Sites created on different Macs

Unlike many here, I've had success creating quick, simple sites for various uses. However, some I've built on my Powerbook, others on my G4 at home. Although all are posted to my single .Mac account, I can only see the ones created locally on each computer in iWeb. Which means I can't edit any site not created on the computer I happen to be using at the time. Which seems ridiculous as the sites actually reside on .Mac, not on either computer! Any ideas?

Wrong. As far as iWeb is concerned, they reside in Users/username/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain on each machine separate. To edit a site made on another machine you need to transfer that file.

How to edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs?

How can I edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs? I know we create a folder with the files, but when copying that to Mac2, iWeb on Mac2 doesn't see that folder - I can't see what the linkage is between the app's interface and the folder of site files....

The answer is Domain.sites (extension hidden by default). You'll find this on the Mac you used to create the site at Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Copy that file to removable media and drag it to the same location on the other Mac. Launch iWeb and you'll see the site structure in the Site Organizer.
Once you keep the Domain package in sync between the two machines everything will work smoothly no matter which you use. There's a neat tip here which may help in this respect, but you use whatever strategy you prefer:

Canot edit site created on old mac notebook on my new one

I created a site using iWeb on my old Mac notebook. Everything worked fine,
Then I bought a new MacBook Pro and gave my old Mac to my partner, after deleting my acount and all data on it,
I thought that since I have my iWeb data files on my iDisk and I am using the same .Mac account as before that I would be able to edit the existig site with my new notebook.
However, whenever I open iWeb on the new MacBook, the only option I am presented with is to create a new site. If I say 'cancel' then the programme shuts down. There seems to be no option for opening and editing an existing site. I have searched through all the help and found no answers.
Am I stuck with a website that cannot be edited and am I forced to re-do all the work I did because I upgraded my Mac? Is there no way to import that existing site into the iWeb on my new Mac?
This whole experience is leaving me feeling very frustrated. I would appreciate very much finding out how to be able to edit my existing site with the new Mac I bought -- part of the reason for buyig it was better performance on iPhoto and thus making it easier (I thought) to use iWeb.

Yes, unless you have a backup of the Domain file that was used to create the site.

Transporting an iWeb site to a different Mac computer

You were all so helpful with my last question...
I have been working on an iWeb site but have not yet published it (I don't yet know the ftp server address to which it will be published).
I can't figure out how to save it to a jump drive or move it from my external hard drive (where it is now) to a different computer.
It seems as though there is an option of "publish to a folder," (which I could potentially then move from the external hard drive to the new computer) but I'm reluctant to do that for fear of losing it altogether.
Any advice???
Thanks,
Lara

Hi Lara,
Easily done!

Making changes to a published site using a different Mac.

I published a site last year using the previous version of iWeb. I now have iWeb '09 and want to make changes to the site published. I have no access to the original files, only what is on my iDisk. I don't see a way to download those files, open them in iWeb and make changes to them. is this possible or will I have to start over?

iWeb cannot import published files. You need to have a copy of the original domain file.
You can however use the published files to help you build the new site.....

Cannot edit older homepage created on different mac.

am not able to edit older homepage now. http://web.mac.com/myname still exists, but cannot edit or delete the old homepage, help would be good, thanks in advance.

You don't do this through iPhoto anymore. Open your browser and log onto dot-Mac.

Working on the same site on two different macs?

is it possible to work on my iWeb site from my desktop on my laptop?

Your iWeb data is stored, not in your actual html files, but in a file called Domain.sites which is stored in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. You should backup this file whenever you make big changes to your site, because if it gets lost or damaged, you will have to start all over. If you want to work on your site on another computer, copy this file to a thumb drive to move it around.
I have an Automator app on my site that will help you backup your Domain file(s). http://iweb.varkgirl.com

Creating Two Different Designs for the same site

I already have a website (www.ernestbuckley) but would like to design an alternate site with the same name and from time to time, just switch between the two for variety. Can this be done? Will I lose any data when I switch back and forth?

Apnewbie's suggestion is right on track! You already have your domain name ( http://www.ernestbuckley.com ) that you forward to:
http://web.mac.com/ernestbuckley/iWeb/ernestbuckley/Welcome.html
If you made another parallel site with the different design and called it "ernest2", all you would have to do is to switch your forwarding to:
http://web.mac.com/ernestbuckley/iWeb/ernest2/
You can continue to edit both sites and when you want to switch sites, just change your forwarding again to the other address.
BTW, if you want to start another site, you might consider using a program called "iWebSites" to help you manage your sites in separate Domain files. That way you keep them completely separate from one another and maintain the ability to edit and publish them independently of one another. Here is the URL for more info...

First FC site created and Thoughts about FC

Just completed my first site created using PScs4 and FC beta 2.
bigimpressionsmobile.com
Program does just what I want. No Coding!!! Took about 15 hours to create the site. Would have taking me a week to do it in flash. I know a little action script but do not wish to learn it in-depth. I am a designer.
Please note: Background image may not match the background in flash. No wmode transparency support .
The Bad first.
Hate that there is not a timeline scrubber!!!!! Current preview system between states slows down my productivity. Would like to see live feedback in the final.
Timeline panel is very confusing when you have a lot of animation. I am guessing this is do to this being beta. I hope the timeline will work like the layers panel. I would like to restructure the order.
Deleting does not delete. I get why it just hides it, but I would still like a short cut option to do a complete delete in the final.
No indesign support! Please create Indesign Catalyst.
When converting to buttons name changes. I am guessing this is a beta issue. Better be.
That's really it b/c I know this is just a beta so I will not go crazy about my other issues! Like no support for video alpha channels and cue points.
The Good
No Coding!!!
Takes me half the time to create an interactive site using this program! No Coding! No headaches.
Easy to use. Air deployment
This program is a sure winner if the final has video alpha channels, cue point support, better timeline and animation functionality similar to flash, and wmode transparency support, third party plugin compatibility with slideshow plug-ins like slideshowpro.
Final thoughts
After creating my first fc site. I see myself only using this program for interactive headers, microsites with no more than 20 states, slideshow navigation, interactive web banners, custom preloader creation, Quick and simple online presentations a la powerpoint and keynote style.
Would use it heavily for video interactivity if you guys put in video alpha channels, cue points support, and custom skinning functionality(same method as the scrollbar and sliders)! I do a lot of green screen shoots.
State(Page) transitions(slide, page flip, dissolve, swf alpha transitions, etc.) as an option. Then being able to manually animate in the content would be a nice addition.
If there were any kind of coding I would like to see, the coding method used to create menus in Encore from Photoshop. I can handle that! I woulds speed up productivity. Maybe put that in CS5!!!
Thanks Adobe.

Thanks for the feedback!
When I imported video with an alpha channel I got a black background. Is the preview going to be black in playback? I did not export the file to test though. I will try it again and see if it works. How should I set my alpha channel when I export from AE or PSCS4?
The timeline panel is not that confusing. I think the main issue with the current version is that I cannot reorder them and when I add a new effect most of the time the effect goes to the bottom, but sometimes they pop up at the top or middle.
If the object order in the timeline matches the layer order, that would be a big improvement. I still would like to have a preview scrubber in the timeline. It will speed up my productivity.
Will there be another beta before the final release? Is it still scheduled for Q1(before end of march?)
New Issue (probably just beta issues)
"edit original" is causing a lot of headaches!
I have created the bigimpressionsmobile.com all in PSCS4. When I choose "edit original" It only gives me an edit in Illustrator option. Not sure why, but it is causing major problems when I try to update a graphic.
Everytime I update a graphic I loose all the effects and the name changes. That slows down productivity BIG TIME!
Other things I would like to see...
1. Would like to have edit original functionality for AE.
2. A skew and reflect shape button.
3. A simple built in form script.
4. I know cue point support and action script is the best way to interact with video, but I would like to be able to trigger a state or nested state when I reach a certain point of the video. This maybe a little complicated and I guess I can create some type of workaround.
This is my vision. I want to be able to have an actor appear on screen and say "Welcome to my site. Blah Blah Blah....Please choose from one of these options listed below." When the actor says, "listed below," I want to be able to go to the next state with the animation happening while the actor is still in the background moving or walking away.
This could work if I can add 1 video to 2 states and have it stop at a particular time then start in the next state at a particular time. I know this could be done with just 2 different videos but I would have to export "TWO DIFFERENT VIDEOS."
A good example of a solution is incorporate the "trim video" option found inside Keynote.
Another option is doing something similar to Powerpoint's, on the mac, "Play across slides" for video option. I can delay the transition to anytime to go to the next slide while the video still plays. This functionality would be a GREAT solution if cue points are not an option!

IWeb doesn't complete publishing - Using two different Mac's, works on 1

Hi,
I've recently attempted to edit my sites from two different machines; I have correctly copied and used the Domain file. The problem is that when I try to publish the site, iWeb creates the pages, gets to the empty circle which starts filling up and then it tends to stay like that without completing. This is strange as for a test I was only trying to load a blank page. Futhermore Activity monitor shows that data is being sent, actually it was Mb after Mb for a blank page and after 30mins or so i called it a day and quit iWeb, after which activity monitor showed that the data being sent has stopped. The page hadn't uploaded. iWeb still publishes fine on the other machine and I can write and read from my iDisk manually. But cannot successfully publish from this machine.
Any Ideas?

Well i had a problem similar. Here are something to try. TRY
1. Un-Plug Or Turn Off You Airport Or Internet Cord For Thirty Minutes
2. Log out of your .mac account from the preferences and then log back in ten minutes later
Well i hope this works. I just hate it when something is suppose to work and it does not.

Using a different .Mac account in iPhoto

We have a .Mac family pack. My wife and I each have a personal account and we would like to use a completely different .Mac account to post our web galleries, but I don't want to have to create a new user on my Mac just to use iPhoto. Is there a way that iPhoto can use a different .Mac account than the one associated with my user account on my computer to publish galleries?
Thanks,
Aaron

How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?

How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?
We are two people using three difrent Macs, 1 Iphone and 1 Ipad with separate USERS on each Mac but sharing the same Apple ID: xxxxxx
I set up the first user to iCloud and it was OK but when I set up the second user to use iCoud the first users's info gets mixed with the second user's info?
Do we have to set up a diffrent Apple ID for each other?
Sometime ago I added my friends E mail (yyyyy) to the main Apple ID (xxxx) as for using his E mail account (to separate our e mail accounts, and it's working ok) but now when I try to create a new apple ID whith the same friend's e mail (yyyyyy) it says that his mail (yyyyy) is already an apple ID when the Apple ID is really my E mail (xxxxx)... any clue?
Thanks

I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered
Go here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
Hope that helps

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.
