IWeb upgrade??

The new iLife is great but....something is missing. Where is the missing iWeb upgrade?
Is Apple working on a new web authoring program to replace iWeb...something that will
knock the socks off anything out there? Well, here is hoping! In the meantime...anyone
have suggestions or recommendations?
Thanks to everyone!

Along with iDVD, iWeb was not upgraded as part of iLife 11.
Nobody knows for sure, but do a search of this forum and there were lots of posts regarding this at the time iLife 11 was released. You'll get lots of post on the topic.

Photo pages don't show photos after iWeb upgrade

I loaded the upgrad yesterday for my 08 iWeb and now the photos that I published prior to upgrade don't show up on my site. Strangely, the Album page shows the photos in each album, but when I click into the photo page itself, no photos are visible and also the "index, play slideshow, subscribe" don't work either. Any new photo page I created after the upgrade looks fine. Everything looks clean in iWeb software itself. Photos don't show up on the site. What's up with this? Thanks for the answers.

Mine is doing the exact same thing - thought the update would solve the issue. The drop down menu says there are missing fonts, then it tells me to put the photos on the page again, which is ridiculous. iWeb '06 to '08 is the problem as anything added to it since upgrading to the latter works fine. Apple won't seem to acknowledge that they've introduced incompatible software, which is more like the doings of Microsoft.

IWeb upgrade concerns.

When I upgraded from iWeb 07 to 08, the process created a whole new web site. I'm thinking about going to 09, but absolutely DO NOT want that hassle again. Any thoughts?

Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
3 - reboot.
4 - launch iWeb and see if the domain file will open properly.
If that doesn't help continue:
5 - move the domain file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
6 - launch iWeb, create a new test site and save.
7 - go to the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
8 - move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
9 - launch iWeb and try again.

Iweb menu bar

i've created a pretty cool website using iweb. i've really customized it by using layers to cover the template and create my own look, however, i cannot figure out how to change the color or the font of the default fonts on the menu bar or how to place a layer behind the words to change the color of the page itself. can this be done or do i need to wait for an iweb upgrade?

you don't have to cover up the background
you can simply change it from the inspector, and objects from the templet you can just delete. if you want things to go behind one another
1. right click, or ctrl-left click
2. send to back, to front or whatever.
3. choose what you like

I cant create new web-site

hello,
i downloaded some iWeb templates and installed them. they work so far.
but since i added those templates i cant do several things:
-i cant create a blank web-site
-i cant create any web-site with my other user accounts
i got 3 users on my mbp. only 1 user allows me to create new web-sites. if i log in with another user (i also tried to create a new user) then i only get a grey + in the lower left corner of my iWeb. grey means i cant click it.
i deleted iweb preferences already. what else can i do to solve that?
is it a good idea to delete iweb from aplication folder and install it again? is there a full installer?
thx 4 any help, ichi

Can you do this in some user accounts and not others, as the case for the original poster, or is this a problem across the board?
If all the controls are greyed out, the easiest potential fix is to open iPhoto, select some pictures/and or an album there and click on the iWeb button at the bottom of the iPhoto window. This should "force" iWeb to create a photo page.
It that doesn't work, you will need to try to download one of the iWeb upgrades. Which version of iWeb are you using?

G4 to G5

Hello
I have made a web site on my old G4 using iLife 06 which works well. I now want to use my G5 using iLife 08 to update and maintain my web site. Do I just move the domain folder from my G4 onto my G5, if so where do I put it.
Mike

Further update. I checked in iWeb\domain. sites and noticed that there were two domain sites, the one I placed in from my G4 and a second site. No matter which one I clicked on iWeb opened to attempt to build a new site. I removed the second domain to the desk top and my web page opened. iWeb upgraded my web site and now I think its working correctly. I will try a few changes before mark the topic as answered, had to change to back to unanswered once already.

Since Apple is no longer providing MobileMe, and since my version of iWeb only has the option of publishing to mobile me (the "upgrade" eleviated the "publish to folder" option), how do I publish my web page to a remote host?

I used to have an amazing home page that I used with my students:
http://hansen.osd.wednet.edu/media/hansen/msamson/MrSamsonHome/Home.html
The school district "UPGRADED" to the new operating system. iWeb, which I have been using for years, no longer supports my ability to publish to the district server. Apple thought it wise to force us to use MobileMe. Furthermore, Apple decided that MoblieMe is no longer unavailable. To add insult to injury, the new version of iWeb doesn't even have a "save to folder" option any more. In other words, I can no longer use iWeb.
Am I totally screwed?
Is there another way to publish my site?
Will Apple make me purchase yet another "upgrade"?
Is this a total rip off?
Mr. Samson
ps. As a loyal Apple customer (since 1982), I find these antics very frustrating.

I suggest you upgrade to the latest iWeb version while copies are still availalbe: iLife '11 - Apple Store (U.S.). That's because it's now confirmed that 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.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
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: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
In addition the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on.
HOWEVER, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still currently available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those copies still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.

I upgraded from iWeb '06 to iWeb '09-now I can't publish to a folder

I'm having 2 issues after upgrading from a powerbook G4 running Tiger with iWeb '06 to a macbook pro running Snow Leopard with iWeb '09. I migrated my website created with iWeb '06 over to iWeb '09 and I'm having 2 issues.
1. Every page in the website brings up a window that says "The following errors occurred while trying to open this document: Type: Substituted Font; Description: The font "Arial-BoldMS" was substituted for..."
Then it says "To include missing fonts, add them to your fonts folder, then quit and reopen iWeb."
This happens every time I open iWeb, even after I click "Continue" in the dialogue box. Where can I find the font that is being replaced--it doesn't list it in the dialogue window. And how can I download it to add to my fonts folder?
2. When I try to "Publish Entire Site" or "Publish Site Changes," a dialogue window pops up saying "Publish Error: Can't create the file "index.html." The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges."
I am the administrator user, so that's not the issue. I have over 300 GBs of free disk space, so that's not the issue. The disk is not damaged because everything else is working just fine.
I am not familiar with the way iWeb '09 publishes. In iWeb '06, when I selected "Publish to a folder" from the File drop down window, it brought me to a screen in order to select a folder to which to publish. That feature is gone in iWeb '09, with the "Publish entire site" and "Publish site changes" taking its place, but I don't see where it has options to configure FTP or even input where you want your site to go and what domain name it is. How do I direct iWeb to publish the site to a folder or upload it to my Godaddy.com web host?
Thanks for your help.

For the font problems, try the "Safe Mode" suggestion in this old thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1956989&start=20

Domain file does not open my iWeb websites after upgrading to Mavericks

I just upgraded to mavericks so i could use Media Composer to edit my new movie.
I backed up my computer and saved my domain file (which is over 1 gig large, as it has several websites I manage)
I went back to my original CD of iLife and re-installed iWeb
I then copied my backup of my domain file onto the library>application support>iWeb folder
iWeb program opens
but my website and their pages/files do not show on the left hand menu.
I have read on here that i need iWeb 09 (version 3.0) instead of iWeb 08 (version 2.0) but I cannot find such version in the apple website
When I check for upgrades it looks like my iWeb 2.0 (from my iLife 08) is the latest version.
Can someone help?
In the icon of the domain file which I backed up I see an image of the last page I updated before my back up.
I am assuming all the info is there but for some reason Mavericks is not allowing iWeb to see them?
Thanks in advance!

To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script"/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"
delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Optionsmenu to bring the this window:

Problem with internal links created in iweb 06 after upgrading to iweb 08

I have a site I created in iweb 06 and have uploaded to my own server (not .mac). After switching to iweb 08, I have found that any blog entry that has a title with punctuation of any kind results in a broken link (404 page not found error). I am using fetch to upload the site, and am wondering if in need to change some fetch setting or preference. iweb 08 seems to use the blog entry title as the link, and it just won't work if there is any punctuation in the title. Everything uploaded perfectly in iweb 06. Is this a glitch in iweb 08 or am I doing something wrong. Thanks for any advice you can give. I have not upgraded to OS 10.5. (If you want to look at the site it's www.doylelogan.com/dlctravel)

All your links are live except the one you mentioned.
I don't understand what behavior you expect from the links. Your rollover color is very close to the normal and visited one. If you made it contrast more, the link would be more obvious.
I don't like to underline links but maybe you need to do this if you feel that they are not obvious enough.
Undo and redo the link that is not working.
It may be that iWeb needs a jolt. Try the troubleshooting steps under "Fix iWeb" here....

TS3161 iWeb 'disappeared' from my iMac after upgrading to OS X10.8 - any ideas? tkx

iWeb 'disappeared' from my iMac after upgrading to OS X10.8 - any ideas? tkx

Did you do an erase and install of Mt Lion? In any case you'll have to reinstall iWeb from its original source. Did iWeb come with your computer? If so you should have a couple of disks that came with your Mac and one of them will have the Bundled Software Install package on it. Like one of these:
Be sure to update iWeb to the latest and last version, 3.0.4, from Apple Downloads web page.

Can't open iWeb after upgrading to iLife 11 (Domain.sites2.)

I just upgraded my iLife package from 09' to 11' just a few days ago. Since then I haven't been able to open up iWeb (09'). I realize that the iLife 11 upgrade shouldn't have harmed iWeb 09', but it's the only change/add that I have done to my machine in the past week. Every time I try to launch iWeb either from the dock or from the domain file itself, I receive the following iWeb error:
Can't open file "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/iWeb/Domain.sites2."
Has anyone seen this problem?

Did you move the Domain.sites2 file to that location? ...It can be moved, but most peopIe leave it where it usually resides and would see an error msg saying:
"Can’t open file “~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2.”
You could try moving your Domain file to the above location and double-click it there. And remember to always backup all your Domain files before messing with them.
By the way, rather than posting a P.S. in your Public Profile:
"i've tried repairing permissions on the domain file with Batchmod as well."

How do I get my old iweb sites into the new iweb 08 after upgrading?

I upgraded and now the new iweb 08 does not see all my old web site pages. How do Igetnthem into the new application?

I had a similar issure after buying a new iMac and trying to get my iweb sites onto the new computer. I called Apple tech support and they told me to copy the file "domain.site" form the user/library/application support/iweb folder from my old imac into the iweb folder located in the same directory on my new computer. Once it is copied to the new location, double click on the "domain.site" file and it should open in the new iweb program. They told me to check all the pages to make sure it works OK in the program. My problem is that the new iweb program crashed everytime I double click on the "domain" file. Hope this helps.

IWeb not opening after iTunes Upgrade

This evening I downloaded the update for iTunes, now 8.2.1 (6), and since then I have been unable to open iWeb using either the application shortcut in the Dock or via Finder. The iWeb toolbar appears but attempting to click on any of the menu items simply produces the multi-coloured wheel.
Before the iTunes upgrade was installed I had never had a problem with iWeb or any of the other applications.

iTunes is the biggest pain on a Mac and I have it set not to open! I haven't updated for so long that I can't remember if a restart is required.
If you didn't do a restart after upgrading, follow the steps under "Fix iWeb" here...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/WebMusic/iWebTips.html
I always restart after updating any Apple software and do it at least a couple of times a week and then run Disk Utility to repair permissions.
Macs are fairly bomb proof but they do need routine maintenance. I run an weekly incremental backup to a bootable external firewire hard drive every week using Super Duper. This application automatically repairs permissions and then I do a restart.
Time machine makes us lazy in this respect!

Upgraded from iWeb 06 to 08, and now web address and links don't work

Hi there,
I recently had the hard drive of my computer replaced and the Mac shop automatically upgraded iWeb 06 to iWeb 08, without asking me (and they also upgraded iPhoto)... I didn't think anything of it and went home. The next time I tried to update my website in iWeb I was asked a question that went something like did I want to upgrade or change or did I want to go ahead or something? I foolishly just said yes, whatever, and did my updates to my website. Then I used Transmit to upload my website files to my web site host. The web pages themselves still all look fine in Firefox, but there is one massive problem: when I type in my web address, which is www.*****.com, in Firefox, I'm told: "404 Not Found - The requested URL /Site/Home.html was not found on this server". When this happens, I've noticed that the www.****.com that I typed into the address bar now has changed to http://www.******.com/Site/Home.html.... If I delete the "/Site" bit from this new "address" my website comes up! If I then click on the link The Albadukes e.g., this page comes up fine. I then click on Links, and this page also opens up fine. However, if I then try to go back to the page called The Albadukes, it doesn't open! Instead, I get the 404 Not Found message again. Here, I've noticed that the writing in the web address box of the browser has changed from "http://www.***.com/The_Albadukes.html" (which works) to http://www.****.com/The Albadukes.html" (i.e. with a space between "The" and "Albadukes" - doesn't work...). If I remove the space and instead add an underscore, then the page opens! This kind of thing happens in different directions between different pages within my website.
<Edited by Moderator>
I realise the problems when upgrading to 08 and I wish it had never happened, but it did. So my question is: does anyone know if these link and web address problems can be solved, or should I just accept that the problems are due to the upgrade and instead just recreate my website in 08 (and hope that 08 will work OK on my computer...)? I am very very grateful for any help!!
Many many thanks,
Sofie

Hmm, interestingly enough it works on my MacBook fine...just a lot slower but that's because of ram size. I cannot figure out what's the problem with it on my iMac though.
I've gone into Quicktime and deleted any divx files associated with that and still nothing.

IWeb upgrade??
