Is iweb only for a Mac account?

Hi,
I'm wanting to know if iweb is only for a Mac account. Can you use it if you already have an internet account with another provider?
Thanks,
Spiral Girl

Hi Spiral Girl...
Along the same lines as what Max has touched on, there are several features that are ".Mac-only", meaning that they will not be available to you if you publish your iWeb pages on a non-.Mac server. Having said that, there are plenty of replacements for all of these "missing" features that even exceed the qualities of the .Mac ones.
iWeb also makes it pretty straightforward to publish to 3rd party servers. You simply select "Publish to Folder" and then iWeb puts all of your sitefiles in a folder for you...ready to upload. You must then upload the contents of this folder with any FTP program to your server. Pretty straightforward.
Tom Gewecke has a tipsheet on publishing to non-.Mac servers...

Multiple Sent Messages for my .Mac account

For some reason I have two sent message mailboxes for my .Mac account. One is under the Sent grouping, i.e.:
Sent ->
-- Account 1
-- .Mac
-- Account 3
And another one listed with my .Mac folders. Both have the same contents. Any suggestions on how to get rid of the second?
Cheers!

Hi MrWynnm, you're welcome.
I don't see anything strange there. If Store sent messages on the server is OFF, the mailbox you see within the standard Sent group should correspond to the local ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Sent Messages ([email protected]).mbox folder, whereas the folder you see within the .Mac account group should correspond to a (totally unrelated) mailbox stored on the server and cached locally in ~/Library/Mail/Mac-username/Sent Messages.imapmbox.
That explains why you see two mailboxes in Mail, BUT it doesn't explain why they both show the same contents. Try this:
1. Quit Mail.
2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. Open Mail, delete the mailbox that appears under the .Mac account group... and let me know what happens...

How to authorise users only for specific GL accounts

Hi friends,
My client does not want his endusers to see all the GL accounts' balances, they want to restrict them from looking at certain GL a/cs .From my security person I came to know that we cant restrict them only for certain GL accounts, it could eithre be all or none.
I dont agree with that.
Please guide if you know anyhitng about it.
Thanks
Shefford

You can use the Authorization Group field in the G/L account master record (field SKB1-BEGRU, free text field) for this purpose. You can then use authorization object F_BKPF_BES to manage the different authorizations.

Points are appreciated.

Keychain Issue for the password for my mac account.

Keychain Issue. Keeps asking for the password for my mac account. When i type it, i keep getting "rejected the password. But it is the correct one. Verified in keychain access. "The .Mac server 'mail.mac.com' rejected the password for user XXXXXXXX. Please reenter your password, or cancel."
Thanks in advance

But may I ask why you're using separate servers for in & out?
I don't know the answer to that. For many years, it's always been set up like that. I have never changed anything.
Should i delete the .mac mail account & set it up again? If so, What servers should i use for incoming & outgoing?
Keep in mind i'm having the same issue on my desktop & laptop, both running tiger 10.4.11, as far as they will upgrade.
I do have a laptop running Lion, but that shows an icloud account, not a .mac account like the older computers. It also has a bellsouth account with the password that is correct and a gmail account which is working fine.

How do I find my password for my .mac account?

How do I find my password for my .mac account?
I open up 'Mail' on my macbook and this comes up - The iCloud IMAP server “p01-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user “************”
No idea where to find out what this password is. Any ideas??

The password is the same as for the other iCloud facilities. If you can log into the iCloud website at http://icloud.com with the same password then you've probably run into a server issue which has affected some people, though you could try signing out in System Preferences>iCloud and signing back in again, which sometimes fixes it. (And sometimes doesn't.)
If you can not get into the website you can change your password at http://appleid.apple.com - click 'Reset password' and sign in with your iCloud ID (not your iTunes ID if this is different).

Need to edit server info for my mac account

How do we edit server details once a mail account is set up? I can't find a way. And somehow the server for my .mac account has changed from the standard smtp.mac.com.
Thanks for your help.

I can edit my accounts. To do that to my Yahoo smtt server I go to:
Settings> Mail >Yahoo account>account info>SMTP Yahoo SMTP server>smtp.mail.yahoo.com>tap on the server host name and the keyboard pops up for editing.

How to publish from iWeb to two different .mac accounts

my household has two separate .macs account and we want to publish from iWeb to the two different accounts which I cannot figure out. thanks

I discovered I could duplicate Domain.sites2 (~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2). I named one "Domain de.sites2", and the other "Domain daru.sites2". Then I opened daru's site and deleted de's, then I opened de's and deleted daru's, and I have two separate sites (with aliases in the dock) that I presume I'll be able to upload separately. Once I get .Mac sub groups created...
If it works, it saves the hassle of creating other user accounts, since only my wife and I use the computer. Right now, .Mac is telling me I can't create a sub account in my wife's name because she already has a .Mac ID (and a two month free trial account she had to agree to, to join the group) for a group site I manage. I don't think she ought to be required to have a separate identity every time she logs into .Mac.

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.

New family pack .mac - how to republish iweb parts to new .mac accounts

Ok, that subject isn't very clear so I'll try here: Tonight I upgraded my .mac to a Family Pack. I have split my previous iWeb 'domain.sites2' into individual sites that I have renamed. One needs to go to my hubby's computer under his .mac account and I want to put some of the others under the other newly created .mac accounts on my own computer. How to I tell each of the new 'xxx.site2' to be published under the correct .mac?
Thanks!

do you know how the public folders work? Am I missing something in setup?
You have to click on your Harddisk (Macintosh HD) then go to "Users" and there you will find the different users accounts and you are able to view the content of the public folders (not going to HD and then Home where you put stuff in).
But public folders permissions are read-only. To move things from one user account to the other you should use "Shared Folder" instead of the "Public Folder". Go to your HD, "Users", and drop the stuff into Shared. Shared has Read & Write permissions.

Does iweb only publish to .mac?

can i use iweb to publish to a different host or is it .mac account only?

You can publish your web sites to a folder on your computer and then transfer the files to another web hosting service.
Apple provide details here :-

I stupidly upgraded the software to my Iphone 3s and now it won't connect to my Mac which is a PowerPC and the Itunes update is only for Intel Macs so......now what?

well I stupidly upgraded my Iphone 3s to 6.0.1 and now it isn't compatable with Itunes but I run a PowerPC and the itunes is only for an Intel Mac so.........now what? It's more important for me to have my Iphone communicating with my older Itunes so what older software do I need for my phone since I'm not buying an Intel Mac.My Protools would not like it.

Trouble Viewing iWeb site on dot Mac account

I have a home office and I also have a studio. When I am at home working, I have no trouble viewing photo pages on my dot mac account from either Safari or Firefox.
When I am at my studio, however, I cannot browse my photo pages on Safari nor with Firefox.
Safari gives me the "server stopped responding" error and Firefox displays "the server timed out".
So, what's up with this?
At the home office, I use wireless DSL access with a MacBook. At my studio, I'm using an iMac wirelessly on my network. The the service provided is through Comcast broadband cable modem.
On both machines, I have iLife & iWork 08. I do not sync my dot mac account with the 2 machines. The original files for the photo pages reside on my studio iMac.
So why can I browse my way through my photo pages when I'm surfing the web from my home office, but am unable to see them when I'm working at my studio?
Thanks for assisting me if you can.

I will when I go back to my studio. I'm just trying to understand where you are going with this. I have contractors who work in and out of my studio with their laptops. They use XP & Vista and they have absolutely NO problem what so ever accessing my photo pages. In fact, when I couldn't access from my iMac, I had one of them check to see if the site was down. They could see my pages just fine with no problem. So...if they can reach them using the same network while sitting at the desk next to mine...why can't my iMac reach the pages?
Thanks.

Changing From address for Apple .Mac account

Greetings,
I use Mail with multiple IMAP email accounts. I'm using my .Mac account as my primary "incoming" account although it receives email for multiple addresses.
In my Accounts Preferences, there is a field to change the From address (by default [email protected]) so that when I compose messages my from address would be [email protected] (the primary address I use).
It lets me change this field and asks me if I want to save the changes, but then reverts back to [email protected] as soon as I move to another screen and come back.
Any suggestions on how I can configure Mail to handle this properly? Any other mail client such as Thunderbird would let me do this and it works fine for other accounts in Mail.
It seems that Apple put in a special rule to not let me change my .Mac account even though I can change all the others. That's something I would expect Microsoft to do but not Apple...
Suggestions?
~Josh

I figured out how to do this by setting up my .Mac account as an IMAP account instead of .Mac. It takes the same settings, but lets you make the change to your from address.

HT2623 I forgot the password for my .mac account and cannot log into it from Apple Mail. I have an iCloud mail account but did not convert my .mac account to iCloud. How can I log into my .mac or .me email?

I set up .mac, including email, around 2006. I believe my .mac account became a .me account, but I continued to receive email sent to .mac until about March 2013.
I accessed my .mac account using Apple Mail on an iMac running OS X 4.11. I'm still using that machine.
In July 2013, I upgraded my MacBook Pro to OS X 8.5, bought an iPod Touch and set up an iCloud account.
I forgot my .mac password and I want to open an email message sent to my .mac email account.
When I attempt to log into my .mac account using Apple Mail, my password attempts are rejected by a .me mail server.
Is there any way I can restore my access to my .mac or .me email?
Thanks,
William Postman

How do I tell itunes (on a Windows XP PC) to start adding downloaded files to an external drive ? Starting itunes while pressing the shift key and then choosing works only for a MAC, I think. I only need this one final step. All is copied already

How do I tell itunes on a Windows XP PC to start downloading new songs to my external drive ? The whole library has already been moved. I am just one final step away. Everything I`m downloading still lands on C: Relaunching itunes while pressing "shift" and then getting prompted to choose library might work for a Mac, it doesn't for Windows.

In iTunes click on 'Edit', then 'Preferances', Click on the 'Advanced' button, change the entry in the 'iTunes media folder location' to point to your external drive.
