IWeb - do you need a .Mac account?

I have plenty of web space with my ISP - can I use this with iWeb or do I need a .Mac account? Thanks.

Just a guess . . . but the check to see that the startup page is the right name. It may be index.htm or index.html or default.htm. You can ask your ISP tech support.
If this is the case, I'd suggest you create an alias (or link) to the page that your iWeb is generating, so that you won't have to do that everytime -- you'd just have to copy the files.
Hope this helps.

Do you need a .mac account to use Mail?

I'm not able to use Mail, even though I'd like to. I don't have, or intend to get, a .mac account.
Is the program otherwise usable?
I have a yahoo account. It would be nice to use Mail in order to send email using Yahoo. Is this possible?

You do not need a .Mac account.
It works with any POP or IMAP email server.

It must be true. I read it on the Internet!

Do I need a .Mac account to use iWeb?

I took a seminar about iWeb, and was under the impression that I could create web pages and then publish them on my own website, without subscribing to a .Mac account is this true?
I may subscribe to .Mac later to separate my two businesses, but I'd like to build a couple of pages, first, and then build my .Mac site later.

You are absolutely correct. You do not need to be a .Mac subscriber to use iWeb. You can make your pages in iWeb and then use the "Publish to Folder" command to put your website files in a folder that can then be uploaded to your own web hosting service.
The are certain features, though, that only work with .Mac. These include the hit counters, search, comments, slideshows, etc.

Do I need a Mac Account to publish my website using iWeb

I don't have a .mac account because my internet service provider gives me some webspace. Can I use iweb to create websites with the service I have? or do I need to purchase a mac account and use their service?
Thanks,

You can use any server space you have. Here are some tips:

Using iWeb- Do I need a .Mac acct & Does it Support Sound Clips?

Hi Everyone,
I am new to the Apple forums. I am returning back to the superior product of Apple after dealing with a very annoying HP for way too long! I was wondering if you can create a web page using iWeb without having a .Mac account? If you can, can anyone tell me if you can add sound clips to the web pages you create? I am a musician and I would like to put some of my music on the web page. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me!
Terri
PS My computer came with v 1.1.2 of iWeb. I do not have iLife added to my machine.

Yes, you would sign up with a hosting service such as GoDaddy. Then in iWeb you would do: File > Publish to a Folder...
You would need an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program to upload your folder of HTML to your hosting service. Here are just a couple from the many that are available:
http://www.panic.com/transmit/
http://www.fetchsoftworks.com/
can anyone tell me if you can add sound clips to the web pages you create?
Yes, you can. Here are the instructions from iWeb's Help viewer:
Adding songs or other audio files...
If you want to share your original compositions, you can add audio files to your website. Visitors can listen to the audio while they are visiting the page.
To add audio:
1. In the sidebar (on the left side of the iWeb window), select the page you want to add the audio to.
2. Do one of the following:
◼ To add a single audio file, drag it to the page. If you drag the audio file to the image placeholder on a blog page (the Blog or Podcast template), iWeb creates a podcast.
◼ To add more than one audio file, press Command while you click songs, and then drag the files to the page (not to an image placeholder).
◼ To add links to the songs in the iTunes Store (not the audio files themselves), drag a playlist from the Media Browser or iTunes, or a song from the iTunes Store, to the page.
3. If you added audio files (not links), you can add a graphic or a text box with a solid color fill to the placeholder above each song’s audio controls.
When you select an audio file on a page, its name appears in the Metrics Inspector.
To see a list of supported audio file types, visit the QuickTime website.

How do I create two iWeb sites using a single .Mac account?

I would like to create two distinct sites/URLs using iWeb and a single — not a family — .Mac account. Is this possible? If so, what are the basic steps?
When I read related forum posts, it would seem to me that one site would overwrite the other site when I publish. Yes or no?

I would like to create two distinct sites/URLs using
iWeb and a single — not a family — .Mac account. Is
this possible? If so, what are the basic steps?
If you just do the obvious and use File > New Site in iWeb, you do create two distinct sites with different urls. However, you cannot exactly duplicate page names in the sites or publish changes in one without publishing changes in the other. The short default url web.mac.com/username/iWeb normally goes to the top site on the list within iWeb.
If you create two sites with distinct names in different accounts on your machine, they should not overwrite each other, and they should also have distinct urls. However I think that the
index.html file which tells browsers what to do with the default short url web.mac.com/username/iWeb may get confused, so that deleting that or modifying it manually might be desirable.

How come you can't add comments to blog that you create in IWeb unless you have a mobileme account when you can no longer get an account.

I have a site that i'm working on for class and i need to be able to have people comment on my blogs and stiff and they can't because im using FTP because I don't have a mobileme account. WIll this be changing soon that you can all comments to your site using IWeb.

You need to use a commenting system like Disqus or Intense Debate...

HT5527 So do you need separate iCloud accounts for your iphone AND your laptop?

iCloud complimentary storage plans expire tomorrow. Do we need separate iCloud accounts for iphone and laptop?

I'm thinking you had a Mac/Me.com account like I did that got transferred to iCloud. We were kinda grandfathered in to 25gig storage while the basic iCloud account storage is 5. As far as I know that storage plan is the only thing that expires tomorrow. You'll just be reverted back to the basic 5gig storage.
As far as anything else you don't need to have a different iCloud account, remember only one iCloud account can be used for the full suite of services on your phone but you could use a different one for iTunes and App store purchases if you wanted to. My wife and I share one account for those purchses on all our devices and computers but I do also use a separate iCloud account as my main one on my phone to keep our emails, messages, etc. separate.

Do i need a .mac account to use i web?

i already have a domain and was wondering if i can use iweb to upload to it. or does iweb only work with .mac accounts
thanks

When iWeb starts, it prompts for your .mac account. You can choose 'no' and then the main window of iWeb will be opened. After you finished preparing your web site, choose 'Publish to a folder' from menu. You will get all of the html's, script files, etc, in the folder you selected. What you have to do next is to copy (or ftp) the published files to your web server and your web site will be there. Enjoy!

Do I need a .mac account to use os x mail?

Just wondering. TIA.

No, you don't need a .mac to use mail.app. It will work with standard POP or IMAP email servers.
Check your ISP's help pages. I'm sure you will find the settings needed to set up mail.app. If they don't specifically show how to set up your mac, use the settings shown for Outlook Express.

Can iWeb be used without a .Mac account?

Just wondering, is it possible to use iWeb to create .html pages I can save and upload to _my own_ web space?
Or is iWeb tied to .Mac, so it can only be used if you have an account?

Here are some tips:

Does iWeb can be used without .Mac account?

For example, on any server via FTP or any other methods.
Thanks

Yes, the problem is when the server forces the wrong encoding.
http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/iwebchars.html
The page above does not fix the problem, it talks about the issue but does not solve it. And the pages that that page refers to talks about .htaccess file setup.
Many people are working on this issue and so far no solution.
IIS web servers may work fine, it's the unix servers using Apache that are not able to work with iweb. Line one of the code in all .html files is the problem. When I delete that line of code, the iweb pages work. This is not a good fix because everytime you update your website in iweb you would have to delete that first line of code again and again and again. The only fix is to figure out the proper .htaccess file encoding to get the server to read the files properly.
So far no one can do this.

Accessing iCal from .mac account

I've been able to publish my iCal without trouble, but I'm wondering if I can access and edit my calendar from a different (and PC) computer, while in my .mac account? Or, am I only able to edit it while in the iCal application?
Also, am I able to view my calendar from my .mac page, without publishing it for the public? I'd like to look at it from work... but don't need/want my friends viewing it!

See this thread: Amy Vandawalker, "ical and multiple computers", 03:31pm Aug 29, 2005 CDT
The short answer is no; you can't edit iCal calendars from a PC. You need a .Mac account and Macs to edit.
Seems like everyone has the same problem.
As far as private publishing, .Mac is not private as far as publishing Calendars go (though someone would have to know or guess you .mac name and calendar name to get to it).
Alternatively you can use iCalX: http://www.icalx.com/
It apparently has password protection.
