Publishing to Mulitple .mac accounts

Hi. I have multiple .Mac accounts and am currently working on two websites in iWeb. The problem I'm having is getting the 2nd website to post to another .Mac account via iWebs "publish" functionality. They both post under the same .Mac account user URL site. Is there away to do this so each site posts to the proper .Mac accounts website?
Thanks,
-J

James,
I think your understanding of the matter is correct. But I would suggest that the cleanest and most elegant option is probably the second method which involves creating a second system user account for the second .Mac account. Then the only thing you would need to do is to log into the right account in OS X to publish to each .Mac account.
Changing the .Mac preferences back and forth is cumbersome and still doesn't do away with the problem of having both sites under the same Domain file. With separate system accounts, each .Mac account will have its own Domain file which you will not have to keep track of. Changing .Mac preferences back and forth also affects other things that you might use, like iChat or syncing to your iDisk. Very messy.
Anyways, good luck with this. Do me a favor and mark this reply with the little buttons above as either "helpful" or "solved." Thanks.

Help, i cant password protect when i publish to my .Mac account

Whenever i try to put a password-protect my site i keep on getting an error message when im publishing to my .Mac account. "there was an error updating your .Mac account". When i publish my site without the password protection everything goes smoothly and no problems.
Is there some setting i dont know of that is preventing me from doing so?
Does it take time for this feature to work? (i only bought the subscription and registered to .Mac yesterday)
Mac OS X (10.4.5)

nah... giving up now. cant password protect the site
told .mac support, they said its a problem with my ISP. Im inclining to agree. Unfortunately the ISp dont have mac tech support. so yeah.
hope the next few updates are less awry.

Publishing without a .mac account??

Hi all,
I have a .mac account but want to create a site with lengthy podcasts and the like. So i have some server space I use which I want to publish my site to. I know how to use a client and upload the whole folder but is there a way in iweb or a client that only uploads only the changes as re-uploading a large size site every time I add to it would be a nightmare.
Any help as I would very grateful.

A list of Mac FTP clients is here:
...but it's not clear which are able to upload only changed files. If you click on this old two-page thread you'll see some diverse opinions:
Another poster says he uses:
Yummy for FTP...
http://www.yummysoftware.com/
and Web Site Maestro for optimizing and uploading updates using "Smart Handling"...
http://www.tonbrand.nl
(Their web site says: The Smart Handling feature and the combined Optimize/Upload function offer you *one-click optimizing and publishing of all your changed pages*.)

How do I publish after renewing .mac account?

IWeb was working fine until I had to renew my .mac account now when I hit the publish button a window pops up that tells me to either test drive a .mac account or if Im already a member to sign in. When I go to my system pref. it already has my info. Anyone have any ideas?

An interesting post, my .mac runs out in five days and I get a .mac splash screen each time after I have published telling me how long I have left. It alos includes a Renew button, even though I have enterd all the details for auto renew. Hmmmmm!

How to publish to another .Mac account ??

For a variety of reasons I decided to start afresh with a new .Mac account - how do I republish my web pages to the NEW account - the older account will expire later this month ?
Thanks

QTK - removing old account data may be the issue. I still have my original .Mac account name pop up from the Apple site - I think they keep the old ones in their system forever as some type of marketing scheme to get you to renew.
Since you can not delete your .Mac aliases was formed (only deactivate) - you have to set up a new account to get 5 new/different aliases.

Publishing to non .mac account problem

Hi
HELP!
I think I have bitten off more than I can chew....
Having fallen in love with iWeb I took the plunge and published
the website I created to my Partners site (as the iWeb one I wrote was 100% better than his)
I used 'Easy Iweb Publisher' to upload the site
his domain is www.st-erasmus.com
All I get is blank white screen. In the public_html folder there looks like the files I uploaded are sitting there.......
any suggestions?

You'll have to check with your host as to where exactly the files need to be uploaded. But typing in your domain results in the white screen as you mentioned, resolved to a file called "HOME.html". This should give you a clue as to where to publish. Wherever this "HOME.html" file lives is probably the same place you want to publish. Then you'll have to find out where there is another index.html file redirecting to this file, as you'll want to replace or at least edit this file too.

Publish to a different .mac account?

I would like to publish to another .mac account which I own. Is it possible?
Sal

A simple answer: yes
An explanation. You can do that if you haqve the login and password for this account. So, you can change or create another user in your machine and in his/her system preferences fill in the login and password and you'll have access to publish to this user
or
open this user idisk from menubar (go -> idisk) and enter the login and pass.
done!

Try to publish ical - error "your .Mac account information is not correct"

I try to publish a calendar from my home computer so that I can see it on my work laptop (both Macs); and I get an error "Your .Mac account configuration is not correct. Calendar could not be published. Your .Mac account information is not correct. You cannot publish to .Mac until you have configured your .Mac account." Its setup and configured. Any ideas?

I had the same thing and did the following two things which got it to publish. Not sure which one fixed it but give it a go.
1. Open your .mac pane in system preferences. Sign out and sign back in.
2. Change the name of the calendar you're trying to publish.
Good luck!

Turning Red Page Icons to Blue w/ Non .Mac account?

The only time the pages changed from red to blue was when published to a .Mac account. I no longer use .Mac and when I publish to a folder the red page icons remain red, so I have no idea which pages have current changes which need uploaded to the server. If you don't use .Mac, how do you make the red page icons turn blue?

That's kinda my point - publishing to a folder 'should' do the same. It's easy for the app to check and see if there is a .Mac account (which it already does). If no .Mac account, then publishing to a folder should turn the pages from red to blue.

IWeb with multiple .Mac account

Hi,
I have 2 .Mac account (one for personal, and another one for business use). I have one MacBookPro
I want to use iWeb developing 2 sites for my 2 .Mac account.
What I usually do is to log in to my personal .Mac account, then make both sites (personal and business) the pages with iWeb.
But the problem is that both sites I did in iWeb will get published to my personal account. Then it is wasting space on my idisk.
Then I would have to publish everything to a folder and then copy only the pages of my business site into my business .Mac account.
I wish there is an easier way.
What would be the best way of doing this? (with no pain!)
Thank you & Best regards.

hi viravadee
you can publish to 2 .mac accounts very easily.
before you want to publish, close iweb,
go under system preferences,
then under .Mac settings change the username and the
password. re-open iWeb and publish
- BUT when, say you want to publish your
office-site, make sure it is the top-page (just drag
and drop the web-site to the top(in the sidebar
under iWeb) because this tells the index to get
linked to the first web-site. For your home adress,
you do it the opposite way, your personal page goes
first, and don't forget to change the username in
the system preferences again.
i guess that is the easiest way to publish to 2
accounts.
and it will allways publish everything, you will have
to delete the other site from the iDisk
Woah. I don't know if I would recommend this method. Why publish everything every time if you don't need to?
viravadee, try this:
1. Make two user accounts on your machine and set up each account for a different .mac account
2. Separate your domain file into two separate domain files, each with one site
Some directions are here:
http://web.mac.com/mark8heaton/iWeb/DomainSeparation
3. Put one domain file in each user account on your machine

2 websites, 2 .Mac accounts, using Multisite

OK, so I've searched and searched and I get that you can't have multiple websites using CNAME with only 1 .Mac account. Well, I DO have 2 .Mac accounts (personal and business). I've separated my websites using Multisite, which works great, but they both are pointing to my personal site. I want to change that so the business site points to the business .Mac account. How do I change the domain location of the one site? I've looked for files with .domain in them, but they are non existent on my computer. Any input would be helpful.

Multisites is probably not capable of properly separating sites in a single Domain.sites2 file in the sense that you will be given two "clean" and totally separate Domain files. iWeb08 makes extensive use of UUID's which the simple utility cannot handle. The end result may be that you are getting the same index.html file for both sites published to both .Mac accounts, and this is the reason both urls wind up at the same place.
Check the index.html files for both sites, in both .Mac accounts, found in your Sites folder on your iDisk(s). They should read differently, after the wording, content="0;url=. They probably read the same, as they are probably the same index.html file. If this is the case, simply open the index.html file on the iDisk with your TextEdit.app and modify it to point to the correct site by changing the title of the Site and the First Page in the file. It will be obvious when you view the file what needs to be changed.
You could also publish each site separately to your Desktop, and then compare the respective index.html files published next to the Site folders. They should be different in the sense that they will contain their respective Site/Page names in their content url.
If this is so, just drop the correct index.html file (that was published to the Desktop) into the Sites folder in the proper .Mac account, replacing the one that is there now. This should fix the problem.
While you are checking files on the iDisk(s), make sure that the two separate and distinct sites are indeed uploaded to their respective .Mac accounts, by looking at the actual Site files:
Using Finder:
Go/iDisk/MyiDisk/Web/Sites/SiteName/Page_files
If the two sites are properly in place on the .Mac server in separate .Mac accounts, then the index.html files for the sites are definitely the problem.
P.S. BTW, Cyclosaurus figured out a long time ago how to properly separate iWeb08 Domain files...he has the right stuff over Multisites.

Publish web gallery to a different .mac account

Hi Friends.
Can I publish web galleries to both of my .mac accounts from the same Mac?
It seems like I might have to create a different user account on the MAc itself and make the other .mac account the default for that different user. I would really rather not do that, as I have one iPhoto library with all of my photos for every aspect of my life and work.
Thanks for any guidance.

To make is more convenient to do that you could create a second user account, set it up for the other .Mac account and publish from there. You could either use two separate libraries or put your library on an external HD so both account could use it without ownership/permissions issues.
You can also set up fast user switching so you wouldn't have to log out of one account to get to the other.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How to publish from iWeb to two different .mac accounts

my household has two separate .macs account and we want to publish from iWeb to the two different accounts which I cannot figure out. thanks

I discovered I could duplicate Domain.sites2 (~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2). I named one "Domain de.sites2", and the other "Domain daru.sites2". Then I opened daru's site and deleted de's, then I opened de's and deleted daru's, and I have two separate sites (with aliases in the dock) that I presume I'll be able to upload separately. Once I get .Mac sub groups created...
If it works, it saves the hassle of creating other user accounts, since only my wife and I use the computer. Right now, .Mac is telling me I can't create a sub account in my wife's name because she already has a .Mac ID (and a two month free trial account she had to agree to, to join the group) for a group site I manage. I don't think she ought to be required to have a separate identity every time she logs into .Mac.

Best way to publish multiple sites without a .mac account?

Hi, all you mac geniuses out there!
So, I have a mac and a .mac membership and iweb. I use and love all of them. I also have a business in which I am about to incorporate the service of designing websites for various individuals. I would love to be able to use iweb for this. However, I can't put it all on my .mac account. So, my questions are the following:
1. Do I charge people extra and buy them a .mac account so they have their own idisk even though they won't need the e-mail and other .mac features?
2. Can I create a website for them on iweb, buy a domain name for them through godaddy or somewhere, publish to a folder, and then upload to a separate hosting space (like through godaddy or somewhere)? And if that's the case, what is the best (and easiest) place to host a site and how exactly does one go about uploading the site once it's published to a folder? Will it still look like the iweb layout?
3. Any better suggestions?
Thanks!
Lisa

1. Do I charge people extra and buy them a .mac
account so they have their own idisk even though they
won't need the e-mail and other .mac features?
I don't think this would be necessary...
2. Can I create a website for them on iweb, buy a
domain name for them through godaddy or somewhere,
publish to a folder, and then upload to a separate
hosting space...
Yes. The best thing for you to do would be to get familiar with a program called "iWebSites" ( http://mistergregg.com/cocoadrillosoftware/ ). I'm sure you don't want your personal .Mac website to be mixed in with your client websites. In addition, you will appreciate the ability to be able to publish your various websites INDEPENDENTLY of one another, so that you only publish your personal site to your .Mac account and your client sites individually as needed. iWebSites helps you to create separate Domain files for iWeb so that each website can "live" in its own space and be edited and published separate from every other site.
But yes, as far as your client websites go, prepare for a new site with iWebSites, design the site in iWeb, then "Publish to Folder" and then register and upload to the appropriate domain name server directory. I think this would be a slick way to run your business....full service, right?
Let me know if you have any other questions.
