RSS feed when reverting to .mac from personal domain

Hi,
I successfully posted my website on a personal domain but now I want to get back to the regular .mac address.
I changed the settings of the .mac account and the website appears nicely in the .mac address. However, the RSS feeds keep referring to the personal domain. Any suggestion on how to fix this?
Thanks a lot!

I did a little bit of looking in the html files on my .mac account, and I found that the links in the home.html file were the culprit. They were pointing to my personal domain, which I am currently not using. I am assuming that the home.html is not changed when I publish to .mac, because I haven't made any changes to the front page of the blog. I went ahead and manually changed them in my home.html file, and haven't had any problems since, even with blog updates.
I assume also that a "publish all to .mac" may not work since I can't figure out how IWeb is getting the RSS link information from .mac. I have not seen any place in inspector or locally otherwise to change the main web site URL. Hope this helps,
Ryan

What is the best rss feed reader for my mac?

what is the best rss feed reader for my mac? I have a macbook pro, my OS is Mountain Lion, and browser is firefox. Thanks

What's best is a matter of personal preference. Search Google or the App Store and read the reviews.

Why do applications (Illustrator, Pages, Mail) launch so slowly with spinning ball (about a minute to 90 seconds) when Mac is connected to our LAN, but when I disconnected Mac from the LAN, those applications launch instantly and function normally?

I hope I'm submitting this properly, I apologize if this irritates anyone because of improper etiquette. Why do applications (Illustrator, Pages, Mail) launch so slowly with spinning ball (about a minute to 90 seconds) when Mac is connected to our LAN, but when I disconnected Mac from the LAN, those applications launch instantly and function normally? This is a condition which seemed to start just recently and abruptly. These applications reside on, and are launched from the startup drive, not from a network drive. Also, we have a NAS drive on the LAN that we connect to that also takes a minute or two to mount, when it used to (before this problem) mount on the desktop in a matter of about 5 seconds. We have three identical Mac Pros on the LAN, and they all have this problem when launching and using the above mentioned applications. When I physically unplug the network cable from the Mac, all applications launch instantly and function normally. I know very little about networks, so I can't begin to test or change any setting pertaining to our network - if that is where the problem lies. The only recent change to our network situation is that we lost or our internet and phone service due to massive flooding here in Minot, North Dakota (our ISP tells us the communication lines are under water and shorting out). But shouldn't our LAN still function even though we have lost our connection to the outside world? Thanks so much, in advance, for helping me solve this problem. Sheldon.

Hi there.
A slow LAN can have many things so its going slow.
1) is your lan 1gbit speed? (full duplex)
2) are the macs also 1Gbit speed? (full duplex)
3) does your nas has a firewall? (so you can see what the mac asking there)
4) on the macs is the firewall on? (does the programms can pass the fw?)
5) how big is the nas and how many files/dirctorys are on the nas? (big folders speeds down )
many questions, but sometimes there is a solution.

When upgrading my Mac from OS X Snow Leopard, to OS X Mavericks, The installer displayed my parallel and my PC applications. How can i get them back?

You either have to restore the Snow Leopard backup you made prior to installing Mavericks, or create a separate Snow Leopard partition to boot to in order to run your older PowerPC applications.
Either that, or upgrade the apps which won't run in Mavericks to newer versions that do.

Getting your RSS feed to work without .Mac

OK, so there have been a few people asking about this and I have figured out a way around it. I must warn you it is not a simple solution, but if you are comfortable using Text Edit to modify the code of your pages, it is a piece of cake - but still fairly tedious. If anyone has a quicker solution, please let us know! I would love to come up with an apple script to automate this process, but that takes time...
The reason Apple says you can only use the RSS subscribe feature by using a .Mac account is because iWeb creates an additional directory that those of us using 3rd party servers don't use. They do this to separate multiple iWeb sites on your .Mac account. When you publish to a file, that extra directory is the parent folder that you extract each page's file from to load to your public_html folder on your server, so you end up not using that iWeb site folder.
For example, in publishing to .Mac, I will find my Blog rss.xml file on my iDisk under Web/Sites/iWeb/BookEndMedia/Blog/rss.xml, creating the URL of http://web.mac.com/audiogeek/BookEndMedia/Blog/rss.xml. In publishing to my 3rd party server with domain www.bookendmedia.com, that file is found in public_html/Blog/rss.xml, creating the URL of http://www.bookendmedia.com/Blog/rss.xml.
The problem arises in iWeb's creation of the rss.xml file, blog-main.xml file, and blog-archive.xml file, which are all located in the Blog folder. Each of these files create links to the Entries files and jpegs, and in doing so adds the BookEndMedia directory, which is does not exist in our 3rd party server.
The way I found to fix this is after publishing and before uploading to open all 3 files mentioned above in Text Edit, hit Command F to find and replace all instances of "/BookEndMedia/" with "/", removing the extra directory from all links.
There is however one more glitch I found that has nothing to do with the extra directory. These .xml files that iWeb creates look for all jpegs from each entry in the Media folder. iWeb now stores these files in the same folder as the blog entry. Instead of changing each link in the .xml files, I simply copied each jpeg into the Media file.
After doing all this I now have a functioning RSS feed that any RSS reader can subscribe to and even see the pictures. The only problem is every time I post I have to go through all this again with each .xml file and copying the new entry's jpeg into the Media folder.
Hopefully Apple will come up with a way for iWeb to distinguish if you are publishing to a folder and write the appropriate code for creating these .xml files. Until then, we will have to do these extra steps to get what we want - or we can come up with an Apple Script to save us some time (anyone?).
In the mean time I will count my blessings in the fact that thanks to iWeb I only have to modify 3 .xml files and not write code for every single page of my site.
Hope this helps, and if anyone has any suggestions, please let us know!
And please feel free to give me feedback on my site.
Thanks!

Problems switching from personal domain to .mac

I'm wanting to move a site from my personal domain to .mac. However, when I attempt to publish the site it automatically attempts to publish to my personal domain. How can I change the settings to publish to .mac?
I attempted to solve this problem by creating a "new" site, but it still tries to publish to the personal domain rather than .mac.

I've done it. I just copied my data to the Mac and also copied the library files:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93732
This preserved all my ratings and playlists, etc.
I think there was a little bit of magic to get iTunes to find where all the music was now stored. It wasn't that difficult though. Plus only do this before you delete all your stuff on the Windows machine.

Flashing screen when awakening my mac from sleep

Help: What can I do to fix my screen issue-- It flashes for the first 20 seconds each time when I awaken my mac from sleep mode: Thanks!
(mac pro 2007 intel based)

Thanks, Linc. I was worried that since this was a refurbished computer, it was dying again. Makes sense, although alittle annoying that nothing really warns you this is happening. I almost cycled power the first couple times it happened, thinking it was stuck while waking.

Is it possible to create an RSS feed in Dreamweaver CC (Mac 10.8.5)?

I'm a relative beginner in terms of HTML/CSS and Dreaweaver CC. I've created a site using the dynamic layout option in Dreamweaver CC and now want to explore sharing out my content via RSS feeds. I've tried to install the Dreamfeeder extension but it doesn't work and I can't find much posted on this topic. What are my options here?

RSS Feeds are XML files.

Hosting .Mac and Personal Domain Separately - Help!

Hi,
I have three websites I have made using iWeb, and one personal domain. I would like to host two of the sites only on .Mac, and host the third site on the personal domain. I set up the CNAME and it works but I do not want two of the sites to be linked to the personal domain.
Is there a way to do this?
Should I copy iWeb and use the copy for one or the other?
Can I separate the website files or something?
Thanks in advance!

When I go to mysite.com, the iWeb page I want shows up, and I can go through the pages of the site. But if I type in mysite.com/site2.html or mysite.com/site3.html my other sites come up. I don't want those two sites to be accessible from mysite.com.
Thanks for the clarification.
Of course one has to know the names of your other sites in order to access them.
Some ways to divorce them more totally might to
+password protect them
+purchase another .Mac account (or use a family account) for them
+manually move them to iDisk/Sites. Then they would have the url homepage.mac.com/username/sitename (not sure all features would work).
PS A further option might be to use ordinary forwarding plus masking instead of CNAME. When you do that, your personal url is sent to your longer .Mac url, web.mac.com/username/sitename. I don't know what happens when you try to type in a different sitename after the personal name.

My Albums pages display incorrectly from personal domain URL

Pages on my iWeb website, created using the My Albums template, do not consistently display all the individual albums; one or more, or even all may be missing.
If I use the web.mac.com URL, e.g. http://web.mac.com/wpinnington/Photos/Holidays/Holidays.html the gallery pages always load properly; the problem only occurs when I use my personal domain URL, e.g. http://www.williampinnington.com/Photos/Holidays/Holidays.html.
I have discovered a work-around, which is to:
1) Create a new My Album page;
2) Move individual photo pages into the new My Album page;
3) Save;
4) Move the individual photo pages back to the original gallery page;
5) Save; and
6) Republish
I'd like to know what the problem is though, so I can avoid this tedious chore. The problem occurs in both Firefox and Safari, so is not browser related. Firefox Error Console says "Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to call method XMLHttpRequest.open." Safari also reports "Error: Permission denied http://www.williampinnington.com/Photos/Scripts/iWebSite.js (line 504)". Line 504 reads "req.open('GET',url,true);req.setRequestHeader('X-Requested-With','XMLHttpReque st');if(req.overrideMimeType)"
Can anyone shed any light on the root-cause of the problem? I assume there is a problem with the error handling in the iWeb code which creates the iWebSite.js file.
Kind regards,
William
P.S. I will leave the example URL broken for 48 hours before I fix it, so you can see for yourself.

Because of security issues, XMLHttpRequest is not allowed cross domain request, this is to avoid cross domain scripting.
So as long as you mask your domain, XMLHttpRequest will fail.

Returning multiple sites from personal domain to iweb domain

I have a family web site that I've posted to my .mac account. I've been asked to update another web site for a preschool that had been created previously by another mac user. She emailed me the domain and I was able to open it and make edits. I created two separate folders to keep the domain files separate. A few problems have happened since:
First, I can still access my personal account in both iweb and via the internet, but the address that appears at the bottom of the page is now the preschool address. I want this account to remain hosted on my imac account.
Secondly, for the preschool, the site should be hosted on personal domain. The site does show up on the bottom of that site (the same now as my personal one). What I would like it to post a temporary version of the password protected revised site on my .mac account until I am ready to replace the one that is currently up.
So, I guess my biggest question for the moment is how do I return both sites to the .mac host until I am ready to upload one of them onto the preschool personal domain?
When I go to the iweb folder in my idisk I can not move the folders containing the separate sites.
I have read other posts regarding multiple domains and they have not fully addressed this issue.
Many thanks, Emily.

Was the other mac user using the personal domain (CName) feature of iWeb?
Were you using it as well with your family site?
This might be the problem, as you can only use the personal domain feature with one iWeb site.

Two websites-one with .Mac and one with .Mac using personal domain

Good Day All! I know I asked this before but I think the question got wrapped in with another and I don't see that it has been answered. If I overlooked it I apologize for the duplicate post.
I have a .Mac subscription with one published website already. I am working on another website now in iWeb but I want to publish it using a personal domain name. Can I do this? If so, can I keep them from being linked together?? Does that make sense? Thanks! quinlis

Aloha,
if you use CNAME both sites will be reachable using either the CNAME or the web.mac.com/username/ address
if you use Webforwarding entering the personal domain will get to the site you pointed the domain to
but that site will also be reachable through web.mac.com/username/sitename/
I'd recommend you to use webforward with cloaking/masking/framing in your case. Thus the site you want to have the personal domain for will show the personal domain in the browser and will also be reachable through web.mac.com/username/sitename/ but your other website will not be reachable through your personal domain.
Note that using masking google will not index the content of your pages using your personal domain if you're interested in that.
Have a look at the following page for further information on setup and knowing what's CNAME, Febforward, Webforward with cloaking
http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWeb_Domains.html
I guess the best way would be having a family account or two .mac accounts so you can set it up as CNAME and your other site would be published to another account or sub-account and thus not reachable using your personal domain.
Regards,
Cédric

.mac and personal domain question

I'm sure this has been addressed several times, although, I can't find the answer in a quick search...
I set-up a personal domain on my account. I have several websites going in iWeb, however. Can I still host my personal domain on .mac, but still publish my other sites to my .mac url? How do I switch back-n-forth between my .mac url and my personal domain without messing things up?!
Thanks so much for the help!
Cheers,
Lilly

How do I switch iWeb to publish to my .mac rather than my personal domain? Is that possible?
iWeb always publishes to .Mac, nowhere else, regardless of what it says somewhere in the app. You can always reach all your sites via the url http://web.mac.com/username/sitename.

Mac/iWeb and domainnames have nothing to do with each other.
Your domainname is related to your webserver. With or without iWeb.
And there is no such thing as an iWeb DNS.
Check where you have your webhosting and domainname registered.
And in case the message did not get across, MobileMe ends at the end of this month. And so does Personal Domain, which is a MMe feature.
