IWeb Domain and MobileMe

I have two mobile me accounts and maintain two websites. I back up the domain(s) on removable hard drives and usually work on the site from a variety of office and home computers via the removable HD, save domain to removable HD and then upload being sure I am logged into MobileMe as the correct "user" for the site. Is it possible to upload the site to thel MobileMe site that corresponds to the accounts...download the domains from any location, update, and then upload to the host and then to my MobileMe account.... naturally being sure I am logged incorrectly.
Also, is there a way, to work on each site separately and upload to the Mac host without having to sign in separately to the individual MobileMe account that corresponds to the site?
Appreciate the advice. Thanks.

download the domains from any location, update, and then upload to the host
If you are talking about storing your domain files on a server someplace, I think this is possible in theory but may not work well in practice because of their possibly large size and the time needed to download and upload them.

You certainly don't need sign on to anything to just work on a site in iWeb. But to publish it to the right place you have to at least set system preferences/mobileme to the username/password of the right account before hitting the Publish button.

Personal Domain and MobileMe

Once I changed my settings to my Personal Domain, I could no longer post my second MobileMe site. Can I use a Personal Domain and have more than one MobileMe site?

This is incorrect. You can only use the personal domain name option with CNAME forwarding ONCE for every MobileMe account. If you want other sites, then you can publish as many as you want and they will have the url http://web.me.com/username/sitename. If you want to use domain names with these sites, then you can, but you have to use ordinary masked or unmasked web forwarding so that your domain is forwarded to web.me.com/username/sitename.
Also, why do you persist in placing links that don't work? Try clicking on your WordPress link and it comes up every time with server not found.

IWeb Domain and backing up

I want to ensure I have properly copied my iWeb Files to another hard drive for backup and know how to do that. Problem I have is that when I look in my iWeb folder it shows the Domain.sites2 file plus a folder under my name and within the folder sub folders for all my pages except they are not up to date with the names I now use and one of the page names is not there.
What I can't remember is if that breakdown of pages has been copied by me from somewhere else and that everything is just contained within the Domain.sites2 file?
Thanks

The domain file in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb contains all the data for your website and is the file that you need to backup.
The other folder is probably published files that usually would go into the Sites folder in your Home folder. These files are of no value - especially if they are outdated - as you can't load them into iWeb.

Are iWeb '08 and MobileMe working properly yet?

I have just bought iLife '08, and been exploring my MobileMe account (been a .Mac user for 4+ years) but read on this forum recently that some of you guys were having major issues with iWeb '08, MobileMe and publishing your iWeb sites.
Are the known issues resolved?
It would be nice to install the new software this week - I have one website in iWeb, published thru my .Mac / MMe account. I haven't made any updates to it since the MMe switch.

IWeb Domain and file basics

A couple questions for a newbie iWeb user:
1) I created a website in iWeb logged onto my friend's MacBookPro and through his wife's iWeb account. Subsequently, I opened my own iWeb account. How can I reassociate my created website with my iweb account instead of hers.
2) I got a new domain through GoDaddy.com that I want to associate the above file with. How do I do this?
3) Is there a way to copy the pages of the current iWeb file design and rename them as another website - which I will then subsequently edit and add to? How is this done?
If anyone can please direct me to where to read about these issues - if not inform me directly - it will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Illiniwin

This fellow has put together some good pointers.

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!

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 09 and web site on MobileMe...

Hi !
I hope that somebody will be able to tell me how to resolve this issue...
I did reinstall from scratch my MacBookPro and install iLife '11. I didn't use Time Machine to restore backups but choose to reinstall all the softwares that I have. All my documents backup are on my iDisk on MobileMe.
I did publish a web site with iWeb' 09 at www.marcmartineau.com .
Now, it's time to update this site. There is NO WAy I can open this site with iWeb'11 as it asks me all the time to create a new site or a new page.
Do you know how I can open my old published site with iWeb'11 ?
I just hope that I'm clear with my question... As english is not my native language...
THanks everybody for your help !
Marc

Firstly, it is still iWeb 09 that you are using - it is iLife 11, but iWeb was not updated so it is still 09 that you are using.
You did make a backup of your site if you have a published site. iWeb will not be able to open a site that has already been published as it has no import facility for html.
If you don't have a backup of your domain.sites files found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites, then there is nothing you can do except re-build your site from scratch.
Remember the importance of backing up your domain.sites file next time.

Will I still be able use mobileme iweb domain forwarding in icloud ?

Will I still be able use mobileme iweb domain forwarding in icloud ?
I have dozens of iweb sites hosted on mobileme pointing to www domais using web masking .
Will this also be a possibility with icloud ?
Also is iweb finished ?

At the moment it seem probably not, so you had better look for alternative hosting with GoDaddy or HostExcellence.
Also, remember that iWeb is a package that is used for building websites, no more and no less, so if you still have iWeb on your Mac then you can still use it whether or not you have MobileMe or not - iWeb can still be used - if it exists then you can use it but rather look for an alternative host.

IWeb and godaddy and MobileMe

I'm not sure how to reconcile this b/c web design is completely new to me.
I just purchased a domain name on godaddy.com, and need to find a host.
I understand that godaddy.com has a hosting option, but it doesn't appear that it is friendly to Mac users -- can you even use their web design program if you have a Mac?
I have iWeb 08, and would like to use it to design my new site, and I do not have a MobileMe account.
Do I need to get a MobileMe account and use that as the host in order to create a website in iWeb, and then point godaddy to the MobileMe account as the host? Or is it possible to use godaddy as the host and design the site in iWeb?
Thanks!

I understand that godaddy.com has a hosting option, but it doesn't appear that it is friendly to Mac users -- can you even use their web design program if you have a Mac?
Countless Mac users have sites hosted at Godaddy, no problem. The do not use Godaddy's web design program, they use iWeb or some other Mac app.
Or is it possible to use godaddy as the host and design the site in iWeb?
Yes.

I made a copy of my iWeb domain file, but now both the copy and original is empty!

Please help. I am freaking out. I wanted to make a back-up of my domain file. I made a copy, so I could rename it, instead. when I opened it, it is empty! I have just lost two webistes! Is there anything I can do?

What is the size of the original domain file? A new domain file with one page is around 160 KB in size. If you domain file is much larger then it probably does have the files in it that make up your sites but probable has some damaged files in it preventing iWeb from opening correctly.
If that's the case move the copy to the Desktop and try the following:
close iWeb.
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
reboot.
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

IWeb and MobileMe Gallery

I am trying to upload pictures from the MobileMe Gallery. I have albums published but when I move the MobileMe widget to the web page I am creating it reads "No albums or movies". Please help.

I've jumpstarted the MMe widget with the following 2 fixes before:
Try this:
quit iWeb
go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
login with a bogus username and password like "Ying" and "Yang". This clears the caches.
login with your correct username and password.
launch iWeb and try again.
Ahother method that worked one time was:
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
launch iWeb and try again.
HOWEVER, a way to embed your MMe gallery and not worry about fixes is to go online and get the URL of your MMe gallery and plug it into the following code in an HTML snippet:
<script src="http://gallery.mac.com/g/flash/photowidget_iefix.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
writeObj("http://gallery.me.com/MobileMeName/XXXXXX", 226, 199);
</script>
Thanks to Wyodor for the code.
Where XXXXXX is the number of your MobileMe gallery

I have iWeb '08 and just switched from Mobileme to GoDaddy and using Filezilla. Now when I make changes through iWeb it doesn't actually publish to my desktop folder. In fact, it doesn't publish at all but says that it did.

IWeb and MobileMe communication error! How to fix?

During work with iWeb, after I published site on MobileMe, I lost connections with my MM Gallery - widget window says "no movies/albums". Anybody can help?

That happens frequently. One method I have used to bring it back is to close iWeb and
1 - delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
2 - go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
3 - go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
4 - login with a bogus username and password like "Ying" and "Yang". This clears the caches.
5 - login with your correct username and password.
6 - launch iWeb and try again.

My iWeb can't open. A sign comes up and says:"Can't open file "~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2." Help?

I love iWeb. It has many advantages over on-line web-builders, but finding help is not easy.
My iWeb just stopped working. When I try to open it, a sign comes up "Can’t open file “~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2.”
Can anyone help we fix this error and get back to work?
David aT [email protected]

Happens a lot :
Can't open file...
Solution is nill other than delete the prefs.

Iweb '08 and Personal Domain/GoDaddy

I had a terrible time with this before and so gave up and used domain forwarding but now I wanted to try again. I researched here in the forums because I remember that there were a LOT of threads about it. I found this Step by step:
1. Login into your Godaddy account
2. Click on Manage Domains and click on your domain name
3. Click on the "Total DNS" link
4. Under Host click on the edit link for "www"
5. For "Alias Name" use: www
6. For 'Points to Host Name" use: web.mac.com
7. Click "Ok"
8. Should update within 24 hours
9. Mine was updated overnight
But trying to follow it still gave me error messages at godaddy. I finally called them and realized what the problem was for me. After you do step 3 and are presented with the Total DNS panel, the first window says A(Host)Host and that is NOT what you want.
The second window says CNAMES(Aliases)Host and that IS the one you want. You see WWW is the first in the list in that box. Follow the line all the way over to the right and click on the PENCIL and then follow steps 5-7.
Just adding this in case anyone was still having problems like I did.

Thank you very much for this post!
