IWeb Password Question

When using iWeb i want to place a password on one select page. However, when i do this it places a password on the entire website. Is there a way about going to have a password for only one page and not my entire .mac website through iWeb?
Thank you,
Tom

You are right. The password protection feature works on a sitewide basis...not page by page. So the workaround then is to create another site in iWeb and put the protected page in that site. Then you can password protect the site. You can then refer people to this password protected site by creating a link in the unprotected site.
Or you can just leave the password protected site by itself and access it like you would any other site by specifying the entire path to the site itself (instead of using your short iWeb URL)...
http://web.mac.com/yourname/iWeb/passwordprotectedsitename
This is the same link that you would use if you wanted to create the hyperlink in your non-protected site.
If you want to go really fancy, you could make a link to your protected site appear just like any other link in your navigation menu on the top of all your pages. This would require some post-publishing editing of the HTML code, and it may be more trouble than it is worth to you. But here is a tutorial page from varkgirl that goes through the process...

So you want to change your primary mail but can't get past the password question?

Claudius,either you didn't read my post, or you jumped to conclusions. I had a skype account that was created using a microsoft account (NOT THE ACCOUNT I AM USING NOW). PURE MICROSOFT ACCOUNT NO OTHER ACCOUNT LINKING.I had to change the primary mail of that account.I was told "no can do" by skype support.I found that if I went to account settings and clicked on the link on the line below the one that said "MICROSOFT etc" (labeled something along the lines of "TV or Device") I got the opportunity to set the password of the "live:username" account (WHICH YOU COINCIDENTALLY HAVE TO DO IF YOU WANT TO USE SMART TVs ETC).Once that was done, I COULD SUCCESSFULLY DO WHAT SKYPE SUPPORT SAID WAS IMPOSSIBLE- I could change the primary mail address. once that was done, and NOT BEFORE, I linked the account to a facebook account as well, just to be sure I have more than one way to access the skype account. What caused you to get the impression that I was writing something else? furthermore this sentence - "The solution you described in your initial message isn't actually once since all the time you were operating on different account that weren't actually linked" does not make sense, I think you mis-edited it.and I need to point out that you are incorrect. I WAS NOT OPERATING ON DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS I WAS OPERATING ON ONE SKYPE ACCOUNT, THAT WAS CREATED USING A MICROSOFT ACCOUNT just like you say you recommend. I still don't know how you can misread my initial entry like that. If you have a better solution to my initial problem - changing the primary mail of a skype account created throuth either a microsoft account or a facebook account, Please write a sticky to explain how to do it, and please inform skype support that Yes it can be done, and this is the way it is done. So far my "lucky shot" seems to be the only way to do it.

Hi!I ran into the same problem as a lot of other people seem to have done. I am changing ISP and because of that I have to change my mail address from my 10 year old [e-mail removed for privacy and security] to something else, this time I choose to use an outlook.com address in the hope that I will be able to keep that a bit longer. last week I realized that my skype account had my old expiring address as the primary mail, and that the primary mail was the only mail that skype will use for communication with me - I already had 2 other mail addresses in my skype profile (outlook.com and gmail). The skype account was created last summer using my microsoft account, and the microsoft account is the only means I have for accessing the skype account. So I logged on and opended the profile page, went on to edit the info and marked my outlook mail as the primary, clicked save and got the password question. I entered the password I use for logging on (ie the microsoft account password), but was told that the password was wrong. I tried everything and some more things, I spent 40-50 minutes on a text chat with skype support, only to be told that it can't be done and that the skype account was hard tied to the mail address I had used when creating the account, which I found very strange as I had used my microsoft account. yes, when I created the skype account, the only mail I had connected to the microsoft account was my "[e-mail removed for privacy and security]" mail, but I have since then, without any problems, been able to create an outlook.com address, and have that added, added a gmail account, set the outlook.com as the primary for the microsoft account and remove the "[e-mail removed for privacy and security]" address from the microsoft account. no problem.The problem is actually worse as the mail account will be free for use after april 1, which means that a person claiming that mail address will risk getting extremely confusing mails regarding a skype account they don't have, they will have difficulties creating a skype account of their own, AND they can take over my skype account (as they are the owners of the mail address) and I won't be able to stop them. How is that for security Fortunately I spent 2 more hours and stumbled on the solution This is where a normal scam artist would ask you to click on a link to a web apge that would releive you of all your money, but I won't do that. so, what is going on when you want to change the primary email, why isn't your password accepted??? It turns out that when you create a skype account using your microsoft account (and I guess your facebook account), skype will actually create a "proper" skype user account as well, but they hide it from you, and you won't get a password set for it. It is the password for this "hidden" account you have to enter when you want to change the primary password It turns out that I was also unable to connect my facebook account to my skype account for the very same reason, but here it was more obvious, as I had to enter my skype username and passwor when connecting the accounts, and the microsoft account wasn't accepted there . so what do you need to do? well - those of you who have a smart tv (or some other device) that can't log on to skype using a microsoft account, have already done the work (provided you use that tv/device with skype) you log on to skype and open the account settings page, on the line below "microsoft account [email protected] unlink change microsoft password" you'll see a line saying "TV or Device" or something similar (I have no idea what the english text is) here you have a link you can click on where you will be prompted to enter the password for your "live:username" account. once you have done that you get instructions saying that for smart TVs etc, you enter "live:username" as the skye user and the newly created password as your password.The good news is that you now have 1) the identity of your skype user ("live:" and your name where the user name is the combined string "live:username" which in my case was "live:myname"); and 2) a password that is valid for your skype account. what I did next was open up the profile page, edit the profile, mark the outlook.com mail address asthe primary, click save and when prompted for the password, I entered the password I set in the previous step, and that's it, I now had a new primary mail (I got the confirmation mai sent to the new mail address right after I updated the info in skype). I also successfully removed my soon defunct mail address from the mail address list in my skype account, and I then connected my facebook account to my skype account (using live:myname ase the username and my shiny new password). So at the moment I have three different methods available to me when logging in to skype:- my microsoft account- my skype user (live:myname)- my facebook account.the ONLY thing to be aware of is that the name of the microsoft account, as presented on the account settings page in skype, still is my old [e-mail removed for privacy and security] mail address NOTE that this is a presentation issue only, someone thought that it was a good idea to save the original name of the microsoft account in the skype database and use that for presentation. It is NOT used when logging on, when you log on it will use the UID of you rmicrosoft account. if it disturbs you, you can always disconnect you rmicrosoft account from your skype account and reconnect it, and you should see the current mail address associated with the microsoft account. (this is safe to do because you have at least one other method to log on ) I hope that skype will amend their FAQ with this info. I did enter into a second chat with skype support, explaining what I díd to resolve the problem they failed to solve. so there it at least 2 people at skype support who know how to resolve the problem. -cheers,Anders

Reset Iweb password

How do I rest my Iweb password or retrieve the password. It won't let me publish my site and won't accept my password.

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.

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.

I lost my iWeb password and don't know how to retrieve it.

How can I retrieve my iWeb password?

Hey Eth. The password I'm referring to is on the Site Publishing Settings page, in the FTP Server Settings section.The password is there now, but in 'dots.' I just don't know what it is. I would like to retrieve it in case I ever loose it.

Forgot 2nd email used for forgotten password questions

I set up a iCloud for 5 year old daughter, I think someone logged in and changed the emergency email We know the password. But its requesting the forgotten password questions. Don't remember 2 of them . I normally can figure these out, but for the life of me I can not find the email to send reset questions to

is there a link to change the email where I send the forgotten questions too?

Is the password question in app store occur each time i want to buy or i can change that in the settings to enter it just once?

If by anychance i signed in app store to buy a game using my friend"s ipad , and i forgot to sign out , does it mean that he can continue buying apps without facing the password question ? Or he must enter password for each purchase? Is it possible to save password from the first time signed in ?
Is changing the password of my app store account sufficient enough to protect my privacy ?
Thanks

You would have to move to the U.S. and find a place to live. Then you would have to get a credit card billed to that U.S address. Then, as long as you were inside the borders of the U.S., you could buy from the U.S store.

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.

WHAT UP? iWeb password required on every page??

I've been building a password protected iweb site for 2 months. I've been able to publish then check my pages by only entering my password for the welcome page. As of tonight I'm being asked to enter my name and password for every page I open (using Safari). This is nuts!! I have no media that's on the pages. How do I keep my site password protected and get rid of this stupid page by page prompt?? I don't want to save my password during construction because I want to see what users will get bombarded with. HELP!!!

I'm having the same problem: starting this morning my .mac iWeb site repeatedly asks for a password for the pages I try to access. Many times it will not accept the password even though it is correct. This is the first time I've had this problem, even though I've been building a password-protected site for several months now. Also, another symptom of something wrong with .mac (or the new update for Safari, perhaps?) is the pages on my site are frequently loaded incorrectly, with elements missing (replaced by question marks). In the Activity Window it gives "Can't find host" as the reason. The problem seems to be with Apple's servers, since I'm having the same problem with all my computers.

Game Center nickname password question:

My daughters each have their own nicknames for Game Center on their iPod Touches. Each nickname has its own password. My youngest can't remember her password.
Since I updated her iOS, I have to log her back into her Game Center account. Is there a way to retrieve her nickname password without resetting my Apple ID password? Since they are minors and don't have email addresses, they are all on my Apple ID. Resetting my Apple ID doesn't seem to work, and it's the only thing Apple seems to want to do. I can't find a way to contact Game Center directly.
Any other ideas?

Network home folders: iCloud password question re-appears at every logon

Hello,
Is there any way to enable iMessage and Facetime together with Network home folders. Im using Mavericks server (Directory services enabled) and two Mavericks clients. Every time a user that was using machine A logs on to machine B the iClouds password prompt re-appears and subsequently security questions are sent to iOS devices that a new device was added.
Is there a way to circumvent this? I think I tried once in combination with mobile home folders. However, even if I excluded iMessage/Facetime system files from syncing, questions still re-appeared.
The more iCloud services are tied into the system, the more you would like to use them; even if you are using network home folders.
Regards,
Thomas

MDM API Password questions...

Hi Guru's
I have some questions for which i am struggling to get the answeres on how MDM handles passwords using MDM's API's
1. Is there a COM API for management of MDM users? COM documentation that we have does not mention anything.
2. To avoid using any server side code, is it possible to remotely call the IF_MDM_ADMIN bapi through the RFC interface?
Regards
Vikrant M Kelkar..

Hi! What about using ABAP method "create_user":
CALL METHOD lr_api->mo_admin->create_user
EXPORTING
is_user_information = ls_user
IMPORTING
ev_new_user_id = lv_new_user.
ls_user holds user name and passw.
Refer to ABAP MDM API

ICloud password questions

My Mac asks iCloud password since some days every time I open Mac Mail. How can I stop it?
Yesterday the Internet connection (Safari) got stucked, I had to close the MacBook by using the start button.
When I opened iCloud settings without internet connection, the question popped on the screen again.
I took away the Find my Mac setting from the list, and thereafter the internet worked normally.
However, this morning, the Mail asked again iCloud password. I allways ignore it.
I noticed inDaily Mail Online, that there were cases in Australia, where peolple got thei Mac stucked and had to pay ransom.
It was supposed that this was connected to Find My Mac settings in iCloud.

You're looking at three different and unrelated problems:
Mail asking for iCloud password
Safari crashing/not responding
Ransom requests
1. This has been a problem discussed here months ago. Several solutions were offered. The one I used was to delete my Apple account info in Mail and set it up manually. That simply forced Mail to re-write the old, corrupted plist with the correct info.
2. Use the "Force Quit..." item under the 'Apple' menu to see if an app is "Not Responding" or simply busy. If "Not Responding", select (highlight) it and use the "Force Quit" button. Avoid the Power button shut down method as you may end up corrupting other things that may be accessing the hard drives.
3. There is already a huge thread on this topic (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6270410?start=375&tstart=0). So far, there is no reliable evidence that it is related to 'Find My Mac' at all. The ransom requests are all related to mobile devices (iPhones, iPads, etc.).
HTH!

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 issue - question marks ??

Hello
I'm a new user to iweb and this is my first post.
Basically I have been getting used to the iweb app for a few days now and have started putting a basic website tigether as a kind of online cv for the work I do.
I currently have a small amount of web space (55meg) with my broadband account and have been using this to publish and test my web site.
I have been using Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer 5.2 on my G5 to view the web site.
Generally everything looks fine, but the odd question mark symbol keeps popping up. Ironically the site seems to look best in IE, but question mark symbols show up in all three browsers.
I wondered if anyone may be able to help with this ?
Many thanks in advance

Hi rdfmusic and welcome to the iWeb forum!
Your problem is a common one when publishing to a non .Mac server but is easily fixed. Tom Gewecke has created a page that addresses this with the solution:
