Iweb password protect question

I was wondering if it was possible to add a password to my photo gallery to prevent random vistors from downloading or uploading pictures to my web gallery.

When you go to publish an iPhoto album to a Web Gallery, use the Advanced button at the bottom of the selection screen. Here it will allow you to add specific users and a password for each gallery.

Safari won't open iWeb Password protected site

Safari just stalls out when I go to a password protected page I created in iWeb and posted on .Mac. I used FireFox and these pages open fine.
Message was edited by: nus2

Yes it does. If this were only a one time deal it might be okay but I just tried to get onto my password site again this evening, after resetting Safari this morning, and once again it won't access. Gotta figure some other way to fix this, obviously resetting safari several times a day is unacceptable.

IWeb - Password Protect

Hi,
I want to create a website to share my personal photos with my family.
Is there a way with iweb to password protect the site?
Thanks

It is now known that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features Lost Once MobileMe is Discontinued or if Publishing to an FTP Server:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.

However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

Iweb password protected site has errors

I password protected my site on iweb in the site inspector awhile ago (and published this change).
I go to Safari, and go to my site.
It asks for the password which I put in correctly. I don't check off "remember in my keychain."
It then displays another pop-up that says:
To view this page, you need to log in to area “idisk.mac.com” on web.mac.com:80.
I then enter in my username/password again, and it keeps popping this window open.
I usually end up quitting Safari to get rid of this error.
I tried these steps with just clicking Cancel instead of adding username/password on the idisk pop-up, and it still keeps popping the login window.
So, I tried to login my website on Firefox, and there was no problem whatsoever. I put the username/password in, and it went to the site.
What could be causing the error in Safari?

Have you tried deleting the iWeb preference file, com.apple. iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and then try again.
Additionally, the following was posted on the MacInTouch site yesterday. Although for a different problem the fact that it clears the MobileMe preferences it may help in your case.

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."
As they say, any port in a storm.

Logout of iWeb password protected site?

I have made a site and set it to be password protected.
As it stands now once you log in, the authentication is saved and you don't have to enter it again.
Is there a way to either log out via a button or link? Or even to be able to ask for a log in every time the page is visited?
Any help is much appreciated!

What is happening is a cookie is being added to the visitors browser that allows return visits without having to log in again. There may be a way to delete the cookie with javascript added to the site (I'm guessing here) and if anyone would know how it would by Cyclosaurus. Find a post by him and ask.

Password Protect question...

Hi, all.
Can I password protect a Playlist, even when played on my very own computer??
I just want to make one specific playlist accessible only with a password, so that only I can listen to it. (No, I'm not talking about "Shared Music")
Thanks, guys!

Sorry but no.
And it wouldn't go any good anyway, since anyone could just play those "forbidden" tracks from the main library.

Using mobileme password protected galleries on iWeb

I have a bunch of galleries on my mobileme gallery; most of them are visible only by specific users. I would like to use them on a iWeb (password protected) web site but the option Insert-> MobileMe Gallery is only available for public galleries not for password protected ones. Is there any workaround for this?

You could try embedding a Gallery in your iWeb page — see this old thread:
...or you could hyperlink from an iWeb page to a Gallery.

Password Protecting a Blog

Hi there,
I am trying to create a blog on my new website but I want to password protect it. I read that you can only password protect the entire site, not single pages. I just figured it being a blog there could be some way you could keep some people from not reading it (thus the the password protection question).
Thanks for your help!

The only way to do this via iWeb is to split off your blog into a separate site of its own. Then you could password protect that site. The rest of your site stays put right where it is. You could probably just hit new site and then drag the blog down to it in the Site Organizer.
Keep in mind that if you do this, there will be no automatic links to your blog "site". You will have to make these links yourself. But there is a way of making a link in the navigation menu to a separate password protected site. Varkgirl has detailed her method here...

Think about this carefully...I wonder if it is worth the trouble for you...

IWeb passwords for Safari...

I have two iWeb password protected websites for my Daughters, however when I try to log into them from my iPad, Safari does not remember the username or passwords for either of the sites.
When I log into these sites from my iMac, I have no such problems with Safari.
Anyone have any ideas how to resolve this ?.

Easy fix, I think. Go to Settings, Safari, AutoFill, Turn on "Names and Passwords."
Now, not all websites allow the password to be remembered, especially banking sites. But this should work for you.

Password protect iWeb page

Is there a way to require a password when visiting a page made with iWeb like there was with Homepage?

That's correct. Also, to clarify, you cannot password protect a page, you have to password protect the entire site. (There are ways around this)
But password protecting will not prevent those who visit from downloading your images. If that is your concern, try searching these discussions, or post a new question. What I remember of previous discussions about protecting images is that a)there are some ways to discourage this but b) there is not way to make it completely impossible to download images.

Is there a way to password protect a photo page in iWeb?

My website is open to whoever wants to look at it but I do photography work for clients and would like to password protect their photos. Is there anyway I can password protect just my photo gallery page in iWeb? Thanks!

If you publish to a server other than MobileMe you can password protect any directory - either by using Webshell or via the .htaccess. If you use the latter method, the data can be compiled using a generator....
http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/password/
MobileMe users need to create a new site for the protected content. This site can appear to be part of the main one if it is included in a text based navigation as an external hyperlink or by using a snippet code with the default navigation. This was answered by Cyclosaurus in this topic....

Can a file be password protected using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard? No one seems to have answered this question in the trending questions.

I just purchased Adobe Acrobat because it was recommended to password protect files.
However, when I checked out the Tools > Protection > Encrypt> "Encrypt with Password" is greyed out.
Can a file be password protected using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard?
The OS version is Windows 7.
No one seems to have answered the question in the Trending Questions.
Thanks.

Yes, it can. Use File > Properties, and click the Security tab. Click Change, and set what you need. When the file is saved, the security is set.
BE SURE TO KEEP THE ORIGINAL FILE TOO.

Can i password protect pages in iweb?

id like to be able to do it with a username and password that i can issue to select people..

Not in iWeb. You have to do it at the server side.
Depending on where you host, you can password protect a site (a folder or directory) or a page.
See your control panel where you host your site.
Or you can do it yourself with a .htaccess file :
http://www.google.com/search?q=password+protect+website+htaccess
Here's a basic login :
http://home.wyodor.net/protect
username/password are : root/root
Or if your server supports it, you can do it my way :

Cannot publish new password protected sites to MobileMe using iWeb

Recently been getting the familiar iWeb error messages when publishing from iWeb to mobile me:
"There was an error updating MobileMe"
"An error occurred while publishing file '/Web/Sites/Sites.rss"
"Publish error: An unknown error occurred"
Did all the troubleshooting stuff detailed here - problem persists.
Today, tho', I've just noticed that these errors *only occur when I'm trying to publish a new password-protected site or trying to apply password-protection to an existing unprotected site*.
It works just fine when publishing a site which is not password-protected. It is also possible to modify an existing password-protected site without any trouble.
There's nothing odd about the passwords - all legal characters etc.
It would be better for me and my users if I could have password protection on my sites. Without passwords, I'm left relying on 'security by obscurity' - not ideal.
What can I do?

You could split up your single Domain file into several Domain files each containing a group of sites. You'll have to duplicate (via Finder) the Domain file usually located here:
...and then double-click one of the copies to open it in iWeb. Then delete the site(s) you don't need from it. Repeat the process until you have a more manageable group of Domain files each containing several (or just one) site(s). Note that this process is not easily reversible, i.e. merging Domain files.

With "many, many sites", this splitting process is not without risk — so before doing anything, don't forget this:
