Why can't OS 10.5.6 create a usable Mac Projector doc

My colleague and I both have the same setup (below) except he works with OS 10.4 and I work with OS 10.5 (both with latest versions of repective OS). Here's the problem:
OS 10.5.6 user---When I create a Mac Projector with via Publish it has a greyed icon with a greyed warning (not useable). When double clicking on it I get a message ' You can't open the application "name" because it is not supported on this architecture.' Also when playing a swf doc (non-Projector) made from the same file the wide pans (about 500k in size) pans sometimes come up on my screen as simple red boxes with no picture in them.
OS 10.4 user---My colleague can make a Mac Projector via Publish using the same settings as I use and all is fine, and it is the same size as the unusable file I create (above). He then zips the Mac Projector file and ftps it to me. When it is unzipped his Mac Projector files plays fine on my computer (the OS 10.5.6 above).
Is there something in OS 10.5 which is causing this and is Adobe and Apple working to fix it ... or is there a fix already? Thanks.
Also, we have both installed Flash Player 10 and are trying to use it, but this version no longer appears in the Appliciation folder but somewhere under Library/Preferences. How can we bring it up to know that we are actually playing swf docs from v. 10 and check the 'info' on it? Could my not using Flash Player 10 be related to the 'red box' problem above?

Ricardo,
Don't create a special folder or volume. Don't move the folders. Don't rename the folders. Let Adobe install install its software at its defaults. If you must have the software in a different location, create and use aliases instead. Or put your Adobe apps in the Dock. That is the probably the most reliable way to install, update and manage Adobe apps.

Using icloud, why can't i share a document created on my mac, and while out of town, access the document on my macbook pro. icloud should do this.

I create a document at home on my mac.
while out of town on a trip and using icloud and my macbook pro, I should be able to access this document.
If not, what good is icloud.

'Documents in the Cloud' enables you to manually upload iWork '09 documents (only) to the iCloud webpage: from there is will automatically be downloaded to iOS5 devices, but you cannot re-download it to your Mac oir to another Mac until it's been edited on an iOS device, so it's not really suitable for what you want, and you cannot do it at all with other types of file.
You will need a third-party solution. SugarySync would be my recommendation - it can do what you want completely seamlessly - this page examines that and some other options:

Why can't I open PDF files created in Adobe X using Adobe XI? How do I fix this?

Why can't I open PDF files created using Adobe X in Adobe XI?

I try and open them in Reader (double left click on the file) and all I get is a single screen with two overlapping frames neither of which have anything to do with the subject although the presentation title is at the top. One of the frames had "Adobemail.com" on it. Our work computers were recently up-graded to Adobe XI and this was the first time I tried to open a presentation that has worked fine in the past. I would have thought that Adobe XI would have been backward compatible, but it doesn't seem so. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have an 08:00 First-Aid class tomorrow and need this presentation. Apparently Adobe forums are off-line for up-grades. Thanks

Why can I not update my CS 6 programs to Mac OS X

I am having problems with updating the latest Updates for my CS 6 programs *here PS and Ill. fx. And the notice says to contact costumer support, but only get a few Q's and A's.
HOW do I get in direct contact (or chat/mail) with costumer service of ADOBE_

Hej again Steve
Ok sorry again
But you seem to be quite into this field. (and I've unfortunately been
'out' for a while). I used to be up to date, but now, it's all moving so
fast, and if you're away for a few years then you're (screwed)
I've been trying to get in touch with Adobe mostly for 1. update of my
programs because I seem to have a lot of 'faults' in each (crashing, screen
moving and such)
BUT 2. also because I want to join CC and with the 40% off (as I have an
original CS) but when I enter info, it will not accept my serial nr. NOW
after your guidance I came across this site which shows that I am granted a
''free'' CC. Am I reading this right. _ ? I am no idiot, but yes, in the
computer field _ I am a designer and a damn good one, but all the techichal
(that is another language _ and heck, we all have our fields_ I go to a
mechanic to get my car fixed, you?
Just smiling
Look forward to hear from you

Thank you Steve / at least it seems that I can get a ''chat'' going.
A few years ago I could mail them but now not that and no phone (or rather
when I call long distance I never get thru) what I most want is personal
contact. Because even if they list 20 or something common Q and A's mine do
not follow in on any of the categories. BUT thanks again for the link.
Maybe you can help me with others ... Just a thought
I\m trying to upgrade my PS, ID and Illustrator CS6 / and I know from
previous Adobe guidance, one should not just take the latest. I seem to be
successful with my ID (but yet to prove when I test it, which I haven't had
time to yet) BUT my PS and Ill come up with this (see attached file).
Hope you can help. Anyway, you have so far.
Because you see - I have an original CS6 and want to upgrade to CC soon.
AND they offer a 40% discount if you already have the original. BUT when I
type in my serial nr. it won't register this. I've been trying (no kidding)
for a year now, if not longer. AND this is not in one of their Q and A's

How can i transfer a iphoto book created on one mac to another mac.

how can i transfer an iphoto book created on one mac to another mac. i am aware of pdf saving but it doesn't help! need to see the iphoto book on other mac.
and how can i view in slide-show double pages instead of single pages?
anybody has an idea?

Stephan:
If you want to be able to view the book with iPhoto on the other Mac you'll have to copy the library containing the book to the other Mac. You won't be able to import that book into the other library.
Make a duplicate copy of the library containing the book and rename the folder "Book Library". Open it with iPhoto and delete all of the files that are not in the book. Then copy the Book Library folder to the other Mac and open. You can also burn the Book Library folder to a CD as a way to archive the book in case you decide to order another copy at a later date. I create a separate library for each book I create and order and archive it to CD when I've ordered.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the fonts?

How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the original fonts? An AI file was created with an image and text on a MAC. When the AI file was opened on a PC, the text fonts were not the same as originally created. Also, the same AI file was saved to PDF on the MAC. When the AI file was opened on a PC, there wasn't anything visible. Anyone have any ideas?

Are you using the save version of Illustrator on both Mac and PC? If so, and you have the same fonts installed on both machines you should be able to open it without any problems. You may need to tell it which fonts to assign, they are not always named the same. If you don't need to edit the text, you could convert the text to outline and eliminate the need for fonts.

HT4783 why can't airdrop work between iOS (iphone) and OSX (Mac Computers)?

why can't airdrop work between iOS (iphone) and OSX (Mac Computers)?

NNot sure if anyone help you resolve this or if it works with Mavericks but with Yosemite I couldn't send From iPhone 5 or iPad mini 2 because my Macbook Pro wasn't able to be seen via AirDrop. After a grueling 4 hours with support and factory resets of both devices I was transferred to the CPU Support team, which resolved my issue in about 3 mins. Needless to say I wasn't happy but figured I should help anyone else in the same boat as me. I have both devices operating on iOS 8 and MacBook pro rubbing Yosemite.
1. Open Finder Window -> Airdrop -> Change setting for "Allow me to be discovered by:" to no one and close the finder window.
2. Go To Apple Logo -> Force Quit -> Select Finder from App List -> Force Quit.
3. Open Finder Window -> Airdrop -> Change setting for "Allow me to be discovered by:" to everyone and try to send file from iPad / iPhone to computer.
This process allowed the computer to be seen / recornized on the iOS deVice. Hope this helps.

Why can't I import a .mov created with QT screen recording into FCX?

I created a .mov file with QuickTime's Screen Recording mode. The movie thus created opens in the QuickTime Player and plays fine, but when I try to import it into FCX's editor with File>Import, I get an error message: "File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown".
Why can't I import this .mov to edit it in FCX?
Thanks,

Bengt, I believe the OP's "FCX" does mean FCE.
Like Al said, they need to be transcoded (say, to AIC) in something like MPEG Streamclip, QT Pro or Compressor.
Actually, FCP X will happily open them.

TextEdit is an application on your Mac.
Type TextEdit into Spotlight (magnifying icon top right on the menubar) to quickly locate and open it.
It is the basic Text/Word Processor (but actually very capable) that comes with all Macs and a good place to test differences if you hit a problem.

Why Can't I Open PHP Files on My New Mac?

I can open them fine in Firefox or Explorer on both my PC and my iMac, but on my new Mac G5 it prompts me to save the file.
Most disturbing...

Well, needless to say, it dodn't work.
Lone and behold, I do not have a httpd.conf file anywhere on my mac.
AND
On top of it all, I hardly understand what anyone is telling me or why they're telling me it. I understand step by step, and this is where it drives me nuts because I DO follow step by step directions and they don't work!
Then people tell me to download all this software... They might as well recall Apache or OS 10 because if step by step directions can't be executed... Well, then it's not very good software.
FROM MACROMEDIA HELP FILES
Setup for Sample PHP Site
Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 comes with sample PHP pages to let you build a small web application. This chapter describes one way to set up the sample application using Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) or Personal Web Server (PWS). For more information on these web servers, see Installing a Web Server. If you're using a different web server, see "Setting Up a Web Application" in Using Dreamweaver Help.
If you're a Macintosh user, you can either connect to a remote PHP server or develop PHP sites locally using the Apache web server and PHP application server installed with your operating system. For setup information, see the following websites:
• developer.apple.com/internet/macosx/php.html
• www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/
Setting up a web application is a three-step process. First, configure your system. Second, define a Dreamweaver site. Third, connect the application to your database. This setup guide follows this three-step process.
Configuring your system (PHP)
You must configure your system before you can run PHP pages on it. Specifically, you must make sure a web server and a PHP application server are installed and running on your system, then you must create a root folder for your PHP files.
Configuring your Macintosh system (PHP)
If you're a Macintosh user, you can run PHP pages on your computer using the Apache web server and PHP application server installed with your operating system. Configuring your system consists of making sure the web server and PHP application server are working, then creating a root folder for your PHP files.
Testing the PHP installation (Macintosh)
You can test the Apache web server and PHP application server on your Macintosh by running a test page.
However, before you can use the web server to serve PHP pages and content from MySQL databases, you must configure the server to work with PHP and MySQL. For information on this process, see www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/dreamweaver/articles/php_macintosh.html.
To test the Apache web server and PHP application server:
1. Configure the server as described in the article on the Macromedia website.
2. In Dreamweaver or any text editor, create a plain text file and name it timetest.php.
3. In the file, enter the following code:
4. This page was created at
5. <?php echo date("h:i:s a", time()); ?>
6. on the computer running PHP.
7. This code displays the time the page was processed on the server.
8. Copy the file to the /Users/yourusername/Sites folder on your Macintosh.
9. This Sites folder is your personal root folder for the Apache web server.
10. In your web browser, enter the following URL and press Return:
11. http://localhost/~yourusername/timetest.php
The test page should open and display a time of day.
The specified time is known as dynamic content because it changes every time you request the page. Click your browser's Refresh button to generate a new page with a different time.
Note: Looking at the source code (View > View Source in Safari) will confirm that the page does not use any client-side JavaScript to achieve this effect.
If the page doesn't work as expected, check for the following possible errors:
• The file does not have a .php extension.
• The URL contains a typing mistake. Check for errors and make sure the filename is not followed by a slash, such as http://localhost/~yourusername/timetest.php/. Also make sure you included the tilde (~) before your user name.
• The page code contains a typing mistake.
• The Apache server is not running. Look in System Preferences, in the Sharing category, to see whether Personal Web Sharing is enabled.
After testing and testing the server software, create a root folder for your web application. (See Creating a root folder (Macintosh).)
Creating a root folder (Macintosh)
After the server software is installed, create a root folder for your web application on the Macintosh.
To create a root folder for your web application:
• Create a folder called MySampleApp in the /Users/yourusername/Sites folder.
• Apache will process any page in this folder or in any of its subfolders in response to an HTTP request from a web browser.
After configuring your system, you must define a Dreamweaver site. (See Defining a Dreamweaver site (PHP).)
Defining a Dreamweaver site (PHP)
After configuring your system, copy the sample files to a local folder and define a Dreamweaver site to manage the files.
Note: If you're a Macromedia HomeSite or ColdFusion Studio user, you may find it useful to think of a Dreamweaver site as being like a HomeSite or Studio project.
Copying the sample files
If you haven't already done so, copy the sample files from the Dreamweaver application folder to a folder on your hard disk.
To copy the sample files:
1. Create a new folder called Sites-Local in your user folder on your hard disk.
2. For example, create one of the following folders:
• C:\Documents and Setting\yourusername\My Documents\Sites-Local (Windows)
• /Users/yourusername/Documents/Sites-Local (Macintosh).
3. Note: On the Macintosh, there's a folder called Sites already in your user folder. Don't use that Sites folder as your local folder; the Sites folder is where you place your pages to make them publicly accessible when you're using the Macintosh as a web server.
4. Locate the GettingStarted folder in the Dreamweaver application folder on your hard disk.
5. If you installed Dreamweaver to its default location, the path to the folder is as follows:
• C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Samples\GettingStarted\ (Windows)
• /Applications/Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004/Samples/GettingStarted (Macintosh)
6. Copy the GettingStarted folder into the Sites-Local folder.
After copying the GettingStarted folder, define the folder as a Dreamweaver local folder. (See Defining a local folder.)
Defining a local folder
After copying the GettingStarted folder, define the folder containing the PHP sample files as a Dreamweaver local folder.
To define the Dreamweaver local folder:
1. In Dreamweaver, select Site > Manage Sites. In the Manage Sites dialog box, click the New button, then select Site.
2. The Site Definition dialog box appears.
3. If the Basic tab is showing, click the Advanced tab.
4. In the Site Name text box, enter Trio-PHP.
5. The name identifies your site within Dreamweaver.
6. Click the folder icon next to the Local Root Folder text box, then browse to and select the folder (inside the GettingStarted folder) that contains the PHP sample files. The folder should be as follows:
• C:\Documents and Setting\yourusername\My Documents\Sites-Local\GettingStarted\ 4-Develop\php (Windows)
• /Users/yourusername/Documents/Sites-Local/GettingStarted/4-Develop/php (Macintosh)
Leave the Site Definition dialog box open. Next, define a web server folder as a Dreamweaver remote folder. (See Defining a remote folder.)
Defining a remote folder
After defining a local folder, define a web server folder as a Dreamweaver remote folder.
To define the Dreamweaver remote folder:
1. In the Advanced tab of the Site Definition dialog box, select Remote Info from the Category list.
2. The Remote Info screen appears.
3. In the Access pop-up menu, choose how you want to move your files to and from the server: across a local network (the Local/Network option) or using FTP.
4. Note: There are other options in the Access pop-up menu, but this chapter doesn't cover them. For information about them, see Using Dreamweaver Help.
5. Enter the path or FTP settings to the web server folder you created in Creating a root folder (Windows).
6. The folder may be on your hard disk or on a remote computer. Even if you created the folder on your hard disk, that folder is still considered to be the remote folder. The following example shows a possible Remote Folder path if you chose Local/Network access and your remote folder is on your Windows hard disk:
7. Remote Folder: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MySampleApp
8. On the Macintosh, the folder might be as follows:
9. Remote Folder: /Users/yourusername/Sites/MySampleApp
10. For more information on FTP, see "Setting Remote Info options for FTP access" in Using Dreamweaver Help.
Leave the Site Definition dialog box open. Next, define a folder to process dynamic pages. (See Specifying where dynamic pages can be processed (PHP).)
Specifying where dynamic pages can be processed (PHP)
After defining the Dreamweaver remote folder, specify a folder to process dynamic pages. Dreamweaver uses this folder to display dynamic pages and connect to databases while you're developing your application.
To specify the folder to process dynamic pages:
1. In the advanced Site Definition dialog box, click Testing Server in the Category list.
2. The Testing Server screen appears. Dreamweaver needs the services of a testing server to generate and display dynamic content while you work. The testing server can be your local computer, a development server, a staging server, or a production server, as long as it can process PHP pages. In many situations, including setting up for the Trio site, you can use the same settings as the Remote Info category (see Defining a remote folder) because they point to a server capable of processing PHP pages.
3. Select PHP MySQL from the Server Model pop-up menu.
4. In the Access pop-up menu, select the same method (Local/Network or FTP) you specified for accessing your remote folder.
5. Dreamweaver enters the settings you specified in the Remote Info category. Leave the settings unchanged.
6. In the URL Prefix text box, enter the root URL you would enter in a web browser to request a page in your web application.
7. To display live data in your pages while you work, Dreamweaver creates a temporary file, copies it to the website's root folder, and attempts to request it using the URL prefix.
8. Dreamweaver makes a best guess at the URL prefix based on the information you provided in the Site Definition dialog box. However, the suggested URL prefix may be incorrect. Correct or enter a new URL prefix if the suggestion in Dreamweaver is incorrect. For more information, see "About the URL prefix" in Dreamweaver Help (Help > Using Dreamweaver).
9. For the PHP sample content in Windows, the prefix should be as follows:
10. URL Prefix: http://localhost/MySampleApp/
11. On the Macintosh, the prefix should be as follows:
12. URL Prefix: http://localhost/~yourusername/MySampleApp/
13. Tip: The URL prefix should always specify a directory, rather than a particular page on the site. Also, be sure to use the same capitalization you used when you created the folder.
14. Click OK to define the site and dismiss the Site Definition dialog box, then click Done to dismiss the Manage Sites dialog box.
After specifying a folder to process dynamic pages, upload the sample files to the web server. (See Uploading the sample files.)
Uploading the sample files
After specifying a folder to process dynamic pages, upload the sample files to the web server. You must upload the files even if the web server is running on your local computer.
If you don't upload the files, features such as Live Data view and Preview in Browser may not work properly with dynamic pages. For example, image links might be broken in Live Data view because the image files are not on the server yet. Similarly, clicking a link to a detail page while previewing a master page in a browser will cause an error if the detail page is missing from the server.
To upload the samples files to the web server:
1. In the Files panel (Window > Files), select the root folder of the site in the Local View pane.
2. The root folder is the first folder in the list.
3. Click the blue Put Files arrow icon in the Files panel toolbar, and confirm that you want to upload the entire site.
4. Dreamweaver copies all the files to the web server folder you defined in Defining a remote folder.
The Dreamweaver site is now defined. The next step is to connect to the sample database installed with Dreamweaver. (See Connecting to the sample database (PHP).)
Connecting to the sample database (PHP)
During installation, Dreamweaver copies a SQL script to your hard disk. You can use this script to automatically create a sample MySQL database. This section describes how to create a connection to the sample database.
This section assumes you have installed and configured MySQL on your local or remote computer. To download and install the database system, visit the MySQL website at www.mysql.com.
Creating the MySQL database
The sample files for Dreamweaver MX 2004 include a SQL script capable of creating and populating a sample MySQL database.
Before starting, make sure MySQL is installed and configured on your local or remote computer. You can download the latest version from the MySQL website at www.mysql.com.
To create the sample MySQL database:
1. Copy the SQL script file, insert.sql, to an appropriate folder on the computer that has MySQL installed.
2. If you installed Dreamweaver to its default location, the path to the script file is as follows:
• C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Samples\Database\insert.sql (Windows)
• /Applications/Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004/Samples/Database/insert.sql (Macintosh)
3. If the computer running MySQL is a Windows computer, copy the insert.sql script to MySql\Bin. If the computer running MySQL is a Macintosh, copy the insert.sql script to your Documents folder in your home folder.
4. On the computer that has MySQL installed, open a command prompt window (Windows) or a Terminal window (Macintosh).
• In Windows, you can open the command prompt by selecting Start > Programs > Command Prompt or Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
• On the Macintosh, you can open a Terminal window by going to the Applications folder, opening the Utilities folder, and double-clicking Terminal.
5. (Windows only) Change to the mysql\bin directory by entering the following commands at the command prompt:
6. cd \
7. cd mysql\bin
8. Note: On the Macintosh, you should be able to run mysql from any directory; it should have been added to your path during installation of MySQL. If the following step doesn't work on the Macintosh, though, try typing /usr/local/bin/mysql instead of mysql.
9. Start the MySQL client by entering the following command:
10. mysql -uUser -pPassword
11. For example, if your MySQL user name (also known as an account name) and password are Tara and Telly3, then enter the following command:
12. mysql -uTara -pTelly3
13. If you don't have a password, omit the -p argument as follows:
14. mysql -uTara
15. If you didn't define a user name while configuring your MySQL installation, enter root as the user name, as follows:
16. mysql -uroot
17. The MySQL client's command prompt appears, as follows:
18. mysql>
19. Create a new database by entering the following command at the MySQL prompt:
20. mysql>CREATE DATABASE TrioMotors;[/quote]
Last login: Mon Mar 27 23:05:38 on ttyp1
Welcome to Darwin!
mac:~ albert$ mysql -uMonaco

mysql> CREATE DATABASE TrioMotors;
ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'triomotors'
mysql>
Needless to say, I can't get any further. :-/
[quote=macromedia help files]21. MySQL creates a new database, but it doesn't contain any tables or records yet.
22. Log out of the MySQL client by entering the following command at the prompt:
23. mysql>quit;
24. At the system command prompt, populate the new TrioMotors database in MySQL.
25. In Windows, use the following command:
26. mysql -uUser -pPassword TrioMotors < insert.sql
27. On the Macintosh, use the following command:
28. mysql -uUser -pPassword TrioMotors < ~/Documents/insert.sql
29. This command uses the insert.sql file to add tables and records to the TrioMotors database you created in step 5.
After creating the MySQL database, create a database connection to it in Dreamweaver. (See Creating a database connection.)[/quote]

Why can't I download the latest iTunes to my mac which is a 10.5.8

I have got myself in a real mess, I installed the new iOS 7 onto my iPad and I don't like it so I imported all my new photos to my mac, then I reset all my settings on my iPad thinking that it would go back to the original settings but alas didn't work.
Then I thought I would put up with it but now I cannot put my photos etc back onto the iPad because my mac needs the version of iTunes but when I try to install the new version I get a messy come up that iTunes cannot install this new version on my mac which is a 10.5.8.
So now I am stuck with the software on the iPad I don't like and I cannot sync the iPad to iTunes
So why can't I download the new version of iTunes to the mac which is 10.5.8

Put simply, the minimum system requirements for iTunes have changed. You need a Mac running at least OS X 10.6.8.
It's best you look online to see if your model of Mac can be upgraded to at least 10.6.8 "Snow Leopard". It should still be possible to order a copy of Snow Leopard if so.

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:

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 can't I print with an HP and a mac using PSE9

Why can't I print using an HP printer and a mac with Mountain Lion and PSE9

HP printers tend to have long names. Try renaming your printer to something more simple.
Click on System Preferences in the dock or from the menu after clicking the apple icon (top left)
Under Hardware choose Print & Scan
Right-click or Ctrl+Click on your HP Printer and choose rename printer
Type a new name e.g. My Printer (you can also add a location if you wish)
Then click OK

HT1338 Why can't I play my games on my new MAC ?

Medal of Honor Allied Assault is one of my games that won't download, why?

Playing PowerPC games on Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) installed into Parallels in Lion or Mt. Lion:

Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps. A recent poster has offered a solution for Mountain Lion users that do not have access to Snow Leopard or Lion Macs.
NOTE 2: Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.
