Major iWeb issues

I have a few issues maybe someone can help, I have created a website to be published to an FTP server. iWeb asked if it should replace the old website. First issue the upload took ages only to come up with the error cannot resume publishing, near the end of the upload. On the web it still showed the old website but only the home page. Then I downloaded Transmit, logged on the the ftp server, only to find the old website and the new iWeb site on there. I then proceeded to delete the whole lot, published the website to a local folder then uploaded the contents to the ftp server. This seemed to work, but the following happened, instead of the site being www.theafricahouse-zanzibar.com it is www.theafricahouse-zanzibar.com/www.africahouse-zanzibar.com/ . This is a problem, cause what I know of html is that the site is not in the home directory.... but there was no home directory for the previous web site.etc. and does iWeb not do this himself. This is issue No1 can some one help with this?
Issue No. 2, I've created a slideshow in iPhoto exported it to Quicktime converted it for web, sized it, then placed it on the website, in iWeb under the Quicktime I tab in inspector, I removed the movie controller, I ticked loop and autoplay, this does not appear to happen on the website. But it does work when I view the site in Safari from the local published folder on my HD. Can someone help?
Issue No. 3 The navbar does not work at all period not in iWeb also not on the web nor in the local folder... can someone help?
Issue No. 4 The lovely fonts that came with iWeb seem to go missing, and replaced on the web with some horrible font and the color changed, this is just ridiculous actually, in the local folder the font stays in some places and some not and color changes etc. Should iWeb not rasterize the font and convert it to smart objects or something, or embed it into the code and send it with the media files ? Can some one help?
Then issue No. 5 The logo's I've placed on the site have transparent backgrounds these are fine in iWeb but on the web, and after publishing then to a local folder and viewing with Safari the backgrounds appears black, which in this case looks horrid! Can some one help?
I seems like what you get in iWeb you don't get on the web?
Please help!!! I don't know much about web developement/html but I think there might be something wrong with the source codes, and that there is problems in the CSS, and that they don't load correctly there might be
spaces in the code, I don't have the time and patience to check, when Apple should know better. Also are the sites created in iWeb compatible with IE, Firefox, etc.
Because the following java scripting (quoted from the site iWeb coded) source code is not compatible with all browsers...
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/iWebSite.js"></script>
   <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/Widgets/SharedResources/WidgetCommon.js"></script>
   <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/Widgets/Navbar/navbar.js"></script>
   <script type="text/javascript" src="Welcome_files/Welcome.js"></script>

Hi
This might be a conclusion to issue 3. Make sure that nothing is overlapping the nav bar as this then will hide it and you cannot see it. If you go to arrange/show layout you should be able to see what is overlapping what. The other thing you mentioned is items moving, this could also be an overlapping problem. You might have to set up wraparounds on some on your pics or text etc. With regards to fonts you must use web safe fonts. The fonts that you are using do not come with iweb they are supplied with your mac. If you want to use a certain font and it is not web safe you must convert it to a picture by adding a shadow then turn transparency down to zero. Web safe fonts are Arial, Georgia, Geneva etc if you type in web safe fonts on this forum you will find a list somewhere. Hope this gets you started.

Major performance Issues after upgrading to 10.9.2

Hi,
I have been having major performance issues almost preventing me from using the computer at times. I suspect I don't have enough memory to run Maverick as the computer was great before I upgraded.
If any experts or people with ideas for me to speed up the computer, please respond. If you think the only way to improve performance is add memory or revert back to a previous version of OSX that I have a backup for, let me know.
Here is the info on my system, thank you in advance!!

The performance issues are due to third party software. Mavericks at the minimum requires 2GB's of RAM but I don't think that's the issue. And you can upgrade RAM anytime.

Major streaming issue!

Hey Guys,
I am having major streaming issues with my Macbook and Apple TV. Here is a detailed overview of my setup.
Netgear 802.11G Router
SSID off
WEP 128 Bit hex key
DHCP
Wireless devices
Powerbook G4
Macbook
Apple TV
iPod Touch
XP laptop
Wired device
XP desktop
All these devices are able to access the wireless network fine - and have no problem connecting to the internet.
Apple TV is running SW 2.0 - I don't know if the same issue would have occurred in SW 1.0 as I did the SW upgrade on it straight away (getting close to a system reset though)
I am able to see the Apple TV in iTunes 7.6 and have all the details of my Apple TV.
When I try to play any of "my movies" I sometimes get an error saying can't recognize file type or something along those lines - or it just gets stuck on a black screen with the buffering "spinning gear" winding till the Apple TV goes in to the screen saver.
I tried on many different resolutions but it did not fix the issue.
The same thing happens with TV Shows and Podcasts - haven't tried YouTube just yet.
I am able to play movie trailers though both standard definition and high definition.
Another thing to mention is the load up of the Apple TV is very jittering and stutters.
The thing that makes me wonder is I ran it on another Netgear G router network earlier today and everything went fine - and I was able to playback videos that I am not able to do now - which kind of makes me look at the network - but the fact that HD trailers load almost instantly and play fine makes me think perhaps Apple TV? The fact it doesn't load smoothly concerns me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just removed Apple TV from iTunes and cleared an connections in "Computer" tab of Apple TV and reset everything - still the same issue.
Apple TV loads very jittery and it doesn't load video files to playback - but it does playback music and movie trailers. I am guessing it has no problems with the trailers as that is not something that gets accessed via the Macbook. Really starting to think this could be a bandwidth issue know, just weird that it was all hunky dory on another G network! Besides all my laptops get full reception where the Apple TV is situated and I can't think of any interference in the position that it is in.
Any other ideas people - don't want to have to shell out for a base station just right now.

When opening safari i get a message that says major security issue please contact apple immediately suspicious activity might have been detected. what is this and how do i get rid of it so i can use my internet?

A misleading and malicious popup. Launch Safari with the Shift key held down; if that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

[Possible] Major Privacy Issue in Safari 5 - URL Autofill

From what I read on the Apple site, the URL autofill compares what you type to your history. However even if you delete your history, the autofill still comes up with sites that you visited in the past. If I delete my history, where is this info coming from? Seems to me that this is a MAJOR security issue if you're not the only person using the computer.
EDIT: Im seeing all sorts of random URLs popping up in the URL window when I type random letters. Is the URL bar also being used as a web search? (And if so, which search engine does it use for this?) I was under the impression it was only searching your history.
At first I thought these random sites being suggested were sites I have visited in the past and forgotten about... in fact a lot of them seem like sites I would have visited.
Its just so odd how random the results seem. Not just front pages come up, but pages a few levels deep on any given website. Strange thing this is to me.
Message was edited by: Frozo

I'm hoping someone will figure out a way to disable the URL history suggestions. It's totally annoying. I'm used to typing in the first few letters of a bookmarked web page to jump to it quickly. Now if I type some letters, I'm inundated with suggestions from keywords in my history, while the actual URL I'm trying to get to is buried beneath a list of other pages that have nothing to do with the page I'm trying to visit. Totally frustrating. Maybe it's good for some, but a way to turn it off is a must.

Major Color Issue

I am having a major color issue in 10.3.9.
Issue #1:
Setting Color Labels...
even though the names of the colors are there, the colors are actually shades of blue and gold.
Issue #2:
Mac Icon...
normally on the dock, it's 2 shades of BLUE.. however on mine, it's 2 shades of GOLD.
Issue #3:
Adobe Programs...
In Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat, ALL PHOTOS have this duotone look (blue and black) and the ONLY way to preview a photo in true color, is if I save for web and in that screen, it shows correctly. I'm a graphic designer and it makes it VERY difficult to adjust photos.
I know its not the photos themselves, because they preview correctly when imported into Quark and also when printed. I have also tried switching monitors, to see if that was the issue and I still have the same problem. I had this problem back in January, when I upgraded to 10.3.9, and my supervisor fixed it through DUMB LUCK! I recently had to re-install everything, including the OS and this problem resurfaced. Now it's almost a year later and we've tried everything we could think of, but no such luck. This is my last hope!
Does anyone know how to fix this problem, or has anyone ever HAD this problem? Is it just my negative energy that is feeding into it and making it want to lash out at me?!?!

I am having a very similar issue, and am really pulling my hair out. I have one user that is having this problem - FROM ALL MACHINES! I have deleted ALMOST every preference in ~/Library/Preferences to no joy. Just started yesterday. (I am using network Home Folders - with no other major issues)
Everything looks like it is in 8 bit color.
I have done all the standard fixes. It does it no matter which machine this user logs into, so it is not a hardware or /Library/ issue. It definitely is a ~/ issue.

Two Macbooks, same spec, yet one has major connectivity issues

Hi,
I have two (old - 2006) macbooks, bought at exactly the same time, exactly the same spec, probably off the same factory line. Yet one has serious Airport issues which are proving very difficult.
It will pick up a maximum of one wireless network, which it barely is able to connect to. There are 3 wireless networks in this house yet it only picks up the nearest one. The other macbook can pick up at least 15 other networks despite being exactly the same spec and on the desk next to it.
Even when it connects to my network, connections are frequently dropped - over 50% packet loss generally.
Both are running the same OS and are exactly the same spec. I have tried resetting the PRAM, deleting the airport prefs, resetting the SMC; you name it I've tried it. I noticed that this is quite a common issue with Snow Leopard + Airport, but I am now thinking it could be a faulty Airport card. Could this be the case?

You already mentioned that you thought that "it could be a faulty AirPort card". I agreed and offered another possibility as well.
Whether or not you are using Snow Leopard, if you have a faulty wireless card or a faulty antenna connector, you will most certainly have major connectivity issues.
You've already performed all the standard troubleshooting steps and mentioned that you felt it may be a hardware issue.
If you have changed your mind and feel that it's a Snow Leopard issue, (logic would dictate that it would have also affected your other identical computer the same way) you have the option of reinstalling the operating system to see if that might help.

I'm experiencing major synchronisation issues on ICloud, especially for documents created on my Mac in pages, keynote and numbers. Contacts and agenda items work fine. I checked all my account settings.

I'm experiencing major synchronisation issues on ICloud, especially for documents created on my Mac in pages, keynote and numbers. Contacts and agenda items work fine. I checked all my account settings. But while I can upload documents from my MAC onto ICloud, they don't show on my IOS devices (whereas previously this worked without issues).

On this Mac I did move all the visible iCloud documents out of iCloud, into another folder, then disabled syncing, exactly as you suggested. But there were, apparently, documents remaining in my Mac's local iCloud store, "~/Library/Mobile Documents/" that I could not see (so could not remove). The Pages file "CSU-PD-UN1.pages" was one such document.
The act of disabling iCloud's document sync'ing, in System Prefs, just renames the local "iCloud" store to "~/Library/Mobile Documents/<appleid#>/" effectively shielding the it from the sync'ing mechanism. Looking at this renamed folder (the screenshot above) revealed that "CSU-PD-UN1.pages" (and other files) had not been removed; it would be reasonable to assume that one, or more, of these "undeletable" files were related to my original problem, and when I re-enabled doc sync'ing, those bad files would just clog up the works again.
So I deleted them with the Finder on both Macs (the other Mac had bad files too, but different ones), then re-enabling sync'ing on the two Macs and doc sync'ing between the Macs (and iCloud.com) appears to now work as intended.
Sadly, iOS devices (iPhone and two iPad) now do not sync at all. Newly created documents do not migrate to any other devices, and documents on other devices do to migrate to the iOS devices.
Your suggestions have certainly done some good, but something is now keeping my iOS devices out of the the iCloud doc sync'ing process. I suspect it's a similar problem as the Macs had ("invisible" files gumming up the works), so I'm going to apply some nasty tricks to explore the iOS devices file system and see if I can find them, and delete them by brue force.

Iweb 08 has major stability issues

So, my last post was deleted when I talked about how disapointing iweb 08 was. I don't think I was over the top or saying anything that was untrue.
This software has major stability problems. I have seen other posts that confirm this. I cannot publish because it crashes on publishing. And worse, after the crash my system does not fully recover without a restart. tiger becomes sluggish.
Also, the enormouse amount of resources this program takes up is no better then 1.0

Gah, thought I had this problem down because I hadn't seen it in a day or two but I just had a crash again. Let me describe what happens:
So seemingly out of nowhere, as in I've been doing the same tasks for a few hours and then this happens, the computer locks up. First the wireless gives me no incoming or outgoing traffic. I'm still connected to the network at school, but nothing is happening. When I go look at the network stats on the iStat dashboard widget, there's nothing going on. Then if I move the cursor up to the menu bar, near the airport icon but sometimes near others as well, the beachball shows up. Not anywhere else on screen, just there. So I try to open activity monitor to see what's hanging. First I try it via Quicksilver, which subsequently gives me the beachball as well, and then by clicking on the activity monitor button on the iStat widget. Thats when the whole computer freezes up. I can move my mouse around and click on things, but nothing happens.
Background. I just performed the 10.6.2 combo update yesterday, so maybe that has to do with it, but i was on 10.6.2 since it came out and this problem only started about a week ago. I was just thinking that maybe it has to do with the newer version of quicksilver that I installed. That's the only thing that I think i've changed recently. I'll try and pull the old version out of a time machine backup later. I just checked the console and couldn't find anything that looked "scary" but that doesn't really mean anything. Could you tell me what i'm supposed to be looking for?
oh and @baltwo: it wasn't the forum formatting software that messed up your link, you added a - and then some other words directly after the link so it thought that those were part of the link as well. Well maybe it is the software, i dont know how you put the link into your post, but just don't attach words to your links. Leave a space or something.

Iweb issues

I am having major issues with iweb. It won't update in the program, yet it seems to have updated on the actual site. There are also lines missing on my page.
iweb also keeps asking me to sign in, when I already am.
Does anyone know if this is being worked on, does this have to do with the update to mobileme?

There are also lines missing on my page.
What do you mean by missing lines on the page? Do you see something like this? If so see the fix discussed in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1605665&tstart=0. If you're having problems with Firefox 3 then this thread will help: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1600618&tstart=0.
iweb also keeps asking me to sign in, when I already am.
I've been experiencing that on and off today. Often I have to try two to three time in succession before it will go thru, but it always got thru.

IOS 8.2 on iPhone 4S - (major) Safari issue?

Hi everyone,
after getting pretty excited while watching the Keynote earlier today, I think I made a big mistake updating my iPhone 4S to iOS 8.2 immediately after release as I have a major issue with Safari now - I will try to explain:
It will take Safari several minutes to load even the most simple website (google) on the first try. If not interrupted during this time, the website will eventually load and after that Safari is as fast as it should be when opening other websites, tabs or using the address bar to search. After closing Safari - and re opening it will again, load any given site (tried NYTimes, WSJ, google, Highsnobiety, Selectism, gmail) painfully slow and after that, again work as fast as it should be.
If Safari is interrupted during this first opening of a site, it will freeze and finally shut down.
What it also kinda funny: If a site like nytimes.com has a re-deriction, to mobile.nytimes.com in this instance - Safari will notice that immediately/as fast as it should, but then takes minutes to load the site.
Internet connection via W-Lan or mobile works at the desired speed, as do apps like Mail, NYTimes, WSJ i.e.
What I tried so far:
Shut down phone and restarted - didn't help.
Reseted phone - didn't help.
What I could do:
Make a clean iOS 8.2 install ("new iPhone")
Recover from Backup.
Since it is Tuesday (10.03.2015) at 02:20 AM where I am located, I'm not really in the mood to completely restore my phone (that I need) anew right now. I will see if there will be a 8.2.1 to fix this rather soon and keep Safari opened in background, or if I will have to put up with configuring my iPhone anew in the coming week...
Greetings and thank you very much for any input you might have.
Oliver

Thank you very much for bringing that up jakefsf!
Although I didn't mess with the DNS servers in my settings in first place, I figured it couldn't hurt to try to change it - and I was right, Safari works (for) now - as it should - every-time.
What I did: I changed the DNS Server's address from my original address to 8.8.8.8 (google's DNS server) - after that Safari worked like a charm. I changed back to the original address, Safari still works like a charm. So I guess something got clogged/*whatever* - and that "playing" with the addresses removed it.
(I forgot to mention in my original post, that I too tried to delete the cache and stuff - but that didn't do the trick.)
So I guess either the Update caused the "clogging" or my Router/ISP (Which I doubt, because everything was fine on my MacBook Air - using the same Router/W-Lan) - thankfully I'm fine now with a fully operational phone.
Thank you very much for bringing this very helpful solution jakefsf!!
@jimdouglas, It can't hurt if you try to do the same. Settings -> WiFi -> tap on the circled i behind the WiFi you're using, and change the DNS Server's address to 8.8.8.8 - see if Safari works. If it does, you can go back to the settings, remove 8.8.8.8 (leave it blank) it will automatically get the address back from your router - if it still works, it did the trick.
Greetings,
Oliver

Major effect issues (after installing XAVC/XDCAM Plug-in)

Hi all,
I encounter major issues with applying effects and titles in FCPX (10.0.8).
Already in preview (skimming) I get black screens and when I apply effects, they don't show or give a black or distorted picture. Also older projects are effected. For example; where I used 'cold aura' effects on some clips, they are all distorted now. In the event library aswell, some clips are black. When skimmed they show up and when the mouse pointer is gone, the clip is black again.
I have this issues since I updated protools, FCPX and installed the XAVC/XDCAM Plug-in by Sony (PDZK-LT2)
Anyone else have these problems? I'm really Looking for a solution, as I have to deliver to clients this week...
Kind regards,

[SOLVED] Major weird issues with KDE/Qt apps and unicode

Hi, I've tried to search for my problem, but nothing has showed up, so if this has already been answered, please forgive me.
Anyway, I use KDE as my primary desktop environment with SKIM as my unicode input method. After installing SKIM and Japanese fonts back when I first set Arch up, I have never had any issues with inputting unicode or displaying it in any program, whether that be irssi running through Konsole, or the song titles in Amarok. That all changed this afternoon, somehow...
The only major changes I can remember making to my system today are the following:
1.) I installed Awesome Window Manager to check it out
2.) I installed a pkgbuild of urxvt
3.) I made an .Xdefaults file and added these lines to customize my urxvt
After messing around with these things, I decided that Awesome wasn't a suitable WM for me, went back into KDE, and removed the package. I noticed a few strange issues after that though:
1. Foreign characters refuse to display properly in any terminal emulator.
2. Foreign characters come up as jumble in Konqueror now as well, when they never did before:
3. SKIM refuses to let me input Japanese characters with Anthy in any KDE app. The option for Japanese just isn't there, even though I have it installed:
4. Foreign characters display perfectly as tags for songs in Amarok, but if the music file itself has foreign characters in it, the title is garbled and the track is unplayable:
5. SKIM works absolutely fine in non-KDE apps like Firefox:
As seen in the last example, my Japanese fonts are all installed, and SKIM is working as it should in any non-KDE app, suggesting that there are no problems on that end. The issue seems to be with something in KDE, but I have no idea where to begin fixing it. Furthermore, I have no idea what could have caused this issue in the first place. I don't see how installing a window manager or terminal emulator package could have screwed up my fonts, and the .Xdefaults file I wrote just contained config information for urxvt. Nothing else. I even ended up deleting that, but it did not fix my problem.
If you could be of any help, I'd really appreciate it. I have a lot of files with foreign characters in them, and being able to read them is essential.

I was just looking into locales, actually.
My current locale is:
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=
and locale -a brings up:
C
POSIX
en_US.utf8
Is there anything here that could be causing this issue?
I'm curious how my locale got messed with in the first place if this is indeed the problem...
and here is my export:

Major Mixing Issue

Hi,
This is a simple test. You might want to try it yourself. It only takes a minute or two.
When the Test Oscillator plug is inserted in one stereo track (let's say 1KHz @ -12db) then that track is bussed to Output 1-2 > then the level seen on the meters for *Output 1-2 is -12db*. That's good and as it should be.
When a second Test Oscillator plug is inserted (and operating simultaneously with the Test Oscillator on Track 1) then that track is bussed to Output 1-2 > then the level seen on the meters for *Output 1-2 is -6db*. Hmm, the power has doubled.
When a third Test Oscillator plug is inserted (and operating simultaneously with the Test Oscillators on Tracks 1 & 2) then that track is bussed to Output 1-2 > then the level seen on the meters for *Output 1-2 is -3db*. A bad trend is building.
When a fourth Test Oscillator plug is inserted (and operating simultaneously with the Test Oscillators on Tracks 1, 2 & 3) and that track is likewise bussed to Output 1-2 > then the level seen on the meters for *Output 1-2 is now Full Scale, i.e. overloading and distorting.*
*So now we only have four instruments 'playing' at -12db and we have overloading occurring.* It should be realized that real world instruments don't add up so exactly to exacerbate this problem. BUT this does show a major shortcoming of mixing in Logic. I was wondering why my mixing procedure in Logic seems to be a constant going back and lowering levels of the instruments. It has been the number one time-consuming part of mixing in Logic. Also if there are multiple instrument bussed to effects (let's say reverb in this case) that the plugin overloads easily – presumably stemming from the same issue.
Is there some shortcut to get around this additive summing effect? Is there something in Preferences that I've missed?

Ischwartz, What should the Pan be set to, I have it at compensated.... Should it be at zero?
There is no "should" when it comes to the pan law setting. It's a matter of personal preference (which I'll explain in a minute). If you've imported tracks from another project, though, it's a good idea to get info about the pan law used in that project so that it translates well when playing back out of Logic.
Now, to the personal preference bit... I have mine set to -3dB compensated. This is because I like to be able to pan sounds and not have their level change as would happen at a setting of 0dB. You just need to take care to watch your output levels should you pan something rather hard L or R. But under normal circumstances (i.e., if you've set your overall output to peak at -6dB or so to prevent overshoot on your mixes), this isn't usually a problem. If it is a problem, though, just tweak your output(s) or master fader down a bit. The overall balance of your mix will be preserved, it'll just be a little bit lower.

Hi LPopoff,
Per my knowledge, there is no difference for Form library with the RSS Feed.
Please clear the cache in Internet Explorer(IE) and then check the results again.
It seems that IE has cached the feed data and display the result the same as the original one.
Thanks,
