In what has become almost a yearly tradition for iWeb users when Apple releases a new version of its Mac Operating System there’s always the possibility that iWeb will no longer function with the new OS. This possibility arose again earlier this week with the release of macOS Mojave to the public. Apple is currently transitioning macOS to work with only 64 bit applications but iWeb is only a 32 bit application first created in 2006. iWeb’s last update was to version 3.0.4 in July 2011. Seven years is a long time in the world of Tech.

Download Note: If you already have Mojave installed in your mac and what to update to the latest version download 'Update for Mojave 10.14 or later'. If you can any previous version of macOS. Still, for those getting new Macs this downgrade solution may be essential. One should take care to buy a new Mac, like the iMacs, that are still Mojave compatible. If you can afford a Mac Pro, chances are you can afford all the new software you’ll need, so you won’t have to worry about downgrading. For quite some time now, many Apple users have noted that they have been unable to download macOS Mojave or Catalina, for whatever reasons successfully. When trying to download the application, they find themselves with a 22 MB file instead of the full 6 GB Mojave App. Well, the 22 MB mini-installer work pretty well.

Why is iWeb Affected?
Apple signposted the end of 32 bit application support in its WWDC stating that macOS Mojave will be the last macOS to support 32 bit apps. macOS Mojave will warn you when you launch a 32 bit app that it is not optimized for your Mac and should be updated. As Apple discontinued iWeb in 2011 there won’t be any new iWeb updates.

Whilst macOS high Sierra only showed a one time message when opening a 32 bit app, macOS Mojave will show you the warning message every 30 days when launching apps such as iWeb. In this way Apple is trying to remind and encourage app users to either update their app software or find suitable alternatives.

When does support for 32 bit Apps end?
Whilst Apple states that the transition from 32 bit to 64 bit apps is still underway, it does not commit to any firm dates as to when support for 32 bit apps will cease. However, indicating that macOS Mojave is the last OS to support 32 bit apps seems to indicate that there is about a year to go until new versions of macOS will support only 64 bit apps.

Can I still use iWeb today on macOS Mojave
Yes you can still use iWeb today with macOS Mojave. It even exists with no problem in macOS Mojave’s new Dark Mode. However the the same caveats as they do with macOS High Sierra. You may find that after publishing your website the app crashes. Make sure you save and backup your work regularly just in case your iWeb project gets corrupted in the process. iWeb website data is stored in a file called domain.sites2. This file is located in your user library in the path: Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.

When using iWeb under macOS Mojave you may now find that fonts used in iWeb Templates, such as Handwriting-Dakota, are no longer available in the OS. You’ll see a warning box displayed if any fonts have been removed. If you have access to the font files you can use Font Book to reinstall them on your Mac. Don’t forget to quit and relaunch iWeb after installing fonts.

What Next for iWeb Users?
With only about a year left of 32 bit support, now is a good time to be thinking about transitioning to a new website development tool. As always we recommend EverWeb as it’s the spiritual successor to iWeb sharing a familiar to iWeb user interface, blogging and there’s also a migration service where the EverWeb Team will convert your exiting iWeb site in to an EverWeb project. If you’re interested in a quote for this service just fill out the iWeb to EverWeb Contact Form.

So now is a great time to transition or even just try out the free to use download version of EverWeb.

This article explains how you can fix the software update problem. More specifically, the focus of this article is on what you can do to when your Mac won’t update to the latest version of macOS.

Some Mac users, unfortunately, have been and continue to be affected by various macOS software update issues where they may experience a stalled macOS update. By stalled, we mean that macOS updates won’t download and install successfully.

Sometimes, you may see an error message saying “The macOS installation couldn’t be completed” or “macOS could not be installed on your computer”.

Combo update

You can use a combo update to install Mac updates. Please note that before you continue, you may want to back up your Mac. You can back up with Time Machine or you can use iCloud.

Please note that combo updates let you update your Mac from a prior version of macOS within the same major release. A combo update is a combined update that means that it contains all of the changes since the original release of that major version. This further means that, using a combo update, you can update from macOS 10.15 directly to Mac OS X 10.15.2, skipping the 10.15.1. But you cannot go from, let’s say, 10.14.x to 10.15.x. For example, using a combo update, you cannot upgrade from macOS Mojave to macOS Catalina.

Please note that combo updates are huge. Here is how you can u
