IWeb without MobileMe

I'm probably being really dense here...but. When I started using iWeb I was testing out a web-site through my trial period account at MobileMe. But ultimately I decided to register my own domain elsewhere, so I'm not using MobileMe. My question is: when I was still on the trial period of MobileMe - every time I imported something new to my web-page it appeared as a file in iDisk. So a vidoe I had on my site appeared as an mp4 in the iWeb folder on iDisk, along with jpegs, etc. If I'm not using MobileMe - and the iDisk gets disabled - where is all this stuff going? I'm only asking because I'm trying to figure out the best way to manage everything. When I save latest changes to my site in iWeb - where is it saving everything to before I publish it since it's no longer iDisk and MobileMe. Is it saving it to the company that's hosting my web-site?
Thanks!

iWeb saves your website data to a domain file whose default location is Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
Its important to realize that, once files are published from iWeb locally on your Mac or to MobileMe or another server they cannot be imported back into the application. If you lose this file, or it gets corrupted, you have lost your website so its really important to back it up and keep that backup up to date.

Using iWeb without MobileMe?

I would like to use iWeb but don't have a MobileMe account, & don't really want to get one since I have no iPhone or iPad. Does anyone have experience publishing onto another server? Which ones work best? Is it free? Is it complicated? Please help! Thanks

iWeb '09 has a built in FTP or you can publish to a local folder and upload using an FTP application.
When choosing hosting you get what you pay for.
This page will give you an idea of what to look for when choosing hosting.

Publishing photo's to iweb - without mobileme can it still be done? Does iweb still exist? Help

I have bought the latest version of iPhoto but still can't seem to publish my photo page. I'm sure this is an old question that's been answered time and time again but I can't seem to find anything on this that gives a clear answer.
Thanks

iWeb exists but is not suported or developed anymore.
You can still build a Photos or Albums page in iWeb and publish it...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
You would need to sign up for hosting...

If you don't have a domain name, most hosting services will provide one free.

IWeb without using mobileme??

can i create a website and later get a domain name and publish the site i created in iWeb without using mobileme or anything like that?? sorry, new to all this and don't want to get going and realize i need a mobileme account

To add to Roddy's post - these are the features that will be lost by not hosting on MobileMe:
Features Unavailable When Publishing to a Non-Mac Server:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Blog RSS Subscription
◼ Hit counter
◼ Enhanced slideshows
Most can be overcome on the 3rd party server except for the Enhanced slideshows. Don't ask me what that is because I've not been able to find out (I use MMe). You can use a good, strong 3rd party blogging service and embed your blog site in one of your site's pages: Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page. For password protection most commercial hosting services offer that feature, for either the whole site or individual pages.

After 24 hours, my iweb pages finally posted! Is it me? Iweb? Mobileme?

After 24 hours, my iweb pages finally posted! Is it me? Iweb? Mobileme? All the above? I'd really like to know before my family kills me for tying up all of our bandwidth for the entire day again. Yes besides taking forever to upload, the process seems to have halted my entire home network.
I spent an hour on the phone with apple today (103297246) to have tech one say it was mobile me and tech two say it was iweb. I called time warner to see if they had throttled down my internet because I was uploading-LOL getting an answer there.
I may be the problem. To add my albums to iweb, I just dragged them to an album page on iweb. Here is an example:
http://web.me.com/tedcarlos/Friends/Friends/Friends.html
I am wondering if I should have clicked the iweb button to do this when I wanted to take them out of iphoto and put them in iweb? In the past doing this with movies to iDVD has been sooo time consuming I thought dragging would be easier and that iweb would scale them accordingly. Anyone know anything about this?
Another question I have is about iweb. Why does the thing offer to upload part of your iweb sites at a time, but when it actually begins the process, it appears to upload everything? Apple had no explanation for this except to say they were working on it. Could this be the source of the slowdown?
Another thought is iweb's interface with mobile me. Could it just be off? Could I just publish my sites to folder and then drag to my idisc? If so does it take everything?
Any help of thoughts on these subjects would be most appreciated. Thank's
Theo

I usually apply some common sense before calling support.
I also prepare my stuff before publishing it.
So, after some assumptions and using the calculator:
418 photos @ 0.350MB a piece = 146MB
29 movies @ 15MB a piece = 435MB
Total = 581MB = 0.5GB
That takes some time. No need for support, just patience.
Also, it's good practice not to dump everything from the camera straight on the page. Especially AVI movies do not work well in webpages.
Magic word: iMovie
Hope this helps.

Cannot publish iWeb to MobileMe after renewal of subscription

Since the renewal date of my MobileMe subscription on December 26, 2010, I have not been able to publish updates to my iWeb site [www.averroespress.com] to MobileMe. A popup message appears asking me to sign in to MobileMe. When I do, the MobileMe Preferences box appears showing me logged in to MobileMe while the iWeb continues as unpublishable. Is this tied to my subscription renewal or is iWeb and MobileMe acting up?
BTW, the subscription payment has not been charged to my Visa. Who should I contact?

I'm having the same exact problem. My renewal date was 12/27/10, my account is active. Spent 3 hours on tech support chat with no solution. Not only can I not publish to Mobileme, I need to know how to change a faulty domain address that shows up on my mobileme account under idisc/sites/iweb/iweb pages, then this message when you click on the page:
http://www.sbcyouthministries.org/Site/Welcome.html This url is not correct. The correct address is www.oneeighysbc.com, as shows in my account settings under personal domain. How do I change this?
I can not publish my iweb site to my mobileme account, only a folder on my mac then to the web. Will this affect syncing from icalendar on my mac to the google calendar on my iwebsite? Does it affect one click web publishing on iweb?

Will I still me able to keep my blogs and websites with iWeb after Mobileme is discontinued?

My wife and I use iWeb via Mobileme for our websites and blogs. Mobileme is being discontinued for iCloud. Can anyone reassure me that I can keep my iWeb websites? I feel iWeb was a good thing that almost got better but has been neglected in the last version of iLife so for the first time didn't upgrade. I am anxious that Apple will just let it slip away. Perhaps not?

I don't have any insider information, but I would have to guess that Apple would keep a web hosting option to its chosen successor to MobileMe. iCould is clearly a Hosted Exchange Server alternative and web hosting would seem to be needed for many small businesses who are using this service as an alternative to web hosting. It also helps push their iLife product line. If you kill webhosting, iWeb becomes a weaker product. That said, I would keep a backup.
I think that as iCloud gets nearer to release date, we will see more options get released. I'm sure that Apple will be willing to sell more storage space, that web hosting will be available, etc. My gut is that probably won't charge for the hosting, but will draw down from your data pool. It just seems like a cleaner way and will actually get more people to take the jump. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Sharepoint type service emerge as well. Only time will tell, but Apple's philosophy is to make all their pieces fit together and work better than than anyone else's. A web hosting component seems to make sense.

I want to add an album to iWeb from a folder on my desktop but I do not want to first add it to iPhoto, is there a way I can add a photo to iWeb without it being from iPhoto?

Yes. You want to add photos from a folder on the desktop to an existing iWeb album page? Just bring up the page in iWeb and drag the photo into the group of thumbnails that are displayed on the page and move it to where you want it locate

Synching without MobileMe

Hi,
Without MobileMe, is the only way to sync my iPhone with my Mac is via cable? ... In other words, is it not possible to sync via Wi-Fi home network?
Thank you in advance!
PS. I have iPhone 3gs running iOS 4.2

Cable is it for direct sync. An alternative is to sync Google Calendar/contacts with your Mac and your iPhone with Google.

Can I use iWeb without .mac?

I can't figure out if I can create a web site with iWeb without having a .mac account. Apple implies, but is not stating it conclusively, just recommending it:
"iWeb publishing requires Internet and webserver access (.Mac recommended)".
I have no need for .mac and have web hosting elsewhere. Does anyone know if I can just use iWeb to create my website and publish elsewhere?

PS Here's a note on tips for this:

How to sync iCal between iPhone and MacBookPro without MobileMe?

Hello,
How can I sync iCal between iPhone and MacBookPro without MobileMe?
I'm still using MobileMe, but I will stop soon.
I'm using my iPhone in India a lot to create new events or to add new contacts. At the end of the day I would like to able to sync it with my MacBookPro without using MobileMe. Internet Connection is often very bad in that area. The iPhone I only use without UMTS and all that Data Transfering stuff. Best for me would be to sync directly by wire or Bluetooth if possible. If you have a solution with and without Internet Connection, that would be very helpfull to me.

On the Mac, in iTunes with iPhone attached, click on the iPhone section. Go to the "info" tab. There you will see a list of items that can be synced. Make sure that "sync addressbook contacts" is checked, along with the appropriate choices under it.
Don't know what else to say, it works fine here.
Hope this helps.

Is using iWeb without a MobileMe account futile

I have no need for a MobileMe account so it's way overpriced compared to an average host.
I was able to do this much - publish an iWeb site to a local folder and use my Mac as a host (This shouldn't matter but I used the Safari server with MAMP - i.e. Macintosh Apache MySql PHP) to get more functionality than the one with Leopard. Using Port forwarding allows the Mac to be a host, but obviously this isn't a good solution if you understand IP. The RSS and Podcast features worked except for the comment functionality and the search didn't, but I can work around that.
I started out using this method because the only other publish option was "Publish to a folder". (which you select on your local file system) I really want to publish to a remote host. I don't know of any way to do this here, but perhaps there is:
So one question is: Is there a way on Leopard to make a folder a kind of alias for an HTTP address:? Or some other clever method of using publish to folder publish the files to a host via HTTP.
Mobile networking is a huge trend and Apple shouldn't have to shut out the few of us that don't want it now by not having a publish feature in iWeb that allows you to use a host of your choice. It doesn't matter why iWeb was written this way. I'm just really frustrated because it's a waste of 80$ for me if I can't get this to work.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, because I'd certainly like to be wrong about this. But not including a publish feature that allows you to select a remote host seems rather suspect.
Ok, I had what I thought was a very acceptable and reasonable workaround, which has very desirable features. I came up against another limitation that I find really hard to live with, if I can't find an easy workaround. iWeb generates a lot of files in a folder structure. So, I tried reading them into Adobe Dreamweaver (which is by far the best XHTML editor available and adheres to the newest w3c standards.) When I tried this, half of the site just didn't work, and the scripting was not functional in IE 7. I'm sure tons of other stuff doesn't work and I didn't even bother to go through it all. Using Dreamweaver would allow me to publish to a host of my choice and it would also allow me to do things that iWeb can't do.
I like iWeb, especially for it's podcasting implementation, but it's obviously is very limited. I always assumed that since HTML is such a ubiquitous and well established standard that I just assumed iWeb HTML could be read with most any HTML editor, especially Dreamweaver. If I wanted any advanced functionality I could get it there, and use iWeb for the podcasting and simple sites.
Is iWeb so proprietary that it's generating HTML and supporting files that can't be edited in a product as superb as Dreamweaver? Has anyone had any luck editing the files produced by iWeb in another HTML editor? I would have thought this was a given.
I'm hoping that someone can give me some workarounds. Otherwise, it will confirm my theory that Apple is forcing MobileMe as a host for iWeb sites, which is really restrictive and unnecessary.
This is extremely frustrating and so if anyone has any workarounds to these problems, I'd really appreciate hearing them.
Otherwise, I just wasted 80$ on iLife, which I don't appreciate. And if getting iLife 09 is the workaround, I think I'd need to be convinced that it can both publish to any host and that it produces files that are compatible with Dreamweaver to even consider it.
Thank you for your help,
-Frank

fpatrick08,
My 2 cents, I though about getting mobileme service but the $99 per year stopped me. After I got my hosting with another company I found out that amazon sell the service for $69 per year. I still do not use mobileme but with Cyberduck and some work around it work pretty decent. You can see it by yourself here: http://www.wesdotphotography.com/Home.html
Hope this help

Publishing a regular html file without using iweb or mobileme?

i'm in a web design class where everyone uses windows based systems and i'm learning html/css codes. i'm using komodo to write my code and now i'm at the point where we are talking about publishing the sites we've made for our projects. iweb will not open my htm files nor will komodo publish files like iweb can through mobile me.
my question is can i publish my websites another way without going to an external source on my mac?

You can host your site on your Mac as described in these websites:

There are free hosting sites that you could use also. There are several topics about that: Community Search: Apple Support Communities

Maintaining an iWeb site from multiple computers without MobileMe

Hi,
I've chosen iWeb '09 to create the web presence for one of my hobby clubs (RC aircraft). The club doesn't have a MobileMe account, and I've used the FTP upload feature in iWeb '09 to publish the site. This has been working perfectly for me, but what I'd really like is to be able to continue working from either my MacBook or my iMac, depending upon my location. Sometimes I'm away from home and have some free time to update the site, but other times I am at home and I want to work on it from the big-screen iMac.
I realize that this can be done via copying domain files to a shared drive, and my thought is to share an external hard drive to both my network, and over the internet via an Airport Extreme. The only documents I was able to find regarding this referred to hosting on MobileMe. My only worry is that this may not be possible if I'm NOT hosting the site on MobileMe. In another life, I used FrontPage to publish such hobby sites, and it could work on the files from any copy of FP on any computer. Though I don't really miss FP as a whole, I do miss that feature.
Yes, I know it will likely be suggested that the club open a MobileMe account. I have one and I love it, but let's face it... 100 bucks a year is a bit much. The club's entire web hosting service isn't even half that.

Before I go off on a trip I upload a zipped copy of my domain file to the server. I can then download it onto another Mac in another location to work on it.
You'll find another method at the bottom of this page under "Updating your Website from Multiple Locations" .....
