb is not working!!!!!

My iWeb is not working right!!! All the widgets (exept for iPhoto and iMovie) do not work, every time a place the widget it just shows a selection square were the widget should be. The same thing happends when I chose to show the navigation on the top of the page, just a blank box. I have already called the apple support and tried many different things, like uninstalling iWeb and nothing changed then he took me thought endless steps for hours and nothing. I also went to an apple store and no one there new how to fix it ether. I need this fixed NOW!!!
Please help!!!

I would go to an apple store and talk to someone face to face but the closest one is over 800 miles away. I tried to talk to someone in an apple store wile I was on vacation but that did not have room for me. But I did get a chance to talk to a sales man and he didn't know jack.
I have already uninstalled and reinstalled with the application disk and it did not do anything. I have also tried accessing the widgets on another account and I have the same problem. I could try the download though, that might just work.
I have also had the problem of, when I make a 'blog' the box that should have the blog excerpts Is also blank and I can't even double click it, and when I do it just does what everything else does and shows a blue outline around the box and nothing else.
I wish someone knew something about this problem!

Which parts of iWeb will not work on third-party servers?

Hello,
I'm migrating my site so some new parts
I would like to know exactly which parts of iWeb will not work on third-party servers.

Features Unavailable When Publishing to a Non-Mac Server:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
From iWeb 3's Help
In addition, unless iWeb is modified by Apple or yourself the forward, back, pause and play buttons of the iWeb slideshows will not display once the MMe servers are taken off line:
However, if you follow the directions in this tutorial you can work around that: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.

SWF/Flash hyperlink not working in iweb

Hi guys,
Really really stuck with this one...
I have a flash file of which i have placed wihin my iweb site (the flash file shows and operates perfectly)
However - the SWF's hyperlink will not work within iweb.
The flash file itself is fine and the nyperlink within it works perfectly when opened within a browser.
Here is the code below - if anybody has any help I would be so grateful.
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000" id="obj1" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/ flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" border="0" width="800" height="600"><param name="movie" value="http://droprecords.net/drop_records/drop_circle_1_CS5_network.swf"><param name="quality" value="High"><embed src="http://droprecords.net/drop_records/drop_circle_1_CS5_network.swf" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="obj1" width="400" height="200"></object>

I've tried about 5 different codes now and although they all show the flash button - none of them allow the hyperlink within it to work properly.
So frustrating.
The closest one was this one;
<iframe src="http://droprecords.net/drop_records/drop_circle_1_CS5_network.swf" allowtransparency="true" width="400px" height="200px" frameborder="0" </iframe>
But that opens up the link insiade a small iframe window instead of the full external window.

ILife 08 iWeb 08 - Podcast Not Working HELP!

I may not have explained myself in my last post, so I'll try again. o.k. Who has had a problem with the new 08 stuff? I am not a computer genius and do my podcast in garageband, share it with iWeb, and publish with .mac. I am not good at code and have gone this route becasue it was being done for me. Since changing to 08, my podcast stopped working. I spoke to the "Genius" at the Apple store and he helped my change my website by removing the "iWeb" from the forwarded address. Now my website works. However, he had no clue on how to change this in iTunes. How can I get iWeb 08 and iTunes to work together to play my podcasts again? Any help would be apppreciated. My URL from the iTunes store is: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=264963988

Godaddy installed the
m4a MIME type on my hosting acount
Very useful info that some servers need this to be done! It would be nice to know exactly how they did it, but I suspect it was an addition to the .htaccess file along the lines of
AddType audio/x-m4a m4a
AddType audio/x-m4b m4b
If you can see the .htaccess or .config file in your space I would be interested to know if it says something like this.

Subscribing to podcast in iWeb does not work???

I created and exported to iWeb a music podcast using Garage Band. The podcast correctly imported to my iWeb website, so you can visit the site and play the podcast their. This process also creates a "subscribe to podcast" button on the iWeb website, which is supposed to allow visitors to click it and the podcast will automatically be added to their iTunes podcasts library. Well, this partially works, that is, an entry IS made in the iTunes podcasts library, but the entry does not work. It appears to reference the full text page of the podcasts webpage instead of the actual music podcast, so when you try to play the podcast within iTunes you get an error message.
Any ideas? There does not appear to be a way to correctly point the iTunes podcast entry to the actual music podcast on the website instea of the text main page.
Thanks.

Thanks for the offer to help. Here is the website:
http://web.mac.com/mgimbel/iWeb/Site%204/Podcast/Podcast.html
I'm not sure how to find the RSS file to send. ??
In case you're not familiar with the how the process is SUPPOSED to work between Garage Band, iWeb and iTunes, it should be a simple, 3-step AUTOMATED process:
1. in Garage Band, you choose "send podcast to iWeb". This exports the current project to an iWeb page as a podcast. (This works)
2. in iWeb, you publish the newly created page containing the podcast. I use .Mac, so my pages are automatically published to my .Mac account. (This also works)
3. On the webpage at the website containing the podcast, there is a button to "subscribe" to the podcast. When you click this, it is supposed to create a podcast entry in your iTunes library, under My Podcasts. (This is where the process stops working: the entry is created in iTunes, but it does not work - i.e., it does not appear to point correctly to the podcast itself, but instead to the webpage in general that contains the podcast, and iTunes can not identify the podcast from this.)
Hopefully, that helps. Sorry if you were already familiar with the process.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this.

Hyperlink to iWeb Page not working

I have created an iWeb page. I have a hyperlink to the page on a document. The hyperlink takes me to a mobile me error page ie "We can't find the page you requested. Please make sure the URL is spelled and capitalized correctly, and try again."
Yet if I copy and paste the exact same url I have entered in the hyperlink filed into the address bar on Safari it goes to the right page no problems.
Any ideas please?

Is that the page you're trying to link to in the PDF document?
I was able to place a hyperlink in an rtfd text file and and Word 2008 document to your web page that works. The link in the Word document takes about 5 to 7 seconds to get to Safari and open the Page. The rtfd document, created with Bean
Bean, a great, free word processor, opens the page in Safari almost immediately.
In Work I used the Insert ➙ Hyperlink menu option and entered the URL of you page and the text to use as the link. For the Bean document I clicked and dragged the link title at the top of your web page onto the Bean page and saved as a rtfd formatted file. If the page is saved as a plain text document the hyperlink is lost.

If I do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save as PDF from Bean I get a working link in the resulting PDF file. But with Word the link does not work.

My HTML not working in iWeb '09

I designed and published a site in iWeb but want to add a small text box that scrolls similar to the one found on AVClub.com (the newswire box except without the content comprised of links). I sent a copy of my homepage to a friend of mine and he was able to insert the HTML necessary to make this box appear. I sent him the index.html file and he emailed me back a copy just renamed as homepage.html. When I try to open homepage.html in iWeb, it is not recognizing the text box. I have usually just added the file to the local folder where index is. I tried to also rename homepage.html to index.html, therefore rewriting it and then publishing my site, thinking that the site would now how the text box in it. To clarify, I know that the HTML he embedded works properly, because when I open homepage.html in a browser on my computer, it displays properly with the text box.
Therefore, I was wondering if there is a way to directly edit the HTML through iWeb (is there a simple way through Widgets?), or can someone recommend the best approach to adding this style text box to my homepage. Pretty much all I need is a scrolling text box I can edit easily. Also once that is edited, do I just go about publishing it normally through iWeb? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This is exactly why iWeb itself contains html snippets or widgets under the media section.
If you want scrolling text boxes, then you insert your html code into an html snippet placed on the page wherever you want it and with the correct code entered it will become a scrolling text box directly in iWeb.
The only thing that you can do now is to open the index.html page that your friend added the html code to with a text editor such as Text Wrangler that can be downloaded for free. Open the page using this and find the appropriate code that was inserted and then copy this code. When you have copied the code open your original site in iWeb - so you need to go to your domain.sites file and open this directly or simply open iWeb and find your site.
When you have done this, go to the page of your site that you want the scrolling text inserted on and drag and drop an html snippet onto this page from media and then copy and paste the html code into the snippet and click apply and you should get the same scrolling text box directly in iWeb that you had before.
As others have already said, iWeb is not an html editor and is unable to open already published pages.
Use the html snippet in iWeb to insert any code that you need to.

IWeb 09 not working with Internet Explorer

Spent quite a bit of time creating a site in iWeb 08, which worked fine with Firefox and IE. Decided to upgrade to the '09 version because of few new features (widgets, etc.) Update install went well. No problems using Firefox and Safari but IE now will not work.
Site (home page) can be accessed using IE but links to other pages are not live. A real pain. I did nothing new to site (e.g., did not add widgets, photos, files, etc.) except to add a comment to my blog. A friend told me about the problem. Unsure what version of IE he is using but I tried it using Parallels running XP with IE v.6 and had the same problem.
Do I need to reinstall the '08 version? If so, will it just overwrite '09 or is there some other procedure required to install an earlier version? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Didn't intend this to be as much a venting as a warning to others.
The iLife 09 suite is very flawed. And it's not just iWeb.
iPhoto does not deliver. Face recognition failed to correctly identify even one person in over 250 photos. Not a minor thing since it was trumpeted so loudly at it's announcement.
iMovie corrupted the preview of a project I was working on in a prior version.
Turned it gray and 'staticky'. Starting over now.
I don't see quick fixes coming down the pipe because Apple has been absent from any news or comments for over a month.
So if someone is contemplating an upgrade to iLife09 and happens upon my rant, maybe I've save someone from wasting their money.
As far as knowing what I'm doing?
I've been in IT for 20 years. Unix, Linux, Windows, backup/recovery, etc... I've led a very rich IT life. I bought a Mac because of the 'Just works' promise, not to add another OS to my debugging repertoire.
I can get around the FTP problem manually (another problem with iWeb), but the ftp on 09 was a big reason I purchased it. And the problem with IE and Firefox not being able to even view any iWeb 09 sites now? That's going to be a bit more difficult to fix and is a show stopper.
Apple has not responded to anyone's support questions (including mine), and it's been about a month.
Not even a "Hey customers, we know about the problems and are getting right on it!".
So, when something like this happens, I like to put the word out there on every medium possible. kind of warns people and hopefully get's back to Apple.
And if Apple doesn't monitor these Support Discussions, they really should.
At the very least, my comments may bring up issues others have yet to discover.
And it makes me feel better...

MobileMe Gallery not working in iWeb

Trying to create a iWeb page and wanna use mobileme gallery widget but the widget does not work. It tells me to add gallery and movies to the widget and thats already done. What do I do???

Flash File Made in Keynote does not work in IWeb site

I created a file in keynote and exported it to a flash file. I then drag and drop into my website and it shows up as a text in a box (the title and .swf). What am I doing wrong and is really that complicated?? I have exported before to a quicktime file and then dragged it in IWeb and it worked fine, what's the story??

The main problem people have with this is to get the idea of how you store the file on your server and how to create the link to it. If the link is not exactly right - it won't work.
Test your link by copying it and pasting it into your browser to see if it works.
Here's the code again...

Iweb archive not working online

I've had church website up and running for a year. Every week I upload a new sermon between 25-30mgs. There are about 52 by now. This time when I went to the site online I noticed the Archive page was is working even though it's working in the program. When you click on the subject nothing happens. Also the "previous" button and other buttons at the bottom are not working either. When I opened the iweb file now the archive button is green. Any suggestions?

Thank you for replying. I had a box with a rule around most of the content on the page. I tried selecting it and sending it into the background. This seemed to be the problem and the archive page is working online for the moment. But in iweb the "archive" icon is still green. What does this mean. If you want to look at the site the URL is www.ccc-hc.org.
