Can I clone a .mac Homepage to iWeb?

I would like to clone my old .mac Homepage (still active) to iWeb. One complication is some of the links were password protected and I neglected to unprotect them before Homepage went away.

You will eventually be able to access Homepage according to .Mac: System Status says members cannot access the HomePage application and this statement in your Me page:
"*System Status*
MobileMe members may be unable to access groups.mac.com.
MobileMe members cannot access the HomePage application. Service will be restored ASAP. We apologize for any inconvenience.

It just may take a few days. Otherwise you could try copying the Homepage folder for your site from it's current location to the iDisk/Web/Sites folder and see if that might open it up. The URL would be different.

.Mac Homepage vs. iWeb

Prior to upgrading to iLife 06, I uploaded photo albums to my .Mac homepage. Now that I am running iLife 06, by default I can only publish photos from iPhoto using iWeb. I noticed that publishing using iWeb creates a site address of ...web.mac.com/xxxxx. So what happens to my ...homepage.mac.com/xxxxx site? Is this site now defunct because I can't seem to republish existing photo albums to my "homepage" site. Hope this makes sense.

My only complaint so far, aside from the poor blogging implementation, is that when making changes, it republishes all sites, instead of simply republishing the page with the change.
I've tested it with only one site, and now with two, and each change results in iWeb republishing all information, which seems wasteful to me. So, if I have more than one photo page, which I normally do, it wastes time and bandwidth republishing all the pages for all sites, regardless of whether there's any changes.
That's about the only thing I prefer about publishing photos to Homepage, the speed in posting photo sites.
iWeb seems comparable to Macromedia's Contribute product in terms of design and usage (albeit missing Contribute's greater layout flexibility and customization), and certainly its integration with iPhoto and .Mac gives it greater potential.

Can I clone my mac pro 4.1 os 10.6.8 and use it in a macbook pro late 2012(no retina)?

I'm a music producer and work most of the time on a mac Pro 4.1 quad core intel Xeon, Mac OS X 10.6.8.
I just purchased a Macbook Pro 13" (mid 2012) OS X 10.9.3 and my idea was to clone the Mac Pro i use for work and put it on the Macbook so i'd be able to work on the go if needed(same softwares installed,same authorizations, no need to do upgrades, everything working smoothly).
I cloned the Mac Pro HD with ccc and mounted it on the macbook, but it won't boot (the hd was cloned properly cause it boots on the mac pro).
I'd like to know if I'm doing something wrong or if it's just not possible anymore..a friend of mine did the same exact thing on a macbook pro mid 2011(from Mac Pro 4.1) and it worked without any problem..
Thanks in advance

As you know, there is no 10.6.8 disk, but one can clone 10.6.8 into a late 2011 MBP (from an external HDD). Niel mentions a 2012 model, you are the one who speaks of 2011 MBPs. That is why I directed the comment to you.

Can I Transfer Dot Mac Pages to iWeb?

Do any of you know if it is possible to take web pages I created using the online templates with Dot Mac (http://homepage.mac.com/bingalls) and move them into iWeb for editing?
My plan will be to move all of my pages to my own domain but people are used to seeing some pages as they are and I would like to maintain the look and also not have to redo the entire pages such as http://homepage.mac.com/bingalls/nasawork/Menu40.html
I searched discussions and help files and could not find documentation.
Thank you for your help!

No. iWeb cannot open or edit .html.

How can I clone my mac mini and MBP daily?

Is there a 3rd party app for regularly syncing my two computers' libraries and prefs? I use .mac, and while that's great for Safari, Mail, Contacts, etc, it can't update changes/additions made to things like iPhoto, iTunes as well as non Apple apps (Quicksilver, 1Password, Firefox, etc). My goal is to use my mini at home, and when I'm away have the exact mirror image on my macbook pro. Is there some app (other than time machine) that does this on an automated basis when both computers are networked?

There's no program to do exactly what you want and further, I strongly urge you to cut back your expectations. Let me illustrate the problem. Say you buy a couple new songs using your mini and then suddenly get called away and while on the road buy a few more songs. Now you have two different iTunes libraries and no program exists that will parse through the library files to find out what is different in each one and resolve the differences.
I suggest that you take a look at a program such as ChronoSync which can be set up to keep specific folders in sync. Use that to keep your word processing and similar folders synced. Let .Mac keep your bookmarks, contacts, and the like synced. As for iTunes and iPhoto, either be disciplined and use only one computer for additions and manually copy files for addition into their respective libraries or use keep a reminder going in iCal that you added such and such a picture or song. Delete as you copy them.
I've been on this keep two computers up to date merry-go-round since about 1992.

Can I clone one Mac and restore to another?

My wife has a 2005 17" CD MBP running Tiger which has seen better days and will probably soon give up the ghost. As a short term solution I was thinking of making a clone of the hard drive and restoring it onto a spare 2007 15" C2D MBP that we have.
Will this work or will the different chipsets cause problems?
I intend to use superduper as I already have a licence for this but was wondering if the clone that is made is machine specific, or will it not work because of the different chipsets.
If this doesn't work would another option be to load Tiger onto the spare MBP and then use migration assistant to copy?
Thanks in advance.

Looking at http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/index-macbookpro.html it seems that the MBPs in the year you provide could boot to 10.4.9 As long as you have it at least at that then you probably stand a reasonable chance. While installations are nominally machine specific, I am not sure how much they are really. I have taken drives from one machine and put them in a similar machine (e.g., Quicksilver 2000 to QS 2002) and had them run for years with no issues appear. The only thing you can do is try, but I'd say it had a good chance of working.

AEBS and Comcast (can I clone a MAC address?)

I am currently an Earthlink DSL subscriber. I love Earthink, but DSL is giving me all kinds of trouble. Covad owns the lines in my area and they are aweful... in any case...
I am going to switch to Comcast Cable Broadband. I have set up many people in the area with Comcast and a wireless router. It seems that Comcast does not do this everywhere, but in my area they "bind" to the MAC address of the NIC that you use to setup the connection (MAC Address Authentication).
If I want to use NAT on my router, it will not work unless I can spoof the MAC address. This is easily done with a Netgear or Linksys router. This does not seem to be a setting in the Airport Admin Utility.
Is there a hidden setting or a third party utility that I can use for spoofing the WAN MAC address on my Airport Extreme Base Station?
I could switch to a different wireless router or put a small router between my Cable modem and the AEBS, but I would rather not add a layer of hardware or switch hardware if I don't have to (I really like my AEBS).
Thanks for any advice.
WT

It should be possible, if manual registration of the MAC address of connected equipment is required on Comcast's service in your area, to get them to either clear the binding to allow a new device (ie the Base Station) to associate with the connection, or to ask them to manually register the MAC address of the Base Station's WAN port. I realize you would rather not have to deal with Comcast's tech support people, but (as pointed out above) the only other option is to use a different wireless router that does support MAC address cloning.

How can I make my old Homepage take me directly to my new iWeb site???

Is there I way I can have it so people don't first have to "land on" a .Mac homepage and then push a "button" to get to the new iWeb site?
It would be GREAT if anyone knew a way to do this... I am so excited with my new site, but need it to replace my old .Mac homepage (or at least make it so people are automatically redirected to the new iWeb page)
Anyone have some ideas??

They should go all back into the green Purchased playlist when you make another purchase.
How can I get it back into a playlist other than dragging each song
Make a Smart playlist and set it to Kind contains Purchased, then you won't have to drag any songs.
I have over 3500 purchased
Really?
3500 purchased songs?

IWeb, iPhoto, .Mac Homepage, Photopages and Photocasts

I'm on the Apple dope since about 2003 or so...
Used to one-click publish photo albums from iPhoto that automatically went to my .Mac Homepage. This worked great.
Recently upgraded to a newer generation of iLife - Enter iWeb - and now have a web.mac.com page too. Cool. I even got a Photos page up there too.
The questions...
1) is updating and publishing to the .Mac Homepage from within iPhoto obsolete now?
2) if NOT, how can i continue to utilize it?
3) If i have previously built a photo page on my web.mac.com site using drag-and-drop, and i have a photocast link on my main "welcome" page, will people be subscribed to the page?
4) if it IS that simple, and i later edit the single photo page on the web.mac.com site by dragging another couple of photos to it and selecting "Publish to iWeb", will subscribed ppl get the updates?

From the Apple .Mac website.... quite a while ago:
First: reassurance. The pages you've created and are publishing with HomePage are still available at homepage.mac.com/yourmembername and you can continue to use HomePage to create and publish new pages. But what iWeb makes possible is so good; multiple websites and multiple kinds of web publishing, all made extremely easy; you'll most likely want to take advantage of it.
Not a problem. You can use iWeb as your new .Mac web publishing center and keep your existing HomePage content alive in two different ways. The simplest (and we do mean simple) is to navigate to your HomePage pages in Safari and drag the urls into pages you're creating within iWeb. The link will appear with the name you've given the page in HomePage. When you publish, any links you've dragged in will take visitors to those pages.
The other way is also simple. Just republish the pages with iWeb. The same photo album you used the iPhoto HomePage button to publish can either be republished directly out of iPhoto again or dragged straight from iWeb's integrated iLife media browser. The photos will appear instantly. Just click Publish when you're done and announce the event to your audience.
Added benefit: The new slideshow that accompanies iWeb-published photo pages is an extra pleasure to view and use.

IWeb or .Mac Homepage

I'm new to website publishing, and am wondering what the pros/cons are to iWeb and .mac homepage? How are they different? Which one is better and why?

IWeb should be a .Mac homepage client software...

iWeb using a different webpage address for .Mac users, that make some trouble to people, cause they are the two sites on .Mac by one user. If I have my homepage on "homepage.mac.com", what URL I should tell my friends? iWeb can refer to a "homepage.mac.com" page, but .mac homepage can't do that. this means that I should tell the new URL to friends if I use iWeb homepage.
I hope they are the same URL, that will make it simply.

JT, If I'm understanding you correctly, you think that .Mac and iWeb should be more integrated, inasmuch as your website address(es) are concerned.
In my view, Apple dropped the ball on this one. It should have integrated dot Mac and iWeb so that those of us with existing dot Mac addresses would have had more integration between our now TWO or more sites. We are left, essentially, with two separate entities.
What i've done on mine is post a link to my existing dot Mac site, and on my dot Mac site, I've done a separate page with the direct link to my new site and an explanation of why there are two websites for me now. It is the first page that visitors see in the dot Mac main menu.
The other part to this is that I like both websites, but would like to incorporate the features of both into one. Apple flunked on this one. Eventually, I hope to move everything over to iWeb, and I think Apple is heading in this direction, because imo Apple would have made it easier to integrate the two if it wanted two separate entities in the first place - a company known for thinking different and thinking ahead.
Having said all that, my iWeb site is getting to look really good. I find it much like Photoshop - building the site with layers, images, etc.
For now, at least, we have no alternative but to hand out two different URLs as well as an explanation of why there are two or more!

HomePage (.Mac) incompatible with iWeb?

I've recently published a site on iWeb. And now when I go to my .Mac homepage, the pages I had previously published on HomePage, even though they still show up on the list, resolve to a "Sorry...We Can't Find This Page" deadend. Fooling around with a variety of things, I have drawn the conclusion that it's an either/or situation. If my most recently published site is iWeb, it works and the HomePage sites don't. And vice versa.
Any wisdom out there?
Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

No, this is not correct. iWeb will not affect previously published Homepages. Your Homepages are kept in your Sites folder on your iDisk; iWeb creates and publishes to a completely different folder named for the application.
If you can mount your iDisk and still see your pages in your Sites folder, then you can still visit them. It may be that you just entered the url incorrectly. To see exactly what is on your iDisk, use the Go menu in Finder and follow this path:
Go>iDisk/MyiDisk/Sites/YourSitesAreHere to verify your Homepages
Go>iDisk/MyiDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/YourSitesAreHere to verify your iWeb pages
The urls are:
homepage.mac.com/username/nameofsite for Homepages in the Sites folder.
web.mac.com/username/iWeb/nameofsite for iWeb pages in the iWeb folder.

How merge iWeb with .mac HomePage?

I'm having difficulties on merging iWeb photos I published into my .mac homepage which I already have lot of pics in there. I want people to continue looking at my pictures.
On my .mac account when I log in on Safari, I noticed the homepage galleries are separated from the iWeb I published. How can I merge these two together??
Please help! I'm starting to "regret" that I installed iLife '06. This is not any simple as Apple said so.

Sherry:
You can edit and add to existing homepages via the .Mac site thru Safari or your web browser. You'd have to manually add photo files to the folder holding the photo files for a particular web page and then go the the .Mac homepage site, select that page and do an edit. You can also create new homepages with the older themes manually.
It is a shame you can't use the two together. the iWeb selection of theses is rather limited compared to Homepage. Good luck.

Hey, can i clone my Macbook Pro internal hard drive and then paste it all onto a formated external hard drive, then make the Mac use the external as the primary hard drive?

hey, can i clone my Macbook Pro internal hard drive and then paste it all onto a formated external hard drive, then make the Mac use the external as the primary hard drive? please help for i only have around 618mb left out of 189GB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If what doesn't work?
If cloning your internal drive to the external drive is not successful, I expect CCC will tell you so. Assuming that doesn't happen, you will have a bootable replica of the internal drive on the external drive once CCC has finished.
You can then do any of several things:
1. Replace your internal drive with a much larger one (320GB or 500GB, or even larger), and clone the external drive's contents onto the new drive so you'll have all your data in one place. Note that if you do this, you'll also need to buy an external drive that's large enough to back the new internal drive up on.
2. Boot from the external drive as a temporary measure while you clear at least 30-40GB of data off the internal drive, allowing you to keep using it and saving small amounts of data to it. The external drive will then contain the only copies of the files you've deleted from the internal drive, so you'll need a seond external drive large enough to back both the other drives up on.
If you can't comfortably clear a minimum of 30GB off the internal drive, you really need a larger internal drive right now, and you shouldn't bother fooling around with the inadequate one you have — you'll just quickly overfill it again.
3. Replace the optical drive in your MBP with a large conventional hard drive, giving you two hard drives inside the machine. You will then need one or more external drives large enough to back up both of the internal drives.
If you sense a theme here — back up, back up, back up — you are correct. It's flat-out foolhardy to own or use a computer without maintaining complete, up-to-date backups of everything at all times.

Can not publish to .mac, iweb 08 freezes

A couple of days ago I attempted to update my .mac site using iWeb 08 and got an error message saying that the .mac servers were not responding or something along those lines. Tonight I tried again and this time iWeb just freezes up when trying to connecto to my .mac account. These last two times when I've tried to update was the only time I've ever seen the "connecting to .mac account" small popup come up after I select Publish to .mac account. Before (unless my memory fails me), it just went straight to uploading.
I just tried going to the .mac site via apple.com and I couldn't even login. Guessing my problem has something to do with this.
Anyone else having problems with their .mac account?

I just tried going to my iDisk from System Preferences/Internet & Network/.Mac and am getting a connection problem notice.
However, I can get to my iDisk from Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites and...
