iWeb publishing nightmare

Hi everyone,

I just updated to iWeb 1.1 via software update, and now I can't publish anything to my .Mac page. I updated, and then made a new page (within my we site) in iWeb. I then pasted a long text-document from Pages in it, and hit Publish. It "created" the page, then said it would upload it. Well in the last step of uploading, I got an error saying "An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites/iWeb/Site/Rotary-2006 files/DSC01793framed.png”."
That file path is pointing to a page (a photo album) that was already published, and had been on the web for a while. I haven't deleted any of the pictures associated with it, so I don't know why it's having a problem. But none of the pictures are in the .png format, so I think the _framed.png portion of that file path may be pointing to one of iWeb's template files.

I even tried removing that photo page and re-publishing, but then it picks another picture out of another page that, again, should not be affected with this uploading a new text-only page.

Any one had the same problem?

Thanks!

I am having exactly the same problem, except it says the failed item was a .png file on one of my blogs! This is absolutely crazy, and someone at Apple will probably get fired over it... so many people all around the net are having the same exact problem! I wish I would have waited to update, I never learn...

Your republishing your whole site and (although it's not your fault) you chose a real bad time to do it because that is what everyone else is doing as well.

Are you sure that is the problem? It seems like it is picture specific... which to me would seem weird for it to be a simple bandwidth problem. I hope you are right... if so, should I just wait a day or so to do my updating?

Does anyone else have a theory? OR A SOLUTION?

? I'm sure someone will get it, as there are so many really smart guys on this forum.

I ran into the same problem today. I tried several times to publish a few mods, and got several different reasons for failure, including "unable to verify iDisk allotment on your account", or words to that effect. So I went into the System Prefs, tried to log onto my .Mac account, and it hung for a minute or so, and came back with roughly the same reply.
So I'm guessing that every one's iDisk are jamming .Mac. We need to be patient for a while.

I am having the exact same problem. Very frustrating to pay for .Mac and have it not work.

I did the same thing. Reinstalled iWeb 1.0.0 and the site that was having issues under 1.1 did not report any errors.

That pretty much rules out the 'server bandwidth' theory then, doesn't it? It must be a problem with 1.1. This *****.

You run a small newsagents in a small town on the edge of nowhere, with a population of 517. Most days your lucky to get 20 people in all day, let alone 2 at the same time.

On the morning after a local girl wins 100m gold at the Olympics in a new world record, you here a small voice complain it is very frustrating that you can't get a paper without the fuss when after all you pay for one every day of the year.

Is the small voice right or should you really have made your shop big enough for 503 people and stock enough newspapers everyday because now and again there is an increased demand.

No not at all, v 1.0 and 1.0.1 won't be trying to republish your whole website.

v 1.0 and 1.0.1 do not upload the whole site - only that which you have changed, this is old news the debate about this took place a long time ago, you only think it is uploading everything again., sync your idisk and check the creation dates of all the files.

Also check out how slow the forums are (they've been down already tonight), how slow your idisk syncs etc,,,
