HomePage (.Mac) incompatible with iWeb?

I've recently published a site on iWeb. And now when I go to my .Mac homepage, the pages I had previously published on HomePage, even though they still show up on the list, resolve to a "Sorry...We Can't Find This Page" deadend. Fooling around with a variety of things, I have drawn the conclusion that it's an either/or situation. If my most recently published site is iWeb, it works and the HomePage sites don't. And vice versa.
Any wisdom out there?

No, this is not correct. iWeb will not affect previously published Homepages. Your Homepages are kept in your Sites folder on your iDisk; iWeb creates and publishes to a completely different folder named for the application.
If you can mount your iDisk and still see your pages in your Sites folder, then you can still visit them. It may be that you just entered the url incorrectly. To see exactly what is on your iDisk, use the Go menu in Finder and follow this path:
Go>iDisk/MyiDisk/Sites/YourSitesAreHere to verify your Homepages
Go>iDisk/MyiDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/YourSitesAreHere to verify your iWeb pages
The urls are:
homepage.mac.com/username/nameofsite for Homepages in the Sites folder.
web.mac.com/username/iWeb/nameofsite for iWeb pages in the iWeb folder.

  • How do I upload PDFs to .Mac website with iWeb?

    Is there a way to upload documents such as PDFs to my .Mac website with iWeb and then link to them from iWeb pages such as Blogs?

    Yes, there are two ways of doing it:
    The efficient, "every link points to the same guy" solution is to add the PDF to your page with Insert->Hyperlink->To File..., publish it, and copy the address into all references anywhere else (blogs).
    The second way is to just link those PDFs locally in each reference. This isn't as efficient space-wise as above, but considerably easier.

  • How to make new Mac Pro with iWeb 08 see my existing .mac site.

    About a year ago I bought a new Mac Pro. Before that I had a G4 that I had used with an older version of iWeb to create a basic website for my business. I figured with the new Mac when I opened iWeb 08 it would see my .mac settings in System prefs and automatically open it but it does not. It will only let me creat a new site, there is no way to redirect it to an existing site.
    Anyone know how I do this or what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks

  • Want to have two sites on .Mac made with iWeb

    I have two folders on my iDisk in the Sites folder with different names. How do I get two different URL's for each website.
    So with two folders each titled different can I use the folder names like
    http://web.mac.com/foldername/welcome.html
    http://web.mac.com/foldername-1/welcome.html
    Just got iWeb the other day, I've been using DreamWeaver so I'm new to this simplicity. I'm used to working on Linux webserver too. My old URLs used to be www.name.com/index.html and so forth now this .mac subdomain is tricking me out
    Any help is appreciated.

    I think everyone will want to know how to do this. I am intested in working on more than two sites and publishing them not on a .Mac account.
    What I have begun to do as a work-around is to label the sites by the domain name (xyz.com and abc.com) and then publish them to a separate iweb folder.
    Of course the gotcha is that when you publish to an external folder you need to set the url - so each time you publish to a folder you need to set the url correctly for the domain you are working on.
    Once published to the iweb folder you then upload the indvidiual files for the particular domain and you are set.
    Too bad you can't work on mulitple sites, just highlight the site you want to publish to a folder and then have only that site published.
    This is how I expected it to work.
    hope this helps,

  • How do I use my own domain name  with Mac server with iWeb

    For a number of years I have had my own domain name that when typed into a browser it would redirect the browser to my site on the .Mac server. I hear with iLife ’08 I can have my own domain name hosted by .Mac so I know longer have to have the long addresses for each pages the I have now for my site (i.e. the http://web.mac.com/thewildhearts/WildheartPhotography/NatureGalleries.html). How do I go about getting my domain name (wildheartphotography.com) so that Mac will host it and do I need to notify the current host that Mac will be hosting my site now?
    Thanks. I really appreciate the help I get from this forum.
    Pat

    It's very easy, really. You go to your domain control and redirect the address. IPower, for example points the domain name very easily: you just type in the URL of your site and it will point to your mac server.
    I've used GoDaddy before and it is a bit more difficult to "point".

  • How do I find a web page I created on my old mac book with iweb 8

    Know I sound stupid but I can't seem to access my existing website from my new iweb. It wants me to create a brand new site

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The file you need to find is titled domain.sites2 and is normally located in the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Unless you reinstalled the system and iLife with an erase and install it should be there. If you don't find it there download and use Find File to search for "domain". It can search areas that Spotlight cannot.

  • Which older browsers don't work with iWeb '08?

    I've created a new site in iWeb using a blog page as the default page. My wife couldn't see any of the blog entries using an older Mac and Safari 1.x. So that makes me wonder, what other older browsers are incompatible with iWeb?
    Specifically since so many Windows users are still stuck with IE6, I wonder if these users could see my site at all? If not, I'm going to have to re-create the site using other software.
    Would anyone who has access to IE6 for Windows be willing to check out http://www.gardensofstationpointe.com and let me know if you can see the blog entries listed?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for checking. I actually switched the site to RapidWeaver since I asked the question. I was afraid the original iWeb site wouldn't work with older browsers. I forgot to come back here and make note of it. Thanks.

  • .Mac pages to iWeb

    I came across a description somewhere of converting .Mac pages to iWeb pages. It goes on to say that any photos would benefit from the superior slideshow features of iWeb. However I cannot remember where I have seen it.
    The only reference I can see to .Mac now is that you cannot edit .Mac pages with iWeb.
    Has anybody seen the above reference or got any suggestions on converting .Mac pages to iWeb pages?
    I would appreciate any suggestions.
    Jim

    Well, I don't think there is a way to convert .Mac Homepage pages into iWeb sites. The bad news is that there currently isn't even support in iWeb to import already published iWeb pages back into editable form by iWeb. So the long and short of it all is that you would have to republish your photo galleries using iWeb in order to take advantage of the "fancier" slideshow feature.
    A lot of people who have been using Homepage up till now choose to make links so that visitors can move between the "old" Homepage site and the new iWeb site instead of republishing everything. There's a pretty good tutorial written by our very own willG4pb that walks you through establishing this link between .Mac and iWeb...

  • 2 Homepages with Iweb ??

    Hi, I am really in trouble...I created 2 homepages with iweb. Homepage 1 is already online. Everything fine so far. The problem is the second homepage as it is apparently using the same index file as homepage number 1 - can this be? I do publish through Strato and not Mac. I export the homepage number 2 to a separate file. But homepage number 1 is always registered together with number 2. i cannot separate the 2 homepages.
    And if I open the folder of homepage number 2 and copy the index file on the same level as folder homepage 1 and hompeage 2 mac askes me whether I would like to replace the existing index file . This is the index file from homepage number 1. If I do this, it is not getting better. My homepage number 2 is not working...urgently need your help - thanks!!

    Yes, I understand perfectly that you are not using MobileMe to publish to, which is why I asked how many domain names you had.
    I know you said that you have separated the folders, but did you separate the domain files? If not you need to do this so that the sites can be published to a folder separately. To find the domain files, go to User/Library/Application Support/iWeb and then domain.sites file.
    Have you given both your sites different names within iWeb at the top? If not, you should do this, or publishing your sites might get confusing.
    When you publish to a folder from iWeb, what you get is a site folder that has the same name as your site within iWeb, plus a separate index.html file. You need to upload both of these. What I suggest you do is go to your second site within iWeb and publish this to a folder again and you should get the site folder and the index file published. Then upload to your server again and if you upload both, then it should work. You do need to place the items in the Public_html folder on your server for your site to be seen.
    If I were you, I would use a good ftp program such as Cyberduck to upload - it is totally free to download and easy to use.

  • (No .Mac Acct.) Can I still publish with iWeb?

    I don't know much about iWeb. I already have a webpage and domain name and I am thinking of buying iLife but only if I can publish to my existing domain.
    Sorry if this question has already been asked but I didn't find a similar question anywhere in the iWeb discussions.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Jamie

    I already have a
    webpage and domain name and I am thinking of buying
    iLife but only if I can publish to my existing
    domain.
    If you have hosting space at your domain, of course, you will be able to use iWeb to design your pages. Then through iWeb you will save the website files to a folder on your desktop. And from your desktop you would use an FTP program to upload the site files to your webhost server. There are some tips from Tom Gewecke here on this page for hosting iWeb pages on a non-.Mac server...

  • Can a webpage made with iweb be published only to .mac?

    I need to do a webpage for a school project and get it online. My school's website has a designated page for each student, so if I make a page I can put it there permanently. The only thing is that I don't know how to use dreamweaver and iWeb looks very easy to use, but I looked up the tutorial and it only said how to publish a page to a .mac account. Is there no way to make a page with iweb but load it to a different domain name than a dot mac one?

    I looked up the tutorial and it only said
    how to publish a page to a .mac account.
    You read that incorrectly. Lots of people put their iWeb pages on other servers. Here are some tips:

  • Editing a web site using windows that was made with iweb using a MAC

    I published my web site using iweb with my MBP, but at times would like to edit it when I'm running windows. Anyone know how to do it?

    You can't. To edit a site created by iweb, you must be using a mac with iweb installed and also with the Domain file installed that was used to create the site.
    http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/iwebdata.html
    Of course you can mess with the html and other files created by iWeb with any app you please, but any changes will be overwritten if you republish from iWeb later.

  • My iPad 1 is now very unstable. Apps crash consistently, Mac Numbers/Pages etc incompatible with IOS 5.1 etc. There seems to be no backwards compatibility to iPad 1. Am I just supposed to throw it away? I have restored the iPOad and it has ample storage .

    My iPad 1 is very unstable. Many Apps simply crash after opening. There is ample storage available.I have restored the iPad twice now and still it is unstable.
    Is this a lack of backwards compatibility because no-one writes apps for IOS 51.1. and the original iPad anymore? not even Apple, as the documents and sheets I create on my Mac are incompatible with my iPad now.
    My naievete tells me that this is simply Apple expecting us to upgrade to later levels of hardware. If so, very disappointing for an Apple fan. Seems your App developer approvals (even your own apps) do no require compatibility with anything but IOS 6 or later.

    There are various things to make your iPad more stable. You can try deleting all apps from the multitasking bar; do a reset ie hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears; Settings > General > Reset all Settings.
    If you had the previous version of iPages (version 09) on your Mac before upgrading to Pages 5.2, your Mac should still have that version in Applications, which is still compatible with your version of Pages on your iPad.
    If you don't have that version, you can 'Export to Pages 09' which is still compatible with iOS 5.1.1.

    You need to transfer your domain.sites file from your MacBook to your iMac.  This is the file where iWeb stores all info and can be found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
    Transfer this file from your MacBook to the same place on your iMac and double click the domain.sites file and iWeb will open it on your iMac and you can update your site from there too.
