Strange Quicktime publishing problem in iWeb

I have a website where I have put up lots of different small Quicktime files. They all work fine except for one - that I can see when I am in iWeb, but that disappears after I publish my site to a folder and check it in a browser (either Safari or Firefox). I use iWeb to create my site and then I publish to a folder and then FTP. I have been using iWeb 1.1.2 in this manner for a while and have never encountered this. If anyone can help me, I would be so grateful. Thx.

repeated this scenario with a new user account and new empty site and new mobileme account with the same results

  • QuickTime Player Problem with iWeb v3.0.4 and Safari v5.1.2

    iWeb v3.0.4 published web site with Safari v5.1.2:
    I'm in the process of creating a web site (www.koinonia.com) using iWeb v3.0.4.  There is an inserted QuickTime element on the home page which is playing an mp3 music file.  The QuickTime player (Show movie controller option in iWeb) does not work with Safari v5.1.2 (but does work fine with Firefox v9.0.1).  There should be a Movie Controller below the album jpeg image, but is not there with Safari.  Also, the movie (mp3 audio file) does not play automatically (plays fine with Firefox).  This looks to be a bug with Apple's iWeb / Safari applications.
    Does anyone know how to get the QuickTime element to play with Safari v5.1.2?
    Thanks

    Safari 5 running in Snow Leopard has been a problem for me. It screws up html, loads a distorted control bar in HTML5 and crashes every now and again when I do a Google search. Reporting these issues is a waste of time as the latest update had no fix. I test all my pages in Firefox and Chrome and don't bother much with Safari since less than 3% use it.
    I have the same issue as the OP. The file will only load in Safari if the page is open in Firefox at the same time.
    This problem arose over a year ago and is related to files imported from iTunes via the media browser. If the OP will confirm that the file came from iTunes, I will have a look at the meta data to see if there's anything there that iTunes has added.
    The only time I am forced to use iTunes is for apps that don't allow import from the finder such as certain situations in Keynote. Otherwise, I wish it would disappear down a black hole in the universe along with Windows and Internet Explorer.
    I converted the file to MP4 with QT Pro to prove the point that its the actual MP3 file that is causing the problem - along with Safari.
    I haven't depended on the QT Plugin for playing media for quite some time now. HTML5 now works in all modern browsers and should also work in IE 8 if the HTML5 Shiv is included in the head of the page.
    Its also a breeze to get flexible movies in responsive web design using HTML 5...

    I don't bother too much with flash fallback anymore since these designs are mainly for mobile devices and I can ignore those who are reluctant to upgrade their out of date browsers.

  • Publishing Problems with iWeb '08

    I have two separate sites (one existing and one new) that I can not publish to MobileMe or to a folder. I can not figure out what the problem as they are very simple sites. I have deleted preferences, rebuilt permissions and reinstalled iWeb. Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome. The Console logs are below:

    Try the following: delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, and clear out the User/Library/Caches/iWeb folder, reboot and try again.
    Note: If you keep your domain file anywhere other than the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder you'll need to find it and double click on it to open in iWeb.

  • I have more problems in iWeb than I can begin to describe.  For one, after an "unexpected shutdown" of iWeb, it just deleted 10 of my published pages.

    I published the updates to my site last night.  Today I have had to make some adjustments.  I saved iWeb before I left for lunch just in case.  After lunch, I made more changes and through an issue with a photo album, iWeb "unexpectedly quit".  When I went to Revert to Saved..., it did revert to saved, which I didn't realize until then that somehow iWeb had deleted 10 pages before I saved it.  So now I have lost 10 pages. 
    Every time I open iWeb, it tells me it no longer has the links to documents or any of the pictures.  Every time I work on iWeb, I have to reattached all the documents and re upload all the pictures all over my site.
    I could write for hours about the problems with iWeb.  Certainly I am doing something wrong ... but my IT company has no idea what is wrong or how to fix it.
    I have iWeb version 3.0.4 (601)

    First replace your domain file that's in the Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder with a backup copy that was made before this happened.
    If you don't have a backup copy try the following:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    3 - launch iWeb and try again.
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain 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.

    It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. (Even though I've now noticed you mis-spelled it! - anyway, never post your address in a forum.)

  • Problem with iWeb publishing to IE

    Hello, I am experiencing a problem with iWeb '08 publishing content to Internet Explorer. The images and web pages look fine in Safari and in Firefox, but a lot of the web page images are mirrored in IE, covering up large parts of the text. Please don't tell me I have to spend $79.00 on upgrading to iLife '09. I just upgraded my iWorks to '09, but would upgrading to '09 in this instance even be the answer? Please advise. I fear that I will alienating any of my IE web surfers. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello and welcome to the board.
    IE is a terrible browser to render pages made with IWeb (I'm not sure upgrading to ILife 09 will fix your problem).
    I decided to somewhat "alienate" my IE visitor by putting a message on my home page that recommend them to use a compatible browser. Check my page (using IE here: http://www.wesdotphotography.com/Home.html) and look at the message. Also if you use any other browser you will not see my message and will experience a better browsing. It is not the fault of IWeb but more like Microsoft not writing a proper browser. a lot of people will confirm my say.
    Search this forum and you will see a lot of complaints about IE.
    Good luck

  • Publishing Problems iWeb 1.1.2 and OS 10.4.8

    I have seen many people post with problems publishing after updating to 10.4.8 and iWeb 1.1.2.
    Here are a few examples:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=677828&tstart=30
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=674374&tstart=45

    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=674405&tstart=15
    These are only a few examples I have seen. I have also had this problem. I have attempted many solutions. Many of which were so kindly offered in this forum. Here is what I have tried:
    Uninstalling iWeb and reinstalling iWeb 1.1.1 (followed full instructions)
    Removing all new entries
    Publishing to both a folder and to .mac
    Thus, I attempted to publish put everything back to the way it was a week ago when I could publish. However, I still get the same error message:
    "Can’t create the file “shapeimage1_link0.png.” The disk may be damaged, full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges."
    With so many people having the same issues, I believe that it is a problem with iWeb and the new OS update. I am at a loss to what else to try to fix the problem. In all my readings of other problems, I can't find one person who has been able to work around this error message.
    Does anyone have a different opinion? Any other solutions?
    As a temporary soulution, I have been making minor changes to my server website via Macromedia Contribute. With Contribute I can make changes to what I published last week that is now uploaded to a server. However, this is not a long term solution. Contribute has a 30 demo program.

    Hello,
    I have been having a problem with the error message that reads:
    "Can’t create the file “shapeimage1_link0.png.” The disk may be damaged, full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges."
    I was under the impression that it was a problem with the new update 1.1.2. However, if I delete about 4 blog entries, I can publish again.
    I have only about 70 entries. As a test, I changed the excerpt length (in the inspector, click on RSS) to be much shorter (I had it on the longest setting). Now I can publish all my blog entries. It seems like there is an issue in the length of blog entries. It seems that the file that iWeb is having difficulty publishing is the image file that shows all your blog entries. It must not be able to be too big of a file.
    Thanks for all the help. This forum is great.

  • How do I make quicktime movies Fullscreen in iWeb?

    How do I make quicktime movies Fullscreen in iWeb? Can anyone help me please?

    You have to create a QTL file that opens the QT movie in the player. Based on the settings it opens in Full Screen.

    An alternative is to publish your movies to Vimeo and embed the movie in your page. These movies can play full screen.

  • Problem with iWeb 09, after the publication in a local file.

    *Subject: problem with iWeb 09, after the publication in a local file, i can't see my blog, nor my photos, but before that all was working fine.*
    After the publication in the local file, I see all my pages, but there is a mistake on the page "Blog" where I just can see the top of my page, it's cut and I can't see it entirely, so I can't see the inputs while I should see 3 news or 3 inputs. And it's the same for the "Photos" page where the page is cut, I can't see the photos, and it's just written : "Put the slide show and subscribe".To finish, when I want to activate the comments, it doesn't work neither.
    Please help me.

    I want to activate the comments, it doesn't work neither.
    The comments feature is only available when you publish to the MobileMe server, so I don't think you can use it when you publish to a local file.

  • Problem with iWeb '09

    *Hi everyone, I hope someone will be able to help me.*
    *I have just move from iLife 08 to iLife 09 just to be able to publish directly from iWeb.*
    *I am very very disappointed so far.*
    *First, I have that 'double domain name' problem that many people have experienced, secondly, the navigating menu on my web site that where working fine with the previous version simply don't appear with the new version and third, my photo gallery aren't there also.*
    *Even with Cyberduck or Transmit or Fetch, it's the same problem.*
    *Do I have to go back to the previous version. If so, It's a pure waste of money and time.*
    *Maybe this software was not ready to be released.*
    Is there any hope?
    Thanks for any help.
    François

    Not the most elegant solution, but here is a way around the double domain name problem that I've found:
    You will need an external ftp client and a freeware program called massreplaceit
    1. Publish to a local folder.
    2. duplicate the local folder (IMPORTANT... to use the "publish changes only" in iWeb, you need to keep the original folder and duplicate it everytime you make changes)
    3. use mass replace it and have it search for any instance of sitename.com/sitename.com and change it to sitename.com... click accept changes
    4. upload the contents of the newly fixed folder (NOT THE FOLDER ITSELF) via ftp to your site.
    5. now all your permalinks AND RSS feeds will be correct.
    It would be really easy for Apple to fix this though. If you didn't HAVE to enter a site name for your "main" site that can then simply upload to the root folder (public) of your web host.
    Anyway... hope this helps somebody.

  • 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,

    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.

  • 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."
    Regards,
    Richard M.
    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!
    Ruben
    G4 17 inch Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    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.

  • Problem uploading iWeb site to Hostgator

    I just created a site with iWeb, and got a host account with HostGator. My domain name came from NameCheap.com, so I changed the DNS as instructed. I then tried to publish my site. I entered the IP address that HostGator provided to me in iWeb's Server Settings box titled "Server address," then entered my username and password. I clicked Test Connection, but I keep getting a message telling me that I am offline. I am definitely online, and I tested the IP address with Cyberduck successfully, so it's a problem with iWeb. Does it work to enter the IP address in "Server Address," or am I supposed to wait until the DNS change takes effect and enter a different server address?

    Publish your site to a folder on your HD and use Cyberduck to upload the contents of that folder, the site folder and an index.html file, to your host server. Cyberduck is reported to be much more reliable that the built in ftp client of iWeb.
    Happy New Year

  • Problems with iWeb, after installing Lion

    Hi,
    Ever since I installed Lion, I have been having problems with iWeb. Any changes I make in iWeb, and then publish to my site, via mobileme, are not saved, and the site reverts to the orignial site, after closing the website, and iWeb also loses the cahnges. I am unable to sue the Publish Site button, and the option for Publish Site changes is not available.
    I am using iLife 11.
    These problems have only occurred since I installed Lion.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    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 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.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    Just launch the application, 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.
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
