Publish on IWeb not working

Hi,
I tried to edit my website last night. I deleted and added some pictures then clicked on publish. Now it's been over 12 hours. The publish is grayed out. The folder is still red and when I tried to close IWeb it says it's in the process of publishing. I've checked my website and none of my changes are there. How do i fix this? What is the issue?
HELP!!

Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
3 - launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

Flash xml slideshow in iWeb not working

Hallo
I am really struggling to get a Flash xml slideshow to work. I have used Flash Slideshow Maker app, which creates a slide.xml, .swf and .html file and everything is published in one folder "slideshow" on a local disk.
I am using the following code and it works perfectly when viewed in iWeb:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0, 40,0"

But as soon as I publish it to FTP with following code, it displays the slideshow but NOT the photos or thumbs:

I have also tried iFrame code, but this is not working at all.
Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong when publishing the above code to FTP?
Any help will be appreciated.

Captivate 7 course published to html5 not working

I recently created an elearning course and published to both SWF and HTML5 for SCORM 1.2. However, in doing so, I could not get it to play on my iphone, and on the Mac only some browsers worked.
I separated the two outputs in two different versions and published them to SCORMCloud with the following results:
Published to SWF - works fine across all browsers.
Published to HTML5 - does not work on any browser, or iphone/ipad. I can't even get the "Preview HTML5 output in web browser" to work.
In all cases, we simply see a blank screen. The HTML5 tracker does not show that there are any incompatibilities. The options under externalized resources are left unchecked. I have included a screen shot of the html5 settings, just in case. They seem pretty cut and dry, but is there something somewhere--here or on another screen--that I am missing?
I am really in a bind at this point since this course was supposed to be up and running a couple days ago. Any help you can offer is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Best,
Arthur

They're all in the same boat with you. It's not working reliably for them either.
You need to go back to the drawing board and ask yourself (or your client) some hard questions about your target audience and your target course content.
Is is REALLY the kind of content that you want people to view on a tiny smart phone screen? E.g. is it desktop software training? If not, then why bother with trying to support tiny screens?
Are the people in your target audience REALLY likely to be viewing this content ONLY on their phones, or could they just as easily view it in their web browser on their computer? If so, tell them so.
The truth is that most clients have no idea about the technical limitations of this brave new world we call Mobile Learning, and many are now picking up HTML5 as the latest technological buzzword they trot out to show how "with it" they are:
"We need our content to be HTML5-compatible to accommodate the m-learning landscape and maximize shareholder expectations bulldust bulldust bulldust...ad nauseum."
While I agree that HTML5 is probably the future of e-learning, it's causing more than it's fair share of headaches in the present.

Movies in iWeb not working

Exported iMovie to the desktop using "Share to Web" selection. Then ran it through Lillipot to set the "Fast Start" option. Dragged the movie into a new iWeb page & posted. But, alas it does not play until the entire movie is downloaded (Fast Start" not working). The same movie is on my old Homepage on .Mac & works as expected. Any ideas?
Homepage link is:
http://homepage.mac.com/lstacy2/iMovieTheater20.html
iWeb link is:
http://web.mac.com/lstacy2/iWeb/FamilySite/fishingmovie1.html

Over on the top right side of this page there's an area where you can search the discussions. Type "Auto Play Movies" in the search area and it will post results of any discussion with those words included. Narrow your search to just the iWeb forum and you'll surely find your answer.
Hover over the "Auto-Play" link I provided in my first post. It will send you to a page just the same as if you typed "auto Play Movies" in the search located on the right side of this page, restricted to the iWeb forum.
Go a step further and try it on Google

IWeb not working..

Hey All..
Had my first dable with iWeb tonight and made a 5 page website with content from my recent Wedding. However, after clicking on publish and getting a message saying it was done, when I click visit and it takes me to my site, I am getting an error page that says:
we can't find the iWeb page you've requested. It's possible that:
· The address was entered incorrectly. Check your spelling and try again.
· The .Mac member of this name has either created a page and removed it or has never published an iWeb site.
· There is no .Mac member of this name. If you'd like this member name for yourself, sign up for a .Mac account right now and have your own iWeb site in minutes.
Is anyone else experiencing such problems? Is it perhaps down to the MobileMe .Mac switch?
Would be grateful of any assitance. Thanks.
~Ricky

Have you tried the menu option in the File menu: Visit Published Site?
Or try typing in the URL to your site: http://web.mac.com/your account name/
You can also use http://web.me.com/your account name/
Do you have any non standard characters in your site's name, i.e anything other than a-z, 1-0, _, etc.
Renaming a website or webpage
You can rename a site or page at any time by double-clicking its name in the site organizer and typing the new name.
The page name appears at the top of the visitor's browser.
The site name is included in the website's address (URL):
http://web.mac.com/[YourMemberName]/
Renamed pages and sites (as well as the site's URL) change online the next time you publish.
IMPORTANT: If you rename a site, previously created links to your site won't work; be sure to notify your visitors, especially your blog or podcast subscribers.
iWeb now converts spaces in site names to "_". Also avoid non-Roman characters; many get converted to numbers when you publish.
Other characters aren't recommended for use in website names, including: forward and backward slashes (/ \), brackets ([ ]), tilde (~), exclamation point !, question mark (?), "at" sign (@), number sign (#), dollar sign ($), ampersand (&), asterisk (*), colon (:), equal sign (=), comma (,), and double quotation marks ("). Using these characters may result in names with strange numbers in them.

Publisher News Portlet Not Working

Hi,
We use Publisher 6.5 with Oracle WCI 10gR3 portal. We have a News Portlet in our home page which has suddenly stopped displaying any content. It has a huge number of news articles, i.e. around 250 Plus articles.
We found a setting in the DET relating to max items which was set to 200, we increased it to 400, and published the whole folder, but things still did not work out.
If we try to preview the portlet while adding to another page, we are able to see the content, but once the portlet gets added, nothing displays once again. Also in Publisher Explorer, the content item attached to the News portlet is not getting displayed if we click Preview. We get an error message "Error - Requested resource is currently unavailable. Request to the remote server has timed out. Try again later or contact your portal administrator.
Gateway was not able to access requested content. If the error persists, contact your portal administrator. "
Please can anyone help as this is an urgent issue

First you should contact Oracle Support and get this set as a priority one issue and escalate it so that you get the fastest possible response.
It sounds to me like you've blown away your index.
I'd check the following:
1)
go into your publisher directory <portal home>/ptcs/publishedcontent/publish/<path to your content>
Verify that the content is actually still there (actual html files of each of your news articles).
2)
go into publisher explorer and check your articles folder (in the appropriate area) and verify that your content is still there.
3)
Within the problematic folder, open the Content Item Index - this will contain all of the items that you've posted to your announcement portlet.
If someone checked-out this file and then did an "undo-checkout" I believe it blows away all changes since the last "check-in" which typically is nothing, and blows away all your content - which would cause precisely the problem you are seeing.

My RSS button is not working. I get this message back when ever I click on it.

IWeb 08 Published Photo Links Not Working

Hello,
I've recently switched over to iWeb 08 and really dig all the new functions. I am running into one spot of trouble and hope that someone might shed some light on it for me.
I've got a few images that I use as hyperlinks rather than text. The hyperlinks are fully functional while in iWeb and everything is fine in the inspector window, yet when I publish the site, the links are no longer operational.
Anyone have a quick fix for this one? As the images are thumbnails which point towards the full-size image, using text is not an option in this case.
Thanks in advance!
~Lola

I publish to my desktop, then use Fetch to upload the files to my host at netrfirms.
www.lolabydesign.com
The non-functioning thumbnail links are at:
http://www.lolabydesign.com/LolaByDesign/Bead_Gallery.html
I just noticed that some of the text links are inoperable as well, altho they check out fine in iWeb itself - seems kind of random.
The text links that no longer work are at:

Site created in iWeb not working on iPad.

I created kind of a test site in iWeb, and then "hosted" it on the web via Opera Unite. The site I created displays correctly over the net on the dektop versions of Opera, Firefox, and Safari, but on my iPad, both Safari and Atomic Web have issues. Neither will render any of the iWeb embedded google maps, and the photos displayed on the bottom of my page in the photo viewer refuse to even show up. The made on mac apple logo is also improperly placed on top of something else on my page. What could be causing this? I am using iWeb 3.0.4, and my iPad has iOS 5.1
If my computer is on, which wont be often overall, the site in question can be viewed here.
http://admin.home.nnickn.operaunite.com/webserver/content/ORD/Photos.html
Thanks for the help!

I tired to load the page several more times, but it usually doesn't work. Here is what happened.
A few times everything displayed properly.
Sometimes the maps alone didn't display.
Sometimes the maps would display but not the bottom pictures.
Sometimes the pictures next to the maps wouldn't display, but everything else was fine.
It seems like it randomly does or doesn't load items. I still don't understand why, as the desktop browsers I loaded my page on never had a problem displaying any of the content. Any ideas?

Twitter Widget for iWeb not working

Sorry if this answer has already been asked. I am creating a website using iWeb. I wanted to add my twitter account to it so I went to Twitter and went through their widget maker, customized it, copied the html code, pasted in the iWeb html widget box, and it worked great. Now, all of the sudden none of my twitter account widgets are working in iWeb. Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks,
J

Yes, I said that :
Sometimes you have to imagine that you see it in iWeb.
Here's how it looks in iWeb :
And here's how it looks in the published page.

The new Photos software and iWeb not working

Just downloaded the new Photos software. Now photos do not appear on the iWeb photos tab to drag into web page. Is there a way to remedy that?

It's not gone - just a version too old to run on 10.10.3. However, read the following:

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
The above should allow you to get iPhoto 9.6.1 which will run under 10.10.3.

Registered iLife, but iWeb not working

I purchased iLife '06, and finally installed it on my MacBook Pro, which also had iWeb on it. When I open iWeb, everything is greyed out. I can't use it. Any ideas?
Even if I didn't install iLife, I'm not sure why my laptop came with iWeb if I couldn't use it.
Thanks

Hi ewag,
So... you basically have iWeb and iLife '06 installed but you also bought iLife '06...
The installed iWeb isn't meant to be unusable it's meant to work but apparently a lot of people experience the same bug as you.
I usually recommend people to do the following:
Go to iPhoto, select some photos, go to Share and "Send to iWeb" (try both Blog and Photopages)
Many people report that going through this procedure 3-4 times awakens their iWeb...
I hope you have iPhoto installed and a few pictures in it...
Regards,
Cédric

IMovie, Garageband, iWeb not working?

Hey everyone, I recently got my macbook back from repairs (RSD). Everything hardware wise could'nt be better. However recently when tring to use iMovie, it loads the file I plan on working on then doesn't do anything. Just quits. No "quit unexpectly" pop-up either. I tried other iLife apps and Garageband did the same exact thing. In iWeb, it starts up but it won't let you do anything (creating a new page, etc.) Iphoto and iCal seem to work just fine. Any suggestions, or do I have to do a restore and repair?? Thanks everyone.

"Publish Site Changes" not working - publishes entire site every time

Hi,
the last few times I've tried to update my site, the Publish Site Changes function no longer seems to work - instead the whole site is created and published each time - taking a couple of hours. Has anyone else had this problem? The changes are pretty innocuous, but this has happened three or four times in a row now. Any ideas on how t fix it?
Thanks a lot.

Are you using iWeb's built in ftp client to upload to your server? Other users have found that using Cyberduck or another 3rd party ftp client that can upload only changed files will work where iWeb fails. You'll have to publish your site to a folder on the hard drive and upload all of the files the first time. From then on, as long as you don't delete the contents of that folder, you can upload only the new or edited files.
Web Site Maestro will do the same and optimize your files for faster downloading as well.

Publish site changes not working

I have iWeb '09, and when I make minor text and widget changes to pages and try to 'publish site changes' only to my hosted site...some changes make it and others don't. For example, I added an RSS subscribe widget and made some text formatting changes, and added a logo with hyperlink.
Everything made the upload but the text formatting & text addition changes. Do I have to publish the entire site again to get all these changes loaded? Why doesn't the software work like it's supposed to?
