Two "Sites" folders -- Weird URL problem

I use domain names for most of my iWeb sites. Suddenly all sites have been assigned the same domain name when I publish -- www.insidetuscany.org. I've "disconnected" the domain on my Namesecure site, but it is still getting assigned. Because of this I can't even see the new sites I create or create a feed URL.
One possible source of trouble is my iDisk. Publishing has created two "Sites." One of the Sites folders contains pages published by Aperture. The iWeb sites use these pages. The other "Sites" folder include the iWeb sites that use the Aperture files. Here are the paths:
..../iDisk/Sites -- This is the Aperture path for the Aperture pages used in the iWeb sites.
..../iDisk/Web/Sites -- This is the iWeb path for the iWeb sites.
This is driving me nuts. I've tried republishing everything, but still no solution.
Thanks

I don't know what the original URL looks like.
The url for iweb 08 sites is always like this:
http://web.mac.com/username/sitename/pagename.html
I've tried
http://web.mac.com/scottgrabinger/iweb/sites/InsideTuscany
http://web.mac.com/scottgrabinger/iweb/sites/InsideTuscany/Inside%20Tuscany.html
.Mac urls never have "iweb/sites" in the middle. You can see that none of your other urls are structured that way. The thing to try would be
http://web.mac.com/scottgrabinger/InsideTuscany
which works fine for me.
I also get the "announcement" box that says "published to www.insidetuscany.org"
Just ignore the announcement box, it is not telling you anything that is relevant here.

Weird internet problem / ssl connection error, site loads in safari not in firefox or other way around

I really can't figure out this problem. Search the internet tried all kinds of things, nothing help so far.
I have a Macbook Pro (Lion originally installed) running on Mavericks (all latest updates). SSD installed and the DVD tray is replaced by the original HDD.
The laptop wasn't running very smooth anymore so decided to give it a fresh Mavericks install (even though I know it's not really necessary for mac, it helped, everything is much faster except a weird internet problem came up).
After freshly installing Mavericks I couldn't get into my google account anymore, just wouldn't load. Tried Safari (use this normally) and Firefox and Chrome, this last was gave a SSL connection error, both Safari and FF said the website couldn't be loaded because the server didn't respond. For Gmail I use Mailplane which is just stuck on a white page. I tried repairing the keychain, repaired disk and disk permissions, cleaned browsers, turned off firewall and antivirus (Shopos) started in safe mode, checked time settings which were all good. Nothing of this helped. I even ended up creating a usb bootdisk for Mavericks, formatted the disk and reinstalled from the start just Mavericks and nothing else, started Safari, still the same problem. As even this didn't help I figured it's not worth reinstalling all software so put back my backup.
Now I ended up somehow only being able to use Gmail normally in Firefox, Chrome still gives SSL error and Safari can load the inbox, but I can't open any messages. I get the error there is a problem with the connection. If I try in Basic HTML mode it surprisingly does work.
You would say, just use Firefox, finished...but the thing is that sometimes random websites won't load in Firefox, when I load the same site in Safari it works perfectly.
O yes, I also tried the connect to my iPhone and use the Cellular data network, then it's no problem using Gmail in Safari normally. You would say it's a router problem, but I have another Macbook Pro (just one model later running Mountain Lion) this one works perfectly with every browser. Also my iPhone does everyting logged into the WiFi network.
You can understand I really have no clue what's going on here, I don't see any logic. I can only think of a hardware problem in my Macbook, but don't see how that could cause these problems.
I hope someone is ably to help me ?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Two sites one problem

Hi all,
I have two sites I have published using a domain name I purchased. Site is hosted by mobileme. My first site is my companies website. The second site I created is for a client both get published to mobileme. The problem I am having now is that when you type my companies name www.trainbetterllc.com instead of being directed to the business site you get sent to the site I set up for my client which is password protected. I can no longer tell people to go to www.trainbetterllc.com because they will be taken to this password protected site. Instead I now must direct people to www.trainbetterllc.com/trainbetter_llc/train_betterllc/html. Is there a solution to this so I don't have to give the long drawn out address?

Thank you it appears your solution has worked. One thing I forgot to mention in my earlier post is that I use an app called iwebsites to switch between editing the two websites; initially I was concerned that this might be responsible, but after going back into iweb and going to my main business website and clicking publish all it appears that just typing in www.trainbetterllc.com directs me to the correct website. Thanks again for sharing you knowledge.

Thanks for the links, Limnos.
If you are willing to continue helping, here's what I found.
Just to clarify the two iTunes folders I am refering to are:
username-->Music-->iTunes
HD-->iTunes
I am presuming each location has a full set of files as outlined in the above links?
Not all the files are in both locations. Most are.
- The Itunes folder in my home folder does not have itunes library.xml.
- The Itunes folder in my home folder has a subfolder called Mobile Applications (username-->Music-->iTunes--> Mobile application). The Itunes folder at the HD level also has a Mobile Application folder but it is a subfolder of Itunes Media folder (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media-->Mobile applications) and has no files in it.
- I do not have an iTunes Media in the iTunes folder in my home folder.
- also the Itunes media folder (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media) has subfolders by type (books, movies, itunes u, music etc...) but the iTunes Media-->Music also has some of the same subfolders ( iTunes Media-->Music-->books, iTunes Media-->Music-->Movies, iTunes Media-->Music-->iTunes U). Is this normal repetition?
You say:
/itunes/itunes media/ music
but it is important to note what comes before all that.
There is nothing as far as I can tell before that first forward slash. Since the only iTunes Media folder I have is in the iTunes folder that resides at the HD level (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media folder) not the iTunes folder in my home folder (username-->Music-->iTunes) , I assume that's the one that holds the music.
Keep iTunes media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library are both checked on
Does that give more clarity into my problem?

TS3276 Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

Not sure if this is a fix, but I tried sending myself a test email from only the Bcc field, and lo and behold it now shows the Bcc field in all sent item previews;
...maybe leaving the 'To' field blank on purpose forced Mail to show it.
Rebooted the Mail program, still there - rebooted the machine, still there. Hope this is still relevant and it works for you too - J.

Want to have two sites on .Mac made with iWeb

I have two folders on my iDisk in the Sites folder with different names. How do I get two different URL's for each website.
So with two folders each titled different can I use the folder names like
http://web.mac.com/foldername/welcome.html
http://web.mac.com/foldername-1/welcome.html
Just got iWeb the other day, I've been using DreamWeaver so I'm new to this simplicity. I'm used to working on Linux webserver too. My old URLs used to be www.name.com/index.html and so forth now this .mac subdomain is tricking me out
Any help is appreciated.
Internet Wiz™

I think everyone will want to know how to do this. I am intested in working on more than two sites and publishing them not on a .Mac account.
What I have begun to do as a work-around is to label the sites by the domain name (xyz.com and abc.com) and then publish them to a separate iweb folder.
Of course the gotcha is that when you publish to an external folder you need to set the url - so each time you publish to a folder you need to set the url correctly for the domain you are working on.
Once published to the iweb folder you then upload the indvidiual files for the particular domain and you are set.
Too bad you can't work on mulitple sites, just highlight the site you want to publish to a folder and then have only that site published.
This is how I expected it to work.
hope this helps,
Dan

Two Sites Published With iWeb...Viewers Get Error Message With Second Site

I have used iWeb to create two web sites. I believe I have done so properly, using File>New Site to begin creating the second site. After publishing, I can visit both sites from within iWeb.
Curiously, the message panel that displays after successful publishing indicates the same URL for both web sites. Obviously, that's wrong. That address will open the first site properly (after automatically adding additional characters to the URL during opening), but is incorrect for the second site. As an alternative, I have visited both sites from within iWeb, and copied the URL from the browser window as the "proper" address.
When I use the copied URL's in my own browser, I can navigate to each of the websites properly. However, when I give those URL's to someone else, they get an error message that the second site cannot be found using the URL for the second site that I obtained using the "copying" technique described. That's the case even though both URL's work properly from my computer and browser.
Any suggestions as to what might be wrong?

Using two sites - setting one up with separate domain?

If I have two sites created in iWeb can I set up only one of the sites under a purchased domain name or are both sites linked to the domain name? Not sure if that even makes sense...
I have set up a site for a home business (web.me.com/[username]) and want to create another unrelated site for another purpose. I want to be able to use another domain name (www.[sitename].com) for the second site I want to create using iWeb.
Please help... I'm new with all of this! : )

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Using Domain Names with Multiple Sites in One MobileMe Account
There can be only one site using CNAME forwarding in a MMe Account. It must be the site that's at the top of the list of sites in iWeb.
Click to view full size
The other sites must use URL forwarding where the domain name is pointed at http://web.me.com/YourMMe_Account_Name/SiteName. You will see your full MMe URL but the domain name will get you there.
If you use domain name masking all you will see in the URL window of every page is http://www.yourdomainname.com. The downside to this is that visitors can only bookmark the entry/first page of the site and can only enter the site at that page. This may or may not be a problem for your site.
However, what's in the URL field is not really that important because the short domain name will get visitors to your site. After that they can bookmark the page they are interested in and don't have to memorize its longer URL.
If you use separate domain files for each account then you cannot use CNAME forwarding because it will point to the last published site and that may not be one you want.

How did I get two "home folders"?

I suddenly got into problems with my backup because the home folder did not have the usual content. When I try to see what happened, it looks like I have two "home" folders.
When I select Go>Home from the men, it looks like this:
And when I click on the Data drive below the Data folder, it looks like this:
The juliusson-folder in the second image is the one that I thought was the home folder. It contains the stuff that I want to back up.
Can someone see from this what could be wrong? I don't really know how it should look.
When this happened, I also lost my user settings.

I don't know if I moved the Home folder out of the start up drive on purpose It could have been part of my original configuration.
I set up my computer years ago by following some online instructions for an optimised set up for Photoshop work. I have three drives installed. One 1TB drive and two 2TB drives. The instructions that I followed were meant to put the system and programs on one drive (also used as scratch drive) and then have images and other stuff on the other two. Those two were set up as a mirrored RAID configuration.
Everything has worked fine for over three of years. Could the problems be caused by an accidental folder move?
It's hard to understand how an accidental folder move would cause this - the home folder path is also set within the system configuration. That means you can't just use any old folder as the home folder location.
I guess it's possible an accident moved it, but then there would have been some user interaction to have agreed to use it in the new location. It seems likely that you somehow managed to use the OS when the Data disk was offline - the folder got created in place of the old home folder, that caused a new one to be made (new home folders get the default template with Desktop, Documents, Music, Pictures etc).
Have you got another user account on the system? Is that user an admin? Does that user work OK?
You will need an admin account to fix this issue, please create one & leave the home folder for the admin on the main boot disk.
Do you have any data that you need within the current home folder (the new one inside the Data folder)?
Your original settings will be saved in the original home folder, but that is not being used at present. If you can abandon the new home folder here is what I suggest…
Disable automatic login if it is enabled - you need to stop logging in as 'juliusson' whilst you fix this, it can be re-enabled when it is fixed.
Create a new admin user account in 'System Preferences > User & groups', this is as a backup to allow you to manage the computer whilst fixing the home folder.
Reboot, login as the new admin account.
In 'System Preferences > User & groups', unlock the panel with the admin password (click the padlock)
Select the 'juliusson' user account, right click (or ctrl+click) the name & select 'Advanced Options…' in the popup.
Look at the 'Home Directory:' path. That needs to be set to the old location. By default that should be /Users/juliusson, yours looks like it should be /Volumes/Data/juliussonIf you are unsure use the Finders 'Go menu > Go to Folder…' to open '/Volumes/Data/juliusson' confirm that it contains some of your old user files.*
Save the correct path in the 'Home Directory' setting & reboot (do not edit any other Advanced fields)
*NOTE: In steps 6 you probably will not see the correct path since the Data folder is occupying the same location that the Data disk uses. To get around this you will need to rename the Data folder insider /Volumes, and reboot. I'd suggest you move the user home inside the Data folder to a new location as a backup & then delete the entire Data folder in /Volumes/. A reboot will be required to allow the Data disk to mount into the /Volumes/Data location. Once it mounts correctly login should work.
You can merge the home folders as Barney suggested, but this is probably safest via a manual approach unless you are willing to spend time & are experienced in comparing files with apps the can do selective copying (ChronoSync for example).
Please ask if you are unsure about any of this - it's major changes to your user data setup - a full backup is essential before beginning. Setting the home path is the correct way to relocate a home folder once the data is moved.

I seem to have two home folders?

I don't know how this happened (perhaps when I upgraded to Tiger?), but I seem to have two home folders.
The “real” one has the “house” icon and is in the proper place: Macintosh Hard Drive > Users > tim (my username). The duplicate does not have the house icon and is at the root level of my HD.
Both folders have mostly the same contents: ViaVoice, Sites, Public, Pictures, Music, Movies, Desktop, Documents, Library. The differences are that the “real” home folder (the one with the house icon) has icons on all of the subfolders too, while the “fake” one has blank subfolders. The real folder has the actual contents of my desktop in its desktop folder while the fake one does not. The “fake” home folder, however, has a crossed out pencil icon at the top of the window (meaning the folder is unchangeable?).
Is it safe to delete the “fake” home folder and how do I do so?
Thanks.

It should be perfectly safe to trash the "fake", as it cannot possibly be being used, after checking (you've already done it, I'm sure) that it contains nothing you want.
Have a Finder window open so that you can see the "fake". Launch Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities) and type:
rm -R
Type a <space> after the R
Drag the "fake" folder into the Terminal window. The folder will not move, but the line in Terminal will now be completed with the path to the "fake". Hit <return>.
If the "fake" has gone that's it. If there is an error message in Terminal then do exactly the same, but using:
sudo rm -R
…<space>, drag folder. After hitting <return> you will get a "password:" prompt. Type carefully (it will not show on screen), hit <return> again. Poof!

Join two sites together

Hi, i have two dynamic websites each connecting to two
separate databases via separate connections. I have tried merging
the two sites into one, but i get a problem because the database
connection for one of the sites dont work after i join them. Can
anyone please tell me the best way to join two dynamic sites
together, so that both their databases work.
thank you

the best way to do it is to create a DSN connection but you
have to make
sure that they are on the same server
if both the websites are on the same server that it can be
easily done using
DSN connection

Publish to two local folders in iWeb

Title says it all. How can i publish to two local folders in iWeb?
I have iWeb '08.

If you are referring to being able to publish two websites to different local folders, the way to go is have each site on a separate Domain file so that they can be launched in iWeb and published separately.

Two Media Folders? Different artwork for screensaver

Hi all,
Setup:
- Macbook Air
- Yosemite, OS X 10.10
- iTunes 12.0.1.26
- External HD
- Match subscriber
I have set up iTunes to have my media folder located on a portable hard drive and the library files (.itl, .xml, artwork etc) on the local machine. I use the iTunes artwork as a screensaver.
I have spent the past couple of months recovering from a corrupted .itl file. It wasn't the end of the world, all my media is on an external drive and I am also a Match subscriber, but I took the opportunity to run TuneUp Media over the library as I re-imported it to clean up track metadata, remove duplicates and so forth.
During this process I have uploaded clean songs to Match and I have downloaded songs that were somehow not in my library after I re-imported the music on my external hard drive.
For a fair while after doing all this work I noticed that I did not get any artwork for my screensaver if the external hard drive was not plugged in - which I found odd, given the artwork is stored on the local machine (or at least it seems to be).   Then I noticed I had a small amount of artwork showing repetitively on the screensaver...
As I investigated this it seems I have two Media folders. One on the local Macbook and one on the external hard drive.   The media folder on the local macbook contains songs that I have downloaded from iTunes Match as part of cleaning my library and Audiobooks that I have downloaded from Audible and then imported into iTunes.
If I look for a track that is stored in the media folder on the local machine, and then right-click on that track in iTunes to select "show in finder" it shows me that the media file is located on the External HD.
So it appears I files I am downloading from iTunes Match or adding from Safari are now being imported into a local "media" folder and then "consolidated" onto the External HD leaving them in both directories.
I'd like to not have duplicate data files and I would also like to get my entire iTunes artwork to show in screensaver when I do not have the External HD connected to the machine.
Does anyone have any advice?

If you store Album artwork the way i described using Command I (get info) - then the artwork is actually EMBEDDED in each song and is carried with that song wherever it goes.. and in this case it doesnt matter if u had 3 copies of the same album - all identical. You could even save a diff image for each tarck if u wanted.
If there is no artwork embedded, then coverflow places the image in a separate folder that is only referenced by iTunes for the whole CD.
You also might want to turn off coverlfow and continue doing what u had been doing in the past - add you won.
I also think i know what may be happening. You say they are identical except for track 2 - But problem is - I don't think iTunes can handle 2 identical CD's from the same artist.
Here's an experiment:
Goto any of the songs.... right-click and select "Show in Finder" the Finder will open and show you the song file and its location. Do you see one album once or 1 album twice?
If you see 2 of everything, i would recommend the following:
Rename the first album "December (2002)" and the second "December (2006)" then iTunes will definately separate them out.

Two sites, two Macs?

I know you can't edit the same site on two different Macs without a lot of fuss, but is it possible to have two sites on two different Macs both uploading to the same .Mac account? Or will they delete each other when uploading?

Yes. They will not delete each other as long as they have different site names. However, the last one uploaded will normally get the short url -- web.mac.com/username. The other one will require web.mac.com/username/iWeb/sitename

How to recover missing folders after merging two annual folders?

I had two 2013 folders, each with about 100 daily folders. The dates were differnt in each annual folder. I dragged one into the other. The folder where the daily folder was dragged from is now empty but those folders do not appear in the recieving folder. All the photos are still in the catalog, but do not show in the folders (left side panel).

So this is the answer you probably don't want, but I think its a better solution. Instead of investing time and energy to fix up your folders, put the time and energy into enhancing your keywords, and then use keywords and other metadata when you want to search for photos, and don't use folders to search. This is what I do, as I don't know and don't care what folder things are in, but I do have the ability to find all of my photos quickly via keywords and other metdata. Furthermore, as I read these forums, people having problems with folders is a major source of confusion and problems, while the people who have problems with keywords are mjuch fewer and have much less serious issues, and usually its a complaint about a feature that they want added to the handling of keywords.
But if you really want to work on your folders, please do the following. Go to one of those photos from the "missing" folder, make sure there is no question mark on it, and then right-click on the photo and select "Go To Folder in Library". This should highlight the folder where the photo is now located over on the left in the Lightroom Folder Panel (you may have to scroll up or down to find it). Then you know where the photo is located, and you should be able to figure out how to restore folders to whatever location you want. If you need more help with this task, please let us know.
