IWeb wont publish updated pages to site using Mobileme

Tried to publish 2 updated pages to my current iWeb site published on Mobileme. Am directed through a Facebook username and password login. (Don't remember this step from prior publishing.) Then nothing happens. No site update. No option to publish site available within iWeb. And no way I see to save my changes made in iWeb before I exit the program to try to figure out. I have lost work twice. What is happening and how do I correct the trouble?

You must have checked the box next to "Update my Facebook profile when I publish this site."
Click the site name at the top of the left column in iWeb to get to the Publishing Settings page to change this.

IWeb won't publish updates to my site

Hi!
A couple of years ago I made a website with iWeb then uploaded it to an FTP with some other program I can't remember. Now I'm trying to update my website using iwebs publish tool. Everything seems to run smoothly except that when I go to the updated website it's the old one. There are no updates. I tried it from different computers too, it's always the old website.
What can I do?
Detailed instructions for dummies are welcomed since I'm not an expert.
Thanks!

Probably Cyberduck - it might be an idea to download Cyberduck again and use this to look on your server to see exactly what folders and files are uploaded to your server.
Publish your site from iWeb to a local folder and then use Cyberduck to upload to your server.
Also, you state at the bottom of your post that you are using iWeb 08? This is not the case if you say that you are uploading your site using iWeb ftp? iWeb 08 does not provide this so you must be using iWeb 09 instead?

Publishing iWeb site using MobileMe

I created a new website using iWeb, set up the CNAME alias, and published it using MobileMe. iWeb indicates the website has been published. When I go to the website, I get an error message:
Directory Listing Denied
This virtual directory does not allow contents to be listed.
Help!?

I followed the thread and performed the activities to test the site. I too was able to see the site. When I looked at the URL for the actual site, it still shows mac, not mobileme. Is this part of the problem?

I'm using Netfirms for the domain name, it was all fine until I used the "Masking" feature. When I selected the "On" radio button, I lost all my graphics and the navigation bar on my site. Now I'm not sure if I have to start from scratch, or if that would make a difference.
Thanks!

Can iWeb make changes (update) to Web site made with Microsoft Front Page

Hello,
Our local historical society hired a web master to create a web site for us. He made it with Microsoft Front Page. I was able to make changes until my husband upgraded to Microsoft Office integral 2007. My question is: Would I be able to continue making changes or upgrades to this site but using iWeb '08 instead? I would much rather use my Mac than his IBM.
Thanks,
S Craig

No. iWeb can only create and edit sites that have been created from scratch in iWeb. What you might be able to do is download the files in the current site and use the image and graphic files to make a duplicate site in iWeb.

Publishing a particular Web site using iWeb when you have 2 iWeb projects

Hi ! I'm a new mac user. Working with iWeb is great. I have 2 web projects. How can I upload or publish 1 of the sites without both of them being uploaded ? Every time I have tried to upload on .Mac, both sites are being uploaded but I only want one of them (the smallest one) to be uploaded. Thanks for the help !

goony goo goo,
It can be done, but you need to jump through a few hoops to make it happen. Read through these notes on separate sites, held in individual Domain.sites files in iWeb.

My iWeb always publish every pages... Why ?

I made a second iWeb site recently, and it appears that everytime i publish on .Mac, it takes very long time; when I look at the files that are uploaded to .Mac Servers, I see every single file of my two sites, even the unmodified pages !!
I'm pretty convinced that it is not the normal way of publishing for iWeb...
I thought that "blue pages" , that means unmodified pages, was not uploaded, but only the red pages (modified pages).
Does someone have the same problem ?
What can I do to speed up my iWeb publishing ?

I am having the same problem and as someone who has made a living designing and updating pages Apple's way of "managing" web publishing is obtuse at best.
I currently have three "sites" in my iWeb site organizer. If I simply want to make a single web page with a movie on it for my friends to view, I create a new site, make the movie page, and then try and publish this page (as iWeb sees it a "site") to a folder it publishes every page of every other site to that folder. This does not change when you hold down the option key.
I am either missing something or Apple is a bit daft in its grasp of how people might find use for their web page software. I like the templates and ease with which you can integrate of all your Mac generated media - but I do not see a simple solution for making a "one off" page.

Only publishing updated pages.

In iweb '08 v2.0.4 is it possible to only publish the changes u have made? Or do i have to publish the entire site every time?

Melanie ~ It depends where you're publishing to and the FTP app you're using...
If you're publishing to MobileMe, just hitting the Publish button should upload only updated pages.
If you're publishing to another host, the FTP app you use needs to have a "synchronization" feature: Cyberduck is often recommended and Easy iWeb Publisher is an alternative — see this article and video. (Both Cyberduck and +Easy iWeb Publisher+ are free.)

IWeb not publishing update- just asking to log into facebook and freezing... Help, please!

When I "Publish site changes" on iweb, a facebook login pops up, and regardless of whether I sign in or not, nothing happens and iWeb freezes. the updates never publish, and I don't have the option to try it again. If I quit (sometimes have to force quit) iweb, it says "quitting while your site is publishing can cause problems", but I have left it open for hours, and nothing ever happens.
Please help!

Heidi,
Go ahead and force-quite iWeb, it shouldn't hurt the website file. However, just to be safe, open ~User/Library/Application Support/iWeb, and copy (not move) the Domain.sites2 file in there to your home folder before force-quitting.
For some reason, the "Update my Facebook" feature in iWeb causes it to freeze. To fix this, simply untic the Facebook box in the website publishing settings page. Then it will publish correctly.

IWeb wont publish My changes on the site!

I did some changes to my iweb site and published them. But the changes dont show on my live site.
After I click, publish changes it shows a correct message "changes made, check live website" but when I check the live website the changes have not been made.
I dont get any error messages, I tried emptying the cache and re-publishing but I get the same result!
Please help, I have the latest version of iWeb 3.0.3

Thank you for your help. Sorry I have not been able to work on the computer I have been way to busy. But I am here now I am publishing to a third party host, and yes I believe I am using iWeb's the built in FTP client>
I published the site to a folder and in deed the file changes were all there. I guess the problem lies in the uploading the files.
How can I fix this?

Cannot publish new password protected sites to MobileMe using iWeb

Recently been getting the familiar iWeb error messages when publishing from iWeb to mobile me:
"There was an error updating MobileMe"
"An error occurred while publishing file '/Web/Sites/Sites.rss"
"Publish error: An unknown error occurred"
Did all the troubleshooting stuff detailed here - problem persists.
Today, tho', I've just noticed that these errors *only occur when I'm trying to publish a new password-protected site or trying to apply password-protection to an existing unprotected site*.
It works just fine when publishing a site which is not password-protected. It is also possible to modify an existing password-protected site without any trouble.
There's nothing odd about the passwords - all legal characters etc.
It would be better for me and my users if I could have password protection on my sites. Without passwords, I'm left relying on 'security by obscurity' - not ideal.
What can I do?

Alan ~ How many? ...iWeb is designed for just a few personal sites — you know, snapshots of the kids for grandma, a travel log, that kind of thing.

You could split up your single Domain file into several Domain files each containing a group of sites. You'll have to duplicate (via Finder) the Domain file usually located here:
...and then double-click one of the copies to open it in iWeb. Then delete the site(s) you don't need from it. Repeat the process until you have a more manageable group of Domain files each containing several (or just one) site(s). Note that this process is not easily reversible, i.e. merging Domain files. Read more in Chapter 2 here:

With "many, many sites", this splitting process is not without risk — so before doing anything, don't forget this:

Iweb wont publish picture borders wont show and mp3 in html snippet wont publish.

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum,
I'm following www.iweb for musicians.com website design, Roddy the man is ace.
I'm trying to publish my site with borders and flection on my first page and also a HTML snip box with a code for a mp3.
It all shows up and plays fine in my iweb program but when i publish to a folder then upload using a 3rd party ftp, these additions dont show up.
It's kind of like its maybe not 'saving' correctly in iweb and not publishing correctly?
Any help greatly accepted.
Thanks,
Paul
iWeb 3.0.4

iWeb always publishes correctly.
Since you paste the code in a HTML Snippet it is your responsibilty to make it work correctly.
My guess is that you also need to upload the mp3 file. So check that first.
Or wait for our resident technology ace.

Can I add a slide show to my iWeb created site using MobileMe

Hi there,
What I want to do is to create a folder with a load of pictures of me in them and then add them to the Home Page of my website, so that when people visit my website all the pictures play as an automatic slideshow at the top of the page and automatically scroll through all the pictures in that set.
I have created my website in iWeb 09 and it is published on MobileMe, I really hope that someone can help me because I really want this to work. At the minuet I can add MobileMe photo albums but I cant get them to play as an automatic slideshow and just scroll through all the pictures (without having to open any separate windows or anything)
Huge thanks for you help

Jason ~ The following two suggestions don't involve MobileMe...
Here's an example of a fast loading, looping embedded slideshow (not mine):
http://www.heese-cadieux.com
...and done like this:
iPhoto > select photos > File > Export... > QuickTime tab ...set width and height, etc.
Then iWeb > Media button > Movies tab ...drag in your movie created above by iPhoto.
Then iWeb > Inspector > QuickTime tab ...settings.
Note: The above generates a QT slideshow of small file size and thus appears quickly in a web browser.
An alternative approach (that doesn't require QT to be installed on the viewer's computer) is to set up a slideshow at weebly.com — open a free account there and then embed your Weebly slideshow page in your iWeb page:
Embedding a Site Within an iWeb Page
To see a Weebly looping slideshow, see the third example here:

IWeb wont publish, DESPERATE PLEASE HELP!

So i have gotten lots of suggestions on whats wrong with my iweb but nothing is helping and I really need to update my website.
I have tried....
1. Publishing to MobileMe, Does not work, get the message that says can not connect check your connection and try again. Connection is fine tried this aobut 15 times
2. Publishing to FTP, no such luck. That says check your log in information or whatever, everything is fine but also not working.
SO, Totally at a loss. Can someone please tell me what to do, even from scratch. I have hosted a website here for the past 2 years not sure why it suddenly does not work, im sure its just something small and stupid that im forgetting or not doing.
BASICS ARE - Created a website on iweb, own my domain name through GoDaddy.
ANY HELP MUCH APPRECIATED, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE SAVE ME!

Okay, so do you actually have a MobileMe account and did you sign up for one?
There is no point in trying to publish your site via ftp if you do not have a hosting account with GoDaddy, but you just have your domain name with them - this will not work anyway and is why you are getting ' check your log in information'.
If you have a MobileMe account, then go to System Preferences and log out of your account and then try signing in with false details and this sometimes clears and resets things and you can then log in again with your proper username and password and it should work.
Please answer these questions first though - do you have a MobileMe account and is this where you are trying to publish?
Do you have a hosting account with GoDaddy or just your domain name?

IWeb - can't add pages or sites

I got the recently updated iWeb patch, and now I can't create a new iWeb site or even a new page. Anyone else have this issue?

Delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple. iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iWeb and try again.

Iweb wont publish

I am trying to edit my web site (donmazer.com) but when I press publish I get a message that my start up disk is getting full. It says to delete something. What?
Can anyone help?

I am trying to edit my web site (donmazer.com) but

disk is getting full. It says to delete something.
What?
Your start-up disk is your hard drive on your machine. Is it nearly full? If so, then iWeb might not have room to do its thing. Only you can decide what to get rid of to liberate space on your hard drive.
