Two Websites / One MobileMe?

Is this a feature or an oversight?
I have a MobileMe account, my first website made without iWeb is on the 'homepage.mac.com' domain (corresponding to the iDisk 'Sites' directory)
However, when creating a new web design in iWeb it gets published to the 'web.me.com' domain (corresponding to the iDisk 'Web/Sites' directory)
Are there any advantages/disadvantages to using one or the other?

It's not an oversight — that's the way it works. See this Apple doc:
_Using iWeb with your HomePage sites_
...and this doc about .Mac HomePage web app being discontinued:

Unlike a site published to the Sites directory, a site published to the iDisk 'Web/Sites' directory can be set up to accept a re-directed domain name via CNAME — see this Apple doc:
iWeb: Using your own domain name
I believe sites published to the Sites directory can only accept simple web-forwarding or web-forwarding with masking.
You can also publish a site made with another web design application:

Two MacBooks, Two Users, One MobileMe Family account

My wife and I both have MacBooks (different ones). We have a MobileMe Family account. Each laptop uses are unique MobileMe names, address books, calendars, etc... (i.e. I have an account, she has a MobileMe account). We both also have our own iPhone linked to these accounts respectively.
We also have a 'joint' MobileMe account (email and calendar only). This same joint account is the iTunes account for both of us.
We are still on MobileMe. I see lots of people having problems.
One problem I anticipate we will have is: How will iCloud know how to sync our accounts between hers, mine, and ours? There apparently is only one setting: ON and OFF.
We want our individual MobileMe accounts syncing email and calendars from our MacBooks and iPhones -- but our Joint account (iTunes, email, calendar) syncing to us both.
Is this going to be a mess on iCloud?
Thanks for any tips on how to better prepare for the conversion.

Roger,
Thanks for the reply.
I think I understand what you are saying.
I am wondering why the iCloud would be device-dependent. For instance, we have in our home two MacBooks, two iPhones, one iPad, one AppleTV. So, somewhat preciently knowing we'd eventually have more Apple devices, our main account (esp for iTunes) is our joint account. Joint email, calendar, and iTunes/iBooks content. Works great.
So, if we had a family with children with their own accounts, would it then not be possible for each person to have their own accounts and iCloud syncing off of, say, one home computer?
I recall in Steve Jobs's presentation that they 'demoted' the computer to just a device served by iCloud (much like the iPhone, iPad, etc... So, if an iPad can have multiple MobileMe accounts, as a MacBook may, why couldn't iCloud sync them all?
Thanks for the instruction -- just trying to figure out how to get things set up when we go to iCloud (we haven't turned it on yet for this reason).
I see in the discussions forums loads of issues from people switching over.
Maybe the right way to do it is each MacBook retains their accounts. Same with the iPhones. But turn off the other, shared accounts. Turn on iCloud...let it see everything, get synced: Computer A with iPhone A with iCloud Account A (email and contacts only). And Computer B with iPhone B with iCloud Account B (email and contacts only). Then add in the shared iCloud Account (email/calendar/iTunes only).
Thoughts?

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

Multiple website, one MobileMe account

OK, so I have created a webiste already and it is located on a domain name that I bought from GoDaddy.
I have just purchased ANOTHER domain name and want to create another website with that domain using iWeb '08.
How do I do that?

Only one site can use the CNAME forwarding method with a MMe account. All subsequent sites must use the standard domain name forwarding (and masking if desired) method. This screenshot shows how to set it up with GoDaddy:

If you opt of the masking all pages will display just the domain name and visitors will only be able to bookmark the first or entry page of the site.

Two iPhones, One MobileMe Account?

I think I know the answer to this, but I'd like verification before I plunk down the cash...
I've had an iPhone for a while now, and I've been a .mac subscriber pretty much since that was launched.
My wife just got her iPhone yesterday. She has her bookmarks, contacts, etc. I have mine. If she syncs to MobileMe via my account, the two separate data sets (bookmarks, contacts, and calendars) become merged, right?
The only way to keep her data and my data separate is to upgrade to the family plan for MobileMe, right?
Thanks,
cnsayre

Correct you need 2 MobileMe accounts, a family setup will be fine.

Two websites on different networks - two NICs

Hello,
I have got an xserve, running 10.4.3 with two NIcs on different networks (192.168.... and one on a 10.0.0...) , connected to two different ISPs. I would like to run two websites, one per ISP/network card.
I've read through Apple's doumentation - I think the problem is that OSX will only connect to the internet via one network card. Any I dea what I can try?
I have seen a post on the discussion board regarding the ipfw.conf and firewall
Thanks,
Nico

It has to do mainly with a routing table. In that routing table you tell the router if the destinition IP is X from Subnet Y send it through Gateway Z like this:
Destination | Subnet mask | Gateway
192.168.40.0 | 255.255.255.0 | local
10.65.1.0 | 255.255.255.0 | local
192.168.32.0 | 255.255.255.0 | 192.168.40.13
192.168.35.0 | 255.255.255.0 | 192.168.40.14
192.168.0.0 | 255.255.0.0 | 192.168.40.13
10.0.0.0 | 255.0.0.0 | 10.65.1.25
0.0.0.0 | 0.0.0.0 | 10.65.1.1 (Default)
Just set-up where things can come from and where they should go. Setup a good defauly and you should be set.
Hope that helps a little.
Sorry if the table is a little hard to read.

Two iPhoto libraries sharing one mobileme account

Hi,
I use my macbook pro as my main iPhoto library where I download photos off my camera, use events, create folders and publish to my mobileme gallery. I then have a old iMac that I use as a media centre where its iPhoto library subscribes to each mobileme gallery using the RSS feeds and pushes those photos out to my Apple TV. That all works a treat.
The problem I have though is that both machines use the one mobileme account (so things like urls, dock icons etc are synchronised) which means that the iMac iPhoto library displays all the mobileme galleries (published from my MacBook Pro) and downloads all the photos. this essentially doubles the size of the iPhoto library.
Is there a way where I can turn off the retrieving of mobileme galleries on my iMac so that the only photos I get is via the RSS feeds?
Hope someone can help
Stewart

I have a similar issue, and hope someone can help.
I have two MacBooks, each has iPhoto. I do not want all the albums on the molible me account to be on both machines. Can I set something so only albums I want are scyned??

Two iPhones, two computers, one family MobileMe account

My wife has an iPhone and a MacBook. I have an iPhone and a MacBook Pro. We have separate IDs on one MobileMe family plan. Up til now when I update my iCal on my Mac it shows up in her iCal on her Mac and visa-versa. But the only way to get that information to our phones is to hard sync each phone to each computer. Is it now possible when I update one of my devices it will go to all of her devices and all of mine, and when she updates one of her devices the information will wirelessly to to all of both our devices? If so how is this setup?

After digging through forum after forum this seems to be an issue with iOS 5, or iOS in general, more than about Office 365/Exchange Online. There are numerous Google threads about using ActiveSync and Gmail that result in the same issue. This really seems to be an Apple issue. Has anyone received feedback from anyone at Apple about this? From those that have on other forums there is just finger pointing between Apple and Microsoft and Apple and Google, none of them are taking responsibility for this.

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.

I have 2 different accounts at the same websites. Whenever I go to that website, one of my usernames prefills the UN field and I can't access the other account. I cannot overwrite my pre-filled username. Ideas?

I have 2 different accounts at the same websites. Whenever I go to that website, one of my two user names (always the same one) pre-fills the user-name field and I can't access the other account. The website rightfully rejects my password. I cannot overwrite my pre-filled user-name because the second I hit enter to logon, the original user-name rewrites itself into it's field. Neither of the user names is being saved by firefox anywhere in the "tools"; Options, security, advanced or privacy menu fields.
I did notice that that website has installed a cookie onto my computer called "_rememberme" which contains the user-name that is plaguing me.
This is a website that I access for very sensitive and important information and I must have both accounts accessible at different times.
Thanks, Joshua

You need to clear that remember me cookie and make sure that you remove a check mark to remember you on that website.
Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
You can disable the automatic fill of a name and password.
See:

To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Can I access two websites at the same time?

Does Dreamweaver have the ability to open two websites at the same time?
I basically have a CMS hosted on one server, that connects to my clients sites on other servers. I want to be able to open files on one server and edit them and also edit files on another server at the same time.
If this isn't available in Dreamweaver, then I think it should be. I often need to copy code from one page in a site to another page in different site. To have the ability to have two windows open, each connected to a different website server would be invaluable to me. By having separate windows, each can have its own server connection. I don't know how easy that would be, but I'd love it!
Cheers
Glynn

You can only connect to one site at a time. And you need to edit files locally, save & then upload to the remote server. AFAIK, no single FTP app is capable of connecting to more than one server at a time. You might be able to do what you want with DW open and an additional 3rd party FTP client like Filezilla, each connecting to different servers.

2 different websites - 1 MobileMe account - any hitches to look for?

Hi,
I have a website created on iWeb published through MobileMe.
I see I can create a second website on iWeb, but how can I ensure it will have a different web address (also on mobileme)?
I have read somewhere - that to keep the files of these two websites separate, I should create the 2nd website under a different User Account on my Mac. Is this necessary?
Thanks in advance for your attention.

how can I ensure it will have a different web address (also on mobileme)?
Every site always has its own address.
web.me.com/username/sitename1
web.me.com/username/sitename2
The topmost site can also be reach via just web.me.com/username

Why are you using a single labeled domain? I would recommend renaming the domain name to be something like domain.com.
Please refer to the articles below to fix your current issue:

Posting two websites on two domains

I have iWeb '08.
I have 2 Mac accounts, one personal one family.
I have two domains, one with each account.
When I open iWeb on the very bottom in 'green' is my Mac address.
My question:
I create a 'personal website' and I upload it to my 'personal account' no problem.
But now I want to create a 'family website' on my family account - and I use one computer.
How do I make sure that 'family site' goes to the family domain.
If I create multiple websites on iWeb '08 - how do I direct those sites to their proper domain.
I'm confused.
Also since I have your attention - if I have the HTML - how do I create a button?
And lastly - I know you can make a website 'password' protected. Is there a way within a website
to make ONE PAGE private. Let's say all the links on the 'home works' except for that 'one page.' Is that doable?
Thank you!

Log into your puter with new user name and then go and change your idisk user name and password to the 2nd .mac so that when you open the idisk it is that 2nd account, then you can launch iweb and make second site for that other .mac account...
making 1 page protected just use the help menu within iweb it will tell you how, it's simple...
