UGH... learning the iWeb/Mac
So hubby bought me a Mac and Im SUPER happy.
The problem Im having is switching over from PC to MAC. I cant seem to make the iWeb pages Ive made show up normal on the PC browsers. Is this common?
Would anyone suggest using DreamWeaver or something more for web design than iWeb and why? I need some reasons to upgrade.
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The browsers that PCs use by default are notoriously poor. There are some tricks that one can use to enhance the compatibility of iWeb sites for the Internet Explorer browser.
First use a web safe font:
Web Safe Fonts
Common fonts to all versions of Windows & Mac equivalents
Safe web fonts
Be sure you've updated to iWeb 2.0.4 and have republished all of your pages since that update (do a Publish All to MobileMe).
The later versions of IE are reported to be more compatible with iWeb sites. There are other web design applications other than DreamWeaver that users have reported as good. One is Freeway Express. This 2 page report lists the many editors for the Mac: Macintosh WYSIWYG Editors

I am building a website using IWEB, on my computer, and I am stuck suddenly, the page I made yesterday is hidden by another page and I cannot pursue..
Is there a way to learn the process, also I see a contradiction with ILIFE 2011, reading about an announcement of Steve Jobs....? that iWeb would not longer be??How is the first page hidden by the other page? Where are you experiencing this problem? In iWeb's window or in the browser window of the published site?
Are you referring to the page's link in your navbar? If so check the Inspector/Page/Page pane for the "hidden" page and make sure it's set to be included in the navbar. If that's not the problem describe in detail what you mean and include any screenshots you can make of the problem.
As far as the longevity of iWeb read the following:
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.
NOTE: the iLife 11 boxed version Is no longer available at the online Apple Store. To get a copy you'll have to try Amazon.com or eBay.com.

The system doesn’t recognize or capitalize the word (I) or the first word of every sentence. Another really annoying thing about the integrated mail on your Mac computers is the fact that the system learns the word as you type it more and more instead of highlighting it as incorrectly is this is a word that’s being misspelled. Can Apple fix this bug to make it user friendly as if you were using Office or a Word Document?
You hit the target CT.
It’s only fair that if Apple is going to integrate Mail into Mac PCs, it would be nice if the system does it for you like Office or perhaps Outlook. I just don’t to use Outlook although I have it installed and ready to use, but instead use Mail which comes with Mac OS already.
I hope to make some sense here. -
Hi all,
I'm going to buy the new mac AIR , but I knew that the application IWEB doesnt come with the new OSx LION.
Do you know if IWEB is available on the apple store and how much does it cost ?
Do you know if OSx LION will support IWEB?
Thanks a lot for your helpHere's some information on using iWeb after June 30th, 2012, when the MMe servers are taken off line: iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:

◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
All of these issues 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 the site directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.

Apple has announced that iLife is now an unsupported product and those iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the boxed iLife 11 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 already didn't have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

I'm fairly new to Mac, just got the iWeb program, I dont have and can not get a Mobile Me account, does this mean I cant use iWeb?
iWeb gives you two other options for publishing...

Sharing the iweb website creation between two macs in the same house?
I have an imac. Just purchased a macbook for the wife that arrives tomorrow. She wants to be able to update our website using her imac (a website I've started and maintained on the imac).
My question is...is it possible to "sync" the iweb application or to otherwise let her have access to the same info I see on the imac so she may update the site as well from her own mac?
We are connected in the house via a wireless network.

Is it possible to download the iWeb for the MAC OS X 10.7.1 anywhere?
As stated above, I understand that the iWeb was a part or iLife 09 and is now excluded in the latest iLife amomg with iDVD.
Does this mean, iWeb can not be run on the new macs anymore? if so, do you know any other user friendly / affordable / good web designing application for the mac?
Your feedback is greatly appreciated!It is now apparent that iWeb, and iDVD, will no longer be supported by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.

Hi,
i'm a new member of this community. I've recently learn about flashback malware and other threats to Mac devices. I've installed the new Mac OS X update for Lion 10.7, and the flashback removal tool. What about the update for Flash Player? Should i install it? Otherwise, should i permanently remove this app?
I realy need some advice.
Thank's to all.Be sure to install the latest version of Safari (version 5.1.7) which is available via Software Update (in the Apple menu) if you have not already installed it. This update will automatically disable older versions of Flash when new versions are available, and will instruct you on how to install the latest version on your system. This should help keep your system safe from any vulnerabilities in Flash.
Note that this is only useful if you use Safari, though other browsers have their own update mechanisms you should research and enable or configure to your liking. -
Tried to load iDVD from my MacBook onto my new iMac but keep getting a message that it can find any themes. iDVD runs just fine in the MacBook but for some reason when I copied it from the MacBook using a flash drive and download it on the iMac the themes went away. Suggestions?
The themes, when installed, will be in a Themes folder inside the HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD folder. Check there and when you find it copy it to the same folder on your new Mac.
Then go to iDVD's advanced preference pane and point iDVD to the location of the Themes folder:
If you can't find the Themes folder on your old Mac you can do a custom install of iDVD and its resources from the disk that came with the old Mac. It will look similar to one of these:

I had a drive failure and lost the iWeb file along with other things.
I did manage to save a lot of user file documents but I don't see or
recognize the iWeb site file. It was on a 15" G4 Titanium pb.
I'm trying to find a way, using version 2.0.4 of iWeb on a different
pb to recover the file into the iWeb app or a way to download the site into iWeb.
There are 6 pages of images and text, and it
would be a task for me to recreate the whole thing again. I did
download the site but I don't know how or if I can get iWeb to see it and open it.
Does anyone have any knowledge about this? The link to my site:

Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

[email protected]Unfortunately iWeb cannot read or import previously published files, only generate them. You'll have to recreate your site from scratch.
However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site.

I posted this message in the iWeb section and they suggested I try here...
I posted the following message on the iWeb bulletin board, and it was suggested that the error I am getting might be an OS issue instead of an iWeb issue.
message is as follows:
iWeb will not publish to .Mac. After pressing publish, the program signs into .mac and then proceeds to create the web pages. Once all the pages are created circles form next to their consecutive sites. These usually fill up like a clock showing the site being uploaded. However, for the past few days nothing happens once the circles appear. Then after a few minutes iWeb crashes. Also, during this time my whole computer freezes. iTunes will stop playing until the iWeb crash is complete. This has happened every time I have tried to publish over the past few days. Just last week I was able to publish without any problems.
I think there might be a problem with .mac because I am able to publish to a folder without any problems.
I have repaired permissions over and over again...
The only thing new I added to my mac since my last time I publish something in iWeb was the trial version of File Maker's Bento.
Here is the error message I get from the crash.

Today, safari crashed with the same error message.
I do not think this is not a network connection problem because I tried both at home and at school with the same result. I also remember that I recently installed a security update that was released several months ago. At the time of the release it was close to finals, and I could not risk losing my laptop...
Thank you in advance!

After creating a new user account, I moved the domain file over to the new account.
However, I still had the problem where iWeb would crash.
I was able to publish when I moved the previous domain file to another folder and tried with a new site a and domain file.
For me this meant that somehow my old domain file had become corrupt. I was really upset. I had kept a blog regularly for over two years and now everything was lost.
Or was it? Before all this started, after two years of using the same template for creating my blog, I changed everything over to a new theme. Previously I had put a lot of my photos up with iWeb. But, during my conversion I erased those photo pages and decided to go with the new gallery feature. This took my web site from over 400 MB down to a mere 30 MB. It was after this conversion that I started to have problems with iWeb crashing.
(Before I had made conversions to different templates on other web sites I have made using iWeb without a problem. So, I did not have a reason to think that was the cause.)
Anyway, thinking I had lost two years worth of blog entries I was desperate. So, I tried something drastic. I erased the contents of the Web folder on my idisk. And this did the trick. It seems that going from over 400 MB to 30 MB was too much for iWeb to handle at one time. Now that it is a brand new site, it up loads without a problem.
Just in time too. I needed iWeb to get another site up and going!
Before trying to upload I did not have to erase the .plist file or anything to get it to work.
I also did not reinstall iWeb or Mac OS X.
I wish you the VERY best of luck!!
P.S. I did not get an responses here either. However, the people in the iPhoto group were very helpful! -
Using the New Mac Pro (can) - AE will not let me use Race Traced 3-D
Using the New Mac Pro (can) - AE will not let me use Race Traced 3-D
Hi, I'm using the new Mac Pro
2.7 GHz 12-core Intel Xeon E5
64 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB
OSX 10.9.2
I'm using After Effects 12.2.1.5
When I attempt to invoke the race trace 3D renderer in a comp, I get this error
"After Effects Error: Ray-traced 3D: Out of paged mapped memory for ray tracer. Your project may exceed GPU limits. Try closing other applications. Try updating the CUDA driver. (5070::2)"
My preferences are set to use the CPU for Raytraced 3D since I do not have an Nvidia card.
So, obviously there is an issue here in that it thinks I have an Nvidia card.
I know (or assume I know) the cause for this is that when I set up this machine, I used Apple's migration assistant to move most of my data over from the previous gen Mac Pro which DID have a CUDA card.
So my question is, what files can I delete/reset to cause After Effects to no longer look for CUDA files that do not exist on this machine?
I do not have the CUDA control panel in System Prefs, so THAT did not carry over.
Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!> I know (or assume I know) the cause for this is that when I set up this machine, I used Apple's migration assistant to move most of my data over from the previous gen Mac Pro which DID have a CUDA card.
Ugh. That causes so many problems.
The first thing to try is deleting the CUDA frameworks from your Mac: Look in /Library/Frameworks for the CUDA.Framework and get rid of it. -
Can we have multiple Podcasts with the same Mac Account?
Hi all,
Can we have multiple Podcasts with the same Mac Account?
For example, I have a single .MAC account and create a website with multiple Podcast pages...or within iWeb I create multiple sites, and each has a podcast.
Is there a problem?

Only after releasing the tr you can create a new tr on the same object.

How can I make text substitutions learn the correct capitalization of an acronym?
I love the text substitutions function in the Mac OS, and the auto grammar and spelling corrections are usually really useful, but there is one particular instance that is driving me insane. In my job, I end up using the acronym "TAs" (for "teaching assistants") all the time. Mac constantly autocorrects this to "Tas." I have tried adding "tas" to text substitutions in the settings and telling it to substitute "TAs," but it just autocorrects my substitution to "Tas." I have tried telling the OS to learn the spelling "TAs," but that hasn't worked either. I don't want to turn off capitalization correction altogether because I usually find it useful. Is there a way to fix this one word? The only workaround I have found is that it doesn't correct me when I pluralize with an apostrophe (as in "TA's"), but I am really not a fan of that.
I am running Mavericks 10.9.5, if that helps.Hi Laura_mac !
Does it depend on the application?
Using Yosemite I added
tas to Keyboard ====> Text
so that TAs becomes TAs
It worked via Safari 8.03
via Pages and Numbers (3.5.2)
It did not work in BBEdit
nor Firefox
nor Word
If you do a lot of text substitution I found the following app quite helpful. You can customize to a great degree.
