Personal Domain still linked to MobileMe

I have my personal domain set to forward to my facebook account. However, since it use to be linked to an iWeb-designed webpage, it still seems to be linked to MobileMe for some reason. I deleted the personal domain option from my MobileMe account but for some reason everytime I go to my personal domain it says I'm linked to Me.com. Any suggestions?

Have you deleted the site itself from your iDisk/MobileMe account?
Have you been to your domain name registrar and deleted the CNAME settings that you set up when you first used your domain name with MobileMe? If not, then you need to go back and do this. It is not just your MobileMe account that you need to alter.

Problem with iWeb after associating a personal domain name with my MobileMe

I think I did this by the book. I associated my personal domain name with my MobileMe account, then changed the CName pointer at GoDaddy to MobileMe (MM), then went back to MM and hit 'Done'. iWeb now lists my MM account as 'My account name (personal domain name). It took a little while for the DNS pointer to propogate, but now I can go to a browser, type in my personal domain name, and MM delivers my iWeb website as I wanted it to, apparently from my domain, not web.me.com. The problem is, as soon as the DNS propogated, MM delivers my MM site OK, but iWeb can't find the files for it anymore. All my pages immediately went red (unpublished) when I tried to update the site, and any attempt to Publish gives me this error "iWeb couldn’t connect to MobileMe. Make sure your Internet connection works and try again." I'm cable connected to an ADSL router, and Airport connected to a cable router, and neither service has dropped out. I've rebooted, and retried, and the website is up under my own domain, so GoDaddy and MM both got it right. What did I do wrong? Thanks, someone... anyone?

This is now sort of resolved, but not very satisfactorily. One of the trainers at my local Appple Store found an old support issue in the archives going back to 2008, which blamed security settings for update problems. Coincidental with associating MobileMe with my personal domain, I had checked the privacy box and added an ID and PW to the site. That was the problem, not the personal domain, that was preventing iWeb from finding my MM account. Uncheck that box and my site happily updates. Of course, now I have a site that I cannot make private. In this case, not a show-stopper, but disappointing. I have reported it as a bug in the latest version of iWeb. Thanks for your help.

My personal domain just links to my MobileMe, not my published site - any ideas?

I set up a personal domain via dreamhost to use for me MobileMe hostest iWeb site. I have published my website, and when I click "visit site" it takes me there, but to the web.me.com/blablahblah address. When I navigate to my domain address, it asks me for my mobile me username and password instead of taking me to the public site. When I enter those anyway, it just loads up me MobileMe homepage.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Have you carried out both stages of setting up Personal Domain? -
1. At your ISP, change the CNAME to web.me.com
2. At http://me.com/account , click Personal Domain in the sidebar and enter the domain name without the www.
It sounds as if you have omitted step 2. I'm assuming you haven't passwprd-protected your web site. Note that domain.com may work and www.domain.com not work, or vice versa, depending on how your domain name provider works.

Personal Domain Names in iWeb/MobileMe?

Why is it that MobileMe will now not accept UK domain names? I have a .co.uk domain name and can no longer use it with the new MMe.
When I first started to use iWeb and .Mac I purchased a UK domain name and had it entered in the personal domain name section and .Mac accepted it with no problem at all and I had my site redirected using the CNAME option for a long time.
Now .Mac has become MobileMe, it will no longer accept UK domain names, only domains ending in .com, .net, .org etc. Due to this, I can no longer use the personal domain name option of my MMe account and I did not want to re-direct to my domain using web forwarding so have had to publish my site to a folder and ftp up to my host server space. Now I don't mind doing this, as it does not take that long and the whole site loads more quickly anyway, but I would just like to know why MMe does not now accept UK domain names now when .Mac always used to?
This is irritating because it means that I am not able to use my MMe account to the full and as I live and work in the UK it did seem more appropriate to purchase a UK domain name rather than a .com or a .net.
Perhaps Apple should look at this again, as not accepting UK domain names excludes a lot of British users!!

What the heck is wrong with some people on this site! The guy was simply asking for advice!
I got a similar snotty reply from someone in a post I made in which I was simply asking for advice from other users.
I thought this was a SUPPORT Forum? Sheesh!
Anyway, I am glad that Ethmoid posted about MobileMe and the problem with it and .co.uk domains. I was thinking of signing up to MobileMe and using iWeb for my blog and having it redirected to a .ie domain. But if this problem keeps up then it looks like I won't.
Happy happy forum!

How does 1Web Personal Domain really work with MobileMe?

I'm reading the steps of iMap and the author says "If you domain forward or mask to your .Mac (MobileMe) address, please always use the .Mac (MobileMe) address and not your own domain!" It seems to me that anyone who registers a personal domain name must domain forward or mask. If these instructions are correct, how would one's own domain name ever appear?

It seems to me that anyone who registers a personal domain name must domain forward or mask.
That's not correct. iWeb's personal domain feature is designed to use CNAME pointing.

Personal Domains, MobileMe and GoDaddy

Hi everyone,
I have purchased the domain for my personal Portfolio website through GoDaddy,
I followed the online instructions to add the domain to my Iweb through MobileMe, with it all saved whenever I try going onto my site (OllieHoff.co.uk) it just brings me to the Godaddy website. Anyone know where I have gone wrong?
Thanks!

Well, did you do everything that is needed? It is not only at MobileMe that you need to make changes. These need to be done at GoDaddy too.
Also, you don't add the domain to iWeb - iWeb is just what you use to create the site. You enter the domain name into the personal domain name settings at MobileMe where the site is published.
You then need to log into your account at GoDaddy and go to the DNS settings and you need to set the CNAME to web.me.com and it should then work.
You need to do both because you are effectively linking your domain name at GoDaddy with you website that is published to MobileMe/the Apple servers.

Newbie Question Alert! Personal Domains...

Hi,
I have a domain which is only really used as a placeholder for my email account - set up as an IMAP account and hosted online to protect me from virus attack.
Although the domain is not hosted by the email company (it's actually hosted by 1and1) is it conceivable for this domain to be hosted by my MobileMe account and still keep the hosted email function?
I appreciate I would need to change the tags, etc., but I don't think this will be too much of an issue.
Thank you,
Pete

Yes, you can use your domain name with iWeb in your MobileMe account, but it does not host your domain name in that sense - what you actually do is enter your domain name into your personal domain name settings at MobileMe and link your domain name to MMe. You need to set up CNAME forwarding also at your domain name registrar and that is how you link the two together.

Remove Personal Domain from MMe

I have added a Personal Domain to a MMe account. However, the domain transfer process is going to take a few more days, because of the grace period built into the process. As soon as I added the personal domain name in MMe (I have not clicked the "Done" button.) all of the page icons in iWeb turned red, indicating they needed to be republished. I have not republished. I can still get to my site using the web.me.com/username address, of course. I have made a a number of changes that I would like to publish.
Do I need to wait until the domain transfer process has been completed? I have not done anything to point the domain name to the MMe site at either the previous or future registrar.
Can I remove the Personal Domain from MMe until the domain process has been completed, and manage the site as before? If so, how do I do this?
If I go ahead and republish with the domain name in the MMe account (before the transfer process has been completed, and with the personal domain still associated with the account) can I still access it using the web.me.com/username address?
Thanks...

Log into your MME account and go to the Personal Domain option. It has remove on the right side and just click on that to remove it.
Whether your domain name is linked to your site or not, you can always get to your site by using the url web.me.com/username/sitename.
If you are using iWeb, then your site will always only ever be published to your iDisk and MME and not your domain - it is only an illusion because your domain name is forwarded to your MME account.

IWeb own domain name blocked on MobileMe

Dear Apple experts,
I had a website created via iweb, hosted at apple with its own domain name www.onetobe.be I didn't manage this myself and the person who do it forgot to cancel the site before mobileme closure and even if the CNAME has been modified at the registrar, the domain still point to mobileme. The new web site works with the root name onetobe.be but any configuration I set at the registrar give either mobileme closed page or nothing. Who can I contact to cancel all registration of this site on apple system.
Thank you

Dear Wyodor,
Thank you for your swift and polite answer, I'm not an expert, So sorry if I look like a "rtfm" guy, but this is the reason why I asked for help.
I'm a great apple fan and I was very sad when apple turned down these so useful and easy services such as iweb, idisk, gallery. It seems to me that the "digital me" concept of late M. Job is, well, changing now.
the new web site system for my site (wix) seems to give kind of the same option as redirecting the own domain name to the actual real web site at this wix provider.
If I set the forwarding for onetobe.be to only http://oliviervanhorenbek0.wix.com/onetobe it doesn't work
So I'll asked the registrar how I can un-masquerade the www.onetobe.be.
Any additionnal info for how I can configure the domain "properly" will help me.
Thank you again for your time.

Favicon and Apple-touch-icon on a person domain.

I've just set up Zyber17.com and I was wondering how to set up a favicon and an apple-touch-icon, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm sure this has been answered before...
Facts (in case it makes a difference):
-I registered with 1and1
-I'm using it as a personal domain inside of the MobileMe settings (which means I changed the CNAME on my 1and1 control panel)
-I don't mind tinkering with HTML, and JavaScript.
Thanks in advance!

As long as you don't have domain name masking you can use the method described in Old Toad's Tutorial #22 - Adding a Favicon to Your Web Site. If you're not publishing to MobileMe just pic a different location for the favicon to reside and link to it there.

Publishing iWeb Site on a Personal Domain

Hi,
I'm having a lot of trouble publishing my site to a personal domain. I am using iWeb 08 and am publishing via MobileMe and domains.com is my host. For some reason, I just can't get the site to publish on my personal domain. My personal domain is registered on MobileMe and the CNAME is programmed into the domains.com DNS management area. What's going on that's not allowing it to appear?? The site is just blank...please help!

Works fine for me too, but not if you place the www before your domain name. If you want this too, you may need to go back to your DNS settings and set up a new CNAME for your domain name that includes the www part too, but only if you want to.

Personal domain on MobileMe, repetitive URL addresses and personal site?

Okay, this may be two topics, but I don't know how to describe it briefly enough for the subject line to get it all across. At least not at the end of a long day.
I have a website I designed and published via iWeb '09 promoting my home motorcycle service. I have the domain name registered through GoDaddy.com. I followed the instructions posted in another thread linked to GoDaddy's MobileMe instructions, and also used MobileMe's personal domain instructions to the point where it appears to work, but I still feel like I'm doing something wrong. The domain name is below.
www.bltmoto.com
However, when you type this into a browser, it forwards to my PERSONAL site which is also in the same iWeb file, which is basically just a blog and some pictures. It takes you to:
http://www.bltmoto.com/crat/HQ.html
...when I'm trying to get it to bring up this content:
http://www.bltmoto.com/BLTMotoService/Home.html
I was under the assumption that my personal site would remain located within the web.me.com domain, but it appears not if it's part of the same iWeb file. Is this correct? So hypothetically, if I was to get a domain name for my personal site, like www.chrisratledge.com, or whatever, could I get it to work independently of my moto service site within the same iWeb file? Would I have to duplicate the file and delete one of the other ones to keep them separate, or would that not work either? In other words, in iWeb, when you choose "New Site," will it always be like a subdomain (don't know if I'm using that nomenclature correctly) on your account?
Also, is there a way to truncate my URLs for these sites? Like when I type in www.bltmoto.com, it would exist and displays in the URL field of the browser as:
http://www.bltmoto.com/Home.html
instead of:
http://www.bltmoto.com/BLTMotoService/Home.html
Also, the page names in iWeb I designate also appear directly as typed in the URL address line and at the top of the browser title bar. Is there a way in iWeb to change this? I'd like the Title bar to display the company name and page info, such as:
"BLT Moto Service Home"
instead of just
"Home"
Is there a way to change or modify this within iWeb, or is this strictly a HTML code modification?
I know this is a lot and hopefully I've been clear enough in my description, please help if you can. Thank you

...the site that you have published first will be connected to your domain name....If the first site is published first, then this will be the first linked to your domain name and will come up.
Okay, I figured that may be the case for that issue, shortly after I asked the question, just didn't mess with the order to verify it.
Basically, iWeb site structure is to produce a url that is http://www.domain.com/sitename/pagename. The only way that you can change this if you are publishing to MME is to change the way in which you forward your domain name - change CNAME to ordinary web forwarding and then your url will be http://www.domain.com for every single page of your site. The only draw back to this is that individual pages of your site cannot be bookmarked, just the whole site.
Hmm, so I think I see what you're saying about the page structure, so no matter what I do while publishing and hosting on MME, the only way to have my domain name stay "www.bltmoto.com" is to change the CNAME setting on GoDaddy to "ordinary web forwarding" - I have no idea what that is or how to do it - but then every single site and page I publish will only have the "www.bltmoto.com" URL?
Your only other option is to purchase a hosting account from GoDaddy and upload your site directly - if you do this you can upload just the contents of your site folder rather than the whole folder itself and this will then give you the domain name www.domain.com/pagename. RSS feed will not work though, as you have broken iWeb's site structure and I see that you do use this so it might not be a viable option for you.
So is there no way to create separate websites with separate domains using iWeb, and publish them to other MME accounts or keep them separate? My dad wants me to put together a site for him that he would publish and host on his MME account. Does this mean I'd have to create it on his machine, or could I create a new iWeb file for his site and publish it to his account from my computer? Suddenly the convenience appeal of the marketed ability to host personal domain names on MME doesn't seem convenient at all.
I think maybe you addressed this on my other questions in another thread...

Personal domain hosted at MobileMe - but not showing up.

You guys have already helped me out so much on this forum, so thank you.
Here's the problem. Several days ago, I transferred my domain to MobileMe and changed the CNAME info at Network Solutions (my domain registrar). But for some reason, when I visit:
www.barrycooper.com
I'm still getting the Network Solutions "under construction" page, rather than my iWeb site. When I checked Network Solutions, I note that only the CNAME alias has changed (to web.me.com.barrycooper.com). The IP Address fields all point to the under construction page.
Any idea what I might have done wrong here?

Firstly, you have not transferred your domain to MobileMe - Apple does not host domain names, only websites, so you domain name registrar still controls your domain name - i.e. Network Solutions - Apple just host your site and not your domain name.
What you decided to do was to link the two, so you have forwarded your domain to your MME hosted website.
To get it to work, you need to log into your MobileMe account and enter your domain name under the personal domain name settings.
You then need to go to Network Solutions and select your DNS settings. The alias for your CNAME should be your domain name - www and @ and then this should be forwarded to your host web.me.com. What you have there at present is incorrect so it will not work. Go and change these settings and it should work.

IWeb hanging at logging into MobileMe (Personal Domain Problem)

I've searched and searched for an answer to my problem all over the internet and these forums and keep coming up blank.
Apologies if the answer is somewhere and I've missed it.
It could be a wider problem with my MobileMe, but iWeb is where it first occurred.
I recently had my personal website forwarding to my MobileMe site, and was using the MobileMe webspace to host my site. I had set my personal domain (in MobileMe) to the personal website. Why I did this I'm not sure, as I wasn't actually using the external webspace, merely forwarding it to my MobileMe site.
However I then decided I wanted to create a new site and this is where the problems began to occur. When I tried to publish the new site, it seemingly tried to publish to personaldomain/new_website name/ which obviously didn't exist as there was no external webspace there.
I then decided to reset everything, get rid of the personal domain setting within MobileMe and just merely forward my external web addresses to my Me sites. Upon deleting my Personal Domain from the mobileme settings page and logging into iWeb, the website name next to my username was still my external website address, and iWeb seemed to think it was all still published (which it was, as when I went to my web.me.com/etc, my website was there) However I wanted to start from scratch and republish everything, so I deleted all the web/sites section from my idisk, and hoped I could republish everything (this could have been a mistake!)
Now when I try to publish, iWeb just hangs at logging into MobileMe and won't publish anything. iPhoto also won't upload new photo albums and neither will aperture. They just hang at syncing galleries.
I'm completely at a loss as to how to proceed. I've deleted preferences from iweb and also logged out of mobileme, put a fake name in and logged back in again (to clear the cache I think) and still iweb hangs. I've even tried creating a new user account and logging in there and still it hangs.
Apologies for the essay of a post, if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Just some suggestions as to where to go would be helpful. I'm wondering if it's something to do with Keychains? I had a brief look in there but it all went over my head. This is the first problem I've ever had with my new mac, and being from a PC background, don't really know where to look to fix things.
Thanks in advance to people who even get through reading the entire post!

After waiting a day for the rolling restore to happen, I called AppleCare because Apple had sent an email saying my service was back, and it wasn't. I still could send and not receive using Mail.
Here is what fixed it. Go to MobileMe (terrible name) in System Preferences, log out. Then enter a garbage name and password and try to log in. This apparently clears the MobileMe preferences. Then enter your real UserName and PassWord. For me this was lights on.
I am left wondering how long ago I could have had email had I known this preference reset scheme.
Although for a different MMe issue it will clear out the MMe login info so you can enter everything anew and give it a fresh start.

Adding mobileme gallery content in iWeb with a personal domain

I've been building gorgeous looking pages in iWeb this year which I have attached to a personal domain.
I'm having trouble adding a movie that I have published on my mobileme gallery as widget is telling me there is nothing available. Could this be because I have iWeb pointed towards my own domain even though it's hosted by mobileme?
I'm confused and really want to add this video as something over than through a hyperlink.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul.

Paul:
If you have a MMe gallery that you want separate from the others but still have viewable in an iWeb site and page set its setting in iPhoto to be hidden from the rest of the gallery:
Click to view full size
Visit the gallery online and copy it's URL address. Add that address to iFrame code in an HTML snippet as I've done in this demo page: MobileMe Galleries and Quicktime Movies (the code is shown on the page). You can set the gallery to disiplay in any of the availablemodes, grid, mosaic, etc., by using the URL for that mode.
The visitor can view the gallery but will not be able to go to your other galleries. Just a way to post a single gallery to your web page.
