Does iweb only publish to .mac?

can i use iweb to publish to a different host or is it .mac account only?

You can publish your web sites to a folder on your computer and then transfer the files to another web hosting service.
Apple provide details here :-

  • Is iweb only for a Mac account?

    Hi,
    I'm wanting to know if iweb is only for a Mac account. Can you use it if you already have an internet account with another provider?
    Thanks,

    Hi Spiral Girl...
    Along the same lines as what Max has touched on, there are several features that are ".Mac-only", meaning that they will not be available to you if you publish your iWeb pages on a non-.Mac server. Having said that, there are plenty of replacements for all of these "missing" features that even exceed the qualities of the .Mac ones.
    iWeb also makes it pretty straightforward to publish to 3rd party servers. You simply select "Publish to Folder" and then iWeb puts all of your sitefiles in a folder for you...ready to upload. You must then upload the contents of this folder with any FTP program to your server. Pretty straightforward.

  • Adding html to an iWeb site published on .Mac

    I run my music blog entirely through iWeb and .mac, but unfortunately, in order to get my site onto a listing of music blogs, I need to post some .html on it. I tried opening the files on my iDisk but I don't think I was doing it correctly; if anyone could either explain how to do this, or point me towards a thread that does, I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks!

    I use the iWebMore tool which basically post-processes the iWeb produced html to insert your own specific html. Read the manual page, at first it seems a little confusing but in reality it couldnt be simpler.
    Hope this helps!

  • Using iWeb to publish to .mac and separate web page

    Hi all,
    I have a rather complicated question. I am in the process of developing three web pages: 2 pages will be developed with iWeb and hosted off of .mac. For the third website, I have purchased a domain name and would like to publish it with iWeb.
    Is this too complicated?
    How is this done? I have some technical knowledge with regards to website but am new to the apple web publishing world.

    To keep things separate create a new user account on your machine for the non .Mac Site.

  • A warning to those with iWeb not publishing to .mac

    I made a beautiful web site on iWeb, but when I lost my hard drive, even though I saved all my info, I can not restore my web page to the iWeb program! They make it impossible. I was told I should have save my page (not very sympathetic) but I had all the files saved to a folder so I can upload to my server. The thing they don't tell you is that you CAN NOT save in the iWeb format, therefore you can not put it back in once it's deleted! iWeb changes the format to put it in a folder, and they don't tell you that you are forced to use .mac in order to make sure it's not lost. I am so disappointed in Apple lately! I have had four others and never had the trouble I've seen with this iMac. Intel *****!

    {quote}I have had four others and never had the trouble I've seen with this iMac. Intel ***!
    {quote}
    There is nothing any computer company can do to stop a hard drive from failing. That is why everyone is encouraged to backup their information. What does Intel ( a processor manufacturer) have to do with your hard drive problems? You can blame Apple, Intel, or anyone all you want but it certainly is not going to fix any of your problems. Nor are they responsible for your data.
    Again I'm not sure why you are insisting that this is a problem with not having a .Mac/Me account, because you would still be SOL. The iweb data file is stored on your computer.

  • IWeb not publishing movies

    Hey there. I'm new to these forums, so go easy on me. I searched the forums for this topic and didn't find anything related to my problem. Recently, I started using iWeb to build a site, and I had a huge problem, and that problem is that iWeb only publishes some of my movies. Now, the format I've been using is the Apple TV settings in Final Cut Express. I realize that iWeb likes small files for uploading. But, with the formats and files sizes being about the same (150-200 megs) why is this happening? Initially, what I did was delete the movies page, create a new one, and sometimes this would work, but not all the time. That, I think is what is most frustrating - The fact that there is this randomness in troubleshooting. I've brought up the overlay and examined my assets in relation to each other, but I can't see any conflict there. I really don't want to export from Final Cut or Quicktime in a web format, as there is a such a huge loss in quality, obviously. Does anyone know of a workaround to keep these movies in a higher quality and have them be compatible with iWeb. By the way, my iDisk is empty, so that's not the issue either. Thanks in advance for the help.

    Welcome to the discussions. You could try importing your movies into iMovie and then publishing to MobileMe Gallery:
    http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/#mobileme
    Then you can pseudo embed your Gallery movie into your iWeb site — here's a video tutorial briefly showing that about half-way through:
    http://www.apple.com/findouthow/web/iweb08.html#tutorial=livecontent
    ...Visitors will have a full-screen option to view your movies and an advantage for you is that the movies are no longer in iWeb's Domain file — so site re-publishing times are shorter. There's more about MobileMe Gallery here:

  • Publishing to .mac

    I had my website built through iWeb and published to .mac but then my computer seemed to crash (which I thought wasn't supposed to happen with Mac). Anyway, I have finally finished rebuilding it through iWeb and want to publish it but I can never seem to publish the entire site. The first few pages are published but nothing else. I am not sure if it is having trouble because my internet connection is just not fast enough or what. Is there a way to publish a page at a time? Thanks.

    When viewing in Safari have you cleared out its caches and tried again? If that doesn't work and you're only getting those two pages try the following to make sure the site is getting generated completely.
    1 - a publish to a folder on the desktop and check the site with Safari. If all is there continue on to #2.
    2 - mount you iDisk in the Finder, go to the Web/Sites/iWeb folder and look for your site's folder and the index.html file that should be there. Delete both.
    3 - republish your site to .Mac and check with Safari.

  • Does iWeb blogging (comments, etc.) only work when published to .Mac?

    The subject says it all, but I was wondering how well the blog features of iWeb work when publishing to a non-.Mac host.
    Right now I use WordPress for my blog. Is iWeb's blog feature a reasonable alternative?

    The iWeb features which are .Mac only are: Direct one-step uploading, Password protection, Hit counter, Slideshow with viewing controls, and Blog Comments/Searching.

  • IWeb publishing to .Mac/iDisk- interruptions: does connection speed matter?

    Greetings,
    I posted an earlier message somewhere in the iWeb08 forum regarding my suddenly experiencing lack of completion of publishing iWeb site to .Mac. Publishing just stops - no error message comes up. I have however noticed that my internet connection has been also varying in speed - down to a few dozen kbps in the last day, which is when I started experiencing this problem. Does connection speed affect such publishing? in other words, if connection speed goes down tremendously, does publishing to .Mac sort os "times out"???
    Will appreciate input!

    More than likely you are seeing a cached copy of your website. Sometimes this is a local phenomenon and a simple clearing of your browser cache does the trick (Safari>Empty Cache). However sometimes your ISP is the culprit with caching at their level. This seems to be a chronic problem with ISPs in the UK for some reason. And the only thing you can do is to wait it out.
    You can try adding a "?" to the end of your URL to force Safari to fetch a non-locally-cached copy of your site, but even this won't help if your ISP is overzealously caching material.
    Anyone in the UK can shed light on this ISP phenomenon???

  • IWeb page didn't publish to .mac

    I created a web site in iWeb and chose command "publish to .mac" when it was ready. I got an error message saying it didn't publish, but not why. (Yes, I already have a .mac account.)
    The page also does not appear under the URL http://web.mac.com/[YourMemberName]. (With the latter part filled in correctly, minus the brackets.)
    Worst of all, I cannot find the original iWeb site, only the index copy saved as a Safari file, so I can't attempt to republish.
    One, where did my original work go?
    Two, why didn't it publish, and what can I do to fix it?

    To see the problem go to http://web.mac.com/robruhn
    I don't seen any problem. Perhaps it is just your local browser cache? Try clearing your cache and using another browser.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how the pc
    user can form the link?
    http://web.mac.com/robruhn should work just fine, unless the person at the other end is mistyping it or something. I would suggest that you get rid of the space in your site name and republish, as that might cause problems for some systems (i.e. change Site 3 to Site3 or Site-3 or Site_3).

    If the server was sending UTF-8 what would this character appear as?
    You can see this for yourself by going to View > Text Encoding in your browser and setting it to UTF-8.  The characters will disappear.  They normally represent non-break spaces.   When the page is sent (or read) in Latin-1 encoding instead of UTF-8, they appear as Latin characters instead of empty space.
    The different results of PageSpinner are probably because it is using some other encoding like MacRoman.
    If you plug the url into this site it shows the encoding being sent by the server.

  • How does iWeb track files for incremental updates to .mac

    In short, my question is where does iWeb keep track of which pages have been published to .mac so it can make perform an incremental update?
    My father is in Alaska using iWeb 1.1.1 to maintain a blog and photo gallery that, when published to .mac, has grown to just over 100MB. His connection speeds vary from port to port, but are typically around 128k and cut out after a bit of use. The challenge now is that iWeb is trying to upload the entire site which is failing every time due to the internet connection.
    While visiting him, I saved an identical domain.site file to my computer that I would like to publish using my high speed connection. Following this, my goal is to convince his version of iWeb that it has been updated without having to transfer the entire domain.site file and this is the part where I could use some help.
    So far I have published my copy of the site. I have then tried emailing him copies of the files: index.xml.gz, assets.site.plist, ServerCachedResources.plist, sharedassets.plist, and com.apple.iweb.plist which I accessed using the show package contents on the domain.site file. He has transfered these to domain file however it still wants to upload the entire site. Are there any other ideas on where iWeb tracks pages for incremental updates?

  • Publish iWeb 09 site to .Mac?

    Can I publish a site that I made in iWeb 09 to my .Mac address? I need to do this because I cannot get Mobile Me to publish to my personal domain (me.com/username)

    I want to publish a seperate website to .Mac or MobileMe, which means that I want to publish the second website to www.username.com.
    This still makes no sense. If you publish your website to MobileMe/.Mac (they are the same), it will have the url web.me.com/username. Have you had a problem doing this and gotten an error message? What is your username and the name you gave your site inside the iWeb app?
    What is "www.username.com"? Another personal domain name you own?

  • Using iWeb to publish to a non.mac domain

    Can I use iweb to develop a web site and publish to a domain that is not .mac?
    Or can I host a non.mac domain on .mac?

    Can I use iweb to develop a web site and publish to a
    domain that is not .mac?
    Yes, you can. But not directly from iWeb. You will develop your pages in iWeb but the choose the "Publish to Folder" option. This will put all the files necessary for your website in a folder on your hard drive. You will then need to use an FTP program to upload the site files to your 3rd party web host.
    Or can I host a non.mac domain on .mac?
    Yes, you can also do this. You can do your pages in iWeb and then "Publish to .Mac". Then you can use "Domain Forwarding" available from your registrar or some other redirecting html to forward people who type in your domain name to you .Mac iWeb URL.
    Either method will work fine. You will lose out on .Mac specific features (like slideshows, counters, passwords, comments, search) if you host your pages on a 3rd party web host. Also you lose the ability to do incremental uploads (uploading only changed pages) directly from iWeb if you're not using .Mac.
    Good luck to you. If this has been useful information to you, please do me a favor and click the "solved" or "helpful" buttons in the title bar of this reply. Thanks.

  • HT1338 iWeb Google AdSense interfacing. Does it work without a .mac account?

    I'm trying to put in the Google AdSense on my web page but the program is not recognizing my account. Is this and other widgets not available simply because I am not paying for the .mac account?

    1. Do I charge people extra and buy them a .mac
    account so they have their own idisk even though they
    won't need the e-mail and other .mac features?
    I don't think this would be necessary...
    2. Can I create a website for them on iweb, buy a
    domain name for them through godaddy or somewhere,
    publish to a folder, and then upload to a separate
    hosting space...
    Yes. The best thing for you to do would be to get familiar with a program called "iWebSites" ( http://mistergregg.com/cocoadrillosoftware/ ). I'm sure you don't want your personal .Mac website to be mixed in with your client websites. In addition, you will appreciate the ability to be able to publish your various websites INDEPENDENTLY of one another, so that you only publish your personal site to your .Mac account and your client sites individually as needed. iWebSites helps you to create separate Domain files for iWeb so that each website can "live" in its own space and be edited and published separate from every other site.
    But yes, as far as your client websites go, prepare for a new site with iWebSites, design the site in iWeb, then "Publish to Folder" and then register and upload to the appropriate domain name server directory. I think this would be a slick way to run your business....full service, right?
    Let me know if you have any other questions.
