IWeb 09 and Homepage

Now that I have a new Mac with OSX10.5.8, with MobileMe, I can see my previous HomePage items.
I assume that I can arrange, edit, and add items, but is that true? When I log in to my mac.com acount, I don't see a familiar 'HomePage' option to select, and wonder if it has been replaced by iWeb.
1) Can I work on the items with HomePage as before?
2) Do I need to transfer all those items onto an iWeb arrangement? Will that change the web address?
3) Can I add to those items in HomePage, or do I need to create a new web site with iWeb?
Best regards, Isshi.

1) Can I work on the items with HomePage as before?
No, the web-based page editor is gone. But there is no need to move your pages, they will still work, and you can still modify them using some other kind of editor if you want to.
2) Do I need to transfer all those items onto an iWeb arrangement? Will that change the web address?
iWeb stuff has a different url, web.me.com instead of homepage.mac.com. iWeb files are located in Web/Sites instead of Sites.
3) Can I add to those items in HomePage
You can still put whatever you there, but you have to create it using something other than the old Homepage mechanism.

  • What is the difference iWeb and Homepage

    I'm trying to back up everything I had published to my iDisk (over several years) before installing Lion. The Gallery files were easy. But I'm confused about iWeb and a folder called "HomePage." The movies I had on iWeb...I could see and download. However, older movies are in a folder called HomePage. If I click on these older movies, I get a Quicktime Question mark symbol. For example, older movie 1 is located at: http://homepage.mac.com/username/iMovieTheater22.html and I cannot see it or download it. New movies, seem to be located in a different place, for example: http://web.me.com/username/myname/Austin_is_4!.html
    Am I just out of luck?
    Is there any way to retrieve the old movies?
    Possibly worth noting...the old movies were probably published on an old MBP.

    Homepage was Apple's early website hosting effort and that has been discontinued for quite a while now. The files created for the Homepage websites will reside on your iDisk in the iDisk/Sites folder. 
    Mount your iDisk on the Desktop and go to the Web folder.  There will be the html files for the various websites and pages.  The photo and video files used in those sites should be located in the Pictures and Movies folders.
    For MobileMe websites all files for them will be inside folders in the iDisk/Web/Sites folder.

  • Iweb and homepage

    Hello,
    Trying out iweb and finding it obviously a thousand miles better than the old way : Homepage...
    However, I have been using Homepage for several years and all my family/friends are starting to remember that url which was already not the simplest of all: http://homepage.mac.com/$appleid. Quite OK though... With iweb, It seems that they will have to get used to another url which is even worse...Any idea on how to make this transition easier and friendly.
    - I don't like much the idea of redirecting the users through a message "Please visit us at our new url...."
    - I have seen that some users have just bought a domain and redirect automatically to the right site...That's nice but costly, no ?
    Any idea would be welcome.
    Thank you.

    Hi
    I am one of the many who have bought a domain, as above $8 a year, but from ez-domainnameregistration.com (buying the domain for 5 years reduced it to $8 a year).
    It is very easy to do, just sign up with a provider and set your domain to automatically forward to your iWeb address.
    Godaddy gets a lot of good press on this board as well.
    Good luck

  • Iweb and homepage url

    Hello! I am very new to iweb. I would like my url to look like: http://web.mac.com/user name, but instead it looks like: http://web.mac.com/user name/Site/Welcome.html.
    I am sure there is a very simple way to fix this, but I can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated!

    Unfortunately not. That is the way that websites made in iWeb and published to MobileMe will look like. The url will always be http://web.me.com/username/sitename/Welcome.html.
    It is just that you have to call your site something in iWeb. It won't accept it otherwise, so you could shorten it even more to something like S so it would then be web.me.com/username/S/Welcome.html. The only other way is to register a domain name and then use masked forwarding so all you get as a url is www.yourdomainname.com.

  • Is iWeb and Homepage diffeent?

    I wish to have photos available to see. I do not understand if there is a diffeence between Homepage and iWeb. If there is a difference, which is best to use?
    I would be adding and changing the photos periodically.
    I had set up a "Homepage" but cannot get into it to delete it. How do I do this?

    The differences:
    Homepage uses an online editor within the .Mac service and sites have a URL:
    http://homepage.mac.com/userid/...
    iWeb uses an offline editor and sites have a URL:
    http://web.mac.com/userid/iWeb/...
    iWeb is much more flexible and for your photos you can use iWeb's Photos template which has an optional slideshow feature. Also clicking on a Photos template thumbnail causes the full-size image to appear in a pop-up window. More info about iWeb's photo capabilities is here...

  • IWeb and Dreamweaver

    Since it seems iWeb doesn't support Flash animations, I'd like to use Dreamweaver 8/Flash 8 as part of the Web-publishing workflow.
    However, much like the Contribute thread, it doesn't seem to be very straightforward, and my suspicion is the index.html file that is created with iWeb (and HomePage).
    Can anyone tell me how to properly use Dreamweaver once an iWeb site is published?

    Scott
    I may be wrong, but if my memory serves my correctly, there were some threads about using flash created in iWork (Keynotes I think).
    I have no idea if this will meet your requirements, but I am sure that there were some sample sites posted.
    Just turned up this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1667896&#1667896

  • IWeb to Homepage

    I am so confused with iWeb and Homepage. I have been posting to my homepage for a few years. Should I transfer these pictures to iWeb? How? Then send out new address? Can you set up a counter? How do I choose different designs? Should I figure homepage is not used anymore.

    I am also confused I just created a web sight with my
    new I life 06 but I don't know what the purpose of a
    homepage is for?
    Imac 5
      Mac OS X (10.4.3)  
    The purpose of homepage offered as a part of .mac is to create a simple personal website at .mac based on a collection of templates and layouts offered by Apple. iWeb essentially does the same thing.
    The difference is iWeb runs on the mac you are sitting in front of, and homepage runs on .mac servers. Theoretically iWeb provides better ease of use because it is a regular mac app like iPhoto, Safari, iMovie, etc.
    If you haven't used homepage from .mac, don't have a .mac membership then you probably don't care about it and should continue to work with iWeb.
    Last time I checked homepage didn't have a practical way to do blogging. Theoretically iBlog solved that problem, but the integration with homepage was about as bad as that between homepage and iWeb. Which is to say their was none, but you could use both of them anyhow to publish to your .mac homepage. Anyway iWeb has blogging as a template, if that sort of thing appeals to you.

  • IPhoto '06 iweb/NO HOMEPAGE SUPPORT and two computers - what is best?

    I am a science teacher(+PhD student) - and use my powerbook for work/study and my imac as general file store and workhorse. I very dependant on .Mac to swap info and publish web pages(mostly pictures) on the fly etc. I need a reliable system because I simply don't have time to mess around.
    I have just upgraded both computers to iLife '06 and have discovered that my workflows are going to be bothered - there is no way to edit iweb from both computers - and most importantly share photo files from both(most of my colleagues don't use safari and iPhoto RSS is thus redundant) Now the Homepage button has gone - I can really only run my .Mac picture files from my powerbook. Anything from the imac will have to be data pinned accross/networked. More hassel. I am really cross about this.
    I would just like to be able to load up loads of pictures on to webpage, then later on when I have time to url them with iweb.
    I don't have time to fuss about using idisk and homepage online - too time consuming. I don't want pretty - I just need to be able to communicate the information.
    Shunting photos to a home page was simple way of letting people see your pictures (mostly electron micrsoscope pictures in my case!) - I could send the link in an email and bingo! XP users can join the fun.
    So unless Apple read this and come to their senses sometime soon and allow multi location editing of iweb AND reinstate homepage support in iPhoto '06 I need to desperatly find a solution.
    I notice a similar rant (though more a slanging affair at Apple has been locked! - why?)
    I will have to reinstall iPhoto '05 on the iMac at least. Apparently it is possible to run both concurrently using an external/partitioned drive with the OS on it, is this correct?
    I assume this means the other drive with the OSX on it will thus have it's own directory structure Library/Application Support etc - so there will be not conflict with the main system. Is this correct? What about my home directory - will iPhoto '05 and iPhoto '06 display the same photos - just with a different interface?
    On the iMac I will just need to use the start up disks which have iPhoto '05 on them.
    Other options involve getting an other web server and use something like Dreamweaver (well actually MacJournal has a simple web page creation tool - enough for me!) - but again I will have my swift work flow ruined.
    I could spend hours fiddling with this - but I think a back step to iphoto '05 on my imac is the only option - but I lose out on the vast photo storage that iphoto '06 allows. On balance it is the better option.
    Any one out there have a basic run through of what I need to do - or any one have any ideas? I am not a computer dunce - I simply don't have the time to be constantly fiddling with things.
    As they say "you can take my money, my belongings, maybe even my missus! - all are replaeable - but no one can replace time wasted!

    Welcome to iLife 06,
    This is a major problem, and you'll notice that this discussion area is ripe with users like you and I who are furious over this. Apple has just orphaned Homepage.
    Here's a thread where we were discussing it and some people posted work arounds. Notice that this thread has been locked! The only locked thread I've ever seen on an Apple board. What's that all about?!
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=331564&tstart=0
    Share your concerns directly with Apple. Let's hope that an upgrade or batch comes out soon that re-enables Homepage or that at least provides some way to migrage the pictures over. I have 100s of such pictures, now orphaned.
    Best,

  • IWeb and old homepage file sharing

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm having better luck with iWeb and progress is being made. My question is:
    (Since I have many of my stories and images scanned as .pdfs I want to put them somewhere and then just make one link back to the stored files so that my editors and readers can pick and download what they want.)
    Should I use my idisk to store the pdfs in bulk or should I use something that iWeb has that I don't know about?
    -Mark

    I want to put them somewhere and then just
    make one link back to the stored files so that my
    editors and readers can pick and download what they
    want.
    You could put them all in your iDisk public folder and then create an iWeb page that consists of a list of individual hyperlinks to these files. Or you could create an iWeb page with links to all these files while they are on your local drive, and it will copy them and upload them as an integral part of the iWeb site. You might want to test the options with just a couple files to see what works best.

  • IWeb and a new computer

    I have a new macbookpro, and want to access my old (from previous mac laptop) IWeb website and make changes to it, but when I open IWeb on the new computer, it prompts me to start all over again. Can I get in to my old iWeb and be able to edit it?

    Similar but different issue.....
    The hard drive on this laptop, my MacBook Pro, crashed and was replace. Much of the personal data was lost. Leopard was also installed.
    I have several .Mac accounts. And have sevral websites that have been created. The sites that were constructed using .Mac Homepage I can still access and edit. HOW DO I ACCESS AND EDIT THOSE SITES CREATED WITH iWeb?
    Aside from the disappointment and inconveneince of having my hard drive crash and losing personal data, the service experience has been horrible. My first call to Apple care led me to the .Mac support. After no response in the prescribed "48 hours", I arrived at the Apple Store in Phoenix armed with my ProCare card. NOTHING! No one could help and I was directed back to either Apple Care or the .Mac suppofrt web pag....Apple ****.
    This is the Applke nitemare the PC clones speak about.
    Thanx for the help, if it ever comes....

  • Is Iweb replacing homepage?

    Is Iweb replacing homepage? If not, which is better and what is the difference!

    the biggest difference is that homepage is web based whereas you upload you files to you idisk and construct the pages online, which can be done from any virtually any computer (even a pee cee) anywhere.
    Iweb is created on your computer and the final product is uploaded to idisk or a server. It can be updated from other locations or computers (apple), but you would need the "domain" file created by iweb and the ability to run iweb.
    The comments I've seen don't indicate that apple is doing away with homepage, but who knows.
    Iweb is a lot more flexible than homepage and hopefully as it goes thought a couple of updates they will work a few problems out.

  • IWeb and .mac confusion

    I was hoping someone could enlighten me on the difference between these two URL's:
    http://web.mac.com/twood20/iWeb/Site/NYC.html and
    http://web.mac.com/twood20/iWeb/Videos/Our%20Day%20at%20Boomers.html
    and how they relate to my .mac homepage. I created and published these two files in iWeb but on two different Macs.
    When I sign in to my .mac homepage under "My Pages" I have two links.
    The URL's for those links are
    http://web.mac.com/twood20/iWeb/Site/Disneyland%202006.html and
    http://web.mac.com/twood20/iWeb/Site/UK%20Soccer%20Camp.html
    obviously neither of these URL's match the two URL's I first spoke about.
    However, from within iWeb I can see and visit many of the other pages/sites that I've built. If I type the URL http://web.mac.com/twood20 then it takes me to yet another page/site that I built(which incidentally, when I type in the URL and hit enter the URL changes to http://web.mac.com/twood20/iWeb/Site/NYC.html
    I guess to make a long deal short, I don't understand how iWeb and .mac work together in order for me to publish any or all of the pages/sites I want to make sure get published. If anyone has some useful information for me so that I can get all of my pages/sites published that would be great. Thanks in advance.

    First take note of iWeb's Help viewer advice about naming your web pages:
    Browsers convert spaces in site names to "%20." To avoid these symbols, use an underscore, hyphen, or some other character instead of a space. Also avoid non-Roman characters; many get converted to numbers when you publish.
    Other characters aren't recommended for use in website names, including: forward and backward slashes (/ \), brackets ([ ]), tilde (~), exclamation point , question mark (?), "at" sign (@), number sign (#), dollar sign ($), ampersand (&), asterisk (*), colon (:), equal sign (=), comma (,), and double quotation marks ("). Using these characters may result in names with strange numbers in them.
    Also take a look at this Apple document:
    Publish to your .Mac account from more than one computer...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303045
    In general the format of your URLs is this...
    http://web.mac.com/twood20/iWeb/OneOfMySites/APageWithinThatSite.html
    I'm not sure what the significance is of the pages listed in "My Pages" on .Mac, when or why that list is updated and, anyway, only you will see that list. What really matters is when someone types in your site name, does it go to your site? I suggest you clean up your page names to avoid the %20's, read that Apple document, then if you still have a specific question post back here.

  • Iweb/.mac homepage???

    I'm new to mac web publishing and to .mac. I have created a web page through iweb without much problem. Can anyone tell me the difference between the homepage on .mac and my web pages I created on iweb and published to .mac? My home page still pops up with all the options to create a look but I'm confused on how to create something out of it.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.... lakerider

    Another way to separate sites so you can work on them independently is to use iWebSites.
    I use iWebSites to manage multiple 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 Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.
    Do you Twango?

  • How do I access iWeb and iDVD on my new Macbook Air?

    I just bought a new MacBook Air and read that I can load iPhoto 11, iMovie 11, and GarageBand from the app store, which I did. I don't see iWeb or iDVD anywhere, on the MacBook or in the app store.
    I guess iWeb and iDVD are part of the iLife 11 package, which does not come with the MacBook Air (thought it did), but I wanted to check in case I am overlooking something.

    If you have another Mac that you can connect to your Air with a local area network or int the Target Disk Mode,  Transferring files between two computers using FireWire, you would be able to run the iLife 11 installer disk on the other Mac and select the Air as the location for the installation.

  • I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have bought a copy of Apple iLife 11 on dvd a so that I can install iWeb and idvd, when I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate

    I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have just bought Apple iLife 11 on dvd so that I can install iWeb and iDVD, as macs no longer ship with these apps. When I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate.
    Next problem is that when moving through the installer and get to custom install, as I only want to install iDVD and iWeb, I am presented with the option to install iDVD, Sounds & Jingles and iWeb, but not sure what is going on with the other 3 options iLife Support etc, they seem to be greyed out but still look like they may install over the top of the newer versions already on my imac. Is it ok for me to just go ahead and hit install? Or do I have a problem?

    Yep, just install iDVD (plus sounds and jingles) and iWeb if you want it (but note that iWeb apparently won't work if you upgrade to Mountain Lion).
    Then use Software Update to get any late iDVD updates.
