Linking another URL to an existing iWeb site?

Is it possible to link another URL that I have registered (with GoDaddy) so that it connects directly with the URL associated with my iWeb site?
Thanks so much for any advice.
Steve Pressman

Use masked web forwarding and forward your domain name to web.me.com/username/sitename.
If you have used CNAME forwarding once, then you need to use web forwarding for your other domain name.

  • How do you hyperlink a rollover to another page from within your iweb site?

    Ive made a bunch of rollovers for my iweb navigation bar. If youve created a rollover you know you have to link the images to a image hosting site. here as you would just normally drag and drop a image from your desk top. Because of the way iweb works, if you are using images from a image hosting sit, you can no longer adjust the characteristics of the images i.e. colors, size, and in this case the hyperlink. More specifically you cant change the hyperlink to a page within the iweb site.
    So the problem im trying to figure out is how to link the rollover to a page within my iweb site.
    now you can actually change the hyperlink of the rollover. however you must do this by adjusting the html within the snippet of the rollover. The problem i found is that iweb doesnt creat sub domains for each page. a entire iweb site with multible pages uses only one domain which is the homepage. so i cant just type a subdomain of another page into the snippet hyperlink because the subdomain doesnt exist.
    here is the link to my site. youll notice i did figure out a work around with the "contact us" button but its a huge pain in the butt. i had to create a new domain and a new site then attach the referal index.html to that new domain. todo this for every single button is very difficult.

    so i guess the bigger question is, is there a easier way to do this?
    perhaps if there was a way to create a subdomains like springgardenranch.tk/contactus withing iweb for each page. but i dont even know if thats possible.
    thanks for you help.

    Because of the way iweb works, if you are using images from a image hosting sit, you can no longer adjust the characteristics of the images i.e. colors, size, and in this case the hyperlink.
    Then use  your own images. Then you can create them the way you want.
    Here's how I do it :

  • Downloading Existing iWeb Site?

    Hello All:
    I recently bought a new Mac and lost my preferences and settings for the version of iWeb I had on my old Mac.
    I have an existing personal website that I developed using iWeb that is hosted on my MobileMe account.
    Question: How can I download the code and settings on my existing iWeb-developed site onto my new Mac. My new computer has a copy of iWeb on it. I can't seem to find any information on the iWeb application about doing this.
    Thanks!

    Mark ~ If by "code and settings" you mean the site itself, you cannot import a published site back into iWeb. Only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. If you still have that file on your old Mac, then you can transfer that to your new Mac.
    See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
    Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.
    If you don't have that Domain file on your old Mac, paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

  • Connect to existing iWeb site

    OK, messed up my laptop and re-installed everything, then realized I hadn't backed up my iWeb site. So it is on the .Mac server, but my iWeb doesn't know it. How to get it reconnected (iLive v6 version of iWeb)

    Have a look at the following page
    http://retrieve.iwebfaq.org
    in addition to that you could work with hyperlinks linking from iWeb to the preserved copy on server of your old page.

  • Accessing existing iWeb site via second computer

    My iWeb / Mobile me/ website was created and is maintained on my Macbook but I need to now update it from my office iMac machine.

  • Updating An Existing iWeb Site?

    So, i have a great site, and I'm scratching my head as to figure out how to update my site using iWeb without REPUBLISHING the entire site again. I've searched all throughout iWeb Help but I cannot seem to find anything useful.
    Help Anyone?

    That option does not exist in either iWeb 08 or 09. In 08 it was either Publish All to MobileMe or Publish to MobileMe. The Publish option would just publish updated pages rather than the whole site.
    In iWeb 09 the option that exists is ftp to MobileMe, ftp to server or send to a folder. I believe that if using 09, if any updates are made, just the changed pages are uploaded instead of the whole site automatically, to MobileMe anyway.

  • Some page links not working when I publish iweb site to desktop folder?

    I just created a photo website using iweb. All the links to pages, etc. work fine in the programme but when I go to publish it to folder to check it on a web page some of the page links don't work?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    - Ricky

    Even though you have deactivated the iWeb navigation menu, the navigation layer still exists and is blocking your custom links. Open the Inspector Page tab and try changing the value for Header Height to zero. See if this does anything for you. If not, then try increasing the Header Height value incrementally. This pushes the navigation layer down your page and maybe out of the way of your custom links.
    Of course, there is also the question of whether you custom links are placed on the page as a header element or as a regular page element. You can put elements into the header or footer layers by holding down the Apple key while dragging the elements until you see the header/footer outline highlight in blue.
    If your custom links are header elements, then increasing the header height to push the navigation layer down will probably help. If your custom links are page elements, then decreasing the header height to zero might be more likely to help.

  • Downloading existing iWeb site from server

    I have a site hosted on an independent (non-Apple) server and accessed via FTP. The site was designed in iWeb but I lost the version on my Mac when a HD failed. Is there any way to download the on-line version into iWeb, so that I can make amendments and update it?

    None of the above.
    iWeb is a one way street. You publish your pages but you cannot get them back into iWeb.
    Unless you have a copy/backup of the domain file, you'll have to start from scratch. Usually by copy/pasting the text and images from your published webpages.
    The domain.sites2 file is located at:
    ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
    Where ~ is your Home directory.

  • Import existing iWeb site to newer computer with iWeb (iLife) '09

    I have a website I developed on my older Mac using iWeb (iLife '06) and I want to transfer it to my current iMac (Snow Leopard + iLife '09) to use the better tools (for FTP uploading of multiple sites)... I transferred the folders from the original site to my "sites" folder but it doesn't show up when I launch iWeb. HELP!

    iWeb stores your website data in a domain located in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
    Transfer this file to the equivalent location on your new Mac and then launch iWeb.
    Your original file will be Domain.sites. iWeb '09 will then convert it to Domain.sites2.
    Make sure you have a backup of the domain file before doing any of this.

  • Still having problems forwarding a domain name to my iWeb site

    I'm still having some issues linking another domain name I own to my existing iWeb site. I forwarded the other domain through my GoDaddy account, but when I try it with www in front of the forwarding name, it directs me to my MobileMe home page. Without typing in the www, the forwarding works just fine.
    I must be doing something wrong, but not sure where to adjust things.
    Thanks,
    Steve Pressman

    Steve,
    It sounds like your CNAME may not be set up properly. You'll want to make sure your CNAME www is forwarding to @ which will be the host where the domain is forwarding currently without the www. Here is a link with some instructions (see the section on "Adding or Editing CNAME Records": http://x.co/RBCW

  • How to move iWeb site with missing Domain.sites file

    I've been asked to host a friend's iWeb site now that MobileMe is no longer an option.  The problem is that the MacBook it was created with is long gone and the only original files remaining are the image files for the site. No Domain.sites file.  They are also not sure which version of iWeb was used, if that even matters.  Initially I was thinking we could just access the existing site using ftp and go from there - upload the site to my hosting account and use Dreamweaver to maintain it, but everything I've read seems to point to 'Not gonna happen that way'.
    Is there a way to transfer an existing iWeb site hosted on MobileMe to a new hosting account and be able to work on it with another editor, all the while not having the original Domain.sites(2) file?
    Thanks much,
    Mark

    Quite a few people are moving to other drag and drop style editors like Sandvox and RapidWeaver although they aren't really any better - just more expensive.
    I advise people not to use iWeb for new sites and just to keep it going to update existing ones until they are defunct or rebuilt some other way.
    I quit using iWeb about a year ago due to the fact that it, and similar apps, can't create responsive designs for mobile devices although I did figure out a stop gap design for iPhones...

  • Changes in iWEB '08 are NOT making it to my published iWeb site

    Never had this issue with earlier versions. I run iWeb to make changes in pages that I have had up for months. iWeb says the changes are published. When I go here:
    http://web.mac.com/tyreeford/Site/Resume.html
    The changes are there.
    When I use Safari and the link:
    http://web.mac.com/tyreeford/iWeb/Site/Resume.html
    I get the old unchanged version.
    I have been using iWeb the whole time. Why did the URL change!? I didn't change it.
    Thanks,
    Ty Ford

    From '06 to '08 the way iWeb handles the publishing thus the url changed.
    web.mac.com/username/sitename/pagename.html is the new '08 url
    http://web.mac.com/tyreeford/Site/Resume.html
    you didn't change it, iWeb '08 changed it. Basically because the /iweb/ was useless and only made the url longer, looks much better now, don't you think so?

  • Clone an iWeb Site?

    I would like to use an existing iWeb site as a template for another site, which will replace the first one. I want to leave the first on up online, and re-design it using the cloned site, then publish the new one.
    But there is no "Save As" function in iWeb.
    Any suggestions?

    iWeb stores the website data in a Domain.sites2 file...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/iWeb-Tips.html
    Duplicate this file, give it another name or store it in a separate folder and then launch it in iWeb to create the content for the new site by double clicking the file.
    If you are using Lion, look further down the above page for info on how to open Domain files.

  • Updating iWeb site from more than one computer

    I have had an iMac for some time and use it to maintain an iWeb site. I just got a MacBook and would like to be able to publish to the site from either computer. How do I get my existing iWeb site into iWeb '08 on the new MacBook?

    If you plan on moving between the two Macs frequently try using a flash drive.

  • Password protect non .mac iweb site?

    I publish to a non .mac server (ie, I do not use .mac). I would like to password protect a subsite within my existing iweb site (the main site is public and the subsite is for members only) I know that the password protect feature in iweb is meant for .mac accounts but is there a way for me to work around that and password protect my subsite?

    You would have to check with your host. For example, GoDaddy handles it this way:
