IWeb site wants to download something and won't bring up website... help!
Howdy!
I'm pretty new to Mac and iWeb, but not new to web design. I created a site in iWeb that I need to launch asap. I have the domain all setup and have tested it with a test html document that I created in Dreamweaver and it worked fine.
This morning I published my iWeb site to a folder, and then uploaded the files to my web server. When I try to go to the site, it won't bring it up and asks to download a file. It makes no sense to me.
I am not publishing to a .mac account. I'm using BlueHost.com. It doesn't seem that any of the web page files that iWeb publishes to the folder are any different. They publish as .html so it seems it should work fine. Any thoughts?
The site is http://www.DOPevent.com go there and you'll see the craziness that I mean. So freakin' wierd. I'll send a support ticket to bluehost.com as well, but any help would be most appreciated. This is for an event coming up on May 10, so time is of the essence!
By the way, Mac rules.
I think this is definitely a server problem. For some reason it seems to be treating your site like php instead of html. Some servers are (mis)configured in a way that does that, but this particular behavior is a new one. Hopefully Bluehost can fix it. This note describes fixes for other cases I have seen:

I want to download something and what do i do when i have no payment card
i want to download something and its asking for a payment card but the app is free. when i download an app there is a review acount and maybe at the final step they are asking for a payment card which i don't have and i cannot skip the step. what do i do to download the app from a Macbook air 13 inches.
Hey there,
Thanks for the question. The following article may address your question:
Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366
If you want to select None and remove the payment information or credit card from your account, follow these steps.
Using an existing iTunes Store or App Store account
If you have an unpaid balance or payment due, you can't select None as your payment type. To see which order you need to pay for, view your purchase history. When you sign in to the store, you may see a message that there was a billing issue with your last order. Click the Billing Info button to see the order.
After you pay for the order, you can change your payment information to None.
Creating a new iTunes Store or App Store account
When you create a new store account or sign in with an existing Apple ID (that you haven't used in the store), you must provide a payment method. If you want to remove the payment method after you create the account, you can change your payment information to None.
If you want to create an account with a new Apple ID, follow these steps to create an account without a credit card.
Thanks,

I've had an iWeb site running for 4 months and I publish a monthly newsletter. Since August I've been unable to republish. The test connection under FTP settings works but I get an error message when I try to upload newsletter. Am I missing something?
Where are you hosting the site a what are you using to upload the site files to the server?

Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop? It pops up every single day.
Erica,
I can, with 99.99% certainty, tell you that you are absolutely right in not wanting to download or install this "Helper," whatever it is (but we can be equally certain it would not "help" anything).
I cannot comment as to Oglethorpe's recommendation of 'adwaremedic'; I am unfamiliar with it. His links to the Apple discussion and support pages warrant your time and attention.
It might be really simple -- Trying looking in your Downloads folder, trash anything that you don't know with certainty is something you want to keep, and then Secure Empty your Trash. Then remove the AdBlock extension, LastPass, and Web of Trust extensions to Safari and re-boot. If the issue goes away, still be extraordinarily careful in the future.
Unfortunately, it's probably not going to be that simple to get rid of, in which case I'd then try the line by line editing in HT203987.
I have no further suggestions (other than a complete wipe and re-install...but that's a pain because trying to restore from Time Machine would simply ... restore the Mal).
For the rest of us, please post when you find a solution.
Best.
BPW

When i want to download something it asks for a password but i didn't set one up?
i have just got a imac and when i want to download something e.g. Flashplayer it asks me for a password but i didnt set one up and i dont know what it is. Also, i cant change the password as i dont know the old one and there isnt a forgot password option what should i do? xx
Apple strongly recommends that each user have a password. If you never set one up, log into your account, and reset it. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274 for details.

What if my daughter accidentally downloads something and it charges my credit card $99.00? Can I get a refund? I deleted the app!!
Further to the other points, what you might want to do is
- first, make sure your daughter does not know your password, and change it if you suspect she does;
- second, turn off in-app purchases, and set your iPhone/iPad to require a password on every purchase. See this article:

I have mac pro and firefox 3.0.19
I am trying to download a video from youtube.?
I can see the video. I want to download it and save in my computer to see it again.
I have download helper. While the 3 red,blue,and yellow sphere are turning, It gives me the choice of place to save,and when I click and choose desktop , for example, this message comes ."Conversion requires an external application that appears to be missing on your system. Configure conversion ?
When I click on okay, another page comes, which says" converter and a box next to it . in the box is written FFMpeg. but I can change it to MEncoder. In another box, says configure conversion rules. When I click on it, nothing happen.Thanks for your help.

== I want to download a video from youtubeNo, this reply is not helpful. It simply generates this little gem:
"This service requires the conversion feature to be enabled.

And the same clicking on buttons that makes nothing happen and going around in circles with the escape key. -

Please help! I have just uploaded my iweb site to a FTP Host and most of the site is ok however a lot of the text has gone wrong! Many thanks...
Maybe you could let me know which hosting service you are using so that I can add them to my list of those NOT recommended for iWeb users!
I just dealt with one today who claimed the iWeb sites were incompatible and that the first line of code should be deleted from every HTML file before upload to their server.
They didn't even offer the information that it would be a lot easier to modify the .htaccess file never mind offer to do it for a customer.
Nobody should expect to pay for service like this and the answer is to dump them and go to a company that gives you some value and support for your money. If the ones on this page don't meet your requirements for cost and service...

I can't update my iPad to iOS7 . It keeps saying My updates are complete at iOS5 .1 . HELP!! I want to download iBooks and other apps that need the newer iOS7 .
The original iPad can't be updated past 5.1.1; you may be able to get compatible application versions by downloading them to a computer and then going to the Purchased screen on the device.

I want to download pages, it won't let me. Says it need os x 10.9 or later…I have os x 10.8.5…all updates have been done. Why is this? what can i do? Is there another pages app i can use? thanks do i need to download maverick? thanks
Pages 5 requires OSX 10.9, for some reason that only Apple knows. Many users will not be able to install Mavericks on their Macs or do not want to.
It has simultaneously removed iWork '09/Pages '09 from the App Store.
You could ask Apple why it does things like this, but it doesn't say.
If you don't already have iWork '09 I believe you can still purchase it from Amazon.

My numbers program is "STUCK". It won't download update and won't let me open any spreadsheets. Just says "installing"........ TWO DAYS NOW!! HELP!
Hi,
Shut down and reboot your iOS (press and hold the wake/sleep button and when prompted, slide to poweroff and then press and hold the wake/sleep button to reboot).
Go look what had happen with your apps. Maybe it's ok. If not, tap and hold its icon and then tap the X to delete it from your iOS device and redownload it from the app store (no charge for that).
Juste to let you know, your description state iPad2 but you are in the forum for iPod. -
