How to Photocast without a .Mac Account?

I'm currently using a .mac free trial, which is how im currently photocasting, from iphoto to iweb to my .mac website.
but i dont think im gonna stick with the .mac account so how can i do photocasting and overall "casting" without a .mac account?
do i need my own personal url site? or what? if so, can myspace work?
any tips would be appreciated. thanks.

You just publish to a folder instead of to .Mac and then upload with an ftp program. Here are some tips:

HT204053 I have an iCloud account on my Mac which has a different account name to that on my iPhone. How can I change the Mac account name to that on the iPhone?

Hi,
I have an iCloud account on my Mac which has a different account name to the iCloud account on my iPhone. How can I change the Mac account name to match the iPhone one? Kuranda.

You can't change it in one step. Sign out of the one now on the Mac, sign onto the right one.

Photocasting with trial .mac account

I am trying to photocast an album using a trial .mac account. Each time I get a message saying it doesn't recognize my user name or password and directs me to system preferences for .mac.
that name and password are correct. is this a problem because I only have a trial account? I also can't sync to a .mac account.
thank you.

I too am having this very same problem. Have you found out how to fix this yet? I cannot sync with my Powerbook laptop or my .Mac account either. It also shows no registered computers when I know I've registered 3 of them. We pay alot of money to have the .Mac account and right now it is USELESS. VERY FRUSTRATED right now!

Purchasing photos in iPhoto without a .mac account

Is it possible to purchase photos, books and cards through iphoto without having a .Mac account. I have friends with a new iMac, they have no use for a .Mac account. They just want to purchase photos, cards and books via iPhoto. They have actually created some cards and books but when they try to purchase it asks for their .Mac account.

You don't need one of those $99 .Mac accounts for purchasing, but you do have to set up a .Mac ID (free) so you can tie it to a credit card which will be used for purchasing prints and books.
If they buy from iTunes, or even the online Apple Store, they might already have an account set up for them.
The $99 .Mac account is a premium service that gives you email, webspace and some online tools as well as iWeb integration. If you already have that, then you can set up your purchasing using the same account as an ID, but you don't need to be a subscriber.

Best way to publish multiple sites without a .mac account?

Hi, all you mac geniuses out there!
So, I have a mac and a .mac membership and iweb. I use and love all of them. I also have a business in which I am about to incorporate the service of designing websites for various individuals. I would love to be able to use iweb for this. However, I can't put it all on my .mac account. So, my questions are the following:
1. Do I charge people extra and buy them a .mac account so they have their own idisk even though they won't need the e-mail and other .mac features?
2. Can I create a website for them on iweb, buy a domain name for them through godaddy or somewhere, publish to a folder, and then upload to a separate hosting space (like through godaddy or somewhere)? And if that's the case, what is the best (and easiest) place to host a site and how exactly does one go about uploading the site once it's published to a folder? Will it still look like the iweb layout?
3. Any better suggestions?
Thanks!
Lisa

I don't think this would be necessary...
2. Can I create a website for them on iweb, buy a

Yes. The best thing for you to do would be to get familiar with a program called "iWebSites" ( http://mistergregg.com/cocoadrillosoftware/ ). I'm sure you don't want your personal .Mac website to be mixed in with your client websites. In addition, you will appreciate the ability to be able to publish your various websites INDEPENDENTLY of one another, so that you only publish your personal site to your .Mac account and your client sites individually as needed. iWebSites helps you to create separate Domain files for iWeb so that each website can "live" in its own space and be edited and published separate from every other site.
But yes, as far as your client websites go, prepare for a new site with iWebSites, design the site in iWeb, then "Publish to Folder" and then register and upload to the appropriate domain name server directory. I think this would be a slick way to run your business....full service, right?
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Publishing without a .mac account??

Hi all,
I have a .mac account but want to create a site with lengthy podcasts and the like. So i have some server space I use which I want to publish my site to. I know how to use a client and upload the whole folder but is there a way in iweb or a client that only uploads only the changes as re-uploading a large size site every time I add to it would be a nightmare.
Any help as I would very grateful.

A list of Mac FTP clients is here:
...but it's not clear which are able to upload only changed files. If you click on this old two-page thread you'll see some diverse opinions:
Another poster says he uses:
Yummy for FTP...
http://www.yummysoftware.com/
and Web Site Maestro for optimizing and uploading updates using "Smart Handling"...
http://www.tonbrand.nl
(Their web site says: The Smart Handling feature and the combined Optimize/Upload function offer you *one-click optimizing and publishing of all your changed pages*.)

Can i make an iweb website without a .mac account?

So my 30 year old friend is asking me to make a website for his carwash. I can make it and everything, but i'm only 12, and i dont want it running though my parents .mac account. Is there any way of having the website and publishing directly on a domain name, without having it run through my .mac?

Is there any way of having the website and publishing directly on a domain name, without having it run through my .mac?
Yes. Build it normally, and then publish it to an FTP server or to a folder depending on the instructions provided by the organization hosting the site.

How to publish to another .Mac account ??

For a variety of reasons I decided to start afresh with a new .Mac account - how do I republish my web pages to the NEW account - the older account will expire later this month ?
Thanks

QTK - removing old account data may be the issue. I still have my original .Mac account name pop up from the Apple site - I think they keep the old ones in their system forever as some type of marketing scheme to get you to renew.
Since you can not delete your .Mac aliases was formed (only deactivate) - you have to set up a new account to get 5 new/different aliases.

Adding HTML without a .mac account?

I am trying to add some html code to use google analytics and add a paypal button to my website. I was trying to follow the instructions on Vark Girl's website, but I can't enable my idisk because I don't have a .mac account. Is there any other way to do this?

If you are using a server other than .Mac, then you are publishing your site to your local drive and uploading via ftp. You just add whatever code you need to your .html pages either on your local drive or directly on the server, using a text editor like TextEdit or TextWrangler.

Is photocasting possible without a .Mac account?

I had a quick look last night but couldn't figure it out.
Thanks for any help.

That option isn't available,
I too am hoping that it is included soon as it is a cool little feature that I would like to have (an easy way to publish) on my non .mac site

HOW DO I RETRIEVE MY .MAC ACCOUNT from 2008??

I stopped paying in 2009 due to a billing error and I wish I continued service - I have intellectual property saved in my account and I cannot figure out how to retrieve it.
I have a gmail account - I have deleted the account twice and told google I was hacked and they retrieved everything. I know for a FACT that apple has my email - (not logged in since 2008) and I WANT IT BACK - NOW!!!!!!
I have CRUCIAL documents saved on that account - MY LAPTOP WAS STOLEN and I never followed up with my claim and forgot about how valuable that email was to me until now.
I need it back!!! (MY .mac EMAIL)

Hi, it might work to set up an icloud account...
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
          •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 993
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
          •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 587
          •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
Thanks to dpepper...

How do i change my .mac account to my .me account?

on my itunes, my account is still listed with the .mac domain. can i change it to .me without losing access to all the songs i bought under .mac?

I have asked the hosts to consider editing out your name details for your own security. I'm not sure what you should now do. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Apple ID account Security'

Can I send my photos by email without a .Mac account?

Got my first digital camera, got them into iPhoto but can't send them by email as I get Error message: "This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered. The server "mailhost.worldnet.att.net" refused to allow a connection on port 587," or sometimes, "The connection to the server, etc. . . . on port 587 timed out." I've gone to Mail Preferences and when I tried to "add" I only get the option to become a .Mac subscriber, which I don't want to do. This has happened previously with automatic replies to some businesses which only want to send replies by Mail. I use Safari consistently and don't see why I have to pay to send replies or now, my photos, to someone. Do I have other options or should I be asking AT&T these questions? Thanks for any easy-to-understand help.

You do not need .Mac in order to send photos by e-mail. It sounds like you use ATT as you internet provider. Have you configured Apple Mail to be able to send e-mail yet? Can you send an e-mail text message OK?
If you haven't yet gotten Mail configured to work with your ATT account a quick call to ATT should give you all the information you need. Setting up Mail is easy.
Post back with further questions.
Regards,
Steve M.
