Can I update a blog created in iWeb from another computer?

Hello Forum,
While I am away from my office base, I would like to update my blog (created using iWeb) from another computer. I have a dotmac account.
I thought doing this should pose no problems, but I simply can't figure it out.....
Hope someone can help me out on this one.
Many thanks in advance,
Greg

When you go to .mac and log in, you should see stories there regarding the features of .mac. One of the recent ones (should still be on the front page) is Tech note: Using iWeb on more than one Mac
Underneath this header, you'll find
"All you need to do is quit iWeb (if it’s open), locate the domain.sites file (Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites), and move it to wherever you’re going to use it. Then double-click the file in its new location. iWeb will launch, and you’re done. From then on, iWeb will automatically save your work in the new location, and you’ll be able to publish your site from any Mac that has access to it.
So, if your domain.sites is small enough to fit on your iDisk, you could keep a copy there and use it from any computer that has iWeb 1.1 or later installed to update your blog.

    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    Once you get the domain.sites file copied from your old Mac to the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on your new Mac follow this:
    To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.

    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • Publish iweb from another computer what am I doing wrong?

    I am really struggling here, can someone please explain my problem to me....
    I have two mac laptops with iweb. I asked about publishing my backed up blog on the 2nd mac in case number 1 mac crashes. here was my question...
    how does the new computer know where to publish your site to... is the address in the backup file from the primary computer? if not how do you tell iweb on the second computer where to publish the primary computers site. Bobbie j.
    I followed these instructions from helpers here
    Copy the Domain file to another computer, but not to the default location, and then double-click the Domain file.
    ok I did that but it wants to publish to the number 2 macs iweb address since i'm on that computer so then i was told the following
    It doesn't know where to publish your site, which is why you need to be logged into your Mobile Me account before publishing. All you do is log in and publish and all sites are published to iDisk.
    so I logged into my m. me account and then double clicked on the backup file in finder (flash usb memory backup) and iweb opens with the correct backed up site but it published it to the number 2 computers default iweb site (overwriting its own site with number 1 comp. site) even tho I had logged in to number one comp. iweb account. it was even open as a page under iweb page. help.
    I get how to move my backup web file to a secondary computer but still can't get it to publish to number ones site. what am i missing please, it can't be this hard.
    bobbie j.

    Firstly, iWeb is the tool that you use to create your web site or blog in your case. iWeb does not have any accounts. It is MobileMe that has the accounts and you log into your MMe account and then click publish within iWeb and your site is published through MMe to your iDisk - this is your host. If you publish to MMe, then all your sites and blog are published to your iDisk.
    How many blogs do you want 1 or 2?
    How many mobile me account do you have 1 or 2?
    If you want two separate blogs on two computers, then to be able to publish separately you would need to change the names within iWeb at the top on the left hand side and then publish blog 1 and blog 2 separately. All MMe hosted sites will have the url web.me.com/username/sitename, so either site1 or site2.
    I thought your question was asking how you can update your blog using two computers? If you want the same blog then you can just update from either and then publish. If you want different blog names, then call them blog 1 and 2 and publish.
    Perhaps the easiest way to do this would be to have 2 totally separate MobileMe accounts, 1 for each computer, so that you can log into each MMe account on each computer and keep your blog totally separate - in this case with two MMe accounts you would publish to two iDisks, so you have blog 1 on computer 1 and blog 2 on computer 2, each with their own MMe account.

  • Updating iWeb from another computer?

    I am building my website on my Desktop. I also have iLife 09 on my Macbook Pro as well. Is there a way that I could update my website via my Laptop even though I am building the site on my desktop? This wouldn't be a permanent thing. Just thinking I could update my site while I am on the go rather than wait till I got home to do it on my desktop.
    thanks!

  • Can I use iTunes Match to add songs from another computer

    Now that I have iTunes Match running on my home and work computers can I add songs to my library from either one. I often get (non-iTunes) music while I'm at work and want to put it on my iPhone right away, but since my phone is synced to my computer at home, The only way I've been able to do it is bring the files home, put it on that computer and then load on my iphone. Does iTunes match eleviate this? Is there another way to do it?

    Yes, iTunes Match alleviates this situation.  As long as iTunes on both of your computers is using the same Apple ID, you can add songs to either one, and once they have uploaded to iCloud, they will be available on any of your iDevices AND in iTunes on the other computer.

  • Why Can't I Add Songs To My Ipod From Another Computer Without Erasing The Ones I Already Have?

    I have an "Ipod Touch 4 generation" and I have two computers located in my home. I have authorized both computers for my ipod. Why is that when I go to a computer and authorize it, it will not let me download the songs on that computer, without erasing the ones I have already on my Ipod?

    Hi
    This is because your iPod can only be synced with one computer, not just one iTunes account.

    I'm on my sister's computer, and would like to get into my email to check it. I live in Michigan and am in Florida now. Thank you for any help you can supply for me. NJH

    Hi NancyHoxie,
    Try signing into your email from a private window. [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit]]
    Otherwise I would suggest trying Thunderbird and [[Configuration Options for Accounts]] for how to manage email on the computer. When you are done, you may need to delete the account. (if you want it to be temporary :-))

    How can I save a website created on iweb, but that I no longer have it saved in my computer, so I can open it in my new computer  with iweb
    and republish it on another server, since mobile me would be gone on jun 2012.

    You need the Domain.sites2 file that's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder in order to be able to manage and publish the site from another computer?
    Do you have that file? If you do copy it to the same folder on the other computer and you're ready to go.
    If not then you'll have to recreate the site from scratch.  Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site. 1

  • How can i delete a website made in iWeb from MobileMe but not from iWeb

    The problem is that I have made changes to several pages (almost all of them) on my site and since the changes my site no longer displays correctly in Internet Explorer.
    I have looked in the IE CSS file and the CSS file for IE is completely messed up and would take a long time to correct by correcting the code for every page, so I decided just to delete the whole site from MobileMe and then republish it as a new site, rather then as an altered site.
    The problem is I don't want to delete the site from iWeb, because it has took me months to build it and I don't want to have to start again. I just want to delete the site from MobileMe, so I can republish it as a new site (and hopefully correct the screwed up code).
    So how can I delete a website created in iWeb and published on MobileMe from MobileMe without deleting it from iWeb.
    Huge thanks
    Jay

    Hey thanks for your reply, unfortunately I have already tried to delete my site from iDisk >> Web >> Sites. But it said that i didn't have permission and it wouldn't delete the files.
    I am loged in as an Admin and I still cant delete them
    Thanks again

  • How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I have already? Can anyone help, please?

    How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I already have? Can anyone help, please?

    Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
    The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.  Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it.  Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
    Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site.  If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side.

    Hi Larry, no experience with iWeb, (which is ending soon), but what kind of files & folders does it make locally?
    You need a Wb Hosting service & an ftp client, if you need more info reply with that & what kind of files/folders it made.
