Publishing Problems -- Errors Galore

Here we go again...
I am yet again having repeated and contiunuous error messages when I publish any changes. I have spent a couple of hours of my life this past week on hold with calls to Apple (and many, many more at the keyboard) and finally was put through to an alleged iLife expert. He finally determined that the problem was Apple's not mine.
In short, I publish and finally get a message that there was an error in publishing. Sometimes, what I tried to publish actually does go through. But all the changed pages in my iWeb remain red and next time I publish iWeb tries to publish all the red pages, not just what was reecntly changed. Frustrating!!!!!
Anyone else having these woes or anything similar? Any suggestions that will help save my sanity?
Best to all,
Richard M.

I think the really telling aspect of all of this is that your problems are intermittent and not consistent to any degree. I also believe that there are many instances when there are issues with the .Mac service that we as customers or endusers are not made aware of. iWeb has no choice a lot of times to just return one of its many "timeout" errors when the .Mac servers are misbehaving.
But I still strongly believe that there are other forces at work here. Count me in as probably one of many users who publish regularly using iWeb to .Mac who have never experienced a single error message. I think it has to do with my relatively simple site that has only small image files...no big video files and the like...and the fact that my main iWeb machine is relatively sparse with little to no 3rd party software installed in the system.
I hope that Apple gets a better handle on this situation with time. Unfortunately this is the most frustrating thing for people having issues. Good luck to you, Richard. Hopefully some fog lifts and you are able to publish again.

One Publishing "Unknown Error" Problem Fixed

Found a solution to one of the problems I was having publishing to a folder. Kept getting the unknown error when trying to publish and, after a little digging, found it to be a problem with iWeb's cache files. Trying to delete them manually just upset iWeb, so I ended up using the Onyx system manager program to clean out all the Application and Font caches, and suddenly iWeb was back in action. Doubt this a solution to all the publishing problems, but hope it helps some of you.

There's the iWeb cache under user-library-application support and two caches files inside the Domain file for your site. Its the ones in the Domain file that didn't like being deleted manually. Something about the script Onyx uses was able to get past that and clear up the problem for me, which is why I recommend using it. Since there seems to be several different causes for all these publishing errors, you might be fine just clearing the iWeb cache in the library, but I had to have Onyx clear everything before it work for me.

[CS3] Publish problem with no valid HTML templates

Hi,
I have a project file which I have publish numerous times
before without problems. It has come to finally publishing it for
the last time and when I go to publish an error messages comes up
saying...
"no valid HTML templates are avaliable to complete this
operation".
I have reinstalled the app again but still getting the
problem.
Any ideas...

I get to the point where you select Publish Settings in the
file menu but then it comes up with the error message...

Publishing Problems - a Solution?

For a long time I'd sympathised with all you people who'd been having publishing nightmares, even though I've been updating pretty much error free since iWeb 1.0
Then last night after updating my blogs and making a few changes, I finally got the dreaded error messages. Tried a few times, got frustrated, and decided to sleep on it.
Same this morning ... grrr ... but then I noticed that my iDisk had failed on auto-synchronisation.
I'd only mounted my iDisk recently to amend my Podcast feed, so on a hunch I unmounted iDisk, rehit the Publish button in iWeb, and holy shmoly – it worked straight off!
I reckon that publishing iWeb kicks off the iDisk auto-sync, and then you've got a conflict with iDisk and .Mac trying to outsync each other.
Anybody else found this? if this solves publishing problems for a few of you then great. If it works for a lot of you, even better. If the majority of you get sorted, then that's a revelation!

My message to Apple stated:
"My pages go through the "create" process then start
on the "publishing" process then come back with an
error message that tells me to check my internet
connection (which is fine at 2 different locations. I
spent 13 hours fighting this yesterday. It has
created a major problem for me -- and this just after
I paid an extra hundred dollars to upgrade my
broadband. Your telephone people tell me you're
working on this. Please advise when it will be fixed
so I don't waste another 13 hours today."

Richard, thank you for writing this. I would like to know how this all shakes out, and I am glad that it is an Apple server problem and not mine.
Meanwhile, I want to say how helpful it is to have this iWeb forum, and also thank the very generous and thoughtful souls who take the time to help beyond what normally would be expected. Those people know who they are, but I also am grateful to everyone.
For example, I was greatly relieved to read that I was not the only person getting Network Failure messages, since it meant that probably I was not working with a defective application -- one that started out fine but somehow went south on me and would not be replaced by Apple. This may seem a trifling thing to some, but when you are in a spot that you perceive as Hot, assurance from the outside is very much appreciated.
I hope that when you all finish your websites, you post the URL so we can all see it; after all, in a sense we are all comrades in arms (because sometimes it can seem like a war, due to the Fear Factor) and our fates are somehow connected even though we are all so-called strangers.

Unexpected Publishing Problems

I have been using iWeb for almost two months with no publishing problems. I publish to a folder then ftp it to my yahoo server. However, last night I began to experience publishing problems. iWeb publishes just the first five pages of my site then I get a message that an unexpected error occurred. No other clues as to why it could be happening.
The last change I made was an adding a podcast. I deleted that podcast thinking that maybe iWeb didn't like the taste of it and tried to publish but it still won't work. I've tried about 10 times, with my screen saver turned off, battery charger plugged in, and no other apps running.
Please help me!

Here's the latest...
I realized that iWeb stopped publishing at the same page (I have 30+ pages on my site. It would always stop at the fifth one). So, I rearranged the order of that page, dragging it down to the very bottom of my site list. When I went to publish to folder, iWeb published everything then stopped again at that specific page. So here I thought I had isolated the issue.
I created a new site and dragged the problematic page into it. I then created a brand new page in my main site and copy/pasted the old content into it. Ergo: a whole new page. I went to publish with iWeb cranking along nicely until it got to the NEW version of that page and then it crapped out. Again.
I am guessing that one of the images (or who knows what, really) is messing with iWeb's fragile ego. I am going to reconstruct the page with brand new copies of the images that were on it. Images, by the way, that published fine for almost a month and that I didn't alter at all.
Wish me luck all. I'll keep you posted.

BI Publisher scheduler error ,plz help me how to fix these kind of errors

BI publisher scheduler error while we schedule the report in BIP.
Guide me what need to be done .... many of reports are running and failed everyday.
Help me regarding the issue..
Thanks,
Ram

Take a look at this thread if you haven't already: Re: Schedule problems
Based on the error message, it appears to be an issue with privileges. Make sure the user specified in the error message has the privilege to access the report.
Also I believe usernames are case sensitive, so check that out as well..

imac G5 and an older G5 + a Powerbook and an iBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Oh my god I am not a lunatic idiot after all!
I am currently in discussion with Apple Support for exactly the same problems as you guys, all I did was add a new video to my site. The first few times the update timed out as it was taking more than 30 minutes to upload (I am on broadband and the new page was only 7 meg). Then I got the ".Mac servers were busy please try later" message, then I got the "check your isp.." gubbins. Then when I tried again it said the update was successful but when I visited the site (via a number of different computers and networks) I either could not access the site at all, or it partly loaded, or the welcome page loaded correctly but when going to other pages I got nothing!
I am currently waiting for Apple Support to " get back to me"

Another user with publishing problems -- proof that it is .Mac related

Just before Christmas I started getting the dreaded "Publish Error: There was an error updating .Mac" message every time I published. I read all the previous posts, even the ones dating back to October. I think I can conclusively show that the problem is on the .Mac backend, and not at all on my computer. Here is what I did: first, I created a temporary .Mac account; second, I moved my Domain file for safe keeping and did not replace it; third, I logged into the Guest User account that is now available in Leopard. I then attempted to publish a single page website from iWeb from both my normal login and the guest login to both my normal .mac account and the temporary one. (To switch between .Mac accounts I used the system preferences panel when iWeb was not running). The results are as follows:
.......................Regular .Mac.......Temporary .Mac
Normal Login..Publish Failed......Publish Succeeded
Guest Login.....Publish Failed......Publish Succeeded
This tells me that there is no problem on my computer, or with my network connection, and the problem is squarely on the .Mac side of things.
I sent this message off to the standard help page, and got the standard form letter back. In reply I asked them to reset my .Mac account so it would appear "new". I'll see what they say.
It would be interesting to see how many other people with "publish" problems can repeat this test.
-=[doug]=-

I've done what appears to be the standard littany of things:
1) Confirmed that I am running the latest version of iWeb (2.02) on 10.5.1 (although the problem persists when using my backup of 10.4.10 that includes the ilife update)
2) Changed my .Mac password, even though it was less than 20 characters
3) Published all of my previous website to the temp .mac (in chunks to avoid the space limitations)
4) Successfully published my site to a folder
5) Successfully uploaded that folder to my iDisk
6) Attempted to republish and republish all multiple times
7) Deleted iWeb's plist
8) rebooted
9) logged out and back into my .Mac account
10) confirmed that there is no password protection on my site
11) confirmed that there are no comments on my site
12) deleted assets.[membername].plist from the Domain file
13) Confirmed that my password in Keychain is correct
14) Run Keychain First Aid
15) deleted Sites.RSS from my iDisk
16) deleted the website and index.html from the iDisk
So, I have done a fair amount of ground work here, and am not just spouting off against Apple/.Mac. However, I still claim that the fact that I can successfully publish to a temporary .Mac account while the exact same iWeb content fails when being published to my normal .Mac account implies that there is something wrong with my .Mac account -- it is almost as if Apple is trying to eliminate its paying customers (since there are no problems with the free account).

Ipod cannot be restored because of unknown problem (Error 1437)"

One day when I was listening my ipod when I pass the other song ipod screen freeze and I reset it and when its open all the songs and videos are gone Then I connect it to my laptop and I took the Error says "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted" When I try to restore it through itunes, I take an error message says "ipod cannot be restored because of unknown problem (Error 1437)" And the ipod is not recognised in itunes after this message..Then I searched the help files; I updated my itunes to the latest version, also restart my computer and change the usb port Im trying.. Also tried to update the serial control drivers but nothing's changed..One time I tried to do it in safe mode.. Nothings Changes... I everything I found in apple help files.. I see lots of unanswered questions in many months but Please HELP

Well it could be dead forever or you might just need some simple repairs. The problem i have seen in some is that when dropped the hard drive either comes loose (easy to fix) or gets killed (little more expensive).
There could be other problems but i have seen those problems more often than something drastic like the whole board dieing.
