Various iWeb Problems

I've done a good amount of reading on the forums and am still not able to determine a solution to the problems I am having. Here are the details.
I am trying to create a site to show off family photos, of which we have over 1000. I have things broke up by year and event and there is only a couple events with over 100 photos. I have all the photos in iPhoto broke down by events.
Using iPhoto I select the iWeb to photo page option and the page gets created in iWeb, there has never been a problem with this step.
After creating about four pages I usually select Save. This has varying results that breaks down like this.
1.Save actually works
2.Goes through the motion of saving but after selecting quit I get prompted to save again. Selecting save does nothing. Selecting do not save, expecting application to quit, does nothing.
3.The saving indicator never comes up.
Besides number one, the end result is I have to force quit iWeb and all my work is gone. Leaving it sit there for any length of time does not change the results.
If I am lucky enough to get a good save and want to publish to my .mac account, I can get a combination of these results.
1.It works
2.iWeb hangs at logging into .Mac account. Clicking Cancel does nothing. Usually ends in Force Quit.
3.After selecting publish nothing happens. No indicator that it is logging into my .mac account or anything. Selecting the File menu, most of the options are grayed out. It would appear that iWeb thinks it is doing something, but it is not. No amount of time helps the situation. Normally ends in a force quit or iWeb telling me if I quit I will lose all my work. See number two above.
4.iWeb reports it is uploading to .mac account but after things are done, nothing happens. I do not see the time indicator next to my site in the left hand page pane. Circle of force quit, not able to save, and losing work begins.
I have tried reinstalling iWeb and starting with a fresh domain file, both resulted in no change. Odd thing is, when I was demoing the .mac service I had no problems. Once I converted my account and starting using my personal domain things went crazy. I do not think that is the root cause of the problem, just more of an observation.
I did not use the previous version of iWeb so there are no conversion problems there. iWeb is updated to 2.0.1, the problems existed both before and after the update. Using the iPhoto web gallery produces the same problem in iWeb. Saving to a local folder appears to work 100% of the time but it could be I have not tested this option enough. I am using the darkroom template but have had problems with the other templates also.
So, any thoughts?
Also a question, other than removing the domain file, the iWeb application, and reinstalling the iWeb application, are the other files that have to be removed to get a clean install of iWeb?

I'm having pretty close to the same problems. However, I can't even save a project I am working on. Save, export, export to .Mac - none of these work. It just hangs and I get the spinning color wheel.
After trying to get it to work for the last couple days, I finally gave up. If someone has a great solution, I will give it a try. Otherwise, I will just delete iWeb from my system and keep using other programs that don't give me so much trouble.

What's the fix?
Tried reset, restart, reboot, reopen of apps same problem

What do you mean by reboot? Do you mean restore? Because if you haven't restored, then that's the next step. You'll need a computer with the latest version of iTunes and a USB connector.

Can anyone help me with an iWeb problem? I cannot save the site after making changes. I receive this error: "website.sites2 could not be saved"

Can anyone help me with an iWeb problem? I cannot save the site after making changes. I receive this error: "website.sites2 could not be saved"

You could try duplicating the Domain.sites2 file and launch this in iWeb. Delete the last page you edited and try saving. If that doesn't work, undo and try deleting another and so on...
If you can find the problem page you would only have to rebuild it rather than the whole site.
The other possibility is to create a new site on the same domain file and drag each page in turn down to it from the top site and try to save each time.

AOL and PC iWeb problems?

Why don't my iWeb pages appear in AOL? Is there a fix for this forthcoming from Apple?
I've seen posts here that complain about iWeb sites not displaying properly on PC's but all of my friends with PC's report no problem with my site. Are there certain circumstances or certain browsers that are specific to producing iWeb problems on a PC? (As in, is there anything I should avoid doing on my pages?)
Thanks...

Why don't my iWeb pages appear in AOL?
What are you seeing exactly? A url would really help in figuring out what you are talking about.
Is there a fix

I doubt it.

Error Publishing from iweb 09 - Server or iweb problems??

I upgraded from iweb 08 (I had no issues) to iweb 09, and I have publishing errors more than half the time. Are the mobileme servers having problems, or is there a hack in the iweb software?
This is a big problem because I have 20 Gb of pages with video that I need to re-publish. It is bad enough that I will be tying my network up for 2 weeks, but that I often don't make progress.
The message is "Error connecting to mobileme, check network.. .." The problem is that it uploads for an hour or so before it stops.. I am double checking to see if my routing is causing the problem, but I don't think so..
Is Apple working on this? Are there numerous people who are now stuck re-publishing their sites and the servers are getting beat up? Does anyone know how to diagnose this type of problem?

Finally i solved the issue of Publishing Error in iWeb 09 with MobileMe.
Procedure which i followed and might also help you guys.
Lets say your default site name is XYZ then create a new site e.g. ABC.
Thereafter dragged all pages from default site XYZ to new site ABC ONE BY ONE.
*In the preference folder delete any PLIST files related to iWeb (i had two files in my folder).*
*Once you drag all pages from your default site to new site there after just make a new blank page and publish the site.*
Then start dragging first one page from new site ABC and publish one page. There after repeat all pages one by one and publish after every page you drag from new site ABC to default site XYZ.
Once you finish then take a backup in time machine of the domain.
There after start your blog page then publish again then start photos album page, publish again then your movie page, publish again etc because these are the pages which were mostly creating errors.
After you complete the final page and publish remove the blank page and publish again.
I spent 3 days with the same problem and finally i could finish by this method in few hours.

My iWeb problem stumped the Genius Bar

Hello all , first post , apologies in advance for its length .
I got a problem thats really frustrating me . The Genius man in the apple shop couldn't help , he'd never seen this problem before so he suggested I try here . Here's the thing .
I've made a site for my photography with my own domain name www.davestrachan.com . Galleries up , blogging away to myself , everything was working fine for months . Until .... one day I added some more blog entries , saved but didn't upload them and switched off the mac . I opened up iWeb the next day and half the pages are either blank or show only the grey background , not just the new pages but older ones also . The welcome page & about me , all the galleries and several of the blog posts are gone .
I'm pretty new to this so I only know the basics , thats why I use iWeb because it's easy . I've tried uploading to a folder on the desktop and get an unknown Publish error . I tried deleting the iWeb preference file & even transferring the Domain.sites2 to another mac to see if it works , sadly no joy there .
Don't shout at me but I only recently learned how to back up iWeb .... yup you guessed it ... after the disaster so that options out . It's also happened a couple of times before to one or two pages in the blog but Iv'e just shrugged and redone them . This time it's obviously more serious .
I guess I'm probably going to have to bite the bullet and redo it all again , learn from my mistakes & back up lots in future , but does anyone know what's going on and how to fix it ?
Thanks .
Dave .

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Paragraph 2.3 of iWeb FAQ site has some tips on how to use some of the files from the published site in rebuilding: http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebBackupretrieve.html. There have been a couple of posts of similar experiences, closing iWeb and when reopened the pages were empty or partially empty. I don't remember any fix-all for that. The problem sounds a lot like a problem with iPhoto, the library is good but when after shutting down and rebooting the next day it's appears empty. Fortunately there's a way to protect against that. But not with iWeb.

Hang on restart and various other problems

Hi everyone,
I hope someone can shed some light on what's going on with my MacBook Pro. Since having purchased it in August 2006 (my previous Powerbook was stolen!) i've had the experienced the following issues:
1. The computer almost always hangs on restarts (not shutdowns). The restart does not seem to complete the final stage and a dim light remains at the front. In addition, i can hear the hard drive spinning
2. Sometimes when starting the machine (usually after hard shutdowns thanks to the first point) the computer does not boot up. Instead, it returns to a similar state as above: dim light, spinning hard drive, but no screen, no startup chime and i believe the CD drive doesn't spin up either.
3. The Above problem is only resolved by leaving the machine to rest for about 10 minutes. I have tried removing the battery, disconnecting and reconnecting the AC supply, resetting the PMU, holding down the reset PRAM buttons, but nothing works aside from leaving the machine for a while. Please note that this is not an overheating issue.. it happens when the machine is running relatively cool also.
4. Lately my MacBook Pro has begun to shutdown instead of hibernating when the battery runs low. I don't realise until i plug in the remains and press the power button when the keyboard wake doesn't do anything.
5. Over the last few weeks i've noticed the battery life deteriorating rapidly. Yesterday it gave me 15 minutes following a full charge!! I decided to put the battery in a fridge for a while and it seems to have helped, but something is seriously wrong here.
6. Having installed the Core Duo temperature monitor last night i noticed that the processor was running at 82 degrees centigrade at one point. While that may be normal, since that time it has generally run at between 50 and 60 degrees. I'll be keeping my eye on this one.
7. Previously i had trouble with the computer freezing, leaving me unable to move the cursor. Surprisingly, i was always able to escape from this by pressing the power button once. the cursor would then move again and i would cancel the shutdown. This problem seems to have fixed itself by resetting the PRAM a while ago.
8. Lastly, and probably unrelated to the above, the CD drive sometimes sounds as though it is rubbing against a casing while spinning and the noise can be a bit distracting. Also, i have noticed that if i move the machine while burning CDs the burn will fail. I don't put a great deal of pressure on the area around the CD drive and it seems a bit sensitive to me.
Other info:
I have reinstalled the OS twice and the problems are still there.
I have reset the PMU and PRAM more times than i can remember.
The laptop has receied no blows or other damage and the problems have existed since purchase
I Installed Bootcamp at purchase (needed Windows for some accountancy software) and thought that the problems might be related to this, bit have since removed it various times and finally decided to remove it permanently recently. I reformatted the whole drive, did a fresh install reset the PMU and PRAM (again!) and downloaded all updates from apple. The problems remain. :S
Help! I absolutely love my macs... i just wish this one would work right!
Thanks in advance for your observations/advice.

Any idea what piece of hardware might be at fault?
No… although these types of issues are usually logic board related when it is determined to be hardware.
Am i right in thinking this?
Yes, you can take it into any Apple Store/Service Centre in the US, and worldwide, and have it repaired.

Iweb problem - auto creation of subfolders when uploading website

when i originally uploaded my website the uploads went straight to the url <stgeorges.co.uk>. (done via ftp, don't use mobile me)
now when i am updating the site, iweb seems to be automatically creating a subfolder to put updates in <stgeorges.co.uk/st_george> whilst retaining the original out of date pages.
i've had a look through the forums and found one post that seems to imply that this is a symptom rather than a fault of iweb (ie a fault that can't be corrected!)
can anyone tell me a way to correct or bypass this problem?
insofar as i'm aware i haven't modified the iweb page in anyway that it would start to do this. it seems iweb i thinking "oh, let me help" when that is not what i want. i have of course modified the index/home page now and i thought it may be separating owing to a duplicate file, when all i want it to do is replace the original!!!
any help would be most appreciated!!!!

iWeb creates and publishes an index.html and a folder containing the website files. This is what is uploaded to MobileMe using webdav or to a server using FTP.
To remove the extra sub directory you need to publish to a local folder and upload the contents of the folder only, rather than the folder itself, using an FTP application.
This may seem tiresome and unnecessary but, most people who are publishing to a "real" server and purchasing a domain name, probably want their site to be found by search engines and to download faster than the average iWeb built website is capable of.
Adding SEO tags and optimizing files for faster download requires publishing to a local folder anyway....

IWeb Problems after updating to Mac OS X 10.6.3

"iWeb quit unexpectedly while using the SFWordProcessing plugin"
- This message comes up every time I try to click on the homepage or "welcome" section. I had a similar problem with 10.6.2 but that was quickly solved by removing the Hoefler text. I have also tried removing the p.list and iweb domain file but nothing has been successful yet.
Any help would be appreciated.

IWeb: problem with comments

On my iWeb page I have comments allowed on my blog. Yet no one can post comments. If I publish a new article with the comments allowed, iWeb comes back with an error server message.
Mac OS X 10.5.4
iWeb 2.0.4

I'm having the same problem with blog Comments (iWeb 2.0.4). Clicking on "Add a Comment" gets this message; "We're sorry. We are having a problem processing your request." I get the same message in my business site photo gallery where you can leave a comment about a photo.

IPad 2 won't get past apple logo and various other problems...

I knew I shouldn't have updated to iOS 8, my iPad was getting increasingly slower with each software update since I bought it a few years ago.
A few weeks ago the first problem arose - the home button suddenly became unresponsive. Initially it would work on about 1 in 10 clicks, but then nothing at all. I managed to get to settings to turn on accessibility features and the gestures to replace the home button so that wasn't much of problem, just annoying. I tried various things online that people claimed fixed this issue but nothing happened.
Then about a week ago it suddenly wouldn't wake up in the morning. I tried turning it on and it would get to the apple logo and stay there for a couple of minutes then go black again. I plugged it into iTunes and restored it etc hoping something would happen but of course nothing did.
And I obviously can't reset it on the device itself due to the home button being completely dead.
I left it for a few days then today I came back to it and tried to plug it into iTunes again and now iTunes won't recognise that it's plugged into my macbook at all.
Basically does anyone have any advice or should I just accept that it's dead at this stage and give up? Let me down gently!

Iweb problem.

Hi,
I'm having a frustrating problem with iweb, I don't have a .mac account so I've been uploading my site to my own .com address, the problem is, it just...doesn't work very well, the only way I can seem to do it is by deleting absolutely every single file off my .com address (supplied through hostmonster.com with their hosting package) and then reupload EVERY single part of the site, I have only tested this once and it worked, but if I decide to make any improvements, such as, adding a movie to my movie page, it won't update, initially I thought I was putting stuff in the wrong folder but nope, the files are in there, they just aren't...I dunno, being read correctly? as I say, the only way to do it for me seems to be deleting everything off the server and then reuploading the entire site every time I make a minor update, even something as silly as a blog update, I could be wrong but there MUST be a way around this I'm sure, can anybody please tell me the solution? it's really frustrating.

Not at all, I've used many FTP programs and this one appears to function just the same, however - I'm new to the world of mac and haven't got a clue really as to what I need to be uploading, I'll give an example....in my website folder I currently have the folders Blog, Media, Scripts, Movie_files, and individual files titled feed.xml, Movie.html and index.html, (there is also another index file generated outside of my website folder by iweb, not sure why that's created but I simply upload the site folder and that index file to my site, as per the instructions mentioned on the link you provided) ...but, let's say I decided to update the Movie part of my website in iweb, after doing so, one would assume that I have to upload the new media files, perhaps reupload the movie.html as it's probably changed, the movie_files folder would need updating too as it will have a new .jpg for the picture loaded for the movie preview picture, and that should really be it, right?....apparently wrong, I tried doing exactly what I mentioned and while the files are uploaded, the website for some reason doesn't appear to recognize anything different at all, the only way is to reupload the entire website every time I make even the slightest of changes, perhaps I'm uploading the wrong files when I do it but I can't think of what else needs uploading..

Iweb problems

I just got my mac a couple of months ago to edit on FCE. I just discovered iweb last week. It's easy to use but I am unsure of the program. I created 1 page with a video embedded in it. It looks great on my mac but not on my PC. The text has a gray box around it until the video is fully loaded. Also once I play the video, if I scroll up or down the video box gets all distorted and tries to stay in the middle of the screen. Are these common problems or is it just my PC. Also is their a way to view the source code in iweb?
here is the site www.studentlifetelevision.com

Also is their a way to view the source code in
iweb?
You can only view the source code after iWeb has published a site. Then you can view it with any Browser via View > View Source, aimed at whatever pagename.html file you want to see. You can also modify the code with a text editor directly on your server or on your drive before uploading (but any changes are erased if you republish from iWeb).

Windows 8.1 - various Skype problems

My first post, I can't find a solution for these problems, hopefully someone can help.
I've been helping a friend with her Windows 8.1 PC and various issues she has had with it.
The one area that seems to be a persistent issue is using Skype.
The issues is that when she receives a call there are sometimes one, sometimes two Answer / Answer with Video / Decline sets of buttons. When clinking Answer the ringing tone continues although she can then be talking to the caller. Even when the visible Skype has been closed the ringing continues - though there's then a Skype icon in the System Tray which can't be closed, or anything else done with it. The only way to stop the ringing is to go to Administration / Services and Stop the Skype process - not ideal.
There are other Skype issues seemingly related to two Skypes running. She's often said to me that it always looks as if there are two Skypes running.
Although the Skype integration with her Hotmail has been removed, and her Skype account disconnected both from her Hotmail & Facebook accounts, the problem persists.
The PC is set up so that that old style desktop is in use virtually all of the time. Skype 6.21 is installed on that desktop. There is no Skype visible on the Widows 8.1 Start screen nor in the Apps list there. At one time Skype 'modern' was installed but that was uninstalled. The only Skype in Control Panel/Programs is Skype 6.21. I seem to recall reading that Win 8 'Modern' Apps don't appear in that list. In which case where is V.3.1 (see later) coming from?
I ran Belarc Advisor on it and it shows 3 Skype entries in the Software Versions & Usage section:
Skype - Skype Version 3.1.1005
Skype Technologies - Skype Updater Service Version 6.8
Skype Technologies - Skype Version 6.21
So Belarc is reporting 2 Skypes (I've ignored the Updater as that is presumably associated with 6.21). I've no idea where V.3.1 is, what its effect is or might be, I can see no reason - apart from historical - for it to be showing.
Is Belarc mis-reporting V.3.1?
Is there a remnant of V.3.1 that's causing the problem?
I've installed Revo Uninstaller but it only shows V.6.21.
How can I completely dispose of V.3.1?
Whether or not this is the problem I don't know, but clearly I have to deal with the problems that I can see and eliminate everything possible.
Any thoughts on how to progress?
Many thanks for taking the time to read this far, I realise I probably haven't written a very clear post but hopefully there's enough sense in to give the picture and, hopefully, help someone to point me in the right direction to resolve the issue.

Please try these steps:
Reducing simultaneous connections for incorrectly configured servers
https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Using#Reducing_simultaneous_connections_for_incorrectly_configured_servers
Make sure that you close connection as soon as you are done with them, as some ftp clients will generally leave their connection open unless told otherwise. Additionally, some clients such as Filezilla will allow multiple connections for any new activity,
which uses up connections quickly. While this does make for faster transfers.
I use mostly Cute FTP and I have been sometimes doing it to just close ftp software (Alt+F4) and not closing connection; but the point is that when you have been connected then you must close connection properly as well.
