IWeb won't finishing publishing

When I have made changes to my web site in iweb, and hit publish, it goes through the cycle of uploading, but never finishes. It sops just before the counter spins all the way round.... Any changes I have made sometimes appear on the published site, but it's hit and miss..
Anyone else have this problem.
I'm using 1.1.2 so current...

I have tried all you suggested over the last few weeks, many times.
For no reason, all seems to be working again. No idea why it stopped in the first place, or why it suddenly decided to operate normally again.... all though my hyperlinks don't direct to the correct destinations.
I'm getting very frustrated with this now! To top it off the trackpad on my MacBook has died!!!
Rant over!

  • Site won't finish publishing

    I have multiple websites and I recently separated them into different domain files. Each domain file is in a separate folder and each is named domain. The problem I'm having now is that the sites won't finish publishing. The circle goes around and then stops, not always at the same point. I used to have this problem on occasion but now it's happening the majority of the time. The sites publish to folders without a problem. I'm using the publish all to .mac command.

    Make certain that the site(s) have not actually published.
    Close all other internet-dependent activities, like any browsers that may be running. Discontinue any syncing that may be going on; in fact, turn syncing off and leave it off. Launch your Activity Monitor.app, and from the file menu choose Window/Network. You will see a black box at the bottom of the window.
    Now choose a Domain.sites file from your folder system, launch the Domain and File/Publish all to .Mac. Click on the Activity Monitor window, and observe the Network activity...it is quite possible that regardless of the publish error, the iWeb application is continuing to upload to .Mac. You will see it in the monitor.
    If this doesn't help and the sites are truly not uploading completely, you can always publish to the folder and then manually upload the site. I don't recall ever seeing a report of a publish error using this method. Of course, you lose some .Mac functions when you publish to a folder.

  • Website won't finish publishing!

    My girlfriend is trying to publish her website to Mobile Me using iWeb '08, but every time she tries, the progress indicator in the iWeb window advances to the last sliver of the "wheel," and won't go any further. It doesn't give any error message or indication that anything is wrong, but won't finish the publication. We've already tried the plist/cache clearing fix, and that does make the upload run faster, but it still freezes on that last sliver of the progress wheel. Any suggestions?

    Nevermind, the site finally went up. It just took forever for that last little bit to publish; a far cry from the "few minutes" the tutorial video described.

  • IWeb '08 + 2.0.2 updated won't finish publish

    I, like many iweb users, have had no luck getting the latest iWeb to publish anything for the last 7 days. We have all tried everything and it seems that the only thing that isn't working is some sort of publishing permission or server error. APPLE; "What is going on" ??? Here is a copy of my latest console log info for today. It says "data stream ended premature". "JPG corrupted."

  • IWeb won't publish my daughter's sites (multiple users; one computer)

    Our daughters have their own computer, so I created two user accounts (one for each). They also each have their own MobileMe account (under a family plan).
    Each has created a site in iWeb. However, I can't get iWeb to upload either site. Each time I click publish, it says "sign in to Mobile Me" and the system preferences window pops up. It seems to log in to the account, automatically. iWeb has a window open saying "Logging in" When I click to return to iWeb, that "logging in" window disappears and nothing else happens. Nothing is uploaded.
    Even if I try again, it says "log in" again. I don't understand why they aren't logged in automatically, all the time, under their username and why iWeb won't upload anything.

    Jim:
    Try the following. Even though it's for a different problem, mail in this case, it has helped others with your problem;

    After waiting a day for the rolling restore to happen, I called AppleCare because Apple had sent an email saying my service was back, and it wasn't. I still could send and not receive using Mail.
    *Here is what fixed it*. Go to MobileMe (terrible name) in System Preferences, log out. Then enter a garbage name and password and try to log in. This apparently clears the MobileMe preferences. Then enter your real UserName and PassWord. For me this was lights on.
    I am left wondering how long ago I could have had email had I known this preference reset scheme.

  • IWeb won't let me publish.  Asking for mobileme password

    Hello,
    not sure what is going on here.  All of the sudden iWeb won't let me publish my site.  When I go to publish a Mobileme window comes up asking me to sign in.  Maybe I changed my password without remembering it.  How do I get me password and Member Name info?
    thanks,
    C

    Ok, I can sign into apple.com with a new password but still can't publish my website from iWeb or sign in from there.  Someone please help before I smash my computer!

  • Publishing Won't Finish

    I have started having problems with iWeb not wanting to finish publishing my website after posting a new entry to my blog. Either the program crashes while trying to publish, or it gets all the way to the end of publishing with the progress wheel, but never actually finishes and tells me that it has succesfully been published.
    The new posting has shown up on my blog, but the comments are not showing up on the post. I let it run for over two hours without any luck, so I quit and tried republishing twice now, and I get the same result every time.

    try this:
    view here for my website version: http://karreth.com/iweb/22070571-B241-4C09-840B-288E0EC491F6.html
    Firstly try to publish All to .Mac:
    1. From the Menu Bart in iWeb choose: File/Publish All To .Mac
    2. This mostly solves problems like:
    - Can't create shapeimage_2.png
    - Sorry! But the .Mac Servers are busy. Try Later!
    If that does not solve it then you might want to follow these steps:
    1. Backup your Domain file RIGHT NOW SOMEWHERE SAFE AND COPY IT ONCE TO THE DESKTOP
    If you cant find the file, then see here)
    2. Then go to the folder below and delete the red file:
    Users/Username/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iweb.plist
    3. Now, open iWeb! It will ask for you to choose or create a domain file. Click to make a new domain file, do something, save it and PUBLISH ALL TO .MAC!
    4. After you have published, you trash the following files which are marked in red:
    - Users/Username/Library/Application Support/iWeb/DOMAIN.SITES
    - Users/Username/Library/Preferences/COM.APPLE.IWEB.PLIST
    5. Now move the Domain file from the Desktop back into the original folder (marked red:
    Users/Username/Library/Application Support/iWeb
    6. Now restart your computer and hope with both thumbs that it will work!

  • Iweb won't publish for me???

    Hi all,
    I have published successfully a couple of times in the past and now for some reason, it won't publish at all. I tried starting the idisk sync option in the system pref's but it won't start and and error message comes up saying that i need to check my username and password but i'm already logged in? I read another post by Tom where he said to do a few things in the idisk pref's but it won't let me in to the idisk folder either and a message comes up saying my .mac membership is not set up but yet i just logged in before that......very confused! If anyone could advise me that would be great.
    Thanks,
    Dave.

    Hi Jeannie,
    Spoke to apple support. My site is now publishing again!!
    Please follow the instructions below as this is what i did and it worked. It has to do with resetting your .mac preferences and also your keychain.
    1) Click the Apple at the top left and select System Preferences
    2) In the new window select the .Mac (in the internet and network section)
    3) Click the "Sign Out" option
    4) In the member name and password boxes, enter random characters (Numbers and letters) and hit the sign in button, this will say the log in is invalid
    5) Now, enter your proper member name (do not [email protected], just your user name only)and then enter your password and sign in.
    6) Open iWeb and attempt to publish your site
    Let me know how you get on.
    Dave.

  • IWeb won't publish my website

    Hi, very frustrated. Have spent two days designing my iWeb website, then when I finally click the 'Publish' icon, I get "Preparing to Publish..."
    Then...
    "An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites/iWeb/Site”."
    GREAT. But iWeb won't tell me WHAT the error is, or what I need to do to try and FIX the problem! And I thought Apple and the iWeb software were supposedly so intuitive, easy and hassle-free...
    Any ideas appreciated. Many, many thanks.

    Thanks for the quick response. I've read Heaton's
    suggestions and tried publishing to a folder. Worked
    fine. Does this mean the fault lies with .Mac, or
    me/my Mac?
    Adrian...
    This is good news. The fact that you can publish to a folder means that iWeb is not encountering any troubles with your website... The error message that it is generating just lets you know where iWeb is encountering it's "internal error"...not indicating that there is a problem with that particular page, etc.
    What you have to understand is that iWeb is a pretty "dumb" program. I mean, it's great...it lets you design pretty fantastic pages and all, but when it uploads to .Mac it is sort of at the mercy of the traffic on the Internet as a whole. And there is probably some programming in iWeb that says, okay, after you send a file to .Mac, this is how long you should wait for the confirmation. If network conditions are slower or fluctuating, that confirmation may not get to iWeb in a timely manner and iWeb reports out this error message....which is basically a timeout message. iWeb has to draw the line somewhere, I guess.
    The best advice that I can give to you then is to keep trying....different times of the day, different internet connections, wired connections instead of wireless connections, etc.

  • Why iweb won't publish to my mobile me?

    I'm trying to update my iWeb that used to publish to mobile me... I haven't posted for a while (months) and now it won't publish... I click on the button, but it never publishes... Any ideas as to how to fix?  I use godaddy.com for my site (www.peterspals.com) and it's worked in the past... Can't figure it out!

    I use godaddy.com for my site (www.peterspals.com) and it's worked in the past...
    No you don't. You use masquarading.

  • When iWeb finishes publishing, drop down shows wrong address

    It's kinda weird. When iWeb finishes publishing my website, a drop down window asks, do you want to visit, announce, or finish. If you click visit, it goes to www.gogoglidepath.com/gogoglidepath. It should say www.gogoglidepath.com. Anybody know how to fix it? I know it's just a little bug, but it bugs me.

    Well, no actually it is not incorrect, because that is how iWeb will publish. It will publish using a site folder with the same name as you called your site within iWeb. Did you name your site gogoglidepath in iWeb? If so, if you don't like it then you need to go back and change this in iWeb to something short like Site or S or whatever. That is how iWeb does things so your url is http://www.domain.com/sitename/pagename.
    Are you publishing to MobileMe and forwarding your domain name or publishing direct to your host? If using MME there is not a lot you can do about this apart from changing to web forwarding from CNAME forwarding so that your url will be http://www.domain.com. You can then only bookmark the whole site rather than pages.
    If uploading directly, you can upload just the contents of your site folder rather than the whole folder itself.

  • IWeb won't publish changes to website without adding "/SiteName"

    I'm trying to publish changes to my website with a URL that is an established domain name.
    When I click "Publish Site", iWeb adds "/SiteName" to the URL and the changes are
    published to "URL/SiteName". But when I search for my site on Google (it pops up
    readily as the website has been accessed many many times), the OLD, UNCHANGED
    website with the old URL comes up. To get the revised website, users would have
    to specifically use the CHANGED URL, "URL/SiteName."
    Every time I try to remove "Site Name" from the blank for Site name, iWeb puts
    "SiteName" back in. How do I keep the Site name slot blank so that iWeb will
    publish my changes to the old familiar URL that can be found on Google?
    As a Server engineer commented to me, "There has been a folder called [SiteName] uploaded
    recently to the root [URL] of your account. This make me suspect that iWeb is set to publish in the
    wrong directory. Make sure it is publishing to the public_html directory."
    I put "public_html" into Directory/Path. Still no changes to my website at URL; changes have
    been published only to "URL/SiteName".
    Any help available?

    That is the way that iWeb works and it is normal practice to get the url with the Sitename in it.  As you have found, if you try to leave the sitename blank, iWeb will put it back in.
    The server engineer that you spoke to is correct that your site folder has been uploaded to your 'public_html" folder on your server.
    If you want your url without the sitename included, then you need to upload the contents only from your site folder and NOT the whole folder itself and then your url will be http://www.domain.com without the http://www.domain.com/sitename/page name.html.
    You can achieve this by publishing your site to a local folder from iWeb and then you need to download an ftp programme such as Cyberduck or Yummy ftp.  You then use either of these 2 to upload only the contents of your site folder to your 'public_html' folder on your server and if you just upload the contents and NOT the whole folder itself, then your url will be http://www.domain.com.
    Sometimes putting 'public_html' into the Directory/Path will not work and you'll need to strart from scratch, so you'll need an ftp programme so that you can link up to your server and you can see exactly what is in your public_html folder on your server and delete the site folder and start again, by then uploading just the contents of your site folder rather than the whole folder itself.
    Ultimately, what you need to do is upload the contents and the contents only of your site folder and NOT the whole folder itself to get your url back to http://www.domain.com without the sitename.

  • IWeb won't save work in Lion.

    Hello,
    I've been using iWeb for a cuple of years, and have been creating quite a few web sites by now.
    Recently, i switched to Lion, and saved my Domain file from Leopard, to the fresh new copy of Lion.
    But now, in Lion, iWeb won't save my work/changes.
    I've modified a site 4 times allready. As usual, i used Cmd+S and/or File>Save in order to consrve my work before the actual publishing to the MobileMe Domain. When I modify and publish my web site, the changes are present on the online version, but after i quit the application, everything comes back to the old version of the web site in iWeb. it doesn's matter whether I save or my work with Cmd+S or File>Save, nothing works. Everytime I have to start from the old version of the web site and modify everything again.
    Has anyone encountered this problem and can she/he provide a solution for it?
    Thake you very much for your time!

    No, I have only one Domain file. Inside this Domain file, there are 2 sites. But for the past year it has been the same, and it worked well under Snow Leopard.
    The Domain file (saved from Snow Leopard), i copied it to Users/user_name/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Of course, I overwrote the existing one (the sample one that comes with iWeb by default).
    As far as I know, this should be the wright place to put it. Proof is that after installing Lion and putting the Domain file in the above named folder, iWeb recognized the Domain file and showed me my 2 web sites.
    So i guess the problem doesn't come from here. It must be something different...

  • IWeb won't open-cannot find "index.xml" file

    I've been having kernel panics lately and ran off my hard drive to another Mac (iMac) -not using migration assistant-and upon returning back to my main computer (MacBook Pro) and after diligently saving my Domain file, iWeb won't open because it cannot find the "index.xml". I have the site up on my idisk and when I open up the package in Domain, there's plenty in there. How do I get back to where I was-an iWeb site that I can manipulate.
    Any way I can get what I do still have to work? Or do I have to make my site from scratch again even though I have loads of files all over the place and only this one missing?
    I think Apple needs to tell us "how" and "what" to save when we need to vacate a computer because of kernel panics and the like-wouldn't you say? I ALWAYS suffer from something missing when I have to put the OS back on the computer from scratch-not to mention hours of wasted time downloading updates again and having to find keycodes and various application discs!

    Welcome to the discussions, RPashman.
    I got this message before when I was editing multiple Domain.sites. I believe it happened when I tried to Publish when the Domain was not in the iWeb folder. During the Publish, it places a Domain file in the iWeb folder (maybe because it has to publish from there even though the actual file is elsewhere??) and if anything goes wrong, iWeb when it next opens will default to that improperly created Domain.sites file.
    Check in the iWeb directory (Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites
    ) and see how large the Domain.sites file is. If it's something under a meg, then maybe this is what happened to you. Move it out of that directory (I held mine just in case) then relaunch iWeb. Since there's not a Domain.sites file there anymore, it should ask if you want to create one or open an existing one.
    Not sure if this happened to you, but it's possible. It happened to this user as well.

  • My new iWeb won't recognize my website, gives error message

    UPDATE: After more reading, I found the only ".sites" file I have on my computer (Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2), and opened it in iWeb, which prompted me to choose a background for my site as if I were creating a site.  It looks like I'm missing this .sites file for the website I already made.
    Is there a way to recreate this .sites file?  Does it exist on my remote server?
    Thanks for your help.
    Old news:
    I upgraded to Snow Leopard, and my friend installed it for me.  He made a backup of all my files, but may not have used Time Machine.
    Now iWeb won't recognize the website I created in iWeb.  My website's folder appears in my directory under "Sites", and all files appear to be there.
    When I open iWeb, it says "Can't open file "~/Sites/[mywebsitename]/assets.http:--www.mywebsitename.com.plist" then immediately closes.

    If you're trying to open one of your published site files then that's why you're getting that message.  iWeb can't read html files.
    Is the size of the Domain.sites2 file large indicating it contains your site and its components. A new domain file with just 1 page will be around  200 KB.  If the size of the file indicates that it is your domain file
    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.
    If you can't find a backup copy of the Domain.sites2 file that existed before the installation of SL you'll have to recreate your site from scratch.  Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site.
