Is it possible to view an iWeb site locally in a browser without an internet connection?

I am trying to find out if an iWeb site could be viewed in a local computer kiosk environment. I know that you can export your files, but are iWeb site files "self-supporting" in a browseer or do they require a connection to the internet to be viewed properly?

iWeb is an application to create simp,e straitforward webpages with.
The pages are published to a folder called a site.
Every page is selfcontained, with the exception of the photoalbums, which need a few files from the Apple Server.
In general pages are best served thru a webserver, but the pages can also be opened as a file on the desktop and they will display properly.
You can easily verify it by looking at webpages and see what files they use.
Here are some sites where you can see the file/folder structure :
     http://www.wuala.com/Maaskant
     http://www.wuala.com/Cafenoir
     http://www.wuala.com/Stellar
To see the webpages click on the index.html file.
BTW, Wuala is an alternative to DropBox. Safer too. No Government agents have acces to private files.
Wuala protects your privacy.
All files are directly encrypted on your desktop. Your password never leaves your computer. Not even we as the provider can access your files or your password.

Is it possible to make an iWeb site accessible to mobile phones? (in Japan)

Is it possible to make an iWeb site accessible to mobile phones? (I'm in Japan)
I've tried making a tiny site but my own phone (au A5516T by Toshiba) can't display it.
The URL is accepted but displays just a white blank screen.
I can't see anything about it in this iWeb forum or iWeb Help. Which I guess means that either it's impossible or that it's so elementary I shouldn't have to ask!
Is there some special code involved?
Any hints much appreciated. Thanks.

Is it possible to apple configurator without an internet connection

It won't allow us to assign ipads without an internet connection. Where we work our internet is locked down for security and ipads dont have internet access capabilities and we are not talking about 1 or 2 ipads, we are talking about 100.

I have posted a bug report for what good it will do.
It is also a presumption that everybody has 3.4GB of download data spare for whenever they need to download. My mobile limit is 6GB. If I am on the raod and have trouble, I cannot download even twice. It's ok at home or for anybody with large amounts of download data, but still time consuming. I love having my install discs handy at all times, and even burning a Lion DVD really messes up my nice collection of OS Install Discs! (lol on that bit)
You need to make sure you are with a reliable IP server as well.

Viewing Published iWeb site

Hey there,
I have published my iWeb site to mobile me. and I can see it in my safari browser. However I was told by friends and family that they could not view it. :/
So I tried it on a friends MacBook and sure enough it couldn't be reached.
Any Ideas on how to fix this? I don't even know what is wrong...
Thanks
BP

Is it possible to have 2 iWeb sites with one .mac account?

I am trying to create a business site with my CV (resume) and work credentials as well as a personal site with photos etc for family and friends. Is this possible to do with iWeb?

To keep sites totally separate for publishing you
need to keep their data files totally separate,
either by switching them in and out or by running
iWeb from separate user accounts. The data file is
located at
Users/username/Library/Application
Support/iWeb/Domain
thank you -- that's gonna have to be the answer I guess, til they hopefully add a new feature.. my non-.mac site is for my kids' swim team, so I'll just create a 'swim team' user account for now. Not TOO inconvenient, I don't suppose.
If you have two sites in the same data file already
you can separate them by making a copy of the current
Domain, then deleting one site from the current
Domain, putting that somewhere safe, inserting the
old Domain copy, and deleting the other site from
that, giving you two Domains each with one site.
keeping my fingers crossed that this works.
thanks again,
Jo

Is it possible to nest an iWeb site into another iWeb site?

Hello,
Is ist possible to nest iWeb sites?
Let's assume I have two iWeb sites, called site A and site B. Site A is my main site, and I would like to insert site B into A, so that 'site B' appears in the navigator, and that clicking site B in site A's navigator will take me to site B?
I could drag all of site B's content elements (blog, albums etc) to A, but this would make them appear all in site A's navigator, which would give a clutter of section titles.
Suggestions?
Best wishes,
Olaf.

What you do is get rid of the standard navigation by unchecking the "display navigation menu" box of the "page" inspector for each page of your site.
Build a new navigation in a text box with links to all the pages in Site A plus a link to site B. Copy and paste this navigation to all the pages of your site.
Repeat for site B.

How can people viewing my iWeb site print a whole slideshow?

I have several pages of photos and captions on my iWeb site. Many of these are slideshows which are guides to repairing / modifying cars for enthusiasts. The page shows the operations in easy stages.
People who use these want to print off all the photos and captions to take to the car so that they can follow the guide.
Is there a way of allowing them to print the whole slide show with one click. They don't want to select each photo and print it in turn. There are up to 40 photos on some pages.
Users will be using many different computers and browsers.

There is no built in way they could do that but you could assemble all of the photos used in a slideshow, and create a PDF file with each photo as a page. Then put a text link to the pdf file and publish. The file will be upload when the site is published and be available for download when the link is clicked on.
One way to create the pdf file is to use Combine PDFs which will take pdf files or image files and create a single document from them.
Another way you could present them would be to create an iPhoto book of the photos along with the necessary text. Then do a Print to PDF of the book while in iPhoto and you'll end up with a PDF file of the book that you can link to.
This test page has a pdf file that has been linked. It's located in the lower right of the page.

Is it possible to have 2 iWeb sites (not just "Start Site")

I have a great functioning iWeb site, but it is my personal site and I need to create a separate one for my business. Is there a way to do this in iWeb? I don't want to switch back and forth between "start sites"

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes, you can have multiple sites. One way is to use iWebSites to create a separate domain file for your second site and switch between the two for editing and publishing. I use iWebSites to manage over 40 individual sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process and move it to another location on your HD until you're satisfied the separation process is completed and what you want.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.
You can have multiple sites in one MobileMe account. They would have their own separate URLs as follows: http://web.me.com/yourMMe_accountname/site name. If you have domain names those would be the URLs you would forward to.

Is it possible to install Lion without an internet connection?

I have the Lion Thumb drive but it just pop's up a dialog box saying that it can't download the additional components. What additional components are there?
Surely this defeats the point of having an install drive if it still requires the internet to complete the install.
I have a Mac Pro at Work that only has a dial up connection, I thought the thumb drive was the answer but it seems I was wrong.
Switching the dial up on during installation gets past the first problem mentioned above but then it still doesn't work because the installer kicks you out after restarting in the Lion boot sequence because, you guessed it, No internet connection!
Any suggestions Apple? or anyone?

When accessing an site vis FTP, is it possible to view the ftp site in page mode or in some fashion that will allow file editing?

I can use Microsoft Explorer to edit my web site in ftp mode. They provide the feature under the right side screen "Page" and then drop down to the bottom - "open FTP site in page mode" or in Windows Explorer. This will allo editing and moving of ftp site files. It does not seem possible to do this with firefox. I can access my site via ftp with Friefox but cannot edit, move, delete, upload, etc.

Viewing new iWeb site...

I am new to the whole iWeb software [actually we just bought our first mac for christmas]. I have published a couple web pages. Both have had quite a few photos in them. My question is that when i access the pages from my work pc they take a long time to download. A friend of mine has noticed the same from a computer he uses back home in NY. My question is..
Is the download speed due to who hosts my webpage??
I should note my work requires me to be on the internet quite often, so my connection and computer are top of the line. [cable connetion].
One of my sites is going to be for a youth group so i want to make sure kids will be able to access it easily without a lot of waiting.
Thanks!!

usually you shouldn't need anything over 640 by 4XX
personally i even make thumbnail versions of my graphics as well, but if you downsize all your photos you are using to no bigger than 640x??? then you should see a nice improvement in speed.
but if you have a graphic that needs to be larger than the 640 size, you need to downsize it to what you need. i.e. 700x??? so it will fit natively and not need to be stretched.
does this help?
i did this with my site : http://www.brianmedia.net
and it loads a lot faster than before.

How can I share my iweb site I am creating online without publishing it on a host website?

I m working on my website with iweb, but I still haven't bought a domain from anywhere. I remember once I could publish my website on my local folder and then share it with a friend by sending the link. Now when I publish my website on my local folder I only get a local file. and no httpp address. If I go and visit the webaddress that appear on my search bar is file:///Users/... How can I make it http so that a friend can see it before I actually publish it with a proper domani www..
I hope someone understand what I am saying...I don't have mobile me btw.

The website files have to be on an online server for them to be viewable by others.
There are some free hosting servers available. Most will put adds at the top of your site but might be sufficient for your purpose. Just do a Google search for "free website hosting" to get a list of them.
You might try setting up Web Sharing on your computer in the System/Sharing preference pane. It may or may not work depending on your internet provider:
Wyodor has used this method and can probably give you more info on how to set it up.
If you haven't purchased your domain name nor hosting service look at HostExcellence.com. It has a couple of packages that offer free domain names, unlimited storage and band with, email addresses. The Unlimited Business package is currently at $8/mo (a bit less than MobileMe was) and offers 3 free domain names. The economy package offers just 1 domain name at $4/mo.

Is it possible to install App Store apps without an internet connection?

My wife and I both use the same Apple ID for everything. If she were at home, this would be a no brainer; but she is now stationed in Afghanistan. She currently does not have access to the internet.
So...is it possible for me to download some games from the app store then copy them to a jump drive so that she can install them on her lap top over there? Her new laptop was 'authorized' through our iTunes account before she left the states.
Thanks for your assistance.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Simple drag & drop apps that are mostly what are available in the Mac App Store (MAS) should be fine to burn to CD/DVD or a USB thumb drive and install on another Mac. I would test the apps to make sure that it works for those that you wish to send to her.
I wouldn't put any weight to the BS about fine print. Apple's terms of use for the MAS are that you can install the apps on all of the Macs that you own or that are in your control. There is no restriction on the location of those Macs; home or office, USA or Afganistan!

Viewing iWeb site in OS9 browser - anyone done it successfully?

Hi folks - I made an iWeb site yesterday and although it looks great on my OS X system under Firefox and Safari, my husband running OS 9.2.1 on a G4/733 cannot view the site successfully at all.
In IE 5.0 it loaded up OK but the menu links at the top of the home page didn't work, in Netscape (7, I think) the layout is all over the place, iCab 3 loads the layout OK, the menu links work, but it only briefly flashes the placed images up and then they vanish again. Has anyone managed to view an iWeb site OK using an OS9 browser? Any ideas what the problem is?
Thanks a lot!
Deb.

Thanks for your message Antonio. I did upgrade the version of IE to 5.1.7 but unfortunately the problem with th rollover links still remains. I am using the 'Formal' template and it's the small rollovers generated at the top of each page that don't work under that browser in OS9. I have got around the problem by manually including a second set of hyperlinks lower down on each page, to duplicate the rollovers, but this is a bit of a pain of course. Oh well, may just have to work on my DH to upgrade to OS X!
Thanks for your suggestion.
Deb.
