Using a different .Mac name?

Is it possible to set iWeb to publish to a different .Mac name than the one that is currently registered under system preferences? I have one for work and one for personal and I'd like to be able to edit my Personal site on my work computer as well.
Thanks

You just change the name and password in system preferences/.Mac. iWeb publishes to whatever account is listed there. You might find it easier to set up a separate user account where these prefs would always be set to your other account so you don't have to keep switching it.

  • 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

    I assume the settings you are refering to gives that delay for marking the messages as read when highlighted for that period of time. Probably for scrolling through the list without changing the unread status. Lion doesn't have that selection, so I can't test that at the moment.

  • How to backup files to ensure future access and use using a different mac

    I recently attempted access backed up data on my LaCie drive from a different Mac notebook. I was blocked. I didn't write down the message, but it essentially advised that the data was locked and I wasn't allowed access. I wasn't given a chance to enter any kind of system password to bypass the lock.
    Here is my problem: I recently spilled some wine into my keyboard. Since then, the system has slowed to a crawl and occasionally weird things begin to happen, regardless of which software I am using [eg iPhoto, Quickbooks, idvd, Photoshop, email, and even dashboard]. I know I am very lucky to have any access to my files at all. While I do, I need to back everything up so that I can have access to my files later on. I plan to have my Mac serviced this week. I don't know if it needs to be replaced, or whether it can be repaired.
    *+If it can't be repaired, how do I back up my files to ensure future access and use using a different mac?+*

    I'll check the example you linked. I appreciate you responding.
    I was not trying to boot another system at all. Actually, I was working on a newer mac laptop. I attempted to load a dvd I had created in my idvd on the other mac from the LaCie. I was using a mac because I knew it had all the iLife software I needed in order to work with my idvd components. Honestly though, I don't know if the mac I was using is intel based. I hadn't considered it. Does Apple sell macbooks with intel? No matter.
    So, let's see -- I was using the other powerbook to read the LaCie via firewire -- and yes, the LaCie has its own power supply.
    If I remember correctly, the denial I received [when attempting to load the idvd file] knew that I had created it. I got the feeling that it wasn't allowing me into the file for security reasons. I just don't remember setting security. Incidentally, I just checked and I do not have a master password set nor do I have FileVault protection turned on.
    I'll check that link you sent. Thx again, M~

  • 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.

  • Can two user accounts of one computer use two different Mac ID accounts?  I'd like to keep separate accounts for movies, music etc.

    I have a Mac Air running 10.8.5, with two users on it.  I'd like to keep separate Apple store accounts accounts for the two users, as we have separate music, movies, books etc.  To date, we've had separate computers, but now will share the one computer.  But when the second account is signed in and we try to sign in to the I-tunes store, or authorise the computer with the second account, the response is "the I-Tunes store is not available" or "we cannot fulfil your request at this time".  Togetherness is nice, but I'd prefer to have some privacy.

    Hi Harrike2000,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you’re running into an iTunes Store connection issue in one of the user accounts on your MacBook Air, and you want to know if the issue is related to using multiple Apple IDs or user accounts.
    You can use multiple user accounts and Apple IDs with one computer, see this article for more information:
    How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer - Apple Support
    For the issue connecting to the iTunes Store, try the suggestions in the article linked below.
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    Troubleshoot issues on a Mac
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store, a software conflict or your Internet service provider (ISP) may be blocking your access.
    Update iTunes and Safari to the latest version.
    If you have a firewall, your settings may be preventing you from connecting to the iTunes Store. Follow these steps to configure your firewall.
    You may need to reset your keychain. Connection issues are occasionally caused by keychain issues. Learn how to use Keychain First Aid to resolve any issues with your keychain.
    If you're receiving a specific error message, follow these steps.

  • Copy Time machine backup using a different Mac

    A friend has a Time Machine backup from an iMac that he sold some time ago. He's concerned that the drive might fail so wants to make a copy of the backup, but doesn't have a Mac at the moment. So he'd like to use my MacBook to copy his backup drive. The backup is about 400GB, my HD is 256GB and he'd like to copy it to a new 1TB drive.
    All the answers that I can find to similar questions assume that the Time Machine backup belongs to the Mac making the copy, in this case it doesn't. So is there a way to copy a Time Machine backup using a Mac that wasn't used to create the backup?

    Hi ozRob,

  • Using new/different mac to update my site

    I made my web site a couple of years ago using my Mac Book Pro. The Mac Book broke, I have a new Imac.
    On my laptop my site was available as soon as I opened iweb. Using this new machine I can't figure out how
    to get past making a new site. I did not transfer any of my old date from the lap top. So how do I open iweb and
    access my existing webpage ? Thanks Dave

    Were you able to recover any of your files from your old MBP?  If so did you recover a file named Domain.sites2 that was located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder? 
    If not then you'll have to rebuild your site from scratch.  However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site.
    If you do have that domain file somewhere in your backed up files move it to your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on the new iMac and launch iWeb.

  • 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.....

  • Photoshop CS6 crashes constantly on 2 very different macs, but CS5 running very stable!

    hi
    our photoshop cs6 (with latest update to 13.0.4) keeps crashing daily and is not stable at all.
    so we would work with cs 5 again, as this version is very stable and wont crash even once in a year.
    we are daily/"9-5" working at a photographers´ studio and use 2 different macs:
    - brand new mac pro 6-core (2010/Westmere) with 48GB RAM under system 10.8.3
    - old mac pro with Two 2.66 GHz Dual-core Intel Xeon "Woodcrest" from 2006 with 16GB RAM under system 10.7.6
    (both with standard equipped/shipped graphics cards)
    cs6 crashes daily whith following tasks:
    - frequent crashs: using "motion blur"
    - frequent crashs: using "refine edge"
    - sometimes using "transform tool"
    during our tests, we found out, that "disable graphics card" (photoshop>settings>performance) in the mac pro from 2006, would prevent a crash, when using "refine edge". in the latest mac pro from 2010, we did not find any solution to prevent a crash.
    a "crash", we define as follows: during the mentioned tasks, photoshop is gone from the screen in the blink of second, and an osx sign appears "photoshop has crashed"..
    thanks for your time..

    Instructions for submitting crash reports with your email address: http://adobe.ly/gNJWVY
    As Chris states, this will help us track down your issue.
    I agree is Christoph, I would suggest leaving OpenGL/"Use Graphics Processor" enabled and twiddling the Advanced settings for Drawing Mode to "Basic." Then restart Photoshop and see if the problem still persists.
    That setting is the main difference between CS5 (Basic) and CS6 (Advanced).

  • Junked old macbook for a new one. changed apple id password from a different mac. i want to login and it asks for name and password. no matter what i type i cant seem to login. any way help?

    junked old macbook for a new one. changed apple id password from a different mac. i want to login and it asks for name and password. no matter what i type i cant seem to login. why cant i just enter my apple id and password. or is there a way to change whatever name and password are on the new one from another mac so i can login. anything helps...thanks

    Just open System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock the preference pane with your root password.
    Set the New Account to be an Administrator and fill in the rest of the data and then click "Create User".
    I would suggest using this user to be YOU with admin capabilities. I wouldn't use the root user - too much damage could occur if you're not sure what you're doing. If you have files, etc., that you want to move to this account, simply but them in the Shared folder - or if you 'rescued' some old files and the like from your 'trashed' MBP, you can put them in your NEW admin account folders.
    Hope I've explained myself well - call back with any questions!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

  • How to pass database logon info to a Crystal Report in a subreport with different server name using VS C #

    Post Author: fabu1971
    CA Forum: .NET
    I could pass the database logon in Reports with subreports but the reports with subreports with different  server name I can not pass the logon information . Do you have any idea how I can do that to pass the database logon with different database or server name ?

    Post Author: quafto
    CA Forum: .NET
    You can use the Subreports collection of the ReportDocument object to access all the subreports in your main report. These are returned as ReportDocument objects. Once you have your subreport as a ReportDocument you can loop through your Tables collection and set the ConnectionProperties to your appropriate Server/Database. For example here is some pseudo code: ConnectionInfo boConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();boConnectionInfo.ServerName = "serverName";boConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "databaseName";boConnectionInfo.UserID = "username";boConnectionInfo.Password = "yourpassword"; foreach(ReportDocument boSubreport in mainReport.Subreports){    foreach(Table boTable in boSubreport.Database.Tables)    {        TableLogOnInfo boTableLogOnInfo = boTable.LogOnInfo;          boTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = boConnectionInfo;          boTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(boTableLogOnInfo);          boTable.Location = "newtablelocation";     }}

  • 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

  • HT5624 My husband, myself & our 2 daughters all use the same Apple ID but w different user names. Is this a potential problem?

    4 members of my family use the same Apple ID but different user names
    Is this a potential problem w privacy etc?

    Since the Apple ID does not have a username, I suppose you mean different e-mail-adresses?
    In theory, this is not a problem, but of course it can be difficult if you want to keep things separated. For example, logging in with you Apple ID will automatically set up iCloud and sync your calendar, reminder, notes, mails etc. You can disable this syncing on your daughter's devices, but then they won't be able to use functionalities unless they create their own accounts (for example set up another email account). I think (but I am not 100% on this) they will be able to create reminders/notes etc. locally on the iphone.
    If you mean app-wise or legal-wise: No, this is not an issue. You can use your Apple ID and the apps you bought on up to five different devices. Still, for simplicities sake and to give everyone their share of privacy I personally would suggest different IDs for everyone.

    Each user account may have its own Apple ID.
