Using existing .Mac pages in iWeb to personal domain

I've tried to find a way to take my existing .Mac pages and move them to my new domain. I made these pages way back when .Mac first started. Does anyone know if it's possible to bring in your existing .Mac pages, then change them to a personal domain?

Can't be done, as iWeb cannot import anything.
If you have a MobileMe account, then it should be possible to move your homepage and place it in the Sites folder on your iDisk.

  • .Mac pages to iWeb

    I came across a description somewhere of converting .Mac pages to iWeb pages. It goes on to say that any photos would benefit from the superior slideshow features of iWeb. However I cannot remember where I have seen it.
    The only reference I can see to .Mac now is that you cannot edit .Mac pages with iWeb.
    Has anybody seen the above reference or got any suggestions on converting .Mac pages to iWeb pages?
    I would appreciate any suggestions.
    Jim

    Well, I don't think there is a way to convert .Mac Homepage pages into iWeb sites. The bad news is that there currently isn't even support in iWeb to import already published iWeb pages back into editable form by iWeb. So the long and short of it all is that you would have to republish your photo galleries using iWeb in order to take advantage of the "fancier" slideshow feature.
    A lot of people who have been using Homepage up till now choose to make links so that visitors can move between the "old" Homepage site and the new iWeb site instead of republishing everything. There's a pretty good tutorial written by our very own willG4pb that walks you through establishing this link between .Mac and iWeb...

    Check it out and see if it might be an option for you.

  • 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.

  • Multiple sites created in iWeb '08 / Personal Domains for Each?

    If I create more than one site in iWeb, can each site have its own Personal Domain?
    So far, I have created 2 sites: When I publish the first one, it shows up on the web as http://web.mac.com/myname/nameofmysite/etc (which is fine). But I would like for the 2nd site to go to my personal url.
    I registered my domain name with GoDaddy, and have gone thru the process of assigning the CNAME at GoDaddy and Personal Domain at mac.com
    The problem is: When I click on Visit Published Site in iWeb, it goes to my domain name (www.mydomainname.com/my2ndsitename), but still showing the standard "placeholder" home page at GoDaddy.
    What do I need to do to make my ONLY my 2nd site show up at my personal url? And do I still need to do something else at GoDaddy to make my actual site appear at my personal domain url?

    The site you want to use CNAME with must be the topmost site in the organizer at the left side inside the iWeb app when you publish (or the last site you publish if you are using separated Domain files).
    It would be good to provide your url(s) if you want further help.
    Only one CNAME type pointing can be used per account, but you can use ordinary forwarding/masking for other sites, where you just type the longer url (http://web.mac.com/username/sitename) into a form at the place which has your name.

  • IWeb 08 Personal Domain Setup - HELP!!!

    I own a domain through Godaddy and host my iWeb site on .Mac. I have always used Godaddy's domain forwarding to redirect www.lucascantor.com to web.mac.com/lucascantor. Now that Apple has included a personal domain feature in iWeb, I followed their instructions to set up my site so that instead of redirecting to web.mac.com/lucascantor, www.lucascantor.com simply is the url. Now www.lucascantor.com just goes to a Godaddy page. I have waited 48 hours and nothing has changed. Even if I re-enable domain forwarding, I still see the godaddy page in place of my site.
    My settings look like this:
    Apple: http://tinyurl.com/34dlp4
    Godaddy: http://tinyurl.com/33k75x
    Somebody please let me know if there is something I need to change,
    Thanks!

    You have two ways to use a personal domain name with .Mac:
    a) The one which has already been available for years, namely using domain forwarding and masking. I guess that is what you are doing now
    b) The new one which has you make a CNAME entry. This has a number of advantages over a), including a url in the browser address bar of the form http://www.mydomain.com/sitename/pagename.html, no forwarding/masking involved.
    If the place you have your domain does not let you do b), then you are stuck with a) or you need to change the place where your name is located.
    If you want something else, best host your site on a different server, as least for the next couple years.

  • IWEB, CNAME, Personal domain name

    If anyone could provide some advice it would be very much appreciated - Tom thanks for you earlier help. I attach the latest email to Apple Support.
    Hi Arthur, (The Apple Support Consultant)
    We still have the same problems, even after entirely deleting all websites, idisks etc and carrying out the steps you asked (even though this is what we had already explained to you that we had done!). To requalify we have:
    a) Ensured that we have a proper domain name (www.mpi.com.au)
    b) Ensured that we have created a CNAME alias (www.mpi.com.au -> web.mac.com)
    c) Associating the name www.mpi.com.au as our personal domain
    d) Allowed more than 48 hrs
    e) no case sensitivities
    f) publish to site WITHOUT registering www.mpi.com.au to dotmac, works perfectly (ie from web with http://web.mac.com/mpimpi/Sites/index.html and when you log into .mac ([email protected]) and check My Pages, any of the pages work properly.
    g) more interesting is when you log into .mac ([email protected]) after registering www.mpi.com.au as our personal domain and republish whole site and check the account settings personal domain you see www.mpi.com.au listed and when you click on it you see a redirection to web.mac.com and then to http://www.apple.com/dotmac.
    h) Further interesting effects occur when you log into .mac ([email protected]) and check My Pages, any of the pages (ie "About Us" redirects to http://www.mpi.com.au/Sites/About_Us.html) and then to http://www.mac.com/account_error.html. (Apples I'm Sorry - Our records show that the account you're attempting to connect to either does not exist or is currently inactive page).
    i) the account is paid for and appears to be active!
    DNS entries:
    Host Record type Value
    64.13.248.146/24 PTR mpi.com.au.
    ftp.mpi.com.au. CNAME mpi.com.au.
    mail.mpi.com.au. A 64.13.248.146
    mpi.com.au. NS ns.mpi.com.au.
    mpi.com.au. A 64.13.248.146
    mpi.com.au. MX(10) mail.mpi.com.au.
    ns.mpi.com.au. A 64.13.248.146
    webmail.mpi.com.au. A 64.13.248.146
    www.mpi.com.au CNAME web.mac.com.
    Arthur, we realy need to get this resolved can we get developer/senior problem solver assistance. I think that the items points g & h are very relevant!

    After great assistance from Apple (thanks Arthur!!) and our new DNS service provider we have our website online and working as required. The resolution required a switch to another DNS service provider.
    We are now using SecuritySpace (www.securityspace.net, www.securityspace.com). They are extremely competent, very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. I've suggest that Apple list a set of known DNS providers that dotmac clients should deal with. I cc'ed SecuritySpace support on this mail.
    Best regards,

  • My Albums pages display incorrectly from personal domain URL

    Pages on my iWeb website, created using the My Albums template, do not consistently display all the individual albums; one or more, or even all may be missing.
    If I use the web.mac.com URL, e.g. http://web.mac.com/wpinnington/Photos/Holidays/Holidays.html the gallery pages always load properly; the problem only occurs when I use my personal domain URL, e.g. http://www.williampinnington.com/Photos/Holidays/Holidays.html.
    I have discovered a work-around, which is to:
    1) Create a new My Album page;
    2) Move individual photo pages into the new My Album page;
    3) Save;
    4) Move the individual photo pages back to the original gallery page;
    5) Save; and
    6) Republish
    I'd like to know what the problem is though, so I can avoid this tedious chore. The problem occurs in both Firefox and Safari, so is not browser related. Firefox Error Console says "Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to call method XMLHttpRequest.open." Safari also reports "Error: Permission denied http://www.williampinnington.com/Photos/Scripts/iWebSite.js (line 504)". Line 504 reads "req.open('GET',url,true);req.setRequestHeader('X-Requested-With','XMLHttpReque st');if(req.overrideMimeType)"
    Can anyone shed any light on the root-cause of the problem? I assume there is a problem with the error handling in the iWeb code which creates the iWebSite.js file.
    Kind regards,
    William
    P.S. I will leave the example URL broken for 48 hours before I fix it, so you can see for yourself.

    Because of security issues, XMLHttpRequest is not allowed cross domain request, this is to avoid cross domain scripting.
    So as long as you mask your domain, XMLHttpRequest will fail.

  • Do you need .Mac accout to set up personal domain name!?

    i've just bought iLife '08 and i thought you could publish your own websites through iWeb. But so far it looks like i have to pay 60 odd quid on a .Mac account!! what a p* take!!

    The "set up personal domain" is for directing a personal domain name at your .Mac account. This is of no use to you if you are hosting with a commercial service.
    When you host your website on the Apple server with a .Mac account your URL is something like this....
    http://web.mac.com/YourName/YourWebsiteName/PageName.html
    You can register a domain name and direct it at your .Mac account so that the URL is more like...
    http://www.yourname.com/pagename.html
    When you are using a commercial hosting service you register your domain name and instruct the registration company to direct it at your servers IP address.

  • IWeb and personal domain

    Is it possible to create a website using iWeb and upload it to personal domain (www.mydomain.com) without Mobile Me?

    Yes, you can.
    Sign up at a webhost, with or without a domainname, and publish.
    Before you do, you can practice on your own computer :
    http://www.wyodor.net/Tutorials/iWebDemo/sFTP.html
    And you don't upload to a personal domain. You upload to a server.
    And browse this forum. It has been discussed several times a day every day since June last year.
    Can any one recommend a web hosting company

  • Can I Transfer Dot Mac Pages to iWeb?

    Do any of you know if it is possible to take web pages I created using the online templates with Dot Mac (http://homepage.mac.com/bingalls) and move them into iWeb for editing?
    My plan will be to move all of my pages to my own domain but people are used to seeing some pages as they are and I would like to maintain the look and also not have to redo the entire pages such as http://homepage.mac.com/bingalls/nasawork/Menu40.html
    I searched discussions and help files and could not find documentation.
    Thank you for your help!

    if it is possible to take web pages I created using the online templates with Dot Mac and move them into iWeb for editing?
    No. iWeb cannot open or edit .html.

  • Bringing already existing html pages into iWeb, possible???

    My sister is a graphic designer who created some html pages for me using Dreamweaver & GoLive. I want to update the text, images, and tables in these pages, and thought I could use iWeb, but it only wants to let me use it's templates.
    Am I doing something wrong? Seems like there should be an easy way to do this. (If this is impossible in iWeb, can anyone recommend another software option?)

    can anyone recommend another software option?
    Here's one list:
