"@mac" in web address

Does this have to be there? I've seen others websites in the forum lists that don't have it. How do you eliminate the "@mac" in your website name and still publish using iweb?
I am new at this and haven't yet published a web site---I guess I am assuming the @mac will be there---is this true?
Thank you!!!!!

Simply register your domain name "myname.com", then use "forwarding" to direct it to your real web address, and use "domain masking" so that your "myname.com" web address url remains at all times. With this, only "myname.com" will show for your website. However, keep in mind, that certain features of .mac won't work with the domain masking - such as iWeb's standard hit counter, and I believe the slideshow doesn't work well under domain masking as well.
If you need these, and having "myname.com" isn't such a big deal to have showing all the time. You can use "myname.com" to forward to your site, then once there your real .Mac domain will show up. Honestly, people really don't care what the domain url is, just as long as they get there.
To see how this works, check out mine, I use domain forwarding, but once there, my real .Mac domain shows.

  • Safari is not working on the Mac. Internet is fine, mail, App Store etc all working and connecting to Internet fine. Done the latest software update, still not working. When selecting a web address from bookmarks or typing in search bar, partial blue bar.

    Safari is not working on the Mac. Internet is fine. mail, App Store etc all working and connecting to Internet fine. Done the latest software update, still not working. When selecting a web address from bookmarks or typing in search bar, partial blue bar only and coloured wheel appears.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
    If extensions aren't causing the problem, see below.

  • Just got my Mac air and i would like to make a file to store some web addresses for my new business with rodan and fields and I can't do it. Made the file but i cant copy and paste the web addresses in the file to save them. Please help and thank you.

    Yes - well you have to make the file in a word processing Application.
    You could use TextEdit (it's free) Pages (words only), or Numbers (data base) (they are part of iWorks - and may or may not be free (included) on your machine.  You could use MS Office (it is not free) You could use any Open source word processor that plays well with Office (NeoOffice, StarOffice) they are free.
    That's how you create content and copy/paste URLS. Then you save the file to the desktop. If you are going to make more than one file... you make a folder on the desktop and save, or drag the file(s) into it.
    You attach it to your e-mail client which will compress it and e-mail it. An excellent reference is to use Help, from the menu bar, also from inside any application. From your library or book store the OS X for Dummies has a lot of useful information (you don't read it cover to cover but look up chapters about what you'd like to do)
    You can also make appointments at your local Apple store for individualized help (if a store is nearby)

  • What is my original .mac web address?

    I am no longer publishing my iWeb site to my personal web address on .mac
    My old site is still on the .mac server, but now I do not know how to access it. I've switch the DNS servers already. Is it possible to still access my pages on .mac? If so, what is the URL?
    Thank you,
    - Buck

    Webpages on dotMac have 2 adresses:
    http://homepage.mac.com/yourdotMacID/ (Old style HomePage)
    and
    http://web.mac.com/yourdotMacID/ (iWeb publishes here)
    Your pages can be accessed by mounting your iDisk.

  • In version 3.6 I can not open a website link from original page, I keep getting a new window that is blank and asking me to put in a web address. What has changed with the new version?

    When on a page if I click on a web link I get a new window that is blank and asks me enter a web address. This started happening with the new 3.6 version. It seems to have something to do with what I choose for the location in my privacy settings as the window changes with each setting but I still cannot get to the new site. Any ideas? I have no problem with this in IE and I have to keep opening IE when I encounter the problem on Firefox which is annoying.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Can not open a web address in word

  • What is the difference between https: and http: at the beginning of the web address? Does this effect security when looking onto bank accounts?

    New to foxfire, and not very computer savvy. When enter search for bank account noticed the the web address came up with a http: rather than an https: as it normally does when I search from safari on MAC, or even at my PC at work. Not sure what the difference is but if it is a security thing than foxfire is no good for my use.

    In Firefox 4 and later you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions.<br />
    The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server.<br />
    So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL.<br />
    The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar.<br />

  • How do I display, copy, and paste a web address from an open Safari window please?

    I'm new to Mac and Safari. 
    I'm used to being able to just cut and paste a web address from a page I'm on into a discussion, but I don't see an address bar to copy from.
    I'm sure it is there somewhere, which toolbar or keyboard shortcut am I missing, please?
    Gordon_M

    Hello:
    While Safari is open, go to the menu bar>view.  Select "customize toolbar."  You may use the default, or customize it to yoru liking.
    Then when you wish to copy an address, you simply click on the favicon and go to edit>copy.

  • How can I get back the space to type in web addresses when I click on safari.  it seems to have gone away??

    I am trying to find out how to get back the space  up top of window that appears when I click on safari.  I used to be able to type in web addresses and go to places but somehow I lost the space which was just above or just below gray space that show apple,  store,  mac,  ipod etc.  I am  78 & sometimes get confused.  any hep would be greatly appreciated.  I know I had my arrow on somewhere near that space and heard a sound and when I looked back at my puter that space was gone.  ???    any ideas,, Annette l

    When Safari is active, in the menu bar at the top of the screen, there's a menu labeled View. From that menu, select Show Toolbar. It's right at the top.

  • Upgraded from iWeb 06 to 08, and now web address and links don't work

    Hi there,
    I recently had the hard drive of my computer replaced and the Mac shop automatically upgraded iWeb 06 to iWeb 08, without asking me (and they also upgraded iPhoto)... I didn't think anything of it and went home. The next time I tried to update my website in iWeb I was asked a question that went something like did I want to upgrade or change or did I want to go ahead or something? I foolishly just said yes, whatever, and did my updates to my website. Then I used Transmit to upload my website files to my web site host. The web pages themselves still all look fine in Firefox, but there is one massive problem: when I type in my web address, which is www.*****.com, in Firefox, I'm told: "404 Not Found - The requested URL /Site/Home.html was not found on this server". When this happens, I've noticed that the www.****.com that I typed into the address bar now has changed to http://www.******.com/Site/Home.html.... If I delete the "/Site" bit from this new "address" my website comes up! If I then click on the link The Albadukes e.g., this page comes up fine. I then click on Links, and this page also opens up fine. However, if I then try to go back to the page called The Albadukes, it doesn't open! Instead, I get the 404 Not Found message again. Here, I've noticed that the writing in the web address box of the browser has changed from "http://www.***.com/The_Albadukes.html" (which works) to http://www.****.com/The Albadukes.html" (i.e. with a space between "The" and "Albadukes" - doesn't work...). If I remove the space and instead add an underscore, then the page opens! This kind of thing happens in different directions between different pages within my website.

    I realise the problems when upgrading to 08 and I wish it had never happened, but it did. So my question is: does anyone know if these link and web address problems can be solved, or should I just accept that the problems are due to the upgrade and instead just recreate my website in 08 (and hope that 08 will work OK on my computer...)? I am very very grateful for any help!!
    Many many thanks,
    Sofie

    Hmm, interestingly enough it works on my MacBook fine...just a lot slower but that's because of ram size. I cannot figure out what's the problem with it on my iMac though.
    I've gone into Quicktime and deleted any divx files associated with that and still nothing.

  • Icloud web address redirects to setup. Why and how to fix?

    Hello.  My problem is that any  browser on my first generation IPad takes here when I type in my me.com, icloud.com, mac.com address:
    https://www.icloud.com/ipad_welcome/
    Same in Safari, Chrome, Atom.....
    Note that I am not talking about the Mail app on either IPad or the Mac.
    I just wanted to go to the web version, as I have in the past on public machines and on my Mac.
    On my Mac, I get to icloud.com and can see all the things normally there, such as Calendars, Mail, Pages, etc.
    1. On both the IPad and Mac, I have Icloud enabled.
    The  setting I use for mail ( in the apps themselves) is me.com on the Mac and mac.com on the IPad, I think.
    2.Am I correct that regardless of the app settings or Icloud being enabled, the web address SHOULD appear? After all, it has in the past on public computers.
    3. If so, it is unclear why only my IPad and not my Mac won't take me to the web address?  I mean to check a public machine this week to confirm.
    4. Regardless what the answer is, can anyone explain how turning on icloud for mail makes any difference if I am using imap?  I can see syncing other things suxh as Calendar, but in mail IMAP seems to obviate the need for syncing.
    (Actually, since updating to Mavericks, I beleive my Mac app stopped syncing with my Ipad and web icloud versions. Sme happened many moons ago.  Until then, Mac and Ipad resident calendar programs, as well as icloud version, were the same.)
    thanks
    PS
    (modified)
    I just checked my apple id on the Ipad and it ia set for [email protected] If I sign in at icloud, i see me.com and icloud.com are listed as alternative addresses. with mac.com being primary.

    thank yo snozdop...did'nt know that. thanks.  as to the reason to do it...with 6 different email addresses in my mail app, when away i want to be extra careful and send from the correct one.  many a time i have sent from something other than the mac address.
    thanks.
    JimHDK
    thanks for the tip. If that works with the web version (snozdop implies it may not) great.
    btw, can anyone help explain the difference between syncing in icloud with mail and with imap. imap seems more than enough.

  • When I open Firefox, there is no place to type in a web address! What happened to it?

    When I open Firefox, the tab to type in the web address is not there, nor anywhere else--Where did it go?

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
    You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.<br />

  • Firefox doesn't let me copy the web address from the address bar using the context menu with second button in mouse or trackpad

    Hello!
    I write to report a problem I have with the new update v35 and v35.0.1 Firefox on address bar
    With the new version 35 of Firefox on Mac OSX Yosemite, clicking directly with the right mouse button in the address bar to copy the web address, context menu NOT allowed to copy the link, it shaded in gray, inactive ... you have to click on another browser free zone before returning to click a second time and be able to copy the link from the context menu
    I mean, with the first right click in the address bar context menu that appears don't allow me to copy the link directly, you have to click on another area and then clicking again with the right mouse button in the address bar to copy the web address (happens to all pages)
    I tried to open Firefox with inactive complements and plugins, and reset Firefox to first time use (like the first install) and the problem is here again... With or without complements and plugins the problem is here
    This happens before and then when I format my computer
    Here I put a screenshot that explains the problem better than my words

    I don't have any icon addons only have 2 plugins, quicktime (integrated in OS) and adobe Flash, updated both
    Before I format my Mac, I upgraded Firefox to v35 and here came this error
    Then I format my Mac after days, by subjects of hard disk space, etc... when I install Firefox 35 (new install) the problem was here again
    I tried to Open Firefox with disabled Add-ons, and Reset Firefox to an install version, but the problem is here always

  • Can't disable Web Address Auto-complete in Safari nor Firefox

    Hi there,
    I am trying to disable the web address auto-complete in order to access my Intranet Server. I tried configuration inside Web Browser (firefox) but doesn't work. Seems to be system configuration since is the same with Safari. If I enter the address http://myserver:8080 always autocompletes to http://www.myserver.com:8080 and can't access the Intranet web server...
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    Pepe
    Mac OSX 10.6.2

    Safari and Firefox, both have a configuration utility to solve this. In Firefox, writing about:config in the address bar and look for the features that contains the prefix www and the suffix .com, clear those two fields and that's it.
    So, the problem was browser related, not system related.
    Thanks
