Published website on Macs but not PCs

Hello,
I have published my personal website created with iWeb '08 to .Mac (http://web.mac.com/juliusliptak/JELK/Welcome.html). I can open this site on my iMac and MacBook, but not any PCs at work. When trying to open on a PC, I get the error message from Apple saying that this website address is not known.
How can I see my websites on Macs and not PCs? How do I fix this?
Thanks,
Julius

I'm dying to know this too.
A few friends can't access my iWeb/.Mac site through IE on PCs.
I've been getting them to download Mozilla Firefox as it apparently works perfectly on there.
Tbh I hate Microsoft with a passion and am pretty much free of it myself but shouldn't have to
try and cenvert every PC user single-handed.
There must be something we can do to fix this... I thought the sites were just HTML?

  • Whole workgroup (SMB) dies for Macs but not PCs

    Hello all,
    I'm having a very frustrating problem with a mixed Mac (Snow Leopard, all latest updates) and PC (Vista/XP) home network. Normally everything works fine and I can share files and printers between the Macs and PCs (i.e. this is not a simple configuration or permissions issue).
    However, when I try to do a large (~500MB or so) file transfer from any Mac to any PC (wired or wireless, doesn't matter), the WHOLE workgroup dies for all Macs on the network. When I say the whole workgroup, I mean all the Macs lose access to any machine in the SMB workgroup (i.e. WORKGROUP or whatever all the machines are set to). Specifically, this is what happens:
    - All SMB shares immediately stop working on all Macs (transfers in progress are cut off)
    - All Macs and all PCs can still access the internet just fine and can still ping each other, so it isn't like the network connections have physically died or the router froze, etc.
    - Using Finder Go > Connect to server, none of the Macs can access any SMB share on the network, either by name (smb://pc-name) or by IP address (smb://1.2.3.4). Doing so results in an immediate "Connection failed" message (i.e. it doesn't time out or stall, it just fails instantly)
    - Windows machines can continue to access all SMB shares (including Mac shares) just fine! Just not vice versa.
    Here are some things I've tried so far:
    - Rebooting any/all Macs does NOT clear up the issue. It's as if the whole SMB workgroup is stuck in a "corrupt" state which is not cleared by rebooting the Macs.
    - Switching from wired to wireless or vice versa doesn't help.
    - Turning ALL machines off, waiting a while, then turning all back on again clears the problem, but only until the next large file transfer.
    - Changing the workgroup name on all machines temporarily solves it until the next large file transfer (but this requires rebooting all the PCs which is a huge hassle).
    - Tried clean reinstalling Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on several of the Macs -- no change.
    - Clean reinstalled Vista on several of the PCs -- no change.
    - Changed the internet/WiFi router for a different brand (now using DD-WRT) -- no change.
    - Changed the Ethernet switches to different brands and used new Ethernet cables to each wired machine -- no change.
    I'm not a networking guru but I'm a software developer and have been running a mixed Windows/Linux/Mac home network for some time now, so I'm not a novice either. This is one of the more frustrating problems I've ever faced.
    If anyone has ANY ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I am not a network guru either, but perhaps if you set the Macs' network ports to jumbo packets, the problem might be fixed. Information on how to do that is available in this web page http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21333?viewlocale=en_US
    Also, if that doesn't help, you might need to get or borrow a fluke and start packet tracing some of the network connections. Maybe there is a bad or misconfigured hub or switch in your network fabric. Flukes are expensive though, so an alternative might be to find a packet sniffer for the Mac or Windows and start sniffing packets during one of those problematic file transfers. This might point you to an underlying hardware problem or misconfiguration in how your network is configured.

  • Can connect with Macs but not PCs - iChat 2.1 OSX 10.3.9

    Hi, I am having problems connecting to PCs but can connect to other Macs fine. I have ploughed through as much of the correspondance on here as I can find but with no luck. Would I be right in assuming that if I can connect OK to another Mac (with .mac name or AIM name) my settings should be OK?
    Cheers,
    Mike

    Hi Mike
    Try me and see, defcom1 .mac account.
    Has the PC side-up ok, see for set-up http://www.mvldesign.com/videoconferencetutorial.html#xp they must be using AIM5.9 and not AIM Triton

  • Web graphic links work on Mac, but not PC

    I have two websites. The old one is DogToysAndTreats.com. The new one is FunStuffForDogs.com. I need to change the home page graphic on both of them to point to my shopping cart pages. I have done this and published the changes on both sites. It works on my Mac but not on my PC.
    On www.funstufffordogs.com, the graphic at the top with the bulldogs is supposed to link to http://store.funstufffordogs.com/storefront.aspx. Same thing on www.dogtoysandtreats.com. It works on my Mac in both Safari and Chrome. On my PC, it doesn't work on IE, Safari or Firefox. (BTW, I haven't worked on any of the other links until I can figure out how to do it properly.)
    I don't get why the platform has anything to do with it.

    Looking at your source, the problem may be that the images refer to an external server link from the one actually hosting the website page.  Whenever you try to mix servers on a single page, you depend on the network connectivity being reliable to all the servers simultaneously.  This can be as much a problem on a Mac as a PC.  Sometimes routers have bad router tables, or internet providers do, and this can cause issues for multiserver websites.  Using on your router & network settings an OpenDNS DNS server can help:

  • Movie works on mac but not PC...help!

    Hi!
    Hopefully someone out there can help me...
    I am trying to make a video play on a website that I designed. The video will play on a mac, but not a PC. When the user clicks on the link, the video (.mov) should start playing in whatever media player that computer has installed, either quicktime or windows media player. It isn't working on a PC. Maybe if I convert the video file to a windows media file or to a file that is easier read my a PC it would work? I don't know how to convert quicktime files into .wmv files.
    help!!!
    if you want to see the video, click on the "reel" link of www.williamday.net, then click on "reel" again in the middle of the page.

    The problem is your page code (or lack of it).
    You are directly linking to the file and bypassing any browser plug-in.

  • I-pod touch works on a Mac but not a PC

    Please help! My I-pod touch works on a Mac but not a PC. When hooked up to a PC, the device is not recognized in I-tunes message, says I-pod in recovery mode and to restore, after checking update and restore, receive unknown error message (9). Have tried unistaling and reinstalling I-tunes, using different USB ports, creating new user, restarting computer, using different PC, and trying to reset by holding sleep/wake and home buttons all to no avail, very, very frustrated, everything is fine on a Mac!!

    I have CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2010, version 6.0.0.264.
    I was wondering about that one in particular.
    Try configuring you CA as per kalda01's instructions in this post:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10525876#10525876
    (Sometimes switching the security software off doesn't help, but doing the configuration does help. Not sure what's afoot with that, but it has happened with other security-package problems with iTunes in the past.)

    If time machine puts all of my photos onto my external hard drive using time machine, can I then delete the photos from my computer but view them again from the external hard drive? Basically, can I free up space on my mac but not lose years of photos?

    To add to Niel's comment bear in mind that if you have a backup copy on an external HD and later delete the orignals on your Mac HD you will then only have one copy - so no backup.
    If the pictures are precious you should have at least two copies, and ideally another copy kept off site,

  • I can connect to MAC but not my PC

    I have a new Nano, that connects to Mac but not my PC. When I try to connect to PC it says "iTunes as detected a Macintosh formatted iPod. You must restore this iPod before you can use it on Windows."
    How can I get my Nano to work on both?
    Thanks!

    Windows cannot read a Mac formatted disk.
    You need to Restore on iTunes for Windows and it will then work on Mac & Windows.

  • Map Widget - Works on Mac but not in Author

    OK, I'm a nube when it comes to Dashcode just so that's out there. I managed to build a custom map widget with Google Maps. The widget works perfectly on my Macs but not in Author. In Author the default place holder remains empty. If I click "edit HTML" I get the Google map, but it's just a generic USA, not the one I created w/ places. Also iBooks refuses to import the book to my iPad until I delete this map.
    Do I need to do something or insert special code in Dashcode to make this widget "Author compatible" or are map widgets not allowed?

    jfk0404 - I believe that what you're referring to as the "unattractive cartoon-like figure in the widget" is actually the placeholder image for the widget as it appears inline on the page. Once you click that cartoon image the actual widget takes over full screen and loads the html content displaying a functional full size google map.
    To replace the cartoon icon you have a few options. The first thing to do is create a new .png file to represent your widget as the placeholder image enticing your readers to click to open the full screen widget and load its dynamic contents. Perhaps a screen grab of your map would be a good idea?
    Easy:
    Drag your brand new .png image from the Finder into your open source iBooks Author file dropping it on the cartoon image. Done.
    More Complex:
    Right click (control-click) on the xxx.wdgt file that downloaded from http://classwidgets.com and choose "Show Package Contents." A Widget file is really just a special folder bundle with a .wdgt extension. In there you will find the Default.png file. Highlight the file and press the space bar to see a preview in the Finder's QuickLook feature. That's your cartoon image. Now replace that file with the one you created above. Done.

  • Link works on mac but not on pc

    Hi -
    I am trying to insert a jpg into a dreamweaver file.
    I then upload the html file along with the jpg to my server in a folder called "layout"
    So the url is:  http://www.mysite.com/layout/test.html
    The link works on mac, but not on pc's.
    Any idea why?
    Some links work on pc's like this, and others don't.
    Thanks- It's driving me crazy!!

    The link is not correct....you have it listed as" mysite.com", which I assume is where you are to insert the name of your url.

    HTML link to pdf works ok on Mac but not on ipad. Adobe Reader for ipad downloaded. What's wrong?

    Hi pwillener,
    Thank for reply. The pdf’s are in a subfolder “PDF” of the folder holding the web page. The web page itself uses
    . This works in full size computer browsers but not in an iPad.
    My excursion through the search engine has produced the idea of adding #page = requesting page to the URL but I have not had time to try it perhaps without the = sign.

  • Error when Writing Metadata to Files in Bridge (Mac) but not in Bridge (PC)

    We get an error when writing metadata to files in Bridge (Mac) but not in Bridge (PC). In the same drive and folder, the PC can successfully write a keyword to a file on the PC, where the Mac returns an error. I have researched this at the Adobe Knowledgebase, but their answer seemed to indicate it was a global issue, and we don't see that behavior on the PC.
    The client is a Mac of course, and the server volume is a Windows share volume. The Mac is bound to AD, and the domain\username and username formats have both been tried when logging in, but you receive the error in both.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi, I'm having the same problem using FreeNAS (which uses Samba and Netatalk in the backend), but I tried with both AFP and SMB on Mavericks and Yosemite, I still have the same issue.  I think it might be a timing issue with how lightroom interact with a slower write delay using network shares.  I suggest you also chime into this thread:  Lightroom 5 can't write metadata to DNG files   I really hope this is resolved as this is impacting my productivity as I moved my workflow to my Macbook with a shared NAS.

    Unfortunately that didn't do the trick.  For the life of me I can't figure this one out.  However, if I author it using iDVD (with the same media) it works?  I'd make do with IDVD if I could get rid of the Apple logo in the lower right corner.
