iWeb publishing nightmare

I tried the Publish to .Mac as well.. did you adjust any of your photos or graphics? Make any other change prior to your success with Publish to .Mac?

Even though iWeb appears to fail in Publishing, visiting the site online shows everything except Search, Counter and Comments. Is this the case for everyone else?

People have suggested Exporting and Manually copying to .Mac, however no one has been able to tell if Counter, Comments and Search function with this method.

My point is ... iWeb seems to be publishing the site anyway.. just leaving off the new features. So you may get the same results with the Manual method.

Feedback on results of Failed uploads would be great!

I changed a hotlink on one of my pages. I checked the boxes to allow the search feature and the comments, then simply hit Publish to .Mac. Prior to this I had tried the publish All and got all of the same errors - an error mentioning a png file, an error about the navbar background file, an error about the iDisk quota, all of them. I actually thought that 1.1 would fix the problem of the web page backgrounds being a fixed width, i.e., that they remain only so wide, even when the browser window is expanded horizontally, but apparently that's not the case.

Anyway, maybe I'll try the Publish to All later today. Or maybe that wouldn't gain me anything.

Not in my case: the .png error message occurs almost right away and if I check my sites in Safari they do no reflect any change.

I guess you could run into some issues if you have idisk synchronization turned on (that is: you keep a copy of your idisk on your desktop). I don't have a local copy, so dragging the sites to iDisk worked fine (like copying any file onto iDisk)

If you use this method, slideshows will not display with the Javascript method of presentation, ie. the black background with the transitioning slides, and fade effects and controls, auto-switching from slide to slide. They will appear in the old brushed-metal interface.

As ever, I'm glad it ain't just me.

iWeb goes through all the 'creating pages' motions just fine, then starts doing whatever it does in the background and the little clocks appear. First time, they go round quite quickly to '15 past', then up pops a little message saying there is a problem with a photos. A photo that was the first ever photo I published with iWeb about 5 minutes after getting it out the box way back when. One that has - in theory - been published ever day since, if it used to re-publish everything everytime you update your blog.

I try a second time (without re-starting the programme) and the little clocks go to a couple of minutes over and...nothing. Gave it half an hour and nothing. I try to quit and it says it's uploading, but clearly nothing is happening. Re-start programme, and we're back to the first problem again.

I've looked at my blog, and todays' episode has published, but the features comment isn't there, suggesting the bit about publishing everything to take advantage of the feature, hasn't worked.

This really isn't good enough for a new update. Maybe if everyone reports it as a bug, then the Apple dudes will put down their surfboards long enough sort it.

This is what I found also. iWeb acts like it has not been able to publish the site, but all changes are included when I checked on line.

Just to let you know that i got the same problem.

here what I finally had to do:
1. upgrade
2. log on to idrive and deleted all the pages and rss files created in iweb
3. give it a 15 minutes to clear up on the servers
4. reupload the whole site (may take multiple times doing this and a few errors here and there)
5. after that was done, I did a single test blog entry and an worked flawlessly.

note: iweb1.1 is much more sensitive to bandwidth and previous file types than 1.0.1, but the coding appears cleaner

Nothing seems to work for me. iWeb is a great application and I understand this is still a version 1. However, I can't believe Apple is not even aknowledging his MAJOR ISSUE in the support page or in the service status in the .Mac page.

I tried the above (deleting iweb on idisk and re-publishing) but it hasn't worked. I've tried publishing multiple times - lost count at this point - since last night all to no avail. The site publishes, but without all the added features. Is it just a matter of waiting until the traffic has died down?

Well like many of us... Apple too appears clueless about the issue. Support document recommends repeated attempts. No cause noted.

Same problem here...

So, can someone create an Automator workflow to republish every time an error message appears? That way I don't have to fiddle with it all the time.

Just kidding.
