Using VNC to update iWeb

I have created a site using iWeb on one machine and hosting that content on another. The hosting machine does not have a display so I'm using Chicken of the VNC for access. I don't know if its the VNC sw or iWeb or ??? but certain functions are not doable like: drawing a shape. I'm not trying to develop on this machine just make some simple changes and updates.
Am I using the wrong VNC or is this something that just won't work?

Updated machines to Leopard. Tried looking at Iweb through the screen sharing option that is built inot leopard. Same issue as the VNC. Moved the mouse around the iWeb workspace and noticed that my links, pics, content are all there but blacked out. It's like the screen sharing option (or VNC Option) do the same thing...they black out the content.

  • Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

    There is no license required for iWeb.  Just do a Wyodor suggested and you'll be ready to go. If you're running Lion however, consider the following:
    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.

  • IWeb with background account using VNC

    I tested this on a Intel Mac Mini and an iMac G5 with the client computer being 2 windows systems (one direct, another tunneling over ssh) and from the iMac down to the Mac Mini.
    The process is as follows:
    1) Create secondary account and enable fast user switching - log in as that user
    2) Load up OSXvnc and start a server as display 1 (port 5901)
    3) Switch back to main user
    4) On client machine connect to VNC server (display 1)
    Everything works fine except for iWeb. You can create a new site - selecting from the templates but you cannot see the page at all in the editing window. If you leave the secondary user as active on the console (not in the background) then iWeb works fine but not when you have it in the background.
    I've reproduced this on two systems and even recreated the user on one system as I thought it may have had something to do with it.
    Thoughts?
    Any way to share a desktop with another person while still using the primary and having them able to use iWeb (any other apps seem fine).

    It doesn't matter if it's primary verus secondary account - any account breaks iWeb if it's not the currently displayed one.
    Try this:
    - Created two users A and B and enable fast user switching
    - Log in as B
    - Start up OSXvnc as display 1
    - Open iWeb - works fine
    - fast switch out and log in as A
    - Using Chicken of the VNC connect to localhost display 1
    Once you done this you can use iWeb - you can create new pages. Now quit iWeb and reopen it. Now you won't be able to create a page - well you can you just can't see it.
    I realise this isn't likely a bug to get fixed as the number of users trying to do this has got to be low - just wondering if anyone found a way around this.
    There are a few windows applications that output directly to the console versus the current desktop (earily versions of NetBackup for instance). Looks like iWeb doesn't take well to being loaded when no on display .
    Now other applications through VNC work fine - iWeb is the only one I've found to not work. It's odd since I figure it'd be very similar to iPhoto, iTunes, iCal, Word, Mail, etc... Quicktime even renders properly through a VNC session. Can't imagine iWeb would do things differently but I guess it is.
    As for the port issue - that's not really an issue - if it was it would affect more than one application and I've done the following
    = iMac (client) -> Mac Mini (VNC Server) on display 1
    = iMac (client) -> iMac (VNC Server) on display 1 (from 0 to 1)
    = iMac (client) -> ssh tunnel to Mac Mini -> VNC through tunnel (like a local connection)
    = Above from from two windows PC's

  • Using the software update created problems

    Ok so I bought Leopard and upgraded from Tiger, then updated using the software update. Now I have a whole bunch of problems. My Apple Works is now missing, the program is just gone. All my Adobe programs now give me the error of Incompatible with current OS or some Your Licensing is not working error. I have a whole load of Adobe programs that should be working, like Contribute CS 3 and Photo Shop and Illustrator and Designer and so on. All of which worked under the 4.11 and the 5.1 OSes but now no longer work. This isn't even touching on the elimination of the Classic environment which i have a lot of programs that will cost way too much money to buy again for the new OS.
    Anybody know how to get back Apple Works and how to get the Adobe products running again?

    First set of problems, I had two software packaged programs go missing. Totally erased from the system. iWeb and Apple Works.
    This would not happen after a software update, unless the directory got damaged somehow*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/directoryfaq.html
    That would give the machine a difficult time trying to find files on the computer.
    Next set of problems my external firewire drive stopped being seen from the system.
    This most commonly happens if a Firewire hard drive does not have the proper firmware to be used with the operating system in question. This is one reason most people recommend dismounting and disconnecting all third party devices before applying updates. This used to be a more common problem with 10.3, but not out of the realm of experience of people with 10.5.
    The next most common cause is the clock battery dying, but not quite dead. Replacing it can fix that problem as well.
    I should say that my system consists of several computers networked together.
    I would have completely disconnected the computers before applying the update.
    I can take my external firewire back up time machine drives and connect them to a PC and see the data. But my macs do not even recognise them, they don't even show up when plugged in.
    This is further evidence the firmware on the hard drive was not yet updated for compatibility with the operating system.
    Third set of problems, all the apple install disks became unreadable by my system.
    This can be commonly caused by a dying optical drive, or bad permissions on the system, or a dying clock battery.
    Fourth set of problems, all the Adobe programs became un-useable and returned errors. Adobe has been working with me on this and have been far more helpful than Apple has been.
    That's a case of corrupt files, or files which were migrated from another system. Migration that is done improperly from a PowerPC to an Intel system may create issues with powerpc plugins on an Intel Mac. If your hard drive got over 85% full and/or the directory was damaged for any reason (especially forced reboots), that can also trigger such a reaction during an update.
    Fifth set of problems just recently discovered, all my stored movies, music and podcast in iTunes is gone.
    This is usually due to a directory issue, but can also be a dying hard drive issue.
    Sounds like you have multiple symptoms pointing towards a few common possible causes. Directory damage, and clock battery malfunctioning, and needing a better firmware on your Firewire hard drive case. Replacing the hard drive case with a compatible one is simple enough. http://www.macsales.com/ makes the right cases. I would not go with LaCie, Western Digital, or Seagate cases. Western Digital and Seagate internal hard drives are fine in of themselves. Replace the MyBook hard drive cases with http://www.macsales.com/ cases and same with the LaCies.
    I have Apple TV and EYE TV and a Midi interface box attached to my G5 mac. My G5 is the one that lost Apple Works and iWeb.
    Remove the Midi interface box. It may help things work better.
    My systems have the super drive on them and I have virtual PC and Softwindows installed.
    Softwindows barely works if at all under Classic, and VirtualPC only works with version 7.0.2 under Leopard. If you got an earlier version working under Leopard you were lucky. You really needed to migrate to a supported emulator under Leopard listed on my FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#WINTEL
    It says you didn't research your options well enough before upgrading to Leopard. This has been well documented in the forums before this.
    Booted up from the Norton disks and repaired disk.
    This is the biggest flaw in your plans, which caused ALL your problems. Norton is not compatible with any version of Mac OS X. It eats directories for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Only Alsoft Disk Warrior is safe and only after a data recovery attempt with Prosoft Data Rescue II, Subrosasoft Filesalvage, or Boomerang's Boomerang. We have constantly harped on the forums here that Norton is damaging to data. This has been known about since Mac OS X came out. It has even been called "Norton Kevorkian" by some.
    You can't blame Apple for this. Your lack of research and lack of asking in the right places at the right time led to your failures.

  • Can't update iWeb 1.0 to 1.1.1- Strange Error Message

    I'm updating iWeb 1.0 to 1.1.1 in order to remove the conflict PC visitors are having to my website: www.ifsongs.com. Those PC visitors get ActiveX control panel warnings everytime they try to listen to an mp3 on my Audio Sample page.
    So...I downloaded iWeb 1.1.1. and went through the steps to install. But I got this error warning:
    "You can not install the iWeb update on this volume. An elibible iWeb application was not found in the location /Applications/iWeb apps."
    The problem is.... on that hard drive volume I DO have the iWeb application 1.0 sitting right there in a iWeb folder within my Applications folder.
    So what gives? Why can't I update 1.0 (which I bought in the Apple Store and which I've used for over a year).
    I repaired the disk permissions before I tried to install.
    Thanks Panther

    Steve:
    It has to be in the Applications folder and not in a subfolder within that folder. Take it out of the iWeb folder and just put in the Applications folder. It will update then. Then you can continue the update to 1.1.2.
    Do you Twango?

    Anyone else having this issue? Worked great in snow leopard. Updated to 10.7.1

    Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

    It may sound odd, but try updating the Apple Remote Desktop Client on Panther. The VNC support the system uses seems to be tied to that, and that is something Software Update does not normally appear to update. I know I had to update the client to use Screen Sharing from Leopard to control Panther, and using Chicken of the VNC on the Panther machine I can control Leopard, or Tiger with CotVNC.
    The latest version of Apple Remote Desktop Client that supports Panther that I'm aware of is 3.2.2:

  • Apple, please keep and update iWeb!

    Please go to the iWeb feedback site and send Apple an email to keep and update iWeb!
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html
    Great, thanks!

    I really doubt if that will do much good but certainly give it a try. However:
    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.
    This may be of some interest to you: Life After MobileMe.  And as a replacement for iWeb give Flux 3 a try.  You can use it in demo mode for 30 days.  If you do decide to try it view the video tutorials at their site and the 3rd party videos at YouTube.  I found them to be very helpful.

  • Will apple update iweb anytime soon or ever?

    i know apple hasn't updated iWeb for a verylong time. I haven't seen any rumors on if apple will ever update it. Does anyone know if iWeb is over???

    iWeb was only ever created in the first place to go with MobileMe to support web publishing, so when they decided to get rid of MobileMe and replace it with iCloud, there was no need to keep iWeb any longer, which is why they withdrew support for it and stopped selling iLife.
    Perhaps it is time to start finding out a litte about html.  All you do is click on the html snippet and drag and drop it onto your iWeb page and then copy and paste code there and click on Apply.  If you want to make good websites these days, then you need to know some html.
    If you have iWeb, you can continue to use it for as long as it works with the Mac OS's.

  • How to use VNC with AirPort?

    Hi,
    I used to have an old iMac G3 DV at home, and I always used VNC to access it from my work computer. No problem.
    Now, I recently bought a brand new MacBook and a brand new AirPort Extreme base station, and I can't connect using VNC anymore. I tried every single configuration I could, using the AirPort Utility, but it was no use.
    I am not really an expert though, as this is my first time using wireless. So, please, anybody there, with greater experience about configuring AirPort for it to allow VNC connection, if you could please help me solve this problem, I would really appreciate it!
    I've been told that I should make the gateway IP redirect all VNC requests to my MacBook, but I have no idea of how to do that.
    I'm using Vine Server 2.1 at home (former OSXvnc) and VNC Dimension 0.7.1 at work, as the client. My MacBook is the only computer connected wirelessly to that AirPort station back home. At work, I use an older iMac G3 Indigo, with 384 MB RAM and Mac OS X (10.1.5).
    Any ideas? I'm sure it should be easy to do...
    MacBook 13" 1.83 GHz 512 MB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.9) AirPort Extreme 802.11n

    Hello Duane!
    Thanks for the quick response, and thanks for the PDF document you provided.
    I remember I tried out a lot of different configurations using port mapping under NAT, and none of them worked. But I believe the problem was precisely that my local IP address for my MacBook was not static, it was always changing between that range 10.0.1.201-10.0.1.255.
    So I will try setting up a static IP address and see if it works. Now, how do I do that? I can just go to somewhere in AirPort Utility and type in an address outside the default range (let's say, 10.0.1.300) and it will remain static? Where is the place I can change that?
    Sorry if I sound too much of a newbie, hehe! And thanks again for your help.
