IWeb hanging at logging into MobileMe (Personal Domain Problem)

I've searched and searched for an answer to my problem all over the internet and these forums and keep coming up blank.
Apologies if the answer is somewhere and I've missed it.
It could be a wider problem with my MobileMe, but iWeb is where it first occurred.
I recently had my personal website forwarding to my MobileMe site, and was using the MobileMe webspace to host my site. I had set my personal domain (in MobileMe) to the personal website. Why I did this I'm not sure, as I wasn't actually using the external webspace, merely forwarding it to my MobileMe site.
However I then decided I wanted to create a new site and this is where the problems began to occur. When I tried to publish the new site, it seemingly tried to publish to personaldomain/new_website name/ which obviously didn't exist as there was no external webspace there.
I then decided to reset everything, get rid of the personal domain setting within MobileMe and just merely forward my external web addresses to my Me sites. Upon deleting my Personal Domain from the mobileme settings page and logging into iWeb, the website name next to my username was still my external website address, and iWeb seemed to think it was all still published (which it was, as when I went to my web.me.com/etc, my website was there) However I wanted to start from scratch and republish everything, so I deleted all the web/sites section from my idisk, and hoped I could republish everything (this could have been a mistake!)
Now when I try to publish, iWeb just hangs at logging into MobileMe and won't publish anything. iPhoto also won't upload new photo albums and neither will aperture. They just hang at syncing galleries.
I'm completely at a loss as to how to proceed. I've deleted preferences from iweb and also logged out of mobileme, put a fake name in and logged back in again (to clear the cache I think) and still iweb hangs. I've even tried creating a new user account and logging in there and still it hangs.
Apologies for the essay of a post, if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Just some suggestions as to where to go would be helpful. I'm wondering if it's something to do with Keychains? I had a brief look in there but it all went over my head. This is the first problem I've ever had with my new mac, and being from a PC background, don't really know where to look to fix things.
Thanks in advance to people who even get through reading the entire post!

If stephen's suggestion doesn't help you might consider the following:

After waiting a day for the rolling restore to happen, I called AppleCare because Apple had sent an email saying my service was back, and it wasn't. I still could send and not receive using Mail.
Here is what fixed it. Go to MobileMe (terrible name) in System Preferences, log out. Then enter a garbage name and password and try to log in. This apparently clears the MobileMe preferences. Then enter your real UserName and PassWord. For me this was lights on.
I am left wondering how long ago I could have had email had I known this preference reset scheme.
Although for a different MMe issue it will clear out the MMe login info so you can enter everything anew and give it a fresh start.

IWeb says I'm not logged into MobileMe when I am...?

I'm trying to publish my site from iWeb but the Site Publishing Setting's page keeps saying I'm not logged into Mobileme - and I am. I've restarted, checked for updates, downloaded the updated iWeb. Thanks for any insight!

Try this:
go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
login with a bogus username and password like "test" and "test". This clears the caches.
login with your correct username and password, launch iWeb and try again.

If you're referring to last year's transition from .Mac to MobileMe, your iWeb websites are still available at the same URLs and have also been given a new URL at (www.me.com). For example, (web.mac.com/emily_parker/) will work as will (web.me.com/emily_parker)

I don't think there's anything special you need to do, but anyway, this Apple doc may be of interest:

What's the exact text of the error msg? This Apple doc may help:

Also, MobileMe live chat support is now 24/7 — see this announcement.
By the way, your Public Profile indicates you're running Mac OS X (10.5.4) — if that's true, you should upgrade to 10.5.8 via  menu > Software Update...

Can't copy purchased music from iTunes to iPod(logged into a Windows domain

I'm running iTunes on Windows XP. I've been using it to manage my music including purchasing music for iTunes.The laptop I'm using I also use it for work and log into a work Domain. I recently purchased an iPod (video) and attempted to transfer music via iTunes. When I manually try to transfer purchased songs only iTunes closes. I can transfer songs that have been imported into the library via CD. I receive a message "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
inconvenience." My user login has administrator rights to the PC (where iTunes is installed). All my music files are kept on an external hard drive. I've called Apple support and reinstalled the software several times with the same results. I did create a new user that logs in to
the PC (not the work Domain), that can somehow transfer the music to the iPod. But I can not see any folders, playlists, or purchased music that was established when logged on the work Domain. That solution isn't sufficient because I can't normally create different users
and run iTunes (and other products) this way.
Anyone encounter this problem? Any suggestions?

This sounds like an interesting snag - clearly if you can get copied CD tracks onto the iPod there isn't an issue PC to iPod.
I wonder if the inability to copy downloaded music is related to the very clever stuff Apple do to prevent you writing more than seven copies of those tracks? Just a thought - I have no idea how it all works, but it occurs to me it could get embroiled in network stuff?? If you are friendly with your administrator ask them if you can have a go at connecting your iPod to a computer with admin rights, and see if you get a more helpful error message.

Can I see how many people have visisted my MobileMe Personal Domain

Iweb-personal domain problem

Im having issues with registering my iweb site under my own domain name(yes, I own it)
When I go to <file> and then to <setting up personal domain> it then takes me to< .mac login> which then takes me to my <.mac account settings> where there is nothing indicating anything about domain registration. Any thoughts? Thanks...

There should be a button over at the right, 4th one down, called Personal Domain.
Are you using iWeb 08?
You can't "register" your domain with Apple, it has to be actually held somewhere else, where you are able to modify the www CNAME entry.

Just Got iWeb '08, Need Help Setting Up Personal Domain

Hi,
Can someone please explain how I set up a personal domain account. Do I have to purchase the www.myaccount.com through a different website? If so, what do you suggest for a low price and easy compatibility with iWeb.

Logging into MobileMe using my icloud account

I bought a used macpro 2008 and need to access my ical. It only has mobileme and says that my username/password is wrong. How do I log into my icloud from here or is it possible?

MobileMe feature is No more available and supported by Apple and to use your iCloud Account and sync your Calendar on Mac you need to have Mac Os x Lion (10.7.5 or Later).
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
But you can try to login to http://www.icloud.com/ using Safari Browser and try to access your Calendar from there.

Why does logging into MobileMe fail from imac

For some reason, the mail application on my iMac fails to log into my MobileMe/iCloud email account. It only affects one of my account, the other two work flawlessly. I am able to access this same email account from Safari and my smartphone. What gives?!?! I deleted the mail account and re-added it, I checked the various email/firewall settings... this is really ******* me off! Will someone please provide some help and/or incite? Thank you advance.

I think I may have found the issue: I am running 10.6, so MobileMe is still the 'program' that it tries to access and, apparently, the default settings are no longer valid. After deleting the the account, I attempted to add the account again, which of course failed. I hit 'continue' at the bottom of the page after the fail and went to the next page which had a drop down menu with the following choices: MobileMe, POP, IMAP, etc. Changing from the default MobileMe to IMAP did the trick.

Personal Domain problem.

I am unable to reverse (cancel, annul, stop, call off, scratch, scrub) the link that has somehow or other been created between Mobile Me and a domain, hosted by GoDaddy, that I own but never use.
So, when I update my iWeb pages and 'publish changes' and then visit my site I find myself on the GoDaddy site.
I admit that I recently discovered that it was possible to have a Mobile Me site forwarded and I even looked at the page in GoGdaddy where it was possible to change the CNAME. however, I did not complete the process.
I have spoken to customer support at GoDaddy, who have been very accommodating, and they assure me that they have cleared any links, but the problem persists.
What next?
Any clues, anyone?
Cordially,
David Amies

Of course there is!
Log into your MobileMe account under System Preferences and then go to the Personal preferences section. Under there you will find on the left hand side, Personal Domain Settings. Click on this and where your personal domain name is entered, there will also be a delete button on the right hand side. Click on delete and your domain is removed.

New personal domain problem

So it seems that my personal domain isn't working as hoped.
My CNAME alias was configured but it's acting funky.
This points to the current changes I'm making in iWeb.

This points to the old page that was created in iWeb 1.0

Not sure how to correct this issue.... any information would be much appreciated.

Remove Personal Domain Problem

Hi. I had a personal domain setup and it was working fine. I recently removed the domain from my .Mac account. iWeb still thinks it is publishing to the domain, and shows the little green indicator light at the bottom with my domain. After it publishes, the Visit Site button tries to load up with my domain and not with the .mac address.
How can I get it to revert to the .mac address mode?

I'm pretty good on computers but my dad asked him to help him with a Mac problem so here I am...
Our good friend has built our website from his computer at his house, me and my dad need to be able to edit the website using iWeb (the same program our friend uses) so we can make appropriate changes...
We can log into the .Mac the same one that our friend uses but we can't figure out how to actually "load" the work our friend has already done so we can add to it and edit it...
Any advice is appreciated

Personalized Domain Problems

I currently have two .mac websites, and wanted to create a personalized domain name for only one of them. I followed the steps, purchased my domain name, changed the cname and then clicked publish all to .mac, only when I did this instead of seeing the site I had the domain name planned for at that domain, I saw my other site. Is there any way I can switch this around and have my other site associated with the domain name with out deleting either of my sites?

The easiest way to do this is to set up a separate user account on your Mac, and use that account for one of your sites. The iWeb program will see only the one .Mac account you have set in the preferences.
This is a problem with several Mac products - they go so much for simplicity that they lock you into their 1 and only paradigm, cutting out flexibility. I wish I could select individual domain files for iWeb, and easily switch between several different iPhoto files. But you cannot do either. It can get frustrating at times!!!

Move your name to someplace like Godaddy which provides the features you need, or try Chapter 3 of this:
