Have my imac and now im getting a macbook.....how to use together?

i just got my imac a few weeks ago and LOVE it!!!!! now im getting a macbook tomorrow and would like to know the easiest way to edit all my sites between the two......i was thinking getting a 80g external portable drive and use that for ALL my sites at all times.....would this be a good idea? or are there any other good suggestions? thanks
also a quic one...what does a work flow do?

Your iWeb data is stored in a file called Domain.sites which is stored in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. If you want to work on your site on another computer, copy this file to a thumb drive to move it around. (Your portable drive is a great idea!!!)
You should backup this file whenever you make big changes to your site, because if it gets lost or damaged, you will have to start all over. Sadly, many many people learn this the hard way.
I have an Automator app on my site that will help you backup your Domain file(s). Click here to download it or visit http://iweb.varkgirl.com for more info. The app will make a .zip file of your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and save it to a location of your choosing.
Then check out Mozy for an online place to store your backups - I just found this and it seems great. They just recently released a Mac friendly version of their app - it automates the upload and encryption. You select the files you want to backup and it does the rest. You can set it to upload automatically after so many minutes of inactivity or once a day. It does it all in the background so you don't have to worry about it! 2GB of storage are free - plenty of room for most people's iWeb Domain.sites backups!

  • I have a imac and i keep getting popup saying myadobe flash player has crashed try to fix it but get stuck and know where help

    i have a imac and i keep getting popups saying my adobe flash plug in has crashed

    Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
    This happens the same whenever I try to install.
    To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
    My plugin is still showing as out of date.
    Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

  • I just updated my brand new iMac and now I get a white screen

    I just updated my new iMac and all I get is a white screen.  It went from installing to the white screen.  I can do nothing but shut it down by pressing the on/off button.  When turned back on I get the white screen again.  What happened?  What can I do about it?

    If the system is less than 14 days old, you said it was "Brand New", take it back and get a refund and then buy another. Apple has a 14 day No questions asked return policy for full refund. Take advantage of and get a system that works correctly. The one you have certainly isn't.

  • I have an iMac and I keep getting the beachball or spinning wheel coming up It doesn't let me continue until it stops I also have to force quit it.

    I have started it in safe mode and it doesn't help. I have reinstalled it and that doesn't help. I love firefox and don't want to switch. Can anyone help me.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Own an iMac and thinking of getting a Macbook

    I'd like to get a Macbook for my fiance. I want to transfer some, but not all, of my files to her new Macbook when I start it up. Can I do this?
    Also, can I copy my music files to her iTunes easily? (I don't want to move them from one to the other, I want them to remain on my desktop while copying them to her laptop) Is that possible?

    Yes, you can. What I would do is turn on file sharing on the iMac, and connect to it with the Macbook. All you have to do is drag and drop files from the iMac to the MB. To copy the iTunes music, just drag the User(whatever the username on the iMac is)-music-iTunes music folder to the music folder on the MB. When you drag and drop files from one Mac to another, or even from one hard drive to another on the same Mac, it will copy the file rather than just moving it, so everything on the iMac will stay there.

  • I have downloading music screen , but it says store busy can not connect. I have itunes cards and can not get to the store to use them. help me please tried all weekend got first ipod and can not put anything on it yet. hel p

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

  • I just bought a new iMac and signed up for creative cloud, how can use my old fonts to update my work prior to my new set up?

    can I load my old fonts somehow?

    fonts are handled by your operating system. This has nothing to do with Adobe. You simply copy over the font files.

    It's not a virus.
    Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is redirecting your browser. Use Open DNS to avoid that. Open DNS adds security and anti phishing filters and it's free.
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.

    Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.

    Then click OK.

  • I have an iMac and iphoto.  Currently I am having a problem with an album in iphoto.  When I double click on the album all I get in the main body of the screen is a triangle with an exclamation mark and my 2 photos show at the very bottom of the window.

    I have an imac and am using iphoto.  Currently I am having a problem with one particular album which shows in the main part of the window a triangle with an exclamation point.  The two photos are at the bottom of the main window in the same area where the "info" "edit" "create" area is.  I can see the two photos but I can not get them back into the main part of the window.  I can't drag them anywhere either.  I can't double click or right click on either of the two photos either. All I can do is click on either one and they get a little bigger.  Before I saw the exclamation point in the main body of the window all I get is two squares with nothing in them and the entire border is made up of dashes.  Can someone help me?

    Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
                                            Screenshot is for iPhoto 9
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I've upgraded my pc and now Im getting an error message when Im trying to sync my ipod saying I have two itunes libraries. The library thats there is only showing some songs and it's not uploading songs Ive just bought.

    I've upgraded my pc and now Im getting an error message when Im trying to sync my ipod saying I have two itunes libraries. The library thats there is only showing some songs and it's not uploading songs Ive just bought.

    You seem to have tried everything, and you say it's syncing fine on your Dad's iMac, so I assume, you have also  done a Disk Diagnostic from an earlier post by tt2 and conclude that your iPod Hardisk is good.
    You don't have to use it as a heavy paperweight, the problem is only using your Windows 7 machine for syncing.
    In your troubleshooting steps, did you try to use another High-Speed USB 2.0 port, USB controller resource are very scarce, so if you use other USB devices, while syncing your iPod, it may just freeze.
    Windows have a bad reputation for device conflict, so better don't connect other  USB devices, while syncing, better sync it while disconnected from Internet, stop antivirus just before you go to bed.
    Have a nice day!

    That is precisely the WRONG thing to do. You should never delete, but uninstall.
    Now you need to look for, download and run the Adobe CS Cleaner tool.

  • I have an iMac and under devices in the sidebar that name has changed from iMac to iMac(1) to iMac(2)...and is now at iMac(9).  What is causing this and how do I correct it?

    I have an iMac and under devices in the sidebar that name has changed from iMac to iMac(1) to iMac(2)...and is now at iMac(9).  What is causing this and how do I correct it?

    Sometimes this message means that you have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
    Sometimes it happens because a device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
    A third-party wireless router that has incompatible settings or firmware may be the cause. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
    Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.
