IWeb??  Publish not working.

I created a website using photos from my iPhoto.  I used the iWeb in iPhoto.   I completed the page and then "published" it.   But it is not working.   It says HTML not available.   Am I leaving out a step?   Thank you.   I have an iMac G5.   Can you help?

iWeb created websites used to publish to Apple's own online MobileMe personal website/web hosting server.(a forerunner to iCloud).
Some years ago, Apple first discontinued MobileMe web hosting service and sometime not too much later, discontinued the iWeb application, itself.
IWeb created sites used to publish, seamlessly, to Apple's online MobileMe web servers.
If you continue to use iWeb, you need to find other FTP web hosting/serving sites to publish your iWeb content to.
The problem is many of iWeb's design features do not publish/translate well to other web hosting/serving/FTP sites and servers making content created using iWeb difficult to for other publishing sites to translate and look the way they do on iWeb before publishing to another web serving site which will render/publish the content either close or radically different from what was, originally, creates in iWeb.
You may want to think about abandoning iWeb for other more compatible web creation/publishing tools.
I absolutely loved iWeb, but some time ago just gave up on it as no other web hosting/FTP sites could not render/publish my site the way I had it designed in iWeb.
The combination of iWeb and MobileMe was a integrated,,seamless experience, and unfortunately, didn't carry over to other more common web hosting sites.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

    Hello and welcome to the forum,
    About which version of Captivate you are talking? Did you run Captivate as
    administrator? If you are still using Captivate 4 there are issues with
    Win7 64-bit, and several threads in this forum. But first tell which
    version you are using.

  • BI Publisher not working with Web Cache

    BI Publisher not working with Web Cache
    I'm trying to enable BI Publisher to run from the internet. I have Web Cache (AS10g rel 2) in an internet DMZ, trying to work with BI Publisher running on a AS10g rel 3 server in a application DMZ. BI Publisher won't allow Web Cache to hide the URL after login. It tries to use the application server name as a URL and gets lost, since this is not resolvable from the internet. We have Content DB, other J2EE application installed in this same configuration, and it works fine.
    This is duty managed as of today. They required an enhancement request, which I submitted. SR 6696835.993 -

    Currently an enhancement - it was logged as that but IMHO its a bug as other Oracle products work OK - it kinda depends on whether its an ORacle strd to work with webcache or not. Suffice to say, we are investigating the issue and will update the er/bug soon.

  • 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.

  • IWeb rollovers not working

    I've created a site in IWeb, when I publish to my local folder or the web, the rollovers in my navigation bar do not work. They used to work fine, until I added a few more pages to complete my site. My nav bar is a text box with my links inserted as text.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    I see the rollover image that should come up . Since the rollover works locally the issue has to be with the uploading of the site files. How are you uploading the files?
    If you're using iWeb try using a 3rd party FTP client like the free Cyberduck to upload the site folder and its index.html file to the server.

  • HELP! iweb slideshow not working!

    I created my website in iweb, published to a folder and then uploaded to server via Fetch.
    Now slideshow page is not showing any images in the slideshow. I have to click RSS in order for them to show. Is there a way around this? I don't want visitors having to go through this process in order to view my work.
    The images show when I publish to .mac.
    Thanks for your reply!
    Laurie

    Hi Laurie,
    maybe it would be of help if you would provide your url so someone could have a look at it.
    It may be that some files are missing on the server and Fetch didn't do a good job and didn't upload all the files. Or it may be caused by the browser you're using (for example Firefox 3 doesn't display gallery templates anymore...). However it's difficult to say if that's the case without having your url.

  • Vendor publish not working from Sourcing to ECC

    Hello Experts,
    When we are publishing vendor from SAP Sourcing to ECC status becomes waiting for replicated and gives no error but XML is not getting created in FTP outbound folder and due to this vendors are not being able to published from sourcing to ECC. We have checked the integration setting and these seems to be fine as RFX award publish is working fine from Sourcing to ECC which also uses the same path to integrate.
    The issue is in our PRODUCTION system whereas it is working fine in Dev and TEST environment. Are we missing any setttings which generates XML?
    Regards,
    Rakesh Daiya

    Hi Prasad,
    Thanks for the response,
    Scheduled Tasks are working fine for the import of materials and vendors from ECC and picking the data from the FTP folder.
    But only the outbound of vendors not working, i checked in the logs but could not found any errors even in debug logs it is not generating the XML (I checked in the dev instance and while publishing it is creating XML in the logs as well).
    Do we need to do any configuration to generate XML when publishing Vendor or its a standard process to do so?
    Regards,

  • 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.
    Click to view full size
    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.

  • 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...

  • Flash in Iweb 08 not working on all internet browsers!

    I have incorperated flash movies into a site or two, for some reason they work fine if your using firefox or safari, but they don't work right if your using Internet Explorer. (which is what alot of people still use)
    I was just wandering if anyone else has ran into this and if so what I could do to fix it.
    You can see what I'm talking about by going to www.i2hd.com. If you have time try viewing it in both browsers and you'll see.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Jean,
    Actually, we have an issue with scalable HTML content and smartshapes where smartshapes do not work as buttons in scaled mode.
    Please try switching off the "Scalable HTML Content" option in the Publish dialog before publishing. Then it should work.

  • 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.
