Publishing to multiple mobileme accounts

i have two mobile me accounts and publish websites through iweb on both of them. i've been managing these sites using different user accounts on my computer. i would like to be able to do this using only one account. i installed iwebsites and that allows me to open multiple sites in iweb, but as far as i can tell i can only publish them to one mobile me account. is there anyway i can publish each site to it's respective account? it isn't practical to have another user account on my computer, because all i use it for is iweb. plus all the work i do for both sites is done on one account.
if anyone could help me, it would be much appreciated!

No. Incorrect. If you have the family pack you will have one main .Mac username and password that you log into .Mac with. You can then set-up all the sub-divisions of the family pack account, so that each person using the sub account can have their own username and password to log in with.
You can have one user on your machine and all you need do is log out of your .Mac account under System Preferences and then log in to the other account by entering the correct username and password and you then get into the other account and you can then publish to this account.
There is no need to have different users set up on the computer that are linked to the .Mac accounts. You can do it if you want to, but alternatively just have one user and then log in and out of the different .Mac accounts and just publish.
At one time, I had two .Mac accounts as I wanted to use CNAME twice, so if I published one site I would just log in and out of my .Mac accounts until I had the correct account to publish to.

Questions about syncing multiple MobileMe accounts on one iPad

You can set up multiple MobileMe accounts; however, only one MobileMe account at a time can be used for Find My iPad and for syncing contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes. (iPad User Guide p. 32)
Okay.
If you've done this already (created multiple MobileMe accounts on your iPad), can you please tell me how syncing two accounts to one device works in practice?
What prevents the merging of contacts and calendars between two MobileMe accounts and one instance of the Calendar and Contacts apps?
As a matter of functionality, and assuming there is a way to avoid merging this information, how does one access separate calendars and contacts from separate MobileMe accounts in the Calendar and Contact apps?
Thanks!

Managing Multiple Galleries (i.e. multiple MobileMe accounts)

I have a family MobileMe account and wish to manage some of the family members' galleries from iPhoto. I know that I can have multiple iPhoto libraries if necessary, but have not been able to figure out how to manage multiple MobileMe accounts (and their galleries) via iPhoto. Any tips?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The best approach to managing multiple MMe accounts on one Mac is to have multiple User account on that Mac, one for each MMe account. That also would require multiple libraries unless you will have all of the photos in one. If that's the case you can move the library to the Shared folder and access it there from each account.
In each account log into the appropriate MMe account via the System/MobileMe preference pane. Then enable fast user switching via the System/Accounts pane to make it easy to switch user account.

Multiple MobileMe accounts – Set the one used for publishing Photos & Video

I'm running OS 3.0 on an iPhone 3G S. I've configured two MobileMe accounts, both Mail only (no Calendar, no Contacts). MobileMe account 1 is also the default email account as of Settings.
However: When I use one of the sharing features in the Photos app, it wants to publish to Galleries of MobileMe account 2 (though, as stated above, account 1 is set to be the default email account).
Any idea how to change this?
In the list of configured email accounts MobileMe account 2 is listed below MobileMe account 1. However, alphatically MobileMe account 2 ranges before MobileMe account 1. Is Photos simply picking the first MobileMe account it finds in alphabetical order?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Macworld has a workaround for this that seems to work ok:

On getting the deleted mail accounts to sync back from iTunes, I had to de-select them first, and then re-select to get them to show up afterwards, but at least I can upload to the correct account now.

IWeb 09 Multiple sites with multiple MobileMe accounts

Hi guys, one more for you,
i have my MobileMe account and my website, i also create to more small sites just for testing purpose, i want to know if i can have multiple websites on iWeb and each one with their own MobileMe account.
(e.g)
-- site1 ( [email protected])
-- site2 ( [email protected])
-- site3 ( [email protected])
i have only One Mac computer and i have to work on 3 different sites with only this computer.
Help please... I am new to Mac world ( but i love it )

Do you really have 3 separate users or just want to publish 3 separate sites? If it's the latter then you can do all of them with just one MMe account. In your domain file with three sites the top size will be the "alpha" site in that if you enter the minimum URL, http://web.me.com/YourMMe_AccountName/, the top site will come up. To go to the other two sites you'll need to add the site name on the end of the URL above, i.e. http://web.me.com/YourMMe_Account_Name/Site_1name/.
In this economy if you can do what you want with one account that's saving some $$$$.

Publish without a mobileme account

Can I create a web site with iWeb and publish it to a web hosting service? Or do I need a mobileme account?
Thanks!

See towards the end of _this video tutorial_.

Publishing to another MobileMe account

I am creating a site for a friend in iWeb. I want to publish that site using his MobileMe account. The Site Publishing Settings does not allow me to change the MobileMe account from my account to his. How do I do this?

To add to Wyodor's suggestion on a separate user account on your Mac for the other MMe account - set up fast user switching so you can quickly move between those accounts.

How to make multiple MobileMe accounts work in iCloud?

I have 2 MobileMe accounts. One is an old @mac.com that I use strictly for e-mail. The other is my current @me.com (with an alias @me.com address) that I use for everything including iTunes store account. I've already moved my @me.com account to the cloud. Here are my questions:
Do I move the @mac.com to the cloud on my iMac? Will it override any calendars, contacts, etc.? I want to add it to my iOS devices as well (iPhone and iPad at least). I see under accounts on my iPhone I can add an iCloud account, but can I add it without compromising all the data from my @me account?
Do I have to do anything to the alias account to move it? Will it go away if I do nothing once MobileMe goes away?
Thanks for any help.

Is it possible to sync multiple mobileme accounts onto the iphone, syncing ical calendars for these multiple mobile me accounts ?

I am trying to sync two mobileme accounts into my iphone and each account have different calendars ( all being with ical NOT CALDAV).
Now, my question is can I sync these different calendars, belonging to different mobileme accounts, into the iphone? please assist me on this matter.
Basically i want to have a work calendar to share with my colleagues and a personal calendar to share just with my friends and family.

You are correct. This used to work in the past although admittedly I haven't tried it for some time as it was of no direct use for my purposes.
If the goal is to see another MobileMe account's calendar(s) on your iOS device then an alternative would be to share the calendar(s) in question to yourself.
Example:
Assume you currently have MobileMe user account A on your iPhone.
Login to MM user account B with me.com which has the calendar you wish to have access to on your iPhone
Click on Calendars
Click on the Share button for the calendar you wish to see added to your iPhone.
Type in the MobileMe email address for MM user account A and set it for read & write access
Login to MM user account A on me.com
Go to calendars and accept the invitation to join the calendar you sent from MM account B
Go your iPhone (you may need to turn it on and off to make the calendars refresh ) and check your calendars, you should now have the other calendars added to your MobileMe account A's calendar
Note: You can repeat step # 3 for each of the calendars you wish to see on your iPhone.

Publish to another MobileMe account

I am using iWeb to develop a web site for a third party who has a MobilMe account. Can I publish the site using iWeb from my computer to the third party's MobilMe Account?
Thanks,
David

Yes, you can. You will have to log in to his MMe account with the System/MobileMe preference pane. Then click on the site's icon in iWeb and set the publish to to MMe:
Click to view full size
It might be easier for you to create a new user account on your Mac and use it to work on the client's web site and publish to MobileMe. Just set up fast user switching in the System/Accounts preference pane.

This way you don't have to log out of your MMe account, in to the client's each time you want to change which site you work on and publish.

Consolidate multiple mobileme accounts over as to 1 iCloud accountt

I wanted to see if anyone have a similar issue..
Over the many purchases, we ended up with multple me accounts and the compounding issue we had with iTunes accounts (had to create multiple iTunes\App Store accounts has left us scratching our heads and wondering if this was not possible desite Apple store guidance.....Any assistance would be welcomed..
Ideally, we could have a master account that managed services for the following devices:
(1) iMac
(2) Macbook Pro
(1) Macbook
(2) iPad
(5) iPhone
We could like to have a main calendar that could push out to all devices and also allow for multiple users to create additional shared calendars. This would include Outlook, 1Cal, Google (both personal & Google Apps users)
Any thoughts to solve this seemily simple effort?
Appreciated

Create multiple MobileMe accounts within Mac OS X Mail?

Hi, I want to create a separate ACCOUNT for my me.com mail alias in Mac OS X Mail so that when a message arrives, I will hear the "ding" arrival sound. Currently, for organizational purposes, I am redirecting the alias' mail to a separate MAILBOX, but by doing this there is no "ding" sound upon arrival of that alias' mail. Can MobileMe e-mail aliases not be set up as separate accounts within Mac OS X Mail? I work from home so the arrival sound is very important to me. Please help, friends!
Is there a way to attach a screen shot here?

What order are the rules running in?, do the notification first then the move, I have a rule that does just that (for email from my son, so it doesn't get a huge amount of work) but when one arrives I get a notification, a change of color on the text and a move to a seperate folder.

New site not publishing. 2 separate MobileMe accounts, iweb sites involved

*April '09 I purchase Mobile Me for use to develop a website for a friend.* I use his email, but my credit card to make the purchase, and set up the website from iweb on my macbook.
http://web.me.com/samaniegosinclair/hector/AbouttheArtist
*A month ago I purchase an iphone and buy mobileme for my own personal use (with same credit card from first mobileme).* I set it up on my macbook and sign into mobileme from system prefs with my new username and password. Then I open iweb because I want to create a website for my own use.
*The friends website draft loads in iweb. How is this possible if I am opening iweb with a totally different account?*
*I try to create a new site, my own site (so it shows up second in the index to the left), and then publish.* It's been over 30 minutes, but all text on left side index is still red (not blue which indicates published status, right?), but there's a filled-in white circle next to the title of my site (doesn't that mean it's finished uploading?)
*Then I decide to search for my site.* According to the help file it should be http://web.me.com/[YourMemberName] for the first site. Well this is my first site on this account, but not the first site I've created using iweb (hence why the friend's site shows up first?).
*So I type in http://web.me.com/margie.hatch (margie.hatch being my username) hit the return key and this shows up: http://web.me.com/margie.hatch/hector/AbouttheArtist.html. WHAT? How'd that happen?*
Where do I even start to sort this out and get my new site published? Must I terminate the first mobile me account?

The friends website draft loads in iweb. How is this possible if I am opening iWeb with a totally different account?
You're not opening iWeb with a toally different account. iWeb opens a file on your computer :
~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites2
iWeb publishes to the MobileMe account you entered in the System Prefs.
The purchase of an iPhone has nothing to do with it.

Multiple FTP, but not multiple MobileMe?

I was under the impression when I bought iLife '09 that iWeb would now allow publishing to multiple mobileme sites by allowing each site to have a separate mobileme login. Guess I was wrong. Why would Apple give the ability to publish to different ftp accounts on a site-by-site basis, but not give that ability to mobileme users? Or am I missing something?
It is a pain in the butt to logout one account in system prefs and login in a second account every time I want to make a change to one site or another. I end up having to setup syncing each time and then sync the computer again, tell it to merge changes etc. Like I said, pain in the butt and could potentially lead to loss of data if I choose the wrong mobileme sync option.

Multiple iCloud accounts on same device

With multiple MobileMe accounts (on the same device), only the 'primary' account would 'push' email. The other accounts would need to manually fetch the email.
Has this changed with iCloud? If you set up multiple iCloud accounts, will they all have email 'pushed'?
What about Contacts and Calendars? Will changes get 'pushed' to all accounts or just the primary account?
If Contacts and Calendar changes are not pushed, how can a device be updated with the latest info? With email, there is usually a 'Get mail' button or at least you can set a schedule so messages will get fetched, but there's no such facility for Contacts and Calendars. So if there's no push, how can they keep in sync?
I'm hoping that even if email push only works for the primary account, it WILL work for Contacts and Calendars, even on the other 'secondary' iCloud accounts. Can anyone confirm this either way?

Updating this myself as I have some more information.
The secondary iCloud accounts seem to get mail pushed to them, even on iOS devices which suggests that iOS 5 now does indeed support IMAP IDLE as I cannot see how this would occur otherwise.
However, an odd thing has occured on the Mac. A day after setting up the 3 iCLoud accounts, during which time it has all worked perfectly well, this morning OSX has modified all the accounts, all by itself. It has self-created 3 MobileMe accounts, named the same as the iCloud accounts were and those have now all been renamed 'iCloud'. The iCloud accounts now have Mail turned OFF and the new MobileMe accounts have that turned ON. IOW, the new MobileMe accounts have taken over the email duties.
There's 2 oddities about this, well more than 2 really.
Why create these new 'email only' accounts as type MobileMe which will soon be entirely defunct?
Why would it do this at all? Why not just leave the 3 x iCloud accounts, as they were?
How has it done this all by itself? Shouldn't such account creation be a manual process by the user?
It doesn't seem to have affected the functionality, but I am at a complete loss as to what is going on here. So if anyone can shed some light on it I'd be grateful.
