Advice about creating a website(s) with a .Mac Account - Newbie

Hello,
I need some advice about creating a website with a .Mac Account.
The Situation
For my media course we need to create a short film, then brand it, and distribute it along with press releases and press packs. No other group have thought about setting up a website - where it has all the company details, info about the Cast, Crew, Film, and maybe a link to the finished product.
The Problem.
I'm the only one who has an Apple Laptop. We don't want to use the computer at the university as A LOT of students use them and every month or so they're given a clean install.
I've designed my own 'virtual series' website to showcase my screen writing work, but I haven't uploaded it. I was waiting until I finish university in the summer before I activated my 1 year .Mac Account. I have a .Mac Account, which has still got to be activated.
How do i go about creating my 'video production' site, if I've already got my own created and sitting in iWeb?
How could I just 'launch/upload' my 'video production' site without putting my own up as well?
Should we buy a separate .Mac Account?
Oh, and what would the address be, so that we can put them on business cards.
THANKS for any and all help.

Lots of questions... you've come to the right place!

About creating an AJAX page with DML procedures using dynamic actions

About creating an AJAX page with DML procedures in APEX using dynamic actions. Help with limitations.
I want to share my experience, creating AJAX procedures in APEX 4.0.
LIMITATIONS
•     How Can I Hide UPDATE button while I press NEW button. ??
•     How Can I Hide CREATE button while I’m UPDATING A RECORD. ??
•     How can I avoid multiple Inserts or Updates. ??
Here are the steps to create an AJAX Updatable Form using the sample table DEPTS. You can see the demo here: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=15488:1]
1)     Create a blank page
2)     Add a Report Region for departments (It shows the columns deptno, dname and loc).
3)     Add an HTML Region and create the elements to edit a Department.
a.     P1_DEPTNO (Hidden to store PK)
b.     P1_DNAME (Text Field)
c.     P1_LOC (Text Field)
4)     You also have to create a hidden element called P1_ACTION. This will help to trigger dynamic actions to perform DMLs.
5)     Open Page Attributes and in the HTML Header Section include the following code.
<script>
     function doSelect(pId){
          $x_Value(‘P1_DEPTNO’,pId);
          $x_Value(‘P1_ACTION’,’SELECT’);
</script>
6)     Modify the column DEPTNO in the report, to add column link. In the link text you can use #DEPTNO# , in target you must select ‘URL ‘ and in the URL field write javascript:doSelect(#DEPTNO#);
7)     Create the following Buttons in the Form Region.
CANCEL     Redirects to URL: javascript:$x_Value(‘P150_ACTION’,’CANCEL’);
NEW          Redirects to URL: javascript:$x_Value(‘P150_ACTION’,’NEW’);
SAVE          Redirects to URL: javascript:$x_Value(‘P150_ACTION’,’UPDATE’);
CREATE          Redirects to URL: javascript:$x_Value(‘P150_ACTION’,’CREATE’);
8)     Create the following Dynamic Action to Select a Department
Name:     Select Dept
Event:     Change
Selection Type:     Item(s)
Item(s):     P1_ACTION
Condition:     equal to
Value:     SELECT
Action:     Execute PL/SQL Code
PL/SQL Code:
SELECT dname, loc
INTO :P1_DNAME, :P1_LOC
FROM dept
WHERE deptno = :P1_DEPTNO;
Page Items to Submit:     P1_DEPTNO, P1_DNAME, P1_LOC
Don’t include any false action and create the Dynamic Action.
The first limitation, the value of page elements don’t do refresh so I added the following true actions to the dynamic action AFTER Execute PL/SQL Code.
Action:     Set Value
Unmark *‘Fire on page load’* and *‘Stop execution on error’*
Set Type:     PL/SQL Expression
PL/SQL Expression:     :P1_DNAME
Page Items to submit:     (none) (leave it blank)
Affected Elements: Item P1_DNAME
Action:     Set Value
Unmark *‘Fire on page load’* and *‘Stop execution on error’*
Set Type:     PL/SQL Expression
PL/SQL Expression:     :P1_LOC
Page Items to submit:     (none) (leave it blank)
Affected Elements: Item P1_LOC
These actions allow refresh the items display value.
9)     Create the following Dynamic Action to Update a Department
Name:     Update Dept
Event:     Change
Selection Type:     Item(s)
Item(s):     P1_ACTION
Condition:     equal to
Value:     CREATE
Action:     Execute PL/SQL Code
PL/SQL Code:
UPDATE dept SET
dname = :P1_DNAME,
loc = :P1_LOC
WHERE deptno = :P1_DEPTNO;
Page Items to Submit:     P1_DEPTNO, P1_DNAME, P1_LOC
Don’t include any false action and create the Dynamic Action.
Include the following True Actions BEFORE the Execute PL/SQL Code true Action.

Affected Elements: Item P1_LOC
These actions allow refresh the items display value.
Finally to refresh the Departments report, add the following true action at the end
Action:     Refresh
Affected Elements: Region Departments
10)     Create the following Dynamic Action to Create a Department

Affected Elements: Item P1_DEPTNO
Action:     Set Value
Unmark *‘Fire on page load’* and *‘Stop execution on error’*

I want to create a second library with the same account on a separate hard drive....

Hi,
I am running out of room on my iMac to store all of my iTunes music and video. I want to create a second library with the same account on a separate hard drive. Will iTunes Match match both libraries ? Will I be able to acess both libraries from all my devices? Can iTunes Match merge them together so I can have easy access to everything?
Thanks for any advice.

Unfortunately, you can't. The primary address for your iCloud account must be a non-Apple email account. The only exception to this is for former MobileMe subscribers who migrated to iCloud when MobileMe closed, which was 18 months ago.

Change name associated with my mac account

The name associated with my mac account is presently showing as "First Last" when the main account is used for e-mail. I would like to change it to "The Last Names" to connote that this address goes to the family in general. Is there any way to change the display name? I have tried in iCloud browser mail preferences, user accounts system preferences, and have no luck.

Yes I log in directly to iCloud mail on my PC
By that you mean you log into the iCloud.com website? Or are you using an email client like Outlook or Thunderbird?
If you log into iCloud.com in your web browse, What name Appears at the top right corner when in Mail?
If you use an email client which one?

Cannot access shared external hard drive with other mac accounts

I cannot access a shared external hard drive with other mac accounts (all accounts are on the same macbook Pro). The shared external drive is shared via time capsule and is connected (of course) in USB. I see well this external hard drive as a shared disk with my main account. Yes shared option has been activated with the Airport Utility .. but when I open other account these othe accounts can see the external drive but cannot access to its content that is flagged with a no way sign. Strangely enough when I close my main account and start opening a new session with one of the other account then fine I can access the external hard drive and its content .. BUT then it is from my main account than I cannot access its content the no way sign showing ..
Looks like only one account at a time can access the content of this SHARED external hard drive .. any one as an idea on how to really make it a shared hard drive so that all accounts on the same mac can also access it ? I am at my wit ends on this case. THANKS ..

Results of my enquiries at Apple Genius Bar .. the guys found the problem interesting. They've been unable to provide a fix neither to give any explanation as to the reason why. To be fair I was not much impressed by the technical level demonstrated ..
In the mean time I have found that if account no.1 can see the shared external drive content and in such case account no.2 (same Mac computer) cannot see its content (only the external HD with a no way sign) this account no.2 can UNMOUNT (by ejecting) this external HD from account 1 and then remount it (just clicking on the TC shared part in a finder window) and .. see and access its content ; whilst account no.1 cannot see its content anylonger. Unless it unmounts the shared external HD and remount it .. then account no.2 can see its content anylonger. This can goes on an on.
So eventually YES the TC can allow to share a USB external drive between several accounts and a same Mac .. BUT this require to unmount and remount EACH time the external drive is accessed from a "no.2 account". So OK to share files with seldom access but not practical in case of frequent access needed.
I just I have now to figure how iTunes can automatically unmount and remount a shared external HD when it needs to access one of this shared HD content from on time account no.1 and then next time from account no.2. May be I am asking too much ..

.Mac login failed | Computers no longer registered with my .Mac account

Ever since the new year 2007, I can't sync my two computers with my .Mac account. The account, ID, and password still function. However, the computers no longer show up as registered. I have 302 days left on my .Mac account.
I always get a ".Mac login failed" error message. Does this have something to do with the date change.
Any help? I need this function urgently.

I too am having this very same problem. Have you found out how to fix this yet? I cannot sync with my Powerbook laptop or my .Mac account either. It also shows no registered computers when I know I've registered 3 of them. We pay alot of money to have the .Mac account and right now it is USELESS. VERY FRUSTRATED right now!

Does remote sync work on a P990i with a .Mac account?

As there is a sad lack of iSync for the above phone does anyone know if remote sync works on a P990i with a .Mac account?
And if so, what are the settings?
TIA
Alix

The version from Microsoft is very buggy and crashes a lot for me. I've had better luck with CoRD (which crashes on rare occasions) and have compiled the Linux rdesktop, which runs like lightning but doesn't have the nice features of CoRD.

Mail won't sync with my .mac account - won't accept password

I have a MacBook running the OS X 10.6.8. Recently I have found that I cannot sync my Mail with my .mac account. I can log on through the internet to iCloud and read emails (I know my password is valid), but when I try to get them synced to my Mail account it won't accept the password. It looks like this may be a conflict with Mail not being updated to iCloud, but I am unsure. I have not found an update that will update the Mail to link with iCloud. My computer is also not new enough to update to the new Lion OS. Am I stuck? This has been very discouraging and I have been wasting hours of valuable time trying to figure out how to fix this.

Did you turn on iCloud Drive by any chance? If so, then until Yosemite comes out, you won't be able to sync your documents and data to your Mac:

Advices about creating a datasource from an infoset query

Hi all,
i have to create a datasource with extraction from an infoset query in R3, i have many questions:
1- i have heard about the bad performance using a Datasource from an Infoset query, how can i improve this?
2- The infoset query doesnt exist in R3 Develop, but this exist in R3 Prod, what do i must to do? create a false infosetquery in R3 D, with just the same name of the info set query in R3 Prod? or what else?,
3- some material to improve this development about create datasources from an infoset query.
thanks guys!

Hi,
You can verywell use infoset query if you are doing following things
Join using Keyfields to retreive data from tables
If not using keyfields create index for those table fields in those fields which will improve in accessing database
Try to use minimum of tables of small size dont try to join big tables like GLPCA and all.
Try to load small set of data like a period or month. Dont try for a year or so.
if your performance is good for aperiod you can go for a year.
If you are good in function module you can try function module in which you will have the option of specifying no of records to be selected usign package size.
Hope this helps for you.
Thanks,
Arun

Questions about setting up my network with my Mac Pro?

I'm trying to set up my network with my Mac Pro. I have two other roommates that need internet and a printer that we all need to access. The modem is with my Mac Pro in room 1, the printer is with another PC in room 2, and another PC with wifi is in room 3. What is the best way to connect all these.
My idea was to install an Airport card in my Mac Pro, then add an Airport Express station w/airtunes to room 2, to connect the PC and printer. That way, room 3 can access with wifi, and room 2 can physically plug into the Airport Express station. Problem with that is that the Airport Express Card must be professionally installed in my Mac Pro and that $80+ charge on top of the Airport Express and Aiport Card itself, turns this into a $200+ endeavor.
I also have a wireless Linksys router and Linksys WiFi USB receiver. Anybody have any other ideas?
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Your plan wouldn't work anyway. The Mac Pro can not create a WDS compatible wireless network. Therefore the AirPort Express (AX) can not use WDS to wirelessly join the network. Therefore the AX's Ethernet port will not be activated.
The best solution is to buy an inexpensive wireless router [or the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS)]. Connect the Mac Pro via Ethernet to the router. Add a wireless adapter to the PC in room 2. Therefore the PCs will connect wirelessly while the Mac Pro connects via Ethernet.

How to I create a screenshot image with a Mac?

Hi,
I'm relatively new to Macs. I have yet to learn now to make a screenshot image with a Mac. There doesn't seem to be a Print screen button. How do I do this? Can it be done in the Mac OS? Or, is there a need to install some software to do this?
Thanks much!

It's all built in!
Go to the Help menu in Finder and enter 'Screenshot' and press enter.
Lots of articles there, including this one:
To take a picture of the whole screen, press Command-Shift-3.
To take a picture of part of the screen, press Command-Shift-4, then drag to select the area you want in the picture.
To take a picture of a window, the menu bar, the Dock, or other area, press Command-Shift-4, then press the Space bar. Move the pointer over the area you want so that it's highlighted, then click. If you decide you want to drag to select the area, press the Space bar again.
If you press Command-Shift-4 and decide you don't want to take the screen shot, press the Escape key.
Screen shots are saved as files on the desktop. If you want to put the screen shot in the Clipboard, rather than create a file, hold down the Control key when you press the other keys. You can then paste the picture into a document.
You can also take pictures of the screen using the Grab application (in the Utilities folder).
Some applications, such as DVD Player, may not let you take pictures of the screen

How to delete events on iCal that were created many years ago with a MobileMe account?

I have never ending recurring events on iCal that I created years and years ago with my MobileMe account. I don't have access to that email anymore, unfortunately. Is there any way to get rid of these silly things?

Navi,
What Calendars are listed in your sources pane?
Where are they located?
Are you using iCloud?
Backup that specific calendar using Calendar>File>Export>Export..., and save the copy to your Desktop.
What happens if you attempt to delete that specific calendar?

Create on 2 different Macs with one .mac account different websides

I have 2 Macs at different places, I have one .mac-account and I liked to create and publish websides independently on both Macs (for example: I have all my regular websides on my Mac at home, but when I am in my weekend-house, I liked eventually to take some pictures concerning a problem which just arouse, publish it on a quickly created webside and call a friend, so that he is able to have a look at this new webside and give me a comment).
Is it possible to do this without erasing my regular websides that I had already published on my home-Mac ?

I think it should work fine, as long as you give the sites different names.
