IWeb site looks completely different when published compared to on iWeb...

For whatever reason, whenever I publish my website (I published it to a "local folder"), it looks completely different and VERY ugly.
This is what it looks like in iWeb right now:

This is what it looks like when it's published:
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/WWEFreak69/Screenshot2011-03-22at33817PM.jp g
There's an obvious difference.
So what am I doing wrong?

For one thing there are many files that did not get uploaded to the server. You can see which by viewing your site in Safari and bringing up the Activity window (Command+Option+A).
The pages where the navbar is down the site appear to have much of the site's objects in the navbar section rather than the body of the page. Go to the iWeb preferences and check the checkbox to show guides and image indicator.

The design link on the home page is inoperable. Did you intend to have just the text be the link for the hyperlinks on that page or also the image that each text box is on? Makes for a very small link to find.

Question - Y do my fonts look slightly different when publish site to .mac?

I've created a website on iWeb but when i publish it and view it in safari the fonts look slightly different. It's hard to explain but they basically just look worse. Can anyone let me know why this might be and how i could fix this problem. Thanks in advance.

Quit iWeb, go to Home Folder/Library/Preferences and delete the file com.apple.iWeb.plist.
Restart your Mac, launch iWeb and republish.
You should really convert any text done in "copperplate" to an image. Otherwise it will be converted to an (ugly) alternative on any computer that doesn't have this font installed.

Static text in textfields renders differently when published in CS4/CS5

Hi
I am experiencing an issue where legacy files I created in Flash CS4 look different when published in CS5. Fonts are rendered differently. I have noticed it so far on DIN and Goudy Modern. The output when published in is CS5 is markedly different than the output when published in CS4.
Can anyone offer any pointers on how to think about, deal with, avoid etc.
Many thanks.
Mike
UPDATE
A little more logic to add.
It seems to be opening the file in CS5 changes the fonts somehow. CS4 files that I have not opened in CS5 publish as I would expect in CS4. CS4 files that I have opened in CS5 publish differently whether then published in CS5 or CS4. On Goudy for example. In CS5 adding .5 to the character spacing and 3.5 (not 2) to the line spacing makes the font render similarly in CS5 as it did in CS4 at 0 character spacing and 2 on the line height.

Yes. It's static. I recreated the text and now it works. Weird.
Thank you for your reply and time.

My macbook pro crashed and the hard drive was replaced. How do I restore my backup pre- 9.6 iphoto library to the 9.6.1 iphoto library? They look completely different.

My macbook pro crashed and the hard drive was replaced. How do I restore my backup pre- 9.6 iphoto library to the 9.6.1 iphoto library? They look completely different. When I look at my backed-up iphoto library folder I see lots of files and folders: ALbumData.xml, Attachments folder, etc. The 9.6.1 iphoto library doesn't appear to be a folder at all. Help!

iPhoto 6 and earlier libraries were regular folders with the kind of files your reporting. With the advent of iPhoto 7 the library folder was changed to a package similar to the application packages but have essentially the same files and folders inside. There's no reason to have access to the inside of the iPhoto Library so Apple changed them to packages.
Do you have a backup copy of the iPhoto Library from before the HD crash. If so restore it to the Pictures folder in your Home folder. If you previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 or earlier download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on your library before trying to open it with iPhoto 9.6.1.

My Adobe Photoshop looks completely different. How did it change from what I am used to using?

My photoshop elements looks totally different from what I have been using. How can I find the simplier version I am used to?

When did the version change to 10?   I used it in March and it was the one I was used to. It was much simplier. Is there another Adobe Photoshop besides Elements?

Hold down the CtrlShiftAlt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. After a few seconds release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Alternatively hold down the three keys whilst clicking on the desktop icon for the Editor or PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Programs folder. Keep holding down all three keys for a few seconds; then release. You should get the settings option. When you see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File? Click on Yes Then wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences.

I bought a Mac Mini for the family but there's something very odd. Windows looks completely different and I'm completely confused. Is this because of Windows 8? How do I get back to my old Windows!

Windows looks completely different and we can't use the computer. We're flumoxed, we did some research and read about this new version of Windows - is this the problem? Is there a way to revert to the older version of Windows? Apple has shot themselves in the foot with this change. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Macs don't come with Windows. They come with OS X. If you want Windows, you'll need to install it yourself, or return the Mac and buy a PC.

Site deleted on MobileMe when publishing another

I split off a couple of my sites from my domain file (manually by duplicating it) to move them to a spare account in my MM Family Pack, which worked fine. Then I split off my Welcome page for all my sites, which I keep in a site of its own, as I got fed up with being sent there first when visiting after editing my main photo website. When I published that site from iWeb (I'd redone it for the moved sites), I discovered that my main photo site had completely gone from iWeb - I checked my iDisk and all the folders had definitely gone - so I had to copy the contents of the Welcome page onto a new site and page in the same domain file as my photo pages and do a 'publish all' to bring it back.
Now, since then I've been playing around with split versions of the other 2 sites on another spare account and found that publishing one site from one domain, and even 'publish all', doesn't delete the other site published from another domain file.
So, was I just unlucky with what happened the first time? I would really like the Welcome page site to be separate for the reason I give above, though it's not vital, and everything I've read seems to point to this being possible.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You don't need more than one MobileMe account to publish multiple sites. Each site will have it's own URL which is:
http://web.me.com/yourMMe_account_name/sitename.
If you plan on using the other accounts for hosting the other site(s) I suggest you create a new account on your Mac for each MMe account you plan to use. You can enable fast user switching in the System/Accounts preferences pane so you don't have to log out and back in to change accounts.
In the System/MobileMe preference pane for the other accounts enter the other MMe account information to make publishing from iWeb automatic.
If you would prefer to use just your one account to manage the multiple sites I suggest you use iWebSites. Launch it and it will check your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder for any existing domain files, i.e. web sites. You can use iWS to create a new domain file, name it for the new site and open it. Now all you have to do is create your new site and publish it.
When you get ready to have GoDaddy.com forward the domain name for the second site you use the http://web.me.com/yourMMe_account_name/sitename URL to forward to. A MMe account can have only one site using the CNAME method of domain name forwarding. The others need to use the "old" method. This screenshot shows how to configure a site for forwarding at GoDaddy *without the CNAME method*.

Why does my color look so different in CS5 compared to CS4?

Hi everyone,
I am currently working on a document in InDesign CS5...have placed some CMYK artwork that I created in Photoshop CS5. All of my color settings are synchronized. Why does the color in the artwork look SO different compared to Photoshop? If I place the same artwork into InDesign CS4, everything matches as it should (once again, all applications use the same color settings/are synchronized).
I am completely baffled...what am I missing? Is there another setting I have missed out on within InDesign?
Thank you,
Christine

Okay....you are not going to believe this!! Perhaps this is a bug or perhaps this is a one-time-mystery-of-the-unexplained thing.
I went into my desktop version of CS5 and loaded completely different color settings...pressed okay, then went BACK straight away and reloaded my usual [custom] color settings and all suddenly looked PERFECT. [I am going to have to verify this when I go into work tomorrow as I just tested via remote login so am looking at things via my macbook screen. The color difference was VERY noticeable at first between the two ID versions on my desktop so I was able to easily tell. Now they look the same.
All in all, than you SO much for your help (so this was *not* a waste of time). All this troubleshooting really helped me a lot as to what to look for in future similar instances.

Font is different when published

I published my site. I didn't like the bold look of some of the fonts so I changed the font and made a couple of other changes. The site then looked the way I wanted before re-publishing publishing.
I then re-published but the fonts are still look bold when I log on to the site. How can I correct this?

Some of those tips really helped - especially turning the text into a graphic - but how do you do it on blog summaries/Album names or on navigation titles? (put the 5% shadow on?). I love iweb but was very dissapointed with the fonts turning to bold versions. I have been a grpahic designer for years and am glad I could do web stuff because of iweb - so a small thing like it looking BOLD when published bummed me out! Anyone know how to edit/add shadow to the aforementioned elements? Thanks in advance....

Fonts don't look the same when published...

why is it when i publish my site to a folder the fonts on some pages do not appear the same as they show in iweb...
i have 8 pages...
home page looks fine just as in iweb...
the remaining pages have a bolder font and doesn't look nice...
i have checked and double checked every page and all fonts are the same...
helvetica size 15...
why is this happening...?
what can i do...?

In iWeb click on +Help > iWeb Help+. In the pane that opens you'll see a search bar in the upper right corner. Copy & paste the following into it:
If text or a shape gets converted to a graphic
...and hit Enter. That same phrase should appear in the resulting list of +Help Topics+. Double-click it.
Follow the steps outlined under +"To identify items that will be converted to graphics when published:"+
...Do yellow badges appear on the text you're having problems with? If so, your text is being converted to graphics — to view the fonts least likely to be converted, click the Fonts button in the lower-right corner. In the Font panel under Collections, click Web.
On the other hand, if yellow badges don't appear then this may apply:

Hi , can someone please help me figure out why my site looks sooooo different in Chrome and I.E??

Hello and thank you for the time.
Here is my site in question. I've been redesigning things lately ... and checked it out in Chrome and I.E. (haven't checked out the other browsers yet) and the color schemes look extremely different on my end. I am at a loss for why this is.
http://prodigypianostudios.com
I am not even an amateur by any means ... I really suck at designing and this is hard for me. So please be gentle in technical language
Thanks for the help Oh great wizards of CSS and HTML !!
And just to add - The color schemes in I.E. were actually colors I used in dreamweaver but I changed them to the colors that are showing in Chrome. Chrome is the one I want and I.E. is being difficult. I can't find in my code where I could possibly have multiple colors selected as background colors.

When you have layout problems, the first place to go is to the W3 validator. I say this because it make no sense to chase a layout issue when you know your page contains HTML that doesn't validate. Unfortunately, your page does not validate -
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fprodigypianostudios.com%2F&charset=%28detec t+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
Most of those errors are simple fixes - you have been pretty sloppy about making sure that tags are properly closed, and your table structure is a tad hinky. See if you can fix these first.

Muse site not displaying correctly when 'Published' to BC

Hi all
Strange incidents happening with a Muse site I'm designing for a client. When I use the Publish feature (which uploads the site to the default Business Catalyst domain you get with the Muse subscription) it throws the elements all over the place, so buttons, type, imaegry and widgets aren't wheere they should be.
I've cleared the cache, restarted the browser, tried in other browsers and still the same result, so pretty unhappy.
When I 'Preview' the site in a browser everything seems perfect.
Bizarre thing is when designing my first ste the opposite was the case; lots of visual problems when using 'Preview' but perfect when 'Published' to BC.
Anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening?
All help appreciated

Hi gaurav
Thanks for the reply, think we have the solution. Apparantly Muse is not uploading the updated CSS files. I created a test domain on my own website to use for this project and uploaded via Fetch and everything worked fine.
So it looks like it's an issue with Muse

Continue / Retake Quiz buttons act differently when Publishing in SWF vs SWF/HTML5

Hi, I use Captivate 7 and when I compare what I publish as SWF/HTML5 with SWF only it seems that there are 2 issues with the SWF/HTML5 site on Chrome (also on Safari)
Issue 1
I have 1 quiz on a course and I have set the Quiz setting to require a Pass to continue. I put the "Retake" Quiz button over the "Continue" button so it covers the continue if the person fails and will show the continue button only if the person passes. (I had also changed the Caption on the Continue button to say Print Certificate)
This works when I publish the course as SWF only. When I publish as SWF/HTML5 and view on Chrome/Safari then when the person fail it seems that the "continue" button still shows and makes the "retake quiz button" transparent or behind the continue button. If the person passes then it works fine.
Issue 2
In the same example if click the "continue" button several time it the website continues even though the person had failed
Not sure if anyone has found this an issue or has a better way for not making the Continue button to appear if the person has failed.
My objective was that there was a Certificate document after the quiz and if the person passes then they can go get the Certificate. If they fail then they cannot go tto the next slide to get the certificate. Maybe there is a better way to do this ?
thanks
Hatim

OMG, just checked it out and you are right: the Review button appears always on top of the Retake button. Please, log a bug report, will do as well. This is really very annoying because the terminology can be confusing,
For SWF I found a workaround: change the stacking order in the Results Master slide, send the Review button Back. That seems to work. But for HTML5-output, no way... Review is always on top of Retake. I also played with unchecking, and rechecking but cannot find a solution.

Pictures look completely different in Aperture

I shoot with a Pentax K200D with RAW+JPEG using the PEF format for RAW files. I then use Apple Aperture to edit the files, but I recently noticed that pictures converted to jpeg using aperture looke very different from the PEF files when viewed side by side.

Like RWB I am a bit confused by your query, but my guess is that you may at some point be comparing files derived from RAW PEF captures against captured JPEGs. In addition to being compressed, captured JPEGs have typically been heavily adjusted in-camera for color, sharpness, etc. Prior to editing, files derived from RAW captures will appear flat in comparison to such files.

I am using CC v17.1 on a PC. I have recently taken over design responsibilities from someone who used a Mac. I need to use the Cygnet Round font, but it looks completely different on my PC than it did on the Mac.

I am wondering if fonts look different on a PC than a Mac. The font I am using is Cygnet Round, and it is completely different on my PC. I am at a loss....
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
