.mac website question

I know this is off topic, but I want to build a website in iweb. I know you have to use .mac to publish it very easy. IS there a way to do it with out it? Also do you have to publish it to the .mac site, or can you publish it to your own domain? Ya know. like www.whatever.com instead of the .mac blah blah blah?
Thanks

Hi Rick,
Yes, it is possible. For a detailed explanation Tom Gewecke (a frequent contributor) has prepared a User Tip on just such a procedure. You can view it here:

If you have further iWeb related questions it would be best if you post them in the iWeb forum:

  • Cannot play podcast from .mac website on iPhone's Safari

    Published a podcast, using iWeb on our .mac website. Works great on my laptop, however, on the iPhone using Safari, it just shows a QuickTime icon. If you click on the icon it takes you to the quicktime site to download the latest version of quicktime. There isn't a "play" button visible to press instead.
    If I subscribe to the podcast, download it into iTunes and then sync my iPhone, it works great. Is it possible to listen to podcasts right through Safari on the iPhone?

    It's that way because that's the way Apple designed it.
    I just merely wish to listen to them using itunes and my pc headphones while it charges the unit.
    You can still connect headphones to the iPhone and listen while your PC changes the iPhone. Until Apple changes things, that's it.
    You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • New Hard Drive: Mac Face/Question Mark on boot

    I installed a new hard drive in my fathers iBook G4 1.33 GHz and installed Leopard. I instantly had problems after the installation was complete and the computer restarted. I got the Mac Face/Question Mark for a second and then it booted to the installation CD.
    I used disk utilities to verify and repair the disk and permissions which both finished successfully. I tried to reboot with the same result: Mac Face/Question Mark for a second and then it booted to the installation CD. I decided to erase and reinstall Leopard. Installation complete - Restart - Mac Face/Question Mark. I decided to turn if off for the night.
    I powered up in the morning with short-lived success, as I got the Leopard Welcome video. I set up the system and did some software updates, which eventually required a restart. Boom. Mac Face/Question Mark. I decided to hold the option key on my next restart to see if I could select the hard drive installation over the install CD. I was able to do so, and it booted fine to the hard drive. I continued my software updating, installed some more software like iLife '08, Firefox, Open Office, Stuffit Expander, etc. After all my installation and updating, the system operates great, except when I have to start up. I still have the Mac Face/Question Mark.
    I have a theory that the hard drive jumper is set incorrectly, but I don't want to waste 45 mins. cracking the thing open to find out. Can anyone confirm? I'm open to all other theories, of course.

    No jumper means Cable Select (CS). This would mean that the cable from the motherboard to the drive has a blue connector at the motherboard and a black connector on the end where the drive plugs in. The gray connector in the middle is the Slave position. Master/Slave relationship is determined by where on the cable the device is plugged in.
    The CS cables and the setting was not used very often until around 2004 or 2005. Until that time all of the connectors on the cable were the same color and the Master/Slave setting was determined by the jumper on the drive.
    It's very possible that you are trying to use a drive that's been setup for the newer systems as Cable Select, when actually you should force the drive to be a Master by installing a jumper on the proper pins.
    Are there two deviced on the cable besides the motherboard, and are all of the connectors the same color? Or is the connector that plugs into the motherboard black? Then you are probably not looking at a CS buss.

  • My old mac website

    James ~ iWeb is a web design app used for designing web pages and publishing them to the internet. It includes some page templates specially designed for presenting photos & videos.
    MobileMe Gallery is special web page published from iPhoto, iMovie or Aperture for displaying photos and videos in a more sophisticated way. A MobileMe Gallery can be embedded into an iWeb site.
    Also, am I able to use my old mac website with IWEB?
    If you're referring to a website made via the old .Mac HomePage app, you cannot import that website directly into iWeb. You could, however, manually drag & drop media from your .Mac HomePage site to iWeb's canvas. See this related Apple doc:

  • Photos Not Showing up on .mac Website

    I'm having trouble with my .mac website. Any album that was originally created using the last version of iWeb...the photos do not show up. You can go to our website here: http://www.bastianwebsite.com
    Fall 2007 was the first album that was created using iWeb 08. All other albums prior to that one the photos do not show up. When I open up iWeb the photos are in there. They just do not seem to load or at least they are not viewable via my website. Any help would be great appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Hi Tom,
    First I'd like to tell you that you might think of reducing the number of photos showing per page as it makes the page load extremely slow if there are too many photos per page. 30 photos per page would be great and iWeb automatically creates 'sub pages'.
    Second you might think of making 'Groups' to avoid the menu occupying half of the screen. Thus making having a "B'days" page and on that page have normal text links to the different B'days and a page called "Weddings" and have normal text links to the different weddings... The pages linked from these group-pages (thus particular weddings and B'days) wouldn't show up in the main menu (Inspector, Page tab, uncheck include page in navigation menu) result: the size of the menu is reduced and it does look better.
    That said you might try to make a "publish all" in iWeb (File=>Publish all) instead of a simple publish to get the photos appearing on the web. I hope that helps. It may take a while seen the amount of pictures you have on the site...
    (I know 'first' and 'second' were not required... But I thought they might be helpful...)
    Regards,
    Cédric

  • Using my existing domain name to refer to a .Mac website created with iWeb

    How do I have my domain name connect to my .Mac website address, without using a slow redirect?

    The place where you got your domain name should be able to tell you how to forward to your web.mac.com url. Nothing to do with Apple or iWeb really.

  • Created audio only podcast, too big to post on my .Mac website

    I'm new with GB and thought it would be a easy way to record my voice for my daughter (military deployed to mid east right now). Its a basic female voice track, about 9 1/2 mins long, with no effects, no art, nothing but me talking. The podcast is over 100MB and that's way too big to post on my .Mac website. I already chnaged the compression to micro, low quality. Why is it so big? is that normal? Would recording just any audio track, not a podcast, be smaller? thanks

    100MB for 10 minutes would be an uncompressed AIFF file. You need to convert it to an MP3 file in iTunes. Please refer to HangTime's 'NeverFail Method', substituting MP3 for AIFF: I would suggest setting it to 128kb/s stereo, 64kb/s mono.

  • Can you post an iPhoto slideshow to a .mac website?

    Can you post an iPhoto slideshow to a .mac website? Thank you so much!!!

    You can export the slide show as a quicktime movie then upload it to your iDisk.
    Login to .Mac Homepage, create a page and then select the uploaded movie.

  • My .mac Website not found in searches

    I've just created my new .mac website using iWeb, and successfully published it.
    But when I do a Google or Netscape search using my name as a search term, this newly published webpage does not show up in the search results.
    What do I need to do to get greater internet recognition for my .mac website?
    gh

    It really just takes time. I'd say give it a couple, maybe three, weeks for Google's spiders to find your site. After you get in their indexes, it seems that Google revisits on about a weekly basis.
    It has been said that the more links that other sites have to your site, the more relevance your site will hold, but I take this with a grain of salt. Also, some people say that adding meta tags to your html files will help search engines rank your site with relevance, but I just don't see that happening. Google actually doesn't reveal their procedures, but I have seen an article where someone at Google is quoted as saying that arbitrary keyword placement and meta-tags are de-emphasized...and even discouraged.
    Just give it some time.

  • How do I upload PDFs to .Mac website with iWeb?

    Is there a way to upload documents such as PDFs to my .Mac website with iWeb and then link to them from iWeb pages such as Blogs?
    17" iMac (Intel Core Duo)   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Yes, there are two ways of doing it:
    The efficient, "every link points to the same guy" solution is to add the PDF to your page with Insert->Hyperlink->To File..., publish it, and copy the address into all references anywhere else (blogs).
    The second way is to just link those PDFs locally in each reference. This isn't as efficient space-wise as above, but considerably easier.

  • How do I shorten my .mac website address?

    Hi all,
    Right now my .mac website address is: http://web.me.com/ocicatgraphics/OcicatGraphics/OcicatGraphics.html
    It's too long... Is there anyway to shorten it? You know so it might be easier to remember and fit on a business card?
    Thanks in advance.
    PA

    All you need to enter is http://web.me.com/ocicatgraphics/ to get to your site.
    If you're referring to what is shown in the URL window you can purchase a domain name, something like ocicatgraphics.com or ocicatgraphics.info (GoDaddy has a special on the .info - $0.99 the first year, $9.99 per year thereafter and that includes domain name forwarding and masking. Then all you would enter in the browser window is your domain name and that's all you'd see in the URL window when you got to your site. Like my toadstutorials.info site.

  • IWeb / Non .mac website?

    I have the older version of iLife that didn't come with iWeb. I already have two websites with another hosting company. I wanted to know if I could use iWeb to create sites to put on my own existing (and already paid for) sites, or can you only upload your pages to a .mac website account?
    Thanks!

  • .mac mail question:I have an old emac without an intel chip...

    .mac mail question:I have an old emac without an intel chip...I have a .mac email account, I would like to be able to have my emails automatically forwarded to a gmail account. I cannot access icloud with this old machine, any ideas? thanks! and aloha!

    Hello,
    But you can setup iCloud email on you old Mac!
    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    • Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 993
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    • Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 587
    • SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
    Thanks to dpepper...

  • Move .mac website from one account to another-delete the old

    I am a rookie at iweb and .mac, but I love them so far. I have created a website in iWeb 06 under my trial .mac account. We are going to sign up, but under a new user name. my question is, can I publish my current site on the new account, and delete the info on the web for my old account? I'd love any ideas.

    antsmarching
    Yes, as soon as you enter your new .Mac information in the System Preferences, iWeb will use that information to logon to the correct account and you can publish to your new account then.
    As for removing the old site from the trial account. You can just delete the site from your iDisk or do it this way:

  • Photoshop elements mac, newbie questions for webshop

    Hello all,
    My name is Jelle and i have photoshop elements for mac, which i mostly use to create banners, headers and backgrounds for my website www.dagelijkseluxe.nl.
    Though this is my question, i think there are a lot of people like me, bumping in the same problems. Maybe it's an idea to have a webshop webinar someday (or i missed it) for some basic functions mostly used for websites. Like easy banner creation, background adjustments for sites and products, best product presentation, etc.
    Even though i mostly use the guided editing, i sometimes venture off and try to use the full editor. Now, this must be too easy for most of you powerusers, but the background of the webshop is still a bit to dark to my liking. However i feel i have reached all i can do with the different sliders presented in the guided tour.
    Is there an easy way to "mistify" the background or any photo for that matter?
    I also save the files as PNG as per recommendation from the sitebuilder. what's the difference with interlaced and non interlaced saving.
    Thank you in advance for your time!
    Kind regards,
    Jelle Dingemans

    You could use:
    Filter >> Blur >> Gaussian Blur
    That should mystify or blur your image.
    Interlaced is a better method for displaying mainly large images on monitors - but you get a slightly larger file. Small images tend to load very quickly so non-interlaced will keep the file size down.
