Replacement Apps for iWeb

Ok, I have read through here and have seen a lot of programs that can replace iWeb.  I just got my site ( www.LarrysPhotos.net ) moved over to my hosting on GoDaddy, that went surprisingly smooth.
I really don't twant to rebuild the entire site if I switch to something other than iWeb.  But this isn't going to work forever so I need to do something. Can I take my existing site and move all the pages to one of the other apps and edit them?  It is a rather simple site but there are a ton of photos and it would be a nightmare to re-build it.
This is not something I make money from, it's just an online photo album for friends and family.  Not something I want to spend endless hours to move over to another web building app.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

This wonderful piece from Old Toad may help you. Two good replacements for iWeb would be RapidWeaver or SandVox.

As you now know iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.   On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
  Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
  Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.   All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.   There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.   
   However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.

  • Replacement app for iWeb

    Hi,
    I need to update/recreate my web site which was originally created with iWeb and hosted on me.com.  It is now hosted by GoDaddy.  Any suggestions for apps to replace iWeb?  I prefer a "program" rather than a web site where I can make /reate the web site. 
    Thanks

    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.

    In addition the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on.
    HOWEVER, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still currently available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those copies still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.

  • Best replacement apps for calendar, tasks, contacts???

    I am migrating from a Palm handheld after 10 years of use and very eager to find a replacement for the built-in calendar, tasks, contacts apps. I'd like them to manage the data in a way that allows the databases to sync with mobileme appropriately. I use Entourage on my desktop and find the lack of integration between Apple's ical, contacts, tasks and notes to be a loss overall. Below would be some ideal features for each:
    Calendar - allows day, week, month, year views and list view. When alarms popup, an easy way to remind me later or edit them. Adjustable fonts to see more on the screen than built in app.
    Contacts - sort by different fields, adjustable fonts, preview of phone numbers with name so you don't have to open the item and pick a number from a secondary screen (I'm aware of favorites, but you can only add so many before it becomes unwieldy).
    Tasks - hierarchical viewing, easy to change category and priority, side-by-side view of tasks in different categories (ie; work and home) would be nice, adjustable fonts.
    I'm aware of a few basic calendar apps, smarttime and a program called lifebalance. Both of these seem interesting but not quite right. Any other suggestions?

    There are none currently. There are several for tasks and notes. There are contacts enhancement apps. But Apple will not allow developers to access the built in calendar.
    I still carry a Palm in addition to the iPhone because I won't give up Pimlico Software's DateBk6. It's now the ONLY app I use on the Palm, of the 60 that I formerly used; everything else is now functionally available on the iPhone. CE Stuert Dewar, author of DateBk6, is working on a new calendar app (Pimlical) that will run on any platform that supports Java, so Windows, full OS X, Linux, Android, Symbian, etc will all be supported. He is hesitant to develop for the iPhone because of the restrictions on developers. It would be good if Apple took notice, because CESD's former calendar products have sold over 3 million licensed copies.

  • What is the 10.5 replacement app for NetInfo Manager in 10.4?

    Am reasonably sure I'm having user/permission issues ( apps blowing up when printing or saving a file ), (unknown user) populating many getinfo windows. Clean install of 10.5/1/2, then dragging over files from my old account ( 10.4.11, files rescued by Data RescueII ) ) to new drive. Much screwey-ness ensues...
    Anyway, I'm thinkin' that a trip through NetInfo Manager would do the trick, ( realign User/Group ID's, etc. ) - but no can find. Is there a central place to this in 10.5? Or is 10.5 not quite fully baked yet...?
    jeff

    Jeff,
    No, there's no Netinfo Manager. The closest thing to it is Directory Utility.app, but it doesn't handle users and groups like NM did.
    There is a command line application to manipulate users and groups, but it is not well documented at this time. A better, GUI alternative is to download and install the OS X Server Tools, and use the Workgroup Manager utility (yes, it works perfectly well on OS X client).
    However, your problem has nothing to do with "wonky" groups, but rather incorrect group ownership. You don't need to mess with the database, but rather you need to correct the ownership of the files. First, a bit about Leopard...
    In recent versions of OS X (as you probably know), a paradigm has been in place where users are given a unique group based on their short name and UID. For whatever reasons, Apple has backpedaled on this, and users have now been returned to the "staff" group, globally. Given the fact that we are now securely in the realm of ACLs, instead of traditional POSIX permissions, this makes a lot of sense.
    The problem, though, is that files and folders migrated from an earlier system will, in many cases, retain the old group ownership, and Leopard has no way to recognize such. Thus, the dreaded "unknown" group. Fortunately, this can easily be corrected with a simple, but carefully-applied command in Terminal:
    <pre style="overflow:auto; font-family: 'Monaco'; font-size: 10px">sudo chown -R username:staff /some_directory</pre>
    In the above command, you must replace "username" with your own short name (or that of the user to whom you wish to grant ownership). For the "/some_directory" variable, I would recommend just dragging the folder in question into the Terminal window from the Finder. Just make sure that you do not change the ownership of any system files, and everything should be fine.
    When you press <RETURN> after typing this command, you will be asked for your admin password. Enter it (it will not be echoed) and again press <RETURN>.

  • What is the replacement product for iWeb?

    I am a current user of iWeb.  I understand that iWeb is no longer an application suite.  Could any recommend a product that provide a standard template as iWeb? 
    I really prefer an product that I can easily migrate my iWeb page into without major rework.
    Thank you.

    iWeb 09 is still part of the boxed set of iLife 11 and is still available.  It is an application and will continue to work on your Mac with Snow Leopard and Lion so you can continue to use it to maintain your sites and there is no need to change at all.
    If you want to look at other programmes there is RapidWeaver, Sandvox or Flux 3.  However, RapidWeaver and Sandvox have no import facility so if you use either of these, you'll have to re-build yoru stie from scratch.
    Flux 3 can open your existing site, but it is a steeper learning curve than either of the others.
    You can stick with iWeb for the time being though.  There is no rush to change as it will still work.

  • Replacement app for activity window downloads

    Has to be some way to do this.  In the older versions of Safari you could open up an activity window and download embedded videos.  Now i can not find any way to do this.
    Has anyone found a good application or add-on?  Or for Firefox or Chrome or ??? 

    Carolyn:
    I just now did exactly as you recommended. Result? No change.
    Even after trashing the files and restarting and everything else, the Activity Window and YouTube behave exactly as they did before.
    (I had actually previously tried something very similar to your recommendation, and it didn't have any effect then either.)
    In case it's helpful, here's an example of what one of the mystery components that load endlessly in the Activity Window is listed as:

  • Is Apple about to introduce a replacement for iWeb?? and where can I download iWeb to replace the one I lost??

    Having spent a little time searching for a replacement download for iWeb (details of why below)  it seems that I cannot find it anywhere in Apple Land.  From my limited experience here (iphone,  macbook pro, airport extreme and airport express)  it looks like Apple gradually withdraws stuff prior to introducing something really exciting  to replace it.
    So
    Question:   Is there a new super replacement for iWeb about to be introduced?  
    I cannot believe that Apple would take away something as great as iWeb (having read reviews and used it myself as a complete web novice)  without giving us something better.
    I foolishly followed some genius advice and did a wipe/reload of Lion, prior to updating to Mountain Lion (my fault, I thought my lovely Macbook Pro was running a little slow - probably wasnt - just me being impatient.) Anyway, long story short,  I lost iphoto (got it back by re-purchasing but would like a refund - another string running with this),   iWeb - can't find it anywhere - asked questions here in Apple Land and am getting some conflicting answers.
    I am sat in London without my iweb for a some days and would really like to get on with a bit of web stuff. 
    Question:  is there anywhere in Apple Land where I can download iWeb
    Question:  can you confirm that the iweb programme will be on one of the disks that came with the machine?   (they are 100 miles away so I will have to wait, unless there is an easier way)
    Sorry,  rambling a bit.
    Hope you can help out there
    Thanks
    Steve

    The iWeb application was specifically created to be used with .Mac and then MobileMe and Apple withdrew support for iWeb several months ago, when it was announced that MobileMe would be no longer and would be replaced by iCloud.  MobileMe ceased at the end of June this year and has been replaced by iCloud, that does not offer web hosting, so no need for iWeb.
    Apple stopped selling iWeb in its stores several months ago and has withdrawn support for iWeb, so no, you won't find either iWeb or iDVD for sale in the Mac App Store because Apple no longer sells it.
    You cannot download iWeb, so if you want iWeb, you will have to purchase the iLife 11 boxed set from Amazon and this contains iWeb 09 which is the latest version of iWeb.  Apple does not sell this either.
    If your Mac was running Snow Leopard, then it would have come with installation CD's, so yes, you should be able to re-load the whole of the iLife series, which includes iWeb, iDVD and iPhoto back onto your Mac running Mountain Lion.  You did not need to make an additional purcahse of iPhoto from the Mac App Store - you could have re-loaded from these CD's.  The only place you will get a refund is by contacting the Mac App Store. Nobody here can help you with that.
    So if you want iWeb back, check to see if it is on you installation CD's - it should be if you have a Mac running Snow Leopard and put it back on your Mac from there.  If not, then your only option is to purchase the iLife 11 boxed set from Amazon and you can load iWeb from there.
    As Apple no longer supports iWeb and there is no MobileMe any longer, then there are unikely to be any further updates to the programme and nothing else will come along.  You can still use the app though if you have it and it works with Mountain Lion, however, there may come a time when it won't work with future iOS updates, so it would pay you to look at the alternatives out there which are many and varied.  Take a look at RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express, Flux 4 etc.  You can download free trials of most and some are for sale in the Mac App Store.
    Also, please be advised that this is a user to user forum and everyone here who replies to you is a user, so you are not talking directly to Apple here.

  • Is filemaker a replacement for iweb?

    Am I seeing this right that filemaker has a web design tool..I downloaded a free copy of freeway but I am struggling with using it..My small business web site was on Iweb so i need to find something quickly that can replace it.  thanksmargie

    FileMaker is a database creation application with the capability of creating online databases. It's no replacement for iWeb or any other web design application.
    Why are you wanting to leave iWeb?  It still works and will work for a while.  If your site includes a blog with comments or a photo pages with commenting activeated those will be no longer usable when MobileMe is discontinued on June 30th. Which of the following features does your website have:
    Features Unavailable When Publishing to a 3rd Party Server:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    All of these items can be replaced with 3rd party options. Also do you have photo or album pages?
    Regarding web design software do you have any HTML experience?  if so the Flux might be a viable replacement for iWeb.  There are many template based website design apps.  Among them are Quick'n Easy Web Builder, Freeway Express and Rage Web Design.
    However, if your website is working OK for you now any you only expect to make minor updates to it consider staying with iWeb.

  • What is the best replacement for iWeb?

    I have been using iWeb for a very long time. I need to move on to something that is being updated. What is the best replacement for iWeb? I see Wordpress needs special software to work on a Mac.
    Thanks!
    Pat

    I have used HostExcellence in the past and they support all the CMS's including WordPress, so you should have no problems there.
    The top CMS's that most have heard about and use are Drupal, Joomla and WordPress.
    There is probably no best one, but you need to look at them all and use the one that best fits your needs.
    I have used all of them in the past, but most recently Joomla and Drupal.  Drupal has a reputation for being quite hard and Drupal 6 was, but with the advent of Drupal 7, things got a lot easier.  There are a lot more themes that you can use and if you want increased functionality in Drupal, then you can download Modules and install them.  You can have a membership site if you want it and this is easy to do - people can sign up for an account and you can restrict their access to certain parts of the site and then limit what they can do.  You can allow people to complete forms on the site itself and the results to be sent to you.  There is a Blog module that you can enable and that comes in Drupal Core with no need to download an extra module.
    Joomla is good also and you can have a Blog with it too and there are lots of themes to choose from, but sometimes you have to pay for extras with Joomla - you can download Extensions and Plugins, but they may not always be free.
    WordPress was always just thought of as a blogging platform, but it has evolved in to much more than that and you can now create stunning looking websites with blogs - there are a good range of free templates to choose from and if you want your blog on the front page of your site you can have this, or you can change it to another part of your site if you want a static front page.  To extend functionality you can download plugins from inside WordPress itself, most of which are free.  This might be the easiest one for you to use if you just want a website with a built in blog that is relatively easy.
    Check out the others though at Drupal.org, Joomla.org and then WordPress.org.

  • Seeking simplest replacement for iWeb family website

    OK, with MobileMe about to bite the dust I am seeking the simplest, free (or lowest cost) replacement for iWeb that offers the following:
    1. Ability to create web pages for major family events (wedding, births, etc.).
    2. Ability to use our purchased domain name to name the site.
    3. Ability to link to our genealogy site and other web info.
    4. Tight integration with iPhones - to import new photos and pages.
    Basically, our website is an online scrapbook. I don't really want a blog to tell the world about all our recent activities; I just want a place that mainly offers photo albums and maybe some written content. I'm not interested in Facebook because I want to be able to have the site separate from Facebook.
    Suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    I can't see why anybody would want to pay this (or any) amount for a simple transfer. In any case, nearly all the files in a MobileMe account should be first downloaded to your Mac since most of us used it for more than just website hosting.
    Unless you have a very basic site, you will have folders of assets outside of the main website folder. These need to be uploaded to the root folder on the new server and the URLs to them need to be changed in iWeb. Anybody who doesn't take the time to learn basic FTP and the server file structure is going to have even more problems with this part of the operation!
    The actual files produced by iWeb don't need to be moved anyway since its just a question of publishing to the new hosting account using one of the methods shown here...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
    The first two companies mentioned on this page will move the files for free for new customers...

  • Updated my iPad 2 to ios6 and wish I didn't. Lost the wonderful maps app and I'm miserable.  Is there a replacement app coming from google with street view for iPad?

    Looking to the community for a suggestion for the best replacement map app for my ipad2.  I regret "upgrading" to ios6 when I lost the old maps app.  I used it daily and had perfect functionality for my purposes.  Now I wish I'd researched it more before I clicked '"install."  Is there a google replacement coming soon with street view that works like the old one?  Is apple working on fixing the existing app to include the features of the old app?   So sad....wish I could go back!

    I tried the google Maps app on my iPad2 but it looked terrible.  Blurry when expanded to 2X, clumsy and not intuitive.  Terrible for my purposes and way different from the old Google Maps app.  Per International Business Times (12/13/12):
    "While iOS users may be rejoicing at the return of their favorite navigation app, it should be noted that Google Maps has not yet launched for the iPad. The version currently available in Apple’s App Store is only for the iPhone, and Apple Maps will still act a the default Maps App on iPhones even after Google Maps has been installed."
    Perhaps it'll look/behave better when an iPad version is eventually released.   But thank you anyway.
    Gonna try the EggMapsHD.  Just wish there were some reviews out there.
