Is iWeb '09 compatible with Mavericks or Mountain Lion

Runs fine in Mountain Lion for me. Mavericks is not released to the public yet so no one can know for sure on that one. You do know that, although iWeb will run, it is discontinued software, right?

No problem, enjoy Mountain Lion!

Any idea why Apple discontinued iWeb and iDVD?

No idea.

Here's some info about running iWeb on Mountain Lion...

Yes, iWeb 09 will work with Mountain Lion fine, so go ahead and upgrade. As for Mavericks, this has not been released yet, so nobody knows.

Apple has not supported iWeb and iDVD for a long time now and got rid of iWeb because of the closure of MobileMe at the end of June last year. MobileMe supported web hosting and when MobileMe was gone, there was no need for iWeb any longer and you can publish elsewhere, so no further need for iWeb and also iCloud does not offer web hosting.

Think i'm in same boat guys..

Roddy is a legend and has helped me develop my music iweb site so much http://www.paulhand.co.uk

I'm worried about upgrading to 10.7 as not only the potential problems with opening editing and working in iweb but also if Lion is more of a resource puller on my Mac Book machine.

Any thoughts?

Any real benifits of Lion operating system over what i'm doing now..

Lion really sucked and Mountain Lion is not a lot better. Neither are anywhere as fast and efficient as Snow Leopard and I wouldn't upgrade unless you have an SSD.

Mavericks promises to be much better with faster seek times so I would wait for it. The beta is available to Developers and iWeb appears to work OK.

I have just upgraded my MacBook Pro and rather than purchasing a new one I decided to upgrade the ram and insert a new ssd. I put a new Kingston ssd in and it is now extremely fast. Cuts down loading time to between 10 to 15 seconds and it is very quiet indeed.

I bought a Macbook Pro Retina with SSD for my travels and couldn't believe how fast it goes c/w my iMac.

I was going to upgrade the iMac to SSD but may now wait until I try Mavaricks on it to see if they have improved the somewhat disastrous performance of Lion/Mountain Lion.

I hope iWeb works on mavricks or Pages picks up where iWeb left off.... www.StudioMcCutch.com has been a iweb site sense I could run iWeb. I love this App if I cant use it in Mavricks it would simply SUCK... I also hope xgrid opens up to the rest of us none programer types... I would love two Mac Pros connected with Thunderbolt working together as one or at leased distribute my computing between them...

Me too. Apple you created this iWeb community please dont let it DIE...

To see if people cared about iWeb and iDVD so please rant and rave. I am a small business owner that needs iWeb. its simply still better than anything out there. Better than Word Press, Tumbler etc... I love its features I love that is already set up for moble I love iFrame. I would like to see more HTML5 custom & template slide show options. Maybe a Hud for Paypal shop buttons. or Aperture image shop Cutom Templates that also water marks and protects my images from downloading etc.. with Paypal Shopping Cart or Custom Ecomm options.. There is alot more I could ad that would make my life easyier.

Rant and rave all you like, but it won't change anything at this stage. Apple stopped developing iWeb a long time ago now and have not sold it for sometime now either. They don't support iWeb eithert. MobileMe went away more than a year ago now and was replaced by iCloud, so there was not need for iWeb to be developed any longer.

iWeb is really not likely to be developed by Apple any further, so it is time to take this on board and move on. It is an application and will still work with Mountain Lion, so if you have iWeb on your Mac then you can still use it, so carry on and continue to use it until you can't any longer.

There are lots of alternatives out there for you to try, with most available through the Mac App Store - these include: RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express 6, Flux 4, WebAcappella 4 and Quick 'n Easy Web Builder. You can download free trials of most of these so that you can try before you buy.

If you go to Rage software they are actively working on an iWeb alternative called EasyWeb. If you send them an e-mail, they will let you sign up as a beta tester and you can download the beta version before the final version is released. They also have a Facebook page that you can follow.

There are lots of alternatives out there that might suit you - you just have to look, but it really is time to move on from iWeb now and accept the face that Apple will no longer develop this product - with MobileMe gone, there is no further need for it.

Apple listens to people.... Ethmoid is just a NaySayer
