Transferring iWeb to Network Solutions?

To transfer iWeb published folder on my desktop to NS is a nightmare. Is there any software for transfering iweb to a domain name company that would be easier to use?

You do not publish to a domainname, you publish to either MMe of a folder. The folder you upload to a webserver of your choice.
That server (or MMe) has a URL. A personal domain simply points to that location. If your location changes, you change the pointer.
You can use your personal domainname for any purpose ou like. Read this for some inspiring possibilities.

IWeb '08 Personal Domain Name Network Solutions

This is maddening and Network Solutions is no help. I have a domain name, say <wxyz.com>, registered with Network Solutions. The CNAME page has 3 columns of fields: "Alias" field; "Refers to Host Name" with Radio Button w/popup menu including "www"; radio button w/Other Host field.
I have tried
1. web.mac.com; www; blank
2 web; blank; mac.com (recommended by network solutions staff)
and neither work.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Sorry to answer my own question but I called Network Solutions again and got a great tech who knew what she was doing and solved my problem. She said they are now familiar with pointing a registered domain name to web.mac.com so the best is to call and ask them to do it--1-866-908-1240.
For the curious, here's what she did:
1. Deleted all "A" records, essentially the IP addresses that point to Network Solutions "Under Construction" web page, some with ads.
2. She added 2 aliases (CNAME Records) for the three fields as:
a. *; blank; web.mac.com
b. www; blank; web.mac.com
Step 1. allowed entering www in the Alias field which I couldn't before and became totally confused.

Creating a CNAME on Network Solutions

I am trying to create my first website with iWeb on me.com using a Domain Name I created at Network Solutions. And of course the instructions for iWeb don't quite match the forms at Network Solutions. I found how to create a personal domain name on my me.com account. It tells me to define web.me.com as the CNAME at my regristar's website. I found the account manager tool for CNAMEs at Network Solutions and am given two boxes to fill out: "alias" and "other host" The "other host" box has a radio button. Then there is another box with a radio button labeled "Refers to Host Name" and there are two choices: "www" or "@(none). I can check either the "Refers to Host Name" radio button or the "Other Host". I am guessing that I should check "Other host" and that is where I enter "web.me.com". Can some confirm?

The alias field should have the 'www' and the '@' symbols with the CNAME being set for both that then forwards to your host web.me.com.
The @ represents your domain name which is http://domain.com and then the www represents your sub domain which is http://www.domain.com. For both these options to work both 'www' and '@' need to have CNAME's forwarded to web.me.com.
If there is no option to set a CNAME for both of these - (there should be though), then you need to set the CNAME for one, possibly the www and then use web forwarding to forward the @ to the www.
Set it up like this and see what happens.

I built a site in iWeb (08)
I have a domain name with Network Solutions.
How do I post my iWeb site using my domain name as opposed to web.mac.com(etc)?
Many thanks in advance.

Using a domain name and .Mac are not mutually exclusive.
You can point your domain name to .Mac using either CNAME or web forwarding. However, if you don't wish to use .Mac at all, then you need to take out a domain hosting package that will provide you with your own web space and e-mail facilities. In iWeb, you then publish to a folder and upload using an ftp program of your choice such as Transmit or Cyberduck.

Personal Domain, CNAME, Network Solutions

Hello,
I just bought a domain name at Network Solutions. I tried to follow the iWeb instructions to point to the domain. I went out to Network Solutions manage tool and tried to set the "CNAME" to "web.mac.com" as instructed in your wizard tool and in help documents under support. Network Solutions requires and IP address and not a domain name for their CNAME entries.
Has anyone set up a personal domain with iWeb to work with a Network Solutions managed domain?

Go to this forum and type Network Solutions into the Search box.

Publishing to network solutions problem

I have been trying to publish my new site to my network solutions domain host.
I press publish then fill out the ftp form but it keeps coming up with a message that says "Incorrect password for "my user name" on "ftp.mydomain.com please try again
Obviously in the above message I have replaced the correct information with "my user name" and "mydomain.com"
But I know I am using the correct password for my domain?
I don't need a mobileme account account or anything do I?
Any help would be great

When I first tried to publish my web site directly from iWeb, I also had a lot of problems and it kept giving me a similar error message even though I was using the correct log in information. I believe the isue is more with the domain host's ftp site rather than iWeb.
In the end, I found it easier to publish the site to a folder and then use a separate ftp client (I use Filezilla) to publish to my domain host. It is an extra step but has never failed me.
Hope this helps.

Cname settings help needed for a Network Solutions Personal Domain

Hi-
I've purchased a personal domain name from Network Solutions. I've followed the instructions that Apple has given me, and have specified "web.mac.com" as the alias name, as well as specifying "www" in the drop down box in the next field to the right of the alias field. I've also set up my personal domain name on the Apple side. However, after 48 hours, I'm still seeing the "site under construction page" from Network Solutions when I go to view my personal domain. I confirmed on the Apple side that iWeb was now using my personal domain name, and I was also able to confirm that my domain name was/is pointing to web.mac.com. What am I doing wrong? Does anybody out there with a Network Solutions domain name have any experience with this?

Did you ever get an answer on this?

Can't make a connection with Network Solutions

I successfully published my site today to the GoDaddy server - no problems, the iWeb Site Publishing Settings Page worked great.
I have another site on Network solutions. I put in all the correct information in iWeb's FTP Server Settings block on the Site Publishing page. Hit "Test Connection" and it failed. Over and over and over. So get this - I call Tech Support at NetSol. They are on the line with me for half an hour and we tried everything and could not make a connection. We both gave up.
Is anyone having problems getting a connection with NetSol?
I just tested the Apple Publishing page with GoDaddy again and it still works just fine there.

This Apple doc may help:

Also, a forum reader wrote:
I just changed my "website URL" field to read nothing more than "http://". Problem solved.

Small Office Network Solution for Final Cut Server - Proxy Storage Etc.

Hi,
I haven't been able to find any answers for this question by googling, So I would love if anyone here had some advice. I have the 10 License version of Final Cut Studio with 5 clients at the moment. I would like to set-up our office in the most effective way, however we are a non-profit organization, so we are working with a limited budget.
My question is, does anyone know of any networking solutions for Proxy Storage and Media storage, that wont bottleneck, but is not as high budget/high tech as using an Xserve/XSan system?
Right now we would be looking at running Final Cut Server off of our 24inch Intel IMac (Going to beef up the RAM). We have a Gigabit Switch, 4 more intel machines running final Cut pro, and a direct attached Drobo for Media Storage. I know this is not an Ideal set-up, but it's what I have to work with right now. So, I'm looking for any kinds of tips and tricks to make this set-up work for us, and am looking at purchasing either a Network Attached or iscsI storage system for the Proxy Storage.
I hope this is a decent description of my situation, and would love some advice.
Thanks Very Much,
MacNomad

I can use cut and paste in Rich Text Editors for all web site hosts but one. I have tried the solution you provided, but it doesn't work. Any ideas? the website that rejects cut and paste is Network Solutions

I really hoped you would fix the security policy issue in release 4. I have to close Firefox and use IE9 to maintain a website I built with Network Solutions and I'd much rather not have to endure the slowness of IE. I also have websites with Wix and WEBS and have no problems at all using cut and paste with them.

Did you have it connected to the library mac when it froze? If so, why? I would be hesitant to hook my ipod to a unprotected public computer since it may be infested with viruses or have unknown hardware problems.
In any case, if you can get it to an Apple store they can probably help you with it, it sounds like it needs replacing.
A certain percentage of any complex product will turn out to be defective and will have to be returned, it sounds like you were unlucky enough to get one. Looking over the forums here it may seem like the ipod is plagued with bugs, but don't forget that there are millions who never have a problem and so have no reason to pipe up here. Personally I think Apple deserves a thumbs up for continuing to host these forums in spite of how they may cast a negative light on thier products to the casual observer.

I can send email but not receive on my iphone 3GS. Emails to my .me address are OK but not emails to the address hosted by Network Solutions. NS have checked my settings twice. I am using IMAP. Is this a problem with iCloud?

I use IMAP email hosted by Network Solutions for my main email address. I can send and receive this OK in my Mac Mail on my MAC book and also on webmail. However my iphone doesn't receive these emails but it can send. I have checked settings on my iphone twice with Network Solutions but no luck. Emails addressed to my .me address are received OK. I have a suspicion this problem started when I signed up to icloud.
my ISP is BTconnect
Any ideas?

Useful suggestions. In fact I had already deleted and re-entered the account details a few days ago without apparent success. The error message was along the lines of "cannot access the server".
Anyway about an hour after your message, my emails started coming through after a 6 month gap! - makes me think someone at Network Solutions monitors these discussions.
Many thanks

Can't load a page using Network Solutions website tool builder using Firefox 5.0.1; they recommend using 3.6! How do I get a copy of 3.6?

I use Network Solution's Website Tool Builder to manage several websites. Since upgrading Firefox to 5.0.1, some of the pages no longer load and therefore I can't edit them. The sites come up okay in the browser, but not in NetSol's editor. When I called their tech support, they said it was a Firefox problem. They said I need to use Firefox 3.6...Is there a way for me to get a copy of that version of Firefox?

I need to access Network Solutions website builder too. It isn't compatible with Internet Explorer v9, Chrome v13, or Firefox v5! I believe Firefox v6 is out now. This is a Network Solution's problem. What's involved in rolling back? Can you still get add-ons, plugins, and extensions for such an older version? You can't save your personal preferences can you?

Can't get Email client to work with Network Solutions Email server

This is a new Email account started after I installed Snow Leopard. The Email server is Network Solutions. I have tried all afternoon and evening trying to set up just one account / mailbox on the Mac and I still haven't gotten it to work. I have been over the settings multiple times with Network Solutions and they tell me all the settings are correct, but still no joy. When I try to 'Get Mail' it simply spins its wheels for a minute or so then displays a (!); i.e. it times out and stops trying. I don't know if it is something about Network Solution's servers that is causing the problem or if it something wrong on my end (most likely). Any idea what I can try? Is there a log someplace that will tell me exactly what part of the process is failing?

Problem solved. For some reason the POP client had 'SSL' turned on. Guess I set it by accident during one of my many tries. All is well now.

Does anyone here use Network Solutions? (shared hosting)

I've been attempting to link to my mySQL database through the Dreamweaver interface for the purpose of writing web-based applications. I consistently get an error that indicates that some problem exists but is not specific. A colleague suggested that permission set on the mySQL server might not allow REMOTE accept to the database schema. I called Network Solutions and got a somewhat tenuous reply that perhaps their shared hosting services won't allow me to use Dreamweaver in this fashion.
Does anyone here actually use Network Solutions (in other than a VPS-mode) and is successful in connecting to their mySQL database?
(NOTE: I am able to get the phpMyAdmin application running on the Network Solutions server to connect and display the contents of the database. But the mySQL GUI applications connect and give some information but to date have not allowed me to the see the full extent of the databse information the way phpMyAdmin does.)
Any suggestions for which ISPs do allow a successful connection would be appreciated. I am told too that many folks run a local version of PHP/mySQL on their Macs (which is what I am using) and do their work locally. Has this been the predominate mode of working for most of you?

generally most people use a local testing server to do their work. the easiest way to do this on your mac is MAMP. http://www.mamp.info/en/downloads/index.html
Although macs do come ready to support php/mysql, it will make you're life much easier using mamp. simply start it up and apache php mysql are all ready to rock. test your pages in the htdocs folder and connect to mysql using the localhost connection (and make sure you pay attention to the ports... use 3306 if confusion sets in).
as for connecting remotely to a database, yes it can be done... i do it all the time with my hosting (that is not NS), and you're have to do it that way if you're working on a sql server database / asp from your mac. but for now, i'd just work locally.
