Publishing on .mac after mobile me

I can't publish my iweb site any more just after mobile me is launched. Before that is was easy. I notice The web in the address works // is changed into - or _. And I get a cannot find this page instead of the site itself with TTTP 404 as remark. Who can help? Is it because apple and windows are not compatible?

when I try to visit my site, the URL automatically becomes:
http://web.mac.com/kaykochung/http:_web.mac.com_kaykochung_SiteWelcome.html
When it should be:
http://web.mac.com/kaykochung/Site/Welcome.html
Just forget the "visit" button. It doesn't work right. Make a browser bookmark of your correct url ( http://web.mac.com/kaykochung ) and use that instead.
How do I access DNS settings to set up CNAME?
All that is determined by the place where you have your personal name, so you need to ask them.

IPhoto 5 won't publish to .Mac after Leopard install.

Ever since I installed Leopard (clean install) I have been having problems with iPhoto crashing while trying to publish a homepage to my .Mac account. I made sure it was fully patched (OS and iPhoto), repaired permissions, all the obvious stuff. Anyone else having this trouble or have a fix for it?
Regards.

After further review I found there was one more step to reproduce, and a solution.
Using the iPhoto batch change, I always use "short date". Those file names are imported without change to Aperture. iPhoto uses the "/" and apparently Aperture doesn't escape that Unix special character properly when writing or reading to the filesystem. So it gets interpreted as a directory!
BTW Aperture uses "-" as a separator for dates in filenames. So I am now changing the name on import to Aperture and all is well.
Seems weird answering my own question, but I hope this post helps someone with the same problem until Apple fixes this bug.

Incorrect format when published to .mac but ok published to folder

Problems started after updating iWeb to 1.1.1.
Problems are 1) incorrect visited and unvisited links and 2) incorrect placement.
Here is the link to the site published to .mac
http://web.mac.com/amalin/iWeb/Site/Welcome.html
I've placed a screen shot as it (correctly) appears when published to a folder.
Here is the link to the screen shot
http://web.mac.com/amalin/iWeb/Site/tmp/Welcome.png
You can see the differences in the "Newsletters" section of the page as well as other areas.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Al,
I can't seem to reproduce the bold/highlighted link thing over here on my end. I have loaded your page on my Safari as well as on a PC using IE and FireFox. All looks okay.
Perhaps try emptying your browser cache and reload the page. Maybe this will clear some cobwebs and let you see the page properly. Good luck!

Absolutely can't publish to .mac

like the title says, I just can't publish to .mac, I tried almost everything, and every time I get the following error:
An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites”. Try publishing again later.
I tried publishing from another user, new site from scratch, trashed all prefs, ...
Nothing works... i think it's a problem with my iDisk, since /Web/Sites is the directory on your iDisk iWeb publishes to, but how you reset your iDisk? I trashed all files in the directory Sites and RSS but that didn't help...
Any help, I'm getting desperate...
THANKS!
P.S. I'm using iWeb 2.0.2

I just got a reply from Apple, but just the usual proposals, so I answered right back, here's my answer:
Dear David,
Thanks for the response, I will try to answer your mail as good as possible.
First, the possible solutions you mention.
- I have the last version of iweb, version 2.0.2
- I tried republishing all pages to .mac. The error happens when I choose "publish all" or just "publish"
What happens, is iWeb starts to create all the web pages, and then starts uploading. Then it even starts uploading all the pages, when all pages are uploaded, the progress bars are all filled, I get one of the following errors:
*An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites”. Try publishing again later.*
or "an unknow error occurred"
or *An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites”. Try publishing again later.*
After that all pages appear as unpublished. The strange thing is that the pages are in fact published, but iWeb sees them as unpublished. However all .mac functions as comments, search boxes and counters don't work...
- I tried publishing my sites over a dozen times, over several days. Publishing takes a very long time, over 6 hours... So every day I give it another try, but with no success...
- My .mac password isn't over 20 characters long...
- I can publish to a folder. That's what I did right now, I published my sites to a folder and manually uploaded them to my iDisk. But that takes a very, very long time, and doesn't give me an convenient way to just publish changes to the site, and also the .mac functions like search, comments, etc. don't work then.
- My sites aren't password protected.
- I can upload to my iDisk.
- I don't have any other network problems, I could publish to .mac in the past and my network hasn't changed since. All network or internet related apps work as they always did.
So I guess, I tried all your proposed solutions but publishing still doesn't work...
If you are still unable to publish to .Mac with iWeb, please respond to this message with the following information:
- A detailed description of the troubleshooting steps you have taken
I think I tried almost anything, publishing to a folder, choosing publish all, deleted all files from my iDisk and started over, and all the proposed solutions above. I've been using Mac's since 1992, so I do know my way around, but that's one problem I just can't seem to solve...
- A step-by-step description of what you were trying to accomplish when the error messages occurred
I just choose publish all, or publish, doesn't matter, always the same error and iWeb sees all my pages in my 3 sites as unpublished.
- The exact text (if possible) of the error messages you received
"an unknown error occurred"
"an error occurred
- A description of your network, including whether it has hubs, routers, cable or DSL modems, wireless routers (including AirPort), or proxy servers
I have a dsl line, connected to an airport express. I use my Powerbook wireless over airport.
Please also answer these questions:
- Does this issue occur with other computers on your network?
There are no other computers in my network
- Does this issue occur when your computer is on a different network?
I have the same network setup at the office, dsl to an airport express, I have the same errors there.
- When were you last able to publish to .Mac successfully?
I think a few weeks ago... I can publish to my .mac Gallery from iPhoto and can manually upload to my iDisk. All other .mac functions as sync and backup also seem to work...
Hopes this helps to find a solution for my problem, and that I can publish my sites again from iWeb.
If you need any more information, I'll gladly answer them.
Thanks in advance,
Yours sincerely,
Dave Depickere
i hope they'll reply swiftly, so this can be solved!
I'll keep you informed!

Help! iWeb can't publish to .Mac & folder, keeps hanging.

Hi guys, would appreciate your help here. I'm new to to using iWeb. Just purchased and installed iWeb a couple of days ago. I've designed my webpages using iWeb and uploaded into www.mac.com, just the basic Welcome, About Me and Blog pages.
But after that 1st successful attempt, my iWeb can't synchronise with iDisk & .Mac properly and it froze in the middle of the publishing process. I was forced to force quit iWeb. Subsequent attempts to publish using the Publish button and Publishing to Folders alternatives yielded the same results - connection error, hanging of iWeb and fruitless synching of webpages to iDisk & .Mac. So ended up can't proceed or update my already published webpages.
After that I registered another .Mac account and tried publishing directly, publishing to folder, synchronising etc... but still no luck as iWeb either hanged, gave error box stating "check internet connection or totally didn't synch the files at all to Homepage though the process went thru.
I also discovered that after restarting my powerbook, there are folders in the trash with names such as com.apple.iWeb584_1862039531. Does that render iWeb unfunctionable.
Any help is much appreciated.
Powerbook PPC G4 1.33Ghz 15" Mac OS X (10.4.8) 768MB DDR SDRAM, 80GB HDD

My site is very small. The capacity taken up indicated by iDisk after synching is only 1MB. Bandwidth tests indicated an estimated 4700kbps download speed and 300kbps upload speed. Currently, I'm subscribed to a 10Mbps ADSL broadband plan and connected wireless to the router *** modem.
The present configuration for the internet settings include a web proxy (HTTP) as given by my ISP. I've read somewhere in this forum that proxies may filter or block non-standard html codes generated from/by iWeb.
I've tried to bypass that proxy by connecting via ethernet cable to the router and unchecking the proxy setting. But another error occurred stating 'configuration error' by iWeb.
So does the problem lie with the proxy settings or with iWeb itself?
PS: I can't get my ISP to turn off the proxy, and the only way to take away that proxy is to terminate the internet subscription.

How to publish from folder after optimize?

How do you publish your site after running WebMaestro for optimizing, and it puts the site in a new folder?

Ton Brands optimizers are available as follows...
HTML-Optimizer, HTML-Optimizer Pro and Web Site Maestro.
Mac OS X 10.3.9 to 10.5.x and for Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista.
http://www.tonbrand.nl/
The first two applications are optimize only and require that you have an FTP application to upload to a server. Web Site Maestro has built in FTP.

Publishing on .Mac versus another hosting plan

I published the same Blog on .Mac and another hosting plan and get different results. To publish to my hosting plan at aPlus.net I first publish to a folder on my disk and then ftp that folder to my host.
At ,Mac the Blog works fine. At aPlus.net when I click on the first entry I get the following error
Not Found
The requested URL /Investing/Blog/Entries/2007/8/18The_week_afterpillâ€¦.html was not found on this server.
Note the strange characers inserted after pilla....I have published the same stuff several times to a different folder and have ftp-ed several copies of this folder to aPlus. but the results are different compared to .Mac
You can check it out by going to these two sites and click on the first entry
http://www.flemishDNA.com/Investing/Blog/Blog.html
This is the copy residing on .Mac
http://www.dokuspublishing.com/Investing/Blog/Blog.html
this is the same blog residing at aPlus.net
Where do these strange characters come from and how come publishing to .Mac and to another host turn out to produce different results ?
Anyone?

Non-.Mac servers sometimes have more restrictions on characters they will accept. Yours is perhaps not accepting the ellipsis in UTF-8.
One thing you could try is to put an .htaccess file in your web space with the entry "SecFilterEngine Off" and/or "SecFilterCheckUnicodeEncoding Off" (without quotes).
A utility for fixing filenames with accented characters is available here.

Publishing Error when publishing to .mac

I've been using iweb publishing for .mac for a while and recently, but recently whilst publishing it says that there is a publishing error. However the pages all seem to be there and working fine.
I've been saving the thing in iweb after attempting to publish (all of the edited pages remain red). It's been going on for a few weeks, at first I thought it was a fault with the .mac but now I am not so sure.
Any help is appreciated, it is an inconvenience more than an actual problem but it would be nice if it didn't do it.
Thanks

Quit iWeb, delete the preference file Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist, restart your Mac, run Disk Utility to repair permissions, relaunch iWeb and do a "Publish all to .Mac".

Can not publish to .mac, iweb 08 freezes

A couple of days ago I attempted to update my .mac site using iWeb 08 and got an error message saying that the .mac servers were not responding or something along those lines. Tonight I tried again and this time iWeb just freezes up when trying to connecto to my .mac account. These last two times when I've tried to update was the only time I've ever seen the "connecting to .mac account" small popup come up after I select Publish to .mac account. Before (unless my memory fails me), it just went straight to uploading.
I just tried going to the .mac site via apple.com and I couldn't even login. Guessing my problem has something to do with this.
Anyone else having problems with their .mac account?

I just tried going to my iDisk from System Preferences/Internet & Network/.Mac and am getting a connection problem notice.
However, I can get to my iDisk from Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites and...

Suddenly unable to publish to .Mac (or to a folder) - had been working fine

Yikes! I've been working on a site for over a week now, and have published to .Mac a dozen times or so. Just now I'm getting:
"Publish Error
An unknown error occurred."
(I retried several times: "Publish to .Mac," to a folder, and Publish All to .Mac.)
Any ideas. The only thing I can think of is that several of my headlines were getting nastily chopped up in tests in IE, so I changed them from text to .pict images, with the hope that IE wouldn't cough at the font and/or spacing. Now I do have multiple files named "droppedImage.pict" -- could this be part (or all) of the problem.
Please help!
Thank you, thank you!!

Okay, I figured out what was causing the publish to fail:
I had two small black spots (about the size of the white boxes on the resizable frames around objects) hiding in the undermost layer of the home page. I remember these two spots (which turned out to be two discrete objects) appearing as an artifact after I dragged a droppedimage.pict I had pasted onto the page to its proper position. At the time I thought it was just a refresh/rendering artifact, so I popped all my intended objects to the front. When I moved all the objects I wanted to keep out of the way, the two black spots were still on my background. I was able to select and delete them. Now publish works fine again. I only typed this up in case some other person suffers from black spot disease.

HELP: published to .mac but cant find them

how do I find my website after I published to .mac? I log on to my .mac and it only shows web pages I previously created with iWeb and it doesn't show the one I created with Aperture.

I think there's a 'preview in browser' button in aperture (which becomes available immediately after you complete the upload). This should give you the URL.
In .mac, you need to manually create a new site - and point to the location of your new aperture web gallery. It's a little clunky, and I find I need to 'relearn' the process everytime I create a web gallery for .mac in Aperture (which is rare).
If you lose track of where things are, don't forget you can browse your .mac file system in finder by clicking on iDisk.

IWeb pages published in folder do not match pages published on .mac

After creating a photography website in iWeb '07, I am unable to have the contents of that website that I publish to a folder match what I created in iWeb and/or published on .mac.
In other words, when I publish a page of photos to a folder (to later add paypal html coding) the html version does not match the published version on .mac.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
I was orgininally able to have the html file match the .mac version verbatim but after I added and deleted a few photos, the html file in the folder (as viewed with TextEdit) has not matched the edited changes ever since.
Any help, ideas or suggestion on this would be very helpful. The folks at the Apple store and at Apple Care were not able to help.

yeah, same here. I have more than 60 Video Tutorials on my site for free, many of them on iWeb so please have a look, as some of them definitely address your questions.
It is at http://www.australianmac.com and click on Tutorials on the top of the page. If they do not help then email me from the site and I will make you one that does.

Publish Error: .Mac Publish Configuration Values

Ever since the update to OS X 10.4.7, I have been unable to successfully publish any changes to an existing iWeb site. Whenever I try to publish I get a dialog box with the following:
Publish Error
There was an error determining the .Mac publish configuration values. Please try again in a few minutes.
No matter how many times I attempt to re-try the Publish, I get the same message. I have checked the configuration of my .Mac preferences and everything looks fine (I am able to sync with .Mac without any problems).
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

OK... here's an update. After successfully getting iWeb to publish using another WiFi network (as opposed to my home satellite internet connection), I decided to see if I could force iWeb to get its act together and complete a publish at home.
I WAS SUCCESSFULL! At least partly....
Here's what I did. Follow these steps at your own risk:
(1) With iWeb closed-down, I went to the location of the Domain file that stores all of the iWeb files and data (found in your Home folder under Library/Application Support/iWeb)
(2) Copied the file as a safety backup
(3) Right-clicked (or <CTRL>-clicked for single-button mouse users) and selected the "Show Package Contents" option
(4) In the resulting window, I highlighted and deleted the following items:
- The "cached_resources" folder
- assets.xxx.plist (where xxx is your .Mac username)
- deletedComments.xxx.plist (same explanation for xxx as above)
- ServerCachedResources.plist
- sharedassets.plist
(5) I then re-launched iWeb and triggered a "Publish All to .Mac" AND IT WORKED!!! Without a hitch!
Once the publish completed, I tried making a small text edit to a single page and then re-publishing.... but then I got the "Can't publish xxx file, try again" error. It appears that, over a satellite internet connection at least, iWeb is unable to overwrite a file that already exists on .Mac successfully without performing all of the above steps.
So... I went back in and repeated the same steps as above. Unfortunately, that resets iWeb into thinking that everything has been successfully published, so in order to get my small text change up, I had to "Publish All to .Mac" again... a bit tedious to have to upload the WHOLE site just to get one small change posted... but better than having to FTP files separately!
So... Apple... if you're listening, it seems that there is definitely an issue with iWeb publishing to .Mac over a high-latency network connection. PLEASE DO SOMETHING!!! I am reading that iWeb 2.0 is already in the works... with lots of enhancements, etc. I sure hope that PUBLISHING is one of them!
Hope this information helps someone else out there. Just be careful... I'm not happy having to mess around in the innerworkings of iWeb's files... and I'm not sure what the long range ramifications could be. Proceed at your own risk!

Event invitations not published to .mac web page with rest of calendar

I've published a calendar to the .mac web server successfully, and the web page for the named calendar shows up fine in browsers at the appropriate URL.
However, when I receive an invitation from somebody else, and accept it, and put it into that (published) calendar, that event does NOT get published to the web page. Any idea why?
Example
- Joe uses Google Calendar to invite me to a meeting
- Google calendar sends me a .ics file in email
- I open the .ics file (click in Apple Mail, which launches iCal)
- I view the invitation in iCal; then change the status to "Accepted" (from Invited), and change the Calendar for this event to the Calendar I've published on .mac
- (iCal properly notifies Joe via a reply .ics via email that I've accepted)
- iCal is properly updating my schedule on .mac for all other events besides this meeting invitation; but the meeting invitation does not get pushed to the .mac web page for my calendar
Item of note: In this use case, I am NOT the event Organizer; somebody else is. Is this why iCal doesn't do it? Or is there something I'm not setting correctly in iCal? Or...?
This renders .mac-web-published calendars effectively useless, since a good share of my calendar is made up of people who email me .ics invitations, and (for various reasons) the person who manages my schedule has to use the .mac web UI for my calendar to know when she can dish out my time. (She doesn't actually put things in my schedule; just allots time.)

Macs with a FireWire port will also boot happily from an External drive. You don't even need to open the MacBook.
Some users buy a drive they would like to have as a future Internal drive, and also buy an external enclosure. They get the External set up the way they want it, then swap with the Internal drive.
