IWeb - Single Site Publishing

I have 4 websites saved in iWeb, I think I'm running iWeb 08.
When I want to publish a site to a local folder it always re-publishes all the sites instead of just the 1 I'm working on.
Is there a way of backing up a site and then re-opening it in iWeb at a later stage or is there simply a way of just publishing 1 of the sites at 1 time??
Any help, thaks?

Another option on managing the multiple sites as individual domain files is to use iWebSites. I use iWebSites to manage over 75 individual sites. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process and move it to another location on your HD until you're satisfied the separation process is completed and what you want.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

IWeb '08 Site - Published to MobileMe Account - Not Viewable by Others

I'm new to iWeb. I created a simple site with a few pages, and then "Published All" to MobileMe. When I view the site, it looks fine. When others try, they get the "Are you looking for something on MobileMe?" page. I have looked at the "site inspector" to be sure that the site is not "private".
I've been reading and reading and can't find a solution. Is there a trick to this?

I got to your site using both of those addresses.
People are probably missing a dash or missing the correct capitalizations. If any of those capitalized letters are typed in lowercase you get that "looking for something" page.
If you want people to be able to type in a simple web address to get to your site, you probably need to acquire a simpler domain name ( from Go Daddy for instance) and then point it to your mobile me account.
I have two domain names registered: www.phelpssculpture.com & www.phelpsculpture.com ( one has two s's and one has only one) these are registered with Go Daddy and point to my mobileme website:
http://web.me.com/phelpssculpture/Site/home.html
So on a business card I can put the simpler PhelpsSculpture.com and people reach my site by typing that into there web browser. The capitalization doesn't seem to matter on the GoDaddy shortened address, but it does seem to matter if you miss capitalize the mobileme address.
Hope this helps,
David

Google Analytics for iweb 09 site published to MobileMe

At one point I was able to add Google Analytics to my iweb site that's on Mobile Me. That lasted 2 days, till I republished it. I redid it twice, I thought the same way. The last time was yesterday after changing to new iweb 09 software. I published site to local disk (idisk), then went to Automator and added the Google Analytics code (UA-xxxxxxx-x) again and unchecked "Old Style Analytics Code". I saved as a new "Google Analytics plugin". Then I selected website folder on idisk through Finder. Then control-clicked (to run Google Analytics workflow) and chose the "Google Analytics plugin" from menu. After this, I went back to my site in iweb and clicked on "Publish". I assumed that it published the site in idisk, where I had added Google Analytics. But it's been over 24 hours and no results in Google Analytics.
Through Safari, I went to home page of site, then clicked View, then page source and I don't see the Google Analytics code (UA-xxxxxxx-x) shown so it didn't seem to work. I just don't know where I made a mistake. I don't think its because I changed to iweb 09 because I re-did it the same way in iweb 08 (but did not uncheck the "Old Style Analytics Code") and it didn't work then either. Can't figure out how I got it to work for two days when I first tried it.
Please help. Anyone?

It is now easier than ever. You don't need an outside application, or an automator action at all. I used to use Transmit to upload my site, since I first had to export it to a folder, then run the automator action. I again spent some time looking for how to do it for iWeb 09 and found the easiest (and therefore overlooked) way:
1. in iWeb, create an HTML snippet
2. Copy the Google Analytics code and paste into the snippet.
3. Make the box as small as it can go (although this does not really matter since nothing will display on your site)
4. Copy this snippet and go on each page on your site and paste it.
5. Publish your site.
6. It will take a little bit of time for it to show up on the Google Analyics page, so set it up, then walk aawy for a little bit.
This worked for me right away, and I no longer have to export to a folder and use an action of any kind.

Publishing a Single Site

How can I publish one single site from iWeb to my .Mac account without publishing other sites that I have on iWeb?
Help!?! : )

I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.

The A in this website does not show up in iweb only after publishing, how do I take it out?

If the server was sending UTF-8 what would this character appear as?
You can see this for yourself by going to View > Text Encoding in your browser and setting it to UTF-8. The characters will disappear. They normally represent non-break spaces. When the page is sent (or read) in Latin-1 encoding instead of UTF-8, they appear as Latin characters instead of empty space.
The different results of PageSpinner are probably because it is using some other encoding like MacRoman.
If you plug the url into this site it shows the encoding being sent by the server.

HT204053 I had Snow Leopard and was using iWeb and Filezilla for my website (not MobileMe). Wanting to move to single-click publishing, I now find it is not supported by iCloud and Mountain Lion. I feel cheated, having bought it mainly for this purpose!

The other thing they don't tell you is that Mountain Lion disables OfficeMac, and I am considering uninstalling it for that reason - do I get my money back?!

You stated; "Mountain Lion disables OfficeMac"
That is not true.
Mountain Lion does not have Rosetta so it is not capable of executing PowerPC code. If you have MS Office 2004 that is coded in PowerPC code and will not run in Mountain Lion. What you need to do is upgrade to an Intel version of Office.

Publishing error - iweb won't publish my site

I cannot get iweb 08 to publish my site. I get this error "Publishing error iWeb couldn’t connect to .Mac. Make sure your Internet connection works and try again." However, my iDisk updates just fine, so I must be connecting to .mac, right? Also, when I go to mac.com I'm able to sign in fine. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I tried that and it didn't work. It seems that the problem was caused by a quicktime video being too large. I re-rendered the video to a smaller size and it published just fine. Thanks for your suggestion. I appreciate it.

IWeb Won't Publish Sites

I've built about 4 Sites using iWeb and it is an great, intuitive tool.
Lately however, iWeb just stopped publishing updated pages to my sites.
I haven't changed any settings and I'm publishing to a .mac account.
BUT I constantly get the pop-up asking if iWeb can use my Keychain. It doesn't matter how many times I click "allow" or "always allow" it keeps asking me the same question over and over.
OR sometimes it asks me to sign into my .mac account BUT I'M ALREADY SIGNED IN!!!
All help much appreciated,
M

Hey Thanks Bkenny,
When I open keychain I don't see .mac password on the login list.
I checked on my macbook and it seems to there, so I fixed it on my macbook.
I reset keychains on my iMac and still have the iWeb problem. I hoped the latest iWeb update might have patched the problem but I couldn't be so lucky.
Thanks again for the advice, all other suggestions most welcome,
M

Where is the site publishing options located? I have iweb 09 3.04.

I was publishing to a folder, now I want to publish with FTP directly to godaddy. Watched the nifty little apple video which says to change that in the site publishing options but I don't see that in any menu.

Here's the nifty movie.
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/web/#ftp
It's at the 19 second mark. It's clearly visible.

My iDisk Storage says it's full on my Site Publishing page and won't let me publish but when I got to my account details page looking to buy more space it says I've only used 3MB out of 20GB. Why are they different? And why did it stop letting me publish?

I've been publishing just fine for the past few days and all of the sudden, when I click 'Publish Site' now, the 'content rights' pop up shows up. But then it wants me to sign into MobileMe (to which I'm already signed in). When I click 'sign in' it takes me to System Preferences > MobileMe > Account. I click on iDisk and it says "20.4 GB total, 2.7 MB used, 20.4 GB available"
(I'm not sure why my GB available is still the same even though I've used 2.7 MB.... it wouldn't really matter though if I was able to publish.)
I went back to iWeb to my Site Publishing Settings page and at the bottom there's a bar labeled 'iDisk Storage' and it's completely blue (meaning used).
I also went to my MobileMe account to 'Summary' and under 'Mail and iDisk Storage' it says '3 MB of 20 GB used'.
I'm assuming that it's not letting me publish because it thinks that I have run out of iDisk storage but I could be wrong. I just renewed my MobileMe account in Feb so I'm all payed up.. that shouldn't be the problem. Do you know of any other reasons why it won't let me publish?
I feel like something is wacky with my iDisk Storage either way.
I really hope all of this stuff makes sense. I'm fairly new to Mac and I'm still not sure about all of the lingo.
Thank you for any advice you can give! Any suggestions will be MUCH appreciated!!

Try the following:
close iWeb.
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.
reboot.
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.

Can't open file "~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites"

I was working on iWeb today, doing the usual adding pictures, and gave a few pages some color, and a few pictures here and there.
I restart my computer, because as usual, I almost have no memory left. When the computer is running again, I opened iWeb, and I get this odd message:
Can't open file "~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites"
Why is this here? I didn't do anything weird to trigger such message. The site was working perfectly fine! I tried taking the domain file to the desktop, then opening it once iWeb launches from there, and same message appears. I put it back to its place, and tried putting the iWeb plist on the desktop, and same deal!
Everything is back in its place, I haven't changed or triggered anything to deserve this. I ran Onyx, full optimization update. I restarted computer, and conducted a full disk permission repairs. Only 1 error found out of another app.
My computer is healthy, my programs are running fine. What is going on? Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Hi
Whaow 3.1GB. I'm sure iWeb has problems with that. I have the same problem with my iWeb. I have about 100 BLOG pages with a lot of pictures. Although iWeb scales the pictures when publishing (good!) it does not scale them when they are stored in the domains file/dir (bad!) So if you have an 8MP camera, this adds up after a while.
You can open the comains file and try to figure out what causes the trouble. (Right click/CTRL click, open content) sort on size to see if you have some extremely large stuff in there (Movies???) Take them out and try to make them smaller.
Good luck!!

What happens to iweb-built site when I upgrade from Leopard (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.3), and subsequently upgrade to 10.6.8 or even 10.7? Will fonts stay the same? Will layout change? Or anything else change? Thanks

What happens to iweb-build site when I upgrade from Leopard (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.3) and subsequently update that to 10.6.8 or even to 10.7? Evidently iweb has been discontinued. I have version 3.0.3 of iweb now but understand that there's been an update for OS 10.6 so same question goes for this update.
Will fonts change? Will layout change? Will widgets still work? Links? Will Google Analytics PlugIn still work?
(Since MobileMe is disappearing, I now save iweb site to local folder on my computer, then upload it to GoDaddy using Cyberduck. I run Google Analytics plug in on folder before its uploaded.)
My computer, MacBook Pro came with iweb, which has been updated to 3.0.3. Since iweb is discontinued, will upgrade of operating system just ignore iweb so that iweb will run the same as before? Or will it wipe it out? Or change how it currently works (questions above).
Thanks

As you now know iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
NOTE: the iLife 11 boxed version Is no longer available at the online Apple Store. To get a copy you'll have to try Amazon.com or eBay.com.

In iweb changes not publishing

Since changing from mobileme server to ftp server, changes to website made in iweb do not publish?

If you are uploading your website files using the iWeb FTP, any old, existing files should get overwritten automatically. Try switching to another browser like Google Chrome or Firefox to view your site.
To find the file manager you need to login to your hosting account.
You can use the freeware Cyberduck to upload files and manage files on the server but it doesn't allow you to view the files on your Mac in the same window as the ones on the server...

Help! My iweb won't publish through my hosting company!

I have been bounced back and forth between my host and apple support re:iweb publishing and html codes that can't be added but need to in order for my server/host to be able to publish.....this is what my hosting company last sent me....
We were not able to do a perminate fix for all of the server for customers using iweb, since making it workable for you it causes problems for other people that are hosted with us as well. You will just have to remove that line of code from the top of your page
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
This code is not compatible with most to all hosting providers, if you decide to cancel and go with another host please check out MobileMe through the Apple Network. From my research they provide the best support for iWeb Application.

Has anyone else ran into this issue? If so what do I do now? I am not able to add HTML code changes to iWeb. HELP!!
Thanks,
BeadzBabe

Well, no, you won't be able to edit code in iWeb itself, because there is nothing to edit - the code is not produced until you publish your site, so you need to publish your site to a local folder and then you will be able to edit the code by using either TextEdit or TextWrangler.
I think you should just ditch your present host and go and sign up for a hosting account with either GoDaddy or HostExcellence. A lot of people on the forum use both these hosting companies and have no problem loading iWeb created sites - they do not seem to have a problem where you need to alter code before you can publish.

Trouble with iweb SEO tool publishing to FTP address

Trying to publish using SEO tool to my FTP address and nothing happens in the status bar. I selected the folder to upload and choose the right server folder but no go. Any suggestions. Do I need to go on my host and clear out the publishing folder first? Also, do people recommend iWeb SEO tool over iMAP? I know SEO is free so I am trying that first. I use I tweak to add in google analytics so not sure how that works with SEO tool? Do I need to run iTweak and then iWeb SEO then publish? Thanks again.

I just tested it with a section of a website and it uploaded fine. Its going to depend on the size of your site files.
Are you using the latest V 1.3?
It's the first time I've tested the built in FTP as I usually add the meta stuff and then optimize before uploading. It doesn't seem to take any longer than the other FTP applications I use.
