Connection to personal domain

I have my .mac account setup to host a personal domain. I haven't updated it in a month or so. I went (via iPhoto) to add some pictures today, and the site had disappeared. It was gone from the web, and iWeb acted as if it had never been setup before.
Any ideas on how (or if) I can recover my whole web site? I have Timemachine back until January. Does it keep the site on the hd somewhere that i don't know about? If so I can recover it. I just have no idea where to even look.
Todd

It's just disappeared off of iWeb and off of http://toddandkathryn.com (my personal domain).
Did you at one time publish your site to a folder an upload it via ftp to toddandkkathryn.com? Or did you make arrangements with the place which has that name to forward or point the name to your .Mac site? At the moment there is no indication of either of these being done.

  • Can't connect to personal domain since iLife upgrade

    I would REALLy appreciate any direction here
    I have a site - www.askkaty2write.com - which I give clients to see my writing samples. I upgraded it iLife09 yesterday and now cannot connect to my personal domain. I get the "Looking for something on Mobile Me" error page. I am totally freaking out.
    I phoned Godaddy, who told me that the domain name is still pointed to the mobileme servers, and really, all that has changed in 24 hours is the upgrade, so it must lie within Apple. I used the online tech support but literally got no where - two different tech people who couldn't help at all.
    Any type of direction would be so very appreciated. thank you!!

    You use URL forwarding to this page that does not exist :
    http://web.me.com/katykrassner/Site3/The_WriteStuff.html
    Your default page in Site_3 is :
    http://web.me.com/katykrassner/Site3/Ask_Katy_2Write.html
    Perhaps using only the Sitename will get you out of trouble when you change/delete pages.:
    http://web.me.com/katykrassner/Site_3/
    If you change/delete the Sitename you will get the same problem.
    One can avoid this kind of "problems" by simple paying attention to what one does, and remember it.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro workstation will not connect to our domain

    My situation has me puzzled.
    I've got a workstation that I want to be added to the domain. I got it added no problems. When I go to login on my own user account on the domain, it works as it should.
    As I hand off this workstation over to a user and had them log into it, they mention that "There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request."
    I checked their group policies on the domain controller and its setup exactly like the others.
    Most of our machines are windows 7 pro, and they all are able to login to the domain just fine; including the person in question from before on a windows 7 pro machine. For some reason however, using the same credentials and same everything else, it refuses
    to attempt to try to connect to our domain.
    If I'm able to connect using windows 8.1 pro on my account, while a normal user can't, I suspect its a group policy issue? The user is a member of "domain user" group so I'd think that would be the only real ticket they would need. Again they can
    use their own credentials under windows 7 pro and connect up fine, and my very own credentials for windows 8.1 pro machine logged in and carried out group policy information as well.
    Well now here is something, just as I was typing this up, I made a test account that has domain admin rights and low and behold, it was able to log in though it doesn't appear that group policy mapped drives or shortcuts were placed.
    I guess the question now is what would a domain admin have over a domain user that would allow a domain admin to log in and not a domain user that is specific to windows 8.1 pro.

    Hi
    Check your DNS settings on the machine. Are you using static entries at all?
    Can you ping the DC from that machine? Also try turning off UAC and check your firewalls.

  • Problem with iWeb after associating a personal domain name with my MobileMe

    I think I did this by the book. I associated my personal domain name with my MobileMe account, then changed the CName pointer at GoDaddy to MobileMe (MM), then went back to MM and hit 'Done'. iWeb now lists my MM account as 'My account name (personal domain name). It took a little while for the DNS pointer to propogate, but now I can go to a browser, type in my personal domain name, and MM delivers my iWeb website as I wanted it to, apparently from my domain, not web.me.com. The problem is, as soon as the DNS propogated, MM delivers my MM site OK, but iWeb can't find the files for it anymore. All my pages immediately went red (unpublished) when I tried to update the site, and any attempt to Publish gives me this error "iWeb couldn’t connect to MobileMe. Make sure your Internet connection works and try again." I'm cable connected to an ADSL router, and Airport connected to a cable router, and neither service has dropped out. I've rebooted, and retried, and the website is up under my own domain, so GoDaddy and MM both got it right. What did I do wrong? Thanks, someone... anyone?

    This is now sort of resolved, but not very satisfactorily. One of the trainers at my local Appple Store found an old support issue in the archives going back to 2008, which blamed security settings for update problems. Coincidental with associating MobileMe with my personal domain, I had checked the privacy box and added an ID and PW to the site. That was the problem, not the personal domain, that was preventing iWeb from finding my MM account. Uncheck that box and my site happily updates. Of course, now I have a site that I cannot make private. In this case, not a show-stopper, but disappointing. I have reported it as a bug in the latest version of iWeb. Thanks for your help.

  • IWEB, CNAME, Personal domain name

    If anyone could provide some advice it would be very much appreciated - Tom thanks for you earlier help. I attach the latest email to Apple Support.
    Hi Arthur, (The Apple Support Consultant)
    We still have the same problems, even after entirely deleting all websites, idisks etc and carrying out the steps you asked (even though this is what we had already explained to you that we had done!). To requalify we have:
    a) Ensured that we have a proper domain name (www.mpi.com.au)
    b) Ensured that we have created a CNAME alias (www.mpi.com.au -> web.mac.com)
    c) Associating the name www.mpi.com.au as our personal domain
    d) Allowed more than 48 hrs
    e) no case sensitivities
    f) publish to site WITHOUT registering www.mpi.com.au to dotmac, works perfectly (ie from web with http://web.mac.com/mpimpi/Sites/index.html and when you log into .mac ([email protected]) and check My Pages, any of the pages work properly.
    g) more interesting is when you log into .mac ([email protected]) after registering www.mpi.com.au as our personal domain and republish whole site and check the account settings personal domain you see www.mpi.com.au listed and when you click on it you see a redirection to web.mac.com and then to http://www.apple.com/dotmac.
    h) Further interesting effects occur when you log into .mac ([email protected]) and check My Pages, any of the pages (ie "About Us" redirects to http://www.mpi.com.au/Sites/About_Us.html) and then to http://www.mac.com/account_error.html. (Apples I'm Sorry - Our records show that the account you're attempting to connect to either does not exist or is currently inactive page).
    i) the account is paid for and appears to be active!
    DNS entries:
    Host Record type Value
    64.13.248.146/24 PTR mpi.com.au.
    ftp.mpi.com.au. CNAME mpi.com.au.
    mail.mpi.com.au. A 64.13.248.146
    mpi.com.au. NS ns.mpi.com.au.
    mpi.com.au. A 64.13.248.146
    mpi.com.au. MX(10) mail.mpi.com.au.
    ns.mpi.com.au. A 64.13.248.146
    webmail.mpi.com.au. A 64.13.248.146
    www.mpi.com.au CNAME web.mac.com.
    Arthur, we realy need to get this resolved can we get developer/senior problem solver assistance. I think that the items points g & h are very relevant!

    After great assistance from Apple (thanks Arthur!!) and our new DNS service provider we have our website online and working as required. The resolution required a switch to another DNS service provider.
    We are now using SecuritySpace (www.securityspace.net, www.securityspace.com). They are extremely competent, very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. I've suggest that Apple list a set of known DNS providers that dotmac clients should deal with. I cc'ed SecuritySpace support on this mail.

  • Personal domain on MobileMe, repetitive URL addresses and personal site?

    Okay, this may be two topics, but I don't know how to describe it briefly enough for the subject line to get it all across. At least not at the end of a long day.
    I have a website I designed and published via iWeb '09 promoting my home motorcycle service. I have the domain name registered through GoDaddy.com. I followed the instructions posted in another thread linked to GoDaddy's MobileMe instructions, and also used MobileMe's personal domain instructions to the point where it appears to work, but I still feel like I'm doing something wrong. The domain name is below.
    www.bltmoto.com
    However, when you type this into a browser, it forwards to my PERSONAL site which is also in the same iWeb file, which is basically just a blog and some pictures. It takes you to:
    http://www.bltmoto.com/crat/HQ.html
    ...when I'm trying to get it to bring up this content:
    http://www.bltmoto.com/BLTMotoService/Home.html
    I was under the assumption that my personal site would remain located within the web.me.com domain, but it appears not if it's part of the same iWeb file. Is this correct? So hypothetically, if I was to get a domain name for my personal site, like www.chrisratledge.com, or whatever, could I get it to work independently of my moto service site within the same iWeb file? Would I have to duplicate the file and delete one of the other ones to keep them separate, or would that not work either? In other words, in iWeb, when you choose "New Site," will it always be like a subdomain (don't know if I'm using that nomenclature correctly) on your account?
    Also, is there a way to truncate my URLs for these sites? Like when I type in www.bltmoto.com, it would exist and displays in the URL field of the browser as:
    http://www.bltmoto.com/Home.html
    instead of:
    http://www.bltmoto.com/BLTMotoService/Home.html
    Also, the page names in iWeb I designate also appear directly as typed in the URL address line and at the top of the browser title bar. Is there a way in iWeb to change this? I'd like the Title bar to display the company name and page info, such as:
    "BLT Moto Service Home"
    instead of just
    "Home"
    Is there a way to change or modify this within iWeb, or is this strictly a HTML code modification?
    I know this is a lot and hopefully I've been clear enough in my description, please help if you can. Thank you

    ...the site that you have published first will be connected to your domain name....If the first site is published first, then this will be the first linked to your domain name and will come up.
    Okay, I figured that may be the case for that issue, shortly after I asked the question, just didn't mess with the order to verify it.
    Basically, iWeb site structure is to produce a url that is http://www.domain.com/sitename/pagename. The only way that you can change this if you are publishing to MME is to change the way in which you forward your domain name - change CNAME to ordinary web forwarding and then your url will be http://www.domain.com for every single page of your site. The only draw back to this is that individual pages of your site cannot be bookmarked, just the whole site.
    Hmm, so I think I see what you're saying about the page structure, so no matter what I do while publishing and hosting on MME, the only way to have my domain name stay "www.bltmoto.com" is to change the CNAME setting on GoDaddy to "ordinary web forwarding" - I have no idea what that is or how to do it - but then every single site and page I publish will only have the "www.bltmoto.com" URL?
    Your only other option is to purchase a hosting account from GoDaddy and upload your site directly - if you do this you can upload just the contents of your site folder rather than the whole folder itself and this will then give you the domain name www.domain.com/pagename. RSS feed will not work though, as you have broken iWeb's site structure and I see that you do use this so it might not be a viable option for you.
    So is there no way to create separate websites with separate domains using iWeb, and publish them to other MME accounts or keep them separate? My dad wants me to put together a site for him that he would publish and host on his MME account. Does this mean I'd have to create it on his machine, or could I create a new iWeb file for his site and publish it to his account from my computer? Suddenly the convenience appeal of the marketed ability to host personal domain names on MME doesn't seem convenient at all.
    I think maybe you addressed this on my other questions in another thread...

  • Site made with iWeb using personal domain name

    I have created a web site on iWeb 08 and have a personal domain name through Network Solutions.
    The website was published to Mobile Me after "set up personal domain" was done. The C Name record was changed at Network Solutions to web.me.com. When I write the domain name in the browser a box comes down asking "idisk.mac.com" wants user name and password.
    1. Why is it asking for this?
    2. every ID and Password I put in, it tells me is incorrect? Ahhhhhhhh What does it want from me?
    Please help - I've waisted so much time on this (since last week).
    The website name is www.theplazarealty.com is you want to take a look.
    Thank you

    This relates to a problem I can't find in the iWeb manual. Where is my iWeb site actually published to, so I can accurately update it using FTP software, and which method to use for publishing it to domain names?
    I have created two websites for two different purposes each with a personal domain (one hosted, the other with webforwarding), and through ignorance have done all three options Publish to MobileMe / Publish All to MobileMe / and Publish to a folder (my home computer user Sites folder). As a result I have three Sites folders each containing both 'mysites'- Computer/user/Sites/sitename, or iDisk/user/Sites/sitename, or iDisk/user/Web/Sites/sitename - all different sizes, worryingly, leaving me unclear which is doing what. What is the diff between Publish All to MMe and Publish to MMe - they both seem to entail both sites totally republishing even if only one page has changed. Each time, of course, it takes several minutes or more to clear through the publishing process, and then some 20-30mins more to synchronise with FTP before I find out whether I've only used the duff old version after all. What is the difference between the three Sites destination folders? Can the difference be used productively? Should I, eg, ensure my sites exist both on my computer and iDisk as backup?
    Further confusing factor is that when I log into MMe and look at my folders icon on my iDisk, which are Sites and Web/Sites, the contents of the two 'mysites' folders listed under both areas are different from the SITES/iWeb display listed below them, which seems to be a truncated sort of merger of the 'mysites' contents without their separation into two. Is that iWeb item under SITES on the folders page listing a fourth set of the contents,or what?
    Now to synchronising/updating: which Sites folder to use to synchronise the websites with. Can I get updating in sync with republishing? My domain host UKcentric does not provide the CNAME options you have all talked about and they are unobtainable on my hosted domain page. I sent him the web.me.com message as described in the iWeb Personal Domain instrux, but he has persistently instructed me to use FTP software to upload and update the sites. He is not Mac-friendly, he admits. I have now used three programs, ClassicFTP, FileZilla and Cyberduck, all of which seem to be rather different and none of them has told me the sync has completed (the connection drops out, etc - it does take a long time, say 30-40mins to do, and I never know when I "resume" whether it'll pick up where it was or go back to zero start). If I am stuck with this laborious method of regular manual updating, I want to know I am using the correct Sites folder to synchronise the website with. None of this is clarified in the iWeb manual. Can anyone help?

  • 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.

  • Email at personal domain

    I have my personal domain published with iWeb at www.mac.com. I would like to know if I can set up email with my domain name.
    www.name@personal domain.com????

    It is tricky but here is how I did it.
    I use ENOM as a registrar (godaddy should offer the same service) With my registrar, I forward my [email protected] email to my .Mac account email. That is the easy part to figure out. Now all my email from [email protected] goes to my .Mac email account. They next step is to send mail from [email protected] To do this I modifed my .Mac account settings in entourage. I changed the email address to [email protected] and I changed my outgoing SMTP server to the one for my internet service provider (mail.charter.net) (mail.bellsouth.net), etc.
    This makes your .Mac account a shell account it receives mail to itself and mail forwarded from [email protected] but it is not used to send mail back out. That is done by my ISP that doesn't require a secure connection from within its network
    This would not work well for a roaming laptop or if ever wanted to sent mail from your .Mac email address but it works otherwise.

    3. An error comes up saying: "Remote desktop cannot connect to the remote computer for one of the following reasons"
    I've tried the port fowarder, ip-address:3389   but that does not seem to work...
    How can I remotely connect to my pc?

    Are you using the free version. As i know with free version after certain time it stops working. Happened to me in the past.
    I always have a backup remote connection you can try one of these but you need to install these software on the remote machine first. 
    This one is free only for personal use and it works really well. Once configured on both end you have the option of RDP in this software.

    You have transported all your old copies of those applications onto your Mavericks system. You can't do that nor do you have to. Please do a proper reinstall:
    Install or Reinstall Mavericks, Mountain Lion, or Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible

  • How do I publish from iWeb to my personal domain

    Can someone tell me the exact steps I have to take to modify iWeb to publish my albums to my Personl domain. I found some instaruction about going to my domain cPanel and adding a new CNAME. The problem is that it asks for a NAME and a CNAME and I don't know what to put there. Now do I know to modify iWeb to replce the std "gallery.me.com"   I don't know what to change that too.
    My cPanel  asks for...
    Add a CNAME Record
    Name:
    CNAME:
    If my domanname is www.peter.com, what do I use in the name field ?  What should the CNAME be also ?
    This is supposed to, after correcting iWeb, allow and iWeb publish to my personal domain.
    Can anyone help me withthis?
    TIA,
    Peter

    Your original post did not in fact state anywhere that you had a MobileMe account.
    Also, you seem to be getting a little confused here with terminology which does make a difference.
    Rather than a domain, what you in fact have is a domain name that is registered through hostpapa.com - it is not hosted as you say, but registered with them.
    Also, iWeb will not and does not 'publish directly to your own domain'.  iWeb cannot publish to a domain name or anything - you need a hosting account to be able to publish a website - do you have this?  If not, then you will need to purcahse hosting too.
    So, if you want to publish your site directly to hostpapa instead of MobileMe, then CNAME is NOT involved in this at all - you DON'T need it.  CNAME is only a method of forwarding that you would use to forward your domain name to web.me.com when published on MobileMe.  If you do not want to use MobileMe any longer, then you don't need this.
    So you say that you have registered a domain name with hostpapa?  Do you also have a hosting account with them too if they provide hosting?  If not, then you need to purcahse a hosting account from either them or some other company that provides hosting. 
    When you have your hosting account and assuming that you are using iWeb 09, open iWeb and then click on your site name and your publishing options with become available in the drop down menu - rather than picking publish to MobileMe, select the publish to ftp option instead and fill in your details such as ftp name, username and password and then upload your site after testing your connection.
    If you are using iWeb 08, then you'll need to publish to a local folder and use Cyberduck or Yummy ftp etc to upload your site to your server instead.
    CNAME is not involved and if you purcahse hosting from another company other than hostpapa, then you will probably have to alter your nameservers so that they point to where your site is now hosted.
    If you want to ditch MobileMe, then you don't need to use CNAME at all - it just isn't involved here.

  • Personal domain name

    I was setting my personal domain name up but when I got to step 2 where you have to contact the host provider I had to stop as I didn't have one.
    Question:
    1) My personal domain is www.ephotoplus.com. What I wanted to do is connect a link from www.ephotoplus.com to my web.mac.com/ephotoplus account. So when someone types my old website name it directs them to the .mac site. Is this do-able?
    www.ephotoplus.com - No host provider is hosting this as my website got deleted but I own the name.
    2) I have the subscribe feature on my website right now andmade some changes, but because I typed in www.ephotoplus.com I guess it's trying to go there once theres an updae being done and pops us as an error. So I'd like to delete it but I can't seem to find that Step 1 screen where one types hte personal domain name. Everytime I go back into Setup personal domain, it leads me to step 2. Is the only way to solve this is to remove the subscribe button?
    3) If I'd like to create another website, I'm assuming I choose "New site", but how do I access my original site for updates, it only gives me a save button and not SAVE AS initially so I know what name the file is and where it's located.
    Thx for anyone's help!

    I was setting my personal domain name up but when I got to step 2 where you have to contact the host provider I had to stop as I didn't have one.
    The place you contact is the place where the name is held or registrar. Apple doesn't do that.
    So when someone types my old website name it directs them to the .mac site. Is this do-able?
    Yes.
    Everytime I go back into Setup personal domain, it leads me to step 2.
    Just keep going from there and you will be able to undo your personal domain name setting.
    3) If I'd like to create another website, I'm assuming I choose "New site", but how do I access my original site for updates, it only gives me a save button and not SAVE AS initially so I know what name the file is and where it's located.
    All iWeb sites are saved in the Domain file. Don't delete anything from inside the iWeb app or you will have to do it all over again.

  • Changing personal domain from enom to .mac--what did I leave out?

    Help! I have been reading all of the great advice posted, but am still not having success. I'm sure I probably left something out, but this is what I have done so far:
    I am changing my domain name with enom to .mac and have made the following changes: I have changed the www to web.mac.com/mymembername/iweb/mysitename and chose url redirect. I also put web.mac.com for the cname alias, with mydomain.com (no www) in the address portion. Was I suppose to edit the dns server info by adding the numeric equivalent of my personal domain? Also, I have seen opposing opinions on whether or not to change the A address(s).
    I have also confirmed that .mac recognizes my domain name. However, when I type in my address, it turns into the web.mac....but an Apple error page shows error code #424 trouble syncing...etc. What does that mean?
    By the way, it has been 48 hours since my changes (above.) I would so appreciate some help. Thanks!

    I had already tried that one and got this...
    below is screen shot of what is on the new mac mini
    and what is on the external drive now connected to the new mac mini..
    There are no media files on the mac mini just the library files and on external just media files..

  • How do i add a personal domain to my iWeb site?

    I created a website using iWeb and logged on to mobile me to activate the personal domain I bought. It's asking me to:
    Add Personal Domain
    Before your iWeb site can be viewed at your personal domain, you must complete the following steps:
    Go to your registrar's website. Define web.me.com as the "www" CNAME (alias) for your domain.
    If you need help creating a CNAME, contact your registrar.
    Return to this page and click Done.
    Your registrar can take up to 48 hours to update your domain.
