Trouble publishing iWeb

I designed a new site in iWeb, with an introductory page, and a page with several albums.
When I published it, the pages and albums listed in the tree on the left side switched from blue to red, and when viewed from the site, the album page is blank.
Is this an iWeb problem or one with Mobile Me?
I'm assuming it's iWeb, since it's in the iWeb application where the pages and albums are now red.
So what causes this?
Do I have bad links or something?
I used the Media window on the right and dragged albums from iPhoto to my album page in iWeb. Later I dragged some additional photos and videos directly from iPhoto to my albums in iWeb. I also dragged a video I created in iMovie directly into one of my iWeb albums.
Could my doing that have created my problems?
I've restarted the computer, republished my entire site several times, and deleted the plist file as suggested in this forum.
Any ideas? Why did my pages and albums turn red?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Publish the site to a folder on your desktop and run it from there to see if all the pages have been created properly. You can change the destination of the publish by clicking on the site's folder icon in iWeb on the left.
Click to view full size
If the site is what you expected by republishing the site to MobileMe via the File->Publish Entire Site menu option and check online.
The issue with the items turning red has been with iWeb 09 for a while now. It affects some and not others it seems. I've found that even though the icons are red iWeb doesn't always republish the entire site if Publish Changes is used. It's hit or miss on that issue. Be sure to report the problem to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html.

    I'm getting an error saying: There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider. 
    I've had this once before but I don't remember what I did to solve it.  Any help would be appreciated.  I am on an iMac OSX 10.7.5

    This can happen due to bad file names.
    Check your file names - particularly recently added image files - to make sure that there are no spaces or special characters in them. Also, look for a space just before the file extension.

    Troubleshooting suggestions:
    Ensure the page you are linking to exists in the correct folder.
    Check your file name for case sensitivity . Index.htm is not the same as index.htm!
    Temporarily disable any rewrite rules by renaming your .htaccess file if it exists

    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.)
    You have a site here: http://virginiagordon.com/www.virginiagordon.com/WELCOME.html

  • Publishing iWeb Site on a Personal Domain

    Hi,
    I'm having a lot of trouble publishing my site to a personal domain. I am using iWeb 08 and am publishing via MobileMe and domains.com is my host. For some reason, I just can't get the site to publish on my personal domain. My personal domain is registered on MobileMe and the CNAME is programmed into the domains.com DNS management area. What's going on that's not allowing it to appear?? The site is just blank...please help!

    Works fine for me too, but not if you place the www before your domain name. If you want this too, you may need to go back to your DNS settings and set up a new CNAME for your domain name that includes the www part too, but only if you want to.

  • Publishing Iweb 08

    Hello everybody.
    Having trouble publishing a web site we built in Iweb 06. We changed to one of the new templates and added a couple of new pages. Have tried to approx 4 times and every time it results in crashing Iweb before it publishes. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks david

    Unless you have a backup copy of the pre-updated Domain.sites file, you may be in trouble. Have you tried publishing to a folder?
    If by chance you have a backup, duplicate it and then update the copy (rename it Domain.sites2, from Domain copy.sites2) in iWeb08, and without doing any changes to the site execute a Publish all to .Mac. If you are successful, make a backup copy of the new Domain.sites2 file, put it in a safe place, and try again with your new templates/changes.

  • Publishing iWeb Error...   ...Has it been solved yet???...

    I kinda let it go when I first started having trouble with iWeb 1.1.1, hoping that Apple would fix the error within time. A friend just brought it to my attention that I haven't updated my iWeb in about six months.
    Cut a long story short. I'm still getting the...
    Publish Error
    An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites/iWeb/Site/Blog”.
    ...And I've just spent the last two hours looking through the iWeb Discussions trying to find an answer, doing what some people have suggested, and not had anything work.
    Is there a fix that I may have missed? Or is this something that just isn't fixable until another update from Apple?
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Laith,
    As you can probably tell from the various posts around here, several people are still experiencing various publishing errors similar to the one that you describe. I'd like to think that these errors are sporadic and happen to only a handful of people. It must be difficult to track down all of the variables. Otherwise, I'm sure Apple would have come out with a fix by now. Unfortunately, this is not the case. All anyone can really suggest is to keep trying different things.

  • Can't publish iWeb due to .png error

    can't publish iWeb due to .png error

    With as many people that have this same issue, I am very surprised that support is still sleeping at the wheel.  Some of the suggestions border on the absolute absurd (e.g. create new user account, check the system clock, etc.).  I've tried them all, including exclusion from AVAST, resetting router, etc etc etc.  iCloud status shows all green.
    As the owner of a software development company, I find it hard to believe Apple, of all support, has been unable to get this issue resolved once and for all.  It would certainly make sense, as well, to collate this issue into a single thread instead of bouncing users off the moon and back.
    I spent 1/2 day on the phone with Apple support trying to get iTunes to backup and was promised a call back from the next tier of support.  That was 4 months ago and I still haven't been able to backup my iphone 4S.  I've never seen software that is more kludgy and unreliable with every passing upgrade (sorry, but it's the truth)!
    After two years of not being able to back up my phone, I am considering going to a more reliable platform.  After 6 years on the Apple bus, maybe it's time to get off.

  • Internet Explorer 7 - Trouble loading iWeb 08 Pages

    Is anyone else having trouble with iWeb 08 pages not loading properly when viewed in Internet Explorer 7?
    Everything loads fine on a Mac (Firefox 2.0) and even on a PC using Firefox but when viewing the site from IE7 it seems like pages containing photos (ie photo pages and blog entries) are having trouble loading completely. The images never appear or some images appear or some thumbnails fail to appear in the new photo gallery page.
    Solutions? Work arounds? Or is this just a bug that needs to be repaired in an upgrade?
    I love the Mac but the new iWeb and iPhoto seem a little glitchy out of the box.

    mtd,
    I tested your site on my PC with IE 7. No problems. In fact I tested load times for both Safari (Mac) and IE (PC) and they were almost identical. I compared screens side by side and they looked the same. Some of you may not have updated versions of IE. Additionally the IE browser settings can be a bit tricky. You know, it's MS so troubleshooting is a given! One suggestion is to delete all the cookies currently running in IE 7 and give it another viewing.
    I have noticed that some themes slow down both browsers. It's a matter of complexity of the theme.
    All the Best,

  • How to publish iWeb to iCloud?

    How to publish iWeb to iCloud?

    iCloud does NOT allow you to host your web sites. You can continue to use iWeb but, will need a 3rd party web host to upload your websites to. Depending on the version of iWeb you are using you have a couple of publishing options:
    iWeb '09 (3.0.4) you can publish to an FTP Server or a local folder. ( With the built in FTP in iWeb you will end up with an address like "www.YourDomain.com/sitename/Home.html )
    iWeb '08 you can publish your website to a local folder
    I have been using IX Webhosting for several years with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across. The have plans that start at $3.95 a mo (USD) and their customer service is top notch.

  • How to publish iWeb online but not through iCloud but someone else?

    How to publish iWeb online but not through iCloud but someone else?
    Mybe Google or woodpress, 
    Or publish iWeb online with iCloud WITHOUT upgrading Lion?

    iWeb will still be around but as Jeff pointed out if you want a blog with visitors comments you should consider converting your iWeb blog to  WordPress.  Rage Software has created an applicaiton that will convert your current iWeb blog w/visitor comments to a Wordpress blog. You can get the application here: Convert Your iWeb Blog to a WordPress Blog.
    If you don't have visitor comments then the iWeb blog will continue to work for you on a 3rd party FTP server.
    If you have photo pages in your website with the accompanying slideshow you'll need to read the following:
    It's now confirmed that 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
    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.
    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.

  • I can't publish - iWeb crashes every time I try

    For the past 3 days, each time I try to publish, iWeb begins republishing all the pages and then just quits. I have been using the program for many months now and everything was fine. I added a lot of new photos. Could that be the problem? As far as I can tell, that is all I did. Any suggestions for getting back to my blog?

    I am having the same problem. I have added another page to a site and iweb crashes. I have watched and it crashes at different times during the publish. I have tried to move the page around but nothing works. The last message I got was:

  • Publishing iWeb pages from 2 different Macs

    I have recently bought a MacBook to complement my G4 Powermac desktop - the desktop has iLife05 installed and the MacBook iLife06.
    I am really enjoying using the iWeb application and would like to be able to publish iWeb pages from both my MacBook and my desktop mac. Is there anyway I can get iLife06 transferred onto my desktop. I have already been firewiring files between the two - can I do the same with software or do I need to buy iLife all over again?
    Powermac G4 Dual 1.42GHz    

    Hi James,
    Your response definitely helped me since my boss and I are trying to maintain a website on both of our computers...
    BUT, i have a huge problem. Before I knew how to transfer or find the domain files, I used the "FIND" option to search for the domain site on my computer and when i clicked it open, my site didn't come up but rather a prompt asking me what type of website I'd like to create. For months, the website we created showed up every time I opened iweb but now when i simply clicked on domain.site or whatever it was that turned up in the "Find" folder, I can't bring up or locate the site I created on the computer so I have no way to update it or put it on a disc for my boss... Do you have any idea what caused my site to disappear simply by clicking on domain or any idea where i could find my site??
    please help!! thanks!
    Vanessa
    one more thing: is it possible for my boss to edit the content of the website without iweb? could she do it through the actual website with a password or something? just curious... also if i can't get that original domain site back, is there a way i can transfer my website to a different website other than iweb so that i can keep updating without having to redo the whole thing? even being able to transfer separate blogs from iweb to the original site would work too - anything to not have to redo the welcome page and picture pages that are already online

  • Trouble publishing to .Mac

    Hi,
    I decided to refresh the design of my iWeb Site, which I upload to .Mac. For this I changed the Template for all sites in iWeb and deleted some older sites that I didn't need/want anymore.
    When I click "Publish" iWeb starts creating the pages, like it usually does but when it is supposed to start uploading the files I just get beachballing and a very, very unresponsive mac ( I had to hard-reset it two times because I couldn't even get enough ressources to force quit iWeb). The creating of pages goes through all the way but after that, no go.
    I tried publishing to a folder and that works, even though that ended kind of abruptly, too and gave me beachballing at the end (even though all files are in the folder).
    Anybody got some idea on what I can do?
    Thanks!

    Delete the file Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist.
    Restart your Mac and run Disk Utility to repair permissions.
