Small Business on iweb or using dot mac

Hi, I am wonder is there any way to do a small business using iweb or using other tools integrated with dot mac?
I am looking for something like isell that allows easy edit, shopping cart, visa payment method, etc(however, this need additional subscription with macdock or rapidweather, and has low disk space)

Quote from .Mac Terms and Conditions...
"In addition to the .Mac account limitations on bandwidth and disk utilization, certain commercial or business uses are prohibited, including the following:
• Operating any type of e-commerce site, including any online store or shop, or software distribution, or any website whose primary purpose is to generate advertising revenue through the posting of automated Content (i.e. ’zombie’ site)"
You will find that a commercial hosting company will give far more reliable service, tech support and shopping cart facilities.

  • Using iWeb for non dot-mac sites

    Hi all,
    I own a number of domains that I'd like to use iWeb on. Am I able to utilize iWeb for a non .mac domain, or do I need to use something like Dreamweaver?
    Many thanks.
    -Hugh

    No, in fact I have a sneaky suspicion that not using dot-mac sites will eliminate a lot of problems other people have. You will also lose some of the effects like the nicer slideshow etc.
    I have never used dot-mac and never encountered any of the uploading/publishing problems that are so often mentioned on this forum.
    Here is what you do:
    After editing your website you choose :Publish to a folder.
    This lets you choose a location on your hardrive into which all the necessary files will be compiled/rendered. In this folder you will find an htlm file plus a folder with the necessary files for easch of your pages.. This publishing is done lightning fasy pecause it is done locallly and not trhough your internetconnection like when you published to dot-mac. Also post-editing is easy and hassle free.
    For editing and uploading my website I use "Transmit" but there are lots of other applications like "Fetch"
    What to upload?
    Well I believe the jury is still out on this.
    I just upload the contents of the published folder and that works for me. Other publish the whole folder plus the dummy "Index file" that is generated outside that folder. You will heve to find out for your self.
    If any changes or editing has to be done afterwards, I republish and then just upload the altered files.
    There is one more thing I do, and I believe others don't. I keep my domain file in the same folder where I keep the Published folder.
    E.g. there is a festival website, so I have a folder "Festival" in which I keep the domains file, and the published "Festival website" folder.
    This way it is easy to keep various different websites.
    When you want to edit one of them, go to that folder and double click the domains file, this will start iWeb with the right website for you to edit.
    Really very easy.

  • What is the best Business tax software to use on MACs

    What is the best Business tax software to use on MACs?

    Get rid of Norton a/k/a Symantec. It is one of the worst pieces of trash you can install on a Mac.
    You do not need any additional anti-virus software than is already designed into OS X to protect your Mac against malware. I assume you paid enough for your iMac and that's part of what you paid.
    If you use Windows, or are concerned about harboring viruses that target Windows, or care about friends who use Windows, then get ClamXav. It's in the App Store and it is free.
    Since friends don't let friends use Windows, I have no use for it.

  • I own an iPad 2. I run my business on Dell PC and Small Business Server. I use Logmein Hamachi to access between PCs. I have installed Logmein on my IPad. Need help connecting to my businesss PCs....

    I own an iPad2 and run my business on Dell PCs and Small Business Server. I use Logmein Hamachi to gain access between PCs. I have downloaded Logmein to my IPad 2 and want to access my PCs. Would appreciate any help with this process.

    On the Iphone or Ipad you have 2 choices, both of which do the same thing.
    1. Use Safari to log onto Logmein website, where your PCs r listed. Choose which one u want & log onto it.
    2. Use Logmein Ignition w 1time purchase fee & it semi automates the process.

  • Problems with iWeb podcast at dot.mac

    One of my PC/Windows XP friends can't play audio from my podcast created in Garageband & iWeb at dot.mac. QT will not open. He has the latest version of QT for Windows and no ISP problems that I know of. The files are quite big but fine with Mac OSX and several other other Windows users.

    I'm attempting to open your:
    A%20Visitation%20from%20Lawrence%20Russell.m4a
    file using the Open URL feature of QuickTime. I purposely truncated the URL.
    I'm a pitiful dial-up user and it appears your file isn't set to "fast start" so the entire download must happen (not for me) before playback can begin.
    If the file (and the page code) were to allow "fast start" the playback would begin as soon as enough data was downloaded. The page code is set to autoplay="false" (iWeb default settings as I suspected).
    You could edit the published html file and change it to "true" but it may not be the bother.
    Check the export settings used to create the .m4a file. Be sure to "enable" fast start. Your visitors could (should) be instructed to click the playback button on the QuickTime controller, also. Those with fast connections should (could) get faster audio playback.

  • Trouble Viewing iWeb site on dot Mac account

    I have a home office and I also have a studio. When I am at home working, I have no trouble viewing photo pages on my dot mac account from either Safari or Firefox.
    When I am at my studio, however, I cannot browse my photo pages on Safari nor with Firefox.
    Safari gives me the "server stopped responding" error and Firefox displays "the server timed out".
    So, what's up with this?
    At the home office, I use wireless DSL access with a MacBook. At my studio, I'm using an iMac wirelessly on my network. The the service provided is through Comcast broadband cable modem.
    On both machines, I have iLife & iWork 08. I do not sync my dot mac account with the 2 machines. The original files for the photo pages reside on my studio iMac.
    So why can I browse my way through my photo pages when I'm surfing the web from my home office, but am unable to see them when I'm working at my studio?
    Thanks for assisting me if you can.

    I will when I go back to my studio. I'm just trying to understand where you are going with this. I have contractors who work in and out of my studio with their laptops. They use XP & Vista and they have absolutely NO problem what so ever accessing my photo pages. In fact, when I couldn't access from my iMac, I had one of them check to see if the site was down. They could see my pages just fine with no problem. So...if they can reach them using the same network while sitting at the desk next to mine...why can't my iMac reach the pages?
    Thanks.

  • Existance of Junk/Spam folder while using dot mac webmail

    I know that the mail app has it's own junk mail folder. Does the webmail side also have a junk mail folder?? Yahoo, for example, has a bulk (junk) mail folder. I basically on use my .mac email address via the webmail interface and just do not see a reference to the existance of such a thing.

    David,
    Thanks for pointing that out.
    The Mail boxes that I listed in my previous post came directly from my .Mac web page.
    I have never noticed that choice in the Mail preferences, perhaps because I have never received a junk mail from my .Mac account. I use another account for my public e-mail address.
    I checked the "Store junk messages on the server," but since I have no junk messages the folder is not created on .Mac. The folder will probably only be created on .Mac if I get a junk message.
    ;~)

  • Running a small business--which should I use?

    I would like to keep a business client database. I don't know whether to use AppleWorks, iCal/Address Book, or Palm Desktop, which came with my Mac. I like iCal because of its reliable reminders for meetings and other business related events, but the address book does not have a mail merge feature, making it useless for generating mailings. (Too bad, because sometimes the calendar reminds you that you need to send a letter to somebody, and it would be nice to be able to do it with a touch of a button right from your calendar program.) AppleWorks has a database with mail merge, but it has no calendar function. Palm Desktop has both the calendar and contact list with mail merge capabilities, but I don't know what the future of it is. I wish the various software programs "talked to" each other better in this day and age. What would you guys suggest I use?

    Tim,
    If you're worried about 'the future of' Palm Desktop, then AppleWorks is probably not your best choice. AppleWorks has reached the end of its development cycle, and indications are that there will be no further updates to it. While it will work with the new crop of MacIntel machines, using Rosetta, that's about as far into the future as there's any guarantee.
    That said, AppleWorks does, as you've noted, offer the possibility of using mail merge (for printed mailings), which could be the deciding factor.
    If you want to send email, rather than printed mail, then depending on the extent of your mailing list, and the degree of personalization you want, a combination of Address Book and Mail might serve your purposes.
    Your set of 'standard letters' could be kept as a set of Draft messages with subject lines, but with no listed recipient. To send a letter, open, then Copy the draft. Close the draft, open a New message, and paste the draft contents into the body of the new message. Add a subject line, then address the message and send it.
    If you're sending to more than one person, you can set up a group in Mail. Create a new folder, then drag the names you want into this folder. To address a message to everyone in the group, click in one of the address fields in the message, then type in the first few letters of the group name. Double click the name of the group in the list that appears (or press return or tab if the correct name is the only one listed, or the one that is highlighted) to populate the address field with all the addresses in the group.
    To avoid address creep, I place my own address in the To; field, and the rest of the addresses in the BCc field. Each recipient then gets a message with only one address visible (mine).
    "What?" you say, "No recommendation regarding Palm Desktop?"
    Only because I haven't used it. When Claris Organizer (which became palm Desktop) first appeared, a desk planner (eg.Day-Timer) served my purposes well, and was much more portable than the desktop computers I used at home and at work, with only sneakernet to connect them. Now that I'm retired, have a much more complicated schedule, and use an iBook with wireless networking, I'm finding more use for an electronic calendar, and have started to use iCal. I haven't compared the features of the two, so I'm in no position to recommend either over the other.

  • Teachers sharing one dot mac with iWeb need help- sites are being lost

    Sorry to be lengthy- Here's the question and issue first and then the background.
    Question/Issue: Anyone know a way we can have multiple people (eventually 20 or so) with their own computers creating sites in iWeb and publishing them to a common dot mac account without wiping each other out?
    Background:I am a teacher and at our school we have a single dot mac account. A few of us have been using iWeb (2 on iWeb 08 and 1 on iWeb 06) and posting our sites to dot mac with no problems. The iWeb 06 sites went to a folder under Web> Sites>iWeb in our dot-mac's iDisk; the iWeb 08 sites were directly under the Web>Sites folder. When sites were uploaded from different computers there was no problem (they all had unique names) and it worked great until this week.Even the 2 users both on iWeb 08 could send their sites to the iDisk and nothing would be deleted, just more site folders were added.
    We are now all on iWeb 08 and so nothing goes into the folder on the dot-mac's iDisk under iWeb, they all go as unique sites- no problem I thought.
    Our problem is now that when any one of us update our sites, it wipes out everyone else's site (since their site isn't on our computer). It didn't used to be that way 2 weeks ago !!! Could this be something new with the migration to mobile me (if it is, this really ***** for us)
    I know a solution is to publish the sites to folders and then drag to the dot mac in sub-folders under Web>Sites instead of publish and each of us can have our own folder, but its a pain and not all of the teachers will be able to do this.
    I think there is a feature in iWeb06 called personal domains, but I think we can only have 2, so not sure if this will help.
    Does anyone know a way to set the defaults in the domain.sites2 file or in iWeb so it will use a sub-folder when loading up to dot mac? This way each of us can have our settings different and it will load for us automatically on the iDisk.
    Does anyone know why this used to work and now it doesn't?
    Any other ideas- Help Please

    From my own experience.
    When you publish to dotMac the index.html file in the root redirects to the top Site in the list of the iWeb domain file.
    I use ca. 40 Sites in some 30 domain files. And most are customized after publishing. Plus a lot more irregular stuff.
    iWeb remembers what Site in which domain was published last.
    When I choose a different domain file, iWeb will create a new index.html file to redirect to the "new" Site.
    As far as I could determine, none of the either published Sites are deleted. If iWeb did delete previous published Sites I would not change domain files.
    In your case the following will happen. Every student publishes his/her Site(s). The last one published will be the default Site.
    As long as no-one changes his/her Sitename or add a new Site at the top of the list, the default Site last published will be that.
    Make sure everybody's Sitename is unique.
    I use a custom index.html file in the root. So I have to pay attention that when I publish a new site, the custom index.html page is overwritten. I keep a copy of that index.html file in the root. I can replace the index.html file in case of emergency.
    Does anyone know a way to set the defaults in the domain.sites2 file or in iWeb so it will use a sub-folder when loading up to dot mac? This way each of us can have our settings different and it will load for us automatically on the iDisk.
    Don't look for hidden settings. If it was possible, it would be visible in the preferences. Accept the way iWeb/dotMac does its job. It wasn't designed to be used by multiple users with multiple computers and only one account. That should give you a hint.
    All other problems are purely organizational. Personally I wouldn't trust multiple persons on one account. Give them their own account. If they mess up things they are responsible. Or find another solution.

  • USing mini mac to access iweb

    I cannot access my iweb account using my mac mini at work. The system is 10.4.2.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, indianajoanne!
    The first thing I would do is update to 10.4.11. There have been a LOT of bug fixes since 10.4.2.

  • Synchronize Windows XP/Outlook 2003 with Dot-Mac?

    I'm very curious whether anyone has come across an application I can load on Windows XP that will enable me to synchronize Outlook with my Dot-Mac account. This would be an ideal application from Apple to support converts from Windows to Mac but also for those of us who are forced to use a Corporate Windows box for business but who also use their Mac's to get the real work done
    I hope this isn't a pipe dream!

    Thanks for the suggestion but I've already done that a couple of times each with a bit different perspective. The main reason I post ideas like this out on this forum is because I believe that the most creative solutions come from the real-world and people who enjoy coding to solve problems. Apple has become too big to concern themselves with every little feature or applet so they rely on independents to come up with the brilliant solutions while they focus on their core product.
    At the end of the day, they don't have the ability nor agility to address these issues but they also don't want to pay salaries for developers to come up with one or two fixes so from their perspective, its a win-win.
    Speaking from experience, people not under the proverbial thumb of a major corporation have much more creativity and are able to arrive at a solution typically much quicker. The only caveat to that is not having the resources available but the key to that is open source.
    Philosophies aside, its my hope that someone out there in the forum community will have seen this and either is or knows of someone who is or has been working on a solution similar to this.
    My .02 cents - thats why the posting - to inspire discussion and thought.
    Thanks!

  • Is mountain Lion compatible with Windows Small Business Server 2003

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me if Mac OS 10.8 is compatible with Microsoft Small Business Server 2003.  We connected Mac Os 10.7 machines to our MS server but we have no results with Mac Os 10.8.  Our Windows server is an HP proliant with SBS 2003 SP2.
    Thx
    Philippe

    I'd recommend calling AppleCare to research this one, you probably should tell them which Mail client you are using on the iMac...i.e. Mail, Outlook, etc...

  • Migration from Windows Small Business Server 2003 to Snow Leopard Server

    Hello,
    I'm going to migrate a Windows Small Business Server 2003 Standard to a Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server 10.6.x in a few weeks.
    I have 2 questions :
    Is there an official process to migrate my Exchange server datas ?
    Snow Leopard Server has it Wizards to help me to muigrate datas to proper services ?
    Thanx
    Regards,
    Gil DERENNE aka --( dB )--

    Thank you for your reply
    My network will be Apple only in a few time (1 server, 1 iMac and 1 Mac Pro).
    Now, I want to replace server and all services installed on it :
    - Active Directory (replaced by Open Directory)
    - Users/Groups/machines
    - NAT/Firewall and Backup (will be replaced by a Time Capsule)
    - VPN for mobile access
    - File and Printer sharing
    - Fax Services with Fax/Modem 56K !oops! (replaced by a free service offer by my ISP)
    - Mail/Calendar/Address book and notes with Exchange (replaced by each service to serv right thing : Mail, iCal, Address book...).
    I know what to do with all things but not for replacing Exchange and transfer datas to each similar service in Snow Leopard.
    In the network, Mail Server will be used by Outlook with IMAP protocol and other services by web interface (Windows computers are not a problem for me, it can be alone and only access web if necessary).
    The number of clients inside the LAN :
    - 2 iPhones
    - 1 iPod Touch
    - 1 PC Windows Vista (for a few time) with some VM (Linux and Windows)
    - 1 iMac 27' with 1 VM (Windows)
    - 1 LAN Printer HP Deskjet 6127 (RJ45 Static IP connection)
    The number of clients outside the LAN :
    - 3 PC Windows XP
    - 2 PC Windows Vista
    - 5 Nokia Smart Phones
    When I'm going to by the Mac Mini Server with Snow Leopard Server, is there some support to help me to do it whith them and is it free or do I have to buy AppleCare to access to this service ?

  • Setting up a small business network using mac and windows pcs

    Setting up a small business network using mac and windows??

    Ok that sounds great. What is your actual question as it relates to AirPort networking? Is it: Can I set up a wired/wireless network with an AirPort base station that support multiple Mac & PC clients? If so the answer is yes.
    If, instead, it is how to I configure an AirPort network to support a small business you will have to provide more details on both your networking & computing equipment in order for any of us to help you.

  • Using iWeb on other servers than dot MAC?

    Can people confirm that one can use iWeb with other servers than Apple's dot Mac site? The fine print says: *iWeb publishing requires Internet and webserver access (.Mac recommended). So from that I guess it is feasible but is it easy to set up?
    Thanks
    Rudy

    After the sales rep at the Apple store confirmed vehemently that I would lose no functionality publishing to my own server, I was disappointed to discover this was not the case.
    I wanted to use my own webserver, since there is a perfectly capable apache server already running on my iMac. I do understand that Apple wants to sell their dotmac product, but they have stranded too many users with their approach on iWeb.
    I upgraded to iLife 06 specifically for iWeb, and I feel cheated by the withdrawal of functionality unless I buy their dotmac product.
