Configuring Domain (enom domain) in iWeb with MobileMe

I have my domain set up fine in iWeb and it is redirecting but I can't get the DNS admin stuff right in enom to forward my website.
Is anyone familiar with what is needed on an enom account? I purchased the domain via Google Apps. I disabled the current content from the domain.

Under most DNS settings there should be somewhere that says create a new CNAME. Do this and then there should be an alias or something similar. Set your alias as your domain name (www), then CNAME and then your host should be web.me.com.
Have a look and see if any of these options exist. Most domain registrars/hosts work in a similar fashion but are all slightly different.

  • HT1107 Since Mobile Me is moving to iCloud, how do you publish a domain in iweb with iCloud?

    Hello,
    I am trying to set up iWeb to publish to my own domain, and see info about doing that with Mobile Me, but since Mobile Me is moving to iCloud, how do you set it up with iCloud?  I just want to be able to publish my website directly to my own domain with iWeb.  Thanks!

    As you now know iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.

    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    NOTE: the iLife 11 boxed version Is no longer available at the online Apple Store.  To get a copy you'll have to try Amazon.com or eBay.com.

  • How does 1Web Personal Domain really work with MobileMe?

    I'm reading the steps of iMap and the author says "If you domain forward or mask to your .Mac (MobileMe) address, please always use the .Mac (MobileMe) address and not your own domain!" It seems to me that anyone who registers a personal domain name must domain forward or mask. If these instructions are correct, how would one's own domain name ever appear?

    It seems to me that anyone who registers a personal domain name must domain forward or mask.
    That's not correct. iWeb's personal domain feature is designed to use CNAME pointing.

  • Using iWeb with MobileMe family pack

    I just upgraded to the family pack for mobile me. I had been using it for my homepage, but now I'd like to make a homepage for my son, and my wife wants to make a homepage as well.
    How is this handled in iWeb? I don't see a way to tell it where to publish which site when I add a new site.
    What is the easiest way to handle multiple mobile me websites on one mac?
    Thanks.

    Not having used the sharing option since there's only one user on my Mac, I don't know the ins and outs of what you want to do. Terence Develin might. If you want to share the library with all users and have them be able to access the library, import new file and perform edits then the best solution is to put the library on an external HD whose ownership has been set to off. This Apple document explains the process: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users.
    The drive can also be used to backup other files as well.

  • Domain name setup with iWeb 09, MobileMe & Google Apps.

    I purchased a domain (http://tinyurl.com/5v3m3bs) via google, I am hosting the site on my MobileMe (http://tinyurl.com/5vt9qr8) space & am using iWeb09 to edit the website but for the life of me I cannot mask forward using Google Apps from my domain to my MobileMe site.  I have read several articles related to this and seems very confusing.
    Can someone please guide me step-by-step to achieve this?
    Regards

    To set up web forwarding with masking, all you need do is log into your account at your domain name registrar's and then go to the web forwarding section.  Once in web forwarding enable masking and then forward your domain name to web.me.com/username/sitename and that is all you need do. 
    Do remember though that if you have already entered your domain name into your MobileMe account under the personal domain name settings and have set up CNAME forwarding, then you cannot have masked web forwarding as well.
    You need to do one or the other, but NOT both.  Decide what you want and what is more important to you and set this up - if you want masking then just follow the steps above and mask and forward your domain name to web.me.com/username/sitename - you need to be more specific with this.

  • IWeb own domain name blocked on MobileMe

    Dear Apple experts,
    I had a website created via iweb, hosted at apple with its own domain name www.onetobe.be I didn't manage this myself and the person who do it forgot to cancel the site before mobileme closure and even if the CNAME has been modified at the registrar, the domain still point to mobileme. The new web site works with the root name onetobe.be but any configuration I set at the registrar give either mobileme closed page or nothing. Who can I contact to cancel all registration of this site on apple system.
    Thank you

    Dear Wyodor,
    Thank you for your swift and polite answer, I'm not an expert, So sorry if I look like a "rtfm" guy, but this is the reason why I asked for help.
    I'm a great apple fan and I was very sad when apple turned down these so useful and easy services such as iweb, idisk, gallery. It seems to me that the "digital me" concept of late M. Job is, well, changing now.
    the new web site system for my site (wix) seems to give kind of the same option as redirecting the own domain name to the actual real web site at this wix provider.
    If I set the forwarding for onetobe.be to only http://oliviervanhorenbek0.wix.com/onetobe it doesn't work
    So I'll asked the registrar how I can un-masquerade the www.onetobe.be.
    Any additionnal info for how I can configure the domain "properly" will help me.
    Thank you again for your time.

  • If I use my own domain with mobileme, does it work with google search?

    I've noticed something, I used to only access my page with web.me.com/NAME and it shows up relatively at the top of of the google search results when I search for NAME or things related to me.
    Since then I have started using my own domain which I have bought from godaddy.com. Now I'm not sure if I am doing it right, but at godaddy, I setup this forward to web.me.com/NAME as a 301 site move. When I type in my own domain, it gets redirected ok but the problem is it never shows up in google. It doesn't show up if i search for "mydomainname" or "mydomainname.com" or anything.
    Any ideas? Does forwarding (cloak) does not work with search engines?

    You are referring to IP addresses and Nameservers. You DON'T need these if you are using CNAME forwarding. They are not required.
    Normally, when you set up CNAME forwarding you would delete the A record and set-up CNAME in its place. At least this is what I had to do when I used CNAME forwarding with MobileMe. I went to my DNS settings and there were A records against both @ and www. I had to delete both of these and set up new records, one for @ with CNAME that pointed to web.me.com and then the other for www, CNAME that also pointed to web.me.com.
    What you have done sounds right, in that your domain name is pointing to web.me.com that is where your new website is with iWeb/MobileMe.
    I think your problem is due to your old website that you created with Microsoft Office Live. You seem to have used the same domain name with this? If so, have you deleted your old site that you created with Microsoft Office Live?
    I don't quite know how Microsoft Office Live works, but I know that you can create a site with them quite quickly using their templates and colour themes, although it is limited as to what you can do and probably is not as good as iWeb. Did you register the domain name through them and then publish? How do you publish to their server? You need to remove this site totally from the server so that your domain name will just be linked to your iWeb/MobileMe site.
    I think the problem lies with your old site and Microsoft Office Live rather than your CNAME settings at GoDaddy. Investigate this first.

  • I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Help please

    I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it?

    In Lion the Finder folder is now invisible.  To make it permanetely visible enter the following in the Terminal applicaiton window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time 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 applicaiton.
    Just launch the applicaiton, 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.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate

  • Keeping Domain Name Email Address After Hosting With MobileMe

    Hi,
    I am looking for any advice with regard to my website, which I now host with MobileMe. Prior to the transfer I had a Domain specific email address, which I now can no longer use. I receive the emails, but when it comes to answering, I can only answer as my .Mac account name.
    Can anyone help, as my previous Domain holder wants about US$100/year to maintain this facility?
    Cheers,

    Whether you get e-mails from the type of [email protected] or not depends on your domain registrar.
    What you're paying now is also the hosting which is needed to have real mailboxes.
    Usually at domain registrars you get MailForwards which means that I send e-mails at [email protected] which forwards e-mails to another address like [email protected] and you can set [email protected] to be forwarded to another e-mail (if you want). So basically MailForwards aren't real e-mails themselves. You can also set *@yourdomain.com so all e-mails sent to no matter which e-mail @yourdomain.com gets sent to [email protected] (no matter what people put in front of the @yourdomain.com).
    The problem is that if you set up CNAME for your domain usually E-Mail gets broken. But there’s a trick to avoid that (pointed out to by Earl and originally posted by Seanomich on the Apple Discussion Forums). Mainly that’s it:
    1. www.yourdomain.com is different from yourdomain.com
    2. Domain registrars handle them as completely different
    3. The trick is to set up CNAME for www.yourdomain.com (as of Chapter 2 of this page)
    4. For yourdomain.com set up a WebForward instead (as of Chapter 1 of this page) pointing it to www.yourdomain.com
    5. Now yourdomain.com is free to be used for e-mails
    If your domain registrar doesn't provide this feature (MailForwards without having to pay the hosting) you could manage your domain using ZoneEdit (which is free) and you will get MailForward e-mails.
    You will then also be able to send e-mails from [email protected]. All you need to do is write [email protected] in the Preferences of the Mail application where it says E-mail (same on the iPhone). In addition to that if you use a gmail address as real address behind the [email protected] MailForward you will also be able to send e-mails from the web as [email protected] since it allows to apply aliases.
    Bottom line: you can have e-mails like you want
    If MailForward isn’t enough for you, you probably need a hosting package (other than MobileMe) along with your domain and that's where you have to pay the 100$ a year...

  • Publish my own domain with MobileMe, but redirect to iDisk

    I followed the steps from Apple: added my domain in MobileMe site and changed "www" CNAME to "web.me.com." with my registrar. After publishing my own domain with MobileMe, my site was redirected to iDisk. Anything I did wrong? Thanks for advise!

    Hey Paul, I got my problem resolved. I used some capital letters when setting up my personal domain name in MobileMe "Personal Domain". I changed them all to lower case, published my site again and voila. All is good!!

  • Personal Domain still linked to MobileMe

    I have my personal domain set to forward to my facebook account. However, since it use to be linked to an iWeb-designed webpage, it still seems to be linked to MobileMe for some reason. I deleted the personal domain option from my MobileMe account but for some reason everytime I go to my personal domain it says I'm linked to Me.com. Any suggestions?

    Have you deleted the site itself from your iDisk/MobileMe account?
    Have you been to your domain name registrar and deleted the CNAME settings that you set up when you first used your domain name with MobileMe? If not, then you need to go back and do this. It is not just your MobileMe account that you need to alter.

  • I cannot publish my to personal domain from iWeb via the publish button.

    Ive registered the domain at mobile me and entered the cname at the registrar and still nothing. when i publish and its done i go to visit now and the site comes up but when i hit a link from somewhere else like google, i get the old unupdated site.

    Firstly, no you do not register a domain name at MobileMe. MobileMe does not register domain names, it just hosts them. So what you actually did was enter your domain name into your MobileMe account under the Personal domain name settings.
    Have you checked for sure that you have set up CNAME forwarding correctly? Check that you have as you need to forward your domain name (alias) to web.me.com (host).
    Sometimes CNAME forwarding can take a little time, so you might find that your updated site is there now. What you can do however is go back into iWeb and publish the site again, so click publish all to MobileMe and this might work having set up to connect with your domain name.
    You could also go and check your iDisk to see if the most current site is in your iWeb sites folder.

  • Delete personal domain from iWeb

    now that .mac moved to .me when ever i post a site it publishes to the personal domain that is listed in my profile but i don't want it published there but rather to the automatic url that mac provides (i.e. http://web.mac.com/username/Site...)
    how do i removed a personal domain from my profile?
    i found no preferences within iweb to do this, nor was i able to do it when i log into my mobile me settings (there i see the personal domain but no way to remove it)
    thanks!

    Do you have a domain name that you have set up with iWeb and MobileMe? If you linked that name to just the default MobileMe URL, http://web.mac.com/username/, then any new site that is published will become the default that the domain name sends you to. You need to point the domain name to the specific site, http://web.mac.com/username/yoursite_foldername/index.html, in order to isolate the other sites from your domain name.

  • How do I get site analytics with iWeb 09 MobileMe Rage iWeb SEO tool?

    I have two sites of consideration both registered and forwarded from GoDaddy:
    bicycedriver.com    several pages
    bicycledriver.org     just one page
    I was not getting site analytics data on referring sites and search engine/keyword data with code applied to bicycledriver.COM. Thats the site I'm interested in getting data. Then with the iWeb SEO tool, I accidentally applied the StatCounter and Godaddy Site Analytics code to bicycledriver.ORG, another one of several sites.
    Now I get referring sites and searchengine/keyword data on bicycledriver.ORG but NOT on bicycledriver.COM  
    Should I find some way to reverse the above situation,... what would that be, or can someone tell me what's going on and how to fix it?
    David

    Ethmoid:
    You're right.  I did know that, got it from this post by Akdream but miscopied it to my note pad where I copy and paste.  Thanks. 
    bicycledriver:
    There is no performance difference between CNAME and regular URL forwarding.  But if you mask with URL forwarding then the restrictions that Ethmoid pointed out come into play. 
    The drawback to using domain name forwarding with masking:
    Visitors can only enter your web site via the first page.
    Visitors can only bookmark the first page of your site.
    If a visitor refreshes a page they will be taken back to the first page of the site.k
    Search engines will only be able to use the first page of your site for indexing and rating your site.
    #4 is a big drawback.  That can seriously minimize what search engines can learn about your site.
