Iweb go daddy .mac publishing - very confused

Hiya,
I know there is probably a thread out there that can help but I have spent hours looking and nothing seems to be solving my problem. I have bought a domain name from go daddy, parked it (didn't purchase a host as I want .mac to be my host). I have then gone into the cname and pointed to web.mac.com, which then said pending and now looks llike all the other cnames, so thik that bit has worked. I have also set up a personal domain on .mac. I then click on publish in iweb and when I view my domain name (www.beccihamiltonimages.co.uk or beccihamiltonimages.co.uk) the page comes up saying I am parked at go daddy.
Can anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong???

Perhaps this old thread will help:

  • Anyone know how to publish iWeb site to .mac groups?

    Hi all
    This is my first message here... So... Be patient plz
    I'm afraid that I know the answer, but I hope that someone can tell me(us) more...
    Is it true that it is NOT possible to publish a site from iWeb to a .mac group?
    Why this feature is missing???
    I've heard that this was present in iWeb 07. Is it true?
    Anyone knows if it will be available in a future patch??
    sigh, I've just buyed a .mac accounts to publish project for private groups... :(((
    Thanks to all for support. Excuse me for my bad English
    Mayran

    It's Sad.
    Groups are, in my opinion, the best feature of .mac account.
    Project, club, private site of people... great things.
    It's why I have payed for this account.
    But if you can't use the integration of mac to build up information
    it's very useless and to me it doesn't appear too professional
    from apple to cut off this feature.
    My fault, I haven't seen this particular information.
    Anyway thanks for the information
    I hope apple will reintegrate this feature

  • I'm using a Mac. After swithcing to ICloud will I be able to use IWeb to upload and publish my sites hosted by other servers like Prohosting ?

    iWeb has two other ways to publish your site...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
    ... and the second method allows you a choice of how you upload the files...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/URLs-Favicons.html
    Here's a publishing workflow checklist...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Website-Publishing-Wo rkflow.html
    The MobileMe only features can be replaced by alternatives...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Comments-Password-Protect.html
    If you have folders of assets outside of the main website folder on MobileMe, download them from the Apple server. From the Finder Go menu, follow the path iDisk/My iDisk/ to get there. Your website files are in the Web/Sites folder. Drag any files/folders onto the desktop.
    Use an FTP application to upload these assets to the root folder on your new server...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Upload.html
    ...and change the relevant URLs to...
    http://www.domain-name.com/Folder-Name/file-name.file-extension
    There are lots of options for hosting for about half the cost of MobileMe...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Website-Hosting.html
    If you have been using a web.me.com domain name, you need to register a new one. Most hosting services give you at least one free and registering with your hosting company will make forwarding and managing it a lot easier.
    Make sure you add the new name to Google and create, upload and enter a new sitemap.xml...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/SEO.html
    If you have inbound links on other sites...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Inbound-Link.html
    ... remember to inform the webmasters of you new URL.

  • IWeb page didn't publish to .mac

    I created a web site in iWeb and chose command "publish to .mac" when it was ready. I got an error message saying it didn't publish, but not why. (Yes, I already have a .mac account.)
    The page also does not appear under the URL http://web.mac.com/[YourMemberName]. (With the latter part filled in correctly, minus the brackets.)
    Worst of all, I cannot find the original iWeb site, only the index copy saved as a Safari file, so I can't attempt to republish.
    One, where did my original work go?
    Two, why didn't it publish, and what can I do to fix it?

    To see the problem go to http://web.mac.com/robruhn
    I don't seen any problem. Perhaps it is just your local browser cache? Try clearing your cache and using another browser.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how the pc
    user can form the link?
    http://web.mac.com/robruhn should work just fine, unless the person at the other end is mistyping it or something. I would suggest that you get rid of the space in your site name and republish, as that might cause problems for some systems (i.e. change Site 3 to Site3 or Site-3 or Site_3).

  • Issues with publishing my iWeb site to .MAC - Progress bar freezes at 100%

    Well, as topic says, i'm having troubles publishing my iWeb site to .MAC now since upgrading to '08. The progress bar reaches full circle, but then nothing. Left it uploading to .Mac for well over 2 hours one time while out of the house...nada. Sometimes i get an error message, sometimes not and have to close iWeb while it's still publishing.
    Any feedback regarding this?
    Thanks in advance.
    /Rich

    Update: After 36 hours, I have successfully managed to upload my entire website via the "Publish All to .Mac" option. I now have blue indicators on the left side of my iWeb program in place of those pesky red ones. How did I do it? Well, I'm not sure. But on my last attempt I looked at the problem from a different perspective, so I took an alternate approach. I had a feeling that I was experiencing a network timeout issue caused by a 3rd party software, so I created a Whitelist entry on my website filtering software that allows unlimited access to "idisk.mac.com";; and "web.mac.com";; domains. I've got two kids at home, so I'm running the free OpenDNS Dashboard service on my network which provides content filtering (blocks adult site, phishing site, etc..). I started using this service two weeks ago. My last website update was a week before that. I figured I had nothing to loose by trying. To my surprise, it worked. Now, it took almost two hours to publish, of which the pie indicator was in the  "filled" position for a nerve racking hour. To reconfirm,  I then made a minor change to one of the pages on my website and re-published. This time using the "Publish to .Mac" option in place of the ALL option and once again it worked. It took less than 5 minutes. Now, I'm not sure if this is a coincidence, maybe Apple fixed the problem, or maybe my website filtering service was causing some type of time out issue all along??  Don't know.. But at least for now, I'm a happy camper since I have my site up.

  • What exactly is the difference between the new photos app for mac and iPhoto? i'm very confused...

    Ever since i've bought my macbook pro i used iPhoto to organize my photos. Now apple added this new photos app and i don't really understand what is it meant for? can someone please explain me the difference? I'm very confused about the purposes of both apps....

    Now apple added this new photos app and i don't really understand what is it meant for? can someone please explain me the difference? I'm very confused about the purposes of both apps....
    Photos is a completely new designed photo application, designed for Yosemite and the MacOS X versions to come. Many differences are under the hood. It uses the new system libraries and frameworks for more efficient image processing on the new powerful macs, like the mac pro, it is extensible by app extensions, if other developers will add functionality, and most important, it brings integration with iCloud Photo Library. With Photos you can store your photo library in iCloud and sync it across all devices.
    Some features are still missing however, and you can continue to use iPhoto, if you like. Or create a small Photos library for testing and explore Photos, while keeping your main libraries in iPhoto.

  • Will iWeb Allow You to Publish to Places other than .Mac?

    I like the functionality of iWeb, but wonder if it would allow me to publish to a site other than .Mac.

    Choose Publish to a Folder rather than Publish to .Mac, then use FTP to upload from your local folder to your non-.Mac server.
    You need to be aware, though, that you'll lose some of the benefits of .Mac publishing when you do this. Slideshows will be different, password protection won't be available, the hit counter won't work, and Comments and Search which came with version 1.1 won't function.

  • Go Daddy .Mac Help

    Dear wise person,
    I'm a touch confused and in need of some help!
    1. I configured my .mac to my personal domain name (www.mydomainname.com)
    2. I publish my iWeb site to .mac
    3. I visit www.mydomainname.com and my iWeb site is there... but I get horrible URLs: www.mydomainname.com/mac/blog/blog, etc.
    4. However, when I simply type in mydomainname.com (no www.) I get what I'm looking for - 1 simple URL that stays constant no matter where I navigate to within the website.
    Can someone point me towards how I get 3 to be 4? I want the same constant web address if someone types in www.mydomainname.com. I presume it's something I need to activate within godaddy?
    Many thanks in advance to the kind soul who spells this out for me.
    Dane.

    It seems like you have done two different things one change the Cname as instructed by apple and that gives you the long addresses in the bar. The other is to have your domain forwarded your domain name and masked it. It is the domain forwarding with masking that gives you the short addresses in the bar.
    Try removing the Cname and use only forwarding with masking, you can do that on the godaddy site under manage account it should give you what you want.

  • IWeb with multiple .Mac account

    Hi,
    I have 2 .Mac account (one for personal, and another one for business use). I have one MacBookPro
    I want to use iWeb developing 2 sites for my 2 .Mac account.
    What I usually do is to log in to my personal .Mac account, then make both sites (personal and business) the pages with iWeb.
    But the problem is that both sites I did in iWeb will get published to my personal account. Then it is wasting space on my idisk.
    Then I would have to publish everything to a folder and then copy only the pages of my business site into my business .Mac account.
    I wish there is an easier way.
    What would be the best way of doing this? (with no pain!)
    Thank you & Best regards.

    hi viravadee
    you can publish to 2 .mac accounts very easily.
    before you want to publish, close iweb,
    go under system preferences,
    then under .Mac settings change the username and the
    password. re-open iWeb and publish
    - BUT when, say you want to publish your
    office-site, make sure it is the top-page (just drag
    and drop the web-site to the top(in the sidebar
    under iWeb) because this tells the index to get
    linked to the first web-site. For your home adress,
    you do it the opposite way, your personal page goes
    first, and don't forget to change the username in
    the system preferences again.
    i guess that is the easiest way to publish to 2
    accounts.
    and it will allways publish everything, you will have
    to delete the other site from the iDisk
    Woah. I don't know if I would recommend this method. Why publish everything every time if you don't need to?
    viravadee, try this:
    1. Make two user accounts on your machine and set up each account for a different .mac account
    2. Separate your domain file into two separate domain files, each with one site
    Some directions are here:
    http://web.mac.com/mark8heaton/iWeb/DomainSeparation
    3. Put one domain file in each user account on your machine

  • Can someone help explain why my iWeb website doesn't publish correctly...

    I'm a professor and I'm trying to build a professional website--nothing fancy, six or seven pages and perhaps a blog. The site I have built on iWeb looks wonderful in iWeb, but once I publish the site (GoDaddy is hosting it), various text boxes, fonts, and background shapes get randomly distorted. Moreover, the site has different errors when viewed on my iPad, when viewed on my Macbook in Safari, and when viewed on Macbook in Mozilla. From what I've been gathering, web developers don't like iWeb. I'm not a computer expert, so I like the usability of iWeb (I'm not using any of their prefab templates--that might be the problem). I just want the site that I've built in the program (which looks good) to actually publish correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it is just pointing to other software...
    Thanks!

    What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?   Also if you're considering some serious blogging I suggest you create your blog on one of the established blogging sites like Posterous, WordPress or Blogger. This will allow you to manage your blog from any computer anywhere and even from some mobile devices.  With an iWeb blog you must have a Mac and the domain.sites2 file used to create the site.
    Then you can embed that blog into one of your iWeb pages as shown on this demo page: Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page

  • HT1444 The update vs. upgrade paths are very confusing. I'm running OS X v10.5.8. What upgrade products do I need in order to become current?

    The update vs. upgrade paths are very confusing. I'm running OS X v10.5.8 and trying to figure out what versions I need to purchase/download in order to become current.
    Thank you!

    Phone the Apple Store, order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and run Software Update. If your Mac supports it, buy 10.7 or 10.8 from the Mac App Store.

  • IWeb 08 won't publish

    iWeb 08 version 2.0.4
    I was registered with MobileMe and had a MacMail email account, but when Apple decided to end MobileMe and replace with iCloud, my IT person said not to upgrade to iCloud as there could be conflicts with my software.
    I managed to retain my MacMail accounts which are working fine now, and I did follow the instructions for iWeb before the changeover.
    Since the changeover from MobileMe to iCloud, I find that I can no longer publish iWeb, and when I try to access my website on Safari it comes up with 'Service not available'.
    I have been in touch with my IT person and my web hosting company and have spent the last few days trying to get this sorted, all to no avail.
    When I try to publish my iWeb site, a dialog box comes up with 'Publish your website to MobileMe" and then it takes me to iCloud and of course it cannot be published. Does this mean I'll never be able to make any more changes to my website? I could just live with that, or would it be worth considering upgrading to iWeb 09 or is that very painful? I'm very concerned that if I did upgrade to iWeb 09 from 08, that all my pages might change drastically.
    Hope someone can help me please through this very traumatic time.
    Thanks

    Its hardly worth your while upgrading to iWeb V3 since a lot of the features are redundant now that MobileMe has closed...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/mountain-lion.html
    For less than the cost of an out of date iLife disk with iWeb V3 you can buy a new application that is actually being developed!
    In the meantime, publishing your website to a local folder has the added advantage of allowing you to add tags for SEO ...

  • IWeb movie pages, when published -- no movies

    my iWeb movie pages, when published, came up lame, no movies, only areas where the movies should have been, all with faint Q's with question marks inside them
    LONG STORY SHORT, MAKE SURE YOUR MOVIES (as well as being located in your MAC HD and its proper MOVIE sidebar, that you CUT AND PASTE all your MEDIA YOU'RE USING IN YOUR iWeb SITE,
    CUT AND PASTE PHOTOS, MOVIES in dupe form right into your desktop where you've published your iWEB site folder.......that way, any browser, a .mac or outside web host, can locate your media better so that you don't get GHOST MEDIA PUBLISHING LIKE I DID...hopefully this will help both of us
    ALSO, in any iWeb website (named SITE in your desktop, or iDisc, or whatever or wherever you publish it, or even if you can find where on earth on your HD it is published, remember, if you have any MEDIA at all, NOTE IN MY CASE MEDIA MEANS MOVIES (not photos, so I'm not speaking to the photo blogs people, only iWeb MOVIE folks) anyway, all the compressed poetry video clips are right there, in a separate folder called MEDIA, that is every iWeb site, when published to .mac or a folder, which contains movies in .mp4 format or .mov format, all these will appear right in your site's MEDIA FOLDER....
    this is important as a concept....
    also, if you're using an outside web host like me (so that all my movies will LOAD QUICKLY), don't forget when FTP'ing (file transfer protocol'ing) your iWeb changes to your web host from your original MAC HD folder....remember to also send to the FTP/outside web host your MEDIA folder inside your SITE
    (which i only realized a couple hours ago, and which totally was a revelation, so i'm passing it along to you guys)....
    if you'd like to know exactly what i do here in nyc, i video the poetry scene, now for 20 years, and create educational poetry DVDs.... and my website is today's equivalant of operating a virtual business.....
    ....oh-oh, since I video poetry in NYC and go direct into a standalone DVD recorder to make single tracks of each poem...and then through Popcorn's mp4 program, I can make a movie file
    then..through QuickTime Pro's streaming compression system, reduce that file size to under 5 MBs,
    well, after lots of headaches, i am able to have 200 streaming video clips on an iWeb site, which apple itself said was impossible, that iWeb was only geared for less ambitious projects
    okay, so that is cool..until yesterday, when i began the whole process again with completely new poetry video clips....
    first, the iWeb pages were designed correctly...that took time....then i published the new pages to .mac, and only some of the movies showed up on the published pages, some had a big bright Q (which means the browser identifies the movie and will within 20 seconds load that movie), but what wracked my brain all day and night yesterday, why were there areas where the browser only showed the faint Q/Question mark inside (meaning the browser cannot find the movie)
    so what the.....!
    also i'm going from an iWed Folder to an FTP so I can use an outside web host and bypass THE MUCH SLOWER .mac browser (too slow when using movie clips for visitor to your site having to wait valuable seconds for **** movie to appear...with outside web host process almost immediate)
    .....any similar experiences?

    I am having the same problem.
    Now I am using iWeb 2.03. So when I uploaded the site to my server I see the Media folder you were talking about, and the videos are there. But when I go to the website I still get the faint Q with the question mark.
    Here is my site. http://mnorland.dadeschools.net
    The videos are supposed to be in the Athletics page, then go to football highlights.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • .Mac publishing issues...

    Okay, so I loved making my site with iWeb, and assumed publishing to my .Mac account would be just as easy, but unfortunately was not.
    Yes, I'm using the latest (1.1.1) version...
    Here's my error message:
    "Publish Error
    An error occured while publishing file "/Web/Sites/iWeb/kleen_kompanion/Blog"."
    And nothing else...no clue why it's erroring out.
    This is ridiculous...any ideas?
    I've already tried deleting my preferences file, reinstalling
    the latest update, an still no luck.
    Thanks for the good IDEA, at least, Apple.

    Hmm. No, every other .Mac feature seems to be working properly and as expected - that's why this makes no sense to me.
    Yeah, that *****...good luck with yours too!
    I think I'm going to try reinstalling iWeb and see if that makes any difference.
    I might reset all my sync data as well..not sure what else to try.
    One more thing, however, is that I believe iWeb is trying to publish to my iDisk in the wrong folder to begin with. The help files tell me that if you only have one site, it will publish to: http://web.mac.com/ppmdrumma.
    Well, even though it's not actually publishing, I still have the "visit" button,
    which takes me to: http://web.mac.com/ppmdrumma/iWeb/Site.
    Makes no sense to me...I don't have multiple sites!!!
