.mac required for iWeb publishing?

I just need to confirm that I do not need to renew my subscripion to .mac to continue using iWeb. I think I'd rather upgrade my iWeb software and continue publishing to my other host service. This is possible, yes?
Thanks so much.

Now that Apple has made it very difficult to upload more than one site to .Mac you are probably better off staying with your commercial hosting service.
Although one click publishing is very easy and convenient, if you want the average surfer to stop by and look at your site you will have to optimize it for faster download. This means that you have to publish to a folder first even if you are using .Mac. The average surfer is not going to wait more than a very few seconds for your page to download so optimizing is more or less essential.
The application I use, Web Site Maestro, now optimizes JPEGs and the difference is VERY noticeable on a page with a lot of photos.
.Mac is fine and convenient for personal websites but I would not consider using it for business or commercial sites. I shouldn't think Apple ever intended it to be used for this purpose.

    what will be the new alternatives for iWeb publishing,  Idisk & photo gallery ?

    Thanks for the reply that there will be 3rd party support.
    One of the main reasons why I went from PC to Mac was because of all these cool features.
    Am dissapointed to see them leave.  ( Iweb, Photogallery, Idisk... )

  • MAC Requirements for iCLOUD

    Among the different requirements that allow a MAC to be found in case of lost, is:
    “The Mac system must have a local OS X Recovery partition.”
    Can you please tell me why?
    Thank you

    Your Mac does not need a recorvery partition in order to be found via "Find My Mac"? The recovery partition is just for re-installing OS X. By the way here a the Mac requirements for iCloud: https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759

  • Workaround for iWeb publishing each & every single file ?

    It's a real drag that iWeb publishes each and every single file to .mac every time I correct a comma somewhere. My site* is about 20 MBs, and I've been waiting for half an hour now to continue working with iWeb. But it's still uploading... uploading... uploading... Other servers are faster than .mac, but the problem is the same.
    Has anyone found a workaround for this nuisance??? Some method to export & sync only altered files? (Or were iWeb authors as bright as to make it change all files, regardless if the user changed only a comma?)
    Thanks a lot

    Hi Peter
    iWeb isnt actually uploading every page, unless you have made a change to that page, yes a comma will do it, also any changes to the navigation bar efffect all pages that the bar is on. WHat you see is iWeb going through and checking to see whether there are any changes, then if there are the page gets uploaded, if not it moves on to the next page.
    I try to publish often so as not to slow things down, my site is well over 20MB and I normally only wait a few minues. This is something that I am prepared to do for the convenience of one click publishing. I am currently uploading a 2.5MB site via ftp to another server, and it still takes a while

    Hi all

    From this i understood that there is no problem with the connection but some how it is not printing.
    Any help will be appreciated as i am having tough time figuring out this.
    Thanks

    You need about 40 GB total. Also make sure that your /tmp and /var/tmp have about 2GB free in them, otherwise the installation will fail. (I can't remember the exact numbers, though.)
    I agree, the system requirements do not exist anywere in any straightforward documentation. You need to read at least three different documents to piece together the requirements, and the results will still be incomplete.

  • Is there a movie size limit for iWeb published in MobileMe?

    I'm having trouble creating a movie page in iWeb. There's an error when I try to publish it to MobileMe.
    Is there a movie size limit? The video is 20 MB.

    I don't know what the limit is but iWeb often indicates 10MB or less is preferred. There are alternatives to adding larger movies to a web page that don't require the movie to load until the play button is selected. See this demo page for one method: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. A demo page with 7 movie files using this method can see here: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes.
    This second page has the other method. It is a little more involved but works nicely. Again, the move doesn't have to load until the play button is selected. It's the movie here: QT Movies via Export for Web in QT Player.

  • Any new requirements for LS publish wizard in VS2013 update 4?

    Hi!
    Since I have some troubles when trying to publish my upgraded app (SL Desktop OOB) to win2012 server IIS, and customer service of that specific provider couldn't help, I'm gonna try to ask here.. 
    So i have standard cPanel web interface, and in remote publish settings I allowed to use remote publishing.. now when I try to publish directly from LS I'm getting this error:
    Could not complete an operation with the specified provider ("content path")
    when connecting using the web management service.
    This can occur if the server administrator has not authorized the user for
    this operation.
    but after contacting their customer service they said that they gave me that permission, and also they CAN connect to specific server with same settings BUT from VS2012.. so I'm now buffled and don't know what to do.. I can manually import package to that
    server (using remote IIS manager which allows me to connect and to work on their server with SAME SETTINGS which are used in VS2013 LS publish wizard), but boy, I'm loosing twice more time just to do that procedure when importing package..
    any ideas? maybe its some hotfix around, something to install on their sever or my machine (just to notice that I was trying to publish from 2 different machines but with same VS2013 versions installed)..
    tnx in advance..

  • Mac requirements for Photoshop/Illustrator

    This probably gets asked Ad Nauseum, but we're PC users who now need a new computer and have decided to go to a Mac, with the principle purpose of working with Web Premium CS5, in particular Photoshop and Illustrator.
    We want something robust enough to work with these programs at a better than minimum performance level, especially with 3D rendering involved.
    So my question is if the following specs for the New iMac at $1699 CAD will be sufficient. My concern might be the 512MB for the Graphics controller ... and how much better is 3.1 Ghz for the Processor ?
    27-inch: 2.7GHz
    2.7GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
    2560 x 1440 resolution
    4GB (two 2GB) memory
    1TB hard drive1
    AMD Radeon HD 6770M with 512MB
    Thanks!

    3.1 is what, 10% faster than 2.7?  It's pretty much that straight up when looking at the same processor, isn't it?
    Illustrator, up to CS5 anyway, could care less about your graphics card.  CS6 is rumored to be 64 bit and as such might also have been written to take advantage of modern things like graphics cards.
    RAM - Up to CS5, about 2gb was all Illustrator could use itself so beyond that, you're only helping multitasking, (which is important to a degree).  Pshop will take whatever you give it.  Not sure about inDesign and the others.  I think ID uses more, but I'm not sure.  CS6 though, if it is 64bit, will use all you give it (which will be awesome)
    Blah, blah, realworld:  I work at home now, on my 23" iMac 3.06 with 6gigs of ram, and it is perfectly fine 90% of the time.  The other 10%, when I'm working with bigger files in Illus., (like packaging for a pair of stilts the other day) it can get a little slow, but I don't think it's much slower than the monster Mac Pro I had when I was working in the office.  My feeling is that with CS6 that might make a bigger difference, but CS5 and below are crippled more by the software than any hardware you can throw at them these days.

  • Mac required for upload to appstore?

    Is a Mac ultimately required to upload an app to the iOs appstore?
    App built, all hoops in iOs provisioning and iTunes Connect passed through  but one:   Uploading the binary!

    If all your certificates and provisioning profiles are in order its a really fast process, basically as fast as you can upload, although there is one crazy step you have to go through and thats changing your .ipa file name to a .zip then extracting that inside that extracted folder find the .app file (might be .ipa) and then zip that to upload. Just zipping your finished .ipa will not work even if everything is right. This wasted a good few hours of my life before I found this out.

  • Can iWeb publish to NOT .Mac?

    Hi All -
    I'm not a .Mac subscriber. I don't really have a need for it, but I like the look of iWeb. I'd like to use it to publish some stuff, especially blogs and podcasts, but to my own website.
    Can it be done, or is this strcitly as .Mac tool?
    -Tom

    Thomas,
    After poking around some of the other messgae boards, and the requirements for iWeb, it does appear that this app can be used without .Mac. I am sure some of the features will be hindered without the inclusion of .Mac but I do believe it will work.
    For example, I use iPhoto for my pictures, and I export them to a seperate directory to be included on a web site. iPhoto does have an "Export to Web" feature which creates the thumbnails, and the HTML, etc.. to display the photo album on a web page. It doesn't look as nice as .Mac, but it does work. And once it's exported, it can be modified manually, if your level of expertise allows for that.
    I am fairly confident that most of the features, including themes will work outside of .Mac. If not, I'm sure there will be 3rd party developers with plugins available shortly.
    Good Luck!
    Mike

  • Minimum Mac G5 for HDV print to tape

    Hi all,
    I've been trying to print to tape my first HDV timeline. The error message reads, "Unable to perform print to video operation for HDV as RT Extreme is not supported. Improved CPU Speed and/or RAM needed to enable RT Extreme and HDV Print to Video".
    So my questions are, is there any way to turn off RT Extreme? Is my iMac G5 2.0 ghz, 512mb ram insufficient for this operation? Perhaps boosting the ram could eleviate this issue? Does anyone know the minimum Mac requirement for outputting from FCP5.
    On a side note, I was able to export the clip, the reimport it into iMovie HD, but I am having an issue with a black bar on the left of the screen in iMovie which I have also posted on that board looking for answers....

    Try turning on Safe in the RT settings in the top left corner of the Timeline Window.
    And render everything.

  • .mac and iWeb Publishing

    Recently I subscribed a .mac trial account because I wanted to try iWeb and iPhoto 6 Photocasting.
    When I publish a webpage from iWeb to .Mac, it'll pop up the login window, asking me to login. I clicked the login button and i typed my .mac account information. I tried to publish again and the same thing happens (.Mac account said my password is valid)
    When I select an album and share by photocasting in iPhoto, it says I haven't set up my account (again, I input info. in my .mac settings already).
    What's going on? Trial account won't work with iLife?
    But I can use my iDisk... that's so weird...
    What's wrong?
    GummyDancer
    (I posted this in both iWeb, iPhoto and .Mac sections. Posted on .Mac section about 2 weeks ago)

    This is strange. During the slow run of the iWeb publish, I pulled up network tools and did a traceroute. It very slowly did its thing and came up with the a route to idisk.mac.com. Shortly thereafter, iWeb suddenly started uploading at a reasonable (for iWeb) speed. Any idea if this could be related to my running of traceroute?
