IWeb, mobileme, problems

I tried to upload some photos to my iWeb site last night and a message comes up and says to sign in to Mobileme, however, when I try that another message says Mobileme has been disabled.  I have moved to iCloud, but I am not sure how to apply that to my iWeb account.
suggestions?

Now that MobileMe has shut down 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.

  • Google finding iWeb mobileme site

    I have an iWeb mobileme site and a separate domain name linked. Google can't find it.
    Does a site have to be hosted separately for this to happen?

    In terms of SEO, iWeb sites aren't that different from any other site. It's slightly more challenging to accomplish some things, but for the most part, you can nail all of the important on-page optimizations on iWeb that you could if you were to have an HTML/CSS website.
    But anyways, if your site isn't commercial and traffic isn't a big issue for you, then you don't really need to worry about SEO or hosting. If you want to be found to some degree, ie. typing your site URL into Google, then you just need to create and submit an XML Sitemap and you're good to go.

  • Domain IWEB Mobileme

    Hi, I have a question that is driving me crazy! I want to publish a page made with iWeb mobileme, I took an all-in hosting domain to redirect to mobileme and leave the url of the page I want. The page is www.dinoaldolor.com I have already added the mobile domain and post me what I published as www.dinoaldolor.com / NOALDOLOR and what I want is that I published as www.dinoaldolor.com. So I can not visit the website or do anything because the domain does not match the one I've purchased. X Please Help!
    Thanks

  • IWeb Update - Publishing to MobileMe Problem

    After running the 3.0.2 update I tested the app and all was well - or so I thought!
    I don't use MobileMe much and decided to test the claim that it "resolves some issues related to publishing sites to MobileMe". Well, of course, publishing to MobileMe wouldn't work.
    I resolved this by quitting, deleting the plist - Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist. - relaunching and resetting the preferences. I also logged out and back in to MobileMe for good measure.
    I never had any problem with uploading to MobileMe before this update. I wasn't even going to bother installing it because I never use the blog or podcast. I only installed it because I saw that another user had problems with iWeb not launching properly after running the update and thought I would see if I could replicate it.
    Maybe one day we will get an iWeb update that actually works as advertised and contains something useful?

    After I went through the steps mentioned above the published site had a few items missing in the header.
    I published to a local folder to test it and this was OK. Then I re uploaded to MobileMe and this version worked.
    I only use MobileMe for test sites so this glitch is not a disaster to me.
    It would be worth while creating a small test site to troubleshoot this issue rather than using your main site.
    I don't use the blog or podcast so I have no idea if there are any problems in that area.

  • Dashcode And iWeb(mobileme) upload problem

    Long story, short, I'm trying to make my Mobile Me Blog RSS feed into an iphone web app. In Dashcode I have the rss template set up and in the Application attributes URL Feed I have : http://web.me.com/username/MyAnnouncesments.rss.xml.
    I have already uploaded the site in iWeb.
    When I try uploading (deploying) the webapp in DashCode I get this error:
    The deploy domain “idisk.me.com” is different from “web.me.com” used by data source “feedDataSource”. This can cause the web application to not function properly.
    What is wrong? They are both mobile me hosted so I don't see the problem.
    How Do I fix this?

    For some reason, iWeb thinks I own the domain name www.katiehughes.com and tries to post the pages there.
    It doesn't actually try to "post the pages there." The only place it can post your pages is web.me.com/username, even when it says otherwise down at the bottom. So it really doesn't matter as far as what is happening to your site.
    But go to your MobileMe account settings/personal domain and delete anything which is in there. If nothing is there, you might put in a nonsense url and see if that will replace katiehughes, and then delete that later.

  • Mobileme problem med iweb

    Jeg har et site, der var tilknyttet mobileme og lavet i iweb, som jeg nu prøver at udgive via FTP (stadig via iweb), men selvom det ser ud til at virke, er det stadig Apples 'mobileme is closed'-besked, der kommer frem på hjemmesiden. Hvad skal jeg gøre?

    Google translation :
    "I have a site that was associated with mobileme and made in iweb as I am now trying to publish via FTP (still via iweb), but even if it seems to work, it's still Apple's' mobileme ice closed'-bitter"
    Go where you manage your domainname and delete the CNAME record or if you use URL forwarding, the setting that does so.
    In general, remove all links that point to MMe.
    In other words : remember what you did in the past to point to MobileMe. Now reverse that process.
    iWeb is not involved.

  • Aperture - iWeb - MobileMe...  WORKFLOWS WANTED!

    I come seeking advice, and hoping this online essay will spark some discussion on the much-needed integration of Apple-apps online photo sharing and display capabilities -- and I promise to keep the rants to a minimum...
    *What I'm trying to do:*
    Create a series of Aperture-published (or at least Aperture-based, since that's where my pictures reside) photo pages, pages on which visitors can...
    1) Quickly peruse the thumbs (with column&row arrangement, sizing, and framing options all determined by me), while also reading some descriptive text I've provided re the overall event being showcased;
    2) View individual shots at a modest but adjustable display size in Slideshow mode (with transition options I've set), and simultaneously see the associated Caption, Date and whatever other Aperture-stored metadata I've chosen to be displayed for that set of images; and then, if they so desire...
    3) Download selected images at their original, FULL-pixel dimensions (assuming I've set the page to allow that).
    4) PLUS, I want to have each of these individual pages indexed on an iWeb "Album Page", which allows for the contents of each individual photo page to be mouse-skimmed before actually clicking and going to that page.
    *An Impossible Dream?*
    Not really. Everything I've just described is relatively easy to do -- but only in bits and pieces, it appears -- using Aperture, Aperture-published MobileMe Albums (aka Galleries) and Aperture-published Web Pages, iWeb '09, iWeb's Media Browser, and a MobileMe account. So now I find myself playing Dr. Frankenstein (that's "Fronkensteen"), and trying to stitch together a new form of photographic life online.
    In other words, I'm just trying to create the kind of truly functional and flexible photo pages which SHOULD be a no-brainer by now, since all the features I'm imagining already exist! (Then again, I shouldn't ask for too much -- I mean it's not like Aperture, iWeb, and the MobileMe service are all from the same company, right?)
    *In OTHER other words...*
    I want to publish Gallery-esque pages from Aperture, but ones which automatically include and display whatever combination of Caption, Title, Date, or any other Metadata I select. And ones which can be INDIVIDUALLY indexed on an iWeb Album Page, as opposed to simply dragging in iWeb's MobileMe widget (which so far as I can tell just gives you a single link to ALL your Galleries in one quick but inelegant whack).
    OR...
    I want to publish Aperture Web Pages, but ones which aren't given a ludicrous "homepage.mac" URL (cripes, how old is THAT code?), and which can be easily seen by iWeb once published, so they can then be dragged into iWeb Album pages for convenient indexing and one-stop skimability by the user. (Also, pages for which Aperture has some sort of "Settings / Visit Page / Announce Site" pull-down button as it does for every MobileMe Gallery -- that's just being consistent.)
    OR...
    I want iWeb's Media Browser to let me select and drag into iWeb the contents of specific Aperture Projects and/or Albums, but with all Caption, Date, and other metadata for the selected images included, AND (if I so choose) at their FULL resolution -- rather than only at their currently-designated Preview size, which is now the case.
    *Whichever way you describe it...*
    I'm not really asking for anything all that new, just for some long-overdue integration between the already-existing photo-publishing abilities of Aperture, iWeb, and MobileMe. But before I start submitting more pages of "isn't this obvious?" input to their respective Feedback sites, I'd love to get anyone's thoughts, reactions, or best of all, suggestions as to how to at least partially achieve, the kind of Aperture-based photo publishing & sharing sites I'm still hoping to create.
    Many thanks (if only for reading this far!),

    Many thanks to both David and Bob for the above posts -- it's just nice to know I'm not alone in this frustration.
    Sometimes I desperately wish Apple would appoint a CAO (Cross-Application Ombudsman), a "Minister for Inter-Application Affairs", someone whose only job was to track the functions and features in different Apple apps, to correlate that understanding with relevant user input from a dedicated AppleWorkflows Feedback page, and whose mandate was to then:
    a) make sure that the interface of each app behaved in a consistent and predictable manner (so that, for example, Option-clicking a disclosure triangle in a Viewer window list of video filters in FinalCut had the same functionality as Option-clicking a disclosure triangle in a Finder window list of folders and sub-folders -- which it currently DOES NOT);
    and
    b) - most importantly - make sure the individual apps talked to each fluently and interacted in logical, productive ways (the subject of this thread being a prime example of where that's NOT happening).
    This person would have the authority to force the programmers working on different apps to actually talk to each other BEFORE new versions get released; to imagine intelligent, creative ways in which the different apps should interact-- and then require the programmers to implement those scenarios. Essentially, the CAO's only reason for coming to work each day would be to oversee the conception, development and implementation of cross-app workflows which benefit and free up (rather than block and frustrate) the multi-Apple-apps user.
    The key is that this person (or persons) would have to be given some real power -- not just to recommend, but in many cases to actually require. (For instance, this person would long ago have required the Aperture team to release a free update which no longer published anything to a "homepage.mac" URL. All together now: "Duh".)
    And, as mentioned above, they would have their own separate and well-publicized AppleWorkflows Feedback Page (plus a dedicated public discussion forum as well?), to which users would be actively encouraged to submit their ideas on Inter-App problems and possibilities.
    Call me crazy -- but that's my dream, and I ain't givin' it up.

  • Move iWeb MobileMe Blog to Wordpress

    I had to migrate my private Blog about my 2 years old little daughter from Apples mobileme servers to a wordpress account.
    I wanted to keep all the comments too (Marlas birth..). So i wrote a perl script to do the job. It is far from beeing perfect, but it works for me. So it may work for you too. You have to adjust some things, that‘s for sure.
    Features:
    -Keep Comments
    -Keep Images (hmm mostly)
    -Sets email-adresses for comments by Name
    -Sets Tags by text strings occured in title or body
    -Free, but my daughter will get every euro you donate! THX!
    Note: The script works only while the apple servers are up. After 30. June all your comments are gone!

    @MirkoW, would you like to wrap your pl script in an applescript app?
    i can help you with that, so people like moopie can just double click and run your app without launching terminal.app.
    sorry, i'm just can code some little perl. Applescript is completly new to me. I don't think it's worth the time since the mobileme servers are shut down in june.

    Cyclosaurus, what an excellent idea! MirkoW, I gave it a try and got it to generate a file, but wasn't successful yet. I originally published my blog to a folder on my computer. The way my blog is set up, I have three separate sections, each with its own archive and RSS feed. Don't ask me why - it was the only way I could think to separate several different years of posts on my blog.
    Hmm, we have to see if we can get the images right. The main problem is that iweb uses the same shapeimageXYZ.png shema for every post and wordpress need to have unique filenames. So my script is guessing the filenames wordpress makes out of them by importing. sorry my english is not as good it should for explaining in detail. Example
    iWeb hat 2 posts both with
    shapeimage_1.png
    So the first post get's the filename shapeimage_1.png but the second post get's the filename shapeimage_11.png.
    But what if you have later an image which has already the name shapeimage_11.png?
    You got the problem?
    For me it works with some tricks. so don't be afraid, i can look into it if you want.
    moopie wrote:
    Does the perl script need to be in the same folder as the posts I want to export?
    No, the script does not use any local file, it get's all information directly from the mobileme servers.
    Thanks for your patience - I do appreciate your help on this and I see the potential for your script. It's the closest thing to a solution I've seen so far. Worst case scenario, I'll get an engineer at work to help me figure out what to do!
    can you give me the link to your blog? so i can look into the html code. I think that would be the fastest way to help you.

  • Multipul iweb sites   problem with own domain name

    hello all
    i have currently 2 iweb sites (my own personal one with my own personal domain) and another site which has a podcast for my self and flat mates
    the problem comes in this.
    if i want to subscribe the podcast to itunes it trys to send it as www.garethmob.co.uk/flat6_band ect where the actuall band website does not sit on my own personal website
    is there any way i can fix this by having the origional web.me.com/garethmob ect for one of the websites and the garethmob.co.uk for the other?
    both are on my mobile me account
    thanks for any help in advance
    Gareth

    If you have more than on site on your iDisk and go to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites, you will see that you have two website folders but only one index.html file.
    If the domain name www.garethmob.co.uk (Site 1) is directed at that index.html file then that's the one that must exist in the Web/Sites folder.
    When you upload another site (Site 2), its index.html file overwrites the existing one and the URL is then directed to the wrong site.
    When you upload changes to the site with the MobileMe URL (Site 2), you must then upload a copy of the index.html file for the other site (Site 1) after doing this.
    You can do this by publishing your Site 1 to a local folder and then put the index.html file inside a folder and trash the rest.
    After you have uploaded changes to Site 2, go to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites and upload a copy of the index.html file for Site 1 by drag and drop.

  • IWeb Mobileme gallery cannot be found

    I use iphoto to publish my pictures to my MM gallery this all works a treat and i can view them without a problem. When i want to share these pictures i always used iWeb and then the Mobileme widget, but lately it cannot find any MM galleries the list is blank. There are over 40 in there and it used to work i think it has happened since i put snow leopard on any ideas ?

    Are the albums "hidden" or password-protected? If so, try temporarily undoing that and see if it makes the other 40 albums available.
    If not, try creating one new MobileMe album in iPhoto, publish it to MobileMe and see if it makes the other 40 albums available.
    ...The above ideas are from this old thread:

  • IMovie to iWeb viewing problems

    Thanks to earlier posts I have now been able to upload a movie onto my MobileMe website, I’ve done this by opening it in iMovie and going to Share, Media Brower, Mobile and Publish, then doing the approprite thing in the iWeb Inspector. I have not added a download option.
    I can now open this myself, although both it and music files initially take some time to download. However, my fan club have had mixed experiences.
    Most Mac users have no trouble, but one with an iMac (not sure which OS) gets sound but no vision.
    Some PC users are OK, especially if they have QuickTime, but others have merely reported that they cannot get the video to play. Some of these can play audio tracks.
    Two PC users have had serious problems. One said that his computer started to download; this was taking a long time and he had no way of stopping it. Also, the music tracks had no play bar.
    I have been told about Vimeo and I may try that if all else fails. And I appreciate that some PC users are dinsoaurs, as one reply put it!
    Any help and advice would be appreciated.

  • IWeb/MobileMe not accepting comments

    Over the past week or so, I have had two people tell me that they can not leave comments on my blog. I have tried myself (from MacBook Pro, iPhone 4 and Dell/Windows) and can not get a comment to post. I get the pop-up comment window, enter my comment, enter my name and then enter the security "phrase" that is provided. Then, when I hit "Add Comment" it just sits there. It does not reqister at all. And this is all on a very simple MobileMe hosted site. No outside domain. No outside tools. Just iWeb and MobileMe.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Does anyone know if MobileMe is experiencing issues that are causing this? It sounds like I am not the only one.

    I manage my wife's site which includes blogs on mobileme with comments. Readers leave comments, but other readers (or the same readers at other times) report they, too, cannot leave comments. My wife often cannot post a comment (the misdisplayed comment screen hangs just as you described). I had the same experience on my computer today. In my wife's case, using Firefox instead of Safari allowed her to comment. In my case, restarting my computer cleared up the problem. But the inability to enter comments happens to too many would-be commenters on different computer using different browsers at different times to ignore. I promised my wife I would investigate. I echo your question: Does anyone know a solution or have a handle on why users have this problem?

  • IWeb, MobileMe, google webmaster difficulties.

    I've been working on a website that is designed to represent a small business I am starting.
    I purchased a domain name and I use my MobileMe account to host it, I subscribed to MobileMe solely for this reason.
    I have made a small site, 12 pages or so, in iWeb and uploaded it to my personal domain name.
    I then subscribed to google webmasters product and subsequently it seems like I have a penalty on my domain which means that google don't index it and it is excluded from searches.
    I have been told that this is something to do with the way iWeb creates sites.
    My sites homepage appears like this www.mydomiain.com/Site/Home.html
    I would like it to simply start at www.mydomain.com
    Firstly, how do I do that?
    Secondly, how should I go about making my site google friendly? I use iWeb SEO app but until I can figure out how to reverse the violation penalty that iWeb has caused iWeb SEO software is not particularly useful.
    I would like to delete all unnecessary iDisk folders, all I want to use it for is hosting my domain name. Which ones can I delete?
    Many thanks.

    MobileMe cannot host your domain name, only your website. There is no reason to delete folders from your iDisk as it won't host your domain name.
    Apple is not a domain name registrar and you can only host your website with them, not your domain name.
    You purchase your domain name from a domain name registrar and they are your domain name hosts - all you do with MobileMe is link your domain name to your iWeb created site hosted on MobileMe.
    You must then proceed to link your domain name to your website, so you must enter your domain name into the personal domain name settings of your MobileMe account and then you must go to your domain name registrar and log in here and set up CNAME forwarding to link your domain name to web.me.com.
    You are still always publishing your site to MobileMe and never directly to your domain name, but you are simply linking the two together.
    As for the site name in your url, this is normal site structure for iWeb and if you are using CNAME forwarding and publishing to MobileMe there is not really a lot that you can do about this.
    As for iWebSEO, this works well and I use this for my own website, but for it to work, you do need to use it post publishing, so you would need to publish your site to a local folder and open the html files using iWebSEO and then adding what you want to and you can then use iWebSEO to upload your site or you can simply drag and drop the files to your iDisk.
    There should be no problem and your site should still be found.

  • Personal Domain Names in iWeb/MobileMe?

    Why is it that MobileMe will now not accept UK domain names? I have a .co.uk domain name and can no longer use it with the new MMe.
    When I first started to use iWeb and .Mac I purchased a UK domain name and had it entered in the personal domain name section and .Mac accepted it with no problem at all and I had my site redirected using the CNAME option for a long time.
    Now .Mac has become MobileMe, it will no longer accept UK domain names, only domains ending in .com, .net, .org etc. Due to this, I can no longer use the personal domain name option of my MMe account and I did not want to re-direct to my domain using web forwarding so have had to publish my site to a folder and ftp up to my host server space. Now I don't mind doing this, as it does not take that long and the whole site loads more quickly anyway, but I would just like to know why MMe does not now accept UK domain names now when .Mac always used to?
    This is irritating because it means that I am not able to use my MMe account to the full and as I live and work in the UK it did seem more appropriate to purchase a UK domain name rather than a .com or a .net.
    Perhaps Apple should look at this again, as not accepting UK domain names excludes a lot of British users!!

    What the heck is wrong with some people on this site! The guy was simply asking for advice!
    I got a similar snotty reply from someone in a post I made in which I was simply asking for advice from other users.
    I thought this was a SUPPORT Forum? Sheesh!
    Anyway, I am glad that Ethmoid posted about MobileMe and the problem with it and .co.uk domains. I was thinking of signing up to MobileMe and using iWeb for my blog and having it redirected to a .ie domain. But if this problem keeps up then it looks like I won't.
    Happy happy forum!
