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!

"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.

"Publishing Error" Unknown error occured.

I have just recently published a small club website. Plenty of photos.
I have tried to publish a new blog page, but have been told that there is a publishing error - Unknown error occured.
I checked my idisk and there is plenty of free space.
Is there a limit of uploads in a certain period?

To answer my own question
Install the latest version of iWeb and it works fine.
Moral of this story...
Upgrade whenever possible.

Publish error unknown message

OK, usually if you know what the problem is you can fix it! But this prompt (Publish error unknown) isn't giving me much in the way of info to fix my problem.
This has happened since the latest security download too.
Anybody else with the same error?

I've got the same problem. it started while on vacation in Ireland and thought it was the hookup i was using, but I tried at it again during a stop over on the Mainland and again once I got home in Hawaii. I still get the same unknown error message and all my picture folders are red now where before it was just the ones I had edited. Does anyone know if there is a limit on how many pictures you can have ? I know you can't upload to iWeb more than 99 photos, but what about the whole system and How do you check to see if you exceeded it. ?

Publish Error: Unknown Error -- corrupt page?

Hi, everybody --
I publish locally because I'm still building my site & am not ready to go live yet. This morning, I made some more changes to my site & when I published, I got the "Publish Error: Unknown Error" message.
Via some experimenting, I found that the problem is with one specific page - the publishing always stops with that page. If I move it to the bottom of the left-hand list of pages, the site will publish fine until it gets to that page.
Obviously, there's something wrong with that page.
Before I delete that page & re-create it, does anybody have any ideas as to what might be wrong with it?
Things I've already tried:
*) deleting the .plist file from my iWeb preferences folder
*) deleting the iWeb folder from Caches
*) moving the Domain file to the desktop, creating a new test site in iWeb, deleting the new Domain file & moving the original one back in
*) Rebooting
Any other ideas?
Many thanks!

Hello Michelle,
Good troubleshooting.
If you can publish fine with all the other pages but not with that page in the mix then I think you are on the right path, it is something with that page.
Possibilities:
- Media -- Graphics / Movies / Audio files -- If you have 1 or more "bad" files on this page that could be a source of issues. Try removing those file types and publish.
- Fonts -- A bad font file could cause issues when publishing. Try changing all the text on the page to a standard font like Arial or Helvetica.
- Backup -- Restore from a backup before this issue started with that page
Hope that helps.

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 - 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.

Publish Error (unknown error)

iWeb 3.01
So I decided to break my site into two sites after upgrading to '09. I broke a 360 page blog into a separate website. I did this by simply dragging the blog down to the new website in the navigation window. All links in the blog appeared to update and looked like they would still work. I did have to update references to the blog in the original site.
I published the original site minus the blog in two tries (which is not bad these days), but the second site will not publish. I get the dreaded unknown error. It will not publish to a local hard drive or to Mobile Me. When publishing to a local hard drive the main landing page publishes, and works, but as soon as it get to the main blog page the error comes up. When I examine the resulting site as published to a local hard drive I can get to the blog summary page, but instead of a summary there is the following text: Blog Summary Widget. This is not my text and seems to have been placed there by the build.
Any ideas?
(I don't really want to combine it all back together into one site like before because the whole iWeb experience is so buggy and fraught with problems I'd rather just keep what is working now working.)

Thanks - Yeah, I have backups. That's an interesting idea. My hypothesis is that it will be successful, at least to a hard drive, and I don't want to test it beyond that right now for obvious reasons - heck, the blog was published online until I tried to outsmart the new software so I know the blog data is good enough to work. But even if this is successful, what do we do with that information? Where is this going? (I know people don't necessarily have time to answer hypothetical questions, but I think it's a logical one.)
I actually have two MobileMe sites. I manage the other one with another computer so everything is separate - neat and clean. What I'd really like to do, now that I've pull the blog out of my more active website, is move the blog over to the other MobileMe account. That website stays pretty static and since the blog is no longer being updated I really only need it online for reference only. My idea from the beginning has been to get it away from the active site so whenever something gets stupid, as has happened recently (with iLife '09) I don't have to re-upload all those pages.
I hope all that makes sense.
Is there any way to take something like this out of one website on one MobileMe account and move it over to another website on a separate account without having to build it all from scratch?
Thanks - I will try your test above and get back about that.

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 publishes the unedited versions of my photos?

I'm using the media browser within iWeb to drag photos to my site. Everything looks fine and dandy in iWeb. These photos are coming straight out of an iPhoto album and have been edited in iPhoto. When I publish, iWeb decides to upload the unedited versions of my photos. When I view them on my site, they are the original unedited versions. When I download them from the site, I get the edited version.
Obviously I'd rather not have to export them from iPhoto and then add them to iWeb because this method should work fine.
I saw a post from someone else marked solved who said he'd rebuilt his iPhoto library and it had started working. I did this last night by holding command and option while opening iPhoto and then opting to rebuild everything. Thumbnails, database, everything.
Still not working.
Anybody else having this problem or know of anything I can do to attempt to resolve it?

I'm now 100% convinced this is a problem with iPhoto, not iWeb.
I just tried exporting some photos for deviantART upload from iPhoto and though they display properly and open up in preview looking all nice and edited, as soon as I upload them to dA, they 'revert' to the unedited original version in both Safari and FF.
And I'm using FF3 and Safari b4.
I don't think there's much I can do to troubleshoot iPhoto other than deleting the plist which I've already done.
Oh, bother.

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 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,
yoga101

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?
