Problems publishing to MobileMe

Hi gang,
I have the latest version of iPhoto, and have used iPhoto to publish a number of Mobile Me galleries. Now I've run into problems. When creating a new Mobile Me gallery using iPhoto's Share function, I get an error stating that the gallery has been removed. I tried making a gallery from the Mobile Me website, and then adding photos from iPhoto. That seemed to work, but then I noticed that the photos that iPhoto had uploaded were not full resolution (I think they were the Optimized versions), even though the gallery is set for Actual Size photos.
I need to share these photos, and have never had problems with iPhoto and Mobile Me in the past. Any ideas how to proceed?
Cheers!

You can publish successfully, if you uncheck the option of adding photos via email.

Problems publishing to MobileMe after upgrade to iWeb '11

I have a web site created in iWeb '08 which worked well. Upgraded to iLife '11 this weekend.
I opened iWeb and the pages of the site showed as having been changed (page names displayed in red). I added a countdown timer widget to the main page to see what it would look like and selected to republish the entire site to MobileMe.
iWeb had been chugging for hours now (tried this twice). The little "pie" progress icon next to the site name shows that the site is almost done publishing (showing a complete "pie") but it looks like it is still chugging.
I checked my site online (www.cruisenotebook.com) to see if it was the progress icon that was incorrect but am noticing that many elements are mising. The menu at the top of the page is missing, the countdown widget is not showing, an HTML snippet on the main page is not showing and any photo galleries are empty. So maybe it hasn't completed publishing...?
iLife '11 is new, so I don't know if anyone has had much change to work with it, but since iWeb did not change in this release, maybe someone has had similar problems with iWeb '09? (I didn't upgrade to iLife '09 because I wanted to avoid upgrade issues, but I was worried about getting too far behind the current version so I upgraded. This'll teach me!)

Try the following:
1 - close iWeb.
2 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
3 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
4 - reboot.
5 - launch iWeb and see if there's any improvement.
If that doesn't help continue:
6 - move the domain file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
7 - launch iWeb, create a new test site and save.
8 - go to the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
9 - move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
10 - launch iWeb and try again.

Tried this suggestion. The new test site publishes correctly. I put the original domain file back into the folder and tried republishing. A similar error is displayed (a different file name however). I did get more the site published though. The menu appears on the pages now, but there are still some elements on the site that do not appear.
I am going to try publishing the site to a file and see how that works.
Thanks for your help, though!

IWeb Update - Publishing to MobileMe Problem

After running the 3.0.2 update I tested the app and all was well - or so I thought!
I don't use MobileMe much and decided to test the claim that it "resolves some issues related to publishing sites to MobileMe". Well, of course, publishing to MobileMe wouldn't work.
I resolved this by quitting, deleting the plist - Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist. - relaunching and resetting the preferences. I also logged out and back in to MobileMe for good measure.
I never had any problem with uploading to MobileMe before this update. I wasn't even going to bother installing it because I never use the blog or podcast. I only installed it because I saw that another user had problems with iWeb not launching properly after running the update and thought I would see if I could replicate it.
Maybe one day we will get an iWeb update that actually works as advertised and contains something useful?

After I went through the steps mentioned above the published site had a few items missing in the header.
I published to a local folder to test it and this was OK. Then I re uploaded to MobileMe and this version worked.
I only use MobileMe for test sites so this glitch is not a disaster to me.
It would be worth while creating a small test site to troubleshoot this issue rather than using your main site.
I don't use the blog or podcast so I have no idea if there are any problems in that area.

ICal not publishing to MobileMe

Simple problem:
Trying to publish my home calendars to MoblieMe.
When I select a calendar from ON MY MAC, then select CHANGE LOCATION and choose PUBLISH ON MOBILEME, then hit PUBLISH ... it says the calendar has been published.
But when I choose VISIT PAGE, I get a dialogue box with the message "We're sorry but we cannot find the iCal you've requested. It's possible that it has been deleted or renamed."
Sure enough, no matter how many times I hit SYNC or PUBLISH (in any number of ways) ... the calendar never shows up.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks muchly,

Unfortunately, I am also seeing this annoying Apple bug.... Published an iCal calendar to the web, to "MobileMe" as iCal offers, whereupon it proudly announces the URLs to subscribe or view the calendar... each link leads to:
We're sorry but we cannot find the iCal you've requested.
It's possible that it has been deleted or renamed.
A similar false announcement is made when you publish a movie from iMovie to YouTube, where Apple announces the movie is published and you wait an hour assuming YouTube it taking its time, only to find out the movie never uploaded. That one can blame on YouTube (third party) making some change Apple (still?) does not know about... but iCal on a Mac publishing to an Apple service giving the same false positives is beyond lame.

Publishing to MobileMe Error

I spent 4 hours with 5 different Apple support techs trying to figure out why my site wasn't publishing to my personal domain. I got a lot of different answers, most assuming that my CNAME set up with my domain name's registrar was improperly configured. I was able to view my site at www.web.me.com/myname/mydomain.org/Home.html but NOT at www.mydomain.org. So my site was publishing and viewable but I needed it under mydomain.org, the solution was so simple I don't know how 3 MobileMe techs and one iWeb tech failed to figure it out (MobileMe support agent Bonifacio L. had the answer 5 minutes into our chat)
When you have iWeb open, the bar on the left lists all the sites you've created. The one I was publishing was the last on the list by default (most recently created). I hadn't published any of the other sites, they were all for practice. The solution was to move the site I wanted published to the top of the list and republish it. This instantly fixed my problem and my site is now at mydomain.org.
I just wanted to post this so because I can't imagine I'm the only one to ever have this problem. The fact that it took 5 techs to solve the problem is ridiculous and if I can save somebody else the hassle than maybe it was worth it. I also sent a detailed email to Apple asking them to make sure their techs know this fix.
Good Luck!

Welcome to the discussions. Looking at this forum's main list, it appears not. And MobileMe's +"System Status"+ at the upper right HERE currently indicates +"All MobileMe services are online."+

IWeb Images and Assets Switched Around After Publishing to MobileMe

Hello,
A few days ago a podcast I am hosting started acting odd. If I add a new graphic element to the site, ALL graphic elements get moved around, stretched, rotated, etc.
This DOESN'T happen when I publish to a folder.
I managed to do some workarounds so that the site looks "useable" but all of my borders and colors are moved around. After digging through, I managed to find what goes wrong.
Here is a screenshot of the homepage published to disk: http://imgur.com/p35EZ.png
and here it is published to mobileme: http://web.me.com/ksnowsb108/PhuketSpring_Podcasts/Main_Page/MainPage.html
You can see its not so bad because I tweaked it a lot, but if I so much as add anything, ALL of the photos get rotated around, I get a red arrow instead of the top left building photo, etc.
As I said earlier, I found the problem, but I can't fix it yet. For some reason, when publishing to mobileme the "shapeimage_#.png" files get out of sync. Here is what I mean: http://imgur.com/xcCpP.png
As you can see, shapeimage_7.png corresponds to a red arrow when published to disk, however it shows up as the blue arrow in mobileme. So right now it's not fatal, but one more shift and then the yellow text box will appear instead of the arrow, etc.
Please please please tell me you have a solution! This podcast gets around 5,000 hits daily and it's embarrassing! I know I should not use iWeb for these things but it was a dire emergency.
I have tried going into Sites folder and deleting/reuploading, deleting cache, and preferences. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Thank you very, very much!

It CAN be site destroying. The only way I've found to fix it myself is to delete and recreate the page. But that is time consuming and if you do that, you have to then remember to clear your cache or you REALLY get a jumbled mess. But doesn't that then mean that visitors to your site get the same jumble unless they too remember or know how to clear their own cache? Even that doesn't fix the original problem though. And yes, it sounds like we are experiencing the same thing. Seems like others should be as well... do you update the site a lot too? Maybe people don't update as much as we do and don't see it...? Very frustrating and I hope they find an answer...

Problems publishing to iweb

I just want to thank everyone who post on here as your advice really does help.
I had problems publishing to iweb and the following suggestions made by you all helped me overcome the difficulties I was having. I am posting this so that others who may be having the same problems as I was may sort their iweb out too!
Obviously not all of these will help everyone and some people may disagree with what I have said but (touch wood) these ALL sorted out my iweb
1. Empty your cache frequently.
2. Do not use web counter/email me buttons
3. rename your photos so that you are not using !@£$%^&*()_
4. keep trying
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5) http://web.mac.com/gillianward/iWeb/Site/Welcome.html

No, its not strange at all. When you set up a MobileMe account and publish a site from iWeb it publishes to your iDisk, which is your Apple server that host your site.
Your url for an iWeb published site to MobileMe will be http://web.me.com/username/sitename. You don't actually need the sitename if you only have one site, so as OT has said http://web.me.com/username.
No - reggie88.com is not your username, this is a domain name. www.reggie88.com is a domain name also, not a MobileMe username. Have you actually gone to a domain name registrar and registered a domain name? If you want to use a domain name with MobileMe, then you need to go and purchase one first from a domain name registrar.
No - iWeb does not tell you in iWeb that you username is www.reggie.com. The only way that iWeb will have this at the bottom, is if you have logged into your MobileMe account and gone to the Personal Domain name settings section and entered a personal domain into here. Log into your MobileMe account and check whether you have done this - this is the only reason why iWeb will display this.
Next question, do you actually own or have you purchased a domain name - reggie88.com? If you have, then you can use this domain with a MobileMe account, but there are other steps that you need to go through first to link the two.
In the meantime, find your site by entering the url http://web.me.com/username which in your case is probably going to be http://web.me.com/reggie88 and you should get to your site.

HT5129 I keep getting the message MobileMe has been discontinued - iPhoto willmove albums you have published to MobileMe Gallery. . . but I have not knowingly published any photos to MobileMe. How can I get this message to stop. It's getting annoying.

I keep getting the message MobileMe has been discontinued - iPhoto willmove albums you have published to MobileMe Gallery. . . but I have not knowingly published any photos to MobileMe. How can I get this message to stop. It's getting annoying.
Also, how can I remove duplicate photos in an album without doing it manually?
Thanks!

When the prompt pops up next time you start iPhoto select Learn more. Then click on iPhoto preferences and select the Accounts tab. Delete your MM account and the quit iPhoto. Next time you open iPhoto the problem should be eliminated.

Cannot publish to MobileMe - "Cannot Connect To Server"

I want to publish some of my albums to MobileMe, but when I try to do so I get an error message the the effect that it cannot connect to the server. I have published several other albums successfully, but I have three that won't make the journey no matter what I do. The album "placeholder" is established in MobileMe, but they contain no pictures.
What I do is to open the album in Aperture, then "select all" of the pictures in that album, then attempt to publish to MobileMe by clicking the MobileMe icon in the menu bar.
This has happened repeatedly for several attempts. Any ideas?

I've had that once. I used the same name for 2 images. Aperture handles it no problem, but I couldn't upload it to mobile me... After renaming 1 of the images the problem was solved...

Cannot publish to MobileMe?

Hi guys,
Have used Mobile Me in the past to upload iWeb sites with a movie. Usually no problem, but now it is saying that it has published, but when I try the link it says 'page not found'.
Also when I try to look at previous movie on a PC using Firefox or Internet Explorer, I can see the web page and the movie box, and can hear the audio - but no picture!
Please help - it is driving me mad!!
Stephen

Besides the wrong title of the post "Cannot publish to MobileMe?" (Yes you can) the question is:
why do you publish a wall-to-wall video (1280x720) of 53.2MB and display it as a thumbnail (533x300) on the page?
I exported it for iPhone and now the video is 480x270 and 13,4MB.
but on a pc - just audio, no movie

New problems publishing my sight

I have published my site 3 times successfully and now as I have mad 10 more pages it won't work.
As I hit publish, It logs me into mobileme then begins to create a page for a page that is already published. I don't know why it begins to create this page first since it is blue and I have 10 red pages which are the ones that need to be published. As it is creating this first page the whole program shuts down and doesn't give a reason. Are there some trouble shooting things I can do? Should I erase that page and remake it? The page that I think is causing the problem is the main page for about 8 photo pages that follow.
I am so close to completing this site.
Please help!
Brett

You may be selecting "Publish All to MobileMe instead of "Publish to MobileMe" in the File drop down menu.
Troubleshooting starts with deleting iWeb preference file: Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist. This fixes a lot of issues but don't forget to reset your iWeb preferences after doing this.
If this doesn't fix your problem, do it again and then restart your Mac, run Disk Utility to repair permissions and try again.
Doing a restart should be part of your regular maintainance program and should certainly be done after running any updates.
After doing a restart, look into your trash and you will see a bunch of recovered files that have been dumped out of iWeb (and other Apple applications). This is how iWeb cleans itself out.

IWeb is refusing to publish to MobileMe

I'm having a problem publishing from iWeb to MobileMe. It's been working fine for a year, but since yesterday when I ask it to publish, iWeb tries to log in to MobileMe and fails with the error message 'Unable to connect to MobileMe configuration server. Please try again later'.
I've repaired disk permissions, reset my keychain and deleted all sorts of .plist files without success. I had been sometimes using a proxy server on Firefox recently and it was suggested to me that that might have caused the problem, so I created a new 'location' in system preferences/network and that got rid of all the subsidiary problems that I was getting (like not being able to connect to the iTunes store, Software update not being able to list new software etc). I tried resetting my username/password to a garbage one in .Mac preferences and then putting the correct one back but that didn't work. All this time I couldn't connect to any of the .Mac section in system preferences - they all gave me error messages or just did nothing.
The MobileMe website went offline for a while this evening, and when it came back on again then magically my computer was able to connect and sync to all the tabs in System preferences/.Mac . But I still get the same error message when I try to Publish from iWeb onto MobileMe. I also tried creating a new site and publishing that, but that wouldn't work either.I can log in to MobileMe online no problem by the way.
It has been suggested to me on another forum that I should post something on this forum as it may be a network connection problem. If anyone has any ideas how to fix it that would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Sarah

Hi Jenny, and welcome to the forums!
on top of all that now I can find my iDisk on the desktop
Go to Finder>Prefrences>Sidebar & checkmark the iDisk item... does that make it show up in a Finder Window's Sidbear?
This is the Tiger/10.4.x forum you might ask over in an SL/10.6.x forum.
It's quite acceptable, even preferable to start a new topic of your own, it will get more individualized attention, and many more helpers!

Request to server failed-message I get when trying to publish to MobileMe

Hi-I am having issues with my iPhoto '09 publishing to MobileMe Gallery. I have had 2 chats with MobileMe technicians and after a lengthy discussion it appears that it's a problem with iPhoto '09. I get a message that the request to server failed. It attempts to publish but then I get that message.
In talking with the MobileMe guys I tried all sorts of things: logging in to MobileMe with a test MobileMe user name and password; tried publishing just one photo; I had repaired permissions already; logged out of my main admin account and logged into a test user account (this was the only method that worked to publish) and; uploaded pictures from my MobileMe Gallery to iPhoto (this worked). There were all sort of other tricks I tried but I can't remember them all.
I should mention that earlier this week I had an issue that resulted in me having to do an Erase and Install of my operating system. My MBP had an "Invalid Node Structure." I restored my stuff from my Time Machine backup and all seems to be working fine except for publishing to MobileMe. I also installed the 10.6.2 Combo update thinking that maybe there was a small piece missing from the update I did via Software Update. It didn't make any difference.
I also used my husband's MacBook to see if I could publish from his iPhoto '08 and yes, I was able to.
The last MobileMe guy I talked to said to talk to Apple but since I am not home and don't have my case number with me, I thought I'd try posting here first.
I have some great pictures of my grandson that are just waiting for my family to see so I would be grateful if someone could help me. One thing I was wondering is that when I installed my operating system, I did not install any apps from the Application disk-could that be the problem? Well, anyway, any help would be appreciated! Judy

Let me summarize what you've tried:
1 - deleted iPhoto's pref file.
2 - cleared the cache by logging out of MMe (System/MMe preference pane), logging in with bogus username and password which clears the cache and then logging back in with the correct username and password.
logged out of my main admin account and logged into a test user account (this was the only method that worked to publish) and; uploaded pictures from my MobileMe Gallery to iPhoto (this worked).
That indicates that there's something amiss with your primary account that is causing the problem. It could be a preference file other than iPhoto's. Here's how to determine if that's the case:
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
NOTE: you may have to drag the contents of the working folder to the trash and empty if moving the contents to the A folder only copies them instead of moving.
4 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button.
Click to view full size
5 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.

I created a website using iWeb, then published to MobileMe, how can i publish to iCloud?

I created a website using iWeb, then published to MobileMe, Mobile Me is now closed, how can i publish to iCloud?

iCloud does NOT allow you to host your web sites. You can continue to use iWeb but, will need a 3rd party web host to upload your websites to. Depending on the version of iWeb you are using you have a couple of publishing options:
iWeb '09 (3.0.4) you can publish to an FTP Server or a local folder. ( With the built in FTP in iWeb you will end up with an address like "www.YourDomain.com/sitename/Home.html )
iWeb '08 you can publish your website to a local folder
I have been using IX Webhosting for several years with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across. The have plans that start at $3.95 a mo (USD) and their customer service is top notch.
