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.

.Mac pages to iWeb

I came across a description somewhere of converting .Mac pages to iWeb pages. It goes on to say that any photos would benefit from the superior slideshow features of iWeb. However I cannot remember where I have seen it.
The only reference I can see to .Mac now is that you cannot edit .Mac pages with iWeb.
Has anybody seen the above reference or got any suggestions on converting .Mac pages to iWeb pages?
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Jim

Well, I don't think there is a way to convert .Mac Homepage pages into iWeb sites. The bad news is that there currently isn't even support in iWeb to import already published iWeb pages back into editable form by iWeb. So the long and short of it all is that you would have to republish your photo galleries using iWeb in order to take advantage of the "fancier" slideshow feature.
A lot of people who have been using Homepage up till now choose to make links so that visitors can move between the "old" Homepage site and the new iWeb site instead of republishing everything. There's a pretty good tutorial written by our very own willG4pb that walks you through establishing this link between .Mac and iWeb...

I have created a book in Photo Essay that is extra large (10 by 13") and I just realized that I want a 8 1/2"by 11" book. Can I transfer all the pages to the smaller sized book. If so, how? Thanks so much for your help.

I have created an extra large (10"-13") Photo Essay style iBook in Aperture and just realized that all my other iBooks are 8.5"-11". How can I transfer all the formatted pages to the smaller book size without having to start over? Thanks so much for your help.

Apple Phan,
that will require some extra work. If you change the book size, some of your edits will probably be lost, because texts and photos that will not fit the smaller layout will be removed. The best you can do will be to save your current book, so you can compare. Try the following:
Create a PDF preview of the current version of the book and save the PDF, see: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
Duplicate the book: File > Duplicate
Then change the Book Sizeof the copy (from the Theme Button) and compare, what is missing, hopefully not to much.

Using existing .Mac pages in iWeb to personal domain

I've tried to find a way to take my existing .Mac pages and move them to my new domain. I made these pages way back when .Mac first started. Does anyone know if it's possible to bring in your existing .Mac pages, then change them to a personal domain?

Can't be done, as iWeb cannot import anything.
If you have a MobileMe account, then it should be possible to move your homepage and place it in the Sites folder on your iDisk.

How can I transfer apps like 'Pages' and 'Numbers' to my iPhone from my MacBook?

I've been trying to transfer Pages, Numbers and Keynote to my iPhone to save myself the trouble of taking my whole laptop to College with me every day but I don't know how and I'm wondering if I am going to have to buy them from the app store on my phone. I had no problem transfering the apps from my iMac to my MacBook Pro using Bluetooth but my computer and phone don't seem to be having any of that.

OS X apps can't run on an iOS device, and iOS apps can't run on a Mac or PC.
You need to purchase these apps from the app store which are written/optimized for iOS devices.

Can I transfer my web pages from Adobe CS2 golive to Dreamweaver CS5?

I work for a nonprofit organization and we are going to be upgrading from our current website design Adobe Golive CS2 to hopefully a Dreamweaver CS5 and I would like to know if it is at all possible to transfer all our websites pages from golive to dreamweaver cs5 without having to start all over from the beginning? Please help me!!! Thanks

I am currently doing the same thing after holding off for 4 years. This is what I have found out the hard way:
Strip out as much GL stuff as possible, especially GL "Actions" BEFORE you migrate as they will be flatten on your page making it a mess to dicipher later. Better to just add the equivalent DW "Behavior" manually, you will be glad you did as it will leave you with simpler streamlined pages that are easier to understand and also easier for Google to search. And you will also learn DW.
If you are using a template(s) I would seriously suggest that you scrap your GL templates and make new DW templates and apply them to each page over again.
This is the ugly reason that I found out last night. If you ever change your GL created template while in DW (for example to add the location of the SpryAssets) then along with the desired change you will also have the unpleasant experience of all your page titles being changed to the name of the GL created Template page. This will happen even if you make the title tag editable DW style. However any pages retitled AFTER you make <title> editable will NOT be altered if you change the GL created template. This I found out the hard way.
So since I was planning to make a DW template and apply it to all pages on the site anyway I have decided to do the following. Detach all the pages from the GL created template. Make whatever changes I want to individual pages. Then make the DW template and apply it to all pages. My hope is that it will preserve the page <title> and save me some work. I have not tried this so I don't know if it will work or not, but in theory it should.
If you use components then make a "Library" folder in the site root folder and move all your components there and change the extension to ".lbi"; the reason I did this is because while the GL2DW migration moved my templates to the root and renamed them accordingly, it didn't do the same for components.
If you use MenuMachine then I would also suggest that you strip it out. I tried keeping it but regreted it and so went back stripped it out and migrated again. All in all I have already migrated the same site about 7 times and will have to do it agian to take out some GL Actions that I missed before. So don't delete you GL site till you have your DW site going like you want because you may have to make several migration attempts before you get it right.
If you have more questions then you can ask here because several of us are going through this process.

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.
Howard

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.
Read more."
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.

Can't access dot mac sync options in system preferences

Hi,
I noticed that my iMac (G5 - 10.5) was slowing down horribly. In the Activity Monitor it turned out that the dotmacsyncclient was using up 80-90% CPU. Syncing did work. When I wanted to check to .Mac setting I couldn't get into the Sync page. System Pref just crashed.
So I decided to delete all the sync settings from the Library (SyncServ). After a reboot the system seems to works just fine. The syncclient doesn't use up the cPU anymore so that's good.
But I still cannot access the .Mac sync options. System Prefs keep crashing. So not I cannot reset my sycing preferences!
Anyone has any idea how to solve this?
Thanks!
Marco

Well, it's nice to know that I'm not alone in this issue too. This started cropping up after the last major update to Leopard. I cannot reset .Mac sync services either in System Preferences or through the icon in the uppper right hand bar of the screen. Each time gets me a spinning beach ball which hangs the system and causes me to do a Force Quit.
Force Quit always shows it to be a non-responsive program. All other aspects are fine. I've even gone into iSync and reset the preferences there with no apparent change. I have no ideas on this one and have been searching for an answer myself - hopefully someone (or Apple) will have one...crash logs are not giving me anything to point to either...

How I can have a "email this page" in iWeb?

Is it to difficult to have this option in iWeb Blog?
Because visitors ar asking me for this.
They want to recommend my blog to other but in the easiest way possible.
Thank you for your help

Hi, you don't have to put a link on your page. Safari has this function for you. Got to File--> Mail Link To this Page (shortcut is Shift COmmand I) and it will e-mail the link.

Can I transfer my Mac Book Pro's complete Address Book to my Mac Air?

I love the Address Book in my MacBook Pro & keep a lot of data for each person in it. The "Address Book" in my Mac Air is not as complete. Is it possible to copy the entire Mac Address Book to my Air?

Maybe, but if the Mac has Thunderbolt ports, it will probably give you much better results with a TB to HDMI cable such as this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CADYDO
No software, truly a plug and play proposition.

Can't transfer old mac contents to new MBP C2D- Firewire issue?

I started my shiny new MBP and went through the usual stuff, until it asked me to boot my old Powerbook G4 (800mHz) in target mode. The setup program did not detect anything via the FW400 cable.
I went ahead anyway and tried to open it from target mode in the finder, but it does not detect it either.
In Network preferences;Network Port Configurations, the option "Built-in Firewire" is greyed out. What does that mean?
Is there something I am missing? Anyone else having issues with firewire?
thanks
Mikka

I am having a similar problem. The only difference is a Firewire icon shows up on my desk top and I can never open it.

can i transfer my mac app purchases to another apple id

No.
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

Change web page using iweb

How can I change my web page using iweb?

Then you would need to publish to one of the 3 options that iWeb provides. Now, MobileMe ceases to exist come June, 30th. If you do not allready have a 3rd party host you will need to get one.
I use ix webhosting. Their plans start as low as $3.95 USD a month & they have excellant customer service.
