Iweb & mobileme

Using iweb I have vids stored on mobileme that are viewed by my iweb pages. When mobileme ceases to exist these vids will not be seen via iweb. What are my alternatives please?

Put your vid files in a folder named "videos" located in the root directory/folder on your new server. Then the URL to those video files used in the HTML snippets would be:
http:/www./your_domain_name.com/videos/video_file_name.m4v.

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

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.
moopie wrote:
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.

Aperture iweb mobileme

Hi all,
Im trying to setup an nice looking photographers website using Aperture2, iweb hosted on mobileme...
I would like to keep it all looking simple with a black background.
I like what aperture creates and the way it sync's to mobileme, but im looking to have a homepage with links and other content.
I can create a black homepage, with a link to an aperture created gallery on mobileme, but my question is this.. how can you link back from mobileme to the homepage?
or is there a better way??

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:

IWeb & MobileMe Gallery ????

Can someone explain to me Apple's strategy or idea behind having the MobileMe "Gallery" functionality in Mobleme and iPhoto, Aperature etc and also having iWeb ? Especially considerng that they publish to different places.
Is there any way to get iWeb to publish to the MobileMe "gallery" instead of iDisk ?
I just don't understand where Apple is going with both "tools". Anyone got any ideas as to what all this means long term? What does Apple have to say about the two disparate environments ?
TIA,
Peter

Peter ~ I suppose the answer is that the MobileMe "Gallery" functionality in MobileMe, iPhoto, Aperture, etc. is necessary for those who want to simply publish photo galleries without learning a website creation tool such as iWeb. And +"also having iWeb"+ is necessary for those who want to publish web pages that aren't simply photo galleries.
PeterWor wrote:
Especially considerng that they publish to different places.
It's probably a wise move on Apple's part that they do publish to different places — not all the eggs are in one basket. Also, a photo gallery is just one type of web page and it's reasonable that iPhoto & Aperture can publish the photos in their photo libraries to a special type of web page called a MobileMe Gallery. Plus, the integration is tighter from those apps than it would be from iWeb's indirect access to photos via the Media Browser.
...But I admit that the variety of ways to publish and access MobileMe web pages and Galleries can be confusing at first.
PeterWor wrote:

No — The Galleries have a special location and structure on iDisk that iPhoto, iMovie and Aperture set up during publishing. iWeb doesn't set up that Gallery environment. iWeb does, however, allow you to embed an existing MobileMe Gallery in your iWeb site — see this video tutorial:
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/web/#mobilemegal
PeterWor wrote:

I doubt that you could find something written by Apple that would discuss them as "disparate environments". I suspect Apple considers that the different environments it offers are necessary to provide flexibility and choice — but admittedly the result of that can be confusion, especially when first starting to review the different approaches. Some, despite having successfully published their galleries here:
http://gallery.me.com/membername
...are unaware that they can then control some aspects of it from here:

Photo Albums not working with iPhone/iWeb/MobileMe combination

OK, I find this surprising given this is an all Apple deal here...
When I create Photo Albums and photo pages the pages don't display any of the images on my iPhone... Works OK on my Mac's Safari, works OK on Firefox... iPhone, nothing, it's like the Javascript they use to create the photo albums doesn't do it's thing on the iPhone version of Safari.
And apparently if I leave my iPhone on my desk while I type this message with the browser window open to the page with no images it spontaneously combusts... er... I mean it reboots the iPhone (not just a Safari crash).
Apple... How do I see my Mobile Me Web Site on my iPhone?
OS X 10.5.5, iPhone 2.1, iWeb 08 2.0.4, MobileMe 1.whatever.apple.is.using.to.host.the.thing
Best Regards, Bruce

The photo pages and MMe albums require java script support to view and iPhoto doesn't have that as yet as far as I know.

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.

IWeb -MobileMe widget flash alternative?

I use an iMac and use iWeb to create and manage my website - it is great. I use the MobileMe widget to have photos scrolling on my page automatically - very nice... unfortunately if a visitor views my website with an iPhone or an iPad ("the ultimate browsing machine") they cannot see this because their Apple device does not support Flash (yes I read: http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash). So where is the support for the heralded HTML5 in this MobileMe widget? What is the alternative to accomplish the rolling photos so that iPhone and iPad viewers can see the content? www.chriskopf.com. Thanks, Chris.

IWeb / MobileMe / Site Sync?

Hi, I was hoping that iWeb sites across computers synced with MobileMe would be kept up to date that way, ie. machine x has sites 1,2,3 then machine y would have those same sites available for editing in iWeb. Is there a way to do this? thx!!!

You can use iWebSites to merge the two domain files into one. Rename both sites to represent the site name inside and put into your your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Run iWebSites, select the two domain files and hit the merge button. A new domain file will be created containing both sites.
If you want to manage the site(s) from two computers this tutorial may be of some help: Old Toad's Tutorial #21 - Managing an iWeb site from multiple Macs with Dropbox..

Iweb mobileme hosting to icloud

I realize that mobileme is offering to continue hosting my iweb site until June 2012, but I'm concerned that if I sign into iCloud that I will lose my hosting. Has anyone found an issue with their iweb hosting after beginning to use iCloud?
Thanks!

Everybody says that I can still host on MobileMe until June 30, but when I try to upload anything I get a sign-in box for MobileMe. Then when I sign in, it tells me that I've already moved to iCloud (and I have), and then I'm back to square one. How do I UPLOAD to MobileMe until June 30th?

IWeb + MobileMe + Snow Leopard = any observations?

Hi,
Haven't picked up Snow Leopard yet but curious if anyone who uses iWeb 09 and MobileMe for hosting and has installed Snow Leopard if you've seen any improvements or issues. Thanks.

Iweb, mobileme, and godaddy HELP!

I purchased a domain from godaddy.com, designed the website on iweb '09, and have chosen to host the site through mobileme.
After an initial CNAME error on my part, I have been assured by godaddy reps that everything is correct on their end. I have set up the personal domain on my mobileme account, and have published the site from iweb '09 to mobileme. I have waited for the site to propogate onto godaddy servers, and the website is not pulling up. I get an error message that states that the website is temporarily unavailable. I tried republishing through iweb, and nothing seems to help.
My mobileme account is not set to private, and all of the mobileme information is showing correctly.
What do I do to fix this--fast?
Thanks!

Thanks for your help. I spent 4 hours yesterday at my local apple store to see if anyone had additional ideas, and finally a representative deleted the site from my iweb and had me create a new user on my mac. I set up the site through iweb under the new user, but we were still having issues, so we went into godaddy and changed the url forwarding and then masked the site. It was the only solution that worked, and I am thrilled that the site is up and working. I had followed all of the godaddy instructions on the site, and so did the apple reps, (we were troubleshooting mobileme, iweb and godaddy simultaneously) but nothing provided by the godaddy site or godaddy representatives worked. It was just a long process of trial by error that eventually brought us to a solution.
Thank you, everyone for your suggestions, and please know that I tried each one--multiple times. I truly appreciate the help.

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?
