I changed web hosts and can't publish through iWeb SEO Tool or Rage Site Map Automator. Do I need to delete the old site map?

I switched to iPage hosting since Mobile Me is expiring. Also recently upgraded to OS X 10.7.3 and am using iWeb 3.0.4 for my web site design. I published directly to the FTP from iWeb but all title tags, meta tags have disappeared and I'm not showing up in Google or others. I tried publishing from iWeb SEO but it couldn't complete the process.
Should I first publish to a folder as I did before with Mobile Me, then delete all old sitemaps and start over with the Site Map Automator and then try to publish from the SEO tool? Will I lose the key words and meta tags that are already in iWeb SEO?
Thanks!

The problem is that most tech support people don't understand how iWeb structures a site.
When a visitor types in "domain-name-com" the browser expects to find an index.html in the root folder on the server. In "normal" websites the index.html file is the first page of the site.
The iWeb index.html file is a redirect to the first, or landing, page of the site which is the one at the top of the left column in iWeb just below the site name.
iWeb produces two index.html files.
One is outside of the folder containing the rest of the files and directs to - folder-name/home-page-name.html
The other one is inside the folder and directs to - home-page-name.html
You have two choices of how you upload the files since you are publishing to a local folder.
You can upload the whole folder plus the external index.html to the root folder on the server and the URL to any page will be...
http://www.domain-name.com/site-name/page-name.html
If you upload the contents of the site folder, and not the folder or the external index.html, the URL will be...
http://www.domain-name.com/page-name.html

  • Publish through Iweb SEO only?

    I just was told on RAGE forum that I should only publish through Iweb SEO tool after installing google analytics. This was after i reinstalled it yesterday, and it appeared to be gone today. He said it went away because I published changes in my site throug I web. I had analytics on there for a couple months previously , publishing through Iweb, didn't seem to effect it. Is this accurate?

    Every time you publish changes to your site you should open it in iWeb SEO Tool and click the "Re-Apply Saved Tags" button.
    The tags are added to the html files after publishing to a local folder so, if you publish any changes direct from iWeb, these tags will be missing from those html files that are uploaded as the original info will be overwritten.
    After doing this I then optimize my files for faster download using either Web Site Maestro or WebCrusher and use the optimizer app to upload the changed files only.

  • I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help suiting the old apple I'd because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions

    I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.

    You cannot do that.  The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address.  The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well).  You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
    You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
    I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)?

  • HT1451 i have and can find all duplicates in my library - after i find them is there a way to delete the other than one at a time

    i have and can find all duplicates in my library - after i find them is there a way to delete them (in mass) other than deleting one at a time?

    The only way they would all come over is if your wife had automatic downloads turned on in her store settings on the phone before she downloaded the apps. A popup for this option also comes up when you first sign into an apple id on the phone in the app store. If she didn't have that setting turned on, she'll have to download them one by one.
    She could also try to sync them over from a computer that has itunes on it

  • Need to delete the old page number from a combined file and replace it with the new number. is there a way for me to do that using JavaScipt

    is there a way of using JS to delete the old page number (1,3,32,78) on a combined PDF and inset it with a new page numbers (1,2,3,4) Thank you

    Depends. If the page numbers can be located by their location on the page then a script can be written to redact that area, and then add new page numbers in their place (or somewhere else).

  • Site deosn't look right in third party hosting and can't publish to catalyst in muse

    the muse export site looked horribly different than in muse. http://www.shopdaisygirls.com/ 
    and this is what the site is supposed to look like, which it does in muse alone like so...
    as well, I can not publish the site even to catalyst from muse as pictured above, it says there was no response from the server. Check you network connection (which is running fine) and try again.  I've been trying again, alot.  how do I publish correctly to the third party hosting or even to catalyst

    It appears that the master css file is missing. Try this and see if it helps. Ensure you are using the latest version of muse.  Under the edit menu choose preferences and switch user and sign in with your AdobeID.  Re-export the html and upload it to your server.
    Let me know if it helps.

  • HT4436 How can I change my Icloud account's name? Do I need to delete the old account and create a new one? And all this without loosing my data...

    I want to create a new email address/additional cloud account and move all my data to the new acccount. How can I do it?

    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone.  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.
    This will not move your photo stream, however.  If you have photos in photo stream that you haven't backed up anywhere else you will need to save these before deleting the account.  If your computer is syncing with your iCloud account, your can photo stream photos directly to your computer.  If not, open your photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap the share arrow button, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  Once in the camera roll you can import them to your computer.

  • Failure to launch - can't publish through iweb

    HELP!!!!!!! Neiter the genius bar nor the .mac support can help with the following: I'm a .mac account holder and can't seem to publish my website through iweb. Every time I hit publish, the system asks me to log in with my mac user name and password which I do and my existence as a .mac account holder and the matching password is validated promptly. Then, nothing happens, my site doesn't publish. :-((( Every time I hit publish I have to go through the same drill of signing in without result - I'm ready to scream!!!!!

    I can't recall a specific fix for your problem, although I have heard of other people experiencing this. Want to try something anyway?
    Try reinstalling the iWeb 1.1.1 update right over what you have installed there. Download the full update from Apple from this location...

    See if it makes any difference at all...

  • Changing web-hosts, do I need to save email files on computer, before the MX records get switched?

    Hi,
    Recently I changed web-hosts and still have my email accounts set up with my old web-host, with the MX records pointing to the old servers.
    I set up Thunderbird accounts and opened my existing email accounts through IMAP, it shows all current email and files, that I want to keep.
    My questions are-
    Do I need to save my email files on my computer first or on Local Folders on TB?
    Once the MX records are pointing to new web-host, then add back the files?
    Thank you for help!

    Providing you can still access the old server and emails are still there.
    Synchronise your mail folders to get a copy of the server folders onto your computer.
    Then stop synchronising.
    go into Offline mode.
    Move emails into Local Folders.
    emails in Local Folders will be stored on your computer.
    When all emails are safely in Local folders, then you can delete the mail account.
    Be aware that if the emails have been removed from the server and you synchronise with the 'empty' server, then your Thunderbird folders will get updated to match the server and you will lose those emails.
    Also in Offline mode you could create a backup of those emails.

    I've changed our web hosting service at work and I deleted the old email server information. When I did this all of my folders and emails diappeared. I still have the old web hosting services running for an additional month but when I reinstated the old email settings I still can't see the folders or emails. Any suggestions please as there are two years of important emails lost?

  • Changed web hosting companies/mail server

    I just changed web hosting companies and want to know if I change the "incoming" and "outgoing" server to the new server addresses will I lose the emails that I have for this account? Said another way, I'm going to open mail preferences, select the mail account I need to change and type in new mail server addresses?
    Sorry if this has been answered before but I couldn't find an answer in a search.

    Hi there, and welcome to the Discussions.
    Changing the outgoing (SMTP) server should not make you loose emails, since the SMTP server is, by definition, only used to send emails. The emails you have already sent and want to keep are stored in a folder that is completely independent from your choice of SMTP server.
    When it comes to changing the incoming server, that's a different business. The consequences of such a change depend on the type of the server. Is it POP? IMAP?... If it is POP, I would assume that you would not loose anything, because POP works in such a way that you download all your emails from the POP server, the emails are then deleted from the server (at least, this is the default setting), and then the reference copies of your emails are the ones on your computer, which should therefore not be touched by a change in the POP server.
    If the incoming server is an IMAP server, then I don't know what will happen, but there is a risk that you could loose your emails. This is because, with IMAP, the reference copies of your emails are the ones on the server, with which your computer automatically synchronizes.
    In any case, before doing anything, BACKUP YOUR EMAILS, and make sure your know how to restore these backups in case something goes wrong.
    Then, I suggest you wait for someone more knowledgeable than myself to better answer your question.
    Hope this helps

  • How can I change my old Apple ID? I have a new one created but can't deleted the old one it's gray and u can't tap on it?

    I'm able to use the new one even tho the old one is there? But can't delete the old one because it's frayed out n can't tap on it to change it to the new one

    You will need to use that old Apple ID and password to update any apps you purchased using that account. So you will either need to recover that Apple ID, which if you forgot the password you should be able to reset here:
    http://iforgot.apple.com
    or you will need to delete all those apps and repurchase them using your current Apple ID.
    Regards.

  • My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it.

    My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it.  My password doesn't work with the old email address.  When I look for my old email address in the Apple ID support area it says that the ID doesn't exist.  Help!!!

    You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials.  This deletes the account and your synced data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.
