Publishing Prob: No slideshows

I have used iWeb to design my website for a few years and have very recently completely changed my design.
Since I reloaded this new design the slideshows are not showing when viewed in Internet Explorer. This is a new issue since the upload and my other websites also made in iWeb continue to remain viewable.
One client emailed me the following error:
Webpage error details
User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; .NET CLR 3.5.21022; MS-RTC LM 8)

Message: 'undefined' is null or not an object
Line: 46
Char: 575
Code: 0
URI: http://www.photoperspective.co.uk/Scripts/iWebSite.js
Extra info:
I have remained with the same iWeb version for all previous published versions. (3.0.3)
All browsers have worked prior to the new upload.
Slideshows are not showing in Internet Explorer and are completely empty - not even the frame or page numbers are there. But with Firefox/Safari there is no problem.
Tried various I.E versions (6/7 & 8)
I have tried the following; deleting the preferences in the Library folder, uploading the whole site again, uploading a duplicated version to my MobileMe account, uploading a test slideshow to another working website - but unfortunately nothing has worked and any new published slideshow page is empty when viewed from Internet Explorer.
Can anyone recommend a file that may be missing? In media or scripts maybe? I am clueless and apart from putting on my site "Please view with Firefox if using a PC" I am stuck.
Here is my website link:
http://www.photoperspective.co.uk/central-london-photographer.html
And here is a direct slideshow link:
http://www.photoperspective.co.uk/corporate-event-photographer-london.html
Fingers crossed someone can help - Thank you.
PS. I have previously published this dicussion under the heading "PC cannot view albums" but had limited response. Due to my new findings that it is in fact a publishing issue I have made a new discussion to hopefully attract an answer.

Thanks Wyodor - I noticed your MSIE comment on a previous thread and hoped you may respond.
The issue really is not with IE. I know that this is probably why no one has responded helpfully to either me or to the other threads. I am assuming that this probably is believed to be another IE issue. How boring that must be.
I have 12 sites and although I am aware that IE does not display the iWeb sites correctly it does show all the slideshows without any issue.
So a break down of the problem:
Since I republished the whole site the slideshows do not work on IE. That is it! It has been working fine for 5 years.
This can only be an issue with the publishing. I am guessing the scripts just from the error note in the above thread. (Not great detective work on my part)
I am in the process of redesigning in Dreamweaver - but I have a stream of clients that need to view their images daily on my current site. And from last week they can no longer do this. This includes clients that could originally view their images via IE and have continued to use the same link.
So, ignoring the ongoing iWeb/IE hate-hate relationship- are there any other suggestions why this could be suddenly happening?
Thank you for the SiteSpinner link too, Wyodor - I will take a look for when I am redesigning,

Digital Publishing Suite Help | Slideshow overlays

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/slideshow-overlays.html

Can you be more descriptive of what you want to do? If all you want to do is remove one state from an MSO, make that state active and open the object states panel menu and choose release state to objects.

IWeb published to .mac- slideshow not working

The slideshow and 'click to enlarge' features are not working. The button is there, but nothing happens when I (or anyone) click on them. How do I activate these functions?
Also, I downloaded Moble Me, but I don't think I activated it because when I saw the features, they do not apply to me. (Will iPhones ever work with Verizon?) Do I need to activate it anyway? Is the fee the same as my .mac account? I was able to publish from iWeb to .mac, just . . . (see paragraph above).

Never mind . . . it didn't work yesterday, but is today for some reason.

Is it possible to publish an iPhoto slideshow with the music?

Is it possible to publish a slideshow with music so others can hear the music as well as see the photos? Thanks. (I have a MobileMe account).

An alternative method to put the slideshow up for others to view is to import the QT movie back into iPhoto and put it in a MobileMe gallery and publish.
If the movie is large still another alternative is to import the movie into iMovie and share it from there to a MMe account where you can select multiple sizes so those with slower internet connections can choose a smaller version to play. The following screenshot is the export window from iMovie:
Click to view full size
*+NOTE: This screenshot is from the iLife 09 iMovie. I don't remember if the iLife 08 iMovie has the same export options.+*
What you will get is this type of MMe gallery: iMovie 09 to MMe.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Adding music + publishing and sending slideshow

1)...how do I add a piece of music from the I Tunes library to my photos on an I Web page?
2) ... Basically, I'm trying to PUBLISH a slideshow. I want to send it to a family member in another country... so we can work on it back and forth together.... have tried for days now.....
HELP please..... Linda

I've got the latest Quicktime, iTunes, iDVD, and iPhoto updates on a MacBook Pro and I'm still having an issue getting iDVD to use "authorized" music. My playlist is full of music downloaded from the iTunes store. My computer is authorized to play the songs in iTunes; however, iDVD refuses to add the music when burning the DVD. It keeps asking me to authorize my computer.

Publishing prob with site name

hello all,
just changed a blog page in my site to become the new front page and renamed it "canoetokelau" as its predecessor was called... but, when i published it, google no longer finds the site and the name has changed to http://web.mac.com/damianwelch/iWeb/canoetokelau/canoetokelau/canoetokelau.html (it used to be the same name without the last "canoetokelau)
! if i lose the final "canoetokelau" from this silly list i can presumably be found in google again and by existing users of the site- anyone tell me how, or how i might even lose all 3 "canoetokelau" from the title?
thanks so much for your help and shared experience in advance!
Damian

It's because it's a blog

Publishing Probs to Connect Pro

I am a new Captivate user with Mac OS 10.6.4 and the recent elearning Suite2. I have searched the threads but no joy for my question.
I created a project in captivate and chose the Publish Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro metadata and clicked all the appropriate boxes in Publishing Preferences, such as publish project files, zip project files and publish video files .flv
It appears that my Connect Pro does not like the .cptx of the captivate file. I know that it likes the file to be one of the following formats: *.ppt, *.pptx, *.flv, *.swf, *.pdf, *.gif, *.jpg, *.png, *.mp3, *.html, or *.zip.
Any help would be super!!
Thanks again, Ted

Hi - we have had that issue as well and I can't tell you it
was resolved, but can tell you a workaround.
What we have done is simply publish the zip files to the
desktop, and then upload into Connect Pro as Content. That has
worked every time (knock on wood).

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"

PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" base=".">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
But as soon as I publish it to FTP with following code, it displays the slideshow but NOT the photos or thumbs:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0, 40,0"

PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" base=".">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
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.

Adobe Reader X won't loop a slideshow.

I generate a slideshow in Serif PagePlus and one of the options when I publish to pdf slideshow is "Loop Slideshow". This has worked fine for years, until, by the look of it the installation of AR X. In AR X the slideshow just hangs at the end of the show so my rolling message board no longer works. Setting the Edit > Preferences > Full Screen - "Loop after last page" option in AR enables the slideshow to loop OK. However this isn't needed in previous versions of AR and I can't reckon on all users having this option set.
Is it a bug?
Art

I did the following and it fixed the problem...
Let us assign permissions to the C drive(or the drive where you have installed the OS) and then check.
To apply permissions to a file or folder for a user:
a. Right-click on the C drive and then click Properties.
c. Click the Security tab, and then click Edit.
d. Do one of the following:
i. To set permissions for a user that is not listed under Group or user names, click Add, type the name of the user or group, click OK, select the permissions, and then click OK.
ii. To change or remove permissions from an existing group or user, click the name of the group or user, select the permissions, and then click OK.

Problems sharing an iphoto app slideshow to itunes

Hello,
Ive recently created a slide show on my ipad air using the iphoto app and want to send it to my macbook or to my email or somwhere! Ive tried all the 'share options' in the iphoto app with no success. when i try to 'export to itunes' it completes the process and says 'itunes export complete' but where is it? i have searched itunes and my mac book and found nothing. what can I do? 'sharing' media to from device to device is meant to be easy but this is rediculious!

I have tried the other share options with no success. what good is the slide show if i cant send it for others to view?
Well, yes, the general idea is that you use the iPad's high-qulity retina display to present your slideshow.
send feedback to Apple, that the ability to share the finished products - slideshows, books is essential: Use this form: Apple - iPhoto - Feedback
You cannot sync the slideshows to your mac as a slideshow or mail it, but in iPhoto 2.0 you can publish the slideshow on your iCloud home page as a slideshow (also shared photo streams and journals can be published as slideshows). You can share the link to the page with selected people.
Publish slideshows on the web
Share your web journal as a webpage: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnkaf3ef70a

Iphoto slideshow exported for iweb viewed by windows

I have been trying to publish an iphoto slideshow that I had exported as a movie for weeks. My mac people can see it, my PC family members cannot! I tried to make it small for the web, changed the filename to mp4 from mpv4, but PC people still could not see it. So I tried to put the slideshow movie in as a huge .mpeg and it disappeared. ( I had made an avi file but it looked horrible so used the equally as large but better ,mpeg)
I am getting the idea that it can only be done with imovie! Is than an authoritative step by step on iphoto 08,quicktime pro, and Iweb so I can put all these things together?

Don't use the Finder to change the file extension. Not only is it folly but it breaks the links used in your iWeb page code.
Don't use AVI. It is a dead container discontinued by its authors (Microsoft) years ago.
Don't use MPEG-1 (1991 format).
Default exports from iPhoto to QuickTime formats use the newer H.264 video codec which requires any machine (Mac or PC) have QuickTime version 7 installed. If they can't install version 7 they can't view your file.

Slideshow won't play on iweb and make page disappear

Hello. I have been jacking with this program for a month now with some success and some failure. Today I was revisited by something I thought I resolved: My webpage disappeared from my album page that contains all the links to my pages. It is gone from both my computer version and of course the published version. It shows in the sidebar in iweb, but not on the page?
http://web.me.com/tedcarlos/FamilyTrips_and_visits/Family_Trips_and_visits/Family_Trips_andvisits.html
I had deleted this missing page before and stated over and it seem to work, but after my last edit, it was gone again.

You can't burn a video dvd using just PSE. Adobe wants you to use Premiere Elements to create the final video disc. If you have PRE, use that. If not, just output the slideshow as a WMV file and use whatever burning software you have, even Windows DVD maker, to create the actual video disc.
The only kind of video disc PSE can make is the hateful VCD format, which is always terrible in quality and not well supported anymore. It was a good idea back when DVD burners were very expensive, but it's archaic now.

PUblishing an Iphoto slidehow- not working.

I followed the online instructions to try to publish my Iphoto slideshow on .mac (am a member). I click Edit, Select All but when I click Share, the .mac slides is not highlighted for me to select. I tried to drag the slideshow into Idisk or copy/save but none of them work. What's going on?
Also, once it's published, will it include the music?
Help!
Thanks.

Hi Bernicer,
If you are talking about a slideshow you have created with iPhoto that includes transitions and music, then you need to share>export that slideshow and choose the quicktime time in the export window. Once you set the dimensions export to the desktop. You must then put that slideshow in the Movies folder of your iDisk, then go to homepage and create a new Movie page from the templates. You should have the choice to add the movie from your movies folder to the template at that time. I must warn you that the movie will probably be too huge to be of any good to publish. If you used any purchased music from the iTMS then no one else will be able to hear the music or even play the slideshow.
.ma slides is entirely different than what you might think. This is where you select an album within iPhoto and go to share>mac slides.
The photos are uploaded to your idisk but are not seen by going to your homepage. Any person using a Mac can subscribe to your slideshow in the Desktop/screensaver preferences by inputing your .mac user name. When they do, the photos will be downloaded into their computer and then they have a screensaver using your photos.

Screen Saver (using iphoto folder) - 2 questions

New imac....thanks for the input. Two questions with the screen saver that uses random iphoto folder pics.
1. The resolution on some pics looks horrible (I thinked they must be zoomed in), but even on ones that are not, the pics look more grainy then when I see them in iphoto at roughly same size. Any suggestions?
2. Wife liked the ability to scroll through the screen saver pics in Windows XP but hitting right arrow button. THis would not disengage screen saver and should could see all the pics. Anyway to do this on Mac...she would LOVE to know!
Thanks!

HI Dan and Welcome to Apple Discussions and congrats on the new iMac!
For starters... here is information for slideshows/screen savers available to use with a .mac account:
Using a .Mac slideshow as a screen saver
You can use a .Mac member's public slideshow as your screen saver.
To set up a .Mac screen saver, you need the .Mac member name of the person publishing the pictures. You do not need to be a .Mac member to see a slideshow or use it as a screen saver.
Open a web browser and visit a website to make sure you're connected to the Internet.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Desktop & Screen Saver.
Click Screen Saver, then select .Mac in the Screen Savers list.
Click Options, and enter the .Mac member name in the .Mac Membership Name field.
The slideshow is downloaded to your computer. When it's finished, you can disconnect from the Internet.
To publish your own slideshow, you need a .Mac membership. To learn more, visit www.mac.com
And rule of thumb using your own photos as a screen saver: If the pictures look fuzzy, try using larger pictures (such as 1024 x 768 pixels).
