.mac site and flash

Ok, I am not very web literate, so please forgive my ignorance. I've searched through the forums and don't think I saw an answer for this, so here's my question...
I have had someone build me a website that is done completely in flash. Am I able to get that site up in place of the site I have currently up that I made in Iweb? If its possible, how do I do it?
Thanks in advance!

It is possible to upload a site build in another programme to a MobileMe account, but in this case, you may need to 'drag and drop' the site folders directly to your iDisk, so you would need to mount it on your desktop and then drag and site folders to the Web/Sites folder on your iDisk.
iWeb does not support ftp, but does support webdav, which is included with Dreamweaver. Do you know if Adobe Flash has it? If so, then you can use WebDav to upload to iDisk.me.com/Web/Sites/Site Folder.
Mostly, flash sites take a little longer to load because of their complexity, so MobileMe in this case, would probably not be a good host for your site. MMe is not know for its speed and even people who publish iWeb sites to MMe complain about download time. If you have a domain name, then I would strongly urge you to purchase a hosting package to go with your domain. Get a simple package from GoDaddy - the Linux option is better. You do not need to pay a fortune for it and the server speed will be a lot better for a flash site.
My advice, don't host a flash site on MMe, it is not worth it. Get a proper professional hosting package from a hosting company such as GoDaddy. Sure you won't regret doing this in the end.

  • .Mac sites and PC?

    Help! I have published my website made with iWeb to http://www.slowspain.es using forwarding. However since yesterday it doesn't load on PC- only the header and nav bars appear. I really need to resolve this problem as the site is for my new business - language holidays; the summer months are all important and I'm desperate...plus all these PC users are telling me that they knew the .Mac route wouldn't work....

    The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a leter version installed.

  • Is it possible to publish one site to mac site and another site to a school

    I have an "About me" page which I wish students to have access to - but I don't want them to have access to the rest of my site - can I publish either just the "about me" page to a different school server or can I create a new site with just an about me page and publish that site to my school server and my personal site to mac site?

    Yes.
    The easiest way is to use separate domain.sites2 files. There are several sites that offer instructions for doing this. One is Apnewbie's Site Separation help page.

  • Can't log in to Mac site and store

    I am so frustrated and also angry. Every time I go to the Mac or Apple website it says my password is wrong. So -- every single time -- I have to hit 'forgot password' and then get email and then make up password and then get on the site. Then, if I try to go back to Mac site the next time, the password does not work.... even if I go back 5 minutes later.... or next day. So I always have to make up new password and I get to visit the site -- once. And here I am trying to buy something and spend lots of money and Mac makes it nearly impossible to access its site... or Mac Store. So, after I post this message and log out I will not be able to access the site again unless and until I go thru those pain-in-the-butt steps.

    I don't know honestly if I have cookies on. But I can say that I go to lots of sites -- daily -- where I need a password and it's never an issue. This includes online stores, forums, my bank, etc.... I just type in password and I'm there. But with Mac, no-go. I have to start anew and make up new password every single time.

  • Older mac intel and flash player

    I have an old desktop still sporting 10.5.8. I cannot seem to get my flash player upgraded enough to use it. Was given this link:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
    But when I pull it up, all I get is a black screen. Any takers out there for solving my problem. Would greatly appreciate it.

    Flash Player 10.3.183.90
    Mac OS X 10.5
    •Flash Player 10.3.183.90 (Mac only) (24.4 MB)
    This may be the correct one, since it does not say Mac OS X 10.4+ PPC
    While I have an Intel-Mac running OS X 10.5.8, and last version supported
    Flash from Adobe archive, I don't recollect which one. I did save the .zip.
    Also have three PPC Macs running OS X 10.5.8 with a patched adobe flash
    using the 11.x method of extracting part of a newer Flash (still vintage) to
    trick sites into seeing it as a later than Flash 10.1.

    Does the Mac Mini support a Flash Player?

    Yes. Mac OS X 10.7 doesn't include Flash but is compatible with it.

  • Mac Mini and Internet Problems

    According to my re-install disks, which there are 2...I can put in 0S-9 or OSX 10.3.7. I believe currently that I am running the OSX 10.3.7. By the way, please be patient with me, I am relatively new to Macs. Anyway, this morning the internet was working perfectly. This afternoon, when I clicked on my Safari Icon, the Yahoo homepage will load about 75% and then it closes and I get an error message. I also sometimes use Netscape for ebay listings and it is doing the same thing. I called my ISP and my cable modem seems to be sending proper signals and he said it sounds like a computer issue. Through Internet explorer I am able to get on the Mac site and leave a post but this is far as I can go. Any help will be appreciated!
    God Bless!!!

    The Mac Mini (probably) won't boot natively to OS 9. The OS 9 disks are for what's called Classic Mode. It's for backwards compatibility for those of us who have older software we still want to run; it basically runs OS 9 within OS X. Since you are new to Macs, running old applications is probably not an issue for you, and you will save around 300 MB or so by not installing it.
    About your network problem:
    +Not all browsers and webpages are built to the same set of standards. Webpages built with Microsoft software tend to be especially notorious about not working with anything other than IE, but IE-Mac isn't up to the universal standards. I usually run Safari, but I have 4 browsers installed: Safari, Firefox (tends to be the most compatible, but I like Safari's interface better), IE, and Netscape (I use it for building simple html).
    +Sometimes weird problems are cause when the file permissions are messed up. Go to the folder /Applications/Utilities and run the application Disk Utility, then find the button that says "Repair Permissions" and click it.
    +Use the Software Update utility and download the latest updates. First download the 10.3.9 update all by itself, then any Security Updates, then others. You will be stuck rebooting more than once, so when you do this, make sure you have time to sit in front of your computer for awhile.

  • Anyone using 4.0 Beta 5 on MAC and noticing Adobe Flash creating boxes when moving away from site where flash is used?

    Just upgraded to FF 4.0 beta 5 - noticing that when I visit a new page that uses Flash, I navigate away or to other sites and the box that Flash used is blanked out and super-imposes itself over the page. That means when I move from the flash page, the only thing I can do it close the browser and reopen.
    Yes, I am using 10.1 (or whatever the latest flash is for my MAC - that also has all its updates). Reverted back to FF 4.0 beta 4 and NO PROBLEM using the older beta version. HELP.

    That sounds like a known problem on OS X. From the known issues section of the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/4.0b5/releasenotes/ Firefox 4 Beta 5 Release Notes]
    "Plugin content can be rendered incorrectly leaving blank white squares over web content. Scrolling or switching tabs will often fix the problem, although sometimes you must close the tab which contains that plugin content (see [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592453 bug 592453])"
    This should be fixed in the next beta.

  • Please help! We got a used Mac Mini and we don't have the former owner's password, so we can't install anything like flash player.  Does anyone know how to get around this?

    Please help! We got a used Mac Mini and we don't have the former owner's password, so we can't install anything like flash player.  Does anyone know how to get around this? I don't know how to wipe the hard drive, and the support online doesn't seem to work.

    As posted previously:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    If installing Leopard the process is similar in some respects.  If you wish to begin anew then after selecting the target disk click on the Options button and select the Erase and Install option then click on the OK button.  To install over an existing system do the following:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • Mac OS X - Flash Player crashes in all browsers for site (bug?)

    Hello,
    I just received a complaint by one of my clients that customers were no longer able to visit his site (using a Mac), as the flash player was crashing everytime the site was loaded, no matter what browser was used. I started investigating this using the latest flash-player installed (v11.1.102.64) and it seems that their is a new restriction present, a flash-movie can not be higher then +/- 4090pixels (I've been testing this while updating the code) on a Mac. When I visit the same site on Windows (flash player v11.1.102.64) it never crashes and shows the full height of the site 5276px, no matter what browser I use.
    I believe this must be some bug, as the browsers I tested are the same and I can't remember havind this problem with previous versions of flash (as I would have noticed this). Could someone confirm me if this could be a bug, and it should actually be submitted somehow? Or am I overlooking something?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I'd like to investigate this for you.  Do you have a URL I can try this out on?
    Thanks,

  • I downloaded Office for Mac 2011, and almost immediately my Yahoo email stopped working, most images were disabled throughout my internet sites, and my bank site reported that I was using a "new computer," which is not true. How can I get my email to work

    I have an iMac version 10.6.8/2.66 GHz Intel Processor and 4 GB memory, with Safari 5.1.10. I had used Office for Mac 2008 but had to upgrade for work. The download (from Amazon) went swiftly, but when I started Word, it did not function too well. Then about an hour later I noticed that my Yahoo email site stopped working, it lost all images and the text just jumbled up on the left side of the screen. No amount of emptying caches or resets/quits/restarts did anything. I called the Internet support, and they just said it was my iMac that had the problem. I have been reduced to using MacMail as my email, but this is tenuous, as my Yahoo account keeps holding things up and constantly asking me for my password (and sometimes it does not accept it). How can I get my computer back?

    The path may be long and tedious, grasshopper.
    Actually, the download of Office 2011 for Mac probably was not legal and may have contained bugs or other things meant to make it unstable, or invite a host of issues. The usual path would be Office 2011 for Mac on DVD so you could reinstall it and add the extras from the disc as needed; or fix the installation later on. The updates for security were downloads from Microsoft servers. You'd need a legitmate version with pass code.
    Options for Mac and office-like application suites include Libre Office, NeoOffice, and these run free. The latter supports up to Mavericks. 10.9.1 now. They have a word, excel, and other parts a lot like the real office.
    If you have a working clone of the system prior to installing the Office 2011 for Mac download and any subsequent and perhaps unseen extras, you could revert to it simply by restarting the computer from the clone, where it resides in externally enclosed self-powered hard disk drive, of a type known to support OS X clones... With ports to help work with most modern Macs. FireWire + USB. Then, clone it back w/ carbon copy cloner.
    Short of that, perhaps someone will see your post and offer some indepth method of hunting down bugs via use of Console logs; and maybe booting into Terminal utility to use unix code. It can be rather involved. Maybe Linc Davis will offer some detailed reply that will invite you to read carefully and try it.
    I've given up using computers long ago.

  • I have lost track of the number of websites that do not work properly on the iPad without Adobe Flash player which is unsupported. I cannot use retail sites, billing sites and most important of all job application sites. All are missing tabs, links, info

    I have lost track of the number of websites which do not work properly on my iPad. They include retail sites, billing sites and most important of all job application sites. They all seem to require Adobe Flash Player which cannot be downloaded onto an iPad. Skyfire does not solve the problem. They all load without vital parts of the site such as tabs, links and correct formatting. Any suggestions?

    Most such brower/service combinations have a difficult time working with Flash-based apps and often fail completely. Flash videos are usually the most successful content these browers can handle. You can try the others apps - Puffin, iSwifter, etc - but you may find that none of them work, in which case you will not be able to use your iPad with these sites other than by using one of the various remote control solutions to take over a computer running the full Flash Player.
    IMHO, any developer that built a Flash application for a billing or job application site was an idiot, but I know that's out of the control of anyone but the relevant company.
    Regards.
