No more than 6 entries will show on my site.

I had a year long blog with an older version of iWeb, but this version is not displaying anymore than 6 entries at a time in Safari.

I tried duplicating the entry and deleting the old #7, but it cuts off the bottom entry on the list leaving only six entries showing. Help!

I started this site as a homeowners discussion group and now I'm limited to topics we can argue over;-)

iMac, Powerbook, iPhone, Mac OS X (10.5.7), iWeb '08 Vers. 2.0.4

In Safari, click the Safari menu and choose +"Empty Cache..."+ Then, in iWeb, try publishing everything again. See also the "Troubleshooting" and "Fix iWeb" sections here:

If still no luck, when you post back here, indicate whether you're publishing to MobileMe or other host. MobileMe live chat support is now 24/7 — see this announcement. Other Apple support options are here.

Tried the empty Cache in Safari.. didn't work. The entries don't show up on my other computers as well. I went to troubleshooting and followed directions to throw out the iWeb preferences, then republished to no avail. I still only get 6 entries showing. It cuts off on my last entry.

I am publishing to MobileMe. I'll try your links to mobile me support.

I went to the directions you gave me.

By default, there is no limit listed. I was not able to change to any number (it is grayed out).

II did go to the MobileMe chat and had the following session. (It didn't solve the problem).

Thanks for the reply!

info: Hi, my name is Jake S. Welcome to Apple!
Jake S: Hi Paul
Paul Yeiter: Hi Jake, did you get my problem?
Jake S: I show you are unable to publish more than 6 pages now with iWeb correct?
Paul Yeiter: Yes, 6 blog entries.
Jake S: 6 blog entries...I see....I'll pull the account up quickly and see what we can find out Paul
Paul Yeiter: thanks
Jake S: I'm sorry for the delay. I'll be right with you.
Paul Yeiter: OK
Jake S: When was the last time that you were able to publish correctly Paul?
Paul Yeiter: I'm not sure when it dropped off the last entry. Maybe a moth ago.
Paul Yeiter: I've used earlier versions of iweb to journal for a year with no problems.
Paul Yeiter: Can you see old enties?
Jake S: Are you currently on iWeb 09 or 08?
Paul Yeiter: 08
Jake S: Unable to see any previous entries...only the 6
Paul Yeiter: there should be a Miscellaneous one as well
Jake S: In archives I see that too yes
Paul Yeiter: Before today, I combined Kudos with Misc. to keep it @ 6 show things would show
Jake S: I'll see how we can get this corrected Paul
Paul Yeiter: OK
Jake S: If you publish to a folder will it show any updated information?
Paul Yeiter: I haven't tried that.
Jake S: I'll also setup a test account for you to publish to so we can see how it reacts there as well
Jake S: If it publishes the same way to a test account there would be something within iWeb that would need to be addressed with the iApps team but if it shows new information, we should be able to republish that to the main pyeiter account and have it come up normally too
Paul Yeiter: what would you like me to do?
Jake S: Quit iWeb, sign out of mobileme in system preferences and then sign in again with this username and password please
Jake S: username mmtesting ________
Jake S: password apple ______
Jake S: then open iWeb again and Publish All To Mobileme
Paul Yeiter: OK
Jake S: let me know once it completes and we'll check it out
Paul Yeiter: It's publishing, but could take a while 😟
Jake S: Any approximate estimate?
Paul Yeiter: No, just working in the background.
Jake S: just from prior publishing that is...a guesstimate from you?
Paul Yeiter: 4 minutes?
Jake S: No worries then....I'll stand by
Paul Yeiter: Jake,
Paul Yeiter: While we're waiting.
Jake S: sure?
Paul Yeiter: Is it possible to recover an iweb blog I kept 2.5 years ago? When I upgraded computers, I lost it. It was an account of my wife's fight with cancer. I was hoping to keep it as a record or publish it in an iBook.
Jake S: As far as I know, if its in the domain file from the page it should be recoverable....that may be a question better suited for the iApps team with Apple Care....they support iWeb to a much fuller capacity than we do here in chat.....
Jake S: We can help with any publishing type issues but as far *** restoring any previous versions, they would be better to ask...sorry I dont have a better answer for you there Paul
Jake S: as far AS restoring....sorry bout that too
Jake S: spell check wont catch everything
Jake S: If we run into the same blog issues with the test me account that you see in the main pyeiter account, I'll recommend you speak with them as well to see if they can help figure out why iWeb wont publish more than 6 entries
Paul Yeiter: "if its in the domain file from the page it should be recoverable" What does that mean?
Jake S: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273) and there is the number just for future use Paul
Jake S: the single domain file encapsulates all the iweb sites and pages that you currently publish
Jake S: If the other blog kept from 2 years ago is still in a domain file somewhere, it should be recoverable
Jake S: so by changing versions or upgrading operating systems, it may or may not be able to be recovered....Im not certain...thats why I would recommend speaking with iApps about that one
Paul Yeiter: Do I need an AppleCare account to access the above number?
Jake S: The support is with apple care warranty coverage yes...but they will also bill per incident if no warranty is current
Jake S: I think Mobileme is the only support included with the annual service price and needs no apple care warranty
Paul Yeiter: I just got an iWeb notice of a "Publish Error
Jake S: Looks like the page is done....what is the error?
Paul Yeiter: An error occured while publishing file"/web/.Temporary Web Resources/88BF123E-3025-4620-A343-153E12737CB9
Paul Yeiter: Try publishing again later
Jake S: It looks like a keychain error....not critical...it published the page....it can be rectified by resetting the router or even repairing permissions to the mac startup disk
Jake S: but what does stand out is the same 6 entries....now on the page have you limited it to 6? If not how many more entries should be shown?
Paul Yeiter: There are 7 entries in iWeb (at this time)
Jake S: the difference I see off hand is the comments on the Annual Meetings are not present in the test mobileme account
Jake S: So from here, this is what I recommend Paul....go ahead and quit iWeb again
Jake S: then in system preferences>mobileme sign in as pyeiter again
Jake S: then open Finder and go into Applications>Utilities and open Disk Utility
Jake S: Click on the mac hd on the left side, run the repair permissions option and once its done reboot the mac....
Jake S: After rebooting, go into iWeb and select the Publish All to Mobileme option again and see if the 7th entry shows up as well as making sure there is no publishing error
Jake S: Im not sure if the problem lies in the page, the application or the keychain but since the error only presented itself in a test account, I would say the keychain would be fine
Jake S: something else that I would recommend, while we are still in chat, is to publish to a folder as well and see if the new entry shows....
Jake S: that can help isolate where the breakdown is as well...shouldnt take as long to publish to a folder as it does to the account
Paul Yeiter: I guess this is goodbye. If it doesn't work... should I call the Apple Care #?
Jake S: Yes...another thing that comes to mind would be to sort of flush out iweb....create a simple test page, move it to the first site on the left side and publish...once its shown correctly, delete it and with the main site in the first site position, publish again
Jake S: so there are a few options to go with but ultimately if none of the blog entries are updating, apple care would be the next point of contact
Paul Yeiter: "move it to the first site on the left" ?
Jake S: correct...on the left where you see Site and then pages under it....if you create a new site it would be 2nd on the list....just drag it above the main site so it is in the first position
Paul Yeiter: OK. Thanks for your time and expertise!
Jake S: I sure hope it helps Paul
Jake S: Have a great weekend and take care!

Leo,

I was able to get to change the Number above 6 (how it was listed). I was on the wrong page.
I increased the number to 20, saved, and then tried to publish. to MobileMe.

I got the following message...

Can’t create the file “RSS_white.png.” The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges.f

I changed the number to 10 entries and got the same dialog box. I have plenty of drive space left in MobileMe.

Any ideas?

Jun 30, 2009 2:37 PM in response to Yeit

Then the domain file is damaged. Did you try Roddy's troubleshooting tips? Can you determine which of the images on the page is the White RSS.png file? Maybe to to the currently published page and type Command OptionA to bring up the Activity window. Then in the list of files for your site locate the listing for RSS_white.png and double click on it. Try to see what it is so you can delete it from the page in iWeb. If it's a white image it may be tough to to see.

Is your site currently published and, if so, what's the URL of the page you're having problems with now.

Jun 30, 2009 2:57 PM in response to Old Toad

Thank you!

I tried the troubleshooting from your link (again)...

"A lot of problems can be solved simply be quitting the application, deleting the iWeb preference file and relaunching.
This file is located in your user library in your Home Folder. The path is - Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist
After you relaunch, don’t forget to reset your preferences in iWeb/Preferences.
If this doesn’t fix your problem, the next step is to repeat the above, restart your Mac and run Disk Utility to repair permissions."

Then went back in and reset the entries to more than 6 and was allowed to republish.
It works!

Between the lot of you, I'm up and running again.

Many Thanks! Yeit
