Started creating a web site using iWeb, signed up for MobileMe trial, now iWeb won't work?

So I started playing around with iWeb and created a web site for my portfolio. I then signed up for a trial of the MobileMe. After I went through the whole setup process for MobileMe...setting up on my iPod Touch, then on my iMac, then syncing all the apps...I back to iWeb to publish my web site to my newly created MobileMe account. Only iWeb was unresponsive. I tried to restart the application. I get as far as the welcome screen with the "Getting Started Video", but there is no iWeb window open behind that. I tried to restart my machine...nothing!
Now I have this MobileMe trial that is ticking away and I can't even use it. Please help, thanks.

Update. After a conversation with Marlon at Apple Support, we have it resolved. As soon as I mentioned that iWeb would launch properly on other profiles, we figured out that it has to be a preference problem. I should have known better, its one of the first things to check. But, I've been away from macs for a little bit, so I'm a little rusty in the troubleshooting dept.
To trash iWeb preferences:
1) Quit iWeb
2) Navigate to:
User Directory --> Library --> Preferences  --> com.apple.iWeb.plist
3) Take this file and drag it to your desktop
4) Relaunch iWeb
5) If everything works as it should, you can take the preference file you dragged to your desktop and move it to      the recycle bin.
Somewhere in the MobileMe registration and setup process the preferences for iWeb froze up. Trashing the iWeb preferences fixed the problem.
If I come across any issues posting site to MM or posting site updates to MM I will update this thread.

    I have created a website using iWeb. It has been running fine, with no problems at all.
    I have recently made some changes and the updates don't show in Safari, but when I open Firefox, the changes are there. It doesn't show the updates in Chrome on my iphone either? Any suggestions?

  • Created a web site in iweb, i have a domain through godaddy, what resource can I use as host?

    Created a web site in iweb. I have a domain name through GoDaddy, What resource should I use to make site public?

    I would agree that it helps the newcomer to FTP to have a hosting service whose tech support understand the unique structure of iWeb created sites. I have lost count of the number of users who have asked me to sort out problems created by tech support employed by numerous hosting services - including the mighty GoDaddy.
    A lot of tech support people don't seem to bother to look at the form and function of the iWeb index.html files and advise users that they have to rename their home page to "index". While this holds true for most websites, it certainly doesn't apply to iWeb.
    Its not "simply the html and css files". How many users come unstuck when they forget about the feed.xml?
    People who hand out advice in this forum about uploading files via "Cyberduck" tend to miss out the part about the importance of maintaining the site structure by uploading the whole folder created by iWeb plus the external index.html.
    They also may not have been around back when I first announced that I uploaded the contents of the iWeb folder to get rid of the site name in the URL. I was shot down in flames by the iWeb "experts" and told that this was impossible - even although I was obviously doing it!
    Although this method of uploading the files has become accepted practice in the iWeb community I wouldn't recommend it to those who are new to FTP unless they have help from a tech support person who actually understands the problems involved and can point out the downside. Those who claim that it is "simple" and "easy" have obviously forgotten the first time that they tried it!
    A lot of the people who come to this forum for help with FTP end up in a complete mess due to the conflicting and inadequate advice they get due to the fact that the "adviser" hasn't a clue about the hosting account structure and can't view the actual files. In many cases, I have had to go into the users hosting account and sort out the mess created by bad advice and ignorance. This should really be done by the hosting service's tech support but, in many cases, they helped create the problem in the first place.
    The mere fact that an iWeb user has to come to this forum for help with FTP seems to suggest that their hosting service has inferior tech support.

  • Create and manage multiple web sites using iWeb and GoDaddy

    Now that Mobile Me is going away and the other comments in this discussion relate to iwebsites were written several years ago, I am looking for  new and up-to-date information.
    I have been building and maintaining a website using my MobileMe account and porting it over to GoDaddy.
    I need to re-write the site if for no other reason than it is getting cluttered and needs freshining.
    I would also like to create some other seperate web sites with their own URL
    1)  Is iWeb capable of doing this?
    2)  All the information I have found on iWebsites is at least 3 years old and there does not seem to be updates to that software.
    3)  Are there other tools that will allow me to do this?
    And finally, does the group have  any words of wisdom for me.
    Thanks Dunc

    It is now generally acknowledged that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    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
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    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.
    Click to view full size
    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: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    It now appears that 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 available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
    Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.
    This might be of some interest to you at this time: Life After MobileMe.
    If you're running or planning on running Lion the following will be of some interest to you:
    In 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.
    For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files  Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain. This applicaiton can be use with earlier versions of the OS to select and open multiple domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • How best to handle multiple web sites using iWeb 08

    I currently am using iWeb08. I am maintaining two websites; The church site resides on a Rogers server. I use Transmit as a FTP loader. The other site is an engineering society's website that is posted on Apple's server. I have an ME account just for the latter group. iWebsites is used to alternate between the two sites. The church group has a .ca web address.
    Is it worth upgrading to iWeb 09? How does iWeb09 handle 2 websites? I wish I could publish both to the Mac account but have not figured out how. I must retain the rogers account for viewing the church site
    Has anyone deleted iWebsites from OX10.5.6? How was it done? I know that backups are mandatory before attempting these changes.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    In its current form, iWeb '09 doesn't handle publishing well at all!
    I keep all my sites on separate domain files, each in their own folder. Any site is launched in iWeb by double clicking the domain file. I start each new site from a new, blank domain file.
    I keep all my website folders in a folder in a second dock so that I can launch any site with two mouse clicks - faster than you can launch iWebsites!
    You can publish as many sites as you want to one MobileMe account but you can only have domain name forwarded as Cname. Any more have to use masking with all its inherent problems.
    I would be more inclined to dump MobileMe and publish both sites to a decent hosting company.
    The new iWeb '09 FTP works for some. I have tested it with my server - Host Excellence - which doesn't force you to upload to a Public_html folder and this goes as planned.
    Having said that, I still publish to a local folder as I optimize and upload my files using Web Site Maestro. Once you have published your site for the first time, this application will then use its Smart Handling feature to process the changed files only.
    Unless all your viewers use Macs you have to optimize to get your pages to download in that browser that all the Fred Flintstones of the world use.

  • Publishing a particular Web site using iWeb when you have 2 iWeb projects

    Hi ! I'm a new mac user. Working with iWeb is great. I have 2 web projects. How can I upload or publish 1 of the sites without both of them being uploaded ? Every time I have tried to upload on .Mac, both sites are being uploaded but I only want one of them (the smallest one) to be uploaded. Thanks for the help !

    goony goo goo,
    It can be done, but you need to jump through a few hoops to make it happen. Read through these notes on separate sites, held in individual Domain.sites files in iWeb.

  • How do I create a web site using already .doc files?  More words than photo

    I really want not to write everything on the iweb 08 format, but select, copy and edit my documents already written in .doc, or text, or ppt.
    How do I do this? And, is it possible to edit them when they are in the iweb page?
    Thanks,
    María Cristina

    You've posted this question in the iWeb 09 forum, but the same answer will work for both versions.
    All you need to do is to choose which template type meets your needs and then copy/paste the text from your .doc or whatever document, into a text field on the page.
    I would open the word documents with a text editor like Textwrangler so that all of the hidden Microsoft formatting data (font and paragraph info) is removed from the text. After pasting the text into the iWeb text box I'd change the font to one of the Web fonts for compatibility.
    All of the text on an iWeb page remains editable for future changes.

  • Auto upgraded last night, Norton popped up with warning about using an exe file - Nortorn removed file now firefox won't work - what to do to restore firefox and keep bookmarks, etc. or is new exe safe to use?

    After Firefox upgraded, I closed the upgrade window and started firefox. When I went to bookmarks and tried to open a program a Norton window opened warning that this was untested...only 10 users in the community and gave three options:
    1. Block program
    2. Remove file
    3. Let it run.
    Not really knowing what was going on, I picked option 2. The "removal" was still running 7 hours later so I shut the computer down manually. All other programs seem to be working fine (email, Internet Explorer, etc.)
    When I now open firefox I have the option to start a new session or restore. I have not restored and a new session will stay open a few seconds before microsoft closes the program ( program has stopped working). I would like to restore firefox and get it working without loosing my bookmarks, etc.or have Norton try to block the program. Also, I think the exe file in question is a launcher.

    What are the names of the files? That is your beginning. One
    option is to isolate your computer from the web while you get
    back control.

  • Editing a web site using windows that was made with iweb using a MAC

    I published my web site using iweb with my MBP, but at times would like to edit it when I'm running windows. Anyone know how to do it?

    You can't. To edit a site created by iweb, you must be using a mac with iweb installed and also with the Domain file installed that was used to create the site.
    http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/iwebdata.html
    Of course you can mess with the html and other files created by iWeb with any app you please, but any changes will be overwritten if you republish from iWeb later.

  • Creating iPod touch/iPhone web sites with iWeb

    I have a web site created with iWeb, i was woundering if it's possible to create a web site specifically for the iPod touch/iPhone platform . Or is there some tamplates in iWeb for creating iPhone/iPod touch web sites ?

    Here's a site I created with the iPad in mind.
    http://ipad.dailynews.webege.com/
    I used a template from iWork's Pages.
    Then I made a page setup for the width and height of the iPad screen : 1024x768 or rather 768x1024.
    The paper size = 28,40 x 34,50 cm. The papersize is slightly larger because I had a background in mind but changed that later.
    The display percentage is 100% so it will look the same as in iWeb.
    I copy/pasted the objects from Pages to iWeb.
    Then used the iPad simulator to view it. Hopefully it's the same with a real iPad.
    See if you accomplish the same for the iPhone/iPod touch.

    I don’t know why but  I create a WEB site and my friends who use a pc windows, have a lot of trouble when they open my movies.  The other friends who use Apple, they don’t have problem.  I have iMovie11 and my extension file is .m4v.  Is it because the extension .m4v is bad for windows ?

    No web site expert here but I would suggest changing the .m4v to .mp4 and ask one of those friends if they still have problems.  .m4v is something I always associate with iTunes and don't really see it used elsewhere.

  • Synchronizing 2 sites using iweb

    Hello everyone,
    I have already created a site using iweb & now need to create another one for another business of mine.
    How do i synchronize it with Mobileme as i already have a personal domain listed?
    Please Help!!!!
    Thank You.

    Here's how to have multiple sites in a single MMe account with one or more sites having a domain name.
    A. All sites are in the same Domain.sites2 files
    1 - only one site can use the CNAME method of domain name forwarding and it must  the top site in the left hand pane of iWeb.
    Click to view full size
    2 - the other sites must use URL domain name forwarding which directs the domain name to the site's full MMe URL, http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/Site_Name,  or, if there is no domain name, just MobileMe's full URL.
    B. Each site is in its own Domain.sites2 file.
    Again, only one site can use CNAME forwarding.  This presents a problem since CNAME forwarding directs the domain name to the basic MMe account URL: http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/ which uses an index.html file in the root folder of the account, iDisk/Web/Sites. Each time a new site is published or an existing site uses the File->Publish Entire Site a new index.html file is created in that root directory, iDisk/Web/Sites folder, directing the browser to that particular site.  This file is what the CNAME method uses to find the site it represents.  Therefore some steps must be taken to assure that the index.html file in the MMe Accounts root directory always points to the correct site.  This can be accomplished is three ways.
    1 - don't use the CNAME method.  Just use  URL forwarding .  This, IMO, is the simplest method as it doesn't requre any additional effort on the user once the domain name has been set up.
    2 - use the following method suggested by Wyodor in this topic: Is it possible to have multiple sites when using ur Domain name?   
    In iWeb domainfile 1:
    Create a dummy site : _dummy
    with a blank page.
    Create your working site : Whatever
    Add pages
    Publish both Sites to the same same location on the same server.
    Your _dummy site is now the default Site.
    Check.
    In iWeb domainfile 2:
    Create/Use your CurrentSite.
    Move a page to the top of the Site and back. Publish the Site.
    iWeb will create a new index.html file in the root of the server and from now on CurrentSite is the default site.
    Check.
    From now on, never move your Whatever Site to the top of the list in the iWeb sidebar and never change the page in the _dummy site.
    Simply do not touch your _dummy ever again. And never forget that.
    3 - use Ethmoid's suggested method in Using two sites - setting one up with separate domain? or republishing the entire site that uses  CNAME forwarding.  Just making a minor change and publishing the site changes does not create a new index.html file. 
    The entire site must be republsihing in order to get that new site.  
    Or keep a copy of the CNAME site's index.html file on your Mac and replace it manually in the iDisk/Web/Sites fodler when necessary.
    NOTE:  the CNAME method provides a shorter URL:  http://www.Domain_Name.com/Site_Name/Page_Name.  CNAME does not have masking.
    The URL forwarding displays the full MMe URL:   http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/Domain_Name/Page_Name.   With domain name masking that will be shortened to:   http://www.Domain_Name.com for every page of your site.
    However, with masking visitors will only be able to bookmark and enter at the first page of the site.  If a page is refreshed the visitor is taken back to the first page.  Also search engines will only be able to index the first page of the site.
    Just a thought:  since MobileMe will be discontinued next June 30, 2012, you might start looking for a new host to put your sites on. I'm familar with HostExcellence.com which has a couple of package specials which include free domain names. One for $8/mo with 3 free names and one for $4/mo with one free name.   There are others with similar offers.  HE has excellent 24/7 ear-to-ear customer support.

    How can I add an episode to an existing web page using iWeb?

    Hi apple-owner,
    Method 1.
    To create this scatter-plot, I selected the whole of Columns A and B. (Shift click on the Column reference tabs).
    The plot ignores blank rows, but they are "ready" for new data:
    Method 2
    If you did not select whole columns, you can extend the "active" rows. Rows 1-5 selected:
    Add more data rows and drag the fill handle (small white circle, bottom right) down
