IWeb won't publish to .mac

For the last 2 days, every time I try to publish iWeb to .mac, a box comes up asking for my password. I enter it, but nothing happens.
I think I may have an iDisk problem or a .mac login problem.
Someone please help. I need to republish asap!!!!!

I have encountered the same problems - my site was fine until yesterday when I decided to change it and now it won't publish.
Let me know if you figure out what happened
I'm using iWeb 06 and have not upgraded to the new one. I did install some software updates that come in automatically. I wonder if that might be the problem.
When I try to visit site - I get a download popup and my pages (name only appear on my desktop but they are blank and nothing happens when I click on the icon. Weird - weird - weird

Links are broken, and iWeb won't publish to .mac

Hi,
Just installed ilife and immediately ran update, and tried to continue editing/updating my site.
After publishing, the look of the page was fine, however, all the links to my blog entries were broken. Tried republishing, changing themes, and other to get it fixed. Still links are broken.
Now I am getting this error from .mac and iWeb:
An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites/My_Page/Blog/Entries”. Try publishing again later.
Is this a known problem thats being fixed?
I hear of lots of people having problems. Any ideas? Anyone?

Well, I first took a lot out of my site by deleting from my Idisk so I could go down to a small site to be published. I checked on my sign in with .mac and discovered my husband's signin was current...not mine, so I changed that to mine. then proceeded and was successful. Hated taking down so much but it is still in Iphoto so can reconstruct.
For some reason I was getting a Publishing Error message so I would recommend checking on your settings for your .mac signin. i still am showing that I have 4.95GB in my site. I just need to reconnect some of my links and then all should be fine. Good luck.

IWeb won't Publish, just crashes.

iWeb will not publish to .Mac. After pressing publish, the program signs into .mac and then proceeds to create the web pages. Once all the pages are created circles form next to their consecutive sites. These usually fill up like a clock showing the site being uploaded. However, ifor the past few days nothing happens once the circles appear. Then after a few minutes iWeb crashes. Also, during this time my whole computer freezes. iTunes will stop playing until the iWeb crash is complete. This has happened every time I have tried to publish over the past few days. Just last week I was able to publish without any problems.
I think it is a problem with .mac because I am able to publish to a folder without any problems.
I have repaired permissions over and over again...
The only thing new I added to my mac since my last time I publish something in iWeb was the trial version of File Maker's Bento.
Here is the error message I get from the crash.

I did not want to upgrade to leopard, but I had to. At the law school I go to the exam software only uses windows. I waited until the last minute to instal XP and by then you had to have leopard to use boot camp. Leopard has a lot of nice ideas. You cannot really call them features yet because most of them don't work. Notes in mail is a great idea... But, once I started using it heavily, it went crazy and started erasing all my to do's, duplicating notes like crazy, or something else. I just gave up... The only really nice feature about leopard is Preview and the way it allows you to edit PDFs. I suppose screen sharing is pretty cool too and seems to work okay. However, everyone is so competitive in law school no one wants to "share."
My wife's macbook hasn't fared to well with leopard either.

IWeb won't publish... HELP :)

Hey everyone. Everytime I try to publish from iWeb to my .Mac account it will only go so far. It will error out saying "An error occurred while publishing file 'x.mov'." Where x is a different file each time, it could also be many other types of files.
I have restarted the computer, and shut down iWeb and then brought it back up again, however it still won't publish all the way.
Has anyone seen this yet?
Is there a fix?
Thank you!

Just saw the other thred. :S It did say that a lot of other people are having this issue. I think I'll call apple support and see what they know about this issue.

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.

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.

Help! iWeb can't publish to .Mac & folder, keeps hanging.

Hi guys, would appreciate your help here. I'm new to to using iWeb. Just purchased and installed iWeb a couple of days ago. I've designed my webpages using iWeb and uploaded into www.mac.com, just the basic Welcome, About Me and Blog pages.
But after that 1st successful attempt, my iWeb can't synchronise with iDisk & .Mac properly and it froze in the middle of the publishing process. I was forced to force quit iWeb. Subsequent attempts to publish using the Publish button and Publishing to Folders alternatives yielded the same results - connection error, hanging of iWeb and fruitless synching of webpages to iDisk & .Mac. So ended up can't proceed or update my already published webpages.
After that I registered another .Mac account and tried publishing directly, publishing to folder, synchronising etc... but still no luck as iWeb either hanged, gave error box stating "check internet connection or totally didn't synch the files at all to Homepage though the process went thru.
I also discovered that after restarting my powerbook, there are folders in the trash with names such as com.apple.iWeb584_1862039531. Does that render iWeb unfunctionable.
Any help is much appreciated.
Powerbook PPC G4 1.33Ghz 15" Mac OS X (10.4.8) 768MB DDR SDRAM, 80GB HDD

My site is very small. The capacity taken up indicated by iDisk after synching is only 1MB. Bandwidth tests indicated an estimated 4700kbps download speed and 300kbps upload speed. Currently, I'm subscribed to a 10Mbps ADSL broadband plan and connected wireless to the router *** modem.
The present configuration for the internet settings include a web proxy (HTTP) as given by my ISP. I've read somewhere in this forum that proxies may filter or block non-standard html codes generated from/by iWeb.
I've tried to bypass that proxy by connecting via ethernet cable to the router and unchecking the proxy setting. But another error occurred stating 'configuration error' by iWeb.
So does the problem lie with the proxy settings or with iWeb itself?
PS: I can't get my ISP to turn off the proxy, and the only way to take away that proxy is to terminate the internet subscription.

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.

You can probably get around it by publishing your site to a local folder...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
... and then uploading with an FTP application...

This is not so easy as publishing with the iWeb FTP.

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!

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

IWeb won't publish changes

I made changes to my first page and I've tried everything (I think) to get the new page up on .Mac. Emptied cache, viewed in Safari, IE & Firefox, deleted my entire site from .mac. I've tried changing the linked buttons and publishing to .mac. I've tried publishing all to .mac.
I do have the site published on a separate server but need this link operating properly. Could there somehow be a conflict with the pages on another server? At any rate I've deleted every old file I can find on my mac, on .mac, on my other server...
Of course this happened about 20 minutes after announcing the site to prospective clients.
Thanks for any clues.

I just tried publishing all and got a error message on one of the files. The time before that it said the .mac server was busy.
Here's the site:
http://web.mac.com/patrickfifth/iWeb/EstanciasInArgentinaiweb/EstanciasInArgenti na.html
It seems the biggest issue is the first page, once it finally seemed to replace the old page with the new it converted the text all weird.
Thanks for your help.

IWeb won't Publish Site

Hi,
Everything works fine until I add a flash music video or any video to the page then it won't Publish. But if I remove the videos from the page it will Publish. (this is not an embed code but instead a link set up from the hyperlink menu when I click on the "inspector" dialog box.
Or should I instead use the embed code from my upload site?
Has this something to do with memory? I followed the advice that was posted on another "help" column to change the memory setting in the MobileMe page for iDisk, but that didn't work either.

IWeb won't publish to Mobileme

I am running the latest iWeb 2.0.4 and iWeb will not publish, I get a message that it will not connect every time. My internet is fine, any idea what I can do to get this working.

Although the fix in the thread I'm linking you to is for an email issue it did help one user with a publishing problem. See my post in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7803559#7803559
