Creating individual websites for Family pack... getting complicated

Dear Forum,
I just purchased a MobileMe family pack so that all of my family members could have their own website. So, now we have 5 difference websites created under iWeb, we want to publish them. But it seems that iWeb is only signed in under the master account (all of the websites list the original email and domain name under "MobileMe account"). How do I (as the family's designated tech rep.) change this? How do I assign a specific account to each website? I've played around extensively but this one thing eludes me.
~Rogers

I already did that. But when I log in to the account and open iWeb, it still puts it under the wrong Account Email/Domain name. I need to know how to change this. When I open iWeb, and go to the "Site Publishing Settings" it has the master account email listed as well as the incorrect url/domain name. How do I change this to make sure I don't overwrite the wrong website?

  • Is there an apple app for creating a website for family

    I am looking to create a website for family members as we have move OS. could someone please help me out.

    iWeb does exist, but Apple no longer sells it or supports it and has not done so for the past 2 years now.  If you wanted iWeb, then you would have to purchase it from Amazon as an iLife 09 or 11 boxed set.
    There are lots of other alternatives out there that work with a Mac, so go and take a look at RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express 6, Flux 4, WebAcappella 4 and EverWeb at http://www.everwebapp.com. EverWeb is the most like iWeb that you will get.
    With most of these you can download and try before you buy.
    There are plenty of alternatives out there - just take a look.

  • 2 websites using family pack

    I have an existing site using my mobile me and I'm using a mask from Go Daddy-so when people type in my non-.mac site, it goes to my Go Daddy URL (even though its being hosted by mobile me). Anyway, I recently upgraded to a mobile me family pack so I can add a new site. Again, I bought a url from Go Daddy and now i want to create a new site using iweb and use my mobile me to host that new site (in addition to the existing site).
    What is the procedure for this? I was going to use my laptop to do the second site so there are no conflicts (and so I dont have to create a new user on my tower) but I don't know how to create a new site without overwriting the existing one.
    thanks.

    The easiest way to do that is create a new user account on your Mac just for the second web site and MMe account. Then go to the second account, log into the second MMe account, launch iWeb and create your second site, publish and set GoDaddy to point to it.
    Enable fast user switching so you can quickly switch accounts when you want to edit the second site.

    FWIW you can have multiple web siteS in one MMe account using domain names.
    Multiple Sites in a Single MobileMe Account with Domain Name(s)
    Here's how to have multiple sites in a single MMe account with one or more sites having a domain name.
    A. All sites are in the same Domain.sites2 files
    1 - only one site can use the CNAME method of domain name forwarding and it must the top site in the left hand pane of iWeb.
    Click to view full size
    2 - the other sites must use URL domain name forwarding which directs the domain name to the site's full MMe URL, http://web.me.com/MMeUsername/SiteName, or, if there is no domain name, just MobileMe's full URL.
    B. Each site is in its own Domain.sites2 file.
    Again, only one site can use CNAME forwarding. This presents a problem since CNAME forwarding directs the domain name to the basic MMe account URL: http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/ which uses an index.html file in the root folder of the account, iDisk/Web/Sites. Each time a new site is published or an existing site uses the File->Publish Entire Site a new index.html file is created in that root directory, iDisk/Web/Sites folder, directing the browser to that particular site. This file is what the CNAME method uses to find the site it represents.
    Therefore some steps must be taken to assure that the index.html file in the MMe Accounts root directory always points to the correct site. This can be accomplished is three ways.
    1 - don't use the CNAME method. Just use URL forwarding . This, IMO, is the simplest method as it doesn't requre any additional effort on the user once the domain name has been set up.
    2 - use the following method suggested by Wyodor in this topic: Is it possible to have multiple sites when using ur Domain name?
    In iWeb domainfile 1:
    Create a dummy site : _dummy
    with a blank page.
    Create your working site : Whatever
    Add pages
    Publish both Sites to the same same location on the same server.
    Your _dummy site is now the default Site.
    Check.
    In iWeb domainfile 2:
    Create/Use your CurrentSite.
    Move a page to the top of the Site and back. Publish the Site.
    iWeb will create a new index.html file in the root of the server and from now on CurrentSite is the default site.
    Check.
    From now on, never move your Whatever Site to the top of the list in the iWeb sidebar and never change the page in the _dummy site.
    Simply do not touch your _dummy ever again. And never forget that.
    3 - use Ethomid's suggested method in Using two sites - setting one up with separate domain? or republishing the entire site that uses CNAME forwarding. Just making a minor change and publishing the site changes does not create a new index.html file.
    The entire site must be republsihing in order to get that new site.
    Or keep a copy of the CNAME site's index.html file on your Mac and replace it manually in the iDisk/Web/Sites fodler when necessary.
    NOTE: the CNAME method provides a shorter URL: http://www.yourdomainname.com/SiteName/PageName. CNAME does not have masking.
    The URL forwarding displays the full MMe URL: http://web.me.com/MMeUsername/Site_Name/PageName. With domain name masking that will be shortened to http://www.yourdomainname.com for every page of your site. However, visitors will only be able to bookmark the first page of the site and enter from the first page of the site.

  • How do I create individual URL for the pages within an Adobe Muse site?

    Could someone tell me how I can create separate URL addresses for each page within a site? I think it's in Page Properties, but I can't figure out how to do it.

    Your website is actually hosted at http://kcronaphotography.free.fr
    If you visit that URL, clicking on the other pages will change the URL displayed in the browser.
    Your individual pages are available at URLs like: http://kcronaphotography.free.fr/about.html
    www.karincrona.com is just a wrapper page containing a frameset that hosts your real pages in frames.
    It appears that this page was generated by a tool called "ORT - Ovh Redirect Technology".
    Displaying the pages inside a frame will not change the URL displayed in the web browser.
    If you'd like your page to have nice URLs like www.karincrona.com/about.html, you'll need to get rid of the frame wrapper, and move the domain name to the webhost where your pages are being served.
    If you want to keep the wrapper page, you may want to investigate if the ORT tool you're using provides any way of getting a URL to an individual page to show in the browser bar.

  • OS X Server & creating a website for a small business.

    I am a small business owner with limited computer skills. I would like to know if downloading the OS X Server App from the App Store will enable me to host my own website using iWeb to create it? Building the website seems professional and easy enough using iWeb but I lack the knowledge to publish it having never done it before. My business has a website already which is hosted through the website designer but I like the flexibility of updating it myself. How tricky is it to do? Are there any guides, tips, suggestions or pitfalls I should be aware of?

    This is centrally a question of where you want to spend your time.
    Are you interested in learning about DNS and IP and networking and troubleshooting and security and maybe also DMZs and VPNs?   About keeping the riffraff off your server?   Basically, do you want to be IT here?  If you do, then OS X Server does quite well, and it's not particularly difficult to deal with — this difficulty factor as servers go, that is.  Servers are inherently more involved and more complex than clients.
    If you'd rather not be IT here, then either using a tool like Sandvox or hosting your site via a content management system would be preferable; there are shared hosting services around which offer WordPress or Drupal or other content-management system hosting — I'd tend to go with a CMS and not iWeb, but there are various hosting services where you can upload your website.  They will typically deal with web server and the mail server and DNS and backups and the rest for you.  These hosted services are inexpensive, too.  I presently use MacHighway for some hosting (disclaimer: no financial connections, except as a customer).
    If you want to split the difference here between running your own and outsourcing this, then you might want to enlist some help to get things set up and running, and to help you learn where the problem areas are, and that you can call when something goes sideways.  Or you can work with your web designer to migrate into a content management system (if that's not what you're using already), and where the web designer can deal with various parts of the presentation and the content and related, and you can also access and update content via the web interface.   If you want to experiment with a CMS, WordPress and Drupal offer hosting (via WordPress.Com and Drupal.Com), as do other entities.
    Linc Davis is quite correct, too: the Internet can be unforgiving of mistakes with servers.  This can be why you might want to invest in a good firewall with a DMZ and a dedicated server, for instance.  Should the riffraff breach the web server, they're hopefully still contained by the DMZ and thus don't have the run of your business network.

  • Creating a website for a newspaper

    Good morning:
    I am looking to take my weekly newspaper online in 2008. I
    use Adobe Indesign and Pagemaker for the complete printed layout.
    I have Adobe Dreamweaver (V8 i think). What is the simplest,
    quickest way to bring this printed pub to the web as an enhancement
    for my readers?
    Thanks,
    Greg Moore

    > Perhaps it outputs
    > it?
    InDesign can output xml.
    Dw can them input the xml into a dw template (if the template
    has editable
    regions for each of the named xml fields)
    another option might to try with GoLive, it would import the
    pdf file and
    produce an html conversion (though it might be a monster of
    page code,
    haven't used it)
    Is it a weekly paper?
    What a small local weekly is doing is they got hosting with a
    "site builder"
    included. Trellix i think. They assign a person to put 2
    stories a week on
    the site using cut 'n paste into a web form. That way they
    have a web
    presence but aren't giving away the entire weekly for free.
    And it's 5
    minutes work to make the updates.

  • Creating website for someone else

    so ... what i would like to do is create a website for an artist friend who is not all that computer literate ... then teach him how to tweak/add new content etc ... we both have macbook pro and iLife09 and mobileme accounts
    what i would like to be able to do in an ideal world is to be able to log into his account and upload stuff so the site is accessed using his URL and for both of us to be able to make changes ... i am thinking that is not going to be able to happen
    i am guessing the right way to do it is to transfer the files to his macbook and upload them from there ... but i would like to be able to tweak and adjust things if he gets stuck
    does anybody have any insight or experience of doing this?
    can i just move files form a folder on my mac to a folder on his and iweb would find them as if they were created on his mac?
    can i then make changes and send him the new page to overwrite the current page?
    am i asking too much of this software?
    input appreciated ... we are both going to be in the same room with our macbooks next week so i need to have some idea what i am doing by then

    That can be done either by the method linked to by Tom or by Old Toad's Tutorial #21 - Managing an iWeb site from multiple Macs with Dropbox.. The only caveat to this method is that both can't be working on the site at the same time if it's in the Dropbox. If you think both might work on the site at the same time the file can be moved out of the Dropbox, edited and then placed back in to transfer to the other computer automatically.

  • How to find out the versions of family pack and mini pack installed?

    There are family pack and mini pack for HRMS.
    How to find out the versions of family pack and mini pack installed
    just by a Unix command or sqlplus Select statement?
    Thanks

    you can get the Minipack version of the products by querying fnd_product_installations or ad_patchdriver_minipks, for family packs you need to query through Metalink, OR if you have u driver file which resides on $AY_TOP/discoverer, looks for the minipacks/familypack version in the driver file.

  • Can I create & publish site for another .Mac user?

    My wife is a .Mac member and I piggybacked a .Mac e-mail address through her account. Now I'm trying to help my father, a recent Mac convert and .Mac member, by creating a website for him with my version of iWeb 08. When I open iWeb on my computer (first time as I've always used Dreamweaver to create websites), I'm locked out of pretty much everything (I'm assuming because I'm not a full .Mac member which it's somehow linking to). If I have my father's .Mac info, can I create a site for him and upload it for him on my computer, and if so, how would I do this?
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    ~Chris

    All you need to do to post to his .Mac account is find out what his .Mac username and password are and input them into the .Mac pane of System Preferences. That will give iWeb access to his .Mac space. If you end up getting your own .Mac at a later time, you will have to change that info in System Prefs.
    I created a separate user on my computer for a 2nd website that I publish for my church. That way I keep all the iWeb and .Mac account info separate without having to jump through any hoops - I just have to switch users.

  • 2 computers & 2 Websites for one iMac Account/one iDisk, strange issues

    Hi. I know this looks like a long post but PLEASE bear with me and read on, I am in desparate need of advice.
    My husband and I share one .mac account, which we've had for a couple of years now. We've used it to publish countless homepage pages with movies and pictures with no problem.
    We have 2 computers in the house. The desktop is an iMac (dome base) and the other is an iBook. With iLife '05 and homepage, editing pages was not a problem from either computer. That's the beauty of .mac and iDisk, right?
    Now, with iWeb, we have an issue. I built a website with podcast using iWeb and Garage Band (thanks to help from advice here) and even successfully puchased a domain name and redirected it to that site. I worked on the desktop.
    It can be found here:
    www.clevelandcelticpodcast.com
    Just after I finished and pointed the domain name, my husband created another website for school. (He is a teacher.) He used iWeb and the iBook laptop. His can be found here:
    http://web.mac.com/elmhead/iWeb
    NOW, HERE'S THE PROBLEM
    When I open iWeb on the desktop, only my site shows up in the site organizer bar. When he opens iWeb on the laptop, only his site shows up in the organizer bar.
    Yet, any time I try to make a change to my page, these things now happen:
    1. The changes look like they are applied before publishing
    2. Publishing upload bar appears as normal
    3. "Announce/Visit" window that pops up points to HIS website, not mine
    4. When I go to my website on my own by typing in domain name, no changes are shown
    5. His site does not point to any of my pages and seems to work fine.
    Please note, when I go to the .mac homepage and log in, all my homepage sites are still listed... but NEITHER iWeb site is listed!
    Huh? Thanks in advance for any help.
    Wendy

    Problem as I see it is you can't do what you are doing. But let me get it right before I start, you say you are redirecting your site from your own domain name, therefore I assume you are still publishing it to .mac and so is your husband.
    iweb makes a local copy of your site on your mac, which is updated everytime you save, but when you publish it sends data to .mac (straight to it-if you have a local copy of your idisk on your mac, it doesn't put it there)
    All the data you publish goes in a folder called 'Web' (your old homepage stuff goes in a folder called 'Sites'), inside the folder called 'Web' is another folder called 'Sites' (nothing to do with your homepage 'Sites' folder) and inside that is another folder called 'iWeb', this is where all your data goes when you publish.
    When you publish, iWeb creates more folders which it puts in the 'iWeb' folder, (there is likely more than one folder it creates, but that is not relevant for the moment) all your files are placed in these folders except one, which is placed directly in the 'iWeb' folder. This file is called 'index.html', it is always called this, because this is how browsers find your 'home' or start page.
    You may now be able to see what's coming. When your husband publishes his pages, his iWeb also creates a file called 'index.html' which his iWeb also wants to put in the iWeb folder. Result is it overwrites yours, there is no way around this the way you are doing things.
    I would suggest sharing a domain file between you, but since your husband appears to need to work on his site at the same time but in a different location, you would be unable to share it, so I won't even go there.
    There are a couple of workarounds, but I would be inclined for one of you to publish to a folder and upload manually to a folder you have manually created in the 'iWeb' folder on .mac (with a unique name)
    In this example I will use the folder name 'Charlotte'.
    So your husband (say) continues to publish as normal. You mount your idisk and create 'Charlotte', i.e. iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/Charlotte, when you are ready to publish, go to the file menu and choose 'publish to a folder'. It will ask you for a URL, you would type in 'http://web.mac.com/elmhead/iWeb/Charlotte' and you would choose a folder (say) on your desktop (say called 'my site') to publish to.
    Once you have published you would need to upload everything inside 'my site' to your .mac account, which you could do by placing everything inside 'my site' into Web/Sites/iWeb/Charlotte on a local copy of your idisk and syncing or use something like 'transmit' or 'captainftp'
    You would get to your husbands site from the address he is using now, you would get to yours using 'http://web.mac.com/elmhead/iWeb/Charlotte', you would also need to redirect to this address from your new domain name.

  • How can I tell if an install DVD is a family pack or a single-user?

    I'm now running Tiger, and want to install Leopard. I can't go to Snow Leopard because my processor is powerPC -- not Intel.
    I have purchased a new Leopard install DVD from a seller on Ebay. I paid for a family pack. It does not say "family pack" anywhere on the package, which is sealed in clear plastic. I asked the seller why it didn't show "family pack" anywhere visible on the package. He "guaranteed" that it is a family pack, not a single user license.
    I've looked at a family pack DVD for Tiger and for Snow Leopard. Both show "family pack" on the exterior of the package, but I don't see anything on the face of the DVD.
    Is there anyway that I can confirm whether the seller is being truthful? If I open the package, and it doesn't show anything on the face of the DVD . . . . how can I tell if it really is a family pack?
    Thanks for your help.

    My Leopard came pre-installed, so I don't have a retail package to examine. However, doing a google image search for family packs, I couldn't find any obvious difference on the outside or inside between the two. Here, for example, is someone who says he bought a family pack and photos of the inside of the box including the DVD:
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/robertnelson/2211524221/
    Notice, no "family pack" to be seen anywhere.
    The only difference, as I understand it, between the family pack and the single-user pack is the number of license you pay for. If you paid (a third-party) for a family pack license, then I feel you can in good conscience install the OS on up to five computers in your house or that otherwise meet the terms of use for a family pack. The OS will not seek out duplicate serial numbers on your network or anything like that (even single-user installs rely on the honor system) so you will be fine.
