IWeb with multiple .Mac account

Hi,
I have 2 .Mac account (one for personal, and another one for business use). I have one MacBookPro
I want to use iWeb developing 2 sites for my 2 .Mac account.
What I usually do is to log in to my personal .Mac account, then make both sites (personal and business) the pages with iWeb.
But the problem is that both sites I did in iWeb will get published to my personal account. Then it is wasting space on my idisk.
Then I would have to publish everything to a folder and then copy only the pages of my business site into my business .Mac account.
I wish there is an easier way.
What would be the best way of doing this? (with no pain!)
Thank you & Best regards.

hi viravadee
you can publish to 2 .mac accounts very easily.
before you want to publish, close iweb,
go under system preferences,
then under .Mac settings change the username and the
password. re-open iWeb and publish
- BUT when, say you want to publish your
office-site, make sure it is the top-page (just drag
and drop the web-site to the top(in the sidebar
under iWeb) because this tells the index to get
linked to the first web-site. For your home adress,
you do it the opposite way, your personal page goes
first, and don't forget to change the username in
the system preferences again.
i guess that is the easiest way to publish to 2
accounts.
and it will allways publish everything, you will have
to delete the other site from the iDisk
Woah. I don't know if I would recommend this method. Why publish everything every time if you don't need to?
viravadee, try this:
1. Make two user accounts on your machine and set up each account for a different .mac account
2. Separate your domain file into two separate domain files, each with one site
Some directions are here:

3. Put one domain file in each user account on your machine

  • Multiple .Mac accounts

    HI, Does anyone know how to use iWeb from one computer with multiple .Mac accounts? I want to publish using two different account names, but I don't know if I am able.
    Thanks for any help

    Will is correct. The account published to is determined by the details provided in the .Mac item in System Preferences. You could always temporarily change the account details there, but you always run the risk of forgetting to switch back again. Will's suggestion of using a separate user whose .Mac preferences are set to the other account is definitely the way to go. With Fast User Switching it's an absolute snip to use.
    You'll need to maintain separate Domain files anyway if you want the sites to be independent. Using separate users does this for you automatically.

  • New Mac User: iTunes Auth with multiple user accounts

    With a Mac with multiple user accounts, does EACH user account need to have iTunes authorized, or is iTunes authorized for an entire mac machine?

    So then I assume that iTunes will know then if each of the computer's user accounts has a different iTunes account?
    When you authorize an iTunes account on your computer, the authorization info is stored in \Users\Shared\. When you run iTunes, it looks there to see if it can play purchases. The purchase account info is embedded into each purchased file.

  • Migrate itunes from pc to mac with multiple user accounts

    I've read the numerous articles on transferring one's itunes library from a windows machine to a mac and I *think* I've got the details sorted (have itunes copy everything and then organize my library, then copy whole folder to external drive). I only have one itunes account but it my full library and itunes account is used across different windows user accounts.
    My mac is setup with multiple user accounts and I'd like to have a single library and single itunes account (same apps, etc.,). I'm not quite sure how to migrate the library from windows and then set it up on the mac such that all mac user accounts are sharing the same library and itunes account. Any guidance?
    Forgot to mention, have 2 iphones and 1 ipad as well, all attached to the same apple id.

  • Multiple .Mac accounts, on one Admin account on one computer

    Hello all,
    I am trying to have multiple .Mac accounts to publish independent iWeb websites on unique domains (the apple iweb provided ones) but it appears I can only have one .Mac account on my computer's network user to do the easy one click Publish button to.
    I don't want to use multiple user accounts on my computer as I'd like to have access to all my photos, music, videos and everything else and easily do so without logging out from my main account.
    What am I missing?
    Many thanks,
    Michael

    The only safe and easy method is multiple user accounts.
    You can easily store your iPhoto and music Libraries on an external drive and share them between accounts.

  • Having trouble with multiple user accounts

    I am still getting used to Aperture and am having trouble with multiple user accounts on my Mac.
    My wife and I have separate accounts on our Mac, and both have Administrator rights. We keep our Aperture library in the "Shared" folder, and I have made sure that both she and I have read/write capabilities on the Aperture library.
    However, she has difficulty creating new projects, saving data, and viewing thumbnails in Aperture. Whenever she creates a project, it does not save into Aperture, and cannot be viewed by any user. In addition, changes she makes to photos do not save. She also cannot view thumbnails of any photos (although she can see the photos in the viewer).
    Are there any changes I need to make to the user accounts so she can have all these capabilities?
    Many Thanks.

    Rather than having the Aperture library reside in the shared folder, keep it within a folder residing at the top level of your mac, eg.
    I actually keep mine on one of my RAID disks.

  • Cannot ping ibook with multiple admin accounts

    i am trying to set up remote control across a LAN, and have had success with two iMac G5's controlled from my dual G5. the problem is that i can't connect to an iBook with exactly the same settings and firewall config.
    in trying to troubleshoot, i have noticed that i can't ping the iBook, and the only thing i can think of that is different is that the iBook has two user accounts, both of which have admin privileges. could this be causing the problem?
    if not, what else could i try? any suggestions, please?

    I doubt very much that the problem is caused by having two user accounts with administrator privileges. I have several systems with multiple admin accounts and have never had them cause a problem with the network.
    Since you can't even ping the iBook, that would seem to make it a problem with the OS or the network, not with Apple Remote Desktop, so you might have more luck getting suggestions if you ask in the networking forum in the appropriate Mac OS X area.
    Good luck.

  • Advice about creating a website(s) with a .Mac Account - Newbie

    Hello,
    I need some advice about creating a website with a .Mac Account.
    The Situation
    For my media course we need to create a short film, then brand it, and distribute it along with press releases and press packs. No other group have thought about setting up a website - where it has all the company details, info about the Cast, Crew, Film, and maybe a link to the finished product.
    The Problem.
    I'm the only one who has an Apple Laptop. We don't want to use the computer at the university as A LOT of students use them and every month or so they're given a clean install.
    I've designed my own 'virtual series' website to showcase my screen writing work, but I haven't uploaded it. I was waiting until I finish university in the summer before I activated my 1 year .Mac Account. I have a .Mac Account, which has still got to be activated.
    How do i go about creating my 'video production' site, if I've already got my own created and sitting in iWeb?
    How could I just 'launch/upload' my 'video production' site without putting my own up as well?
    Should we buy a separate .Mac Account?
    Oh, and what would the address be, so that we can put them on business cards.
    THANKS for any and all help.

    Lots of questions... you've come to the right place!

  • How can I share only the same music with multiple iTunes accounts

    Hello
    I hope someone can help. [I am using Windows Vista (Unfortunately J) and iTunes 10]
    I am trying to share the same music library with multiple iTunes accounts. Basically, I want to know if there is a way to automatically upload to other libraries when importing new music into my library, vice versa. [Better information below]
    Me, my sister and my dad all use iTunes (on different iTunes accounts), and before now we used to have are own music on our own windows user. Due to many duplicates and a loss of hard drive space I have brought an external hard drive and organised all the music.
    It was all going well - I first populated all the music onto my iTunes, exported the library, and then imported it on both the other users. However! Because this is only a copy of the library, when I try to import a new CD, it will not show up on there’s until I “Add File to Library”! Originally I thought about using the same library however we each have are own apps etc, that we don’t want to share.
    If you need anymore information please ask!

    Hello roaminggnome
    Unfortunately the support is down at the moment, I will have a better look later. I did go though the Apple support previously, however I found nothing that worked.
    The first thread I came across was “Home Sharing” however no mater what I did, it did not appear in the iTunes sharing list (I did go though the “Show Sharing Networks” support as well)
    Secondly, I saw “Using A Single Library With Multiple Accounts On The Same PC” (Something like that) but all this did was let us share the same music location, if I was to rip extra music, it will not show in there library

  • Using a seagate external drive with multiple macs

    i got a 1TB seagate external hard drive for backup and transfer purposes... it had a little program to help set it up and i set it up for use with mac and pc ( only onther option was stricty this computer.) it works on my computer and a pc but when i tried transfering files from another older mac i have it showed that i could only read on that computer...
    how can i get it to work with multiple macs...?

    I have the oldest macbook (1.83. 2 gigs ram, 60 gig internal hard drive)
    I have all my logic content on my external maxtor firewire 400 drive (usb 2.0 is actually faster than firewire 400) and everything is fine. the good thing is if your external drive has 7200rpm, but the ones with 5600rpm should do as well.
    Once you drag your apple loops to logic from your external drive, logic will remember for the next visit. And when you are opening a project which is on the external drive , just find it with logic finder and all should be fine.

  • Cannot access shared external hard drive with other mac accounts

    I cannot access a shared external hard drive with other mac accounts (all accounts are on the same macbook Pro). The shared external drive is shared via time capsule and is connected (of course) in USB. I see well this external hard drive as a shared disk with my main account. Yes shared option has been activated with the Airport Utility .. but when I open other account these othe accounts can see the external drive but cannot access to its content that is flagged with a no way sign. Strangely enough when I close my main account and start opening a new session with one of the other account then fine I can access the external hard drive and its content .. BUT then it is from my main account than I cannot access its content the no way sign showing ..
    Looks like only one account at a time can access the content of this SHARED external hard drive .. any one as an idea on how to really make it a shared hard drive so that all accounts on the same mac can also access it ? I am at my wit ends on this case. THANKS ..

    Results of my enquiries at Apple Genius Bar .. the guys found the problem interesting. They've been unable to provide a fix neither to give any explanation as to the reason why. To be fair I was not much impressed by the technical level demonstrated ..
    In the mean time I have found that if account no.1 can see the shared external drive content and in such case account no.2 (same Mac computer) cannot see its content (only the external HD with a no way sign) this account no.2 can UNMOUNT (by ejecting) this external HD from account 1 and then remount it (just clicking on the TC shared part in a finder window) and .. see and access its content ; whilst account no.1 cannot see its content anylonger. Unless it unmounts the shared external HD and remount it .. then account no.2 can see its content anylonger. This can goes on an on.
    So eventually YES the TC can allow to share a USB external drive between several accounts and a same Mac .. BUT this require to unmount and remount EACH time the external drive is accessed from a "no.2 account". So OK to share files with seldom access but not practical in case of frequent access needed.
    I just I have now to figure how iTunes can automatically unmount and remount a shared external HD when it needs to access one of this shared HD content from on time account no.1 and then next time from account no.2. May be I am asking too much ..

  • 1 Apple TV 2nd Gen, Windows 7 Computer with multiple user accounts

    The issue that I am having is I have 1 Apple TV 2nd Gen and Windows 7 Computer with multiple user accounts.
    When I log onto my Windows user account, open up Itunes and turn on home sharing my Apple TV work perfect but if another family member switches to their Windows user account without logging me out, the home share shows up on Apple TV but it just says "Loading ... Library" and never loads.
    If we switch back to my user account, restart iTunes, everything is fine. Is there a way to keep my home share active in ATV2 across multiple user accounts? All of my video is under my account.

    You can home-share multiple libraries but only use one account at a time.

  • IMac with multiple user accounts "cannot associate apple id for ....."

    I have an iMac with multiple user accounts each with an Apple ID and individual iTunes library and Itunes match linking to iPhones iPads etc.
    I bought songs on my iPhone yesterday, on trying to listen to them on the iMac (my user account) this morning I get the "cannot associacte Apple ID for another 31 day" meassage.
    Is there any way round this? or is the answer only purchase via iTunes on the iMac in the individual account. Why do Apple do this?

  • Mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select

    mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select:
    i'm using mail on osx 10.7 with multiple gmail accounts. when i create an email, i check to be sure i'm sending/replying from the correct account. after i send it, somehow it actually sends it from a different account, other than the one i've selected "from." this is evidenced by the reply email i receive. how can i fix this?
    in preferences, i have "send new messages from : account of selected mailbox"

    From the Mail menu bar, select
              Mail ▹ Preferences...
    The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
              Send new messages from:
    choose
              Account of selected mailbox
    Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
    If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
    In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
              Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
    If there's only one server in the menu, select
              Edit SMTP Server List...
    and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
    Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
              Card ▹ Make This My Card
    from the menu bar.

  • User exit after selecting vendor with multiple bank accounts

    Hi,
    the requirement is that a pop-up should appear after the user selects a vendor with multiple bank accounts, in transaction MIRO, FB60, F-43 and a few other transactions.
    I was thinking of a user exit. Honestly, I wonder if this is technically possible ?
    Any hints welcome,
