Why can't Apple make 'publish changes only' for non .mac users?

The recent iWeb update to 1.1 and the now increasingly obvious differential between .mac and non .mac features has prompted me to post here today.
I can understand comments, passwords and search facilities being a .mac only experience because it requires server side technology. I can also understand that .mac users get enhanced features like slideshows as well.
But why is the fundamentally *basic* option to 'publish the changes only' not available to non .mac users?
I know uploading to .mac uses a different protocol to uploading via FTP, but I don't think it is about that. Obviously the software engine in iWeb 1.1 can now track the pages that have changed, and flag those for uploading. So if the facility to do this is not available with non .mac uploading, is this some form of crippleware? Can any software engineers comment on this or am I talking off the top of my head? [And please mods, don't delete this post - I use the word 'crippleware' in its harshest form, clearly I can still use iWeb to make fantastic websites - I am asking a technical question here.]

OK, from reading this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=486335&tstart=0
There is a pattern: An error occurred while publishing file “/blah/blah", while file "/blah/blah" seems to be random from one person to the next, but they all share one thing and that is communication protocol.
For iWeb to be able to publish changes to .Mac, it has to:
1. identify if the file exists
2. do the following:
2a. if not exists, copy it to .Mac
2b. if exist, do some sort comparison - CRC checksum -
2b1. if checksums match, don't copy
2b2. if checksums don't match copy it to .Mac
At least I think that's what going on, I don't have .Mac so that is best I can think of. Perhaps, some Apple SW engineers can jump in here.
Now, the bad part is iWeb has to (and I'm assuming iWeb uses WebDAV):
1. go thru each file locally
2. crawl its way into .Mac (WebDAV is a slow protocol) to find the the counter part.
3. when it finds a file that matches a client side file, it has to (some how) do checksum on-the-fly across the net work (which is slow and congested)
#3 is I think where it failed, there are many factors here: 1) networks congestion 2) latency 3) protocol overhead 4) checksum calculation time etc...
iWeb eventually times out because any/all of the above.
It's nice that WebDAV can author to the host yada, yada, but it's so SLOOOOOW.
What I would do is for every publishing, I would build a files and their checksums keep it on the host (or local, must be hidden).
For subsequence publishing, I would (use a fast protocol like FTP) download this pre-built files/checksums list. Locally, do a full publishing, making checksum comparison, the result is delta changes; upload only those. Build a new files/checksums list upload that too.
What I mean to say is offload everything that is possible to local machine, bandwidth is PREMIUM!

Why do i constantly get cut off on calls. I've had this problem with my 3GS, my 4S and now my iPhone 5. When the core functionality is Phone, i.e. the ability to talk, why can't Apple make the iPhone function as a Phone? is there an App for that !!

Well, since you've had the same problem, with three different phones, that all use different size sim cards, it seems pretty obvious the problem is with your carrier/coverage & nothing to do with your phone or sim card.

Why can't apple make there mins up and support ios6 siri to 4th generation ipod touch

Really all the tilte says all. Is there any any chance apple will release a siri app for older ipod.

To answer the question in your title;

They have made up their minds. It isn't available for older iPod Touch models.

Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users?

Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users?

You can burn a plain CD/DVD by just dragging the photos there; but, that may or may not be playable by everyone. To be sure that the result would be playable in any computer or CD/DVD player, it would be better to use either one of the apps already on your system - such as iPhoto. I don't use that myself - I use other third party software - but take a look at iPhoto help. And, you could make it more interesting by creating a slideshow - also in iPhoto, or iMovie. To give it the final cool touch, bring it into iDVD to give it a polished look if you'd like. You can burn it then from any of the above.
If you happen to have Toast (an excellent burning app), you could use that as well (that is my preferred way to work). In Toast, you have multiple choices: burn a data CD/DVD for Mac only, for Mac & PC, etc, burn a picture CD, video DVD, etc, etc.

Why Can't I make FaceTime cellular calls on my Mac anymore?

For some reason I can no longer make FaceTime audio calls on my Mac. I receive the following error on my Mac : "IPhone Calls Not Available. Your iPhone must use the same iCloud and FaceTime account."
Of course my iPhone does use the same iCloud and FaceTime account as I have set up on the Mac. I've tried logging out and logging back in. Unchecking and rechecking all of the contact boxes. Nothing.
Please advise

Disregard,
I had to turn off FaceTime on my iPhone, then turn it back on and change the caller ID from my e-mail address to my phone number. This brought up an option on the computer asking if I wanted to use the phone number with FaceTime. That solved the problem.
Crazy.

Why can't Apple make all ipads brightness to be settable to the dimmest just like in ibooks ?

I don't understand why a brillant number one company in the world - apple cannot make all it's generation of ipads to be more dimmer than the current lowest brightness setting level , to be just like the lowest brightness settable in ibooks ? Do they know that some ipad users around the world like me can find it to be too bright for my eyes , in fact it's hurting and painful just to look at ipad for a mere few minutes even when it's at the dimmest . I hope the ios engineers will listen to users like me and make it happen .

The brightness on the iPad over all CAN be manually set. And I find it hard to believe the dimmest setting is too bright. At that setting the screen is barely visible. Perhaps you should give the user guide a read:

Why can't I make a change to my template?

I have a template with editable regions and non-editable. The footer is no-editable but I can't make a change to it. I have the telephone number listed twice in the footer and want to remove one of them but can't do it. I get the circle with a line through it when I try to modify it. Nor can I make the change on the pages made from the template. What to do? http://mountainartistsguild.org

The code taht you have shown is not the template, it is a document that has been created from a template and renamed with a dwt extension.
If you load the document into DW then go to menu item Modify->Templates->Detach from Template and save the file, you will have your original template called index.dwt and located in the Templates subdirectory.

Cannot make a video connection with non-mac users (AIM Triton)

Whenever me and my girlfriend try to start a video chat, we get error messages on both ends. i know everything is up to date because i can chat fine with other mac users, but whenever i try to chat with someone who is using AIM Triton i cna never make a connection, even though iChat says i should be able to.
Which side dost the problem lie?
Answerer gets a cookie, haha, i've literally tried enough to get this fixed

Hi
iChat does it's video streaming through Quicktime (I believe), it's why one way to solve a connection problem is to try this:
System Preferences>Quicktime>Streaming - set streaming speed to 1.5Mbps
Also make sure Bandwidth limit is set to None in iChat>Preferences>Video.
Restart iChat after making the changes.
It's a good idea, if you can, to post an error log (down as far as where the binary images start) & give as much info as you can as to your connection to the internet (make & model of modem/router etc).

Read Only for Non Trusted Users

Hi everyone:
Is it possible to forbid non trusted (or non certified) users for modifying the pdf (I'm interested in signing protection particularly) but allowing them to open the pdf in READ ONLY mode?
I'm wondering how to do it using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 (info with Adobe Acrobat Pro X will be also appreciated) and opening the pdfs in their Reader corresponding versions (managing non trusted users as READ ONLY users).
Thanks for your time
Regards,
Javier

Thanks Bill:
I've been trying what you said, and is possible to "lock" the pdf so it's in read only mode via password (using Adobe Acrobat X). Is it possible to do the same with certificates? As far as I have seen, if you use certificates policies, you use the certificate to encrypt the document but then, non certified users are not allowed to access the pdf. I'm really interested in using certification restrictions but being able to access the pdf: I want to simulate the READ ONLY MODE for everybody and the WRITE mode for certified users.
Using this kind of restrictions, the only problem that I see (for end users) is that they should disable secure settings before editing / signing (this two options appear disabled with this method). Is it possible to get them available and open the "enter password" dialog when clicking them, not managing the security properties?
Thanks for your time
Regards

Publishing iCal calendars for non iCal users?

Firstly I guess I should set out the ideal solution I want to acheive.
I am looking for a way to publish calendars from iCal to my hosting server which will be viewable by PC/non iCal users via a web browser. I'd have to do it via ftp as my servers do not currently support WebDav.
Currently I have managed to publish the calendars which are viewable via a browser which appear as a list of code rather than as a calendar.
Is there a way to do this using iCal or, dare I mention, another calendar/organiser software package?

Hello Julian,
Thanks for this. Excellent solution and pretty straight forward to set up. Wish I'd had this years ago.
Cheers again
Anthony

Why can't Apple make adding an appointment as easy in iCal as Microsoft can with Outlook?

I've used Outlook for as long as it has been out. This spring, I cut the cord from the PC, and went all Apple. I am using google apps for business and using Mail and iCal. I run my life in these two apps, yet for all the hundreds of new features, the interface for iCal is still prone to errors. Setting up a simple appintment, choosing who to invite, and including a few details still feels like I'm coding HTML as opposed to doing these same activities in Outlook. Why are the calendar and email not more integrated? Why? I don't believe that I am alone in this. If Outlook/Google on the Mac were to work with each other I would SOOOOO be there and ready to abandon the 2 crappiest apps on my mac: Mail and iCal.

Well, since you've had the same problem, with three different phones, that all use different size sim cards, it seems pretty obvious the problem is with your carrier/coverage & nothing to do with your phone or sim card.

Why can't I swap my PC serial for a Mac one?

Hi,
Hoping this is the correct place to ask this question.
My company purchased Creative Suite 3 and 2 x copies of Photoshop CS3 a few years ago - they have been in use until recently.
We have since upgraded to Mac's for design purposes; I de-activated my copy of Photoshop before swapping over, only to find that my serial was not compatible with Mac.
When I asked if I could just swap serial numbers, the Live Chat assistant told me off for not installing my Mac version with the original media (well I had a PC DVD so I couldn't).
Would anybody be able to tell me what I can do without buying another copy? This isn't really an option. Many people do not even pay for it once, I don't want to have to pay for it twice!
Thanks!

You won't get much sympathy from all of us who pay for the software we use.
What did you hope to gain from posting in these user-to-user forums where you're not addressing Adobe?

Can anyone recommend a good instruction book for intermediate Mac users?

I have been using Mac for 3 years now so am not a total beginner, but still need help in many areas of OS X use. These forums are brilliant and thanks to the willing help from more expert members I have learnt a lot ( thank you), however there are times when just having a book open in front of you is the easiest way to get to grips with something. Can anyone recommend a good user manual for people like me who don't need a real beginners guide but also don't want a mind numbing, in depth, advanced text. I already have Maria Langers Visual Quickstart Guide which is useful but is exactly what it says, a quick start, and David Pogues Missing Manual which I find a little frustrating as he seems to fall short of explaining exactly how to do something after he says it can be done!
I guess what I am really after is a clearly written book that is good for beginners and more advanced users alike, with screen shots to show you what you should be doing.
Grateful for any suggestions.

Hi again,
Many thanks for the feedback and the star!
For troubleshooting, Dr Smoke's Troubleshooting Mac OS X eBook is invaluable. Again, I have the Panther edition. I haven't, yet, felt the need for the Tiger edition with so many of the tips available free via his FAQs.
The only drawback, of course, is that when one is in a fix and possibly unable to boot up, the e-book isn't accessible unless one has a copy on another Mac.
Have fun,
Adrian

Why can't Apple offer a financing plan that actually works?

Heres my story: I'm a film student at the College of Santa Fe in New Mexico, and I wanted to get an iMac G5 to do my video/audio editing on. I applied for Apples Credit Account only to be denied because I don't have a credit history, although I have made every monthly payment on a loan for a truck i've had since 2001. I'm sorry but I am completely ****** off that Apple can't use some sort of financing other than a credit card. Why would I want to spend money that isn't mine and that I haven't made yet? Ontop of that, the interest rates are just outrageous and completely unnecessary. However, I do have a job at the college, where I'm making about 150-200 every two weeks. Why can't Apple have a payment plan for their computers? I could make a $400 down payment, and then make payments every two weeks, but I can't because Apple doesn't offer anything like that. Just how in the **** am I supposed to get the system I need when the company that makes them won't offer me an affordable way to purchase their products. I think this is complete ********, and Apple needs to straighten their **** out. Anyone else feel the same way?

I believe the problem you are having is caused by Juniper Bank, Apple's current credit lender. They used to use MBNA and I would get approved immediately online. Last time I applied online at Apple, I got rejected and it said they had to do more checking. BTW...I have PERFECT credit. Well, about a MONTH later I get a credit card in the mail from Juniper with a $5,000.00 credit limit. Go figure. It was to late though. I went and bought one through Amazon.com and even got a $200.00 rebate. I would go apply there once or check at a bank or Apple reseller locally. Good luck!

Why can't Apple make 'publish changes only' for non .mac users?
