Iweb publishing error - network

I can't publish my web page.
"Publish failed due to a network error. Check your Internet connection and try again."
I have wireless connection and everything else works fine.
What is the problem and how do I fix it?

I am having the same problems but they have only just developed in the past 24 hours. And mine have nothing at all to do with my connection. I suspect that none of us experiencing this idiotic situation are enduring it because of a connection problem. It's clearly at Apple and they should do something about it.
I got the same error message telling me to check my connection at home where I have very good cable. So, after a day or trying, I went to another location where I used Verizon fiber optics and had a magnificent connection. Once again, it created all the pages, then said publishing failed and told me to try again. What's particularly stupid is that the change I made was actually published but iWeb is being told that it wasn't. Now, if I want to make a minor correction on one page, it goes back to publishing all sites of all pages -- then tells me publishing failed.
This is absurd. Apple should fix it and stop passing the buck. That business attitude gets very old.

  • IWeb Publish Error - A lock occurred while publishing to MobileMe

    iWeb Publish Error - A lock occurred while publishing to MobileMe. Try publishing again later.
    I've tried all articles so far on apple support site. Tried on new OS user and publishing to folder and publishing a test page. I still get an error. Publishing to folder works fine, its just when I publish to MobileMe. Also tried different network and restarting computer etc.
    Help me. Thanks.

    If you are logged in OK maybe you should look at your Keychain.
    Finer/Go/Utilities/Keychain Access.app.
    Try "Keychain First Aid" from the "Keychain Access" drop down menu.

  • IWeb publishing error unknown version 1.01

    Help. I thought iWeb was supposed to be fairly simple!
    I have a reasonable amount of content, which I have recently gone to a lot of hard work to transpose from homepage to iweb. It now won't publish. I get the above error message. I have looked for something to aid me with this, but it tends to be regarding version 1.1 (I haven't upgraded). I want to cry. Any ideas anyone? Is it because I changed a couple of site names? Are five photo pages with approximately 80 photos on more than 1 GB? I have gone into Domain, this indicates 1.1GB but I don't think that can be right! Also, I tried to publish to a folder - no success there either - the above error message again!
    Please help me, I'm so frustrated I could pop!
    Matt

    "homepage transposed to iWeb"?
    does that mean you have a homepage version of the photos then an iWeb published one?
    then yeah it is likely you've exceeded the 1Gb space allotment in a single user .mac account. (80 photos x 5 x 2(homepage+iWeb versions) .... its possible to reach 1 Gb depending on the size of the photos
    Play around with publishing to a free version of .mac . Create a new user on your computer and use that to publish to the new .mac account. See if you encounter problems publishing there, this way you can rule out whether it was your paid .mac account that's faulty or your ISP/network.
    Lookslike you have to make a choice between homepage and iWeb. Just arrange your photos on iPhoto as you see fit (the 5 albums you want) and play around in iWeb.

  • Iweb - Publish error - can't create the file "..."

    Hey guys,
    I've seen this issue in a couple of discussions but nothing helps. When I try to publish my site I'm getting the following error note:
    "Publish error. Can't create the file "...png". The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges."
    Same result whether I publish to an ftp or to a local folder.
    My disk is far from full and the site is merely a few megas heavy.
    The content is just text and a few photos.
    I have OS version 10.6.8 and Iweb 3.0.4.
    No passwords involved.
    I've tried all the tricks in the book:
    Duplicating the page that won't publish.
    Re-creating the page that won't publish.
    Deleting com.apple.iweb.plist from home/library/preferences
    Moving my site domain to another location, creating a new site and then putting the old one back
    Deleting cache from libray/caches/com.apple.iweb
    I re-installed Ilife
    Reboots
    Banging head repeatedly again wall
    Any idea what could be causing this and how to fix it?
    Pleymo

    Try the following:
    delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    launch iWeb and try again.
    If that doesn't help continue with:
    move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
    go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    launch iWeb and try again.

  • IWeb publishing error

    When I try to publish updates to my webpages I get the message - "There was an error updating .Mac." I have tried deleting the preferences file and rebooting.

    Your Public Profile indicates you are using Mac OS X (10.4.6) — upgrade to 10.4.11 via Software Update and then in iWeb do a Publish All from the File menu.
    If the error persists, see this Apple doc:

  • IWeb publishing errors

    My computer crashed and I ended up installing everything again. However, when I try to update my site using iWeb, I get the following error:
    An error occurred while publishing file “/private/var/folders/g3/g3WR5nm6GXmMVozexXw6oU+TI/TemporaryItems/com.apple.iWeb2243_TEMP_270725365_2/sites/Site/theology_spong_files/shapeimage7.png”. Try publishing again later.
    I tried deleting iWeb and reinstalling. I also erased my idisk and even dumped my "domain" and wrote a completely new one page test site to no avail.
    Any suggestions please?

  • IWeb: publishing error message

    Out of the blue this afternoon when I tried to upload some changes to the web site I received the following error message
    PUBLISHING ERROR: There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider
    To double check the connection to the FTP server I clicked on the "Test Connection" button on the 'FTP Server Settinngs' of the 'Site Publishing Settings' page and the result came back clear and ready to use.  I also ran a speed test on my broadband and that was fine too.
    I cannot see any reason why I would get a publishing error.  Can anyone help me please.
    Thanks

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed to your iPhoto Library:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Latest Security Update Cause Website Login & iWeb Publishing Error?

    Hello all and Happy Holidays!
    I just did the latest Mac OS Security Update early this evening, but I was too sleepy and tried from work, that I disconnect all the peripherals, cables etc, but I forgot to pull out my firewire cable that was connected to a FireWire Hub (but no FW device was turned on at the time)
    So I continued to do the update, restart and Repair Permission, have always been careful and so far nothing has "gone wrong" on my iMac.
    But now I can't log into a particular Members' Webpage, keeps getting a Safari error page saying the server is not responding; Secondly, tonight I have tried at least 3 times trying to publish my latest blog entry on my iWeb, but it gives me the error message asking me to check my network connection.
    I can surf, email, iTunes even download the latest podcast in the background while I am encountering these "small" problems.
    Anyone can help? Most appreciated.
    Has this got to do with the Security Update?
    Thanks and cheers

    Not neccesarily this particular security update, but performing any update while your firewire port was in use. Try resetting the FW port, info here, (I know it works, but resetting it might just do the trick) and see if that helps,

  • IWEB publishing error on Snow Leopard

    Help please. I've been using iWeb for years now - very successfully. Since installing Snow leopard though, I cannot publish web pages with photo's on them - ANY PHOTO. Photo gallery collections etc loads perfectly. The iWEB application just quit on me.

    Welcome to the discussions. If you're publishing to MobileMe, you could try asking Apple for help: MobileMe live chat support is now 24/7 — see this announcement. Other Apple support options are here.

  • IWeb Publishing error: "Can't connect to .mac account"

    I have been able to publish fine until three days ago. I wait for my movies to be created then get a dreaded " Cannot connect to .mac account. Check internet connection. Try again later. I can log in to access my idisk, get e-mail, and generally do everything else. Why suddenly can't I publish? I'm using OS 10.4.10 and ilife'08. Thanks

    I WAS a happy iWeb camper until two days ago. When I tried to add a page to my site today, it told me I was out of space, and to change my configuration, dump some files, or purchase additional storage. I dumped some pages that broke my heart to get rid of, published my iWeb to a file, then did a "get info" check - I'm only using 4.4 GB of space, I reset my mail to 30 MB, and it still tells me I'm out of space. The last time when I published the whole site I got the message that it could not connect to .mac account, to check my internet connection and try again. I'm just totally aggravated over this now. I spent a lot of time on the pages I got rid of for no apparent good reason, and still can't publish my new page. After all the aggravation when I installed Leopard on the 24" aluminum iMac, I thought I'd have smooth sailing now that they resolved the freezing problem. As Waylon Jennings said in his song, WRONG! Sure hope someone comes up with a fix for this one. Thanks, Deb

  • IWEB publishing errors: hyperlinks, formatting, images

    After publishing, my text boxes with hyperlinks and or bold / italics the fonts / boxes are completely messed up. iWEB seems to be using the old code rather than writing new code, and randomly making changes or inserting element from different pages. I believe this is somehow related to iWEB's writing of the style blocs. Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Thanks,

    What version of iWeb are you using and where are you hosting your site?  If you publish you site to a folder on your hard drive and open it locally with your browser does the site appear as it should?

  • TS2167 iWeb publish error

    Can't create the file,,,,The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges?

    What version of iWeb are you using?  How much free space do you have you on your boot drive?
    Try the following general troubleshooting fix:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    3 - launch iWeb and try again.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • "Publish Error: Publish failed due to network error. Check your internet co

    I am using the very latest version of iWeb. I have had it for a week.
    First let me tell you the message that I got and then what I was doing prior to getting the message:
    It said: "Publish Error. Publish failed due to a network error. Check your internet connections and try again."
    I did check my internet connections and I called mt cable modem ISP. He put me through some tests and ascertained that the problem was not with the cable connection. I can connect to the web (of course) and I can send and receive email. The fellow at the ISP (Road Runner) told me that the uploading goes just fine but that the confirmation end of it is bad.
    I have made 9 pages for my website. I clicked the button to publish the 10th page and got the message at the top of this post.
    Then I called Apple Care and took advantage of the 90-day help warranty. The gal there had me try to publish to my private folder. That worked! I was able to publish to the folder and that message at the top of this post did not appear. It said that the page was published and did I want to visit it.
    I ended up deleting the page about my friend Lerma, since everything was going fine until I did that page. AS I recall, there was a mixup with the pages and I thought I had fixed it.
    Then I worked a little more on my husband's Memorial Site and tried to publish and got the same bad message as above, meaning that it wasn't just the page about Lerma but any page I might be doing since doing her page.
    NOW THIS IS THE ODD PART:
    I went to the website on Safari browser with the intention of checking out the other earlier pages, only to discover (happily) that my husband's memorial page (the beginning of it) WAS THERE even though I got that message saying that there had been a network error. Lerma's page, however, was NOT there.
    I am between happy knowing that a page can show up on the website even though I get a message saying that it did not, but anxious knowing that if I am getting Publish Error messages, something is screwy with the program.
    I will continue to try to publish to the Internet, but meanwhile I welcome any observations and happy accounts of how they got the same message but everything ended up fine after a while.
    Meanwhile I am going to be working on my pages even though right now I am getting those messages saying that they could not publish due to network error.
    I need a break.

    Hi Lorna!
    Sorry to hear that you're getting the dreaded
    "Publish Error" message from iWeb. Lots of people
    have reported getting this type of error...and I
    don't think it ever really has much to do with the
    network...at least nothing that can be fixed. The
    fact that you have been publishing just fine up until
    now is a good thing. Some people have NEVER been
    able to publish to the web. Hopefully this problem
    will clear itself up. Maybe it's just sunspots or
    something. Probably someone thinks you need a break,
    too.
    Is this the kind of thing that would warrant me going back to the Apple Store to get an exchange???

  • Publishing error - unable to publish iWeb 08 site

    After re-making my 30 page site using iWeb 08 due to it destroying my iWeb 07 Domain file - I have tried repeatedly to publish the new site without success. Usually I wait 1.5 hrs while the progress bar goes slowly around, then I invariably get a message saying there ways an "error connecting to the server or network error". It takes 1.5 hrs to tell me this?
    However I clearly am connected to the .Mac server because I get the message earlier on stating that "publishing will continue in the background". Somehow the .Mac server doesn't accept the Domain file. I have published the Domain to a folder on my desktop and the site works fine on the browser when I launch it using the index html file.
    I have sent several iWeb feedback messages concerning this problem so hopefully the boffins will fix it. I have no intention of renewing my .Mac subscription if the Domain file can't actually be published.
    If anyone out there is experiencing the same problem please let me know.

    It's hit or miss with me. My web site is about 30 pages, and about every 4th or 5th time I publish, I get either a "Publish Error. An unknown error occurred." or something about a locked file, try again later. It usually is fixed by choosing to Publish All to .Mac and enduring the 30 minutes or so it takes to process. This last time, however, it got done with the upload (about 100MB) and looked fine. Next time I tried to update one page: bang.
    I'm publishing a blog so the situation can only get worse as pages accumulate.
    There is clearly something wrong and clearly somebody is grasping at straws trying to fix it. Until the engineers at Apple figure out what the problem is and releases a definitive patch, I think we're out of luck.
