IWeb Publishing Issues

Don't get me wrong fellow Apple gurus....but why am I always having issues utililizing Apple goods. It would be a PERFECT WORLD if the whole world was all about the fruit......BUT THEY'RE NOT. The iWeb 3.0.3 update DID fix alot of previous issues but now there are different issues. It's fantastic that it's easy to use, GUI friendly and almost makes it easy to look like a professional when your a novice, BUT and I mean a BIG BUT.... if the rest of the world cannot interpret this design with ease, pro yet not look?.....then Apple, but most of all OURSELVES, look like a chumps. Your Site may look AWESOME on some browsers, yet why does it NOT look so savy on the most common such as Explorer or the Mac friendly browsers like Firefox???? I'm sure a lot more peeps are having issues and I would love to hear your SOLUTIONS and hopefully they can solve mine. The past few versions of the iWeb Software, I've been experiencing double image on my png files. I've also noticed that attributes I give my to my png files through iWeb such as a simple drop shadow, will display the drop shadow on the dimensions of the file itself. I hope I explained my dilemma depictively. If you have answers to my probs, please share as well as your own. I would almost worship you like a god! I'm NOT jumping ship on the Apple boat, but sometimes it can be quite frustrasting. You may get comfortability and ease with the "fruit" but sometimes on the tail end it comes with a cost.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Apart from using Preview there are a few apps around that will add interesting effects to images prior to adding them to a web page...

IWeb Publishing issues MobileMe/iCloud/GoDaddy Updates

Hello -
I am hoping someone can provide me some insight.
I previously created a website via iWeb and had it hosted via my MobileMe account. With the new IOS and iCloud updates (and being that I can no longer host through MobileMe), I have transfered hosting over to GoDaddy. I logged into MobileMe and deleted the domain, and have ensured everything is correct on the GoDaddy side of things (DNS nameservers, deletion of the old site/file folders, etc.).
Here is the current issue:
I am receiving this message when attempting to pull up the site: "To view this page, you must log in to area “me.com” on melissafoerster.com:80."
I am confused and am not sure what else I need to do to publish my revised site. Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your support.
I have disabled the personal domain via MobileMe.
I have deleted the CNAME record via the domain provider.
And am currently waiting for the changes.
I know that this is not an iWeb issue or an iCloud issue. I will say though that because my MobileMe account expires in June and because the MobileMe settings have changed with the iCloud addition, I will no longer be able to publish there as of June and currently cannot make changes. Just being proactive and making updates to my site now, makes me have to publish to a different provider.
Thank you for your help.

IWeb publishes updates but does not upload in the FTP

HELP!
I have a 'tried-tested-true' website that's been on the internet for 10 years. It's been updated over the years but needed much more as of today.
The updates perfectly publish within iWeb [3.0.4]. The FTP uploads the site, but when I check it on the internet [Safari 6.2.3], the former version appears.
I proceeded to troubleshoot by renaming the website and re-mounting the pages. Also, renaming the pages, but after several attempts of uploading each newer version, all efforts were to no avail. It has taken me a full day without results. That is, the original website remains on the internet, which is very outdated.
I have run out of troubleshooting ideas. All of my other websites have not had this problem. There was an issue this week with the ISP Domain Host services not connecting my site. I contacted them, but have had no response. However, I thought I would try connecting again today in case they sorted out their connectivity issues. I am able to connect to their server. I have good reason to believe the FTP is uploading the updated directory files, but for some reason when it comes to viewing the site on the internet, au contraire.
Not sure if this is an iWeb problem or my ISP domain hosting services having issues with connectivity. Whatever, it is very perplexing to me as to what to do next after the extensive amount of time I have taken troubleshooting.
I repeat myself when I say, 'HELP!'

Okay, I understand what you are referencing. I am publishing my websites to the path of 'Users'-Documents-Website Documents.
Below is a screen shot of the folder my Websites are located. Is this what you are referencing? It is Site 2 that is having issues with uploading to the domain host server of my ISP. All the other sites have been uploaded successively.
I use FileZilla as my FTP server and it has been excellent. I have tried CyberDuck, et al. FZ works perfectly well indicating all that one needs to know while uploading. If my other websites were causing the same issues, then it would mean FTP issues.
However, I believe I am on the same track you are referencing with regards to my published website is in the appropriate location on my HD. I stand to be corrected.
I believe by my contacting the Forum and reading your information that I am following protocol as I have always done with my 4 websites that upload properly. As I continue the discussion, it is becoming evident the issue is with the Domain Host server, which is not a problem to post on this Forum.
However, I posted my issue just in case it was an iWeb issue or my not following protocol correctly to publish a website. From what I am gleaning with your information, I am following protocol. Repeating myself when I say it appears to be the aforementioned server. I have contacted them again about their Domain Host server but no response as yet.
If what I am presenting to you is the correct protocol I have in place at my end, I thank you for taking the time to assist me. By doing so, I believe I will be able to determine it is not an iWeb publishing issue [mostly because all my websites are not experiencing this problem], nor is it the FTP server,FileZilla, but the Domain Host Server.
As mentioned above, here is the folder where my websites are located.
I so appreciate your assistance.

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?

IE Scolling/Lag issues with IWeb Published Site

Has anyone had any issues with scrolling/lag with Internet Explorer on an iWeb published site? I have a site that runs great on Firefox and safari but terrible on Internet Explorer. I'm thinking it may be the template/design i used?
Anyone every seen this? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
JC

I've only ever used the Modern Frame, so I can't say if there would be a performance issue using a different template. I have about three pictures on each page.
I noticed on your site that you're using the "reflection" effect on some of your pictures. Just for the purpose of testing, perhaps you could try turning off that effect and then re-uploading your site to see if that is causing some of the problem? I believe the reflection is rendered using javascript code, which may be causing the poor performance in IE. If that does turn out to be the problem, you can decide whether it's worth it to keep the effect or not.
By the way, I don't get that same error message in IE when I open your Videos page. Maybe it's caused by a security setting in your IE being set at a more restrictive level?

HT4597 what will be the new alternatives for iWeb publishing, Idisk & photo gallery ?

what will be the new alternatives for iWeb publishing, Idisk & photo gallery ?

Thanks for the reply that there will be 3rd party support.
One of the main reasons why I went from PC to Mac was because of all these cool features.
Am dissapointed to see them leave. ( Iweb, Photogallery, Idisk... )

IWeb published old photo names... will not update

I am having a problem with the photo pages. When I first built a photo page I used images whose file names were too long. When iWeb published the files the names became corrupted and would not display.
I can't get iWeb to forget the original file names...
I have re-named, deleted, re-imported, changes the file size, and made all the changes I can think of to get the photos to be seen as new images. No luck.
Every time iWeb publishes the site it uses the "historic" names for the files.
Any ideas? I'm about to delete the entire site and start over... but I would rather not do it that way. Who knows, that might not even work!
Thanks!

I've also had that problem - real headache
Here's a fix (in princple) :
Within iWeb delete the photos you don't want from the page.
Save "command-s"
Quit iWeb
Before re-opening iWeb go and check the 'Domain' 'package' - this is where iWeb stocks the ressources and assets for you as 'user' :
user/library/application support/iWeb/Domain
Click right to show hidden package contents (I use French Tiger so don't know if that's the right command name but you get what I mean).
Here you'll see all the files/images etc you have used in any of your sites/pages.
In principal when you save in iWeb the Domain gets updated and should throw out any images you deleted from your iWeb page - so those 'old' files should no longer exist.
I think what you may have been doing is deleting images from the page and NOT SAVING that change. In principal Publishing to a folder or .Mac constitues a 'save' but I'm not convinced that the two have the same effect on the Domain.
I actually binned directly from the Domain once but I've read elsewhere that tampering there might cause probs.
Hope that gives you some insight.

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.

Problems with iWeb publishing to MobileMe

Hi,
Did you have some problems since about four days on publishing with iWeb to MobileMe? In my case, when I publish my site - and I made just little changes - iWeb publish ALL the pages.
I early had this same problem, this spring, and it was a MobileMe problem; Apple just made a little update to the server and it was ok.
I'm using iWeb'09
Thanks

With a lot of media content have you considered other ways of adding movies or audio tracks that only require you uploading those file manually once and then linking to them. For movies this demo page has one possible method: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. This demo page has 7 movies added that way. They don't load until the play button is selected. PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes
For audio you can use flash players or a flash jutebox. Roddy's site, iWeb for Musicians, has examples and how-to's for both. See the following pages: Music Players and the following 3 pages after it. See the Next Page button at the bottom.
I've got a couple of flash players on my demo page: Music Players.
There are many alternatives to having to load all the media each time you republish.

HOW TO PUBLISH YOUR WEBSITE ..FROM IWEB ..WHEN I USE TO USE MOBILE ME .. BUT NOW THERE IS NO MOBILE ME BECAUSE OF ICLOUD, AND ICLOUD DOESN'T SUPPORT IWEB PUBLISHING?

HOW TO PUBLISH YOUR WEBSITE ..FROM IWEB ..WHEN I USE TO USE MOBILE ME .. BUT NOW THERE IS NO MOBILE ME BECAUSE OF ICLOUD, AND ICLOUD DOESN'T SUPPORT IWEB PUBLISHING?

When MobileMe goes down the drain, you will need to move your website to standard hosting. Depending on your site size, I recommend A Small Orange, as the Tiny hosting plan they have is big enough for most iWeb sites and much cheaper then shelling out $6 a month for most of the other big names, and if you check out their forum, several of the members have coupon codes in thier signatures. Also, their customer service is great and very fast in getting back to you.
To upload, I publish the iWeb site to a folder, then using Cyberduck upload it to the host. Cyberduck beats iWeb's FTP uploader because Cyberduck only replaces updated pages, instead of uploading the entire site.
I hope this helps!

IWeb publishes, but there is no change to the site on .MAC

I have had a recent problem, where i apply changes in iWeb, publish them successfully (according to the program) and then try and visit them to find an unchanged site.
How do I trouble shoot this?

Hi
My URL for my home page is http://web.mac.com/martinzimelka/iWeb/homepage
I've put a screen-shot on a download page of mine of how the "homepage" should look like
http://homepage.mac.com/martinzimelka/FileSharing5.html
I have deleted the iWeb folder contents on the iDisc, and then had iWeb publish the whole thing again.
Still the http://web.mac.com/martinzimelka/iWeb/photography link and the
http://web.mac.com/martinzimelka/iWeb/homepage show the old pages.

Folio Producer fails to update older published issues

A client wants me to update an advertisement in several past issues including issues published in January and February 2012.
I updated the article in the folio and go to the Folio Producer to update the published issue, but either immediately get a failed attempt or it will process up to 20% before failing. I have tried publishing multiple times and it constantly fails.
Has anyone else come across this problem?
Why can't I update?

What do you see when you click the 'Failed' link. There should be an error message there.

.mac and iWeb Publishing

Recently I subscribed a .mac trial account because I wanted to try iWeb and iPhoto 6 Photocasting.
When I publish a webpage from iWeb to .Mac, it'll pop up the login window, asking me to login. I clicked the login button and i typed my .mac account information. I tried to publish again and the same thing happens (.Mac account said my password is valid)
When I select an album and share by photocasting in iPhoto, it says I haven't set up my account (again, I input info. in my .mac settings already).
What's going on? Trial account won't work with iLife?
But I can use my iDisk... that's so weird...
What's wrong?

(I posted this in both iWeb, iPhoto and .Mac sections. Posted on .Mac section about 2 weeks ago)

This is strange. During the slow run of the iWeb publish, I pulled up network tools and did a traceroute. It very slowly did its thing and came up with the a route to idisk.mac.com. Shortly thereafter, iWeb suddenly started uploading at a reasonable (for iWeb) speed. Any idea if this could be related to my running of traceroute?

Why won't iweb publish any new changes to my website?
