.Mac pages to iWeb

I came across a description somewhere of converting .Mac pages to iWeb pages. It goes on to say that any photos would benefit from the superior slideshow features of iWeb. However I cannot remember where I have seen it.
The only reference I can see to .Mac now is that you cannot edit .Mac pages with iWeb.
Has anybody seen the above reference or got any suggestions on converting .Mac pages to iWeb pages?
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Jim

Well, I don't think there is a way to convert .Mac Homepage pages into iWeb sites. The bad news is that there currently isn't even support in iWeb to import already published iWeb pages back into editable form by iWeb. So the long and short of it all is that you would have to republish your photo galleries using iWeb in order to take advantage of the "fancier" slideshow feature.
A lot of people who have been using Homepage up till now choose to make links so that visitors can move between the "old" Homepage site and the new iWeb site instead of republishing everything. There's a pretty good tutorial written by our very own willG4pb that walks you through establishing this link between .Mac and iWeb...

Check it out and see if it might be an option for you.

  • Using existing .Mac pages in iWeb to personal domain

    I've tried to find a way to take my existing .Mac pages and move them to my new domain. I made these pages way back when .Mac first started. Does anyone know if it's possible to bring in your existing .Mac pages, then change them to a personal domain?
    Message was edited by: Pup

    Can't be done, as iWeb cannot import anything.
    If you have a MobileMe account, then it should be possible to move your homepage and place it in the Sites folder on your iDisk.

  • Can I Transfer Dot Mac Pages to iWeb?

    Do any of you know if it is possible to take web pages I created using the online templates with Dot Mac (http://homepage.mac.com/bingalls) and move them into iWeb for editing?
    My plan will be to move all of my pages to my own domain but people are used to seeing some pages as they are and I would like to maintain the look and also not have to redo the entire pages such as http://homepage.mac.com/bingalls/nasawork/Menu40.html
    I searched discussions and help files and could not find documentation.
    Thank you for your help!

    if it is possible to take web pages I created using the online templates with Dot Mac and move them into iWeb for editing?
    No. iWeb cannot open or edit .html.

  • Iweb missing photo pages that exist on my .mac page...  can I get em back?

    recently upgraded to iWeb 09.... I published a photo page from iPhoto, and all went well - however, now I'm ready to publish another new one, and I notice that what exists on the .mac site has about 5 more entries than my local set as seen in iWeb ... I'm afraid if I publish again, those 5 will disappear forever... how can I get those entries back into iWeb on my mac? is there a way to make the .mac content sync with my macbook?
    thanks!
    HELP!

    I'm just unclear on how my local copy of the website on my macbook is different from the one on .Mac - and how to sync them back up.
    You can't sync them back up. There is a iWeb project file named "Domain" on your mac that has the info for your iWeb project. Then there is the published files that are on .mac for your published site. There is no way to convert your published site files back into an iWeb project file. You have to rebuild your lost pages in iWeb. Hopefully you are now clear about the difference between iWeb project file and iWeb published files in that you can not turn iWeb published files into an iWeb project file.

  • Missing pages when iWeb editing on two different Macs

    Hi
    I have an ibook and today I designed a simple iWeb page and uploaded it from work (it really is very simple).
    When I came home is used my iMac to run iWeb (don't worry I have a family/5 machine licence) but nothing came up..
    Is there no way to edit the same page and more importantly see the page in iWebs site organiser if the sites/pages are produced on different macs?

    Graham,
    In order to be able to edit on more than one Mac, you will need to copy the Domain file that resides in ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb. That Domain file contains all the elements of all of your sites that you have done in iWeb. It's not accessible online via .Mac like when using Homepage. So if you make changes from computer A, you'll need to copy that file to computer B before being able to edit the site. Then you will need to copy that file back to computer A so you have the latest version of your site.
    This makes being able to edit ones sites from multiple computers a pain in the rear. I tried it today by copying the Domain package from my home computer to the G5 I use at work. I made one small change to the site and published it. However, I could not get the changed page to show. The old page kept coming up. I duplicated the change once I was back home and published. Everything was fine. I don't know what the problem was but if it is a consistent problem, it will make updating from multiple computers go from being a pain to being impossible.

  • Do I need to insert meta tags on domain if it redirects to web.mac page?

    Hi,
    I've set up a domain (http://www.blossomsolutions.ca) with Internic.ca in Canada and filled out a very easy form to redirect to http://web.mac.com/blossomsolutions. Through this excellent forum I learned how to insert meta tags into all my pages on the web.mac site using text edit successfully.
    Now, I'm wondering, will search engines find me if I have "no code" or meta tags at www.blossomsolutions.ca? Internic is only "redirecting" my URL not hosting it. It costs more money if they "host" my domain and I wouldn't have a clue how to set up an index.html page anyway for this domain. Even if I got someone to do this can you redirect an index.html page from blossomsolutions.ca to a web.mac.com page? i.e. does the domain code need to be empty in order for it to redirect?
    Thanks to anyone who can help me with this.
    Dazed and confused,

    Hello Kathleen,
    Welcome to the forum. You're site looks very clean and elegant.
    The domain name you purchased (http://www.blossomsolutions.ca/) is serving as a redirecting page to your iWeb generated web page. The answer to whether or not search engines will find you is both yes and no. Search engines use programs called "spiders" that find pages through links and trace out web pages.
    Given some time, sites like Google and MSN will likely find you website (and if you put meta tags in it will display that info in the search engine). But if you are like most iWeb users (myself included) you are impatient for your site to be picked up in search engines. Which is fine, since several search engines provide the means for you to submit your URL. Read this post for more information. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3905977&#3905977
    Looks like you may have already submitted your .mac page.
    Another handy tip for looking up what information a search engine posses on your site is to type "site:" followed by the web address you wish to look up into a search engine. If the search engine has any of the pages to your site it will display them with the meta data they posses. Your site info can be found here. http://www.google.com/search?q=site:http://web.mac.com/blossomsolutions
    I checked your .ca address and google didn't come up with anything.
    Internic.ca should provide you with the means to apply a little bit of a description to your web address. Apart from that, you can't really add any meta data to the domain name.
    Unfortunately even when you get both web addresses picked up by search engines it won't associate them together. They may come up near each other in searches. But the search engine will see them as entirely different sites.
    You could host your site at the domain name if you chose to. The process of publishing is one click like to .mac. But you "Publish to a Folder" and then upload the complete page to the domain name. Its more difficult and cost more (if you chose to retain your .mac account) but it would give you better search engine rankings for your name.
    —"It costs more money if they "host" my domain and I wouldn't have a clue how to set up an index.html page anyway for this domain. Even if I got someone to do this can you redirect an index.html page from blossomsolutions.ca to a web.mac.com page? i.e. does the domain code need to be empty in order for it to redirect?"
    It isn't really worth it have them host your domain name only to put an index.html that redirects to your .mac. Thats basically what the domain forwarding is doing (minus a little bit of info).
    My advice is to keep things how you have them. But, just make sure you get the domain submitted to search engines.
    Hope this wasn't to long or confusing.

  • Aperture web gallery - how to link back to main page from iWeb?

    Okay, this may be simple, but I can't figure it out.
    I created and uploaded a few web pages with iWeb to my dot.Mac account (web.mac.com/f8lee50) just to get a feel for things. I then created a web gallery with Aperture and uploaded it - naturally Aperture generated a URL for the gallery, which I set up as a link on my "Photos from Hawaii" page (the link is the word 'this' in the second paragraph, if you wawnt to look).
    Okay, so this gets me from the "photos from Hawaii" page to the gallery, and within the gallery I can jump to the various images etc. But how does one navigate back to the "Photos from Hawaii" page from whence they came? Is there some sort of smart link that can be inserted (by Aperture?) that will send the viewer back to the main homepage? Or are the Aperture galleries essentially dead ends?

    Richard, thanks for responding - I'll check that tutorial.
    And thank you for the kind words, me100finn. I have not played with any variables as far as layout on the gallery (I did a bunch of stuff with the books, but the web gallery seems far less flexible) so I cannot answer your wuestion about the gray shadows.
    Steve, thank you for the additional clarification (and the hint about spaces in URLs) - I guess what this all boils down to is that the web galleries from Aperture are not all that useful when they are meant to be a part of a bigger overall site. I'm not sure of what you meant when you say they have little forward or backward navigation in them - at least you can click on a thumbnail to get to an image, click next or previous or the grid to get back to the thumbnail galery. But, 'twould seem that hand coding HTML pages (the very thing I was hoping to avoid) is the only way to really integrate them. Given that, I gues the better approach will be just to use iWeb to load the images anyway.
    Well, folks, thank you all for your answers. Until I do a re-do, I guess the back button is the way to go (which, for the record, I did sorta figure out myself

  • Open previously created iWeb pages in iWeb

    Hello,
    I successfully created a series of simple Web pages using iWeb and would like to load my first Web page to make some changes. However, I do not see "Open..." or some other option in iWeb that would allow me to load iWeb created Web page in iWeb.

  • How can I add a podcast episode to an existing web page using iWeb?

    How can I add an episode to an existing web page using iWeb?
    I could probably figure this out but I am afraid if I make changes to the site and re-upload it to the podcast area I will have just doubled it. I see them repeated from time to time.
    What is the proper protocal? Thanks

    Hi apple-owner,
    Method 1.
    To create this scatter-plot, I selected the whole of Columns A and B. (Shift click on the Column reference tabs).
    The plot ignores blank rows, but they are "ready" for new data:
    Method 2
    If you did not select whole columns, you can extend the "active" rows. Rows 1-5 selected:
    Add more data rows and drag the fill handle (small white circle, bottom right) down

  • Accessing My Old Page With iWeb

    I have put up a website using iWeb on a .mac account::
    web.mac.com/jupiterspaceport
    But I a while back had to clear my disk and re-install the whole system.
    Ever since then I cannot get back to my page using iWeb. For when I start it up
    the program asks me to create a new page, and does not remember my old page
    that is already published.
    How do I re-access my old web-page using iWeb?

    Hello read this
    specifically
    All the information iWeb needs to create your websites is in one file known as the Domain file. The Domain file's default location is ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb (the tilde (~) represents your home directory) If no Domain file exists, you will be prompted to create a new site.
    Your iWeb project is gone! You have to rebuild your site. Visiting your website online and copying/pasting elements into iWeb may help to rebuild your site a little faster.

  • .mac vs mobileme iweb 2.0.4

    Help??? I finally got everything working again on iweb with my site, and now with the new update, people can't access the same pages on my webpage. Apple said that the web.mac.com would still work, but it looks like this is not the case. All of my blogs and podcasts are not accessible from the .mac page. Is anyone else having the same issues?
    I just got finished telling everyone the new web address from the last mishap. I really hope this isn't going to be the case again.

    web.mac.com definitely still works at least for me (as well as my personal domain).
    After updating to 2.0.4, did you "Publish All to MobileMe"? Do that and see if your issues clear up.

  • Changing .mac account in iWeb '08

    I am trying to publish a web page with iWeb '08 and it publishes to my wrong .mac account. How can I change it so it will publish to the correct .mac account?

    Is there anyway to have to accounts on the same mac without always changing the system preferences???
    Yes, by setting up different user accounts on your machine. Each can have its .Mac preferences permanently set to whatever is correct for that user, and you can run iWeb from whichever account you want to be working on the site for.

  • One .Mac account, 2 iWeb Sites, 2 Computers.

    Ok, I know a lot of questions have been asked about how to manage multiple sites, but I can't seem to find any information about 2 people sharing one .Mac account.
    My husband and I share a .Mac account. We each have our own Apple laptops. We each want our own iWeb site.
    Everytime I create a site, it takes over the one that he already created from HIS computer, and vice versa.
    There doesn't seem to be a way for both of us to have our own sites on one account from 2 separate computers. SO FRUSTRATING.
    Any help would be great, and try to leave as much technical jargon out of it. I'm a self-proclaimed idiot when it comes to computers.
    Thanks, everyone.
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Neisha,
    Another way to achieve what mp is talking about is for you and your husband to each create a one page "site" in iWeb and move it to the top of your site organizer. Put links (image or text) on that page to direct those who visit your short url to the correct site. I would recommend that you each have slightly different names for this site and page.
    You can see an example of what I'm talking about http://web.mac.com/hoovmoss/iWeb/" target="_blank">here.
    If you plan on building additional sites and splitting the domain files on one or more of the laptops to do it, though, you are probably better off using the method that mp suggested above.
    I've been keeping a sites index "site" at the top of each domain file (I have one for each site on the index page), but I'm beginning to find that inconvenient, as I plan on adding at least one more site. Someday soon I'll create a domain file containing only a sites index and then manually replace the index.html file in my idisk as necessary to keep the site index linked to my short url.
    If this is more confusing than helpful, let me know and I'll see if I can be a little clearer.

  • Inserting a guestbook page in iweb

    Ok...so I'm not quite sure how this works but...I was wondering if it is at all possible to make a guestbook page in iweb? It seems strange that there isnt a template for a guestbook? someone please help!!
    Karlyn
    macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Varkgirl's suggestions will get you a much spiffier looking guestbook. But if you don't want to do any post-publishing and just want to give guests a chance to leave a comment, you can use the blog template. Make one simple entry, welcoming your guests and instructing them to click the "comment" link to leave a message.
    There are two caveats to this:
    1) it only works if you are publishing to .mac, as the comments feature is one of the ".mac only" features. (There are post-publishing options to get around this with another host, but then you might as well use the process Varkgirl suggested)
    2) when you do a "publish all to .mac," previous comments will disappear.

    Joomla is open source and works on the same basis as Drupal. The idea is that you don't download it to your computer, but rather you purchase hosting with a host that supports open source like Joomla and Drupal and you then load it on your server directly from your host and create your site from there.
    If you want to add pages created with iWeb to your existing Joomla site, then place a link to the other pages in your Joomla site and then create pages in iWeb, publish to a folder and then upload to your server. Place the iWeb files into your root folder so that they are visible and then the link to the pages from your Joomla site should work.
