Anyone using 1and1? Disappointed in iWeb and MobileMe

I designed a website for my professional services in iWeb but then learned about its limitations here in the Apple discussions. I'm thinking of using 1and1 and their templates. I want to produce brochure ware about my services with an interactive contact us page (iWeb doesn't have and I'd need to add html code/tweak -- seems like form generation ought to be standard) and to have a blog. Fairly simple -- not selling anything online -- although eventually it'll be nice to have a forum or to have blog commenting capability. I'm also hoping that the web host has some decently designed templates.
Has anyone used 1and1 as a webhost? Are you using a Mac friendly web host? What your experiences? I've seen Mac friendly web hosting sites. Any recommendations and words of wisdom are welcomed about what to look for and look-out for when using such services.

What's the point of coming to an iWeb discussion group and asking for information on template based hosting? The whole reason for using iWeb is to allow you the freedom to design as you wish, without having to deal with bland design and restrictive layout. Form generation is standard. iWeb doesn't do it.
I work with several sites that are using a perl script in a cgi-bin directory to handle custom contact forms. I do the actual form in Dreamweaver (there are many other programs that can do this), and paste the code for the form into an HTML widget on a "Contact" page.
After setting up the site for a Mac user with iWeb 09, I provide them with the iWeb site file and tell them to have some fun. Just leave the code alone for the contact form itself. You can change everything else on the site including the Contact Page, as long as you don't mess with the contact form code.
I use Cyberduck to upload the perl script to the cgi-bin directory on a standard linux based hosting site like seanic.net and the user gets to use iWeb to make all of the future updates and new pages when they want.
Dealing with tech support on a hosting site, that doesn't really know how iWeb (or many other site building programs work), will drive you nuts. You may do better to find someone to assist you with your initial domain setup and original site pages so that you can have fun with the design instead of dealing with all of the other issues.

IWeb and MobileMe communication error! How to fix?

During work with iWeb, after I published site on MobileMe, I lost connections with my MM Gallery - widget window says "no movies/albums". Anybody can help?

That happens frequently. One method I have used to bring it back is to close iWeb and
1 - delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
2 - go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
3 - go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
4 - login with a bogus username and password like "Ying" and "Yang". This clears the caches.
5 - login with your correct username and password.
6 - launch iWeb and try again.

IWeb and MobileMe Gallery

I am trying to upload pictures from the MobileMe Gallery. I have albums published but when I move the MobileMe widget to the web page I am creating it reads "No albums or movies". Please help.

I've jumpstarted the MMe widget with the following 2 fixes before:
Try this:
quit iWeb
go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
login with a bogus username and password like "Ying" and "Yang". This clears the caches.
login with your correct username and password.
launch iWeb and try again.
Ahother method that worked one time was:
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
launch iWeb and try again.
HOWEVER, a way to embed your MMe gallery and not worry about fixes is to go online and get the URL of your MMe gallery and plug it into the following code in an HTML snippet:
<script src="http://gallery.mac.com/g/flash/photowidget_iefix.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
writeObj("http://gallery.me.com/MobileMeName/XXXXXX", 226, 199);
</script>
Thanks to Wyodor for the code.
Where XXXXXX is the number of your MobileMe gallery

ICloud, iWeb and MobileMe

I'm now on MobileMe. When I move to iCloud, will I instantly lose the ability to access iWeb and my iWebsites? I have a lot of them!

Firstly, your signature says you have 10.6.8 - is this correct? iCloud requires Lion 10.7.2. If you have that, please amend your signature to prevent confusion. If you don't have Lion you may want to consider upgrading if your Mac meets the specifications.
If you migrate to iCloud your iDisk, website hosting and Gallery will be unaffected and can be accessed exactly as before (the migration process may sign you out in System Preferences>MobileMe and you will need to sign back in).
However MobileMe will be terminated and the contents of your iDisk, including your websites, erased at the end of June. iWeb will work with other hosting services - please see this page:
http://rfwilmut.net.migrate2
If you cannot upgrade to Lion you can still migrate from MobileMe, but only your email will work and you will have to set that up manually: calendar, contacts and bookmarks syncing will not work on Snow Leopard. Please see this page:

Anyone using avast free antivirus program and finding it a good one?

Needing an antivirus program for my Macbook and wondered about downloading the Avast free program. Anyone using it and finding it a good program? Wanted to see if it is too good to be true, especially given the 'price'. Thanks for any response.

Don't waste your money.
There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac will NOT be infected by a virus, it may have other security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.
You may find this User Tip on Viruses, Trojan Detection and Removal, as well as general Internet Security and Privacy, useful: The User Tip seeks to offer guidance on the main security threats and how to avoid them.

Migrating to iWeb and MobileMe

I'm a complete newbie to Mac, but I already have a website and domain. However, the software provider that I used to create the site has gone bust. Is it possible to migrate my domain from my current host to MobileMe? If so, how do I do it?
Thanks very much,
Paul

Paul ~ Welcome to the discussions. As MobileMe doesn't host domain names, the answer is no. But you could publish your current site "as is" to MobileMe:
MobileMe: How to publish a custom website
...and then point your Domain name to it:
_Setting up MobileMe to use a personal domain name_
If you prefer not to publish your current site to MobileMe as a "custom website", bear in mind that iWeb cannot import sites, so you would have to build your current site in iWeb anew — by dragging in text and media, etc.

Domain Name Registry in iWeb and MobileMe

I want to publish a website using MobileMe, and want to use a domain that I have determined is unused. Will MobileMe automatically register that domain when I initially publish it, or do I need to register it first with a third-party domain registry?

Have a look at this page for details.....

Does anyone use Framwork POs for WBS and Asset management.

We have had issues before with trying to use Framework POs for Assets. I wanted to know, does anyone out there use the Framework PO for the creation of Assets with charges going to WBS elements? Do you track service charges as well as material charges that are purchsed for Assets?

For PO, WBS, Asset frame work below is the sample
Create WBS which manage AUC
Example you will create a clinic,
Create Project - [Project Clinic]
Create WBS under the Project Clinic - [Clinic Expense]
Create AUC under WBS Clinic Expense - [Clinic under Construction]
Let say you purchase Paint for the clinic - create a PO and use account assignment WBS [Clinic Expense] (e.g. 1000 USD)
Let say you purchase Wood for the clinic - create a PO and use account assignment WBS [Clinic Expense] (e.g. 2000 USD)
During month end you can settle the amount to AUC (tcocde CJ88 - Settlement type - Automatic)
All charges to WBS will go to AUC
Once construction of clinic is finished and is ready to use, you need to settle all the amount from WBS to AUC (through settlement)
Then create Fixed Asset [Clinic Building]
Then settele the AUC [Clinic under Construction] charges to Fixed Asset [Clinic Building] through CJ88 settlement type - Final settlement
Thanks!

Video on iWeb and MobileMe

I currently have a fishing website under a domain name, hosted by a service. Like most, the hosting service has size and bandwidth limitations based on how much one pays and they also have an adversion to streaming video.
A MobileMe account with my video hosted there would take care of the problem.
Normally if I create a link to a file, the file gets downloaded. I would prefer that the video be played within a video player window on the currently loaded page. I do not want to move the entire site to MobileMe just to solve this problem.
The question: Can I get iWeb to play video directly when the video file is not on the same server or not even in the same subnet?

Yes — see Chapter 4 & 5 here.

IWeb and MobileMe

Finally decided to call Apple last night, I mean thats what AppleCare is for right? Anyways after being passed up the line, I was finally told that the problems would be fixed sometime today. The quote was that the techs would need another 24-36 hours to finish the migration from .mac to mobileme. We'll see, I'm not holding my breath....

I am so furious with apple right now, I would leap at the opportunity to go back to my good old toshiba pc. And you know what? I wouldn't be near as upset if the mac folks were talking. I mean, just say something on your home page apple, say something for gods sake. Saying nothing is just making everyone so angry at you. Even the apple store employees don't have a clue. If you would just let us know you are working on it and tell us what we are seeing is your problem and not ours we would wait more patiently i think. But you have thumbed your nose at your bread and butter and all I can say is I hope you go bankrupt, the sooner the better. Yea, i would miss my mac book, but I would feel so good that you got what you deserved.
People, drop iweb at the very least, and vote with your pocketbooks. Buy nothing at an apple store that you can find elsewhere in a store or on line. and for those who are willing, follow me back to a PC and Blogger. There is nothing more rude than being ignored and you, my friends, are being ignored.
And I wouldn't feel this way if i could go to the apple homepage and find SOMETHING from mac about the problems we are all dealing with and wondering about and for some, losing business money by the second.
Kissing you good bye, you deserve to go under for not talking apple

Anyone using facelets with ADF Faces and myfaces implementation?

There is a Howto document for using facelets with ADF Faces, but it assumes you're using Sun's RI. I'd like to use the Apache myfaces implementation of JSF with ADF and facelets, but I keep getting a NoSuchElementException thrown when the pages are accessed.
Here's the error and stack trace:

I followed Adam Winer's instructions for incorporating ADF with facelets (using Sun's RI) and this works fine. But when I try to swap out the Sun RI for the Apache myfaces 1.1.1 implementation I get the exception.

It doesn't seem to matter whether I use <jsp:root xmlns..> tags or <html xmlns ..> tags or whether I use the facelet ui tags or not. I've tried it with several of the ADF components. I always get the pretty facelets exception at the bottom of the page after the ADF component displays.
Am I missing something? Has anyone gotten these three (ADF w/ myfaces impl and facelets) to work together properly?

Hi,
It is supposed to work fine and is working okay, in general, for me. I was setting up a test app yesterday and logged the steps in my blog (http://www.jroller.com/page/mjdenham). I think I logged everything.

TS3276 PostBox and iCloud - does anyone use pop mail for postbox and icloud? i can't seem to use my MAC pop mail with postbox.

Apple policy of reseting each time you forget an Account ID or Password makes it impossible for me to keep track of my many accounts on Mail. I decided to use PostBox and it's working great except for one account. That account is linked to icloud. I'm not too happy with icloud, in general, but I do want to be able to track my mail on my iphone for that one account (my business account). It used to be that I could use 2 accounts with one - using an alias. Now, I can't do that with icloud, nor can I get it linked to PostBox. Does anyone know what I should do? Am I asking the wrong questions?

I am now on Chapter 3 & 4 - Since this is the ONLY message board I can get into,
& Roger, No, I never had a "mobile me account", if that's a cell phone - wouldn't own one! - IF it was from the Old Tiger mail Ap, I do believe it was discontinued, when they came out with Snow Lion, no? So that's defunct. FYI I got my first computer in 1991 - DOS, good stuff, easy to fix. My first mac in 2006 Tiger, great stuff, loved it. Then Snowleopard, not sure when, maybe '09? it was just before Lion came out, didn't know the new one would come so soon. & in June 2012, first mac crashed, lost a year "unsaved" data.
Q # 1. I can't get into My Account - to get into support & any questions! Somehow all my data is messed up, & I've had to change passwords 3 times today every time I'm "rejected" by my account. I seem to have 3 accounts now, each with a different name Password, & Security Questions! & I've been rejected due to: "Incorrect ID name", "Incorrect Password" & because whatever - doesn't" recognize my birth date" / or "my Security question answers" that I chose - all of which I know are correct. AGUH!
My latest problems:
1) Can you Unzip iPhotos, uploaded from a USB or External Drive (after my SL crashed)? The dpi for these old ones is about 250 x 360 (88 KB) compared to 2448 x 3264 (2.6 MB) for recent ones.
- Do you need a program to do this? Some say there's a "free" program, any good? Can unzip be done to many or 1 at a time? Or is there something I haven't found in iPhoto '11, 9.2.1 (Lion)?
[I now buy new Camera Memory cards & don't delete the photos anymore, since I lost so many.]
2) Can I combine all 3 of my Apple ID info - or at least delete that 4 year old Email address in my profile? (IF I can ever get in. I wrote a "suggestion" to the Apple folks, who said my new Email was on it, & they'd send me an email - but I never got it, guess it went to the old one?

Anyone used both CS3 on PC and MAC ?

Very long time professional user of Premiere on PC platform.
If (and I mean "if") I change from PC to MAC and install CS3, will I be in "very familiar territory" (apart from the OS of course).
I am considering this major step because I may want to run FCP on the same machine. Anyone know if they would co-exist?

I am running both CS3 and FCS2 (FCP6) on a dual Quad MacPro and am not having any issues. To be honest, I haven't had the chance to run PPro that much yet 'cause I'm working on jobs I started in FCP, but the little non-taxing things I have done in PPro have gone well. PPro behaves just as it does on my PC's and seems 'snappy'. Haven't tried every function yet, especially exporting, etc. but seems good so far and identical to PC version in every way I've tried it so far. I think you'll be comfortable in PPro on Mac. I think you'll like OSX too!

Has anyone used appletv with a scaler and/or a HD projector (1080p)

any experiences?
There are reports that apple tv can output 720p but also 1080i.
Confirmations?
thanks
Loris

I use an Anthem Statement D2 with a Gennum VXP video processor.
The Apple TV native output resolution is 720P. It will also scale to 480P and 1080i internally.
The output is much better if you leave it at 720P and let an outboard video processor do any additional conversions.
Hi-def trailers downloaded at 720P/24 are excellent when the Apple TV outputs 720P and the Gennum converts to 1080i to a 55" Fujitsu plasma or to 1080P to a Sony VPL-VW100 projector with a 92" screen. Pretty much the same quality as regular hi-def TV.
Photos are outstanding.
Home videos from a Sony hi-def camcorder (1080i/30) also look fine, although iMovie outputs them at 960 x 540.
Standard-def pictures are OK, but not great.
I've really enjoyed it so far--looking forward to more 720P content...
