No more publishing

I fail to publish anymore my calendar using my .Mac membership after inadvertely deleting some files in Preferences of the Library. A message indicates that publication failed as .Mac does not respond to the request.
What can I do ?
Thanks

Hello,
Did anyone already experienced this behaviour, this becomes critical for me.
I lost all me news one more time : the xml files are still there, but can not be displayed as news ...
Please help

  • Yet more publishing errors

    I've been playing with iWeb a bit since it was released, and whenever I actually sit down and do some proper web stuff I get publishing errors.
    Publishing Error
    An error occurred while publishing file "shapeimage2_rollover4.png"
    I've had this lots of times now. At first I thought it was me doing something wrong, but now I'm getting very frustrated. I have no idea which file 'shapeimage2_rollover4.png' is, and since this error seems to halt iWeb in its tracks, leaving an unpublished site, what do I do ? I've deleted everything and started again about 4 times now, and now I'm at the point where I'm thinking iWeb is simply too riddled with bugs to be of any value. Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong, or is iWeb just buggy junk ?
    Sorry for the sour tone - I'm getting very frustrated.

    I have been having all the probems as well. My
    lastest is "an unknown error occured". So what am I
    to do with this?
    My issue seems even worse: I can't even publish on local folder. The publish stops at the very same moment, just like if a page or a specific file is corrupted. That's a real bore...
    I read in someone responses to
    delete all the files on your hard drive, in iWeb,
    site and upload agian. I did try that, and seems like
    it worked. I may try again. Will let this thread know
    what happens.
    I did this. It changed... nooooo-thing
    I hope they'll fix and improve this. I've bought iLife 06 specifically for iWeb and I just can't use it... Pfew...

  • How to detect 'publisher gone away'

    I've written a simple publish/subscribe solution using a topic as opposed to a queue paradigm. I start the server, establish a JMS destination, etc., etc., then start the client last (of course). All is well.
    Now imagine the server gets stopped for some reason. The client carries on regardless. The problem, though, is that when the server restarts, if it tries sending a message to the client, the client never receives it - presumably because the publish/subscribe connection has been lost ??
    Is there a simple way (code snippet ?) of the client detecting that it has lost the connection to the publisher it originally connected to ? Some sort of polling mechanism in a separate thread perhaps ?
    Gary Roussak

    Thanks all for your attention so far - but I'm still struggling.
    I certainly believe all the advice you are generously giving me at the moment, but am not sure how it is relevant to me. I am sure I'm probably being stupid here - but as I say, I'm unfamiliar with the real innards of JMS.
    Can I ask you to bear with me whilst I try again to explain the detail of my problem ? And, by the way, the problem is not necessarily about detecting that the JMS provider has gone away, but in getting the subscriber to re-connect successfully.
    My JMS provider is J2EE itself, i.e. I'm using J2EE 1.3.1 which has its own classes to implement the JMS API.
    My solution is extremely unsophisticated at this stage, based as it is on the SimpleTopicPublisher/SimpleTopicSubscriber example code in a JMS tutorial from earlier this year.
    I start the J2EE server and then create a 'Topic' (e.g. 'MyTopic').
    I now run up the Publisher client I've created. Think of it as a basic Swing GUI which allows the operator to write a message and transmit it. The Publisher does the usual stuff: establish initial context, establish topic conn factory, lookup the topic name, create connection, create session, create publisher, start connection. And then it sits there waiting for an operator to publish. It is coded to properly clear up all JMS resources when it exits.
    Next I run up the Subscriber client. It sits invisibly in the background. Set up is a mirror image of the Publisher except of course it creates a subscriber object instead of a publisher object. And that's it - it idles, waiting for onMessage() to be called. The connection is left permanently started. The only extra is this: instead of using your onException() approach, every five seconds, my Subscriber loops around testing to see if it can still get an initial context and then a factory object - temporary ones, not the same as the ones I've already instantiated. Yes - I know this is a horrible way to do it - but it's all I could think of before you told me about onException(). Let's refer to it as my 'test loop'. If it passes, I know everything is OK, if it fails, I know something has gone wrong. And as far as that goes, it DOES work.
    I now publish a message and the Subscriber gets it. No problems.
    OK. I now quit my Publisher. The test loop in the Subscriber doesn't fail, but that's not a problem because, if I restart my Publisher some seconds or minutes later and try to publish a message, the Subscriber gets it. So I can suffer the Publisher going down without any impact at all on the Subscriber.
    I now quit my Publisher. But then I also follow that with a 'j2ee stop' as well so as to simulate the J2EE server box suffering a major problem. The test loop in the Subscriber now fails: it establishes initial context, but fails to establish a factory. Quite understandable. In the meantime, the test loop continues going round every 5 seconds, trying to set up a new initial context, factory, topic, connection, session, etc. And, whilst J2EE remains down, the loop repeatedly fails. Just what I wanted.
    Now I restart J2EE (and also start my Publisher client again). However, the test loop in the Subscriber never recovers, i.e. it always establishes initial context, but never re-instantiates a factory object (and thus cannot do the remaining setup steps either, thus it never receives any more published messages of course). And I can't understand why this is the case - why shouldn't the test loop recover fully if I'm doing all the setup steps again ? If I start a brand new Subscriber client process, it works fine. But what's the difference ? New process id ? new threads ? Am I trying to do something that would not be expected to work ? Why ?
    And why is this approach important to me ? Because the user whose PC is running the Subscriber client should not be expected to monitor the health of the client. If the client dies, software should be able automate its restart.
    Does this explain the situation more ?

    More Publish Problems!
    Ok... So now that I have been working on my sites when I publish I get "Publish Error" an unknown? Help... I am using iWeb 1.1.1 and thought that this word be an easy way for students to get access to some pod casts... Now what? This worked before using 1.1.1
    Sometimes it works and most of the time it will not publish? What can I do?

    Oh my god I am not a lunatic idiot after all!
    I am currently in discussion with Apple Support for exactly the same problems as you guys, all I did was add a new video to my site. The first few times the update timed out as it was taking more than 30 minutes to upload (I am on broadband and the new page was only 7 meg). Then I got the ".Mac servers were busy please try later" message, then I got the "check your isp.." gubbins. Then when I tried again it said the update was successful but when I visited the site (via a number of different computers and networks) I either could not access the site at all, or it partly loaded, or the welcome page loaded correctly but when going to other pages I got nothing!
    I am currently waiting for Apple Support to " get back to me"

  • Office 365 publishing site

    Hi All,
    I have a publishing site in Office 365, and we have created pages, and added content editor web parts in those pages.
    Now the requirement is we need to create one more publishing site, and have all those pages with web parts moved to the new Site collection. As we have more than 50 pages, configuring the same will be time consuming. Please assist.
    Thanks
    Senthu

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to create site with all those pages with web parts.
    Per my knowledge, when you create a publish site, it will have a “Pages” library.
    Though you save the “Pages” library as template in the previous site, you cannot create a new “Pages” library in the new site.
    As a workaround, you can create library with another name.
    Here is a similar thread for your reference:

  • How to distinguish between two publish services

    Hi,
    I have two instances on a published service plugin, but how can I distinguish between them. Currently, I'm accessing the publish service via
    activeCatalog:getPublishServices( _PLUGIN.id ) which returns just an array. So far so good. But when I change some settings in the Publishing Manager for "instance-A" everything in "instance-B" is changed to the same values as well.
    What I'm doing wrong? Please help!
    Thanks,
    Lars

    It is definitely possible to maintain separate sets of settings for two or more
    publish connections of the same publish plug-in.
    Without more detail on what exactly your code looks like, it is difficult to say what's not working right.
    The contents of 'exportPresetFields' should be maintained on a per-connection basis.

    There are a number of things that can cause this, such as:
    DNS is misconfigured to support a parent-child-additional tree forest.
    Incorrect DNS zone replication scope for the design, which points back to the point #1.
    AD Sites are misconfigured for the physical environment. For example if you have a hub and spoke physical environment, you can't use the default settings that bridge all sites (BASL) and must individually configure them.
    Incorrect DNS settings on the DCs.
    Multi-homed DCs.
    Time service is not configured properly and/or syncing from the VM host, which should be configured otherwise (Microsoft, VMware and Citrix have KBs explaining this).
    Default security settings at either the parent, child or both domains, have been altered.
    Firewalls between DCs, such as perimeter firewalls, or installed antivirus protection features if not excluded on DCs properly, will cause this, too.
    That's the short list. If you can describe some of the points above, it may help us pinpoint where the issue may be.

  • KMS server: Office2010 & Win7 react in different ways...

    Hi,
    we have a virtual infrastructure using Win7 and Office 2010.
    Before introducing Office2010, the KMS host was on a Win2008 server, then we decided to move it to a Win7 machine with the Office2010 extension installed. KMS functions were disabled from the Win2008 server.
    What happens now is that Win7 OSs are regularly activated by KMS, while Office2010 installations are not... we have verified that the old KMS is no more publishing itself on DNS and that the correct DNS entry is present for the Win7 KMS host. Using nslookup
    for further verification also gives the correct results.
    Nevertheless, Office 2010 is unable to activate itself on the desktops. We are able to activate the Office2010 instances just using the VAMT tool, forcing the KMS activation for the selected desktops AND manually forcing the IP of the KMS server: when leaving
    the tool search the KMS (using the DNS), it fails. Since (as stated before) nslookup gives the expected results (on the same machine where VAMT is installed and failing!), we really don't know what to do... everything seems to be ok, but actually it isn't:
    where?
    Thank you for your help

    I was just looking through questions with no replies.  Do you still need assistance with this issue?

    hiya -- all of sudden during my last publish the 'see older posts' which is still linked to my archive doesn't work. when it publishes and you click on 'see older posts' it's a dead link. in iWeb i can see the entire archive.. though it is not publishing? any help is greatly appreciated thanks!

    No, sorry — WordPress can't import iWeb blogs so I suppose you'll have to copy & paste. You've probably already seen these links, but for other readers:

    Some of their design themes have tabs:

    It's also possible to make a tab link directly to an external URL, such as your iWeb site — see HERE.

  • Cp6 - Have I reached the 'limits' of what can be done with Captivate?

    Earlier, I wrote about a crashing problem with Captivate: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1140677
    But it seems that the extra slides I have added have brought Captivate down to being so slow, it is unusable.
    To get to the bottom of what is causing the problem; I started by hiding about 1/2 the slides and then publish, everything work... the course is responsive. Then I unhide a few more, publish again, and repeat. What I am noticing is that the responsiveness gradually becomes slower and slower.
    At 22 slides, the course is already beginning to show some sluggishness; at 40 slides, the course is impossible to run (see my above listed thread).
    What the heck is going on? This is unacceptable!
    Have I done something wrong along the way? Is anyone else out there using Captivate to build full self-paced training?
    I still need to insert another 15 slides before this course is complete but seem to have hit a roadblock!
    I have also tested externalizing much of the content but that had zero affect!
    Any advice?
    BTW:
    - Total size of project folder (components are externalized): about 5MB
    - The course is self-paced, meaning that I use custom FORWARD/BACK button for navigation. I am not using a skin with a playbar.
    - I have very few animations/aka Effects
    Thank you,
    Shawn

    Thank you for your reply Andy.
    (BTW- if you notice any weirdness in my reply - I am on my iPhone and mobile Safari isn't entirely compatible with this forum)
    I agree, it isn't the number of slides that is the problem but perhaps it is the type of slide. I have 10 min video simulations of well over 100 slides that function perfectly.
    However, this is my first time building an entire course in Captivate and I have noticed a trend in the course slowing down which each addition to the content.
    Because this is self-paced with custom nav buttons (no playbar), each slide button controls pause at 2 sec (unless there is an Effect on the slide and more time is required). Typically, each of the 30-40 slides is between 2-4 seconds.
    The learners can only jump to a specific slide via the TOC.
    IMPORTANT NOTE: when I posted this message, there was a 6 second delay from clicking a nav button and the next slide appearing. However, since deleting 9 Smart Shapes (that acted as a topic menus that allowed the learner to jump to specific topics) - I have since replaced these Smart Shapes with simple bullets and all Jump To's removed. As a result, the unacceptable 6 second delay is reduced to about 2.5 seconds. Still not good but a significant improvement.
    I have no audio but I do have inserted SWF software simulations. It is important to point out that removal of the sims had no affect on the responsiveness.
    The poor responsiveness spans all tested systems both from with Captivate and as a published SWF (with and without externalizing resources).
    Hosted on AICC LMS but in this situation, not relevant.  :)
    Thanks for your advice.

  • IWeb 1.1 SOLUTION FOR DOTMAC USERS???

    Hi, here is a possible solution for people publishing to dotmac.
    In iWeb, publish your site to a folder - save it somewhere on your system.
    There should be TWO items: your "site" folder and an index.html file.
    Navigate to your iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb and locate your site folder AND an index.html.
    Make sure you are IN the iWeb folder.
    REMOVE these TWO items (YOU CAN TRASH THEM, BUT BEST MOVE THEM SOMEWHERE SAFE). This may take some time - site size and internet speeds.
    Now copy the two items: (your "site" folder and an index.html file) that you previously publishedto your system, INTO THE IWEB FOLDER ON YOUR IDISK. Once again this may take some time ("zo find zomething else to do...").
    If you find that there is no iWeb folder on your iDisk, have another go at trying to publish from iWeb to your dotmac. When it fails there is a good chance that at least it will have got as far as creating it - NOW REPEAT ABOVE.
    Hope this helps, it worked for me, see: Recordiauawen.com
    Good luck

    I'm glad this is working for you. Can you tell us if
    this method breaks any of the .Mac exclusive
    features? Like search or counters, or password
    protection, maybe slideshow functionality? I'm
    thinking that it might because you are publishing to
    a folder first, so iWeb might not include those
    things tied in with .Mac.

    I reckon that publishing this way should enable ALL of the features that you would normally expect on your site. The downside is that it can all take a long time to do, unlike publishing straight out of iWeb - therefore, try and make sure that you've DOUBLE CHECKED all your stuff, (links, spelling etc) otherwise changing one word etc, may take some time.
    I must confess that I haven't implemented any of the new features included
    with the 1.1 update - so I couldn't say as to wether these work or not.
    It would appear that other people are having problems with these new features, these may be bugs or just more publishing issues.
    Possibly, try to return your site to its pre 1.1 state and then try the 'solution'
    For me at least it allowed me to reinstate the site after my first attempt to publish in 1.1 totally ruined it. (things all out of place etc etc.)

  • NI 1772 VBAI Webserver

    Hello
    we are using the NI1772, CVI 2012 and VBAI 2012 for an application. On the smart cam 1772 we have a webserver to publish pictures. With the cvi2012 application we publish these pictures with an IE Active X. This application worked for several months in a very good way. No we have a problem that the picture are not more published correctly. Instead of the pictures we get a strange IE view (attached to this post). The application itself is still running correctly but the pictures are not more published.
    Does anyone have an idea what could happened?
    thanks

    Hello Brad,
    no we didn't do anything. This happened on a start on a monday morning. The system is shut down over the weekend. It ran for months, windows updates were all disactivated. No changes.
    Meanwhile we tried several time to push the three buttons and then the picture came back, but on the wrong position. We made a restart and the picture appeared again, but still on the wrong position.
    This is very strange, the application ran for months, the stuck, we re-installed several time the camera new, nothing happened and now the picture is back but on the wrong position. OK, the application ran again, and the wrong position of the picture is only cosmetic but we do not have any idea why this happened.
    Do you have any ideas?
    thanks

  • IDVD won't install from iLife '09 disk

    Are there any reports of bad iLife '09 DVD pressings? I just tried to install iLife on two of my late model Macs- a Dual 2.3GHz Power Mac G5 (Late 2005) with Superdrive, and an Intel iMac 24" (Mid-2007) model- and the installer grayed out the iDVD selection in the Custom Install on both machines, telling me that it could only install iDVD on Macs with a SuperDrive. WTH? They BOTH have SuperDrives, and they each have an install of iDVD from iLife '08. I know that these SuperDrives both work, because I've used iDVD to burn DVDs on both of them. What am I missing?

    Honestly I don't know if iDvd'08 vs. iDvd'09 are the very same version. But they are very close. Not much has changed if you are looking at iDvd alone. Still no blu-ray support within either version. Seems to me that Roxio Toast and it's Blu-ray plug in, picks up where iDvd left off (with the exception of Apple's Final Cut Studio which is much more money and has rather large learning curve).
    Btw, this is not intended to compare Toast with iDvd since really one is authoring software vs. a disc burning utility. It's like comparing apples and oranges (no pun intended). However, Toast is getting more improvements lately vs. iDvd.
    Did a search on Yahoo and here's what came up which seems like a valid assessment:
    iLife '09 isn't as large of an update as previous iLife releases. In fact, iDVD was hardly changed, if at all. GarageBand received a facelift and has a bunch of new features, probably the most prominent of which being the artist lessons. iMovie got a few new features like image stabilization, themes and more, and isn't as annoying to use as the previous version. iPhoto got a lot of small tweaks, as well as the Faces and Places features and integration with Facebook and Flickr. iWeb also got a few enhancements, like more themes, more publishing options, and more widgets.
    As for which is better, go with iLife '09. Both are good suites of applications, but if you have the money, go ahead and upgrade. The few new features you'll find are worth it.

  • Confused... JPG with Transparency in Flash?

    Hi,
    I am working in Flash 8 on a PC. I have a cut out image of a
    person's head, that is sitting on a layer above a background
    graphic on a lower layer. When I look at the head image's bitmap
    properties, it tells me it is a JPG (I pasted it in from
    Fireworks). Q. :: How can the image have transparent areas (i.e.
    the cut out region around the head) when it is a JPG? It works
    well, but I want to make the head image an external JPG, and can't
    figure out how to get te same effect. (I don't want to use GIF as
    the image of the head is a photographic image.)
    Perhaps it is possible to import a PNG into Flash with a
    transparency? ... in Flash 6 player?
    Thanks for your help.
    Geoff

    > Perhaps the file is in JPG form with a black
    > background, and Flash knows to make the black an alpha
    channel somehow?
    Yes .. that is what it does.
    When you imported the image in a format that must have had
    transparency,
    Flash was able to get that set up internally.
    For those who want to know more, published SWF files can only
    have four
    image formats in them
    1) zip compressed 8-bit image (with or without alpha)
    2) zip compressed 16-bit image (no alpha)
    3) zip compressed 32-bit image (with or without alpha)
    4) jpeg compressed image (with or without zipped alpha)

  • Client framework within SSIS to Access OData Remote Host

    I need some advice on which direction to go regarding the best way to import data from an OData remote host to an mssql2012 instance. On average the data that I would need to import consists of 15 data objects, 8 of which require about 14,000 rows averaging
    about 1,200 bytes per row. The other remaining objects average about 1/3 of that. This will execute about 4 times per day.
    I have created an SSIS controller package using C# scripting with the System.Net.Http classes as a POC, which manages the thresholds and parallelism of accessing and writing the data. This was developed on the Visual Studio version 12 IDE, some of which
    I made visible here: (Stackoverflow Code Review ) . The code works, however, there are timeouts that manifest as thread
    drops/task cancellations, etc. during peak operational hours.
    It is time for me to refactor this package in such a way, that it can be used as an OData pattern we can use in our shop going forward.  I am uncertain how to address this challenge. There are conflicting references online--some approaches lean toward
    WCF, others point out newer asp.net OData assemblies, etc. I am unclear on Microsoft's direction regarding OData consumption of remote data. There is more published clarity on providing OData services as a provider for clients to consume.
    The more ideas, thoughts, etc. that I hear from this community the better! :)

    Arthur,
    Yes, there have been timeout occurrences. I've addressed these by switching up asynch calls to bisynch calls where I wait for return communication--then manage the result accordingly.
    I am doing all of the OData data retrieval and session management through c# tasks within SSIS as an http client to the remote host.
    The OData component you and David mentioned is not included in this POC because I was unable to get it to connect to the 3rd party uri without throwing an xml parsing error on connect attempts. I was however, able to use the OData component in another SSIS
    package connecting to Sharepoint as service documents. I don't have that option for the 3rd party objects.
    This is less of a question and more of an open discussion. Faced with an OData component that isn't working in SSIS, what approach would you take?
