My website won't publish?????

I have a Macbook and joined Iweb a few months ago. I have made a website, but when I push the Publish button (or go through the menu), it says "Connecting to .Mac" for a long long time and then....nothing. No error message but the site remains red. I have browsed the topics and tried a few things, but none seem to work. Can anyone help?

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
Go the Apple Menu > System Preferences > MobileMe > Sign Out.
_Sign in with a bogus name and password to cause a login failure.
_Close System Preferences
Go to Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access.
_Look in the keychain for your MobileMe member name with a blue cloud next to it. Delete it.
_Go to Keychain Access menu > Keychain First Aid > Repair
_Quit Keychain Access
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches (I remove the whole folder. It will be re-generated upon restart.)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWeb
Once the computer is restarted Go to the Apple Menu > System Preferences > MobileMe > Sign In.
Now launch iWeb and try publishing again. If you get the prompt about using your confidential information in the keychain choose "Always allow".
Hope that helps.

Won't publish my changes....

I use iWeb 09, published my site using MobileMe. It worked perfect. BUT now when I have made changes it won't publish my changes and the icons stays red. I tried Publish site, Publish site changes, Publish entire site. I successfully published my website to a folder on my HD. I updated Iweb, signed out of MobileMe, signed in tried again, over and over and over.... nothing works
Need help!
Thanks

Update: It's working now, for the time being. It's my experience that it's been working on and off for this past weekend up to now. I don't know if anyone else was experiencing problems in that time frame.
I spent that last weekend doing some significant changes to the site, adding a new logo, background and that coverflow animation you see on all the root pages. The site is comprised of 11 pages and 5 blogs, with many entires in each of those 5 blogs. I affected changes to each page, including all the blog entries, and then tried to publish yesterday morning. I think that's when the trouble really started, because I was publishing a high volume of pages at once – MobileMe doesn't seem to like that. This is when I started trying to move the pages to a new site within iWeb, which eventually crashed the program and caused all my early entries in all 5 blogs to get corrupted (that's what I'm calling it at least, because if I clicked on those entries I just got a blank white screen, and if I tried to publish before deleting them I got the "An Unknown Error Occurred" message each time).
What I'm interested in is your suggestion to use Cyber Duck. I've ran into this suggestion before on these forums and so, yesterday, I downloaded Cyber Duck, but am totally clueless on how to use it. I know nothing about FTP but would like to know if A.) will the site load faster going through an FTP service like Cyber Duck or (the other one I hear about a lot) Web Maestro; and B.) If it will make the site load faster, how complicated is the change over and could someone walk a FTP illiterate person like me through the process. I update the site daily and so I can't complicate the process of publishing too much. I hear Web Maestro has selective publishing, maybe that's the way to go?
Also, I've disabled comments on my site anyway, so no fear of that.
Sorry this ran a little long.

Website doesn't publish as expected

I've been having several problems with the website I've published through iWeb. First, one of my pages consists entirely of text. The spacing I used in iWeb is completely changed in the published website. I've tried adjusting the size of the text box, but the spacing seems to affect random places.
The next issue I have is the video samples I put on the website. They don't appear to be loading at all. The two videos are both quicktime, and play through iWeb, but not through the website. One is 1 minute long, the other is 2 minutes. Could this be an issue with website space?
Finally, I have a picture on the home page of my website on iWeb. It isn't appearing on the website after being published.
I am trying to create a website for prospective employers, and I need everything to look somewhat professional. It's essential that my videos work, and that my text is easy to read. Please help me as soon as possible. Thank you so much!
Here is my website: www.stephendietrich.com

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Regarding the movies. The lower movie is in the footer which will prevent it from loading. Increase the height of the body in the Inspector/Page/Layout pane so that both movies are entirely in the body section.
I can't see why the upper movie isn't loading but it locked up Safari on me when I try to access it directly and I had to force quit out of Safari. *Now your site won't load at all* and a couple of times earlier when trying to load your site I got a server is not responding message
How big are the movie files and what is the format of the movie files. Where are you hosting the site, on ns2.host-care.com?
An alternative would be to upload the movie files to a movie sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and embed them with HTML snippets and iFrame code. Examples are on this demo page: Adding YouTube & Vimeo Videos.
For your Resume page are you using just one text box for the entire page or multiple boxes? If you don't need to have visitors copy the text you can convert the text box to an image file by adding a drop shadow to the text and setting it's opacity to 1%. The text box will be converted to an image file and you'll see this icon on the box:

Since it's the only item on the page it shouldn't affect loading.

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!

Embedded videos in many websites won't open.

I have found that the embedded videos on many but not all websites won't open now when I'm browsing in Firefox. I am running 27.0.1. I have Adobe Flash Player installed so that's not an issue. As some examples of non-openers: Embedded videos in some of the news articles on Yahoo!'s home page; videos on the davidlynchfoundation.org site. I tried disabling the "Adblock Edge" add-on, but it didn't change anything. In many cases, their is a big empty space in the text where the video should be, i.e. there isn't any indication that there's a video there. In other cases, I click on the visible start icon, but the screen of the vid just goes to black.
When I switched to Safari, all of these embedded videos opened without a hitch. I'd rather continue with Firefox, but will have to switch to Safari if we can come up with a "fix" for this problem.
I have a MacBook running Snow Leopard. This is a new problem which I haven't experienced with Firefox previously.
BTW: I have only minimal tech skills.
Thanks for any advice/help you can provide.
Dave

Hi Yogidave,
It sounds like the videos are not loading properly. If there are not video controls, but there is a space for the video, this means that the item is loading, but the player is not loading.
In understanding what you tried:
I tried disabling the "Adblock Edge" add-on - it looks like this is no longer in the list of add ons that you have in the troubleshooting information, when you took this out, do the videos still leave space in the page where the video should be?
The examples you used: Yahoo homepage and the davidlynchfoundation: I know the latter uses an embedded youtube video with has its own video player that uses flash, as well at Yahoo. (I am not sure if all the videos are flash in Yahoo)
Since this is the case, can you please check your extensions to see if you have Flash installed or if you have it disabled? If so, please turn it on and visit the sites that are giving you issues to see if this resolves the problem.
This article has pretty simple instructions how to install the player if it is not there[[Install the Flash plugin to view videos, animations and games]]
The only other test I can suggest is to see if another type of embedded video does the same thing. For example, if you have netflix or hulu, see if those video players do the same thing.
I hope this helps. (also I tested those pages in beta and it loads just fine, you are not short of watching videos again in firefox)

After upgrading to Mavericks, some websites won't load (using wifi)?

Hey guys,
I upgraded my Macbook Pro to Mavericks last December. I had some problems when loading some websites (such as eBay, Society6, etc) while I was at home using my home wifi in Indonesia. It's like, sometimes these websites won't load, but sometimes they do.
I've tried different browsers and it's still the same. I thought, it was just the wifi at my home in Indonesia that's problematic, because at work (using cable), the internet's just fine. But THEN, I am now here in Australia, I don't usually have problems with my aprtment's wifi at all, but now it's doing that thing. Some websites won't load properly or won't load at all. I realized that this is most likely has something to do with my laptop (ie. upgrading to Mavericks. I've never had this problem before), because the wifi works just fine with my smartphone and my iPod.
Has anyone encountered similar problem? How do you fix this?
Thanks so much,
S

Hello sharlegit
Try creating a new network location and test to see if the same thing happens of certain websites not working.

Not all of my photos upload to my website when I publish it. when my site finishes publising I get an error that says, "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider."

Not all of my photos upload to my website when I publish it. when my site finishes publising I get an error that says, "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider."

I am publishing directly to an FTP server (option 1). Is this the optimal method or should I be publishing to a folder and then (how do/would I?) publish to my hosting domain?
I'm wondering if this has really anything to do with the publishing process, or whether it just has to do with the photos and/or the photo albums. I've deleted the photo albums with the missing pictures from my site on iweb thinking a file might be corrupt. (I'm getting the albums from iphoto -- drag/drop method into iweb) I then replaced these albums with the same albums as the previous ones from iphoto and then published my site again -- and the EXACT same photos were once again missing in the NEW albums as were missing in the old albums...
Maybe it is a publishing issue, or it could be a photo/file issue. However, these albums aren't very large -- the largest containing 135 photos --
Please! if you have any suggestions or ideas as to what is happening I would be greatly appreciative!
I'm pulling my hair out here trying to diagnose the problem...

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.

Acrobat 3D won't publish with 3D controls in Powerpoint

Acrobat 3D won't publish with the 3D motion controls when published as a powerpoint packaged CD show or as Adobe Presenter files. Controls only appear in the native powerpoint PPT form.

I did a little more testing and here's what I found. If your
audio files reside on a network server (regardless of where your
presentation resides), the publish process will crash when trying
to access the audio. I had to copy my audio files from the server
to my hard drive and import them to the presentation. Then it
published ok. Go figure.

Do I have to have a Website URL to publish a paid book using ibooks author?

Is it required to have a website url to publish a paid book using ibooks author?

A "website" can be very easily created and at no cost.
I suggest Facebook can cater for "feedback" and "product support" although Wordpress and other similar blog sites offer a free service which is suffiecient for the purpose and a free /default page template makes it fairly easy for anybody without knowledge of HTML or CSS - to create a page and learn to add in much more.
The URL, if you did not know is the address line ie http://www.apple.com/

Some photos won't publish

i am using the Publish service (very cool!) to export photos to a specific location on my hard drive. the process is driven by a set of smart collections, and it all works great.
however, i have a handful of photos that won't publish -- they are sitting in the "new photos to publish" or "modified photos to re-publish" areas and they don't get published when i tell that collection to publish.
the publish service exports in JPEGs.
Some are NEFs, others are JPEGs, one is a PSD. All of the NEFs and JPEGs are virtual copies. the PSD is the original.
any ideas what's going on?

>@LKF: I can get CS3 to open files from LR 2, but it works differently than earlier LR releases. With LR 1.4 when I right clicked to edit in CS3 it gave me a choice of which version of the file to edit. It also paired the .psd file with the original .dng when I finished. Now with LR 2 it doesn't do either. Is this a design feature or is something hosed up.
Bug. Will be fixed in the next (first) update. For a workaround set Photoshop the be the secondary editor in the preferences and use it. If you are unclear on how to do this check here:

Director 12 won't publish an iOS app

It was working fine (if lots of bugs appearing on the iPad) and then the certificate ran out.
I updated the keychain cert and the provisioning file and now it won't publish the .ipa file.
Anyone struck this?

There are other issues involving certificates...someone recommended checking the Keychain to make sure there are no duplicate certificates. Also suggested checking to see if there are any certificates in "root", because they should be in "login".
The reason I suspected the codesign phase in the IPA publishing sequence is because Director would progress with the process up until about 99% completion. With the Keychain "locked," the system gives the message asking for codesign permission. That, appearing at the very end of the publishing process, gave me some sort of clue but I kept thinking the certificates were mismatched when they were actually just fine.
It was only when I had the console utility running to see what was going on that I saw the reference to the Xcode path. I had already repeatedly deleted and reinstalled certificates. In my case the failure was because Director couldn't find the Xcode /Developer folder, wherein, I suppose, dwell the Xcode command line tools Director needs to finish the job.
Verbose error messages from Director during the IPA publishing process would be helpful to say the least. There are several places where publishing the IPA can fail.
Something occurs to me...forgive me if this is too obvious a question...but are you using certificates for iOS publishing or are you using certificates for OSX applications? They have to be iOS certificates and provisioning profiles. I assume that is what you have done but I bring it up just in case others may be trying to sign iOS apps with Mac development certificates. I confess that I am not an expert in these matters...
Another thing is to make sure there is an Apple Intermediate certificate in the Keychain. More detail here, near the bottom of the page.
