Family Pack, Multi-site help
I have the .me family pack to help make more then one website. My problem is this, I go to "mobileme account settings" and sign out of my main name and into one of my sub accounts Then I go to Iweb and when I open Iweb and my previous web site is still there, so I cant create a new one. If I go in Iweb and click new site it just combines both .com's and nothing works. I have read a lot of people do this but I have to be missing a step.
Can someone who does this help me out? I am really lost. I am trying to keep the websites on my Laptop so I can work on them as I travel.
Thanks
Set up a new user account on your Mac and launch iWeb in it to create the new site.

I have three children that use iPod Touches. They are all iOS5 capable. I upgraded the first one this morning and it synced with my iPhone profile on iCloud. It asked for the iTunes account information which is what I believe caused this. We use Mobile Me Family Pack and each of the children have a unique @me.com account. How do I fix this problem so that each iPod has it's own unique login so that iMessage will work? I don't really want to open them up to any further exposure on the Web though... . As it stands I am able "micromanage" their contact list via Mobile Me. Is there any way to make the iPods behave correctly and still maintain parental control as well as allow them to keep their unique profiles and contact lists???
...and for some reason, after upgrading my son's iPod Touch... his apps all disappeared from the device??? Strange, as this worked perfectly when I upgraded my iPhone yesterday.
PS. All my upgrades are current. iOS5 on iPhone 4, iTunes 10.5 on MBP.I spent about 2 hours on the phone with Apple Support... had to restore both devices! Arrrgggghhh!!! Thankfully the iPhone had a Backup from yesterday. The iPod wasn't too tough to get back up and running either... although we had to completely reload it as if it were new. Then we found out that Apple won't let the device login with my son's @me.com email because he's too young (10). Quick work-around for now until Apple fixes this was to lie about his age in the setup. I don't like the work around, but it worked.

I have the iweb family plan with a domain set up already..how do I create a new site/name for another domain? Does the family plan allow a site for each member?? Help Please
Yes - that is the whole point of a Family Pack, that you get your main MobileMe account and then 4 sub accounts where you can enter a personal domain name into each - so in effect 5 domain names if you want to use them all.
You need to set up your sub accounts from your main MobileMe account. So in your main MMe account, there should be somewhere that says 'create sub account'. Click on this to create your new sub account that will have a separate username and password.
Then log out of your main MMe account under System Preferences and then log into the sub account with the new username and password. Then go to the personal domain name settings and add the new domain name as you would do in the normal way.
You can also create new users on your computer to enable quick switching between accounts if you want to.
This question would more appropriately have been placed on the MobileMe Forum. It does not really have anyting to do with iWeb and is not a question directly related to iWeb.
Also note, that it is called the MobileMe Family Pack and not iWeb - MobileMe refers to hosting and has nothing to do with iWeb - the two are not connected. -

Personal Domain for two sites on Family Pack
Can you use two personal domains with iWeb if you are using a Family Pack/.mac?
I have a single .mac now for family and would like to upgrade to family pack and have a small portion for an upcoming home business with its own personal doman.
TIAI think you want something setup like I have right now - and it works. I have two sites on .mac using iWeb. The first main site is designated with a personal domain. The second has one, but I cannot use it because the whole .mac preference is for all the sites. So I went to my host name provider (domainit.com) and they offer one free "forward" for that personal domain - all I did was type in the site name where it should point to. Now, it wasnt the standard "web.mac.com" because my .mac is designated with a personal domain. For that second site it is mypersonaldomain.com/site. When I enter my domain for that second site, it says the namein the browser bar, but at the bottom of the browser you can see the original full path of mypersonaldomain.com/site.
So, you dont need to have another web host (web space/storage). You can have a primary personal domain working with .mac and then have the second personal domain point to (forward) the second site (that now is a sub of the first personal domain).
Now that I talked in circles, HTH just a bit. -
If there are several people in your Family Pack, are they able to do their own website from their computer using their iWeb?
With a Family Pack you get four additional .Mac accounts, each with its own email, iDisk, and 250MB storage space for publishing web pages, backing up files, syncing personal information, and more. There’s even a shared iDisk folder.
As I understand it, each Member Name in the family would correspond to a unique email address: [email protected] and iWeb site address: http://web.mac.com/membername -
HELP! How can I tell if my copy of iWork is Family Pack?
I bought this copy in 2007 and am selling it now, don't use anything in it, but I don't know whether this is the Family Pack or the individual user version.
I have the same problem with the copy of Leopard I bought, which I -know- is the Family Pack (5 installs) but which says nothing to that effect in the packaging!Apple doesn't "track" installs but depends on the moral integrity of their consumers to abide by the software license. For most Apple Software the licenses state the software can only "exist on one computer" at a time. The licenses state that family pack software can exist on up to five computers in the same household. So, legally, you can uninstall the software from one Mac & install it on another & be within the terms of the license.

do I find all the FINANCIAL pathces after 12.0.6? Is patchset.sh applicable to R12?
Thanks a lotHi Hussein,
Based on Note 793520.1 you gave me, the following ang the patches updates made after RUP 6.

How do I get iweb to upload to different family pack accounts?
Hi. sorry if this has been covered before, but I can't find this particular problem anywhere. Also sorry this is going to take a while to explain. We feel we wasted an extra 50 bucks on our family pack for mac.com last year to have accounts we never could find out how to upload from our separate iWeb domain files. We needed 4 different "sub accounts" but we use one mac laptop using one desktop. Calling apple customer service was of no help. We have figured out the way to get iWeb to open different domain2 files was to copy and into each person's file (one for the gardener for their garden stuff, one for the budding chef and his cooking stuff, etc). But no matter what domain file is opened and worked on iWeb always uploads it to our main (original) user name thus erasing the site previously uploaded to it. We can't seem to find out how to change the settings in iWeb so when it uploads particular iWeb projects to Mac.com (or now me.com?) it goes to the sub accounts and not overwriting the main account. Our main account is for the entire household's news/photos etc and we don't link to the others from there. We thought by setting up the family pack we could easily get iweb to send up to the other sub accounts. Not so. We ended up last year just doing all our websites on the same iWeb domain file using "new website" function and adding a complete new website to the bottom of the list on our iWeb pages. All of them would be combined into one which uploaded everything to the main account. Not what we wanted but that was the only way that nothing would get erased by anyone else's updates but also not very private as those near the bottom of the list would have a mac.com address as long as my arm. Sorry so long winded here. But if we can't have two iweb domain files on a desk top upload to two separate mac.com accounts or sub accounts, then why pay the extra for them? Is a family pack only good for families with a computer in every room? Our family pack accounts expires in 10 days so would like to know if we need to waste another 50 bucks. And no, setting up separate desktops for for the sake of individual iWeb projects is not an option as all the files are kept together. We tried that once and got so much duplication in photos and stuff, our hard drive was full in no time.
so you have 45 different users on your one computer? ie: 45 different desktop users or am I still not understanding. To me a "user" you are referring to is what I would go up to the upper right of my toolbar and use the drop down menu and select another name (or in this case another alias of myself) but those additional accounts (users) would all have to be tied into my files on the main account to access them from all users, correct? All my files are on my one main user (myself) and not all of them are in iPhoto or iTunes, for instance any swf files. If I have other iWeb domain files (which I know how to create, duplicate and know about the last one used in iweb etc) then I have to create a separate user name (myself again) in my computer for as many iweb/me.com accounts or sub accounts that I have? But my problem with that is if I copy those domain files and move them into another account/user (which I tried) the link (the stuff at the bottom of the iWeb work window) still says my original Mac.com (me.com) address and will not let me change even when the new "user" has not even logged into Mac.com ever or the second computer is linked to a completely different mac.com account. I would have to start all over from scratch. I am sorry that I am not getting this. I know you are trying hard to explain it to me but it is just a bit too complicated to do a simple task of: I want to create a new iWeb/domain2 file on my own desktop with my own user name and have it go to "here" and not "here" within the me.com environment. I have actually copied and moved over 20 domain and domain2 files between our two macs to work on them, but each time the same connection indicated at the bottom is always the same and they will all upload to the master account at Mac I am referring to thus deleting anything we uploaded before no matter which computer they are located on. Once that domain file is created it is locked into that Mobileme account no matter what. So it has been easier to simply save to folders and purchase hosting from someone else than try to figure out what I am doing wrong with mac and me. (me, not myself)

Family Pack...posting iWeb from multiple computers?
So I apologize if this is a silly question...but need to verify my hunch. If I purchase a .mac family pack, can we post multiple iWeb sites from each of our four computers to that .mac account? So the sites would be, for example, web.mac.com/smithfamily/amy, and web.mac.com/smithfamily/scott...and such? I guess the real question, is can this happen from multiple computers accessing the same .mac account without them overwriting each other's sites? Thanks.
Hi Amy,
I think this probably remains to be seen.
If you are using iWeb1.1.2, I would say yes, you can definitely do this, as you have described.
If you are using iWeb2.0, I would say maybe not. 2.0 is publishing to a different directory on the iDisk than 1.1.2 did, and each publish to this directory, at least, from a separate/different Domain.sites2 file, erases the previously published site to the iDisk.
It is a good question whether or not this would happen with individual machines, publishing to the same .Mac account, and this would actually be very helpful information about what it is that is causing this problem, should you be successful.
I have two machines myself, and I publish to the same .Mac account from each; however, only one of them is using iWeb2.0.
I say give it a try, using the 60 day trial version of .Mac. If it doesn't work then you haven't lost anything. (Not sure if you can try the family pack in a trial version)

IWeb, Dot Mac, family packs... and Domain names???
I'm a volunteer involved with recreational trails and historical preservation organizations in a rural area. I've been talking with the leadership of these (not-well-funded) organizations for some time about the benefits of establishing web sites for each organization. (Publicizing accomplishments, generating awareness of issues, soliciting support, improving communication, etc.)
Prior to the recent MacWorld SF Expo, I was looking (very warily) at some of the pay-services out there where you can pay so much a month (or a year) for a web-hosting service which would supposedly offer a domain name of choice, server space, and other services. Of course, with this I would have to learn how to use a web design app like GoLive CS or DreamWeaver MX. I'm not opposed to that. Web-based tutorial services like Lynda.com make it more possible than ever before. Still, I was wary about getting my "bang for the buck"; the combination of my time and the hard-won funding of these organizations resulted in wavering enthusiasm.
Along comes Apple's iLife 2006 and the offering of a new Dot Mac Family Pack. Looking over the possibilities, there's something to be said for combining iLife '06 with a Dot Mac Family Pack. If Steve Jobs' hype is to be believed, I could put up nice little web-sites for a decent price and have all kinds of technological possibilities for the future. (If anyone wants to post a podcast, it can be done. Posting pictures of volunteer work and developing issues can be a major breakthrough for awareness and support.)
I'm still concerned about some lingering issues, though. Some of these other web-hosting services offer the means of securing and using your own domain name (i.e., your-organization.org) for a web-site URL and even several e-mail addresses using that same domain name. Still, if I split a Dot Mac Family Pack five ways, that's $36 per site. That's quite a savings over $100+ per year per site that these hosting services were asking. How tough is it to get a domain name, and how much does it cost?Walt,
Getting a domain name is easy enough, as long as you can come up with one that isn't already taken. You can secure a domain name on sites like GoDaddy.com for less than $10 a year, and it gets cheaper as you secure it for more years at a time. GoDaddy also offers free domain forwarding, meaning: you can have your www.brandnewdomainname.com point to your .Mac url (which will read something complex like http://web.mac.com/username/iWeb/somethingorother). If you don't want the complex .Mac url to show in the browser's address field when people visit your page, GoDaddy will mask it for you for free too. Then, it will just say www.brandnewdomainname.com on every page on that site. If you want each page on each of your sites to have its own easy url, say www.brandnewdomainname.com/about or www.brandnewdomainname.com/contact, you'll have to host with GoDaddy or some other site and pay the price.
If you decide to go with the iLife 06/.Mac combo, the family pack may not be the best thing for you. Have a look at this .Mac page:
http://www.mac.com/1/currencytable.html
For $20 more, you can get twice the server space (4GB), and I think that also includes a lot more bandwidth per month than the family pack, but I am not sure about that. For $30 less, you have the same amount of space as the family pack. What you don't have is the 4 additional e-mail addresses. You can purchase those separately for $10 a year, or, you can use up to 5 free e-mail aliases per account. The drawback to aliases is that messages sent to them will all end up in the main account's inbox, which may or may not work for you --perhaps only if all the e-mails are intended for the webmaster and that is you for all these sites. Of course, you could always list individual non-.Mac e-mail addresses on a contact page, and probably turn them into hyperlinks so that if people click on them, their e-mail app will open a new e-mail addressed to that person. May not be the most elegant way to do it, but if you're trying to save money, maybe it's good enough.
With a regular (non-family pack) .Mac account, you also are not forced to split your server space five ways evenly -- you can host as many sites on one .Mac account as your server space will allow. The main headache for you will be the urls to each individual page of all these sites. If you are picky about them and what exactly they look like, .Mac may not be your thing. Not yet at least. It has the ease of use, but you pay for that in other ways. There's always a trade-off...
Hope that helps a little. -
I want to upgrade my .Mac account to a Family Pack, but I'm a little unsure how the sub-accounts work in terms of publishing Homepages or iWeb sites.
1. Can each sub-account publish his/her own Homepage or iWeb site?
2. Does each sub-account have a distinct username associated with their Homepage or iWeb (e.g. homepage.mac.com/adminuser/subuser1)
3. Are there any other concerns regarding the interaction of .Mac sub-accounts and publishing Homepage or iWeb sites?
Thanks for any help!Can the administrative peek into the subaccounts
folders?
Only if you have their password. They can't look at yours either.
What would the Homepage/iWeb URL be for the admin,
and for a subaccount?
http://homepage.mac.com/username/
http://web.mac.com/username/iWeb/
-- substitute username for each subaccount user's name
Each subaccount truly is a separate account, albeit with less iDisk space and subaccounts cannot create e-mail only accounts.
If the subaccounts operate as their own .Mac account,
then is cost-savings the only benefit to the Family
Pack? Aren't there additional syncing benefits? Are
there any limits to the subaccount?
If you have one .Mac account and then add an e-mail account for each family member, all they get is e-mail. They do not get an iDisk or web publishing capabilities. They also cannot do any syncing.
If you buy a Family Pack,
1. Each subaccount has 250MB iDisk space
2. Each subaccount can use Backup for backup to iDisk
3. You can share your Address Book with those family members so each has an identical copy (you can allow or disallow editing). They can also share their address books as well.
4. Each subaccount can publish their own calendar, which can be subscribed to by other members.
5. Each subaccount can publish their own website, share files using their Public folder, publish their own photos.
I'm sure I left something out. Hope this helps. Any more questions, ask away.

I give up on searching thru Appple Web site to find an email address for someone to answer this question.
So I will post out here to see if anyone knows.
I just purchased iLife05 Family Pack which I believed was for 5 computers. I possibly made an errenous assumption that it could be used on more than one at a time. Actually I assumed would be a 1:1 so potentially 5 machines at a time but in reality might be 2.
Possibly missing something in the EULA or not understanding but excerpt as follows:
BEGIN EXCERPT
2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
A. The Apple Software is being licensed to you as a bundle and allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single computer at a time. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time, and you may not make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple computers at the same time.
END EXCERPT
I read that as I can still only use on one machine at a time. Anybody have any official knowledge on the subject?
TIA

When they do, as explained in the Apple Discussions Personnel section of Discussions "Help", they are so identified.
You have landed in iSight Discussions. I understand your stated reason for posting here out of desperation. Hopefully I can give you some leads to an answer.
If your question is regarding the meaning of the License, an attorney can give you a real legal opinion. (I am NOT an attorney.) If you bought and paid for a five license user pack and are using it on less than six computers, it would seem to me that you are not violating this license provision, but this is obviously a serious question for you. You deserve a real legal opinion, not just my non-lawyer interpretation.
If your question relates to how to install your software on all the computers to which you are entitled to have the software installed, you should be able to ask the retailer who sold you the software for help. Perhaps the retailer has a "Help Line" or offers Mac user training? Perhaps a Mac savvy friend can help you?

How to find Applied/Present Patches, Mini Packsand Family Packs in 11i
Hi,
Whats the best practice to find:-
1. Applied/Present one-off patches
2. Applied/Present minipacks and Family packs
Whats the difference in using :-
1. bug_number in ad_bugs
2. ad_applied_patches
3. the script patchset.sh
4. $AD_TOP/sql/adutconf.sql
Please help
Thanks
RS- AD_BUGS: holds information about the various Oracle Applications bugs whose fixes have been applied (ie. patched) in the Oracle Applications installation.
- AD_APPLIED_PATCHES: holds information about the "distinct" Oracle Applications patches that have been applied. If 2 patches happen to have the same name but are different in content (eg. "merged" patches), then they are considered distinct and this table will therefore hold 2 records.
- Patchsets.sh: This program (a unix shell script) was created to help customers evaluate the currently installed Oracle Applications patchsets and Family Packs. The program compares the currently installed patchsets and family packs to the most recently available ones generated by Oracle Development. This program utilizes the the applptch.txt file for 10.7-11.0. For 11i and R12, it utilizes a combination of tables such as AD_BUGS and AD_APPLIED_PATCHES to create the installed patch list. If the 11i release does not use these AD tables (11.5.4 or lower and have not applied 11i.AD.E or higher) it still supports using applptch.txt for 11i.
- adutconf.sql: This script provides a wealth of information, including the following:
Product Group(s)
Multi-Org status
Multi-lingual status
Installed product status
Registered schemas
Installed languages

Upgrading to OS X 10.5 with Family Packs
I would like to update my old PowerPMacs and my Intel iMac to OS X 10.5 Leopard on the following computers:
eMac 700Mhz running 10.3.9
12in Powerbook 867Mhz running 10.3.9
15in Powerbook 1.67Ghz running 10.4.11
20i Intel iMac 2 Ghz CoreDuo running 10.4.11
I know it might be impossible to actually get hold of Leopard nowadays, my eMac and 12inch Powerbook might struggle to run Leopard, and I will want to upgrade the iMac further, but my main question is this. If I see a 'used' copy of a Family Pack for`Leopard, say on eBay, is it safe to buy? Or if it says it has been used on two computers, will I only be able to install it on three of my own?
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. The older Macs are running things like Youtube slowly at low res, and Flash video sites are a pain. Plus the 15in Powerbook keeps looking for plugin updates on everything. I know upgrading to Leopard is as far as I can go on the PowerPc Macs, but as the computers can still be used, I would like to get them running as best as possible, even if this circumstance will obviously reoccur as time goes on.
MarkI wonder if there would be any point trying to get a Family pack for 10.4 Tiger for the eMac and 12inch Powerbook! lol
I wouldn't think so. Installing Tiger is not going to rejuvenate them.
Is there a link tro the various types of OS X upgrades? I should be trying to get discs that are black with the large'X' across the full disc, correct? The grey discs that come with your Macs are not the ones to get (Install/Recovery)?
Correct, the grey disks are model specfic and they may not load.
The following shows retail disks OS 10.1 10.2 10.3
----------------------------- 10.4 10.5 10.6
The point to consider is the last one, Snow Leopard (for your intel) was until recently, availble for only $30. It may still be possible to order one if you ring an Apple store.
