Can I use iweb to design a site then upload without .mac?

I already have a domain name, can I use iweb just for designing or do I have to use .mac as a host?

Some tips:

I'm trying to get this working, but it seems iWeb on a non-dotMac server is only up to farily light-weight web pages.
You end up with 3 copies of the site (iWeb, local export, and server). Everytime you update the site, you need to read in the whole thing to iWeb, export the whole iWeb. Then you must either sort out what files have changed and upload only those, or upload the whole thing. For a small site of a few megabytes, this is manageable, but for a large site of a few hundred megabytes or more, this is not feasible.
This is a shame since it is a very nice tool and well integrated with iPhoto.

  • Can I use iSync between Address B and my mobile without .Mac?

    Can I use iSync between Address B and my mobile without .Mac?

    Yes, if you have an iSync supported phone.
    For 10.4+ see here:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html
    plus all the models supported by Phone Plugins from here and here.
    However, for your 10.3.9 Mac, your choices are severely limited:

  • I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Is it necessary to add? If so, how do I add H Tags to iweb.

    I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Are they necessary to add?  Why would one add these tags and how do I add H Tags to iweb? And are there examples to look at? I am slowly learning about simple web design and assumed that iweb was stand alone without having to write code. Is this one of the reasons iweb is no longer supported? Thanks for looking at this!

    A simple text page like this:
    Heading
        sub heading
              text paragraph ....
    Is traditionally represented by html tags like:
    <h1>Heading</h1>
         <h2>sub heading</h2>
              <p>text paragraph ... </p>
    I would guess that the use of h1-h6 tags helps search engines to understand the structure of a page as the tags imply a certain structure.
    This can be compared to more generic tags like <div> that could represent any kind of content - and may be what iWeb uses (you'll have to check yourself).
    I would generally recommend that you use some kind of up to date blog/site building tool, perhaps Wordpress or Squarespace (I haven't used either one myself) that support current web technologies - this should reduce your SEO issues and make it easier to properly support mobile/tablet users.

  • Can I use iWeb to work with live journal?

    Hi! Can I use iWeb to control my livejournal? Style? Design? Posts?
    Thx!

    No, because Google is not a web host in that sense of the word.  Google has free webhosting, but you need to go to Google and sign up for an account and use Google sites to create your site and then publish it.  It is free because it is then published and hosted on the Google server.  You don't have the ability to publish an ordinary iWeb site to a host like this.  It is the same as Weebly where you create your site in the same way or WordPress.com, where your blog or site is hosted on the WordPress.com servers.
    You need to get proper web host such as http://www.hostexcellence.com or http://www.godaddy.com.  Do a search though for the numerous other free web hosts out there - there are more than just Google.

  • Can I use a domain for one site and mobile me for a different site?

    Can I use a domain for one site and mobile me for a different site?
    I have two sites, I would like to have up and I would like to do one through a domain and one through mobileme is this possible?

    Yes you can. You can use the CNAME method of forwarding for the first site (the top site in iWeb) and use the MMe URL for your account for the other site: http://web.me.com/YourAccount_Name/SiteName/

  • I have a domain name with go-daddy can i use iweb to create my page?

    I'm trying to help a friend set-up a website.  he has a domain name with go-daddy but hasnt set-up the web page at all can i use iweb and upload it to the domain name he already has bought?  I'm a first time iweb user please help!!

    Your friend needs both a domain name and a web hosting account in order to get his website online.  If he has both with GoDaddy.com then yes, you can create and upload the site. 
    If he has purchased only a domain name he'll need to get a hosting service.

  • Can I use Iweb for a domain outside MAC?

    Just curious of I can use Iweb to publish a site of my own, not for a .mac account that is held through a go daddy or something like that?

    The issue is that when you go to the site, the web address shows www.modnostalgia.com/www.modnostalgia.com/default.html.
    That is exactly what is supposed to appear in the address bar. The url you give to customers is still
    www.modnostalgia.com
    I tried copying the files from the www.modnostalgia.com folder directly into my public_html folder, but then I have issues because it wants to overwrite the index.html file. What do I do?
    Let it overwrite the index.html file. A different index.html is required if you want that to work. But truncating the structure produced by iWeb that way will make any RSS Subscribe buttons non-functioning, should you choose to have these at some point.

  • Can I use iWeb without .mac?

    I can't figure out if I can create a web site with iWeb without having a .mac account. Apple implies, but is not stating it conclusively, just recommending it:
    "iWeb publishing requires Internet and webserver access (.Mac recommended)".
    I have no need for .mac and have web hosting elsewhere. Does anyone know if I can just use iWeb to create my website and publish elsewhere?

    PS Here's a note on tips for this:

  • Can I use iWeb to "beef up" a facebook fan page?

    I'm a total novice to publishing web sites but I have used iWeb to create a personal web page which is my only experience. So, my question is... can I use iWeb to put content into a facebook fan page I've created? I have FBML on the page if that helps.

    It would be very difficult and definitely not the right program to do it. You would really need a tool that is geared towards generating HTML such as one of these;

    But if there is something specific you would like to do, please me know and there might be a better tool I can recommend.

  • Can I use iWeb to make changes to a website created in Dreamweaver?

    can I use iWeb to make changes to a website created in Dreamweaver? How would I do this? I didn't create the site and don't know Dreamweaver, but I figure I could learn iWeb quickly.

    No, iWeb cannot open or change existing sites no matter what other program created them.

  • I can't use iWeb at all!

    Since I Have my Mac, almost an year ago, i can't use iWeb at all!
    When i open iWeb, shows up the iWeb window, but not the templates list.
    'New Page' and 'New Site' appear in gray.
    And the same happens to the inspectors!
    I don't have a .Mac account, but there is people who did websits with iWeb and saved them into folders. I can't even choose the template!
    I don't need to publish, I just want to create.

    My iLife suit came included with the computer. I can't reinstall, unless I reinstall all Mac OS X!

    i think the first thing to do would be to check with Mackie support. two things noted on Mackie's website:
    DRIVERS::
    No Driver Required for Supported Windows (PC) or OS X (Mac) Versions
    (note "supported")
    and
    For the Mac::
    Mac OS X 10.4.11 – 10.7.1
    ask if their firmware currently supports OS X 10.9.x

    There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
    Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

    In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

  • Can I use iPhone apps. On my new iPad without buying them again?

    Can I use iPhone apps. On my new iPad without buying them again?

    Yes you can (unless they are apps that require the iPhone's full phone capability - I have some apps on my iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch
    If they are designed just for the iPhone/iPod Touch then they will just take up that sized portion of the screen. There will be a '2x' button on the screen, but that effectively just doubles the size of each pixel in both directions, so it may then appear pixelated.
