First you will not be able to compile a design to work in the Stratix III family using the web edition of the Quartus II tools. You will need to get a full license for the Quartus II tool to compile a design for the Stratix.

On your second issue. Did you at least run "Analysis & Elaboration" before you tried to assign I/O pins? If not you need to do so Processing -> Start -> Start Analysis & Elaboration". This is to build the database so that Quartus knows what the hierarchy looks like for your design along with the I/O pins.

Hope that helps
