Hi have a business domain name that i want to swicth over to mobile me add some memory to it. I Already have a site running and it has run it course. Both personal domain goes though different company, one bring network solution and the other active domain. I went and bought iLife 09 for some reason that it would be easier to recreate more personal domain. and I Love apple stuff. When I tried a few months ago with my business one at network at it go so great. We lost are email for a day for so and they told I have to call apple. I quest what I am looking for and going through active domain and how do I set up my company email. I would like to me a informed before I go asking them them some question. How host the email account? How many can I have? I to all the graphics I you for my companies, like logos and and stull just go into my idisk, moble.me account and I get back them up leter? I would be nice the have a personal and companies web site through IWeb. I'm pretty new to to all. Right now my mobile me has my site as HillFamilyFund.com. But I would like my company to come up the same same with [email protected] There it is again. I worried about the email and how many I have. I have been able to find out the setting to tell newtork and Active what I need to do and many them. I'm gone on way too long. Thanks

MobileMe is not suitable for hosting a business website.
You cannot set up web mail and you can only have one "real" domain name redirect.
MobileMe is slow, unreliable and has no tech support.
For a business site you need several web mail addresses that you can redirect to your Mac Mail if you want and you need the ability to have contact forms.
If you want to be found in search engines and optimize your site so that it will download on a PC running Internet Explorer you will find that MobileMe makes this very difficult to achieve compared with using a "real" server.

  • Two websites-one with .Mac and one with .Mac using personal domain

    Good Day All! I know I asked this before but I think the question got wrapped in with another and I don't see that it has been answered. If I overlooked it I apologize for the duplicate post.
    I have a .Mac subscription with one published website already. I am working on another website now in iWeb but I want to publish it using a personal domain name. Can I do this? If so, can I keep them from being linked together?? Does that make sense? Thanks! quinlis

    Aloha,
    if you use CNAME both sites will be reachable using either the CNAME or the web.mac.com/username/ address
    if you use Webforwarding entering the personal domain will get to the site you pointed the domain to
    but that site will also be reachable through web.mac.com/username/sitename/
    I'd recommend you to use webforward with cloaking/masking/framing in your case. Thus the site you want to have the personal domain for will show the personal domain in the browser and will also be reachable through web.mac.com/username/sitename/ but your other website will not be reachable through your personal domain.
    Note that using masking google will not index the content of your pages using your personal domain if you're interested in that.
    Have a look at the following page for further information on setup and knowing what's CNAME, Febforward, Webforward with cloaking
    http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWeb_Domains.html
    I guess the best way would be having a family account or two .mac accounts so you can set it up as CNAME and your other site would be published to another account or sub-account and thus not reachable using your personal domain.

  • Emailing and synching over GSM network (i.e. without wifi)

    My new iPhone emails no problem with WiFi but does not seem to without the Wifi. Do I need to change the settings?
    I also want to synch my contacts and calendar and iTunes (podcasts) the same way.... Is that the same issue or should I adjust somethings else for that?
    Thanks for the help!

    Most likely you are using your home wi-fi, and your email account provider doesn't allow SMTP access when not on their network. Accounts like Gmail do. As a workaround, send email using AT&T's SMTP server - go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > tap the account > SMTP > tap the AT&T SMTP server under Other SMTP servers, and toggle it ON.
    You cannot sync iTunes content 'over the air'. You can sync contacts/calendars 'over the air' with a MobileMe account or a Google Sync account, or via MS Exchange (corporate email).

  • There's any way to contact with apple by email and not over the phone ?

    Hi
    I need to contact with apple by email instead over the phone, that's possible ?
    I'm trying a week to find email address to send them my problem details but can't find nothing,
    every time I'm getting to the same place the tell me my only option is to contact with apple over the phone or contact with my domestic apple retailer
    Thanks

    To contact support for your MacBook, use this link. Since a MacBook can be serviced worldwide, you should have no problems finding an Authorized Apple Service Provider that  an check the battery of your computer. If this was an original Apple battery, tell Apple Support about it. The battery in my MacBook also go bigger, but I noticed that before the case got damaged. I took it to an Authorized Apple Service Provider and Apple replaced the battery for free. Take your battery out of the computer, just to be sure.

    Did you buy the phone second hand? If the Activation Lock had been activated using a different Apple ID, the phone can't be used anymore, unless you remove the lock in iCloud, using the correct Apple ID to log into that previous owner account.

  • I deleted a contact, but the contact will not go away. When I go to my messages and type the name in it still comes up I deleted all messages, emails, and contacts associated with this person. Why won't it go away for good?

    Deleted Contact won't go away

    Yes it does. It is still in the app's cache (recently used) and will go away on its own over time. If insist on removing it, tap the icon on its right, then Remove from Recents.

  • Can you have an email account from a personal domain on mobile me?

    I want to be able to answer emails that come in from my personal domain website (www.writenow-communications.ca) with an email address [email protected] (I want mobile me email to reply from that name.)
    Is this possible, and if it is, how do I do it?
    I'm using iWeb '08.
    Thanks!

    iWeb is an application to create and publish webpages.
    It does not deal with e-mail either with MobileMe or 3rd party accounts.
    Better ask in the [MobileMe Mail forum.|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=960]

  • 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...

  • .Mac 'Personal Domain' and Aperture Galleries?

    hi all.
    I have a personal domain www.gregory.hk and I've arranged with my DNS guys to set up a subdomain gallery.gregory.hk with the CNAME pointing to web.mac.com
    I'm getting two impressions from searches I've done on Apple:
    1. personal domains only apply to .Web and not to Galleries.
    2. personal domains must be a 'www' subdomain; i.e., the subdomain must be www[.mySub].myDomain.hk
    So, the questions:
    has anyone created galleries with Aperture and sent them to their personal domain?
    has anyone been able to use a personal domain that doesn't include the www sub? after all, all that really matters is that requests to web.mac.com are via Port 80... right?
    cheers,
    Gregory

    great answer. thank you.
    although the .Mac galleries have a slick interface (and Aperture only uploads new/edited photos), I have a few problems with the .Mac galleries:
    the url shows your mac.com user name! I like to keep my @mac.com address secret so that's a big problem.
    no comments?
    very limited space (and not customisable) for album descriptions.
    no captions? (or am I blind and miss it?)
    I want to have a slick gallery that can be configured/populated from Aperture, and preferably be styled/coded to match my MT4 blog (I'm working on a new version of my blog at this time...).
    mac.com was a consideration because my .Mac subscription includes the storage/bandwidth and it's just sitting there not getting used.
    SmugMug Photo is another consideration but I'm a little concerned about the work needed to (a) simplify the interface and (b) match it up with my blog design. (I don't like cluttered album designs. here's one of my own hand-designed albums for reference.)
    for the record, I'm handy with xhtml and css.
    suggestions, input and opinions would be welcomed.
    sincerely,
    Gregory

  • Blog comments disabled (against my will) and personal domain is not working

    Comments on my blog no longer work and if folks use my personal domain, they get a "this page is under construction" message (MobileMe is configured to host your domain is down it appears).
    There is another problem: at the end of published pages I see this:
    # Exception: TypeError
    # Message : Value undefined (result of expression postLinks.forEach) is not object.
    # File : Comments.js, Line:138
    Anyone else?

    Thanks, Wyodor. I got the domain issue figured out. Looks like my NSI web-forwarding feature expired... but I thought the Mac hosting would replace that. So I turned it back on in the meantime and will check into that issue later.
    Meanwhile, comments for my blog are still locked and I am still getting that error at the bottom of the page.
    On safari it says):
    # Exception: TypeError
    # Message : Value undefined (result of expression postLinks.forEach) is not object.
    # File : Comments.js, Line:138
    And on Firefox it says:
    # Exception: TypeError
    # Message : postLinks.forEach is not a function

  • Subscribe button and personal domain name

    Hi,
    Is the subscribe button on my podcast page still supposed to work if I publish to .mac using my personal domain name? It doesn't seem to work for my pages. Here are two pages where the subscribe button is invalid:
    http://web.mac.com/SHIRTLESS/POETRY/POETRY_PODCASTS/Archive.html
    http://web.mac.com/SHIRTLESS/POETRY/POETRYPODCASTS/POETRYPODCASTS.html
    If anyone can solve this problem, many thanks.
    regards,
    shirtless

    Yes, because you are publishing to .Mac and just forwarding to a personal domain. Some things don't work when you use ftp to publish directly.
    Have you made sure that all the correct boxes are checked inside the Inspector in iWeb that are relevant to the podcast page?

  • About to buy a personal domain, any tips

    I'm new to this and about to purchase a personal domain. Do I just buy the name or must I get a hosting package with it (some offer emails, 2GB storage etc). I assume the my .mac is the host but just want to make sure.
    Any help appreciated.
    Tony

    Tony ~ Your assumption that your +".Mac is the host"+ is correct, so yes, you just need to buy the personal domain without the hosting package with it.
    And unless you upgrade to a +.Mac Family Pack+ you'll have only one email address. A +.Mac Basic Membership+ comes with 10GB of combined email and file storage.
    If you don't want .Mac to be the host you can:
    1. Get the hosting package along with your domain name or...
    2. Sign up with another host separate from your domain name provider.
    Either way, when not using .Mac as the host, you would publish your iWeb site to a folder and then upload it to the non-.Mac host via +File Transfer Protocol+ (FTP) software. Here's a comprehensive list of Mac file transfer software:

  • 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

    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.
