Redirecting old Homepage to iWeb

For many years I've had an online library of images made with Homepage. I have now completely remade the site using iWeb and deleted the Homepage. Google however still has a cache of the old pages and Apple returns a 'Page not Found' message if the link is followed.
So- can I put a page on my iDisk called homepage.mac.com/username/CATCH-ALL to redirect any of those links to my new iWeb site? There were hundreds of photoalbum pages by the way.
old site- homepage.mac.com/cjbphotography
new site- web.mac.com/cjbphotography
G4 Dual, 17" Powerbook, iMac, iPod, and more Mac OS X (10.4.4)

the index.html file is basically i a file that can be used to redirect people.
dan,
you can download the file - but you will need to edit the file because i have made it specifically for him above. open the index.html file up with textedit. be sure you have the preferences set to "ignore html commands." otherwise you will see a blank file.
then search for: http://web.mac.com/cjbphotography
and replace it with your site: http://web.mac.com/username
and yes, you would have to overwrite the existing file to make the old site be redirected to the new one!

How can I make my old Homepage take me directly to my new iWeb site???

Is there I way I can have it so people don't first have to "land on" a .Mac homepage and then push a "button" to get to the new iWeb site?
It would be GREAT if anyone knew a way to do this... I am so excited with my new site, but need it to replace my old .Mac homepage (or at least make it so people are automatically redirected to the new iWeb page)
Anyone have some ideas??

They should go all back into the green Purchased playlist when you make another purchase.
How can I get it back into a playlist other than dragging each song
Make a Smart playlist and set it to Kind contains Purchased, then you won't have to drag any songs.
I have over 3500 purchased
Really?
3500 purchased songs?

Any way to add a link FROM HomePage TO iWeb?

Any way to add a link FROM HomePage TO iWeb? The instruction I found in Help only discussed adding a link from iWeb to HomePage. Since most of my family already accesses my HomePage, I'd like to be able to add a link to the iWeb pages
This is the only instruction I've been able to find in connection with this topic: "If you’ve previously published webpages using HomePage, those pages are still available at http://homepage.mac.com/YourMemberName. Websites you create in iWeb are available at http://web.mac.com/YourMemberName/iweb/SiteName. If you’ve created webpages using the .Mac HomePage feature, you can put a link to your old homepage on the first page of your new iWeb site. On your iDisk, your HomePage sites are stored in the Sites folder. Your iWeb sites are in the Web folder."
Thanks

I'll try this, but why in the world should it be so complex? I'll let you know if it works. but how do we tell Apple/Mac that this shouldn't be rocket science, but rather something that's done with the click of a button. They're both .mac software products. Why can't they talk to each other?

Cannot update old Homepage

Went to post some recent photos of a commission painting in progress to a homepage and found that I cannot click on homepage anymore.
I read the forum and tried the going to the site to edit the page But when you edit and exisiting page there is nowhere to ADD any photos to the pre-existing page. (My clients like to see the beginning of a painting and the regular updated postings of its progress.)You can remove individual photos but even after adding the new updates to the folder in iDisk it does me no good as I cannot get them to replace the existing ones on the old homepage.
The only other option seems to be creating a whole new page which is proving impossible as my iDisk Library on .mac's end is showing up as endless numbers of code and not photos....
Any solution out there other than give up and publish a plain photo page in iWeb?

Thanks again for advice on homepage, I did find I was exporting the photos Way too big as I just got new Canon and it makes Big pictures, so I corrected the size issue and resynced my iDisk.
I did as you said but again .mac is running slower than molassas so accessing my homepage photos from the idisk is proving nearly impossible as whenever I try to access my pictures I get this CODE:

Homepage via iWeb problems with google etc.

I created a homepage with iWeb uploaded it to my university's server and created a new link with nic.de.vu. Then I registered it at google, yahoo etc. I got a message that the registration was successful. But this happened more than four weeks ago. The page works if I type in the adress but I can't find it on any search engine.
How long does it take or made I a mistake with iWeb?
I would appreciate help.

2 Homepages with Iweb ??

Hi, I am really in trouble...I created 2 homepages with iweb. Homepage 1 is already online. Everything fine so far. The problem is the second homepage as it is apparently using the same index file as homepage number 1 - can this be? I do publish through Strato and not Mac. I export the homepage number 2 to a separate file. But homepage number 1 is always registered together with number 2. i cannot separate the 2 homepages.
And if I open the folder of homepage number 2 and copy the index file on the same level as folder homepage 1 and hompeage 2 mac askes me whether I would like to replace the existing index file . This is the index file from homepage number 1. If I do this, it is not getting better. My homepage number 2 is not working...urgently need your help - thanks!!

Yes, I understand perfectly that you are not using MobileMe to publish to, which is why I asked how many domain names you had.
I know you said that you have separated the folders, but did you separate the domain files? If not you need to do this so that the sites can be published to a folder separately. To find the domain files, go to User/Library/Application Support/iWeb and then domain.sites file.
Have you given both your sites different names within iWeb at the top? If not, you should do this, or publishing your sites might get confusing.
When you publish to a folder from iWeb, what you get is a site folder that has the same name as your site within iWeb, plus a separate index.html file. You need to upload both of these. What I suggest you do is go to your second site within iWeb and publish this to a folder again and you should get the site folder and the index file published. Then upload to your server again and if you upload both, then it should work. You do need to place the items in the Public_html folder on your server for your site to be seen.
If I were you, I would use a good ftp program such as Cyberduck to upload - it is totally free to download and easy to use.

I have just upgraded to new firefox version 4, but I want the old homepage of version 3.6. Can it be done? Thanks.

Don't know if there is an option make the download window stay up, but you can bring it back with Ctrl+J then right-click on the download to open the folder it was downloaded to.

I tried to change my homepage but I don't have the "apply" button. When I open the browser again, it goes back to the old homepage.

when I try to change my homepage, there is no "apply" button to hit, so the browser reverts to the old homepage when I reopen my browser. I made sure my browser is updated, but that did not help. I was able to change my homepage a long time ago, successfully, and it stayed there. I did not notice when this changed or what may have caused the change to come about. I am running Windows 8 with all the latest updates.

I tried under Options>General>Startup several times. I typed in the new homepage and I also tried Use Current Pages, still same results. the new homepage stays until I restart the browser, then it goes back to the previous one

Redirect to Homepage upon logout

Please tell me how to redirect to homepage(example: my homepage is www.oracle.com) when I logged out from my application.

Hello
You could try the following
Set the Logout URL as

Create page 999 with no regions
In the Security section set Authentication to 'Page is Public'
In the HTML Header section of this page add the following javascript<script>

IWeb '09 "redirects" my homepage to another "named page"

because it redirects to another named page instead of www.mydomain.org/
it redirects to....
http://www.thechurchofgodalaska.org/TheChurch_of_God_inAlaska/HomePage.html
this causes ALL the search engines to NOT find it anywhere! It was coming up on the FIRST page of Google when I was using iWeb '08. Now that I have updated to iWeb '09 none of the search engines can find my page at all.
Can you help?

Firstly, where are you publishing your site to? MobileMe or an External server?
If MobileMe, then how are you re-directing your domain name to your site? Are you using CNAME forwarding or ordinary masked web forwarding?
iWeb 08 was the same as 09 in this way.
What you need to do is go back to your domain name registrar and check your domain forwarding settings there to see where it is pointing to. For CNAME it should be just web.me.com and if using web forwarding, then it should be pointing to web.me.com/username/sitename.
It looks to me as if you have used CNAME forwarding? If this is so, then go and check that your domain is forwarded just to web.me.com and nothing else.
The forwarding however will always be forwarded to www.domain.org/sitename/pagename, you can't get away from this and if you want anything different then change to masked web forwarding instead - if you do this, then your url will just be www.domain.org for every single page of your site.

Has anyone published their iWeb site to their old Homepage folder?

Hi,
I'd like to avoid changing URLs, and was thinking I could just publish the iWeb site to the folder my homepage site is in on my iDisk. Would that work? Has anyone done that before? Any issues I should know about?
Thanks for your help!
Lora

Lora. It can be done but not much is to be gained and many features will not work the same as if published to a "folder" and then uploaded to your iDisk.
Do a bit of "homework" and learn some of the rules about iWeb, Homepage and your iDisk.
Changing your URL's is the easy part. Getting all the external parts to work is, well, work.
Plenty of ways to integrate older pages (via external links) into your new iWeb pages.
The brave can edit the html code to make their own iWeb and Homepage Sites:

IWeb and old homepage file sharing

Hello Everyone,
I'm having better luck with iWeb and progress is being made. My question is:
(Since I have many of my stories and images scanned as .pdfs I want to put them somewhere and then just make one link back to the stored files so that my editors and readers can pick and download what they want.)
Should I use my idisk to store the pdfs in bulk or should I use something that iWeb has that I don't know about?
-Mark

I want to put them somewhere and then just
make one link back to the stored files so that my
editors and readers can pick and download what they
want.
You could put them all in your iDisk public folder and then create an iWeb page that consists of a list of individual hyperlinks to these files. Or you could create an iWeb page with links to all these files while they are on your local drive, and it will copy them and upload them as an integral part of the iWeb site. You might want to test the options with just a couple files to see what works best.

Can I convert my old 35 page IWeb website to IWeb 09?

I currently have a 35 page website that I created in the old IWeb. I want to update to OSX panther and
I Web09. Will there be any issues opening the old website and working with it in 09?
Thanks for any help.
John

John:
There shouldn't but be sure to keep a backup of the 08 domain file before you open it for the first time with iWeb 09.
You mean upgrade to Leopard, right? I'd run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions first followed by a verify of the disk. If repairs are indicated boot into the leopard install disk and run Disk Utility to repair the disk from the Utilities menu in the first window after the language selection window.
Install Leopard and then run the 10.5.6 COMBO updater. You can get it from the Apple Downloads page. I find it safer to download and run the necessary updaters manually.
If you want to keep iWeb 08 available just in case make a copy of the application and name it iWeb 08. Then the iLife 09 installer will update the plain iWeb application and leave that one untouched.
There have been issues with the red site and page icons making it necessary to publish every page each time you make a change to just one page. I've gotten around that by creating a new site for each page of my family site (currently have 79) so that I only have one site (usually consisting of only one page- a photo page) to edit and upload each time. This keeps the domain file size down.
You can link to a another iWeb site in the navbar by creating a blank page with the name of the other site and adding the following code to an HTML snippet on that blank page:
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.location.replace('URL TO SITE/PAGE YOU WANT TO REDIRECT TO');
</script>
This will immediately redirect the visitor to the other site. A return button can be put on the other site's page (I turn off the navbar in those sites which act as individual pages) so it appears like part of one big site.
If you're interested in that approach this is how I split up my original multi site domain file. You would first create a new site and drag page 1 to it. Then create a new site and drag page 2 to it. Again keep a backup of your original domain file.
I use iWebSites to manage over 40 individual sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process and move it to another location on your HD until you're satisfied the separation process is completed and what you want.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

Can I clone a .mac Homepage to iWeb?

I would like to clone my old .mac Homepage (still active) to iWeb. One complication is some of the links were password protected and I neglected to unprotect them before Homepage went away.
Howard

You will eventually be able to access Homepage according to .Mac: System Status says members cannot access the HomePage application and this statement in your Me page:
"*System Status*
MobileMe members may be unable to access groups.mac.com.
MobileMe members cannot access the HomePage application. Service will be restored ASAP. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Read more."
It just may take a few days. Otherwise you could try copying the Homepage folder for your site from it's current location to the iDisk/Web/Sites folder and see if that might open it up. The URL would be different.

How can i import my old website into iweb

hi,
my harddrive crashed and I lost all my data. When I set up OSX for new I downloaded my website (www.et-voila.net) from my ftp and I wanted to import to i-web. But I found no possibility do this.
How can I work on my old (i-web made) Website with my new i-web (i-web '08)? There must be a possibility!!
thanks for your help

"iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but *there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb*. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up."
