How do I shorten my .mac website address?

Hi all,
Right now my .mac website address is: http://web.me.com/ocicatgraphics/OcicatGraphics/OcicatGraphics.html
It's too long... Is there anyway to shorten it? You know so it might be easier to remember and fit on a business card?
Thanks in advance.

All you need to enter is http://web.me.com/ocicatgraphics/ to get to your site.
If you're referring to what is shown in the URL window you can purchase a domain name, something like ocicatgraphics.com or ocicatgraphics.info (GoDaddy has a special on the .info - $0.99 the first year, $9.99 per year thereafter and that includes domain name forwarding and masking. Then all you would enter in the browser window is your domain name and that's all you'd see in the URL window when you got to your site. Like my toadstutorials.info site.

How to use .mac email address after upgrade to iCloud.

HI
Just wondering the following.
I have an old mac.com email address.. Can I still use it in any capacity? What I am thinking is to be able to have an email sent to my mac.com email address forwarded to my gmail account. Is this possible and if so how?
Thanks and I look forward to your reply.

If you use iCloud in Mail, all iCloud mail will include the main address and all aliases. They show in the same account, but with the different addresses.
If you use the main forwarding address in the general preferences of Mail at the iCloud site, then all messages to all iCloud addresses will forward to gmail.
If you only want to forward one of the addresses, go to the rules tab and create a rule to forward the .mac address to gmail.
You said: I am using gmail on my iphone/ipad so I do not need to sync my mail.
     Do you not want the .mac or .me account on your phone and iPad?
You said: What I am trying to achieve here is just to have a mac.com account. My concern is I do not want to get it confused with the me.com address. Given that is it possible to have a mac.com email account that will work?
Where are you using the .me account and what for? How do you want to separate them so you don't get confused? If you only want a .mac account, what happened to gmail?
I'm sorry. It appears there is a minor translation barrier. I am not understanding what you need to accomplish and I'm getting confused.
Maybe you could explain as simple as possible all what you want to show in Mail on the computer, iPhone, and iPad and what you want to sync together.
Glenn I am sorry for the confusion. The joys of email.
I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do. Do you want the .mac address forwarded to gmail and not the .me address?
     Yes I want to forward the .mac address to my gmail account The reason I have the .me address is because Apple forced this on me when I signed up for the icloud when it first came out. They would not let me use another account. I would have prefered the .mac account but as I said I had no choice.
You said: I am using gmail on my iphone/ipad so I do not need to sync my mail.
     Do you not want the .mac or .me account on your phone and iPad?
    I do not want either account on my iPhone or iPad for email. I use my gmail account for my email. I have gmail defined as an exchange account on the iPhone/iPad in order to push email to my devices. I just want to have a .mac email address that people can send emails to. My intention is to forward the .mac emails to my gmail.
So I guess my problem boils down to how I can have the mac.com address (which is defined on Apple) forward any emails to my gmail account.
I hope I am making this clearer for you to understand. Maybe I am trying to do something that is not possible? Maybe I am making this more complicated than it really i?. The concept is simple. Apple just makes it difficult to do it.
I look forward to hearing back from you.

Using my existing domain name to refer to a .Mac website created with iWeb

How do I have my domain name connect to my .Mac website address, without using a slow redirect?

The place where you got your domain name should be able to tell you how to forward to your web.mac.com url. Nothing to do with Apple or iWeb really.

What application are you trying to print from? Address Book has the ability to print using various label templates. I think you can do the same from Pages or Word.

HT204053 How to get rid of .mac address

I am getting a ton of spam on my old .mac address, I do not use it for anything (only use the .me version). How do I stop receiving this junk email? Or how do I get rid of my .mac address completely?

You can't get rid of it. What you can do is to set up a Rule on the iCloud website to move all messages addressed to thet @mac.com address to the Trash, the Junk folder, or a nominated folder as you choose.
Click the cogwheel icon at top right of the email page and choose 'Rules'.

How can I get the MAC address of my Apple TV?

How can I get the MAC address of my Apple TV? I currently do not have an HDMI device to connect it to, and the MAC is not listed on the box or the Apple TV itself.
(to answer the obvious, I am trying to pair it with an iPad, and I need to register the Apple TV for the network so the two can see each other)

As long as I know java doesn't have support to work on link-layer, only internet and transport layers. You may write simple native code. On windows, IP Helper functions, like SendARP allow you to pass an IP address and get the hardware address. You store the hardware address on your database/file and later, when that machine is off, you send a frame to the address you stored previous.

I haven't seen it on Linux, but if you need help let me know I'll check the Linux API's too.

How do you add a MAC address to air port so it will recognize a Nest thermostat

How do you add a MAC address to anAir Port

In a v5 utility it looks different to a v6 utility.. and you should not be using MAC restrictions anyway, unless you have time controls. MAC filtering is not adequate security.
There are only two options Timed Access or Radius.. you cannot use Radius without a Radius authentication server.
Clcik the + symbol and add the MAC address.
Make sure the time limits are not restricted if you want permanent access.
BUT this is just the wrong way to do things. Use proper security WPA or WPA2 with a password. not MAC filters which are next to useless.
If you have issues getting your NEST to connect to the Airport, set the wireless name to correct SMB standard. That means short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. The current name is probably not compliant to SMB network standards hence the NEST cannot connect.

Just go to iCloud on your iPad. Click on delete account - this will delete the account on your iPad only. You will be given to keep the addresses and calendar or delete the data.
Then you create your new account on you iPad by entering your apple id.

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?
17" iMac (Intel Core Duo) Mac OS X (10.4.6)

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.
