Mobileme website and iweb question

how much longer will Apple host my mobileme website? Any suggestions for transitioning to a new server? Will iWeb continue to work as my web update program?

Creating a website in iweb question

As a first time iWeb user, does anyone know how to view web pages as they will look in my browser before I upload the site? As a long time PC user with Dreamweaver, you could choose to see how the page would look in Explorer by hitting the F-12 key. Is there a similar feature for a Mac and iWeb?
Thanks, skate-away

Hi there,
Welcome to the Apple Forums. On the top left hand side of the screen in iWeb, it should display the name of your site. If you click on the name, you will then see a page with various options. You will see "Publish To" & you can then select "Local Folder". Once you have published there, you will then be able to view the HTML files within your Browser.

IPhoto and iWeb Question

If you create an album in iPhoto and you decide to also publish it as a MobileMe Gallery you will see both in the left hand sidebar in iPhoto - the regular album and the published album - all is well.
You are able to drop EITHER of these into an iWeb photopage. Here is teh question:
Is there any advantage/disadvantage to using one of these albums as "the iweb one"?
I ask as I dropped a gallery which is posted on MobileMe and then WITHIN iWeb I started to delete some of the pictures within that album - not sure if that updates the album in iPhoto/MobileMe or not but it made me think that perhaps this isn't the best way to do it. Any thoughts appreciated.
Steve

Steve:
If you create a MMe gallery from an album you will have both the album and MMe gallery in the left hand iPhoto pane. The MMe gallery icon can be seen in the Media browser in iWeb but the photos are not viewable nor is it able to be dragged into any iWeb page. You need either an album or event to be able to drag into iWeb.
If you drag an album into iWeb and then delete photos from it the album in iPhoto is not affected nor would the MMe gallery created by that album.

From old website and iWeb to new HDD and iLife '08?

I wasn't sure which category to post this in but this may seem more relevant to my issue.
I put a new HDD in my mac some time ago and also upgraded to Leopard OS. I created a site using iWeb 6 which still have saved on my original HDD which i now have for external use. I just bought iLife '08 but yet to install it as I would like to update the website I was working on rather than start from scratch. The site mainly consists of photos and videos where I used iPhoto and Quicktime Pro a lot. I have also copied my iPhoto library onto my new HDD.
What is the best way for me to copy and continue updating the site I was working whilst upgrading to iLife '08 so I can enjoy the benefits it has and use the features to help me progress with the site?
Any help much appreciated

Put the domain file in :
~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
Open iWeb 06.
If you start using iWeb 08, it will find your domain file and updates it to iWeb 08.

Bridge gallery and iWeb questions, newbie....

Hi All....
I have made myselve a page in iWeb but I´m not happy with the gallery-layout with thumpnails and small sized pictures, I would like my galleries to be scroll down type, OR just one picture at the time and nothing else, except "Next/previous" and a "Menu" sign, either in a good (>>>big pictures) size....
I have this morning realized that I can do that in Bridge, so I have made myselve a testgallery and uploaded to my site via Bridge, and I can see in Filezilla that it is there, but I can´t see it on my page, off course because there´s no link between the two of them, the question is, how do I make my page show the gallery....???
I haven´t been able to locate the testgallery on the web, as mentioned I can see in Filezilla that it is there somewhere, but how to find it out there I don´t know....
My homepage is called www.easerfoto.dk and the gallery I have oploaded is called Bridgegallerytest, if it has any relevance....
If anyone have a page that is made in Bridge and care to share how´s, then please step forward, I´m on zero here, any tip is appreciated....;-)
Maybe I should mention that I am an complete NOOB on all this (managed to have Filezilla working first time last week), but want to learn....

When you created your gallery did you publish the file to a folder? And was one of the files in that folder named index.htm or html? Make sure the gallery works correctly by opening the index.html file with your browser from the gallery copy on your hard drive.
Then upload to the root directory of your account on the server. The url would be something like this: http://www.easerfoto.dk/Folder_name/index.html.
Put that URL in the iFrame code below in an HTML snippet. The iFrame code in the snippet would look like this:
<iframe height="XXXpx" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="width:XXXpx;border:none" src=" http://www.easerfoto.dk/Folder_name/index.html"></iframe>
Adjust the height and width dimensions to fit the size of the gallery you want on the page.
Also for what it's worth there are other gallery types of presentations, some from iPhoto with a free plugin, that might be of interest to you:

MobileMe security and privacy questions

Hope this is the right forum for this. I am considering getting MobileMe but I'm concerned that my information would no longer be private because it would be beamed over the airwaves.
How private is all my info after allowing MobileMe to transfer all my data? It would seem to me that I am allowing hackers and/or Big Brother access to all my files. Any one have any solid info on this?

Copied from this link.
http://www.articlesbase.com/information-technology-articles/wireless-security-gs m-lan-and-wifi-networks-564519.html
GSM phones use encrypted technology that enables secure voice and data transfer during calls.
The same applies to data access via the cellular network.
More than likely you are beaming all sorts of information over the airwaves without a MobileMe account. Are you accessing any email account with the iPhone's Mail client? If so, messages received and sent with the email account you are currently accessing with the iPhone's Mail client is being beamed over the airwaves - via an available wi-fi network, or AT&T's cellular network.
I have not read a single report about any Apple servers being compromised including MobileMe servers.

Will I still me able to keep my blogs and websites with iWeb after Mobileme is discontinued?

My wife and I use iWeb via Mobileme for our websites and blogs. Mobileme is being discontinued for iCloud. Can anyone reassure me that I can keep my iWeb websites? I feel iWeb was a good thing that almost got better but has been neglected in the last version of iLife so for the first time didn't upgrade. I am anxious that Apple will just let it slip away. Perhaps not?

I don't have any insider information, but I would have to guess that Apple would keep a web hosting option to its chosen successor to MobileMe. iCould is clearly a Hosted Exchange Server alternative and web hosting would seem to be needed for many small businesses who are using this service as an alternative to web hosting. It also helps push their iLife product line. If you kill webhosting, iWeb becomes a weaker product. That said, I would keep a backup.
I think that as iCloud gets nearer to release date, we will see more options get released. I'm sure that Apple will be willing to sell more storage space, that web hosting will be available, etc. My gut is that probably won't charge for the hosting, but will draw down from your data pool. It just seems like a cleaner way and will actually get more people to take the jump. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Sharepoint type service emerge as well. Only time will tell, but Apple's philosophy is to make all their pieces fit together and work better than than anyone else's. A web hosting component seems to make sense.

I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

Hello al!
I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

Just create a new page (or use the existing photo page) on your external site and use html to add an iframe sized to the page and link it to the mobilme gallery page. Works for me just fine when showing my gallery from a yahoo site.
like this
<iframe scrolling="off" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" style="width:100%;height:100%;border:none" src="http://gallery.me.com/your_account_name"></iframe>

Why did Steve decide to eliminate superior products like MobileMe and iWeb and not just raise the price?

I've been looking into moving 3 web sites that I easily created using iWeb and Mobile me and it is unbarably difficult to use what non Apple users have to put up with. I was so happy that I could throw a site together for someone and it would just work. Now I'm looking at 5 times the cost and 1/5th the quality. Why didn't Apple just raise the price if it was unprofitable? MobileMe and iWeb are a GREAT service to Apple customers. I feel this discontinuation is very unfortunate for many.

Actually, the discontinuation of MobileMe is an opportunity to move on to more professional website hosting and management. MMe is just too social networking oriented and lacking in serious webstite hosting capability.
Now I'm looking at 5 times the cost and 1/5th the quality
You've got to be kidding! Web hosting that has more hosting features that MMe had is readily available for as little as $3.95/mo. That's only $48/year - aboiut 1/2 of what MMe costs. Included are a domain name, unlimited storage and transfer, subdomains, multiple email addresses, advanced security features and, something MobileMe never had, 24/7 actual ear-to-ear customer support! What a novel idea. Actually quickly contacting and talking to a real person to get help on a problem.
I moved about 30 websites from MMe to my new host in about an hour once the new server was setup. This describes how I did it: iW13 - Easily Transfer Website Folders From MobileMe to a 3rd Party Server.
This tutorial explains how I host multiple sites with just one domain name: iW16 - Using HostExcellence.com with iWeb. The same can be done with subdomains but the folder method I used was easer in my opinion.
Depending on your website's design and intented use iWeb an still be a viable web builder. However, for more complex websites and connecting with mobile users one will have to begin using other applications. Read the following:
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.

However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.

You can move you 3 websites to a new host in no time and save money doing it.

I created a website using iWeb, then published to MobileMe, how can i publish to iCloud?

I created a website using iWeb, then published to MobileMe, Mobile Me is now closed, how can i publish to iCloud?

iCloud does NOT allow you to host your web sites. You can continue to use iWeb but, will need a 3rd party web host to upload your websites to. Depending on the version of iWeb you are using you have a couple of publishing options:
iWeb '09 (3.0.4) you can publish to an FTP Server or a local folder. ( With the built in FTP in iWeb you will end up with an address like "www.YourDomain.com/sitename/Home.html )
iWeb '08 you can publish your website to a local folder
I have been using IX Webhosting for several years with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across. The have plans that start at $3.95 a mo (USD) and their customer service is top notch.

I am building a website using IWEB, on my computer, and I am stuck suddenly, the page I made yesterday is hidden by another page and I cannot pursue..
Is there a way to learn the process, also I see a contradiction with ILIFE 2011, reading about an announcement of Steve Jobs....? that iWeb would not longer be??

How is the first page hidden by the other page? Where are you experiencing this problem? In iWeb's window or in the browser window of the published site?
Are you referring to the page's link in your navbar? If so check the Inspector/Page/Page pane for the "hidden" page and make sure it's set to be included in the navbar. If that's not the problem describe in detail what you mean and include any screenshots you can make of the problem.
As far as the longevity of iWeb read the following:
As you now know iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.

Delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. Then launch iWeb and see if it opens.
What happened was trying to open the html file reset the file path that iWeb saves in its preference file to tell it where to go when you launch iWeb. Deleting the pref file and launching iWeb creates a new file and iWeb looks in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder for the Domain.sites2 file it uses to create your site.
