2 .mac accounts, 2 seperate web sites

So I am using two different .mac accounts because we have the family one so one is for family and the other is my personal. I have an iWeb site built for each.
However, from what I can tell there is no way to publish them seperately.
I've worked around this by:
1. When I want to publish my personal site I need to log into my .mac account and than place that SITE at the top of iWeb to publsih. But it publishes BOTH sites listed anyway.
2. When I want to do the other I have to sign into my other .mac and then switch which SITE is on top.
This is a pain in the arse. AND it means that both of my sites are uploaded to both .macs (using up precious space), that is not cool.
What can I do? Thanks.

What Kyn instructs would even be useful if you decided to only keep ONE .Mac account. But if you have two separate .Mac accounts, you can name your sites whatever you want and publish them independently. Here is what you need to do...
1. Create an additional account on your Mac for your personal site.
2. In this new account, set up the System Preferences so that if reflects your personal .Mac account info. Now launch iWeb. You should see a brand new iWeb window...no sites. Now quit iWeb.
3. Now go back to your "family" account and make a copy of your Domain file (located at Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ folder)...
4. Log in to your personal user account, move this Domain file to the same location but in your new account name.
5. Now launch iWeb and you should see BOTH of your sites...family and personal. Now you can delete the family one and do a publish all to your personal .mac account.
6. Log in to your family user account, launch iWeb and you should see BOTH of your sites...now delete the personal site and do a Publish All to your family .Mac account.
That's it! You have successfully separated your family and personal iWeb sites into their own login accounts on your computer! Now switching back and forth to edit and publish is as simple as login into the particular account on your mac.

  • One .Mac account, 2 iWeb Sites, 2 Computers.

    Ok, I know a lot of questions have been asked about how to manage multiple sites, but I can't seem to find any information about 2 people sharing one .Mac account.
    My husband and I share a .Mac account. We each have our own Apple laptops. We each want our own iWeb site.
    Everytime I create a site, it takes over the one that he already created from HIS computer, and vice versa.
    There doesn't seem to be a way for both of us to have our own sites on one account from 2 separate computers. SO FRUSTRATING.
    Any help would be great, and try to leave as much technical jargon out of it. I'm a self-proclaimed idiot when it comes to computers.
    Thanks, everyone.

    Neisha,
    Another way to achieve what mp is talking about is for you and your husband to each create a one page "site" in iWeb and move it to the top of your site organizer. Put links (image or text) on that page to direct those who visit your short url to the correct site. I would recommend that you each have slightly different names for this site and page.
    You can see an example of what I'm talking about http://web.mac.com/hoovmoss/iWeb/" target="_blank">here.
    If you plan on building additional sites and splitting the domain files on one or more of the laptops to do it, though, you are probably better off using the method that mp suggested above.
    I've been keeping a sites index "site" at the top of each domain file (I have one for each site on the index page), but I'm beginning to find that inconvenient, as I plan on adding at least one more site. Someday soon I'll create a domain file containing only a sites index and then manually replace the index.html file in my idisk as necessary to keep the site index linked to my short url.
    If this is more confusing than helpful, let me know and I'll see if I can be a little clearer.

  • New .Mac account no Web Gallery

    I just got a .Mac account and have been looking at the help videos regarding iPhoto, .Mac, and Web Gallery.
    The help video says there will be a Web Gallery icon in the bottom right of iPhoto beside Mail, Print and Order Prints. Well, it is not there. Does anyone know how to get the icon back or there?
    Denny

    Denny:
    Go to the View->Show in Toolbar menu item and select Web Gallery and any other features you want to show in the toolbar.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Can iWeb Be Used To Create and Edit Completely Seperate Web-Sites/Pages?

    Is it possible to use iWeb to create completely separate web-sites/pages? As far as I can tell even what is called NEW SITE simple creates a new nested SITE folder.
    I want to use iWeb to edit totally separate web-sites.
    I want to be able to make a single word change on my home page without having to upload and replace my entire site.
    My work around for example would be to keep my Photo and Movie Album separate (where most of my memory intensive files reside)from the part of my site which is mostly text. And when I make a single word change to my home page I would simply upload that page. I would have a link from my home page to my Photo and Movie Album - much like I edit web-pages in Dreamweaver.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks.

    The S40 web browser probably can't handle the security of these sites. Try with Opera Mini, it may offer betetr results though I have little experience of it so I can't say for sure.

  • 2 iPhones, 2 Apple IDs, 2 iTune accounts.  With all this how do we sit up two iClould accounts?  Web site won't let me download a 2nd version of iCloud to create a second account.

    With 2 iPhones, 2 Apple IDs and 2 iTune accounts, how do we get separate iCloud accounts?  I have mine set up and working fine.  When I go in to download another version of iCloud, it acts like I need a repair and will not allow me to download a second version.  Can this be done?  Will all our photos now go into one Photo Stream folder? 
    Thanks. Susan

    We have two windows accounts and it worked fine that way, when you log into the other account and go to the iCloud control panel, log in with the second apple ID there. Then you have two separate photo stream folders.

  • Create and manage multiple web sites using iWeb and GoDaddy

    Now that Mobile Me is going away and the other comments in this discussion relate to iwebsites were written several years ago, I am looking for  new and up-to-date information.
    I have been building and maintaining a website using my MobileMe account and porting it over to GoDaddy.
    I need to re-write the site if for no other reason than it is getting cluttered and needs freshining.
    I would also like to create some other seperate web sites with their own URL
    1)  Is iWeb capable of doing this?
    2)  All the information I have found on iWebsites is at least 3 years old and there does not seem to be updates to that software.
    3)  Are there other tools that will allow me to do this?
    And finally, does the group have  any words of wisdom for me.
    Thanks Dunc

    It is now generally acknowledged that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
    Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.
    This might be of some interest to you at this time: Life After MobileMe.
    If you're running or planning on running Lion the following will be of some interest to you:
    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files  Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain. This applicaiton can be use with earlier versions of the OS to select and open multiple domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • Multiple Web Sites with Personal Domain Names - Overview

    I have read through the last 10 pages of these discussions and have almost worked this out, but I need some help.
    Problem:
    I want to publish and edit two separate web sites with their own, individual, personal web addresses
    from the same user account on the same Mac using iWeb '08 (2.0.2) and my .Mac account
    _So far:_
    I have purchased and registered the two domain names (with Cheap-DomainRegistration.com)
    I have configured the CNAME to point to web.mac.com, and "Set up a Personal Domain" in iWeb successfully, but using a separate Mac for each web site.
    The two sites work great.
    _What (I think) I need to know:_
    (excuse me for copying these posts out, but I can't find a way to link them to this post)
    1) Should I be using iWebSites as suggested by Old Toad (posted Jan 24 in response to StAnNe's "Multiple Websites--HELP!!!")?
    I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
    2) Should I be using Mireille's approach (also posted Jan 24 in response to StAnNe's "Multiple Websites--HELP!!!")?
    Yes you are correct in the thought that with a family pack you can use different accounts and that is the easiest way to upload with one click to .mac. But it is still possible to publish differents sites to one .mac account if that is all one has. Even if the sites are in one domain file each purchased mysite.com domain name purchased can be pointed to a different page in the site
    Look at it this way
    Original Poster has
    site1 page 1 page 2 and so on
    then he/she has brothersite page 1 and so on.
    They each have a domain name purchase wherever
    then site1domain.com is forwarded to site 1 page1
    and brotherdomain.com is forwarded to brothersite page 1.
    Even though both sites are in the same file they do not have anything to do with each other.
    This is one possibility there are others but for a novice user this could be the way to go for simplicity.
    (Mireille, if you're there, can you clarify what you said - thank you)
    3) Would I use Roddy's fix (posted Jan 23 in response to canadensis' "Publishing Multiple Websites?")?
    Here's an example of how you can separate two websites that are on the same domain file.
    Quit iWeb
    Create a new folder on your desktop and call it "iWeb Sites".
    Inside this folder create two more - Website A, Website B.
    Go to Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb and copy your domain file - command C
    Paste this into folders A and B - command V - and also paste a copy of it somewhere else - like in Docs - in case you make a mistake!
    Double click the domain file in the folder Website A - this will launch iWeb.
    In the left column, delete site B, save and quit iWeb.
    Double click the domain file in the folder Website B to launch iWeb.
    Delete website A, save and quit.
    Drop the iWeb sites folder into your Home Folder.
    If you want quick access to this folder you can highlight it and do command L to create an alias to leave on the desktop.
    From now on, to launch any site in iWeb you open its folder in the iWebsites folder and double click the domain file.
    This is not necessary when you are working on only one site as iWeb saves the domain file of the last site you were working on to Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb. When you open the iWeb application, the last site you worked on will be launched.
    Summary:
    I'm not sure if some of the answers in previous discussions allow for personal domain names, which is what I need.
    I would be very grateful for any suggestions as I'm getting bogged down.
    Many Thanks,
    Jeff

    When you said, "you don't need to do CNAME for both sites…", would this method still allow me to use personal web addresses for both sites?
    Yes. With "Ordinary Forwarding" you normally just type your .Mac url (web.mac.com/username/sitename) into a form at the place where you have your name.
    I thought I was using 'web.mac.com' as the 'www' CNAME (alias) for my personal domain name (web address), so that when someone typed in my personal domain name they would 'go' to the domain registration location, which would then pass it on to the .Mac server, where my web site is hosted.
    That's exactly right. It's just not the only way to do that. Ordinary Forwarding is another way, but it differs in terms of what appears in the address bar of the browser. Either you will see web.mac.com/username/.... or, if you add "masking", you will see your personal name for all pages. The CNAME method results in a address bar that reads www.myname.com/sitename/pagename.html.
    Am I way off?

  • Multiple domains names and web sites with only one SLS and one static IP

    I tried to find a post on this topic but I still can't find what needs to be done.
    SLS is configured for one domain with one web site and it's working well. We will call it domain1.com. Here is the config:
    Static IP: 69.x.x.x
    DNS setting under Server Admin:
    hostname: server.domain1.com
    Two DNS entries under domain1.com with:
    www - alias - server.domain1.com
    server - Machine - 10.0.1.x (fixe IP for server on LAN)
    Web settings under Server Admin:
    server.domain1.com - 10.0.1.x - Port 80
    Domain1.com is managed with DynDNS Custom DNS Service with 1 record:
    domain1.com - A-record - 69.x.x.x
    I want to host a second domain (for a website) called domain2.com. It's also registred at DynDNS and I have custom DNS setting to configure.
    What's need to be done to have both domains with seperate web site on SLS under DNS and Web settings (beside the fact that I will have 2 different folders with the website files in it). I understand that I will need a new entry in the DNS for the new domain (domain2.com) and also an entry in the Web Service pane. But what are the details.
    Thanks.

  • Creating multiple web sites for separate domain names

    Is it possible to create a different web site using a different web address in IWeb 06? A friend asked me to make a web site for them....can/how do I publish it to a different address?
    Thanks for the help!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The best way is to have a separate domain name for each site you want to manage. When you publish the sites each will have a separate URL. It will be:
    http://web.mac.com/your .Mac account name/the site folder name/index.html
    I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

  • Viewing multiple web sites with iwebsites

    Hi
    I have now downloaded iwebsites, looks fine - thank you. I can create seperate web sites now but when browsing them how can you distinguish them as a unique web address?

  • My GoDaddy hosted, iweb created web site will not open flash

    Hello,
    I'll try to be thorough:
    I created a site with iWeb - It is band site.
    I uploaded/published the site to godaddy.com, along with my URL www.momsgreatweed.com
    If I access the URL from the Mac on which I created the site, it works fine, in SAFARI only (not firefox) even after having emptied the cache.
    On all other computers (Mac and PC) I cannot open the "Tunes" page, which has a flash player and 10 mp3 files.
    I receive the following error:
    To view this page, you must log into area "me.com" on idisk.mac.com:80
    Needless to say, this is making me slightly insane. I can't possibly be the only person to ever experience this issue. I did call GoDaddy "tech support"; but a 30 minute call turned out to be useless.
    Please, before I pull my hair out...any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Be well,

    You pasted the code in the HTML Snippet.
    Upon further inspection I noticed the links to the tunes are wrong too :
