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.

    Yes, you can. Sites published with BusinessCatalyst or to an FTP host can be edited by clients. Here is a short tutorial about the new In-Browser Editing feature: In-browser Editing | Adobe Muse CC tutorials

  • X220 LCD Rear Cover, Lenovo denies the warranty, although it was covered for someone else.

    Hi,
    I have been having EXACTLY the same issue as in this post:
    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X220-Plastic-strip-loose-no-warranty/td-p/7249...
    here are some images of my laptop:

    Here is my story below,
    I left my X220 ( which is just 4 months old) at PERCOM (A Lenovo Partner) in Munich, because of the same reason ( plastic cover loose) and 1 other issue. They took the machine and sent it to the manufacturer and had it tested there and concluded that it was my fault, although I am pretty much sure I have not caused this issue. Besides, PERCOM charges me 100€ to get my laptop back and their reason is that they had to spend time on the device because the defects were mechanical damages by user ( that they claim, but its absolutely not true. )
    So i need your consultation from now on, what could you suggest me to do? They want me to pay them 100€, although I do not have it repaired ( and although I am sure it is a manufactural issue ). I have contacted some magazines already that this is not legitimate and have been waiting for their response.
    I still do not understand how Lenovo can deny the same issue that has been resolved for someone else. Please help.
    what do you suggest me to do from now on?

    Hi eduedix,
    Sorry to read about your situation, why don't you follow dodger_NL's example, which you have read, and escalate the case by creating a complaint?  PERCOM should be able to do this for you or if you wish to you can do it yourself by calling service and quoting the current Call Nr. or your system's type and serial number.
    Out of interest, do you expect the magazines to repair your notebook before you've gone through the "appeals" complaints process or what?  I suggest you open a complaint, it will help you more than the magazines.

  • Why does App Store update ask me for someone else's Apple ID?

    I have 14 Apps that have updates available.  I was able to update a few using my Apple ID.  However, the rest all pop up with a message asking for someone else's Apple ID and Password when I click on Update.
    I know this person but all the apps were downloaded using my Apple ID so I do not understand why it is asking me for his password and showing me his Apple ID.
    I have tried signing off and back on but still get the same results.  This is fairly new problem.  I used to be able to use my own Apple ID to upgrade the apps on my phone.  But not anymore.  I do not have this person's password so I am unable to complete the update.
    Any ideas on how to change this behavior?
    Thanks
    Pvtbear

    Those apps were apparently purchased on the other person's Apple ID or were transferred to your computer from the other person's computer. Those apps are not registered against your Apple ID. Either you use the Apple ID and password of this other person or you purchase the apps using your Apple ID.
    It's simple enough to check your Purchases page in the App Store to see if these apps are listed for you.

    I purchased adobe for someone else.  How do they download it without logging in to my account?

    I will assume you mean Acrobat Standard XI.
    They can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use the serial number you purchased for them to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • HT5557 Is there a way to purchase itunes books for someone else as a gift (Christmas) and give them the codes without automatically downloading the purchase for me? Or is an itunes giftcard the only way to go?

    TV shows will only appear in the cloud if you are in a country where they can be re-downloaded from the store (you can't add them yourself), in which case they will appear in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app for re-downloading. But they will only appear there if you are in a country where they can be re-downloaded, and then only as long as the TV company leaves them in the store (content providers occasionally remove their items).

    Is it possible to transfer songs on iPod to a computer that already has an iTunes profile for someone else? I recently had my laptop stolen so I no longer have iTunes backed up on a computer.

    Do you mean you do not have a backup of your stolen computer?

  • HT1904 if i purchased my device with my money is it legal for someone else to put on the parental controls?

    if i purchased my device with my money is it legal for someone else to put on the parental controls?

    That is an interesting question.  If you are at the "age of majority", then why would you allow someone else to put restrictions on your device..  If it is a condition of your employer to use the device on their network services, then you allow it to use the device for their system.  If you are under the age of majority, and your parents are requiring it, sounds like the parents care.

  • I traded my iphone in and now have a new one (iPhone 5) with the same SIM.  Since, I have had some iMessages meant for someone else and some strange things happening on my phone (applications opening by themselves, calls disappearing from log). Any ideas?

    The answer is very simple: You were not the original owner of the phone. Target sold you a phone that had been returned. You can verify the date of the original sale here: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage. I suspect you will find that the warranty expiration date is not one year from the date that you bought it.

  • Can I purchase an iBook as a gift for someone else?

    Can I purchase an iBook as a gift for someone else?

    If I am sending a book as a gift via iTunes, how does the person open it up in iBooks, if does it automatically open up in iBooks.  I just don't want any difficulty for my father to open and enjoy his book.  Would I be better to just download it directly onto his ipad and not have it as a gift for him, could there be some technical or other difficulties for him?

  • Buying ibook for someone else's ipad

    Is it possible to buy an ibook for someone else's ipad?

    not 100% but if you go to settings and store and change the appleID from theirs to yours in which case you will make all their apps stop working
    which would mean you would have to delete their ibooks app as that would no longer work
    and use app store to redownload the ibook app using your appleid
    buy the book and log out with your appleID in settings -> store
    which of cause would make the ibook app downloaded with your appleID
    stop working when
    the other guys appleID is applied again where the other guy will have to redownload the ibook app to
    be back to the start
    so I believe it can be don but I doubt it's a good path to travel down
