Unpublish iWeb site in iDisk

Hi
I can see a number of old threads here regarding removing a site through iDisk and I have folowed these but still have a folder remaining (with content) that I cannot remove.
I have navivated to the iWeb/Sites folder but whenever I try to deleye the folder named _gallery I get a message saying I do not have the permissions to access some of the items
Can anyone help me to work my way round this please
Thanks
Patrick

Ha
Thanks for the responses - I think I have it now.
It was not iPhoto - but Aperture, where I had previously published some photo galleries. I had already removed the galleries in Aperture but for some reason one of them still remained in the MobileMe gallery. I was able to delete this in MobileMe directly and the files in iDisk have now gone.
Thanks for your help

Restoring old iweb site from idisk

THrough sheer ignorance, I created a "new Site" in iweb, not realizing it would replace my exiting website, which is far more important. I want to restore my old site. I am able to access the old site through idisk, but have no idea how to relink it so that it reappears as my website. (Someone suggested opening the index.html in plain text editor and correcting the URL, but I have no idea how to do that. Tried opening it in "text Edit" and no URL is there)
Appreciate any help!!!! This is killing me!

TextEdit is what is says - it is an html editor so that you use it to edit html code, so not url will show up as it does in Safari etc. Safari is a browser and TextEdit does what it says on the tin - edits html code.
The easiest way is to go back into iWeb and open your domain file with the site on it and re-publish all of that site and it will be back at the top again. That is assuming that you have the relevant domain fiel and have not deleted it?
If you publish another site in iWeb, assuming that they have different names, they will not cancel each other out, but what will happen is that the second published site will be at the top, so all you need do is re-publish your original site from iWeb and it will be back at the top again.
You can always get to all your iWeb sites via the url http://web.me.com/username/sitename so Site1, Site2 etc.

Restoring iweb site from idisk

My hard drive from a Mac with OS 10.4.11 recently died a painful death and was unrecoverable. My files were unfortunately not backed up as they should have been (lesson learned). I have a new Mac and am trying to be able to access my iweb site without having to start over again. All of the files are accessible via idisk, but is there a way to restore them so that I can actually make edits in iweb?
thanks!

How to unpublish my iweb site

Hi,
What do I need to do to unpublish my iWeb site? Should I just delete the files from my iWeb program?
Thanks for your help.

If you have published your website, then yes, of course it will still exist, whether you delete from iWeb or not.
You need to go and delete your site from where you published it - so if you published to MobileMe, then you need to log into MobileMe and go and delete your site from your iDisk.
If you published to a server/host, then you need to download Cyberduck and connect with your host so that you can actually see what files are on your server and use Cyberduck to delete these.
Also, never delete anything from iWeb that you want to alter or keep without backing up. If you ever need it again, you will end up re-building it.

My iWeb site can no longer be found by browsers

I have had an iWeb site which has been live for about a month. It has been working perfectly. I have updated several times without any issue. It still appears to be working well within iWeb. I can make changes and publish changes.
I have my own domain name hosted on mobileme
When I now search the internet using any browser, it says
Can't open the page http://www.dhsem.com.au/ because the server where this page is located isn't responding.
I have checked my .mac account and everything seems to be fully functional. Why has my site suddenly disappeared off the internet?
I have tried removing the com.apple.iWeb.plist file from Library/Preferences, rebooting the computer, republishing the entire site, all to no avail.
The site is still sitting in iDisk/Web/Sites.
Everything looks normal from the iWeb side of things. For some reason, no browser can find the server (The IP address of the server is: 118.215.20.59)
Would appreciate any help

You don't need to get your domain name registrar to do this - you should easily be able to do it yourself.
Firstly, ensure that your domain name is entered into the Personal Domain name setting of your MobileMe account.
Go to your domain name registrar and then set up CNAME forwarding if they provide this and forward your domain name to web.me.com - this is all you need do - you don't need to fiddle with nameservers or anything else like that.
If they don't provide CNAME forwarding then you can use web forwarding instead.

How do I upload iWeb-site without using 'Flie Publish' feature?

Due to corporate firewall restrictions I cannot use iDisk, Sync or iWeb to connect to .mac, which presented a problem when I wanted to Publish my iWeb site.
I have uploaded the site [via webdav, with Transmit] to the Sites folder of my iDisk, but I can't find my site when I enter my .mac URL into my browser (http://web.mac.com/myusername or http://homepage.mac.com/myusername).
Theoretically, is this the right way to upload to iDisk without using iWeb? Is there anything else I need to do to link my URL to the files in iDisk/Sites?
Thanks in advance, Lee.

Ok, my member name is leepaulvickers.
I've tried
http://web.mac.com/leepaulvickers
http://web.mac.com/leepaulvickers/iweb
http://web.mac.com/leepaulvickers/leepaulvickers
http://homepage.mac.com/leepaulvickers
but just get the 'we can't find the HomePage you've requested' 404 error.
BTW I've used Transmit to upload to my iDisk in the past, such as files and photos with no problems. I assumed there would be no trouble with iWeb's files...

Merge iweb sites from multiple user accounts on same computer

With the previous iweb version, my children created their own iweb sites on their own users, but all under my own .mac account. It worked great.
But now with the new "upgraded" iweb '08, that isn't allowed anymore.
So, I created a new user on our computer for all of us to use to maintain our multiple iweb accounts on.
How can I move multiple iweb sites from multiple users on the same computer into one user?

Each of the user's work in iWeb will be contained in a single file, Domain.sites2, which can be found in this location on the hard drive for each user account. You will need to copy all of these Domain.sites2 files to an external drive, or, at the very least, burn them to a disk to make them transferable from one user account to another. A flash drive also works great for this.
Once you have made all of these Domain files accessible from the new user account that you created, you will still have a formidable task ahead of you, i.e., publishing separate sites, from separate Domain.sites2 files, to the same .Mac account/directory. In other words, bringing all of these Domain files together for access by a single user account will not solve the problem. You may very well be able to solve the problem with things the way they are, but it will involve some shuffling of Site's files on the iDisk prior to publishing.
The method I'm going to give you has worked well for me. So far, here in the forums, I've read posts from (2) other users who were also successful. Conversely, I know of at least (3) other users who have been unsuccessful with this approach. I sure hope it works for you.
Open System Preferences and go to .Mac. Turn syncing off, if it is on, and leave it off.
Now, in Finder, navigate to the current Site files on your iDisk, following this path:
Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/NameOfSiteFolder
Drag the Site folder that is named for your site, (not the directory Site folder), back one level on the iDisk, into the Web folder. This is where some run into difficulties--you may get an error message that the folder is "in use, and cannot be moved". I have never gotten this message, and am able to move my Site's folders around with no problem on the iDisk.
If you are successful moving the folder, choose one of your other accounts on your machine, launch iWeb, and Publish all to .Mac. The existing site on the server will not be deleted. Now, go back to the iDisk and move that site folder, (the one you just published), back one level, again, to the root Web directory. Publish your next site, from your next account.
When you are finished publishing sites, just move the Site folders back to their original location on the iDisk--Web/Sites/SiteFoldersHere. All sites will be accessible from a browser using the web.mac.com/username/nameofsite url.
It is important to use the Publish all to .Mac command in iWeb. A simple Publish to .Mac command will not put the correct index.html file in place on the server.
Post back and inform us of your success.

How do I move my iweb site to another account?

I have built my wife a web site on my computer on my .mac account using iweb. But I want to move it over to my wife's .mac account on her computer. Essentially to have it live on her computer and not mine. How do I do this? HELP!
Thanks a million.

All the information for iWeb is stored under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb and then it is the domain.sites file that you want.
If you want to manage your site on another computer, then you need to copy this file. Make sure that you don't delete this file. If you do, you have lost your website and will have to re-build as iWeb cannot import anything from your published site on iDisk.
Copy this file over and then as Mireille said, you can create another user account on your wife's machine if you need to under System Preferences Accounts.
If it is your wife's machine however, then you won't need another account. All you do is place the copy of the domain.sites file in the same place on her computer i.e. User/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Then all you need to do is log into her .Mac account on her computer. Just go to System Preferences and .Mac and enter her .Mac account details and it will be logged into her account. When you then publish, it will publish to her .Mac account on her computer.

I have been exporting lightroom webgaleries to my iweb site without any problem. Suddenly I get the error message "finder can't complete the operation because some data can't be read or written" - error code -36 - thoughts?

Try this community: MobileMe on my Mac: MobileMe: Apple Support Communities.
And you can continue to use iWeb for some time to come. The following will explain:
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.

Domain sites on idisk

I consider myself an apple addict. Love Apple.
For the last year I have known that apple was moving from the .mac to icloud. I thought our data/mail would be moved from idisk to icloud. I know, silly me. Now, I can't access my files, photos and domain files for the many websites I have made the last decade. This move is like me telling my husband that I am going shopping next June without letting him know I am going to wipe out his bank account at the same time.
Please give me suggestions on how I can access my iweb domain files and idisk files to save to another location.
In the future I will not put so much trust in Apple. Am pretty sure that if I put all of my files in the iCloud, that one day soon it too will just disappear for the next great thing. Anyone heard of the word MIGRATION? AND to think.....I paid good money for a service I did not receive.
Thanks in advance for your guidance and support. I really appreciate all of the experts out there who take the time to address our questions and attempt to relieve our frustrations.

If you migrated your MobileMe account and have Lion, your Mail, Contacts and Calendars would be migrated. You signature says you have 10.5.2 - is this correct? You cannot do anything with iCloud on Leopard except access your email, for which you will need to set Mail up manually:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
As announced in various emails and notices on the site, the iDisk was not transferred to iCloud, which does not provide an equivalent service, and it is now closed and the contents deleted. You had over a year's warning to download your files - but you have not been charged for MobileMe since your last renewal date: it was extended for free until the closure.
Any files which were on your iDisk and not also on your computer are irretrievably lost, I'm afraid. However your sites should still be visibile in iWeb as long as you have not lost the Domain file which lives in (user)/Library/Application Support/iWeb. iWeb should open that automatically. (The Domain file was never stored on the iDisk unless you put it there yourself, and downloading your site's pages wouldn't do you any good because iWeb cannot open html pages.)
You will need to find another hosting service - there are plenty to choose from - and you can publish your iWeb site to that, using the FTP option in the Publish pane on iWeb '09 and above, or with earlier versions you will need to publish to a local folder and upload that using an FTP program such as Cyberduck.

Hard drive reformatted. Need to delete iweb site. No backups available

Hard drive was reformatted and the iweb site material obviously lost. I would like to delete all the iweb pages i have posted using 'mobile me' as they do not show anything. Is this possible. I though it would be possible to delete the pages using 'mobile me' online.

Mount your iDisk and use the Finder to navigate the folder structure.
Delete the contents of the "Web" (no quotes) folder and all of your previously published pages will disappear.
Redo your pages in iWeb and Publish again to make new pages.

Rebuilding Photo Pages from Lost iWeb Site

I mistakenly deleted my backed up iWeb domain file after doing a fresh install of OSX. I know there is no way to import the published HTML files into iWeb, so I am in the process of making a copy of my website manually. I am looking for a way to rebuild my photo pages that doesn't require me to look at the published site, identify which photo is on the site, find it in iPhoto, and drag it to my new iWeb site. Instead, what I'd like to do is grab the photo files from iDisk for each photo page, and then drop them into my new iWeb site. However, I can't seem to find on my iDisk where the actual photo files are stored. I suspect I am looking in the wrong place. The files in the iDisk/Web/Sites/Site Name/My Albums/Pages/Album Name/Media/Photo Name are too small and low quality. When I click the download link from the published site, it's the full size file. Where is this stored?

How to upload and publish a non iweb site to mobile me

How do I upload a website I made from a flash template to my mobile me server, I had a iweb website published there, now I want to use my same domain name and publish the new flash site I created to the mobile me server and disable the iweb site.

Just log into your MobileMe account and go to your iDisk and delete the iWeb site that is there.
You can load your other site there by simply dropping and dragging your files for your new site to the Sites folder on your iDisk. Alternatively, MobileMe uses webdav so you can use Cyberduck to publish too.

Photos on iWeb site

Is it possible to save your iDisk space by putting photos on your .Mac iWeb site from another website you are with. Maybe thats not very clear.... I have a 'pro' flickr account that I bought before I got my .Mac account as a gift. Is it possible to build my .Mac website from the photo's I have already on my Flickr account to save loading them to my iDisk and therefore saving space?
It's just I plan to put a lot of photos on my site and don't want it to eat up all my space. I realise, I could just continue with my photos on Flickr, but I really like the format of the .Mac sites better and plan on selling some of my prints through the site.
Any help would be great,
David

I may have read too much into your plans.
I'm not, by any means, an expert with Flickr so bear with me.
IF the files in Flickr are accessible with "http" commands, it's real easy to add a hyperlink in your iWeb site to bring the viewer to Flickr. The minor difficulty is that you want only SOME viewers to reach Flickr. IF Flickr access can be PW-protected, it's a slam-dunk.
If not, it might be a little klutzy. You'll need to create a second iWeb site that's PW-protected. The hyperlink in your main iWeb site brings the viewer to the PW-protected iWeb site and, for those that can access it, another hyperlink will take them to Flickr.

Adding files to iWeb site using .mac

Hi
Apologies if this has been answered before but I would like to achieve the following:
I have an iWeb site published to a .mac account. I would like to add links to other files such as m3u or qtl playlists and host the mp3/mov files somewhere else in my .mac account. I have read a little about using the idisk feature to achieve this. What's the best way of proceeding?

which means you have to put any file or folder linked to in this way inside iDisk>Web>Sites??
That's correct.
Presumably that means when you publish any updates out of iWeb it leaves these files/folders alone and only updates what it needs to?
You can create folders as you like.
Just make sure you do not add a Site in iWeb with the same name as your folder. iWeb will overwrite that folder. Try it.
And do not add an index.html file of your own in the root of the Server. I have a custom index.html file. So any time I publish a Site in iWeb (by mistake) I have to make sure I replace the index.html file by iWeb with the file of my own.
But I do a lot of things I'm not supposed to do.
