Using iWeb, links to external sites revert to the apple site.
I have been wrestling with this for 2 weeks. Even the apple help desk can not sort this out and I have tried all suggestions from the apple support communities so far. When I try to link my web site to LinkedIn, it reverts to apple.live web site. I am going out of my mind trying to fix this. Does anyone have the solution??
Tony
Delete the link and try the following:
Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home()/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Are they necessary to add? Why would one add these tags and how do I add H Tags to iweb? And are there examples to look at? I am slowly learning about simple web design and assumed that iweb was stand alone without having to write code. Is this one of the reasons iweb is no longer supported? Thanks for looking at this!
A simple text page like this:
Heading
sub heading
text paragraph ....
Is traditionally represented by html tags like:
<h1>Heading</h1>
<h2>sub heading</h2>
<p>text paragraph ... </p>
I would guess that the use of h1-h6 tags helps search engines to understand the structure of a page as the tags imply a certain structure.
This can be compared to more generic tags like <div> that could represent any kind of content - and may be what iWeb uses (you'll have to check yourself).
I would generally recommend that you use some kind of up to date blog/site building tool, perhaps Wordpress or Squarespace (I haven't used either one myself) that support current web technologies - this should reduce your SEO issues and make it easier to properly support mobile/tablet users. -
I am using both PSE 13 and Lightroom 5. When I use Lightroom as an external editor and save the photo, it shows up in PSE13 as an edited file but does not look any different. Why doesn't it appear edited?
People who have Photoshop, but don't have Lightroom, need ACR so that they can use Raw files. Without ACR they could do nothing with those (they may also like having ACR so that they can work on other kinds of image using the same kinds of adjustments and techniques, as are used with Raw files).
People who have Lightroom, can get access to Raw files regardless whether ACR is present or not. They can use Lightroom on other kinds of image also, using the same methods. LR can pass images directly into Photoshop without passing via ACR (or else does so transparently, which amounts to substantially the same thing).
ACR does not, strictly speaking, even need to be installed for this external editing to happen. In fact, not even PS needs to be - since a different image editor can be used instead, while still retaining the Adobe Raw conversion etc.
Lightroom "subcontracts out" specialised external tasks, in this workflow, but is still your "main contractor": the image is otherwise located, viewed, managed, adjusted/presented and output entirely using LR.
So IMO we can divide image processing into:
operations that involve pixels and layers and layer masks and adjustment layers etc (of the kind done inside Photoshop)
operations that involve parametric edits (of the kind done in ACR where you are not using a Lightroom based workflow; otherwise, done inside Lightroom)
When PS is called in, that's because those tasks are impossible or unsuitable to do in Lightroom. But those tasks can't be done in ACR either - by definition, since LR and ACR have exactly the same image processing "feature set".
Lightroom is irrelevant to the Bridge + ACR + PS workflow. This workflow requires both your PS and your ACR to be current enough, to support your Raw format etc.
ACR and Bridge are irrelevant to the LR + (image editor) workflow. It is in this case, only LR which needs to be current enough to support your Raw format etc.

My homepage reverts to the apple store every time I restart my macbook
Every time I start my MacBook it reverts to the Apple Store as the home page. I can keep my chosen homepage so long as I don't switch off my computer.
What is happening is your new homepage isn't being stored in the Safari Preferences file on the boot drive
However it is being stored in memory (RAM) thus as long as you keep the computer on and the contents of RAM are there as long as the power is on, your homepage remains.
So to solve this problem require you to delete the hidden
com.apple.safari.plist
file in a hidden Users/Library folder and then quiting and restarting Safari. The .plist file will be recreated void of preferences and corruption and you enter your new preference choices.
Follow the instructions at this link

My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.
Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1) When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2) I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3) So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself. -

Sorry... But... The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information from the seller
Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.
There is No Workaroud for Activation Lock. -
I am getting a lot of static when using Brookstone wireless headphones and watching movies on the Apple TV. I know it is not headphones, because they work fine when I switch it to cable TV, then the sound is clear with no static. Any suggestions? Which wireless headphones work best with the apple TV?
Ok so I've been doing more testing. It's all videos on the iTunes store. Anytime I try to download a podcast or stream it or anything it's super slow. To download an episode of Diggnation it tells me over 2 hours to download but the time keeps climbing and I just stop the transfer.
Some people said it's an Open DNS thing? Maybe it is but it's not computer specific and I couldn't find a way to change the DNS settings in my Airport, only on each computer. I tried deleting PLists and restoring my Apple TV and restoring my Airport and nothing is working.
I don't know if it an issue with me, my ISP or Apple. Anyone else experiencing this problem? -
my apple tv devices and other apple devices can access my library but using my library, i cant access any of the apple tv devices through airplay
Home sharing isn't working either
Which is why you can not use the remote app. Did you turn on home sharing on your computer and on ATV?
eve though they have the same Apple ID.
Did you enter the ApplieID in the home sharing login though? Or just in for the iTunes store, or iCloud, or photo sharing, or something else?
Home sharing isn't working either, I can't play or transmit any video from my iPad to the Apple TV because it doesn't recognize it
That would be AirPlay, not homesharing. THey are not related. Did you enable air play on all the devices?
Have you run the network test tools on ATV? Can ATV access the iTunes store, Netflix, etc? -

Redirect iWeb Pages To External Sites?
I have a persona domain that I have linked to my .mac account. I have a previous blog that I am trying to substitute on my site instead of having to create a whole new one using the iWeb blog feature. How do I do this?
Currently, I have tried to change my CNAME records at my Domain control panel. I use blogger.com so I entered in a new CNAME record that would direct to the correct destination field.
All I want to happen is to have on my navigation bar where it says blog to redirect to myname.blogger.com. I can not figure out how to do this. Maybe I am just making it too complicated.I was struggling with this same problem for a few hours tonight and finally got it figured out.
1. Create a blank page in iWeb and set it to be included in the navigation bar.
2. After publishing your site, find the file iWeb creates called "index.html" and open it with a text editor. (I like TextWrangler, but TextEdit should work as well.)
3. The file should be very short. Find the section that looks like this:
meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url= PageName.html" /
4. Replace the portion after "url=" with the full external URL you want the navigation bar link to point to. For example, your final line might look like this:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://myblog.blogspot.com" />
5. Select "Save as...", and use this file to replace the blank iWeb page you created for the Navbar. (If you made Blog.html, this will become your new "Blog.html" file. (Don't just save the file, or you'll screw up your index file. We're just using it as a template.)
For an example of this fix in action, here's my site where I did this exact same thing earlier this evening:
www.timelypersuasion.com
(click on the "blog" link in the navbar to see the external redirect)
Hope this helps.

Please HELP!! I just switched to Lion. I have created multiple websites using iWeb 3.0.4 and despite my having saved their 'domain' files in various locations and using different filenames, upon opening the domain files I keep getting the very last site I published. All the sites were published to third party servers. The domain files (still have a preview that look correct and have different file sizes) but keep going back to the last site published. HELP ME PLEASE!! Are the old files still available?!!
In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Track No. of times link to external site is clicked on a page
Question:
Our client strongly promotes another business on their site with a large button to click through to that business' url, which then opens in a new window. Is there any way in the reporting section of BC that our client can prove how many times visitors have clicked this link? i.e. a way that they can show how frequently referrals have come from them?
This kind of link click through tracking is obviously possible in eNewsletters - but what about on actual webpages?
Answer:
One way you could do it is by utilising the ad rotator module.
You can add the html to it then add the module code to your page and it will report on total impressions and click throughs to the link specified.
Then you can also have data on the conversion rate.
Another way would be to send your visitor to a page on your site that is redirected to the external site automatically. That way you can still track it.Hi Mario
Just found your post after posting a similar / related question (mine has to do with tracking click-throughs from within a secure zone)
Am interested in your statement
'Another way would be to send your visitor to a page on your site that is redirected to the external site automatically. That way you can still track it'
Could you explain exactly how to track using page-redirects?
Many thanks

Building Links to external sites
Newbie question:
When making a link to an external site, how do you keep your
own page on the desktop. The default mode loads the external page
but does not preserve your page.
Thank you.Make the link have a target of "_blank", e.g.,
<a href=''
http://www.example.com"
target="_blank">
and it will open in a new window. Note that the target
attribute is
deprecated, and its use will cause a page with a strict
doctype to fail
validation.
