Preserving finished pages in iWeb but taking them entirely offline?

I have some published webpages that I'd like to take offline for a while, but not have to redesign from scratch if I decide I want to put them back online again.
Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

James:
You didn't delete those sites from your iWeb file (Domain.sites) did you? That's where all the source material and information is kept for editing and republishing. If you want to remove the current version you could delete the folder with the site name from your iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb folder. Then when you want to bring it on line just republish from iWeb.
If the site(s) is part of a bigger site you can, in iWeb, remove it from the navigation bar and republish all. The folder with files would still be on your iDisk for use later but not accessible thru the overall site. When you want it back just add that site back to the nav bar and publish again.
Do you Twango?

I trying to publish a web page from iweb, but it doesn't recognize my MobileMe account

I trying to publish a web page from iweb, but it doesn't recognize my MobileMe accouI trying to publish a web page from iweb, but it doesn't recognize my MobileMe account, what can I do?

MobileMe has been discontinued for over 2 years now. You'll need to find a new hosting server for your website.

I Have several pages in iWeb, but only want to host one of them on mobileme

I've got four seperate web pages I've designed in iweb, but I only want one of them to be hosted by mobile me. How do I do this? It seems that it wants to post all of the pages to my account.

Build your sites on separate domain files so that you can load them into iWeb, work on them and publish them separately....

Possible? Recreate my original Homepage pages into iWeb but retain old URL?

I have Tiger in the box and still have to install it.
I just bought iLife '06 today and will install it after installing Tiger.
I already have a .Mac homepage up — created with Homepage Manager.
I am thinking now that I would like to recreate that original homepage but do it with iWeb.
How do I end up with my original homepage pages all re-done into iWeb templates but retain my original .Mac homepage URL? All my friends know that URL. Could someone please explain?

Well really it's not OR but AND. If you want to do away with your old >homepage-style pages and send people to your iWeb pages via the old URL, >then you must put the redirect on the old pages.
Or you could leave the old pages up but add a link that says "Here's my new homepage..." or something like that...
Hi... I see you live in Florida — and hope you are not in any of the traditional hurricane paths!
I think that I want to start copying/recreating my Homepage pages into iWeb pages and accept that I will have a new URL someday in the near future (because I intend to do the copying as fast as I can and not stop). I can send a notice out and change a few other things. However, I have questions for that interim time when I am working on the iWeb pages but not finished with them.
While I am working on iWeb pages, I am given a new URL, right? And thus, I would at that point have two URLs with .Mac. Is that possible? As I see it, the first URL would be the one I have now, which is the address of my present .Mac Homepage Manager Homepage. And the second URL, wouldn't it be the URL of the iWeb pages? That's possible???
I understand the concept of having a redirect page from my original Homepage ultimatly to the new iWeb page, but is it an automatic redirect or one which the viewer can activate if he wants to? I would not want a redirect page to quickly, blindly switch a visitor from the old Homepage to the new iWeb pages which are incomplete.
I don't understand the mechanics of URLs. I don't know what a Redirect Page looks like or how it works and I don't see how I could be working on my new iWeb pages with its new iWeb URL, all the while leaving my present Homepage alone, viewable by visitors with ITS OWN URL.
[several minutes passed]
And now that I have sat here and thought for several minutes, it seems that the easiest thing to do would be to have no redirect page for a while. All that I ask in that case is: Is it possible to do that? Is it possible to have my old/present Homepage viewable while I am working on my iWeb pages?
I think I just solved one of my questions all by myself. If I begin to work on iWeb I will be given a new URL — an iWeb URL. Thus technically, when I Edit and Publish in iWeb, technically, people could view those pages, but chances are they will not if I don't announce the new iWeb URL to them. OK. I see......
I am asking all of this now because I am the type that needs to envision and understand a project from start to finish before I start. I do not like surprises — and cyber surprises have the ability to unsettle me.
Could someone please realign my erratic thoughts? Are my goals possible? Can I have my present .Mac Homepage Manager Homepage viewable and visitable while working away on copying them to my new iWeb site? (I bought iLife '06 yesterday and will install it and Tiger today. Tiger first and iWeb'06 second, as instructed.)

Will you be working on the site with both computers over time? If so Old Toad's Tutorial #21 - Managing an iWeb site from multiple Macs with Dropbox. can show you a way to make it easy to keep the domain file current on both Macs.

HT1338 I've updated my web page in iWeb, but I can't get it to publish

I have updated my website in iWeb, but when I go to publsih the changes it seems to take very long and although when I try to quit it asks if I really want to because it's publsihing it doesn't appear to be doing anything. The last time I updated, it didn't take long to publish, just long for my changes to actually appear on my website. I am publishing to my own URL, not through mobile me. Any advice?

You need to post the steps you took, exactly what is happening, what OS version are you running (32 or 63 bit). No one can begin to help you unless we have more information to try and figure out what is happening.
It sounds like you got iTunes to upgrade and are trying to download the ios5 upgrade for your iPad. Correct? First things to try:
1) reboot your pc
2). Turn off firewall and anti-virus
3). Try again and post the results with any error messages you may get.
Good luck

Home page is blank in iweb, but visible on internet

I have created two web sites in iweb. Everything seemed to go well initially. But as I started to run out of room on my hard drive - I could no longer publish and though I could view my site online - I cannot see my home page (in either site) in iweb. I see no content even though I can see it online. I also cannot see my photo or blog page - though I can see them on line. I have about 8 other pages - that I can see both online and in iweb.
I thought it might be a memory issue and dumped 70g's - but no luck.
One more interesting question. I can rename all of my pages besides one - every time I try it switches back. The page is titled TAhoeA - I cannot change it.
Appreciate any help.

iWeb stores your website data in a domain file. If you ran out of storage then the pages you cannot see on your Mac may not be present in this file. You will probably have to rebuild them.
As for your other issue, try deleting the iWeb preference file Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist and then try renaming the page again.
If that doesn't work, delete it again and restart your Mac.

I started setting up a web page with iWeb. Auto play box is checked, but music will not play when page is opened.

I started setting up a web page with IWeb.
Several proplems so far:
1) Auto Play box checked for music, but music does not start when page is opened.
2) Can't get Quicktime "start/stop" slide to start and finish a section within a long piece of music (classical for example). How does one work the slide bar to do this?

Yes the audio file plays on the iWeb page when I click the play button. I even made sure it played both without the “little boxes” that surround the icon (don’t know the technical name for those), and when I click the music icon without the little boxes.
I did note that the iTunes window that appears when I open the Inspector is not highlighted until I click the music icon and those little boxes appear. Then the Start/Stop, Auto Play, Loop, and Show Movie Controller are highlighted — and work properly.
One other thing. I see that the iWeb icon I am working from says “Domain copy.sites2.” Does that have a bearing on anything?

My iWeb image names are incompatible with FTP servers and must be renamed but I can't find the images in iWeb. I can upload to a desktop file and change them there but then I would need to download them to a new site in iWeb to publish them.

What's the answer?
Thanks

Many thanks to responded to my question and sorry not to get back sooner.
Yes, I discovered by this unfortunate experience that the names of photos are a serious issue if the site is to ever go to an FTP server. Apple should discuss this carefully in their "manual".
One more question: I uploaded the website to a folder on my desktop. When I open it, unlike the photos in iWeb, there are folders for each page which have all the photos in them. I went through each folder and changed the names to be FTP compatible. I'm using iWeb SEO Tool which allows one to upload from this local folder to an FTP server but having trouble.
Is this because there is an imbedment in iWeb that uses the old photo names to link to the actual photos and it can't find them because of the name changes?
Thanks again for your help ...

I'm using iweb 3.4 and trying to load audio files to my web page. everything looks good in iweb but after publishing instead of having a control bar i have a "?". does anyone know what to do?

Where are you hosting the site, how are you uploading the files and what's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?
Adding audio files by dragging onto the web page forces the viewer to have Quicktime installed on their computer in order to be able to listen to them. Look at the audio player options on this page of Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site: Audio Players for your Music Website.

Blog page shows blank in iweb, but can see entries

blog page shows blank in iweb, but can see entries. I have search fro many help hints and currently I have deleted the Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist and restarted (done this a few times) and fixed permissions.
If there is no fix for this, then can someone tell me if I can create a new blog then add the old entries to a new blog ??

Alrighty... i might have found a way to make your blog page shown again.. it's a lot of work tho! Especially if u have had a lot in your entries...
I only have 20 or so entries... What i did was, changing the blog page theme to another theme that has similarities in the blog layout page.. and then switching it back to the theme that you have...
ex. My original theme is the Modern Frame.. I switch it to Water Color theme (check if your blog page is there..) then switch it back to your original theme.
It's not done yet! You have to edit your entries again, in order to get your web original look! i edited it per post! make sure you keep saving it after you edited a little bit of stuff, just to make sure you won't lose it AGAIN...
Once I'm done, i even save another copy of a domain file on my desktop.. you know, just in case..
Mac should fix this iweb problems.. Thank god i only have a few posts by now.. What about people who has hundreds of post...
iWeb should come in handy.. Not giving us more problems..

I have a Mac OS 10.6.8 server in my classroom that I have networked to student accounts on the iMacs in the room. How do I create a folder that allows studnts to place their finished assignments in it, but does not allow them to go in and remove anything from that folder?

You want a "Drop Box" style folder. You should be able to achieve this by creating a folder and giving it permissions similar to the "Drop Box" folder in your users Public Folder (i.e. write only permissions.)

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>

Deleted pages in iWeb and on hosting site but still appear in navbar?

I've deleted a couple of pages in a site built in iWeb and also deleted the files and html of those pages where my site is hosted (Earthlink). However, I'm still seeing the names of those pages in the navbar — NOT in iWeb, but when i actually access the site. The pages themselves are not there anymore, but their names remain in the navbar (and click through to an error msg).
This makes me think I haven't uploaded all the necessary changes. Where does the code for the navbar reside? I reloaded the home file+html (among other pages) but not the index.

If you are using the iWeb default navigation, try publishing to a local folder and upload the feed.xml with your FTP application.
