Strange Problem: iWeb won't let me do ANYTHING

I'm not sure what the deal is, but I purchased a MacBook last Monday and I opened iWeb, but almost ALL of its menu items are "greyed-out" so that I cannot click on them. Plus the "+" button to add a new page is greyed out.
The bottom line is that I cannot do anything in iWeb, at all.

Do you have a second user account on your Mac, if so can you open iWeb from this account?
If not, go to Applications/System Preferences > Accounts, then click on the + sign in the botttom lefthand corner, then walk through the steps to set up a new user. In Login Options, tick enable Fast User Switching, it does what it says on the tin!
Click on the name in the top right hand side of the main menu bar to see the new user to switch to.

  • IWeb won't let me do anything

    For some reason, when I tried to open up iWeb, it took me to the typical editor page, except with no page in it. I can't get to the preset templates list, nor can I create a new project. It's acting like I already have a project created, but I can't even do anything with that project ("New Project"). iWeb was working for me in the past, and I don't know what could have caused this.

    Have you updated to 1.1.2 yet? If not....don't do it just yet. First download the iWeb 1.1.1 updater image from Apple here... http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/iweb111.html Download it and install it right over the iWeb 1.1.1 installation that you have already. Now try iWeb again. Should work.
    If you are already at iWeb 1.1.2, then this won't work. Try this instead...
    1. Open iWeb and leave it open
    2. Open up iPhoto and highlight a few photos
    3. Click on the iWeb button at the bottom of the screen and select Photo Page.
    Does this work? If iWeb opens up a new photo page for you, then the rest of the program has probably also come back to life.
    If none of this is working, then the only thing to do is to delete the current iWeb installation and reinstall from your original iLife'06 DVD or your system recovery disks. Then download iWeb 1.1.1 as described above.

  • HT5312 So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

    So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

    If you mean that you aren't getting the reset link, then from the page that you posted from :
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so. 
    You can contact iTunes Support in your country via this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • IWeb won't let me publish.  Asking for mobileme password

    Hello,
    not sure what is going on here.  All of the sudden iWeb won't let me publish my site.  When I go to publish a Mobileme window comes up asking me to sign in.  Maybe I changed my password without remembering it.  How do I get me password and Member Name info?
    thanks,
    C

    Ok, I can sign into apple.com with a new password but still can't publish my website from iWeb or sign in from there.  Someone please help before I smash my computer!

  • I have money on my account but it won't let me buy anything...

    Okay, so i've bought a $15.00 itunes card and redeemed it on the store. I got the message that it was valid and that it is now in my account. PROBLEM: I tried to download an app and it first says: buy or cancel. i press buy then it goes to payment info. required. i put my password in and click billing info... I don't know what to do from here... I have money on my account but it still asks for billing info... i have no credit card to put down so what do i do?

    I have money on my account but it won't let me buy anything....
    Yes it will.
    In Canada, you cannot buy apps with iTunes gift certificates but you can buy music, tv shows and movies.

  • Firefox for Mac preferences shows .qif file format for quicken as "quicktime image format"-wrong application and won't let me select anything else

    Post to Firefox forum; Oct.2011
    Re: Quicken 2007; Mac OS 10.5
    Problem: can’t import or download Qif format files into quicken from bofa or Chase. Mac can’t recognize; how do I set preferences in Firefox (or Safari).
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/new?product=desktop&category=d1&search=Firefox+for+Mac+preferences+shows+.qif+file+format+for+quicken+as+%22quicktime+image+format%22-wrong+application+and+won%27t+let+me+select+anything+else&showform=1
    Hello,
    I previously used Firefox on my old Mac G4 with OS 10.3.9; the above issue existed with that system and Firefox 2.00.2 (or similar). I then "tried" to move to a G5 Mac with OS 10.5, hoping that an updated Mac Operating system and updating Firefox would solve that problem.
    I'm now working on my son's MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.8, 2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo; 2gb Memory; 2 gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.
    I still have a problem in Firefox Preferences trying to download .qif files. BofA Mortgage accounts only allow downloading of .qif files. My .qfx download works fine, but the error message is as follows:
    The error message is that this is a corrupted file or one that Preview doesn't recognize.
    and it is still a problem when trying to download Quicken .qif format files for our B of A mortgage.
    The preferences for Firefox under File Helpers won't let me name the extension I want; instead, it CONFUSES .qif (Quicken Interchange Format) with .qtif (Quicktime Image Format) for Mac.
    Therefore, when I download .qif files and try to import them to Quicken, I get a message that this is a corrupted file:
    thanks for any help.

    Well, in the end, I just gave up and deleted the photos, in the hope that it was something to do with them. Took some more photos and they seem to have imported without any problems at all.
    Given that the same irksome photos loaded on the wife's macbook without so much as a murmur, how weird is that?
    Still- all's well that ends well. Thanks for the suggestions- much appreciated.

  • I recently when to England.  When I returned to the US, my iPhone 5 wouldn't find the 4G network.  I've tried restoring network settings, I've tried hard resets.  I finally wiped the phone, and now, it won't let me restore anything.  Help!

    I recently when to England.  When I returned to the US, my iPhone 5 wouldn't find the 4G network.  I've tried restoring network settings, I've tried hard resets.  I finally wiped the phone, and now, it won't let me restore anything.  I'm kind of stuck - this is both my personal and my work phone, so I'm really in a bother here.  Help!

    I had "do not disturb" on in England. I did take it off airplane mode periodically, but I never actually used the network.  I stuck to local wifi to do brousing and a bit of messaging.  It periodically told me I was on an English network, but I didn't actually use it.  And I had data roaming shut off all together. 
    when I try to restore, I get this message:
    Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.  Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes.  If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support.
    When I try it through iTunes, I get a similar message. 
    and the network just keeps saying, "Searching..."

  • I tried transferring my iphoto library from my old macbook onto my new macbook pro, but when i open the new iphoto, it seems to have transferred ALL images ever used on my old macbook.  now iphoto won't let me do anything to fix!!

    i tried transferring my iphoto library from my old macbook onto my new macbook pro (via external hard drive), but when i open the new iphoto, it seems to have transferred ALL images ever used on my old macbook. so i tried to just delete all those images so i could try a different approach to transferring, but the new iphoto won't let me do anything and every time i try to delete anything it crashes (since the image amount is so high).  please help!!

    See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229?viewlocale=en_US - I doubt that it will solve your problem, though. You may want to post on the iPhoto forum - that's where all of the iPhoto experts hang out.
    Good luck,

  • Computer won't let me install anything anymore

    Ever since I repaired disk permissions this afternoon Mac won't let me install anything.
    What happens is I clicked "save to disk" to install something, I look at my desktop and either a .exe file pops or the actual file pops up but when I click on it it simply vanishes into thin air.
    I was trying to downgrade Quicktime 7 earlier today and that is when I first noticed. I thought it was a quicktime problem. I was wrong.
    HELP!
    Thanks

    What operating system are you using? (If you're not sure, click the Apple icon at the left of the menu bar and choose 'About this Mac'.) The current version of iTunes requires 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). If you have anything earlier you may be able to get a higher version of iTunes (what version do you have now) but not the current one.
    If you do have Snow Leopard or higher then evidently something is wrong; do you get an error message and if so, what?

  • Windows 8 itunes won't let me add anything to iphone

    windows 8 itunes won't let me add anything to iphone..apple community doesn't list the iphone as a product registered under my apple id, but the phone is listed on my authorized devices.  any ideas? and do i need to get it to show as a registered product?

    I have the same problem. I can't sync any apps or music on my iphone. I can't sync any music purchased through itunes on my ipod. I haven't even tried connecting my ipad for fear that it'll mess that up as well. I try to authorize my macbook but I get an error. The weird thing is that I am able to still play all of my purchased music through itunes so it seems that the authorization is at least somehow partially recognized.

    You need to add a valid payment method to your account. Purchasing and redeeming an iTunes gift card will work
