Can I have some iWeb sites on one computer & some on another?

I've been using iWeb to creat both personal and business sites for myself. I've got about six sites and I'd like to control the business ones from my work computer and my personal ones from my home computer. Can I do this? I had copied the files over so that both machines had the same data and I just deleted the personal pages from my work machine. When I went to quit out of iWeb it asked me if I wanted to publish my site which set off a light in my head. Only then did it occur to me that it was going to attempt to republish everyting, this time deleting my personal sites from my .Mac account because this (my work) computer no longer has my personal sites on it. Can someone help? Is there a way to do what I want to do?
Thanks,
Ben

Benjamin,
Yes, you can do what you are looking to do, but it will take a little time and effort to get it set up correctly. You are right that publishing from your work machine will delete your personal sites right now, but that can be fixed fairly easily. I'll walk you through the steps here, but I'd also encourage you to read through ApNewbie's domain splitting guide, too. (and be sure to read my notes at the end before starting this process!)
1.) Copy your domain sites file both of your computers and put them in a safe place.
2) If your iDisk is the desktop of either computer, unmount it.
3) "Publish All" from your work computer. This will delete your home site, but we'll fix that before we are done.
4) On your home computer, delete the work sites from iWeb, then "Publish All" from your home computer. This will delete your work site, but we'll fix that, too.
5) From your work computer, "Publish All" again.
6) From your home computer, "Publish All" again.
7) Check your sites from your browser (don't forget to clear the cache before doing so!)
8) If all is well, you are done; if they still don't all show up, do one more round of "Publish All," and you should be set to go.
9) From here on out, you should be able to use the regular "Publish to .mac" process
Note that the site that shows up at your "short" url (web.mac.com/username) will be the most recently updated site. If this is an issue for you, there are at least two options:
1)create a one-page site in each domain.sites file (home and work) with links to all your sites. Make sure to give this site a different name in each file. (e.g. "siteindexwork" and "siteindexhome." For an example of a site index, look here.
2) follow ApNewbie's directions for domain splitting and on each machine create a separate domain.sites file with just a site index and publish anytime you publish one of the other websites. (Note that if you create this index by copying your other file and deleting existing websites in it you need to do another double round of "Publish All" to get everything up and running.)

Correct, but you shouldn't have them in one library.
Why not?
If you want to use two Apple IDs, you should create a second library for one of these Apple IDs, or another user that uses a different library.
Why?
I have one library with three iTunes accounts (mine and two daughters). No problems at all.

Can I have 2 iTune accounts on one computer

If you both use the same iTunes program, and she downloads some apps on her device and syncs to the shared iTunes program, when you put those apps on your device, you will have to enter her ID and password to update them, etc. I have some of my wifes apps on my devices that I use as well as her, and when I update them, I have to enter her ID and password. All the apps sit in the same folder on iTunes if you share one program, but each app is associated with the ID that downloaded it. Confused? I was when I started to mess with this.

Can I have two address books on one computer

Hi,
I have my standard address book I use and love. I am an artist and forever having to make slide labels. I have used many programs and databases to do this task. To my surprise address book would accomplish this amazing well. I just don't want to combine my art label information with my address stuff? So can I have two address files on one mac?

CC,
you can add a new user account on your Mac (open system preferences / accounts) and start fresh there with an empty AddressBook.
If you want to fill this with a part of your original AB, select those and export as vCards. Drop this export file in your shared folder so you can access that from the new user account. Open AB ther and import the vCards

can i have two itunes accounts on one computer

Hello Barry
It is a yes and no answer. Yes you can but you cannot have them in the same iTunes library or one of the accounts cannot be associated for 90 days. You would need to have either a separate user or separate iTunes library to have both Apple ID’s on the same computer.

Moving iWeb site from one computer to another

Hello,
I tried looking for an answer to this, but couldn't find one that was specific to this question.
I have iWeb on my computer at home, but I've created a site on a friends computer (using iWeb) and want to add this recently created site to my computer at home. I know I can copy the Domain file, but if I put that into my iWeb folder at home, won't that overwrite all the sites I've already created?
My question is: is there anyway to add a previously created site on a different computer to my existing roster of sites created on my home computer?
Thanks!
Blair

Hi Blair,
You cannot combine all the sites into one Domain file, and you would not want to do this anyway, even if you could; and yes, if you place the other Domain into the same path on your home machine, you will replace the Domain file that is there now.
What you should do to manage both sites/Domains from the same machine is change the default location of the Domain files to a folder structure, and manage the Domain files from there.
Create a couple of folders and name them, "Home Domain" and "Friend's Domain", for example. Place the Domains inside of these folders, and when you want to work on sites within a specific Domain just open the respective folder and double-click on the Domain file inside. iWeb will open and you will see the sites contained in that Domain as you have always seen them.
You will be able to move back and forth between these Domains created on different machines very easily this way.

Move iweb site from one computer to different computer?

I have 2 web sites through iWeb on my macbook pro, one mine and one my daughter's. She made hres while we were on vacation (using my laptop). Now that we are home I'd like to move hers to her iMac computer. Is that something easy? I cannot risk losing my site. I suspect there are a million hidden files that will prevent me from doing this?
thanks

What is in the folder within my iDisk->Web->Sites? Is this back-up of my folder you originally directed me to?
NO!! Your iWeb site is not backed up on your iDisk, what you are looking at here is your website, once published by iWeb.
As with all other data, you should backup the iWeb domain file as part of your regular backup schedule.
Unless it has been changed, the .mac backup does not automatically backup your domain file.

How to transfer an iWeb site from one MobileMe account to another.

I am creating an iWeb site for a friend. I am doing this using my mac and my MobileMe account. I understand that the iWeb site assets are all stored in my MobileMe iDisk. I want to take the finished site and transfer it to my friends computer and his MobileMe iDisk so he can manage it from there. How do I do this.

If you have your friends MobileMe login details, then you can publish the site to his MMe account directly from your Mac. Go to System Preferences and log out of your MMe account and then into his and then go back to iWeb and then publish the site directly to his MMe account.
As far as giving him the ability to manage the sites, just give him the relevant domain file for the site. Go to User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites and find the domain file and then you can e-mail it to his Mac and he can then put the domain file in the same place on his Mac.
Whatever you do, don't publish the site to your desktop - you won't be able to do anything with it. It is the domain file that you need if your friend wants to manage and alter the site in any way.

The computer that I had my iphone apps synced to has died and I don't know how to get access to my apps on the new computer. I'm using a Windows pc. I understand that I can only have my apps synced to one computer at a time, but the former pc is dead.

My HP Touchsmart died the other day. My husband works on computers as a hobby and was able to get me up and running on a Dell laptop in no time. I have an iPhone 4s and had all my apps on itunes on my HP. I understand that you can only have your iPhone apps synced to one computer at a time, but what do you do when the computer containing all your info is in unusable condition? I have tried deauthorizing all the computers associated with my account, that did not work. I had this problem once before and finally ( after much blood sweat and tears ) was able to deauthorize the old computer, but it was in working order. Two of the computers that are listed under the iTunes Wi-Fi Sync setting are no longer in use, the HP had my apps synced to it and the other had everything else except my photos, which are on a third computer that is still in use. Please forgive for information overload but am trying to give all the info that I think could be relevant. Your help would be appreciated so much!
Sincerely,
PiPI

How can I have 2 icloud accounts on one computer?

My wife and I both have Iphones and only one computer. We were curious if it is possible to setup up two icloud accounts on the one computer? This would be so we can have the photostream setup up on the computer so we don't always have to sign in and out of the icloud application.

Setup 2 computer user accounts, then setup iCloud in each user account.
