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 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 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 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: 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 - 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 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.
If you're running Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

IWeb 08 UPGRADE and now receive a "Publish Error"

I am receiving a "An unknown Error occurred" Publish Error after I upgraded to iWeb 08. I cleaned out my iDrive directory, modified my website, etc, and still receive the same error. PLEASE HELP!

I got the "Publish Error", "An unknown error occurred." message when I was publishing to a folder. I tried again and watched the progress carefully, noting that it seem to stop on a blog page. I also found this message in the console log:
2007-08-14 12:37:46.993 iWeb[359] EXCEPTION RAISED during Publish:
** Can't cache image
2007-08-14 12:37:46.993 iWeb[359] Publish error: An unknown error occurred.
I removed the image in the blog's title area and the error went away. It still works after I added it back in. I had to do this for all three blogs on my site.
I do see dozens of these other messages in console log, but nothing has broken yet (that I can tell):

I tried to implement photo albums using iweb and got a publishing error.

I tried to implement photo albums using iweb and got a publishing error. All was fine with my site until I added the photo album page. The software doesnt say what the error is exactly, only that it is a publishing error to my ftp
Exact message "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider."
If I reduce the albums inside to 1 then it seems to work but that takes away from the usefullness of multiple albums.
my iWeb version is 3.0.4 (601)

Publish your site to a folder on your hard drive to see if the publication will proceed successfully and open the site locally with your browser to confirm all of the alums are there and work. If they do 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.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
If you're still not able to publish from iWeb to your server download and use the free Cyberduck to upload your website files to the server. Users have found that CD has been successful when iWeb had problems.
