First Ever Time using iweb, Advise needed

OK.. I have never even opened iweb before let alone used it!
5 minutes later I have what I wanted..!!!
It seems extremely intuitive.
My first project is very simple. I have scanned a family Christmas card picture and want to create a site where friends and family can click the link and the card opens up and plays a Christmas Carol!
I added my Christmas Carol though itunes, I dragged my picture from iphoto into the box and resized it nicely on a blank background.
I saved my creation. But..
- How do I do a save as? .. If I click save, then where do I find my work next time?
- How do I view the website as if it was already posted? so I can see what it really looks like?
- My .mac DVD is on it's way from Amazon, so when it is active I assume that I just press the publish button and apple will do the rest... right?
- Any gems of advise for this total iweb rookie would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for any advise!
Steve

Hi Steve,
There is no "Save as" menu option in iWeb. Your work in iWeb is saved in the application with a name that is also an integral part of a potential url, should you choose to publish the site from iWeb for uploading to a server. If a "Save as" option was available for a site created in iWeb, it would wreak havoc for most users--it simply isn't necessary.
iWeb is different from most applications you are accustomed to in that it saves all of your work to a single file, Domain.sites. This file lives on your hard drive in your Home folder's Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2. This is the file you would want to backup frequently for work created in the application.
You can easily view your work in iWeb by using the file menu, File/Publish to a folder..., and by choosing your Desktop as the "folder" destination. Two things will appear on your Desktop: an index.html file, and a Site folder. Just double-click on the index.html file and you will see your site from your default browser application, just as you would see it if it were on the internet.
Once you have established a .Mac account, you are right--one-click publishing will be available. It's a great feature, and I suggest browsing your way around on what will then be your portion of the iDisk, (.Mac server space). The .Mac server is a very useful tool once you understand all of the ways it can be utilized.
Click on the blue "i" from the lower menu in iWeb; this is the "Inspector" tab, and it is your ultimate tool box for this application. Choose the Quicktime icon from the Inspector menu, and you will be given options for making your music perform on your site the way you want.
Have fun with iWeb!

I am trying to use IWeb and need a lot more information. Does anyone know where I can get a book on how to build a website on IWeb?

Has anyone built a web site using Ilife and specifically Iweb? If so, did you find a book on how to use it? I am pretty up on Photoshop Elements but this works very differently and I need HELP! Thanks!

Has anyone built a web site using Ilife and specifically Iweb?
No, no-one in this forum has ever used iWeb. Browse this forum and you'll see that nobody has even heard of the app.
Anyway, start by reading the iWeb Help. It's a great source of information to start with.
And here are some video tutorials by Apple :
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/web/
And note that iWeb is not PhotoShop (Elements) v.v. So don't compare them.
And I'm sure that filling a blank page with content isn't very difficult to do.
Remember Kindergarten? Did you need a tutorial to use the crayons?
Here are some sample sites you can use as inspiration :
http://www.wyodor.net/mfi/
Some were made in an afterrnoon. Think of a word, make it a theme and start filling the page.

Slow Slow Slow page loading times using Iweb......

I used Iweb to create a photo gallery / web site and it loads very slow...I expect the images to load slowly but even the text hangs up a bit. It is worse on IE and the layout is messed up on Firefox....is there a way to make a website created on I-web uniform for all browsers and of course load and unload faster? I have cut my image files down in half ...they are about 400-600 kB (JPG) each but they still load slow...not to mention an annoying white block where the image and text is loading?? Any help from a seasoned I-web vet?

Synchronizing 2 sites using iweb

Hello everyone,
I have already created a site using iweb & now need to create another one for another business of mine.
How do i synchronize it with Mobileme as i already have a personal domain listed?
Please Help!!!!
Thank You.

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/MMe_Username/Site_Name, 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 Ethmoid'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.Domain_Name.com/Site_Name/Page_Name. CNAME does not have masking.
The URL forwarding displays the full MMe URL:   http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/Domain_Name/Page_Name.   With domain name masking that will be shortened to:   http://www.Domain_Name.com for every page of your site.
However, with masking visitors will only be able to bookmark and enter at the first page of the site. If a page is refreshed the visitor is taken back to the first page. Also search engines will only be able to index the first page of the site.
Just a thought: since MobileMe will be discontinued next June 30, 2012, you might start looking for a new host to put your sites on. I'm familar with HostExcellence.com which has a couple of package specials which include free domain names. One for $8/mo with 3 free names and one for $4/mo with one free name.   There are others with similar offers. HE has excellent 24/7 ear-to-ear customer support.

Just brought the MacPro and first time using iTune and Yes I authorized the computer. But for a few purchased songs, only 30 seconds of the song plays and for one song off an album, a pop comes up saying I need to authorized the computer, but I do this and it says it is authorized already. I click on the song to play it and this process repeat (saying it is not authorized, then saying it is already authorized)

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Help.. First Time Using DVD Studio Pro!!

OK .. this is my first time using DVD Studio Pro. Before this I have always used IDVD for my Final Cut Projects, but I now need to branch out!
I've hit a bit of a brick wall. I've watched the video tutorials and tried to read the instruction manual, but it's heavy going!!!.. can someone help me get over the hump?
Here's where I've got to:
- In my Assets tab I have my two file - Test.mov QT Video File and Test.mov QT Audio file. Both are yellow uncompressed video. I also have a templates folder.
- I chose the template called brush cover which I can see under the menu tab on a window. If I go to that same window and select the graphical tab I can see a menu 1 and track 1.
- In my timeline I have dragged my Video and adui assets over and can see them and actually play the movie.
- What is also worth mentioning is that I can also see the 18 chapter markers that I created in FCP.
- Now I hit the brick wall!!.
- Back in my menu I see 8 buttons. In my timeline I have 18 chapters. How do I transfer my 18 chapters over to my menu so that I have 18 buttons each one representing a chapter?
- I'm sure that it's obvious and a silly question.. but for a rookie like me who's trying to figure this out from scratch it's not easy!
Thanks for any advise!!.. also if anyone has a good 'idiot's guide' for ex iDVD people moving to DVD Pro then I'd really appreciate it!
Many Thanks!
Steve.

You can duplicate your 8 buttons menu so many time as you need to include your 18 chapters, creating a simple new button to navigate through Chapter Menu1, Chapter Menu2, etc.
Or you can duplicte&resize buttons to fit more of them in a single menu, but 18 button chapters could be too much for a comfortable navigation.
Thanks for any advise!!.. also if anyone has a good 'idiot's guide' for ex iDVD people moving to DVD Pro then I'd really appreciate it!
You can use the Search feature in this forum and almost for sure you'll find any answer you need, in particular for basic stuff.
You can visit Drew13's site [DVD Step by Step|http://www.dvdstepbystep.com] for some good tutorials, and Drew13 uses to stay tuned here to help you too!
And sometimes Google helps too !
Hope that helps !

Computer keeps Configuring and setting up for first time use

I have a toshiba A505-S6980 that has been working fine for a couple years. Recently I had performance issues and suspected virus, spyware so I did a recovery with the original discs I made when I first got the computer. Four of the six discs reloaded fine. It did not ask for the last two discs "Environment 64 bit and Applications and Drives. I also have a System Repair disc. After loading the four recovery discs the computer now keeps recycling between preparing for first time use, configuring system, reboot and then back to preparing for first time use,etc. I think I'm close to getting this, but need a last bit of help.
Thanks

It's been a couple days since you posted this problem. Did you get anywhere, or are you still stuck in that loop? If it's still stuck, you may just want to perform the recovery again.

First time using iphone~~

first time using iphone~~
hello there~~
i need to know how to activate iphone 4..
do i need to register itunes for activate phone 4..??
or not..?? and i don't have credit card...
can i activate iphone 4 without register itunes and without using credit card ...??
im sorry~ i just new with iphone 4... pls help me...

to activate iphone, you should connect your iphone to your computer which should have itunes via your usb cable provided with your iphone problem. and you don't need to register an account to activate the iphone. but you need to register to download apps for iphone.
it have to be unlocked to work with other country's normal sim card. you should have a malaysian mini sim card to make a normal at&t iphone work in malaysia and other countries.
if you want to know about unloked phones, go to this webpage-> http://www.tgdaily.com/mobility-opinion/33600-unlocking-the-iphone-what-does-it- mean definition for unlocking--->
Unlocked is the term used to describe mobile phones that are not tied to a particular service provider in order to be used. Many cell phones are tied to a single cellular provider at their introduction, but are later unlocked for use on many networks.

Hi L.T.D.,
To only answer the question you asked, the answer is yes you can do those specific tasks you mentioned.
My example:
Since you don't want the sentence if A2 is blank you would modify this formula to something like this:
=IF(ISBLANK(A2),"","the patient reports "&A2&" that won't leave.")
I don't see a problem if all you are looking to do is to translate your form or forms into a report. I could even see several different forms reporting to one sheet that tracks their history. It may require a lot of maintenance if there are an increasing number of forms reporting.
Sometimes merged cells create difficulty in Numbers. A mix of popups and checkboxes may complicate things.
I think the previous advice may turn out to be the best, though. You are asking,"If I head this way am I headed to Japan?" I am saying "Yes". They are saying, "You will need a boat!"

I have 1TB time capsule and i need to back up more media. Can i also use a 3TB time capsule asswell?

i have 1TB time capsule and i need to back up more media. Can i also use a 3TB time capsule asswell?

You can, but it is not possible to continue backups "seamlessly" from one Time Capsule to the other.
Time Machine will make a new complete backup of each Mac on the first pass when you connect the new 3TB Time Capsule.

Do I need a .Mac account to use iWeb?

I took a seminar about iWeb, and was under the impression that I could create web pages and then publish them on my own website, without subscribing to a .Mac account is this true?
I may subscribe to .Mac later to separate my two businesses, but I'd like to build a couple of pages, first, and then build my .Mac site later.

You are absolutely correct. You do not need to be a .Mac subscriber to use iWeb. You can make your pages in iWeb and then use the "Publish to Folder" command to put your website files in a folder that can then be uploaded to your own web hosting service.
The are certain features, though, that only work with .Mac. These include the hit counters, search, comments, slideshows, etc.

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Is it necessary to add? If so, how do I add H Tags to iweb.

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Are they necessary to add? Why would one add these tags and how do I add H Tags to iweb? And are there examples to look at? I am slowly learning about simple web design and assumed that iweb was stand alone without having to write code. Is this one of the reasons iweb is no longer supported? Thanks for looking at this!

A simple text page like this:
Heading
    sub heading
          text paragraph ....
Is traditionally represented by html tags like:
<h1>Heading</h1>
     <h2>sub heading</h2>
          <p>text paragraph ... </p>
I would guess that the use of h1-h6 tags helps search engines to understand the structure of a page as the tags imply a certain structure.
This can be compared to more generic tags like <div> that could represent any kind of content - and may be what iWeb uses (you'll have to check yourself).
I would generally recommend that you use some kind of up to date blog/site building tool, perhaps Wordpress or Squarespace (I haven't used either one myself) that support current web technologies - this should reduce your SEO issues and make it easier to properly support mobile/tablet users.
