Unable to publish iWeb pages to .Mac

I have been using iWeb (version 1.1.2) quite happily for past two weeks and have successfully published to .Mac/Mobile Me. But today I have been having loads of trouble and have been unable to publish anything, although I can publish to a folder, which is of no use.
When I try to publish I get the following types of messages:
Publish error
An error occurred while publishing file "/Web/Sites/iWeb/Site 5/Welcomefiles/navbaractive.png".
or
Publish error
An error occurred while publishing file "navbar_active.png." Try choosing >Publish all
Can anyone suggest a solution. This is driving me mad.

Let's not mince our words: the version of iWeb we are using is ****** and there is no help available anywhere on the Apple website. Check out my various posts on this topic. I am going to save my work to disks and will not renew my iDisk account in a couple of weeks.

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?

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

New computer, how can I sync my old published iWeb page with new compuer?

I had my old macbook stolen a year ago in Italy. I created and published an iWeb page to .mac on that computer. My problem is that I cannot figure out how I can sync my old page on .mac to my new computer so that I can continue to use it and upload pics. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hello,
and welcome the Apple iWeb Discussion Forum.
Basically you can't figure it out because there is no way to get published pages back into iWeb. iWeb lacks of any html import feature. The only thing you can do is rebuild it by copying and pasting content from the published one to the rebuilt in iWeb. However for photopages that isn't a good idea, it's better to rebuild them from scratch (iPhoto).
Be sure to make a backup of the domain.sites2 file (where iWeb stores) its files from time to time

Anyone know how to publish iWeb site to .mac groups?

Hi all
This is my first message here... So... Be patient plz
I'm afraid that I know the answer, but I hope that someone can tell me(us) more...
Is it true that it is NOT possible to publish a site from iWeb to a .mac group?
Why this feature is missing???
I've heard that this was present in iWeb 07. Is it true?
Anyone knows if it will be available in a future patch??
sigh, I've just buyed a .mac accounts to publish project for private groups... :(((
Thanks to all for support. Excuse me for my bad English
Mayran

It's Sad.
Groups are, in my opinion, the best feature of .mac account.
Project, club, private site of people... great things.
It's why I have payed for this account.
But if you can't use the integration of mac to build up information
it's very useless and to me it doesn't appear too professional
from apple to cut off this feature.
My fault, I haven't seen this particular information.
Anyway thanks for the information
I hope apple will reintegrate this feature

What system version and iWeb version are you using? Can we safely assume your publishing you site to MMe since you've posted in the MMe discussion? What happens when you try to publish? What do you see?

Problems publishing iWeb page to my website

Hello, I'm having a heck of a time trying to get my iWeb page published to the free host server I chose. I have a subdomain name and account at atspace.com and no matter what I do, the darn webpage will not work. I'm a complete newbie to webpage publishing although I have decent knowledge of computers. I went through the entire process of making my page on iWeb, then published it to a folder on my computer, and then have been trying to upload the page to the site using cyberduck, and yet every single time I try to upload any file from the web page, cyberduck connects, but then says the following: ftp error cannot create folder, /About _files About: Permission denied. I've followed all of the steps I'm supposed to from help sites on the web about how to publish an iWeb page to a free host server and it even is connecting to my server, but when I try to upload the actual pages, it won't work. I even downloaded WebEcho as well, and same thing, WebEcho says it worked and that everything is great, and yet I visit the site and nothing works. If I go to my website address it just comes up blank and says that safari can not find the server. I am at my wits end and am becoming incredibly upset with the whole thing. I don't know if iWeb is not working, or the server is not working. I have an account with the server though, I registered the subdomain name, and when I test the connection, it works, but when I type the website address in my browser, it doesn't work. If someone could help me figure this out, I would be very happy and appreciative. Thanks in advance.

To summarize: you use Cyberduck to upload the files to the server.
If that's the case it's not an iWeb issue. Its role ends when the pages are published to the folder on your desktop.
If Cyberduck cannot create folders on the server then you have to find out what the problem is. Either on the server or with Cyberduck.
On basic question is : do you publish to the correct folder on the server? It's usually named public_html, html-docs. Check with your webhost.
+*Not sure what you mean by is it published to the correct folder on the server. I published the page onto my computer, it's in the sites folder on my hard drive. iWeb says it's uploaded or whatever and would I like to visit the site. So I click yes and it takes me to this website: file:///Users/ryanfick/Desktop/Ryan%20Fick/About%20.html This is not the server or the subdomain name I registered so I'm not sure what this is. It works though and I can navigate around the website, but when I go to the website I have a subdomain name at, it doesn't find it. Plus, I have no idea what public_html or html-docs means or is, you would need to explain that to me for me to know what or how to find it or use it.*+
BTW, why not use iWeb to do the publishing. Enter the details in the FTP setup. But check the details with your host first. If Cyberduck cannot publish the pages, then iWeb cannot either.
+*I have already tried to use iWeb to publish the site as I mentioned above, but nothing is working. Thanks for the quick response, but I'm almost completely lost on almost everything you asked or talked about. I'm a newbie to webpages and ftp and such. I have no idea on most of the questions and comments. I do have a few questions. Do I need to manually go to atspace.com and upload all the files individually? There are like a thousand files under the main files. And second, I've been trying to use Easy iWeb to publish it and it is asking me to input a folder to input on to the website that your iWebsite will be published to. I have no idea what this means or what it wants. It says to leave blank if you want to publish it to the top level of your website. So I left it blank and clicked on check configuration and it says configuration OK. So then I go back to the main page and click on publish to web and it says Ready, uploading, then failed to upload file: About .html at /Users/ Does this help at all? What do I need to do, what is going wrong? I feel like I am in bizarrO world right now where right is wrong and wrong is right and nothing works. Thanks*+

Unable to Update iWeb page

I'm using iWeb '08. I have a couple pages, plus a podcast. After making changes on Sun, June 29 I have not been able to update. There isn't an error code, or reason from the program. It just says "unable to update .mac." Any ideas??

Hi,
you may want to have a look at this list here of things to try if one experiences publishing issues
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebTroubleshoot1.html
Also there may be a problem with a change you made just before experiencing the problem.
You could try to temporarily deleting the changes and see whether this solves the problem or not. Be sure to make a backup of the Domain file before

Burning a published iWeb page to a cd-rom

I have created a webpage on iweb. It has been published into a folder on my macbook.
I need assistance on how to burn it to a cd-rom to where it will automatically start the webpage when the disk is inserted into the drive.
(purpose of disk/page for assistance). I've created this webpage as a marketing tool. I want to be able to give it to potential clients without them having to go through files to start the page up. It also has documents on the page in pdf format which they can print out if they wish. I don't want the disks back, so if possible, make it a read-only disk also... so they're not able to mess with the files.

Burning files and folders to a cd/dvd is very simple.
Choose new burn folder from file menu and add the files and folders.
http://www.google.com/search?q=mac+burn+disk
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh2154.html
Use cd-r/dvd-r disks to burn read-only disks.
Practice with a cd-rw/dvd-rw disk to use the disk again.
Files do not open automatically on a Mac. And on Windows the init file is used. Search for it to learn how to do that.
Your clients can mess with the files, by dragging them to the desktop.
And don't expect perfect results. Webpages are meant to be served thru a server, not opened on the desktop. So don't cry if your precious website looks horrible or doesn't work properly. It's not iWeb's fault.
Put the site on a server and send a link to your clients.
Show them you're a pro and not an amateur who learned to press a button.

IWeb pages on .mac - snail pace and movies won't load

As a novice, I gave iWeb a try using my .mac account. Two problems: 1) even with a broadband connection, the pages load very slowly on a fast pc using firefox (on Safari, it is very fast) - only pictures (lowered resolution). 2) every time I try to publish a movie (e.g. share to web from iDVD, the movie comes up as a large 'Q' for quicktime, but doesn't play.
Can anyone help???
Thanks. Ganschman
20" iMac G5 2.1 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I have sent an iMovie file to iWeb, reducing its size to about 10MB (from 3.2 GB) and then added it to an iWeb movie web template. Works in iWeb, but when I upload my web pages with the movie, it doesn't work in Safari, Firefox or IE. Thought it would be seamless as iWeb is part of the iLife package.
Again, the web pages load fast on my mac using safari (each pic is like 300 kb), but when I use my pc, it takes ages, even with a DSL broadband connection, and dial up, each page takes hours to load. I find that a bit unusual. Is 300kb (orig photo is 8 mpxl (about 4mb) still too big for web publishing.
Will a website work faster with a commericial web tool like dreamweaver, which I have, but haven't had time to figure it out?
Thanks for the tips.

Publishing error - unable to publish iWeb 08 site

After re-making my 30 page site using iWeb 08 due to it destroying my iWeb 07 Domain file - I have tried repeatedly to publish the new site without success. Usually I wait 1.5 hrs while the progress bar goes slowly around, then I invariably get a message saying there ways an "error connecting to the server or network error". It takes 1.5 hrs to tell me this?
However I clearly am connected to the .Mac server because I get the message earlier on stating that "publishing will continue in the background". Somehow the .Mac server doesn't accept the Domain file. I have published the Domain to a folder on my desktop and the site works fine on the browser when I launch it using the index html file.
I have sent several iWeb feedback messages concerning this problem so hopefully the boffins will fix it. I have no intention of renewing my .Mac subscription if the Domain file can't actually be published.
If anyone out there is experiencing the same problem please let me know.

It's hit or miss with me. My web site is about 30 pages, and about every 4th or 5th time I publish, I get either a "Publish Error. An unknown error occurred." or something about a locked file, try again later. It usually is fixed by choosing to Publish All to .Mac and enduring the 30 minutes or so it takes to process. This last time, however, it got done with the upload (about 100MB) and looked fine. Next time I tried to update one page: bang.
I'm publishing a blog so the situation can only get worse as pages accumulate.
There is clearly something wrong and clearly somebody is grasping at straws trying to fix it. Until the engineers at Apple figure out what the problem is and releases a definitive patch, I think we're out of luck.

Publishing iWeb site to .Mac

Have just spent several days preparing the pages for what should be, my lovely website. As it is now complete, I am trying to publish it by clicking on "Publish All to .Mac" as it said on mac.com. Every time I try to publish I get the rolling "logging in to .Mac" bar at the top and a window asking me to either log on to .mac or to Join Now. I already have a .Mac account but if you click on Sign In, it just closes the window and the rolling bar down. I tried again and just left it running for over an hour but it did nothing. I have tried resetting my KeyChain Access and did a "Reset my Keychain". I also did a Keychain First Aid and it did a couple of repairs and is now fine. Tried publishing again, but up came the rolling "Logging in to .Mac" bar and the wretched "Sign In" window and that's as far as it goes. HELP !

I have exactly the same problem. I renewed my account and it has stopped working. Now it says "your account will renewed in 0 days". It says "logging in to .mac" even though I'm already logged in, I can use my iDisk, send and receive mails, etc! I run a blog with a friend, and people are starting to demand more stuff, and I can't upload anything!!! Please, I beg you, help me out!

Add iWeb pages to .mac main page

Hi all,
I've just created two new pages with iWeb; I've put a photo with a link in my .mac main homepage and it works fine; however, I don't know how to add those two pages at the top of the main homepage menu where all the names of my .mac pages appear one next to the other.
Is there a way to add the page title with its link?
Thanks,
Antonio

You probably need to make a new page in homepage and then edit its html so it is just the code to redirect to your iWeb.

Publishing iweb pages with other domain host?

Hi...
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to host the page I created in iweb with another domain host?
Thanks

Under the File menu in iWeb there is a option called "Publish to Folder"
That folder will contain all the HTML files, etc necessary to create your webpage.
You will then upload (FTP) the contents of that folder to your host.
There are several FTP programs available including Yummy, CyberDuck, etc... are you familiar with FTP'ing?

Publishing iWeb site to .Mac personal domain

I set up Personal Domain on .Mac & added the cname on my account with Network Solutions & are waiting for the changes to take effect now. But I have 2 sites in iWeb. How do I get the right site on the personal domain.

Hi again,
My Problem is that it is not clear how to redirect mlwhall.com --> www.mlwhall.com
Since CNAME is for aliases, I am not sure how to point mlwhall.com since that is the root name. The A (host) will only take an IP address, so I assume that if I am going to do this I need to do it in the CNAME section (pinging did not get me a useable IP address). I cannot believe I am the only person that wants to do this -- setting up domain forwarding does not seem to work either
Is it not common for people to want to have www.blah.com and blah.com to resolve to the same place?
----Martin----
And yes -- I meant to say that I made a CNAME alias for www that points to web.mac.com as pointed out in the personal domain instructions.
