Photos with iweb 08

When I add photos to any page, either from iphoto or just from the finder they turn quite abit darker. Anyone having this problem and does anyone know a fix or is this a bug?

Everything is there,
the browser can not see it because is pointing to a folder in the computer where I created the site.
My browser, using the code in your page, is pointing to this:
http://www.eol.ucar.edu/projects/t-parc/SiteSurvey_GUAM/Photosfiles/Photos.css
and is being told that it cannot be found.
If Photos_files/Photos.css is present on the server, then I think the permissions on that folder (and the Scripts folder) have somehow gotten botched so that the browser has no access, which would make your site non-functioning.

Problem with iWeb 1.1 photos solved... for me, at least

After updating, some of my photo pages were broken. Slideshow wouldn't work and clicking on a photo would not open a larger version. Some pages, however, did work. After hours of trying to figure this all out, I finally narrowed the problem down. If the page had an apostrophe in the title, it was broken (e.g.:Tyler's Party). If it did not, it worked. These titles worked in the earlier version. Simply deleting one punctuation mark magically made the pages work again. If you are having this problem check this or other punctuation in the titles.

I had the exact same problem and as others have suggested, the apostrophe in the page name could be the culprit of the problem. For me, that was the problem. I had a page named "Dog's day at the beach" and that worked just fine in iWeb 1.0.1. Now with iWeb 1.1, I had to rename is "Dog day at the beach" which luckily has a similar meaning given the context of my photos and when I took it.
A bit bizarre how such a simple apostrophe could escape Apple's iWeb engineers.
I hope this will be fixed in a soon-to-come update.

Problem publishing Photo page with iWeb 08

Hello,
I have a problem when publishing photo pages with iWeb 08. Upload starts and then I get the error message that iWeb encountered a problem while publishing. The funny thing is that I can see
the photo page in Safari. The only problem is that when starting the slide show I can not see the
forward/backward buttons. Publishing a photo page with iWeb from a .me web photo gallery works without any error message, but still when starting the slideshow the navigation buttons are not displayed. Actually if you click on the place where the navigation buttons are supposed to be,
you can go picture forward/backward. Any idea ?

I am having the same issue, except I do not get any error messages when publishing to a folder. Clicking on the "index" file within the folder will open the photo page in both Safari and Firefox. Everything functions as designed except no forward/backward/pause buttons are visible below the slideshow. There are text box outlines with a question mark where these buttons are supposed to be located, and I can pause, advance or reverse slides. Eventually these question mark outlines disappear and stay disappeared.
The end result is there are no intuitive graphic indicators on the slide show to even suggest to the viewer that he/she has some control over the presentation. I don't believe I can add explanatory text boxes to the slide show to compensate for the missing icons. This lack of visible control elements in the slide show is a huge issue. I am reasonable sure the problem does not reside within my computer. I've also reviewed inspector control options for a photo page/slide show and haven't gotten any combination of check boxes to make a difference.
I'm beginning to think this may be an unexpected conflict that was contained within a recent software update. It might well be worth a close look at programming code by Apple technicians. In the meantime, can anyone offer a clue as to what might be going on?

Photo file issues with iWeb and Aperture....also too much duplicating!!

A little background, before I get into my iWeb issue.....
Years ago I tried iPhoto, but I didn't like how it duplicated all my photo files and I wasn't very fond of the file structure it created. Years later (last month) I got Aperture. Aperture (still has a long way to go) also duplicates all your files and places them in their own file structure. If I can get along with Aperture (and if it will get along with my other programs), I won't mind putting all my files into the file structure it creates. But for now, I still have my original files in the original file structure I have had for many years as a back up.
On to my issue with iWeb and Aperture....
To add photos to iWeb, you can either go into the iWeb media center or you can drag and drop photos from other locations.
1st: iWeb media center
To get my photos into the media center, I would have to load them into iPhoto (iP 6 does allow you to keep your original file structure, but it still creates .jpg files, which fills up your hard-drive. More duplicates I don't need or want). So that is out for me. iP6 will let you view and use your Raw files.
Another way is to drag and drop your file structure directly into the media center window. I don't think this duplicates any files (at least I haven't been able to find any), but it takes an awfully long time to thumbnail all your photos (several hours and still waiting for 22K + files). Also, it won't show any Raw files. Again, out for me.
Aperture won't let you drag and drop its library into the media center at all. So if I was to move all my files into the Aperture Library, I wouldn't be able to access them for iWeb at all.....Out for me.
2nd: Drag and Drop
I was able to drag and drop Raw files directly into iWeb from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Adobe Lightroom.
As I said before, I am trying to move over to Aperture. However, Aperture won't let me drag and drop photos. What is the deal here??? These are both Apple programs and they won't play nice with each other. Very annoying.
Anyway, I put a link below to my iWeb test webpage I made. All the photos were Raw files that I did a drag and drop from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Lightroom. There were no problems with the publishing.
http://web.mac.com/phil_navarro/iWeb/Site%202/Drag%20and%20Drop%20test.html
So, does anyone know if they can get photos from Aperture to work?? Thanks for any responses.

Jedi,
Perhaps you are right.
I am not a web developer and I will never be. I don't feel like spending countless hours learning how to use Dreamweaver or some other Pro web app. iWeb looked like a way to start making websites of my photos for my friends and family (much easier and better than Home Page on .Mac). All I was asking was for a way to drag and drop my photos (especially Raw files) with Aperture. Which I can do with Lightroom, Adobe Bridge and C1 Pro, and without using iPhoto.
I am not a Pro photographer either, but I purchased Aperture based on what was advertised on the Apple website. From that ad, Aperture fit my photo needs almost to a tee. I am looking to adjust Raw files, Crop, Archive and keep my use of Hard Disk space down to a minimum. I can use Photoshop for the other 5% of things I do. However, Aperture has some issues (if you own it, then you already know. If you don't, you can read the Aperture Forum) This is one of the reasons I never went to iPhoto for archiving. I didn't like the way it duplicated all my files, taking up more disk space and its file structure. So even though Aperture won't play nice with other programs, I was surprised that it wouldn't play nice with any Apple programs.
After reading your post and based on what you are saying, everyone either needs to have/learn/use Pro apps only or have/learn/use iApps only. Don't Cross the Streams!!
I guess that means Apple will need to fix DVD Studio Pro. It uses photos that are in your iPhoto library and music from iTunes (iApps in a Pro app??....for shame...."it was never intended"). Also, DVD SP won't read the Aperture library. Does that mean there are 3 platforms? Pro, iApp and Mediocre??
Now I have 2 questions:
1. Can someone please tell me which apps are Pro and iApp, or if there is Mediocre? I don't want to mix them up and "Cross the Streams".
2. Again....is there anyway to use Aperture with iWeb?
TIA,
Narvon

I'm working to set up my website with iWeb and it won't let me import photos from iPhoto! Whats up?

I'm working to set up my website with iWeb and it won't let me import photos from iPhoto! Whats up?

Will Image capture (in your applications foldr) see them and bring to disk? If so then once they are safely off the memory card and on disk use the camera's format command to reformat the memory card
and can you impoprted to iPhtoo from disk? Will preview open the photos on disk?

Problem with iWeb 09, after the publication in a local file.

*Subject: problem with iWeb 09, after the publication in a local file, i can't see my blog, nor my photos, but before that all was working fine.*
After the publication in the local file, I see all my pages, but there is a mistake on the page "Blog" where I just can see the top of my page, it's cut and I can't see it entirely, so I can't see the inputs while I should see 3 news or 3 inputs. And it's the same for the "Photos" page where the page is cut, I can't see the photos, and it's just written : "Put the slide show and subscribe".To finish, when I want to activate the comments, it doesn't work neither.
Please help me.

I want to activate the comments, it doesn't work neither.
The comments feature is only available when you publish to the MobileMe server, so I don't think you can use it when you publish to a local file.

How I do to open a website created with iWeb in other computer

Hi,
My web site was created with iWeb last year in other computer, a dead MacBook. I have a copy of my web files created with iWeb, and moved to my new computer, iMac.
Now I want to edit my web using iWeb, but I can´t find the way to open the files to modify and actualize my web, etc...
Does anyone know how to do this? can iWeb open and edit a web site created by itself?
Help will be appreciated,
Felix.-

Felix ~ No, only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
“Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but *there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb*. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.”
If you don't have a backup of your Domain file (e.g. via Time Machine), paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

Duplicate photos in iWeb photo gallery

A photo gallery in iWeb repeats it's self. The last half of the photo's repeat, then about half of those repeat again. some of the photos are shown 3 or 4 times. This site is important for my business and looks unprofessional. Also I think it slows down the loading time. Can anyone help me resolve this issue? Photos were loaded using iLife 08.
The site is at;
http://web.mac.com/g4ken/Site_3/Portfolio.html
THANKS

Yes, the duplicates do show up in iweb before publishing. I have a splash page set up on another server with a link to this gallery. I am afraid that if I delete and republish that album that it will have a new address and then the splash page will have to be reconfigured. I would have to go pay to have that done. Do you think if I erased it and started over I would get the same web address?
Those photos with out credits were taken by me. The ones with credits are from photographers who are allowing me to use their photos.
Your help is much appreciated.

How do I Add Music to the Slideshow in photos in Iweb

How do I add a song from my itunes library to play while viewing the slideshow portion of my photos in Iweb'09? I have tried this numerous times throughout the day today but am getting nowhere.
Also, can I add a video portion of the Letterman Top Ten list to a page in my Iweb?
Thanks

That's not an option with iWeb. You can add a song to the photos page that will play automatically (and loop if desired) that would continue to play when the viewer clicks on the slideshow button. This demo page has such a setup.
I don't remember if Cyclosaurus (our resident javascript expert) had posted a solution via javascript and an HTML snippet. You might search the entire iWeb forums for posts by Cyclosaurus with a topic of slideshow music or something similar.

I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

Hello al!
I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

Just create a new page (or use the existing photo page) on your external site and use html to add an iframe sized to the page and link it to the mobilme gallery page. Works for me just fine when showing my gallery from a yahoo site.
like this
<iframe scrolling="off" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" style="width:100%;height:100%;border:none" src="http://gallery.me.com/your_account_name"></iframe>

Strange issue with iWeb site, please help

Hi everyone,
Until recently, I've been keeping an iWeb blog of my time in India. Nothing too complicated, just stories and photo albums. However, recently something strange has happened, and the website is no longer displaying correctly. It looks fine in iWeb, and when I publish it in a folder and open it locally, everything is fine. However, after uploading it to my hosting provider, it looks like this:
http://www.egbertopreis.nl/India/
(screenshot of what it looks like here: http://egbertopreis.nl/website_screenshot.PNG )
This is a screenshot from iWeb of what it should look like: http://www.egbertopreis.nl/iWeb_screenshot.png
I'm using the 'darkroom' theme, but as you can see, something is clearly wrong. It is not displaying the menu correctly, the layout looks strange and it isn't loading any of the articles. The other pages are accessible if you navigate there directly, but there you have the same problem.
It looks like, for some reason, the CSS and javascript elements cannot be loaded, although I have no idea why this might be the case. They are all just static files, and it worked fine until about a week ago.
Although I'm an IT professional, I have literally no idea what could cause a problem like this. I went with iWeb because I wanted to use an 'easy' solution and not over-engineer something for once
Usually what I'd do in a situation like this, is just purge the whole site and re-upload it. However, since I'm traveling around, I don't have fast internet access anywhere and the site is now so large that it would take forever to completely re-upload. This is also the reason why I can't troubleshoot it properly myself...
Any help (or even words of encouragement :-)) whatsoever would be extremely welcome. Thanks in advance!

Edit: Forgot to mention what I already tried myself;
- deleted the HTML and XML files and let iWeb do 'publish changes'. Everything was re-uploadeded, but issue remained.
- Deleted the 'Scripts' folder on the remote host, and manually re-uploaded from locally published folder. No effect.
- Tried randomly changing layout items in the hope that any potentially corrupted files might be overwritten after publishing. No effect.

Hi Roddy, thanks for your reply. It wasn't just me though; a lot of other people from back also reported the same issue. I was also getting the same thing from behind a wired connection. You can still see and experience the issue yourself if you look here.
I've since 'resolved' the issue by getting a .Mac trial account. A friend helped me move the whole blog over there, where the site works as it is supposed to:
http://web.me.com/eggmeister/India/
Therefore the issue has to be with the hosting. Right now I'm suspecting it might be some obscure configuration issue with the hosting company's server. Maybe something like too low a setting for Apache's 'MAX REQUESTS'. This might cause issues with all the javascript going on in the iWeb pages, loading elements back and forth. I'm in contact with the hosting provider, and will let you know what I find. Might be useful for future reference.

Publication of photos from iweb to mobile me produce an error

I am no longer able to publish photos from iweb to my mobile me site
The process starts well; but some minutes after, it stops at a file (not always the same) as if the time was up or the size too large (I have plenty of room in Mobile me).
It has worked some months ago for the first set of photos ...
thanks for you help

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
1 - go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
2 - login with a bogus username and password. This clears the caches.
3 - login with your correct username and password.
4 - launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
3 - reboot.
4 - launch iWeb and see if you can publish.
If that doesn't help:
5 - move the domain file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
6 - launch iWeb, create a new test site and save.
7 - go to the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
8 - move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
9 - launch iWeb and try again.

Create an e-commerce site with iWeb?

I know iWeb has some e-commerce features like the ability to place Google Ads, but I want to create a full e-commerce site with features like an ordering page that takes paypal and credit cards, autoresponders, a pop-up form on the home page that offers to subscribe visitors to my newsletter, possibly a popup that asks visitors if they really want to leave without subscribing, etc. These advanced features are beyond my capability to learn easily, and I understand that I should be willing to hire someone to do this if I ultimately want to earn some money. BUT, what if I want to create the site in iWeb? Would I have to hire an HTML expert who’s familiar with iWeb? Is iWeb up to this task or should I use a different editor for this purpose?

Timothy ~ iWeb is intended for designing personal websites. It doesn't have the level of control at the HTML level to create sophisticated e-commerce websites. You could consider using a web store builder such as eCRATER or Shopify.
The free, web-based Posterous blogging system has an integrated connection with Shopify. You can post photos, video, and documents to your Shopify store blog simply by sending an email with any rich media attached. Read more here.
An alternative to iWeb is RapidWeaver which has a PayLoom plugin which lets you create special pages that interact with PayPal Shopping Cart.

Complete Success with iWeb 08

Well after reading all the Horror stories here I was mucho frightened! So I of course backed up my Domain document although I knew I have a mirror Cloned using CCC thats in my Tower. The 'conversion' completed without a hitch till after the progress bar was finished. Then it Crashed and asked to reopen. When I reopened it Crashed again, so the next effort I hit close to let the app properly cycle and button itself up.
Next attempt it did reopen and stayed opened. So seeing all those 'Red" folders (6 photo pages) I hit the Publish Button on the bottom of the screen. It proceeded to do its thing, but I noticed that now there was a progress bar instead of the little Pie indicator to the right of the Site name. I simply waited.. Then the Pie progress indicator did Indeed appear, and I saw on my Net Monitor app, that the site was now uploading. It seemed to be finished but the Circle of the indicator was still appearing - So I WAITED some more and after a while the empty Circle disappeared and I got a Dialog Box that told me it was complete!
So there were 2 instances that I thought perhaps the import/conversion process was Done when in fact IT WAS NOT. I could have probably Tanked my entire site had I not waited patiently. So buyer Beware. Allow the procedures to COMPLETE, as I bet many will not, and end up with an incomplete conversion, Hence not working. I thank God I had the good sense or fortune to wait and was relieved to get a Dialog Box that told me it was completed and asked me If I wanted to close or Visit my site. I copied the web address from that Dialog Box and closed the iWeb app, opened Safari pasted the address and my full site was there. ( It opened with placeholders but in a few seconds the pictures all populated) Whew.. YMMV moral, be patient and wait a few minutes when you think its done, it may Not Be.

Glad to hear that it worked for you. But I am really starting to wonder where I went wrong then, because I did not use third-party anything with iWeb, and I can't update my '06 domain file. iWeb just freezes, shows as "Not responding" and in red in the Force Quit window. I don't believe there's any point in trying to wait that out.
And not only that, but when starting over with a fresh domain file, iWeb '08 crashes or freezes all the time too. I'm a big Apple fan, and I haven't lost anything important because I backed it all up and have a second Mac to rely on, but seriously, this is bad. It's just bad. I can't come up with any excuses for this one (or the stripped-down new iMovie, but I digress). I have a straightforward site -- based on "modern" template -- I don't understand why the new version of iWeb can't read it. I understand even less why iWeb '08 would be crashing with a brand new domain file.
My site is here: http://web.mac.com/mousie/iWeb/Site/Home.html
If anyone can see any reason why I may be having these problems, please let me know. I've tried all the tricks to "get it to work" that I could find on this forum. Thanks.

Incorporating an album created with iweb into a website created with Dreamw

Hi, is it possible to create photo albums with iweb (I know, the answer to that is YES) and then incorporate them into my website created with Dreamweaver? If so, can anyone explain to me how to do this? I cannot find, on the 'puter, where the albums are stored! Sorry, I am NOT a computer expert:( Thanks in advance.

Thank you Wyodor :)) I now understand! Publishing to a folder on my computer and then using it in DW. I have tried that but iweb got "stuck" during the transfert, so I'll try again. I am NOT computer orientated but, strange as it may sound, I find it much easier to use DW than iweb!!!
On my pc I was fine using DW and Photoshop but since migrating to Mac I had problems creating my picture galleries - photoshop would only let me use 25 characters in my file names! (when creating the picture gallery). I am NOT good at explaining things but if you care to look at my site you will see what I mean (under cards - Drool cards 2009/10, for example) www.bassettissimmo.com So somebody suggested using iweb. I tried it out but found myself getting stuck - I have so many folders, sub folders and sub sub folders! But I found that the photo albums were far more attractive than those I could create in photoshop, hence my question to this forum.
Someone has already asked the question, and YES I do need very long file names!. There are about 10,000 (ten) photos on my website - it's a basset hound collectables museum! Thus, I like to give as much information as possible about each card or object. For example, in the cards section there will be the number of the card, type and if relevant artist, plus country of origin. Ex: 3452 greetings card, Pam Tanzey, USA.jpeg. So you see, 25 characters is not enough and I have not found a way in photoshop to solve this problem.
Thank you again for your help.
