One .Mac account, 2 iWeb Sites, 2 Computers.

Ok, I know a lot of questions have been asked about how to manage multiple sites, but I can't seem to find any information about 2 people sharing one .Mac account.
My husband and I share a .Mac account. We each have our own Apple laptops. We each want our own iWeb site.
Everytime I create a site, it takes over the one that he already created from HIS computer, and vice versa.
There doesn't seem to be a way for both of us to have our own sites on one account from 2 separate computers. SO FRUSTRATING.
Any help would be great, and try to leave as much technical jargon out of it. I'm a self-proclaimed idiot when it comes to computers.
Thanks, everyone.

Neisha,
Another way to achieve what mp is talking about is for you and your husband to each create a one page "site" in iWeb and move it to the top of your site organizer. Put links (image or text) on that page to direct those who visit your short url to the correct site. I would recommend that you each have slightly different names for this site and page.
You can see an example of what I'm talking about http://web.mac.com/hoovmoss/iWeb/" target="_blank">here.
If you plan on building additional sites and splitting the domain files on one or more of the laptops to do it, though, you are probably better off using the method that mp suggested above.
I've been keeping a sites index "site" at the top of each domain file (I have one for each site on the index page), but I'm beginning to find that inconvenient, as I plan on adding at least one more site. Someday soon I'll create a domain file containing only a sites index and then manually replace the index.html file in my idisk as necessary to keep the site index linked to my short url.
If this is more confusing than helpful, let me know and I'll see if I can be a little clearer.

One mac account, two computers

I have one mac account and two computers. When I get up in the morning, I check my email. When I come to the office I recheck my email.
With my pop account through my ISP, my mail downloads at both places.
With my mac account, once I view it at home, I cannot see it at the office. Is there a way to resolve this issue.
What am I doing wrong?

it's IMAP. then it really should show the same messages on both computers. you can try rebuilding the mobileme inbox (mailbox menu->rebuild). but mobileme is a weird animal and is handled separately from all other accounts in Mail. I don't use mobileme so can't comment further on this, sorry. maybe somebody else who does can chime in or you could try the mobileme forum.

2 Site in one .mac account

Can iWeb publish 2 sites in one .mac account?
Example:
Site 1
http://web.mac.com/myaccount/iWeb/Site/Welcome.html
Site 2
http://web.mac.com/myaccount/iWeb/Site2/Welcome.html (protected with password)
Can anyone advise me? Thanks

How do you keep the two sites seperate?
Do you have two Domain.sites files?
If you have them in seperate folders, see this thread:

One .mac account, 4 computers - does screen sharing work?

Hi there,
I have one .mac account, however I have multiple computers running Leopard at home. Is it possible to have multiple ichat accounts on one single .mac account? Or do I have to get a .mac account for each computer of the household in order to be able to have them as separate entities on my contact list and therefore share the screen?
If it's possible with one .mac account, how would I have to set up my machines?
Thanks for information,
Christoph

Hi Tony,
I am trying to access one of the machines from the outside. (I've installed a port forwarding accordingly). Would that mean I'd have to setup a VPN?

Multiple users on computer - one .mac account

ok, I've seen other posts addressing similar issues, but not this specific one:
I have two users on my computer and one .Mac account. I would like each user to be able to edit and post to the same website using iWeb.
I thought that I could move the Domains.sites file to a shared location, but I can find no way of pointing iWeb to that location and then remembering that location later.
any thoughts??

This might not be the right way but since I was having similar issues today, this something that worked.
I placed the domain.site file on my time capsule and the Imac which I created the pages with remembered the site.
On my mac mini I can access the site it if I open the domain.site file directly using the finder and it will then open iweb on my mac mini. If I open iweb directly, it seems to remember previous iweb sites that I created but not the current one.
Hope this helps.
If anyone else has another way please let us know.

Create on 2 different Macs with one .mac account different websides

I have 2 Macs at different places, I have one .mac-account and I liked to create and publish websides independently on both Macs (for example: I have all my regular websides on my Mac at home, but when I am in my weekend-house, I liked eventually to take some pictures concerning a problem which just arouse, publish it on a quickly created webside and call a friend, so that he is able to have a look at this new webside and give me a comment).
Is it possible to do this without erasing my regular websides that I had already published on my home-Mac ?

I think it should work fine, as long as you give the sites different names.

Can I photocast to more than one .Mac account?

Is there a way for me to choose which .Mac I'd like to photocast to from iPhoto? I have more than one .Mac account and would like to share different albums to different .Mac accounts.

I believe that iPhoto uses the account which you have entered in the .Mac section of the System Preferences
In order to make iPhoto use the other account it seems like you will need to change the details in the .Mac Preferences

Two apple TVs, one Mac account

I have two ATVs in two separate houses but one mac account. if i buy content on one ATV, i do not seem to be able to see it on the other. I am guessing this is not allowed which is annoying but typical. However, if i buy on ATV - can i see that same content on my laptop (i seem to be able) and iphone (does not seem to be there)??
What are the rules? Or have i made an error?
for reference, the content i bought is a TV series so i keep getting the updates on my itunes account but not the ATV nor iphone (which connects to the laptop).

Niel, thanks for your reply. i cannot get your thread to open, i will try again later. I see it as http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1860 so let me know if not.
I have sync'd the ATV though I think (will confirm when i can load that page). I get the content I bought on my itunes account. So, I bought/ordered the TV show on ATV and it automatically downloads on my itunes account (i have actually stopped that now as i would prefer to get it on the ATV if i must choose). Once on my itunes on my PC i can see it on my sync'd iPhone but not on the ATV.
I would have thought that (ideally) it just comes up in "my tv shows" but, if necessary, i would have to buy it again and when i tried, it just gives me the message like on "applications" that says "you have already bought this, do you want to download it again". However, it does not, i need to buy it again.
I understand copyright issues but i would have thought that, as a minimum, i should be able to share purchased content like music, across five different machines.
Maybe this is will all be resolved once i can load that link you gave me - will keep trying.
thanks, jon.

Ichat with one .mac account

My wife and I have one .mac account. Can we both use ichat at the same time to talk to each other or do we need two seperate accounts.

You do need 2 accounts, but you can either get a free AIM screen-name or a free .mac account (a free-trial account will still work for chatting after the trial period).
Check this tutorial for how you get free AIM names:

Multiple Sites, Multiple Domains, one .mac account?

So, is this possible? Can you create multiple sites in iWeb, save them to a .mac account, and then purchase domain names for each of those sites and have one assigned to each? I'm assuming no, but I'm seeing if someone knows how or someone has some workaround to keep it on .mac, but have multiple domain names for my sites?
Thanks!!

So, is this possible?
No.
Can you create multiple sites in iWeb, save them to a .mac account, and then purchase domain names for each of those sites and have one assigned to each?
Yes and no. While .Mac does offer Domain name hosting in the form of a CNAME alias, only one Domain name is available per .Mac account. .Mac is not a registrar for multiple Domains. You can host multiple sites on your .Mac account, but if you desire a 'Domain name' for each site, you will need to purchase the Domains from a registrar like Yahoo, GoDaddy, 1&1, etc, and then forward these Domains to the appropriate sites, hosted on your .Mac account.
I'm assuming no, but I'm seeing if someone knows how or someone has some workaround to keep it on .mac, but have multiple domain names for my sites?
The "workaround" would be to utilize Domain forwarding from a Domain name registrar, using the .Mac urls for the forwarding address(es).

Autoforward one page in iWeb site to .Mac gallery?

Does anyone know if there is a way to have one of your iWeb pages autoforward to another site? I would like my "Picture" page in my iWeb site to automatically forward to my .Mac gallery, rather than force people to have to click the link.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you!

Here's another way to do it and it will be automatic, no viewer effort required: add the following code to the head portion of your Pictures page after publishing it:
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://www.the-domain-you-want-to-redirect-to.com">.
Replace the “0” with the number of seconds you would like to pass before the redirection takes place. Put in the URL of your destination site.
Any time you make changes to that particular page or use the Publish All to MobileMe you will have to reedit that page. This page demonstrates the effect.
The demo is set to go to another page in the site but you can send the visitor to any URL you desire.

How to ichat between two computers with one .mac account

My husband and I travel a lot separately and need to be able to ichat when one of us is away.
We have an iMac at home, and an iBook on the road (both about a year old with the latest software updated). We tried using an AIM account on one and our .mac account on the other which worked once, but now we can't seem to get it to work.
Can anyone help us with this?
Thanks very much.

One .Mac account, several computers

I have a .Mac account. I travel and want to use ichat to communicate with my wife. I have 2 iMac's and a Macbook Pro. How can i chat with my wife when I am on the road and use my .mac account. Do I have to set up an AIM account for her or can I use my .mac account. Do I have to buy another .Mac account?
Thanks for any help.

Hi
Get separate accounts.
Free 60day trial(click on free trial on the top) here http://www.apple.com/dotmac/ keep your .mac name(for iChat) after the 60days.
or free AIM name here http://www.aim.com/ click on "get a screen name" no need to use their software.

ISyncing multiple accounts under one .Mac account

I have one 5 user .Mac account with three emails. I am syncing my account with email fine between 3 computers, iPod and cell phone.
I wanted to have my wife be able to sync her mail, address book, etc. under her account as well, but when I activated her account to sync, it seems that all the mail got lumped together under both accounts. We want to keep it separate between accounts, just synced separately.
Is it possible to do this? Thanks.

This is not possible if you wish to prevent each other from seeing the other's email? If you set both email account up in Mail, they will have separate Inboxes (seen by clicking on the small black triangle to expand to show each one), and if you enter the Gmail SMTP twice, taking care each time to give it a different name, and use each account respective email address to Authenticate it, then they will coexist nicely, but not with complete privacy.
Complete privacy is only available with separate User Accounts. In one User Account the underlying files could be read even if two Mail folders were allowed.

IChat opens in my .mac account on both computers

What the heck did I do??
I use my .mac account on my iMac, and my wife use's her AIM account on the macBook, and we use iChat alot when I travel. Last week I set up "sync" using my .Mac account, and sync'd the 2 computers, now when we open iChat on either mac, they both open in my account, and my wife shows up on both computers as a "buddy",
How do I redo it, so my wife aim account opens on hers, so we can chat?

Ok , followed what you suggested
"highlight your account and untick "use this account" I did that, but that account and one that says "Bonjour" are the only accounts there, my wife account does not show up to select, and my .Mac account has a blue ball "sync" ? next to it, how can I add her account to use.
when I do the same on the iMac, the same thing shows
thanks for the help
