Will iWeb still work in Yosemite?

And General Motors needs too give us the Corvair but it ain't gonna happen.

Of course it won't happen. Didn't you read "Unsafe at any speed"?

Tha problem for me with Everweb, it doesn't support drag and drop image. I got a sport website during the summer and replace about 30 images per week (which they are statistic board) . With iWeb I can just drag the new board with the same x,y every week and this is very fast.

EverWeb does support drag and drop of images. I think you mean you are trying to drag and drop an image onto an image that is already on your website so it uses the same settings as the existing image.

In EverWeb you can do this by going to the Inspector and under the second tab you can select the new image under the Fill box's choose button.

But this is not drag and drop. You need for each image to press a button and choose the right image in the finder. I'ts ok if you have one or two image to replace, but when it's over 30 images every week it's a big time consuming to do it.

With iWeb, my image are on the desktop and I take it from there with the mouse and drag over the old image to replace it. When the new image is the same size of the old one, no need to place it, the new take the same place than the older.

That particular behavior is a signature feature of iWeb and iWork - "Media Placeholder" allows you to designate a graphic so that other graphics will replace it preserving mask/alpha/size/rot/etc. It's a great feature, my only wish would be that there is a tell-tale available to see which ones have been designated so that a drag doesn't just splat an image into everything else.

Agreed it's still a great WYSIWYG web authoring app. Do wish its results were a bit more URL friendly ("whateversite.com/babypics") right out of the box. As long as it still publishes to folders or FTP it's still a free go-to rather than futzing with SeaMonkey or Kompozer as a free tool for hobbyist or educational settings. Freeway Express is OK but nowhere near as feature-rich as iWeb is/was, nor does it link to iLife libraries.

IIf you actually knew anything about App Store apps which are checked out by Apple before being listed and apps installed from the Internet you would actually know that you need to verify installing on your computer by using your computer log in PASSWORD.

Calm down Charmian.

You wrote;

"Strangely Easy Web is not available through the Apple App Store and required password permission to install.."

Implying EverWeb required a password to install. That is what I was correcting. Read your statement over again to see how it can be misleading and misread.

Apps from the app store require that you are logged into your iCloud account. Not your computer login. Once you are logged in, you don't need a password to download. I don't understand why that would offer any more protection to you. All apps that are downloaded from the Internet have a warning the first time you launch them as well.

All apps, whether installed from the app store or from the Internet, must be code signed to run on your computer (by default, unless you change this in your System Settings). If any app downloaded from anywhere did anything bad to a user's computer, Apple can revoke the code signing stopping the app from running.

If you are overly paranoid, which it sounds like you are, you should know that being in the Mac App Store does NOT guarantee an app is 100% safe and comes with it's own drawbacks and limitations.

Did you have an existing site? I do, but I wanted to do some editing. Alas, when I opened iWeb, there is nothing except the frames for starting a new project.

Any idea how I can get and edit an existing page?

Thanks.

Here's my run-thru when I reopen iWeb.

I make sure the original site isn't staring me in the face in the sidebar. Mostly because I outsmart myself - and try to give them pretty-fied short names and forget what they meant.

Assuming your eyesight and memory are better than mine, next thing to check is the domains file.

It's in volume/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites

(mine is Domain.sites2 - seem to remember that extension might have originally been .sites so be loose if doing a search - see why below...)

(The tricky thing above is that Library has been hidden by default since at least Mavericks, there's a terminal command for bringing it back, but you can simply use the finder with the option key down and use the Go menu to get into your user library.)

There should be one such file there, if not then search to see if it got moved during an upgrade / user switch / migration / zombie attack etc...

I've been known to move it deliberately so that I can have separate sets of sites (so I have things appended to the filename to remind me...) I've also been known to forget that I did so six months earlier. Quick check - yup! I have three of them squirreled away.

If the original domain.sites is moved, iWeb'll regenerate a new blank one next launch. You can double-click a domain.sites file to open it in iWeb.

Sadly iWeb is a bit of a diode - easy to get from your site file to working html directory - a real pain to get a published site back to something you can edit. Not impossible, but it's like hand-assembling your watch.

Hope this helps.

I followed the path, clicked on the file, but it brought up an empty project.

There is no sign of my web pages, which reside in a Dropbox account and are accessible through my link.

"WireLurker malware hits iOS via OS X"

http://www.itwire.com/business-it-news/security/65985-wirelurker-malware-hits-io s-via-os-x

TL;DR: Trojanised Mac applications install malware that watches for iOS devices connected via USB, and then puts malware onto them, whether or not they have been jailbroken. At this stage the threat seems to be confined to China (though I'd be amazed if the Bad Guys didn't spread their sights wider).

The really paranoid might think Apple did this to convince Mac users to use the Mac App Store as their sole source of software...

Luckily for single users this needs a forced trusted app on the mac then to have ios apps and device profiles pushed out over USB by an enterprise / education deployment system. Server, Configurator, or some 3rd party MDM solution. So for now this malware scheme can't work for a plain old end user. Unless if course you are managing your ios device with these tools instead of iTunes *and* using infected pirated apps.

I consider Mac App Store apps to be inherently benign, but since even Apple's own software can be buggy, i try not to be "the first mouse". As in the early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I added Yosemite and can see iWeb. Used it and updated one of 5 sites. When I select a second site, the one just updated appears. Moved the domain file but no change when opening iWeb to look for a new domain. Went to the Library and the domain that opened was again the last one.

Yes, unfortunately, this is what will happen if you have installed Yosemite, because iWeb cannot open multiple domain.sites files and as you have found, will continue to open the same domain file regardless.

What you need to do is download an application called Domain Cracker or iWeb User Sites. Do a Google search for either or search this forum and there may be links posted to where you can download it, but the application will allow you to open individual domain.sites files - you cannot do this in Yosemite.

I am with you, I love this app. Being a graphic designer, and working like 7 years with Dreamweaver and Flash, iWeb is just a beautiful and humanized tool. Totally perfect for people who are NOT TECHIES.
I hope Apple one day relaunches this wonderful app.
