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.

How to edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs?

How can I edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs? I know we create a folder with the files, but when copying that to Mac2, iWeb on Mac2 doesn't see that folder - I can't see what the linkage is between the app's interface and the folder of site files....

The answer is Domain.sites (extension hidden by default). You'll find this on the Mac you used to create the site at Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Copy that file to removable media and drag it to the same location on the other Mac. Launch iWeb and you'll see the site structure in the Site Organizer.
Once you keep the Domain package in sync between the two machines everything will work smoothly no matter which you use. There's a neat tip here which may help in this respect, but you use whatever strategy you prefer:

When I set (on two different computers) the Location Bar to "Nothing" it resets to "History and bookmarks" as soon as I close and reopen Firefox.

When I set (on two different computers) the Location Bar option: When using the location bar suggest: to "Nothing" it resets to "History and bookmarks" as soon as I close and reopen Firefox. I am using the latest vesion on Win8 on both computers. One has Bitdefender the othe McKafee. I have no obvious Addware, I use Iobit Uninstaller Advanced Care and and Driver manager on both computers. Until now I have always used Firefox as I refuse to use Explorer and I do not want to have to use Opera or another browser instead.
Can you please help?

Have you seen this general article: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]?
Also, this might be a glitch with using automatic private browsing mode. Some settings changes might not be saved in that mode.
If all else fails, do you want to try a manual hack?
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window (Windows Explorer window) showing your current settings files.
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then open '''prefs.js''' in a text editor by right-clicking it and choosing Edit or Open With. (Double-clicking leads to Windows attempting to execute it, so I do not recommend that.)
Paste this at the end of the file on its own line:
user_pref("browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled", false);
Then save the file and close your editor.
Start Firefox back up again. Did the manual change work?

Is it possible to edit my website with web '08 from two different Macs?

Is it possible to work on iWeb on two different MACS?
I've attempted to move my domain.Site folder from my laptop and place it on my Power PC in the iWeb folder, but I continue to receive a familiar error message can't read the Domain.Site.
Does anyone have any answers?
Both are running iweb 08'

You could make the file available for download via your public folder and when one user updates it they could change the title to include the date of editing and upload it back to the Public folder and delete the original file. . To do that you'd want to archive (zip) the file (control-click on the file and select "Make archive of file xxxx" so it would upload without problems. Not as convenient but doable. You would just have to make sure to identify the date of editing so there would be no problem.

How to publish from iWeb to two different .mac accounts

my household has two separate .macs account and we want to publish from iWeb to the two different accounts which I cannot figure out. thanks

I discovered I could duplicate Domain.sites2 (~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2). I named one "Domain de.sites2", and the other "Domain daru.sites2". Then I opened daru's site and deleted de's, then I opened de's and deleted daru's, and I have two separate sites (with aliases in the dock) that I presume I'll be able to upload separately. Once I get .Mac sub groups created...
If it works, it saves the hassle of creating other user accounts, since only my wife and I use the computer. Right now, .Mac is telling me I can't create a sub account in my wife's name because she already has a .Mac ID (and a two month free trial account she had to agree to, to join the group) for a group site I manage. I don't think she ought to be required to have a separate identity every time she logs into .Mac.

FCE HD 3.5 Crashing at Startup on Two Different Macs

The software started crashing on my Power Mac a couple of days after install. I tried trashing the preferences--but It still crashes again every time I open the application.
Then on the advice from someone on this forum, I trashed everything associated with FCE, Soundtrack, and LIvetype.
Yet the problem persists.
Then we got a brand new iMac last week and installed FCE HD 3.5 (from a different disk) and I am having exactly the same problem.
I am trying not to pull my hair out.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Basically, whenever I click on the application to open it, it will start opening, and then will crash within 5 seconds.
The only way I have found to rid this problem is to trash the preferences folder. Then afterwards, the application will work fine for one editing session. But then the next time I try to launch the application, it starts to crash at start up again. And will crash continually at startup until I trash the preferences again.
This is occuring to me on two different Macs where I have installed FCE 3.5 HD separately using different disks.
Both Macs are purchased within the last year, have tons of RAM, Quicktime Pro, the latest OS etc. etc.
My intuition tells me that it is some kind of FCE software problem, since I am having the exact same problem on two different systems.

Time Machine to Backup two different mac computers on a single firewire 500

I have a new generation MacBook and iMacG5 and a single Maxtor 500 GB external hard drive which has two firewire inputs. I connexted both macs by firewire to this external hard drive. I used Time Machine on both computers which are on at the same time. However I can see Time Machine works well on one mac - where I can see each hourly backup but the other mac backups don't show up. I called Tech support and was told that I cannot have both macs on at the same time accessing the same external hard drive. I see two different files for each computer's backup so why can't both computers be running Time Machine at the same time?
So...I thought I should buy the new Time Capsule 1 TB BUT I worry the same access issues will occur. How does the Time Capsule drive wirelessly operate with two macs simultaneously when I was told that Time Machine would not operate via firewire with multiple computers on a single drive.
Any suggestions...are the Tech Support folks incorrect about using Time Machine with firewire access simultaneously with two different macs?

What you cannot do is connect two computers to a single FW drive enclosure at the same time. You can connect the drive to each computer separately. Time Capsule functions as a network drive thus any machine on the network can access the shared network drive. This is not the same as using an external FW drive.
If you want to use your single FW drive to backup two computers, I suggest you first partition the drive into two equal partitions. Use one partition for the TM backup of one computer, and the other partition as the TM backup for the second computer. However, you will need to physically move the drive from one computer to the other in order to perform backups.
Alternatively, if you have a local network set up you can physically connect the drive to one computer, then set up file sharing so that the other computer can mount the shared drive and use it for backup via the Ethernet network (or wireless if it's a wireless setup.) Unfortunately, I'm not positive this will work because TM is known to have some problems backing up to network devices although it is supposed to be able to backup to network drives.
Nevertheless, you should set up two partitions on the drive for each computer in order to keep the backups separate.

Can I use Time Machine on two different Macs to back up to one external drive?
I have one 1T Western Digital backup drive that works well with Time Machine and my MacBook Pro. I now want to back up my wife's MacBook Air using Time Machine on her Mac and want to know if I can use the same WD external drive or if I need to get a 2nd back up drive? If I can use one external drive for the two Macs do I need to do something special on the drive or will Time Machine do it automatically?

Yes. You will need to configure Time Machine preferences on each computer to backup to the same drive. Note that you cannot connect the backup drive to both machines at the same time.

Syncing two iphoto libraries on two different macs

Hey
Can't seem to find an answer to this one so here goes. I am trying to sync my iphoto libraries that I have on two different macs of mine. One a mac pro and one a macbook. Both are running 10.5.7 and iphoto 8 with all the updates. I have sharing on enabled on both macs and in iphoto. I can do a manual drag and drop but I have 1000's of photos and that would take way to long to do. Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks

Use iPhoto Library Manager to move Events/Albums/Pics plus associated metadata between Libraries.

IWeb doesn't complete publishing - Using two different Mac's, works on 1

Hi,
I've recently attempted to edit my sites from two different machines; I have correctly copied and used the Domain file. The problem is that when I try to publish the site, iWeb creates the pages, gets to the empty circle which starts filling up and then it tends to stay like that without completing. This is strange as for a test I was only trying to load a blank page. Futhermore Activity monitor shows that data is being sent, actually it was Mb after Mb for a blank page and after 30mins or so i called it a day and quit iWeb, after which activity monitor showed that the data being sent has stopped. The page hadn't uploaded. iWeb still publishes fine on the other machine and I can write and read from my iDisk manually. But cannot successfully publish from this machine.
Any Ideas?

Well i had a problem similar. Here are something to try. TRY
1. Un-Plug Or Turn Off You Airport Or Internet Cord For Thirty Minutes
2. Log out of your .mac account from the preferences and then log back in ten minutes later
Well i hope this works. I just hate it when something is suppose to work and it does not.

How do I edit together two different camera angles in iMovie '11?

I've just started using iMovie '11 to put together a little concert footage of my band. I've got two videos of the same concert from two different angles. One is in front of the band and one is next to the drums. Obviously, the video next to the drums has louder audio. Is there a way I can edit these to videos together with iMovie '11 and mix together the audio as well?

If you do a lot of this you may want to try Final Cut Pro X. However, it is quite possible in iMovie. In FCP X, there are tools for automatically aligning the clips from the various cameras and audio sources, and it is fairly straightforward to then cut between cameras as part of a compound clip.
Here is how I did it in iMovie.
I recently did this for a video of my niece's senior voice recital. (Video is below)
The key is to use the Cutaway feature of iMovie. If you are not familiar with Cutaway, here is a good tutorial from Ken Stone.
I had three audio possibilities. A CD recording, the side camera audio track, and the back camera audio track. I decided to use the side camera audio track with heavy use of muted cutaways from the back camera. So I used the side camera as my base clips, and used the back camera as the cutaway clips. I decided the CD recording had too much noise even after fixing in Audacity. And the back camera audio track was OK but had too much coughing and noise.
Here are tips for getting it lined up perfectly.
1) In iMovie/Preferences make sure that you check "Display Time as hh:mm:ss:frames" so you can edit to the frame level. (Also, select "Show Advanced Tools so you get the Cutaway feature)
2) In the iMovie Project View, set the thumbnail slider to 1/2 second so you have a great deal of control.
3) Initially, leave the volume at 100% on the Cutaway track, so that both tracks are playing. You can hear when they are off.
4) Click the "Waveforms" button in the Project view, so you get a visual cue of how to line up the tracks.
5) Between the audible cues and the visual cues, you can nudge the cutaway back and forth one frame at a time by dragging until you have it perfect.
6) When it is lined up to your satisfaction, set the volume slider of the Cutaway track to zero, and turn off the waveforms. You can also move the thumbnail slider back to 5 seconds or so.
7) For some of the fine work, I switched to the "single row timeline view". This slows you down a bit, but lets you see the waveforms more clearly.
8) I made heavy use of the iMovie Comment Marker feature. I watched the whole base video/audio track and inserted comment markers at the points where I wanted the Cutaway to begin and end. For example, a comment might say "Insert Cutaway 1". I would usually time the cutaway so it started at a distinct audio event, such as when the piano start. This comment marker made it easy to drag my cutaway to a point that was approximately correct.
9) If you need to do a lot of cutaways, I find that it helps to use the SPLIT CLIP command in your project. This way you can have a single cutaway per clip, and this makes it easier to manage and is less processor and memory intensive for iMovie. I would use the comments to mark the entry and exit points of the cutaway as described above. I would then select that portion of the clip that included these markers plus a little more, so that a yellow border is around the selection. Then right-click/SPLIT CLIP (or CLIP/SPLIT CLIP in the top menu). This does not physically splt the clip within the Event. It only virtually splits the clip in the project.
