Keeping the right site tied to my short url on MobileMe

I have maintained multiple websites in multiple domain files, all published to MobileMe since iWeb first came out. I have one site which serves as an index page to all the sites I maintain. This index site is designed to be tied to my short url at MobileMe (http://web.me.com/username). That way from my short url I (or others) can access all the sites.
Prior to iWeb 09, I knew how to make sure that site remained tied to my short user name. Namely, I only published website changes using "Publish to MobileMe" and never "Publish All to MobileMe."
I recently bought a MacBook Pro, with iWeb 09 installed, and have shifted to using it to maintain my websites. But now, any time I update a website (using "Publish Changes"), that website "takes over" the short url.
Is there a solution to this? I did try searching the forums before posting, but my search turned up so many "false matches" I'm afraid I gave up slogging through them all.

With iWeb 09 the last published site is the one that the will be the default site when entering the minimal http://web.me.com/username URL. You can fix that using the method Wyodor posted here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10748607&#10748607 .
Or you can purchase a domain name for that entry site and use simple domain name forwarding with or without masking. The domain name would be pointed to the URL http://web.me.com/username/EntrySiteName/. Then it won't matter which site is the last published site.
My tutorial site, http://toadstutorials.info, is setup with the simple URL forwarding with masking. Then down side to masking is that visitors can only bookmark the first/entry page of the site.

How to keep the right sidebar on this website from going under the main content (center) column?

Hi...is there a way to keep the right sidebar on this website from going under the main content (center) column when the browser window is made smaller? It would be great if the middle (main content) column could get smaller instead of the sidebar moving under the text when the window is made smaller. I'm working with a fluid layout and this is the first time I've tried this. Any help would be appreciated. Here is the link to the website:

Clients on secondary site cannot find the right site to connect

Hi, I have a primary site of SCCM 2012 R2, and a secondary site.
The Site code for the primary site is 'LPZ' and for the secondary site is 'SCZ', when I trying to install an SCCM client at the secondary site (in windows client or server) it is assigned only to the primary Site, and if you try to change the site
manually to correct the site assignment we receive this error message "Failed to update site assignment".
We have updated the AD and both the primary and secondary site are published into my AD, and the SCCM servers has the proper rights over the container.
Reviewing the installation logs I cant find any clue to help me to resolve this behaviour.
Raulito

Resident site is where the Client physically exists and this is determined by the boundary groups.
Assigned site is the Site to which client is assigned and this is LPZ in your case for all machines as you have just one Primary.

My album artwork is scrambled and manually changing the artwork does not seem to keep the right artwork with the songs! Any suggestions?

I manually re-synced my ipod with all of my music because I had typed in a bunch of names where my library had previously said track#/unknown album, and when I was done syncing, a good percentage of the album art was scrambled. When I try to manually change the artwork on the inappropriately tagged albums or delete and re-sync the album, it does not keep the artwork that I assign to it or the correct artwork that is associated with it in itunes. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

It seems like I've seen this... I think you should un-sync all music (in iTunes) hit Apply and then resync it all back on.

How can i get popup blocker to keep the allowed sites that i add?

Here where I work, we have a site that opens in a popup window. I have added it to the popup exceptions list, but after a day or so, that site disappears from that allowed site list. Not sure what keeps going on. It's been doing this for a while, even on previous versions. The browser is on the most current version, 33.0, just FYI.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Can you find a pattern to the disappearance? For example:
# Every time you exit Firefox it is cleared?
# Every time to shut down and restart Windows it is cleared?
# It is cleared on a schedule?
For #1, make sure Firefox is not set to clear too much history at shutdown.
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
If you have "Firefox will: Remember history" then there shouldn't be a problem. If you have "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history" then make sure "Clear history when Firefox closes" is NOT checked, or if it is checked, click the Settings button and make sure that Site Preferences are NOT set to be cleared.
For #2 and #3, utility, privacy and system cleaning software sometimes clean up browser settings beyond just clearing cookies. You may need to check their settings if you have one or more of these programs.

Links I get for a photo-sharing website open correctly in IE but not in Firefox 35.0, which goes to the right site but the wrong page. Previous Fox was fine.

In the past, clicking on the link in Thunderbird opened the page at shutterfly.com correctly in FF (default browser). Now it goes
straight to one of the options for the photos that the link referred to.
Copy & paste the link directly into FF gives the same dud result - whereas IE opens it perfectly.
I have also tried disabling Adblockplus and my various plug-ins.

guigs2 - I've tried that but no joy. In fact, the about:config was set to user
defined, so I reset it to default as advised and tried the link again. No change.
jayelbe - Somehow I don't think the sender of the link would like having his
Shutterfly page floating around the place, even if its in a good cause. Sorry!
You could, of course, set up a Shutterfly account (its free), upload a pic and
share it with whoever - the invite to share is sent direct from the site.

Setting & keeping the right time & date

Hi,
After light saving I had to re-set the time on my iPod touch which was in itself weird. But what really bugs me is that it always changes the time (its a random time) when I place it in my apple doc thats plugged into my Mac Pro.
Any help would be much appreciated!

it is updating to compare to your Mac Pro,
check the time and date on your Mac Pro

In using iWeb to publish my site with FileZilla, I have inadvertently published a subdirectory instead of the root site. Can anyone guide me?

In the site name I put my site: combustionevent.com
And I put in my server address in the ftp settings and correct user name & password
In the website URL I typed in: www.mysitet.com
But when it publishes, it's found at: http://www.mysite.com/www.mysite.com/mysite_Home.html
I can't seem to figure out how to get it out of a subdirectory.
Thanks,
Nixels1954

Well, of course you won't be able to because producing the site folder, which is what it is is normal practice for iWeb. Due to the site structure, iWeb will create and publish a site folder.
To get over this you have 2 choices:
1. Change the site name to something shorter and more applicable and upload again and keep the site folder.
2. Publish your site to a local folder from iWeb and then use Cyberduck to upload your site to iWeb, but upload the CONTENTS ONLY of your site folder rather than the whole site folder itself. Your url will then be http://www.domain.com/page_name.html.

Printing in the right colours?

Hi.
I have an logo which is 2 shades of purple and a black outline.
I have had it printed a few times now with great disappointment. Sometimes the purples come out in a greyish faded purple red, other times quite pink.
What do i need to do in order to make sure the right purples are printed in every company?
Please bear in mind that im completely new to this. Im only designing as i can find or afford any decent designers.
Thanks, Benji

Benji,
I think i get the concept of spot colours but going about doing something about it.... i woudnt have a clue where to start...
Is it a computer program, a shade of ink, a colour code???
In edit> colour settings... there is an RGB drop down menu with loads of different settings and the same for CMYK...
What is RGB vs CMYK all about and why is there no selection for viewing in either?
RGB (Red/Green/Blue) is the kind of colours made of light you see on the screen; that is especially used for web.
CMYK (Cyan/Magenta/Yellow/Black) is the colours made as blend of the four inks, also called process colours; used for print.
RGB span a wider range of colours, called Gamut, and especially many bright colours cannot be reproduced with CMYK so you may lose the brightness of the colour by goind from RGB to CMYK.
Spot colours are special inks that may be used along with or instead of CMYK; they may be much brighter.
You may specify spot colours in your document. You should not expect to see them represented truly on screen so you have to know them from a swatch book or similar.
When you choose Document Color Mode, you choose which kind of colours you are using, and those will be represented; if you use the other kind, or if you switch mode, the colours will change, sometimes profoundly.
The colour settings are tools to get/keep the right/consistent colours all the way from the creation of artwork to the final use in print or on screen or whatever.
Again, apologies for being completely new to this but i appreciate your patience and advice.
Thanks

Tab plus + on the right side is gone!!

a childish programmer came to the idea to remove new tab plus + to the left site!!! But I want it again on the right site after opend new tab!
if I open a new tab ____+ plus should stay directly after new opened tab

I have now solved that problem!
Put flexible 2 tabs on the right side of an opend new tab then move + tabe between the two flexible tabs after that remove left flexible tab so + icon is always near the new opened tab
Mozilla should throw out that idiotic programmer who changed the place of new + tab from the right site !

Short URL in the browser address bar

Hi we are using Robo Help product. we launched it on Apache Tomcat server.
When we publish a project in an area and try to view that, the URL in the address bar is displayed very long with % characters and other junk.
can anyone please let me know how to customize the URL? a user friendly URL in place of the long URL. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Colum,
can you please explain these 2 points from your posts. I am very new to Robohelp so I am not able to understand some of these terms
1. When the help is called (e.g. through an API call) the end user sees a much shorter URL along the lines of what Mayank has provided.
2. If you are wanting to shorten the actual URL that is returned by your browser, why would you want to? I wouldn't even go there as it will depend on the browser being used.
I am attaching the screenshot which explains you clearly about my requirement in a sequence.
1 st screenshot shows you the login screen
2nd screenshot shows the projects window where in if we click on that displays the projects
3rd screenshot shows the project 'CCC' and when we click on View Project opens 4th screenshot
If you see the URL in screenshot it contains lot of % characters and other junk. I want a user friendly URL in place of that. can you please help me? I have to put this in place Friday, anyhelp on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for looking into this.

"short" urls and multiple domain files

"If you have separate sites with separate Domain files and published separately to .Mac, they will be listed on your iDisk in alphabetical order and your short .Mac url will point to the one at the top of the list on the iDisk."
I'm thinking about splitting my domain file, as my sites are growing large and it is time consuming for iWeb to recreate all the pages when I've only changed one site. I'd like to keep a particular "site" (consisting of one page with links to my other "real" sites) at the top of the list so it is always what appears when folks go to my short url. Are than any non-alphanumeric characters that I can use at the begin that won't cause problems for browsers?
Does this mean that if my preferred "top site" is in domain file A and I publish domain file B after I've published domain A, the "top site" will still be the site at the short url?
Also, can somebody please remind me again how to use a link in the forums here but have text other than the full url show up? I think I've done it before, but I've forgotten.

I spoke too soon on this and a correction is needed. When you publish to .Mac using individual Domain files, your short url will point to the most recently published index.html file, which will then take you to your most recently published site. I tested this just prior to that last statement in that post and my browser cache tripped me up here.

I don't think that's necessary; you can keep a copy of the index.html file which points to your preferred site and place it back on your iDisk after publishing any site to force your short url to point to the site of your choice.

My problem is recreating the align right effect while keeping
the menu fixed using flash AS2 mostly for re sizing as well as
different screen sizes.
While i can do one or the other but both is just not
happening.
I have tried all sorts of weird and wonderful things but as
yet, alas no easy/simple solution :(
I must admit it has been a long time since i have been here
but.. I thought if someone could have a quick look and maybe please
give me a few pointers ??
Anything at all would be better than what i have now ...
Thanks for your time

The link again is I forgot to add http to the link before, but it should have worked.

working with spry widgets -> working with the menu bar widget -> Customize the dimension of menu items as indicated
To change the dimension of menu items by changing the width properties of the menu item’s li and ul tags.
Locate the ul.MenuBarVertical li or ul.MenuBarHorizontal li rule.
Change the width property to a desired width, or change the property to auto to remove a fixed width, and add the property and value white-space: nowrap; to the rule.
Locate the ul.MenuBarVertical ul or ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul rule.
Change the width property to a desired width (or change the property to auto to remove a fixed width).
Locate the ul.MenuBarVertical ul li or ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li rule.
Add the following properties to the rule: float: none; and background-color: transparent;.

Under IE it's broken, under the other browsers it works.
There need to be more IE HACKS added.

How can I download a US iPad User's Manual when my apple ID keeps sending me to the French site?

How can I download a US iPad User's Manual when my apple ID keeps sending me to the French site? I live in France but am American and prefer to work in English. My Apple ID is tied to my French address and Apple blocks me from downloading from the US site. What do I need to do to get US apps and manuals if I don't have a US address for a credit card?

Perhaps the simplest thing you could do is ask a US based friend to download the User Guide, have them email it to you in PDF. Save the PDF to your iTunes account, then sync it to your iPad.
