Iweb alternatives without mobileme

Does anyone have suggestions on where to publish iweb sites now that mobileme is closed?

You will need to find a 3rd party web host to upload your website to. Depending on the version of iWeb you are using you have a couple of publishing options:
iWeb '09 (3.0.4) you can publish to an FTP Server or a local folder
iWeb '08 you can publish your website to a local folder
I have been using IX Webhosting for several years with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across. The have plans that start at $3.95 a mo (USD) and their customer service is top notch.

IWeb publishing without MobileMe

Hello,
I am a beginner at making my own website. I don't have a MobileMe account and understand it's too late to get one. iCloud says it does not offer iWeb publishing. I have a template that I've put a few hours into on iWeb that I would like to use, although I could start over if I had to. Just did general searches for best rated web hosting services and read about iPage and FatCow, for example. Should I use one of these third party sites, or is there a way to keep it within the Mac family so to speak? I need to be able to post large files like music, photos, possibly movies, and I need to be able to password protect them so only certain people can access it, and therefore avoid copyright infringement of songs, for example.
Thank you,
Eileen

HostExcellence.com offers a package with one free domain name for $3.95/mo. with a 2 year committment. You can choose any domain name you'ld like as long as it's not already taken. Buying all the variations is a bit much uhnless your website might be your only means of income. HE also has a extended package for $7.95/mo with 3 free domain names. You have lots of choices out there.

IWeb alternative without learning HTML

I already have a website that I built in Yahoo's Sitebuilder but I hate going to the old PC to update my site. What is the best program to use that will allow me to import the HTML files and edit them without having to learn code?

I'm just familarizing myself with a new app to see if it's suitable for someone with absolute no knowledge at all.
What about Goldfish? It's for Mac and Win alike.
http://www.fishbeam.com/en/goldfish/
Comes with templates, and you can create websites faster than iWeb. It even has a FTP client build in.
I use the demo, so some features aren't available, such as publishing. But that didn't prevent me from publishing the sites anyway. You can save your work and create templates you can use again.
Here's are some new-click-publish default templates for your delight:
http://home.kpn.nl/wyodor/Goldfish_City/
http://home.kpn.nl/wyodor/Goldfish_Book/
http://home.kpn.nl/wyodor/Goldfish_DarkPlastic/
I also use templates by [Free CSS Templates|http://www.freecsstemplates.org>
I intend to use them to create templates in Goldfish (and iWeb). But that is a tedious task with a lot of checking to do. But it can be done. One site, not on display, took me about 2 hours to prepare.
Here's the [Lotus flower template|http://www.freecsstemplates.org/templates/previews/lotusflower> done in iWeb:

Try this community: MobileMe on my Mac: MobileMe: Apple Support Communities.
And you can continue to use iWeb for some time to come. The following will explain:
It's now confirmed that iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.

However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
In addition the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on.
HOWEVER, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still currently available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those copies still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.

Synching without MobileMe

Hi,
Without MobileMe, is the only way to sync my iPhone with my Mac is via cable? ... In other words, is it not possible to sync via Wi-Fi home network?
Thank you in advance!
PS. I have iPhone 3gs running iOS 4.2

Cable is it for direct sync. An alternative is to sync Google Calendar/contacts with your Mac and your iPhone with Google.

Publishing multiple iWeb accounts to mobileme

I wish to have multiple iWeb websites published through MobileMe. I know that I can go through Go Daddy to publish sites. But that can be clumsy and is not nearly as easy as going through MobileMe. Can you purchase a 'family deal' or 'package deal,' allowing multiple iWeb accounts through MobileMe?
Msgr. Tom

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can have as many sites published to a MMe account as there is room to house them. HOWEVER, only one site can be assigned to a domain name using the CNAME method. Any other domain names must use the URL forwarding to other sites in the same MMe account.
A family account will let you have one site using the CNAME method of domain name forwarding per account - 5 accounts. However, you still will have to purchase the domain name to use. With a single account you can have the 5 sites with domain names for about $50 less than a family account.
Here are some topics and sites with more info about CNAME and domain names:

Trying to publish a new iWeb site to mobileme

My son is part of a family account I have and he is experimenting with creating a blog using iweb
Is publisihing on Mobileme still supported?
We are trying to publish but it's selling us to sign in (and we are signed in) and can't progress further
I know that no future for IWeb publishing to MobileMe has been announced but is creating a new blog for an existing member of a family pack still supported?
Thanks in advance
James

Yes, if you already have a MobileMe account, then you can publish until June next year.
The Family Pack has different log in accounts, so just log out and then log in again.

Published my iWeb files to MobileMe but can't get to domain

I've finally been able to publish my iWeb files to MobileMe (after 2 days of trying -- a message kept appearing that said "iWeb couldn’t publish to MobileMe. The MobileMe servers are busy. Please try again in a few minutes."), but now when I try to go to my domain name (www.julie-harrison.com) it automatically redirects to "www.web.me.com".
Help!
juleslarosa

Well, have you followed all the instructions about linking your domain name to MobileMe?
Have you entered your domain name in your MobileMe personal domain name settings? If not, then go and do this.
You then need to go to your domain name registrar and forward your domain name to web.me.com, by going to the DNS settings and setting up a new CNAME forwarding. Have you done this? If not, then go and do it.
You need to do all these things for your domain name to work.
By the way, it is web.me.com. If you keep typing www.me.com, then no it won't work.
Your url will always be http://web.me.com/username/sitename.

IWeb and .Mac (MobileMe) Galleries

Went to add some iWeb pages with links to a few of my .Mac (or now MobileMe) Galleries. However, when I go to the "Insert" menu and select .Mac Web Gallery I'm informed that "No albums or movies are available." Now I know for certain I have 5 Web Galleries (you can even see them at gallery.me.com/noraa). Is iWeb not seeing these galleries because of the transition to MobileMe. Is anyone else having a similar problem. Thanks for all you're help!
P.S. I am properly logged into MobileMe in the System Preferences and can access my iDisk via the Finder, sync items, access my email, etc.

Sorry - did not help. The only effect was, that my website was lost and a new blank website came up.
But it is more clear that it seems to be a bug in iWeb:
Only web-albums appear in iWeb that are created and fed by iPhoto.
But mine are fed by Aperture!
There were two albums left which were connected to iPhoto. I went to mobileMe web interface and got "info" for the two albums which were still connected to iPhoto and changed this to Aperture.
The result is: no album is left to show up in iWeb as a "MobileMe web gallery" to be inserted as a widget.

I have 25 gigs of space in iCloud. I used to publish my iWeb sites to MobileMe. Is there a way to now publish this iWeb sites to iCloud?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Apple didn't include web storage on iCloud. There are other web hostings (Blogspot, GoDaddy, etc.)

How to sync iCal between iPhone and MacBookPro without MobileMe?

Hello,
How can I sync iCal between iPhone and MacBookPro without MobileMe?
I'm still using MobileMe, but I will stop soon.
I'm using my iPhone in India a lot to create new events or to add new contacts. At the end of the day I would like to able to sync it with my MacBookPro without using MobileMe. Internet Connection is often very bad in that area. The iPhone I only use without UMTS and all that Data Transfering stuff. Best for me would be to sync directly by wire or Bluetooth if possible. If you have a solution with and without Internet Connection, that would be very helpfull to me.

On the Mac, in iTunes with iPhone attached, click on the iPhone section. Go to the "info" tab. There you will see a list of items that can be synced. Make sure that "sync addressbook contacts" is checked, along with the appropriate choices under it.
Don't know what else to say, it works fine here.
Hope this helps.

Maintaining an iWeb site from multiple computers without MobileMe

Hi,
I've chosen iWeb '09 to create the web presence for one of my hobby clubs (RC aircraft). The club doesn't have a MobileMe account, and I've used the FTP upload feature in iWeb '09 to publish the site. This has been working perfectly for me, but what I'd really like is to be able to continue working from either my MacBook or my iMac, depending upon my location. Sometimes I'm away from home and have some free time to update the site, but other times I am at home and I want to work on it from the big-screen iMac.
I realize that this can be done via copying domain files to a shared drive, and my thought is to share an external hard drive to both my network, and over the internet via an Airport Extreme. The only documents I was able to find regarding this referred to hosting on MobileMe. My only worry is that this may not be possible if I'm NOT hosting the site on MobileMe. In another life, I used FrontPage to publish such hobby sites, and it could work on the files from any copy of FP on any computer. Though I don't really miss FP as a whole, I do miss that feature.
Yes, I know it will likely be suggested that the club open a MobileMe account. I have one and I love it, but let's face it... 100 bucks a year is a bit much. The club's entire web hosting service isn't even half that.

Before I go off on a trip I upload a zipped copy of my domain file to the server. I can then download it onto another Mac in another location to work on it.
You'll find another method at the bottom of this page under "Updating your Website from Multiple Locations" .....

IWeb without MobileMe

I'm probably being really dense here...but. When I started using iWeb I was testing out a web-site through my trial period account at MobileMe. But ultimately I decided to register my own domain elsewhere, so I'm not using MobileMe. My question is: when I was still on the trial period of MobileMe - every time I imported something new to my web-page it appeared as a file in iDisk. So a vidoe I had on my site appeared as an mp4 in the iWeb folder on iDisk, along with jpegs, etc. If I'm not using MobileMe - and the iDisk gets disabled - where is all this stuff going? I'm only asking because I'm trying to figure out the best way to manage everything. When I save latest changes to my site in iWeb - where is it saving everything to before I publish it since it's no longer iDisk and MobileMe. Is it saving it to the company that's hosting my web-site?
Thanks!

iWeb saves your website data to a domain file whose default location is Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
Its important to realize that, once files are published from iWeb locally on your Mac or to MobileMe or another server they cannot be imported back into the application. If you lose this file, or it gets corrupted, you have lost your website so its really important to back it up and keep that backup up to date.

Using iWeb without MobileMe?

I would like to use iWeb but don't have a MobileMe account, & don't really want to get one since I have no iPhone or iPad. Does anyone have experience publishing onto another server? Which ones work best? Is it free? Is it complicated? Please help! Thanks

iWeb '09 has a built in FTP or you can publish to a local folder and upload using an FTP application.
When choosing hosting you get what you pay for.
This page will give you an idea of what to look for when choosing hosting.

IWeb '08 - "Publishes" But Not Viewable without MobileMe Login?

I'm new to iWeb. I created a simple site with a few pages, and then "Published All" to MobileMe. When I view the site, it looks fine. When others try, they get the "Are you looking for something on MobileMe?" page. I have looked to be sure that the site is not "private".
I've been reading and reading and can't find a solution. Is there a trick to this?

I can move the question to the other forum. I was reading around so much I got a bit lost on where I was. I looked in the help guide about privacy settings and went to the "site inspector" to double check.
The site is: http://web.me.com/cerina1/CDMHS
Sorry.
