Unknown publishing error in iWeb

what does "content" refer to in the below sentence???
"content on a specific webpage or in the master domain file of your website may be preventing a successful publish"

Kelly ~ Welcome to the discussions. "Content" in that context probably means images, text, videos or other files. Presumably you are quoting from this Apple doc:
_MobileMe: Troubleshooting iWeb publishing issues_
...In your iWeb site, do you have an unusually large file or one in an unusual format?

Unknown publishing error

I am publishing to a folder so that I can publish to a server that is not memobile. Everything has been working fine until one day I was publishing updates to my folder and all I get now is unknown publishing error. I deleted the page that it was stalling out on and still get the error. I took out the updates and still get the error. Any ideas here. I NEED to get this working right again.

Quit iWeb.
Delete the iWeb preference file - Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist.
Restart your Mac.
Run Disk Utility to repair permissions.
Launch iWeb and try publishing again.
Don't forget to reset your iWeb preferences.
If all this doesn't help, you may have a corrupt domain file.

Quirky Version of "Unknown" Publish Error

I hadn't published any blog entries since upgrading to iWeb '09. Tried to do so, got that lovely "unknown" error (every time of countless attempts). Followed suggestions set out in previous threads (delete .plist, run permissions, update using Combo, restart, run permissions, create new site, etc.). I was able to move everything (with the aid of "Duplicate", huzzah) to the new site and get that published. Save for the blog, which is remaining adamant as regards moving (I even deleted the newest entry and still no go).
As much as I loathe adding to the "unknown publish error" furor, I'm feeling a bit confused.
I would be grateful for suggestions....

Copy-and-paste, laborious but works.
Slainte,

Publishing Errors in IWeb 1.1.1

I recently installed iWeb for the first time. I published my first site with little or no problems, a few days later I decided to add pages. Everytime I tried to publish to .mac I got an Unknown Publishing error. I have trawled the forums and this problem seemed to be an issue for 1.1 with the fix to update to 1.1.1. As I am already on 1.1.1 I am unsure what else I can do. I even deleted the saved site on my Powerbook and tried to publish a single blank page (to discount fonts, images etc.) that too gave me the same error. I have logged a support call with Apple but as yet have not received a response...........any suggestions?

Well, there's not really an answer to your problem. So many people here have described some kind of error or another it's hard to narrow things down to one cause. But there are a couple of things that you can try. See if any of these steps helps you out...
1. Delete the iWeb preferences file called "com.apple.iWeb.plist" inside the .../Users/Library/Preferences/... folder.
2. Delete the iLife Media Browser preferences file called "com.apple.iLifeMediaBrowser.plist" inside the .../Library/Preferences/... folder.
3. Delete the iWeb application. Reinstall from the original iLife'06 DVD or your recovery disks. Update directly to iWeb 1.1.1 using Software Update.
4. Repair your disk permissions using Disk Utility
5. Restart your computer and try to publish before launching any other applications.
6. Try a different internet connection.
Definitely backup your Domain file before doing anything drastic. This one file contains all the info iWeb needs to know about your websites so that you can continue to edit them in iWeb. So don't lose this file!

"Unknown Publisher" error message during installation

Ok, I have tried for several days and even got ahold of Microsoft on this issue. Every time i go to download Itunes the download is ok, but when it goes to install Itunes, I ALWAYS get "Unknown Publisher" error message and installation is cancelled. How do i resolve this issue? Any ideas?????

Welcome to AD!
Some folks have had success by downloading and installing QuickTime standalone, then installing itunes after QT. iTunes needs QT codecs to play audio & video.

Make sure to get the version withOUT itunes.

Things I've tried so far: using Mozilla instead of IE. Emptying Temp folder. Downloading QT separtately. Numerous restarts. Help me please!!!

You've been doing the sensible things with your troubleshooting, lee.
How are you connecting to the internet?
For example, my Lenovo T61 is connecting wirelessly to a LinkSys WRT54G wireless router that is plugged into a Motorola SB5100 Surfboard cable modem.
What sort of setup do you have?

Stilllllll....... publish error from iWeb

i still getting publish error from iWeb.
Is apple fix this problem yet or they just ignoring it or dont know how to fix the problem?
anyways this is the error msg im getting everytime i click publish "An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites/iWeb/"
i read almost all the discussions here about error on publishing to iWeb and it seems everyone have the same problem and no one can fix it.
hit me back if they fix the problem already.

iWeb '08 publishes to the < Sites > folder.
iWeb '06 publishes to the < iWeb > folder.
If you are using iWeb '08 you have the wrong file path.

IWeb unknown publishing errors

anytime I try to publish, or publish all, or click the publish button, it churns for a moment, then gives me a unknown error.
I've sat at a genius bar, sat on tech help, and done all I knew how: deleting preferences and caches.
The genius said I should reinstall my applications with the CD included with my computer. I no longer have the CD, (I have a MacBook), and the woman on tech support said it would be $120 to replace it, but the things I needed were online.
Despite my best efforts, I just can't find what I need, and I need a working version of iWeb.
Help me. Please.

can you publish to a folder successfully?
Have you looked at the tips on Apnewbie's Publishing Errors Help Page.?
What is your internet set up like? (Satellite, wireless to DSL, etc.)
Are you getting an error message? If so, what is it?
Does the error happen while the blue progress bar is up and it says "Creating page xxx"

Publish error on iweb 3.0.1

I am having trouble publishing to my mobileme domain. I keep getting the +publish error, unknown error+ message. I recently upgraded to snow leopard. Anyone know what is causing the problem. I've deleted my domain and created it twice already.

Welcome to the discussions. This Apple doc mentions that error:

Unknown publish error?

Hi everyone
I've spent the last 12 hours trying to update my podcast but everytime I try to publish from iWeb 1.1.2 I get this:
*Publish error*
*An unknown error occured*
Also when I try to access the podcast page in firefox I get the page not found error, although I can open it via safari
Any idea what's going on? - I need to publish this podcast now as it's a competition which ends this week...

I had exactly the same problem but managed to resolve it. This is what I did:-
1. Go to to 'Go' menu in Finder and click 'Go to Folder'
2. Copy and past the following into the box: ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
3. Drag the Domain file into the trash.
4. Restart iWeb and publish to .mac
The only problem is that this deletes the old site info. For me this didn't matter as I only used the site for holidays photos, but it is obviously more of a problem if you have a more substantual site.

Internet download - unknown publisher error message

Hi
I am having problems when I download from the internet, I get a windows error message saying unknown publisher, also my internet pages show error on page, some of the page is missing or it is full of rubbish. This has only been happening for the last few days, but it is appears on every download, I have tried to restore but it only goes back 5 days.
Help, this is really frustrating.
Thanks
Chris

thanks for your response but I cannot download Firefox, I have reduced my security settings, disabled the antivirus and I am still getting the same message
I don't know what to do now other than through the thing out of the window, nearly every internet page has an error message now, or it just does not download properly, I have even tried saving the files to my desktop and running as the administrater but I am still getting the same message as before and then the programme just closes, I don't even get the option to download anyway.
does anyone no what should be ticked or unticked on my security settings??????????????????????????????????????

PUBLISH ERROR in iWeb

Hello. I just started using iWeb '08 2.0.2 a couple of weeks ago, and all was going well until...
Now whenever I publish, I get an error message "Publish Error, an error occurred while publishing file ... Try publishing again later."
Here's what I've done, based on advice in this message board:
1) Tried again later. Error still happens.
2) Publish All to .Mac. It took a long time, but still the same result in the end.
3) Publish to a folder. I tried the entire site in the local folder, and it works fine. Then I manually copied the folders to the iDisk folder. (That copy was painfully slow, several hours!)
Once copied to the iDisk, the website does not work properly. Specifically, the photo albums no longer appear on the photo pages. Viewing the page source of the photo pages when browsing on line, I see that all the java code is missing, whereas it is still there when I browse the version on my local disk from the "Folder" publish.
Anyway, the website is now a bit crippled, and I can't really invest more time in it since the program is so buggy. Can anyone help?
Many thanks.

I've discovered something weird that I wonder if it has anything to do with not being able to publish. Since I upgraded to iLife 08 when I click "visit site" I get a web page that says the site doesn't exist. Yet when I go to my bookmark that I have for my site it shows up. The addresses are different. The address that iWeb is trying to go to is http://web.mac.com/username/site/page.html. My actual site address is: http://web.mac.com/username/iWeb/site/page.html.
Is iWeb somehow confused? I did at one time copy off iWeb and delete the site of my iDisk and tried to publish all, but that didn't work, so I copied the site back to my iDisk.

How can I solve this publishing error in iWeb?

Suddenly, when I try to publish in iWeb, I get the following error message:
Publish error:
Can't create the file "site/home.html." The disk may be damaged or full, or you must not have sufficient access privileges
Well, I have a Mac Pro tower, loaded with plenty of space and my disk definitely isn't damaged. Go Daddy (my host) first told me it might be a firewall problem and to contact my internet provider, which I did. But they told me there were no outgoing firewalls. So I went back to go Daddy, who reset all my permissions, but I still got the same iWeb message listed above when I tried to publish. Go Daddy was able upload my files at their end as a test, which means the problem is right here with my iWeb.
Anyone have any ideas?

ITunes "unknown publisher" error

I tried to update iTunes to v8 via Apple Software Update but it failed due to some error with the updater. I uninstalled Apple Software Updater and also iTunes 7.1. I tried then to install iTunes 7.1 so I can re-download Apple Software Updater and I'm getting an error saying "unknown publisher" and even if I try in install iTunes 8 nothing at all is happening.
Any ideas?

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Constantly getting publishing errors in iWeb

Has any one else experienced publishing errors when trying to publish to your ,mac account?

Four things could be going on, but it's fixable.
first.. make sure that your screen saver, and energy saver are turned off in your system preferences. iWeb had trouble with this in it's first version, but since the update it's supposed to be fixed, but I'd still do it.
second, it's been my experience that iweb is affected by bandwidth issues while uploading. If you're using your browser, uploading or downloading anything else... you'll get the error message and that one file couldn't upload. Make sure that when you click on the publish button you walk away from the computer and don't use it. This appears to be a bigger problem for us G4 users than the G5 folks. Also, it's a memory hog, so seriously, when you publish turn everything else off except your computer and iWeb and walk away. Seems to work for me.
Third... make sure your idisk is NOT loaded onto your desktop. If it starts refreshing and files are getting put there while you're uploading, iWeb will give you the dreaded error message.
Finally, just keep republishing. iWeb seems to bog down when you publish sometimes. I re-uploaded my entire website last night, including 7 video podcasts and numerous other blogs that have audio and video in them. I had to publish and publish and publish.... it took four tries, but it finally finished. It seems that it gets farther and farther along each time. Anyway... it works.
Hope this helps.
Jim
