Oct 11, 2012 11:15 AM in response to anthonyfromlakevilleby Roddy,To get rid of something completely from iWeb, delete it, save, quit iWeb, reboot your Mac and then relaunch iWeb.
The reboot gets rid of the redundant files from the iWebdomain package.
Deleting the prefs is covered here...

... and how to get to the library when using Lion/Mountain Lion here...

Oct 11, 2012 1:22 PM in response to Roddyby anthonyfromlakeville,Roddy, I tried what you suggested re. deleting, saving, quitting iWeb, and rebooting, to no avail. Regarding the other links to iwebfor musicians, I could not follow how to do what they were suggesting eg. using Go in Finder or finding my library in Home. Any other thoughts? This is driving me nuts and the Apple help desk couldn't resolve either.

Oct 11, 2012 2:15 PM in response to Roddyby anthonyfromlakeville,Thanks, again. I was able to find the library but not the files I needed to delete (com.apple.iweb.plist and com.apple.iweb.plist.lockfile)
I also tried what you suggested, highlighting the text, pasting the URL... Still did not work and the link and description on link in inspector, reverts to livepage.apple. Very frustrating, even for a novice like me.

Oct 11, 2012 5:24 PM in response to anthonyfromlakevilleby Roddy,★HelpfulI just noticed that you are using iWeb '08. There are problems with saving and crashing when running under Lion/Mountain Lion.
Nobody seems to have come up with a fix since it is caused by system files and the only solution is to upgrade to iWeb V 3.0.4.
The app is still available on the iLife '09 and '11 disks from Amazon and other sources. Although the disk doesn't say it contains iWeb, both it and iDVD are there. They just weren't upgraded.

Oct 11, 2012 6:39 PM in response to Jeff Nitschkeby anthonyfromlakeville,Thanks, Jeff. I was able to get to the files and delete them. But still have not been able to solve the problem.

Oct 11, 2012 6:41 PM in response to Roddyby anthonyfromlakeville,Thanks, Roddy. I have upgraded to iWeb 3.04 but still have the same problem. Very frustrating and I am thinking about abandoning iWeb, despite all the work I have put into it. I don't see Apple making any efforts to solve the many problems users have with the product and don't think that they have plans to modify or upgrade. I appreciate all the time and input.

Oct 11, 2012 7:00 PM in response to anthonyfromlakevilleby Jeff Nitschke,Try creating a new site. Then, select every thing on a page of your current site copy & paste it into a page in the new site just to see if then you can edit the links.

Oct 12, 2012 5:42 AM in response to Jeff Nitschkeby anthonyfromlakeville,Jeff, tried this and started with the page on which I wanted to add the external link. Did not work but thanks for this good thought.

Oct 12, 2012 8:20 AM in response to anthonyfromlakevilleby Roddy,When you upgraded to V 3.0.4 did you reboot your Mac and run Disk Utility to repair permissions?

Nov 24, 2015 7:51 AM in response to Roddyby JulietAnneWood,Thanks Roddy. If I upgrade to iweb v 3.0.4 what will happen to my existing site? Will it automatically transfer to the newer version when I download and open it? I don't want to lose an almost perfect site! I'll be very grateful if it will transfer.

Nov 24, 2015 8:02 AM in response to Roddyby JulietAnneWood,Thanks Roddy. Highlighting the text of the link I was trying to make and pasting it into the text inspector worked for me - this time anyway!

Nov 25, 2015 1:12 AM in response to JulietAnneWoodby Ethmoid,O for goodness sakes - why on earth are you replying to a post that is 3 years old?
Roddy has not posted on these boards for several years now.
Also, I'm not sure that you will now be able to get hold of a copy of iWeb 09 - you do know that iWeb has not been a supported product for about 3 to 4 years now?
If you wanted to get iWeb 09, then you will need to look on Amazon for either a boxed set of iLife 09 or iLife 11 if they still exist now - very old and most folks have now moved on to other software that is supported and developed.
Try looking at EverWeb as a good replacement for iWeb.
Lastly, try looking before you post, so that you don't make the mistake of posting a reply to a thread that is 3 years old - it is out of date.
