iWeb Publishing Whole Website...

I'm having the exact same problem. Change one letter, it republishes the whole site. Trashing plist and fixing permissions does nothing. Please help, as this glitch makes it impossible to use from a practical point of view.

Are you using the File->Publish Site Changes menu option?

my guess is there is an apple/mobileMe/iWeb problem as this has recently happened to me. I called apple, they couldnt help and i even used ichat for 2 hours and they said it was my Mac, CLEARLY NOT!

Ive tried everything from deleting Plist to logging in and out of mobile me to re-syncing to using another user iweb and everything under the sun!!

Please sort it soon.

Here is my issue - I publish my website which is fine and it works. I then go to change something and it turns red again instead of BLUE and wants to publish the whole site again, I have 6 sites that are very big and I cannot do this all the time.

Hello Old Toad -

Out of curiosity I did use the menu option that you mention earlier today and it did go ahead and update the whole site after I had worked on just one page. Since then I've been having the same problem as many are reporting - successful publishing, blue pages, a change, everything goes red, and lately upload failures and error reports - perhaps not surprising if everybody is trying to republish entire sites all at once?

Incidentally, the publish site arrow at the bottom of the page gives the help message 'publish changes to the current site' if you leave the mouse pointer over it, which is how I remember it working in iWeb 08

You didn't have to publish that way before. When you made a change and hit the publish site button on the bottom it only used to publish the changes. Now its publishing everything. My blog is over 2 gigs of space and it takes hours to upload a new blog entry now because of it. Every photog in my studio uses iweb and they are having the same issue.

So what changed to make this happen?

Yes, I'm using the File-> Publish site changes.

In addition to plist deletion and permissions repair, I've also tried dumping the whole site off my mobielme account, and reloading the whole thing. But the next little change I make (one letter) causes all the pages to go red when I choose publish. Since the same software worked two days ago, I'm guessing its a mobileme issue.

I tested this out this morning with the update and iWeb only uploads the changed files to MobileMe.
The thing is, I keep all my websites on separate domain files.
This problem seems to occur if you have more than one site on your domain file.

No so, I only have 1 site on my domain and it is doing it to me.

same for me, 1 site on 1 domain.

I wonder whether this might be that people installed iWeb 09 at their own unsynchronised pace. Now a lot of people have installed the update, and are simultaneously republishing their sites, so all these problems are a sign of mobile me servers under strain - in which case things will sort themselves out? In the morning in the UK I was able to update single pages, in the afternoon when North America came on line and Europe still posting was when the problem started for me . . . Call me optimistic . . .

Is anybody not using mobile me hosting having these problems of red sites?

Are you using "Publish Site Changes" from the File drop down menu?

Same thing just suddenly started happening to me today. Haven't changed anything and it was working OK with iWeb 09. Publishing two sites to mobileme and I have lots of videos so its taking ages to upload the smallest change!

My guess it's something to do with mobileme.

I have many sites under my domain. If I publish one site, all my other sites go red. This happened before and after the update. Something very screwy is going on.

Same thing happened to me yesterday and continues today. Obviously, it's Apple's fault.

I have been on apple iChat for over 2 hours today with this issue and have been through all the usual deletion and install and the like.

Finally I was able to publish to file instead of mobileMe and I said to the iChat guy that this then points to mobileMe doesnt it and he said yes. I am still on line with them now.

Maybe you should point him to this thread and let him know it is not isolated to you.
