Q about the site address itself

Currently, I'm http://web.mac.com/mmpaiva
I would like to be able to just be mmpaiva.com or something akin.
Is there a way to be less cumbersome and easy to remember and access for other folks?

I am in the process of that too. You need to purchase and registar a domain name. www.yourname.com and have your iweb pages use that instead.

Questionb about the site address in navigation bar

Hi there,
I am using iweb to create my website, have a .mac account so using that to host the site. I did get a domain name with godaddy.com and have my site forwarded to my .mac account address.
To be clearer, my website address is http://www.mikkelinadesigns.com
when it redirects, it goes to this address:
http://web.mac.com/mikkelina/iWeb/MikkelinaDesigns/Mikkelina%20Designs.html
that's WAY too long and I think would confuse visitors. Can I rename/shorten the address or even keep www.mikkelinadesigns.com in the navbar? I might be doing something wrong here (I hope so).
If not, I may need to have godaddy also host my site, but I wanted to first find out all my options before I do this. Thanks!!

You can start by getting rid of the %20s as iWeb's Help suggests...
Browsers convert spaces in site names to "%20." To avoid these symbols, use an underscore, hyphen, or some other character instead of a space. Also avoid non-Roman characters; many get converted to numbers when you publish.
Other characters aren't recommended for use in website names, including: forward and backward slashes (/ \), brackets ([ ]), tilde (~), exclamation point , question mark (?), "at" sign (@), number sign (#), dollar sign ($), ampersand (&), asterisk (*), colon (:), equal sign (=), comma (,), and double quotation marks ("). Using these characters may result in names with strange numbers in them.

I installed an Extreme in place of an old Express, the various phones and Ipads seem to work on the WiFi but the Mac itself will not connect. It says something about the IP address.

I installed an Extreme in place of an old Express, the various phones and Ipads seem to work on the WiFi but the Mac itself will not connect. It says something about the IP address being used by another device. Second wifi network was also created. The Mac worked for a few minutes and then gaev up citing eth IP problem......any clues people??

If you have not already done so, now would be a good time to perform a complete network power cycle.......to give everything a fresh start.
Power off every device on the network.....computers, printers, hard drives, etc......in any order that you want
Wait a full minute
Start the modem, and let it run by itself for 2-3 minutes
Start the next device connected to the modem and let it run a full minute
Keep starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until the entire network is back up
Check the network

How can I copy a link when the site address doesn't show up in my address bar?

When I click a link within my email, I am taken directly there but the links address doesn't pop up in the site address bar so I'm not able to copy and share it.

It does not sound like you have done any of the domain setup.

It sounds like you are talking about an iPhone that has been Activation Locked. This article explains:

If so, the iPhone can never be unlocked without the original Apple ID and password. This is an anti-theft measure.

The site addresses what I'm on keep getting replaced with "search or enter address" please help

whenever I open a new tab the site address is replaced with "search or enter address" and automatically prepares me to type in the address. this means I can't copy the site address of the website I'm on as there is nothing I can copy.

How do I get address bar to go directly to the site addressed and not search

I use the address bar to go directly to sites. Yahoo interprets my input as a search request and delivers the same mess of options that a search bar would provide. I want the address bar to only connect to the site for which I type in the address. If the address I type in cannot be found, all I want is a notification of that fact.

Let's start by turning off address bar search.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''keyw''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''keyword.enabled''' preference to switch it from true to false.
Then test again with a nonsense URL. Do you get the expected error?
If instead you get search results for that or for any one word (space-less) search, then those results are a feature provided by your DNS service provider, which often is your ISP. Check the results page for any way they might offer to discontinue the service and just get plain error messages.

Everytime i bookmark a page, it is saved as a yahoo search. not the site address

im using the latest version of firefox. OS is windows 7. yahoo is my homepage.
for example: i type 'google' into the search bar. the search page comes up and i click on the main address for Google and it takes me to Google.com.
when i click on the bookmark 'star', it gets saved as a yahoo search in the bookmark menu and not as a site address

''''' "firefox and yahoo are so intertwined ..." '''''
No they're not, Mozilla has no arrangements with Yahoo other than it being one of the 6 default search engines for the Search Bar . You nay have installed a special Yahoo version of Firefox. Take a look at '''Help > About Firefox''' and see if there is anything in there about Yahoo 1.8 in that window.

In history i have given forget about the site. when i open firefox if i give a letter example:k means the website which i give forget is opening.so what can i do for this.

for example when i give yahoo means if i give about that site after when i firefox if i gives y means the yahoo will starting appear.

About the Sites folder into Users accounts

Hi,
I can reach the Sites folder of users if I put a ~ after the domaine name like in : http://mydomain.com/~userx/
How to do the same without having to put the ~ ?
Thanks

You need to configure apache specifically to do that.
The whole point of the ~ is to gain access to user-specific sites. Without that character (or something similar), Apache can't automatically tell whether http://yourdomain.com/userx is userx's Sites directory, or a directory called '/userx' in the document root.
So, if you want Apache to automatically find user-specific sites you'll need the tilde. If you don't, you'll need to tell apache how to find them (bearing in mind that the user's home directory might not be in /Users - it could be a network home directory, or in some other location.
You might be able to craft something close using RewriteRules (at least to the point of catching missing directories and redirecting to /Users), but getting Apache to lookup a user via directory services to locate thier home directory is beyond RewriteRules as I know them.

AVReceive2 - Q about the ip address given as input

Hi
I've managed to understand a bit of AVReceive2.java and AVTransmit2.java , but there is one thing that's unclear to me .
The transmitter sends the stream to a specific ip:port , and the receiver should know in my opinion only the port on which he should listen to receive the stream . But as i've seen the Receiver needs as input session(s) (ip/port) , and in the [web-page where u get the receiver sample from |http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/AVReceive.html] it says the ip is "the address of the computer which transmits the data" and i assume the port is the one on the receiver's machine on which he'll get the streams on .
The thing is i've tested it on localhost and as well between localhost and a VM and no matter what ip you specify as the input for a session to the receiver , if the port is correct , the receiver gets the stream . So my question is what is the ip address in the session for ? and who's ip address is ? and why does it work even if the ip address is not set correctly (in case the address would be the transmitter's ip as they say) ... ?
thanks for any suggestions and for reading this

The transmitter sends the stream to a specific ip:port , and the receiver should know in my opinion only the port on which he should listen to receive the stream . RTP packets are carried via UDP packets, which are a connectectionless transmission packet. What that means, basically, is that you can receive packets from more than one remote host simultaniously on the same local port...
But as i've seen the Receiver needs as input session(s) (ip/port) , and in the [web-page where u get the receiver sample from |http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/AVReceive.html] it says the ip is "the address of the computer which transmits the data"
Right. In the case that 2 streams were being received on the same port, you'd need to tell JMF which one to play...
and i assume the port is the one on the receiver's machine on which he'll get the streams on .Technically no. The port you give it is the port on which the sender's machine is sending the data. The IP/PORT combo is matched against the source ip / port of the UDP packets...
In this case, the AVTransmit2 code is designed to send from the port it's sending to, so the source port of the UDP packet will have the same value as the destination port of the UDP packet...
So, in summary, the source and destination ports can be different, or they can be the same. You need to give the source port to AVReceive...
The thing is i've tested it on localhost and as well between localhost and a VM and no matter what ip you specify as the input for a session to the receiver , if the port is correct , the receiver gets the stream . So my question is what is the ip address in the session for ? and who's ip address is ? and why does it work even if the ip address is not set correctly (in case the address would be the transmitter's ip as they say) ... ?I've tested this between 2 machines in the past, and if you don't give the correct address, you won't receive the stream. More than likely, because you're using localhost & a VM, it's just considering all of your IP addresses to be equivolent...
127.0.0.1 = localhost = 192.168.x.x, etc...
So you should test this between 2 actual machines with different IP addresses, and see what you come up with.

Redeeming iTunes Card Problem (not asking about the site being slow)

Yesterday I went and somehow got into iTunes to redeem one of my cards. With the card (It was a 'collector's edition' one that my aunt got me) should have come with a music video and a little animated short.
The $25 went through, and was credited to my account, but the two other features were not. Is there somewhere I have to go to redeem those? Or should they have come automatically?
And is there any way of fixing it? I was actually looking forward to getting the music video...
Also, I have another problem with videos, and if anyone saw that post, I still need help on that.

Would someone please just try to explain to me what's going on? I didn't get an answer yesterday, and I'm on the verge of attempting to return my video iPod because my mini didn't cause near as many problems! It may be old, but at least I know most of the stuff about it!

When I try to download Firefox for the Android, the messge I get is Firefox doesn't know how to open the site address.

This is exactly what happens. I can't download firefox for mobile.

It is because your phone or tablet is not compatible due to the cpu it uses (ARMv6 (ARM11) versus the ARMv7 cpu's it supports. Also makes a difference if you do not have Android 2.0 or newer.

Loading the site

Hello,
is there any who know how to load the site by itself (the
swf).
I don't speak about loading an external source (jpg, mp3,
xml, etc...)
in AS2 it was with getBytesLoaded and getBytesTotal
in AS3 it seems to be bytesTotal from URLLoader class
but don t know how to use it to load the site
by loading the site, I mean, I guess, loading the librairy of
th swf.
Merci baucoup, Sylvain.

you can use the contentLoaderInfo property of any display
object to obtain info about the main timeline of the display
object. that would include the bytesLoaded and byteTotal
properties.

DNS addresses (master and slave) + personalizing the url address

Hello.
My name is Fernando and I published my site using MobileMe (www.fernandoingles.com).
It’s working already really well.
But since I’m from Brazil, I built one in Portuguese as well.
And since the common site endings here are .br I’m trying to purchase the www.fernandoingles.com.br as well but in order to be able to actually buy the site I have to give them two DNS addresses of the place I’m publishing the website with.
(one ‘Master’ and one ‘Slave’).
How can I get those addresses?
And another thing is that I also have my bands site’s published under my main domain name (fernandoingles.com) with my main MobileMe account (but I have the family pack now).
[www.pipeusa.net and www.pipebrasil.com]
I purchased those Urls using GoDaddy and they are all properly forwarded already, which means that when the person types those addresses above it already goes to the correct site.
But what shows on the actual url above is (http://www.fernandoingles.com/fernandoingles.com/Pipe.html).
And what I would like to appear is only the addresses (www.pipeusa.net and www.pipebrasil.com) instead of my name before them.
I bought the family pack so that I would have more space and etc... and already put those addresses ((www.pipeusa.net and www.pipebrasil.com and fernandoingles.com.br) as their main domain.
But since I’m publishing them all using my own iWeb how could I make those extra sites work as their own main sites?
Would it work if I log in with the desired MobileMe sub-account (let’s say www.pipeusa.net) and then go to iWeb, move that site to the top and them publish it?

Thank you so much for the response!
Great option on the added accounts!!
Since I manage all those sites myself could I manage them all within the same 'log in' or each and every time I need to make a change on one of those sites I must 'log out' of whatever account I'm in and then 'log in' into the account that the change needs to be made?
And whenever I 'log in' into those accounts (the ones that have the respective domains) should I replace on iWeb before I publish the top site with the one I want to as the main domain or can I just not do anything at all?
And about the DNS address issue,
Since I’m from Brazil, I always build two sites, one in Portuguese and one in English.
And since the common site endings here in Brazil are '.br' I’m trying to purchase the '.br' option of all the addresses I have as well but in order to be able to actually buy the site I have to give them two DNS addresses of the place I’m publishing the website with.
(one ‘Master’ and one ‘Slave’).
How can I get those addresses?"
Thank you so much for the help!!!!
