My iWeb site hosted on PowWeb not showing up with old URL - CNAME issue?

Since Apple migrated my .mac account to MobileMe, the site I was updating and hosting on PowWeb shows only the old uncorrected site. When I publish the URL I get a weird MobileMe URL which doesn't work well as people are used to the original URL. Very confusing!
I've called PowWeb and they seem to understand the issue, but still not working. Although they did say it might take some time to take effect.
How do I get the site to to use the original URL rather than the Mobile Me URL?
What is the appropriate CNAME for MobileMe, if that's the problem?
Thanks!!

The PowWeb Tech suggested I need more than web.me.com, like IP addresses, a record names.
Doing it that way and doing it via URL forwarding are mutually exclusive. It's up to you to decide. It's much easier to just fix the URL forwarding which is currently botched than to start messing with IP's, CNAMEs and A Records.
So I need to go into PowWeb and change the URL forwarding to: http://web.me.com/markh47/Garfield_LAX/Join.html ?
Yes.
Do you have any idea under what category name that would be?
Ask them how to change your URL forwarding. Normally you just type your corrected web.me.com url into a form on line.

  • Drop Shadows not showing up with iweb 2.04 in firefox please help!

    Drop Shadows on my frame are not showing up with iweb 2.04 and firefox please help!
    They show up with safari but not firefox. I've read that publishing to mobile me solves it but I publish to my hard drive and ftp to my host (not mobile me).
    Thanks for any help

    Drop shadows, borders etc are a bad idea in that they increase the file size and the download time of your page.
    Create your image, drop shadow etc on your iWeb page, take a screenshot, crop it and replace the original image with the, much reduced, JPEG>

  • Flash files in iWeb site hosted by Godaddy?

    Anybody know how to use .swf files in an iWeb site hosted on Godaddy?
    I'm trying to see how to use a few .swf files (flash) in my site which I built and maintain with iWeb.
    I had set them up back in the .mac days and they were able to work. When .mac ended, I switched the hosting to Dropbox which worked fine (though a little slow) but I guess I hadn't checked those .swf animations. When I was preparing to move the site to GoDaddy recently, the animations weren't working.
    My site is now up and running on GoDaddy and I'd like to get those animations working. I've googled/searched for information, but all the info seems to be about using idisk or .mac. Since those no longer exist, I'm having trouble figuring out how to do it.
    Anybody know how to use .swf files in an iWeb site hosted on Godaddy?
    Thanks!

    Upload the files in a folder to the root folder on the server using an FTP app. This page is about audio files but it's the same method for flash...

    Then reference each file in an iframe code. See this page for more info...

  • My maps are not showing buildings with clarity. They have no color. It's like my maps are outdated but my ipad is fully updated. I can't get the option of views in my ipad

    My maps are not showing buildings with clarity. They have no color. It's like my maps are outdated but my ipad is fully updated. I can't get the option of views in my ipad. Like the downtown view and stuff. Please help.

    What locations are you seeing these "problems"? If the satellite photos are older or not as clear, you may see some of what you describe. Take a look at one of the major cities and see if they are also appearing as you describe. Someplace like New York, London, Paris. Those are among the cities that seem to be updated most frequently.
    Incidentally, the maps are web/cloud based and not contained within the maps app on your iPad, so regardless of the version of your app, you will still get the most current map available.

  • Hosting my iweb site on GoDaddy, but not everything works

    I uploaded my site (built in iWeb) to GoDaddy. When I view my site via .mac, everything looks and works as it is supposed to. When I went to my website after hosting it on GoDaddy, everything looked good and worked except for 3 minor things. Here are the 3 troubles I had. Any help on how to fix them is appreciated.
    1) One of my pages when clicked on says "page not found". It shows up though when I view it via .mac.
    2) I have three posts on my blog page, but only 2 of them show when clicked. The other one tells me "page can't be found"
    3) The search field I have on my blog page does not show up. It does who up when I view my website via .mac.

    I fixed the "page not found" problem. I ended up just making a new page from scratch.
    Now my only unsolved issue is the search field doesn't show up. Maybe it is only available on .Mac?!
    I also noticed on my blog that the comments doesn't show either. I did set it up to allow comments. When viewed via .Mac, the comments area is there. When I view my site after publishing to GoDaddy, it doesn't show that comments are allowed. I only noticed this because a friend who visited my site told me to put a comments section on my blog and I said that I did have one. It ain't showing up, though. Anyone know if there is a fix for this?

  • Iweb site hosting

    Here are some tips on how to have multiple sites in a single MMe account with one or more sites having a domain name.
    A. All sites are in the same Domain.sites2 files
    1 - only one site can use the CNAME method of domain name forwarding and it must  the top site in the left hand pane of iWeb.
    Click to view full size
    2 - the other sites must use URL domain name forwarding which directs the domain name to the site's full MMe URL, http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/Site_Name,  or, if there is no domain name, just MobileMe's full URL.
    B. Each site is in its own Domain.sites2 file.
    Again, only one site can use CNAME forwarding.  This presents a problem since CNAME forwarding directs the domain name to the basic MMe account URL: http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/ which uses an index.html file in the root folder of the account, iDisk/Web/Sites. Each time a new site is published or an existing site uses the File->Publish Entire Site a new index.html file is created in that root directory, iDisk/Web/Sites folder, directing the browser to that particular site.  This file is what the CNAME method uses to find the site it represents.  Therefore some steps must be taken to assure that the index.html file in the MMe Accounts root directory always points to the correct site.  This can be accomplished is three ways.
    1 - don't use the CNAME method.  Just use  URL forwarding .  This, IMO, is the simplest method as it doesn't requre any additional effort on the user once the domain name has been set up.
    2 - use the following method suggested by Wyodor in this topic: Is it possible to have multiple sites when using ur Domain name?   
    In iWeb domainfile 1:
    Create a dummy site : _dummy
    with a blank page.
    Create your working site : Whatever
    Add pages
    Publish both Sites to the same same location on the same server.
    Your _dummy site is now the default Site.
    Check.
    In iWeb domainfile 2:
    Create/Use your CurrentSite.
    Move a page to the top of the Site and back. Publish the Site.
    iWeb will create a new index.html file in the root of the server and from now on CurrentSite is the default site.
    Check.
    From now on, never move your Whatever Site to the top of the list in the iWeb sidebar and never change the page in the _dummy site.
    Simply do not touch your _dummy ever again. And never forget that.
    3 - use Ethmoid's suggested method in Using two sites - setting one up with separate domain? or republishing the entire site that uses  CNAME forwarding.  Just making a minor change and publishing the site changes does not create a new index.html file. 
    The entire site must be republsihing in order to get that new site.  
    Or keep a copy of the CNAME site's index.html file on your Mac and replace it manually in the iDisk/Web/Sites fodler when necessary.
    NOTE:  the CNAME method provides a shorter URL:  http://www.Domain_Name.com/Site_Name/Page_Name.  CNAME does not have masking.
    The URL forwarding displays the full MMe URL:   http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/Domain_Name/Page_Name.   With domain name masking that will be shortened to:   http://www.Domain_Name.com for every page of your site.
    However, with masking visitors will only be able to bookmark and enter at the first page of the site.  If a page is refreshed the visitor is taken back to the first page.  Also search engines will only be able to index the first page of the site.

  • A div in a site am developing is not showing in firefox but shows on all the other browsers (chrome, safari, opera and explorer), can anyone help?

    i am developing a site and i used divs in making the arrangements.
    all other divs on the page shows but on particular one does not show.
    i gave all the divs a border with a red color, all the other browsers(explorer, opera, chrome and safari ) shows the divs with the colors but firefox does not even show the red color

    Can you post a test case demonstrating the problem? It doesn't need to contain confidential content or active links. (This forum doesn't handle raw HTML very well, so I don't recommend pasting code here unless you convert your angle brackets to HTML entities.)

  • Active Directory Sites + Boundary Groups + Database not showing correctly?

    I am having a hard time trying to track down my issue but after digging for a bit, I think I have figured it out but I am unsure how to fix it.
    Quick backstory, we had a domain controller go bad in this ADsite, the domain controller was also a DP at the time aswell and to fix our issues we dcpromo /forceremove it and cleaned up AD after. Created a new domain controller in
    the ADsite, replicated everything across, everything is going as it should. SCCM on the other hand thinks I did something very wrong.
    I'm not sure even how to explain but here goes. SCCM Console shows that the newly created distribution point that is running in the site where I ripped out the old domain controller and it is running well, the boundary is there, the DP is
    tied to the boundary is it looks great. (
    https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=B5BA8EC0E0DB675!4966&authkey=!ACD-aPFR5oE6TtI&v=3&ithint=photo%2cpng )
    On the other hand, SCCM Database is not connecting the DP to the boundary. I am clueless on why this is happening. Because of this, it seems like no end users are getting any software. LocationServices on client machines show the computers are in the
    proper site but SCCM does not seem to think the new DP is part of the site.  (
    https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=B5BA8EC0E0DB675!4967&authkey=!AEhKiU6eRr6kph0&v=3&ithint=photo%2cpng )
    The other 9 DPs have no issues, they are part of their respected sites, clients are getting all the software from the proper DPs and no issues.
    I would gladly share some log files if they are of any value to anyone. I have looked through ads*.log and have not found anything that would tell me it has issues querying the ADsite.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Removal of the DC should be unrelated as they is no direct communication. Deleting the boundary/group and re-add them.

  • The web site of Adobe does not show correctly in FireFox

    I have a bizarre problem.  The site of Adobe (including where I can download the flash player) does not show correctly in FireFox and I only see it as a text HTML page, but without most images (typically, for instance, I do not see the image "Download now" but see a text line "Dowload now", and so on...
    This seems to specifically affect the Adobe web site as I have no problme for other web sites (so far).
    It is something specific to FireFox as  I do have the problem with Internet Explorer.
    The problem persis even if I restart FireFox without any add-on (safe mode).
    Any suggestion ?

    Does this only happen in Firefox?  What do you see with Internet Explorer or Chrome?  If it is only Firefox, I'd try these steps in this order:
    1. Clear your cookies and cache
    2. Reset your Firefox settings
    3. Make a new profile

  • Libsyn hosted podcast episodes not showing up.

    I understand there may be a glitch happening but I've waited over a week now and it hasn't sorted itself out yet. My feed is fine in other podcast catchers but the episodes don't show in iTunes. Thanks for any help, guys.
    Thank you!
    -Mike
    Podcast info below:
    Your podcast, located at http://getoffmypodcast.libsyn.com/rss, has been approved. You should expect to see it on the iTunes Store within the next few hours. When it's available, you will be able to access it with the URL below.
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/get-off-my-podcast-harrison/id873113856
    You will be able to find your podcast through a search on the iTunes Store within the next two days.

    Your feed works OK when subscribing in iTunes, but if you look at the iTunes Store in iTunes (as opposed to the web page version) you will see that it says '2 items' but is not showing any. This is a long-standing intermittent bug in the Store, not a problem with your feed, and I'm afraid there isn't anything you can do about it. It will probably sort itself out in a few days.

  • How do  find the number of visits to my iweb site hosted on mobile me?

    can you please tell me how to monitor the number of hits to my iweb site?
    thanks
    david swann

    If you would like to know, in addition to the number of visitors, where they are from, what size monitor they used, what site they came from to get to your site, what browser they used,  what system they were using and more then try a 3rd party counter. 
    I use StatCounter which give all that info an more.  This tutorial describes how to add the counter to each page via an HTML snippet: #13 - Adding a StatCounter as an HTML Snippet

  • Can't publish my iWeb site - has index file something to do with it?

    Hi, I've been trying to publish my iWeb site (not on a .Mac account but through ftp upload) but it hasn't worked out so far... I phoned my webspace provider's support service and the wguy I spoke to was convinced that it's due to the index file not being an .html file (he thought that the problem lies with the index.xml.gz file). Searching the discussions on this site, I figure that this isn't what's causing the problem after all...
    To continue working on the site while using another computer, I copied the 'Domain' over. Now that I've brought it back to the original computer, it seems to be causing these problems. Any idas what I could do or where the problem lies? I'd be really grateful for any hints as it's driving me 'round the bend! Cheers, A

    Did you name any of your site's pages "index"?  That can cause problems.
    Are you able to publish your site to afolder on your hard drive and open it locally with your browser?  If you haven't tried  do so and see if you can.  If you can and the site works as you designed it then the issue is in the uploading of the files.
    In that case you might try using  Cyberduck to upload your site folder and  index.html file to your server.

  • New customised buttons do not show but deleted old buttons still available

    I have changed some of my customised buttons but it still shows the old buttons which I have deleted from the buttons folder and does not show my new buttons. This is after restarting Captivate and restarting the computer.

    Should they be images, or ordinary text buttons?
    There are several reasons that images might not be visible on a page. Did you find this article in the process of posting your question? [[Fix problems that cause images to not show]].
    If you want to post a couple of addresses and point out which buttons are the problem, we could take a quick look and see whether that provides any more insights.
    More generally, when you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

    I am using Snow Leopard on a MacBook. I have an iPod touch 3G. I do not use iSync it Mobile Me. When I sync my iPod through iTunes new events on my iPod do not show up on my Mac and old events do not delete. I have read help instructions that include deleting the data on the iPod. The iPod has the correct data and the Mac does not so I have not followed those instructions. I need help as the only reason I bought the Mac was to be able to sync, back up, view and print my calendar. Currently it is useless. If only Apple could have learned from the elegance of the Palm software.

    Truly need copies to "Sent Box", Thanks for help!!
    Also try to set up "BIS" accout, error message said:

    Thanks you,

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    So for the mail issue seems sending myself a copy is the only way to go, right?
    That would be a solution.
    And about the BIS, my try was on a PC, it didnt work...  Anyway, i was going to log on to the BIS to work on my issue above, but seems it doesnt help now, so it doesnt matter if i can sign up or not.
    Well, that's entirely odd...I just used that link myself (from a PC) and get into my BIS account just fine. You can, however, use the device interface to BIS -- watch that demo I provided you above for instructions on that. BIS is merely a service, provided by your carrier. The PC/website method and the device interface -- those are simply two different interfaces into the same service, so using one or the other doesn't matter...they result in the same thing.
    Good luck!
