Using iWeb- Do I need a .Mac acct & Does it Support Sound Clips?

Hi Everyone,
I am new to the Apple forums. I am returning back to the superior product of Apple after dealing with a very annoying HP for way too long! I was wondering if you can create a web page using iWeb without having a .Mac account? If you can, can anyone tell me if you can add sound clips to the web pages you create? I am a musician and I would like to put some of my music on the web page. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me!
Terri
PS My computer came with v 1.1.2 of iWeb. I do not have iLife added to my machine.

Yes, you would sign up with a hosting service such as GoDaddy. Then in iWeb you would do: File > Publish to a Folder...
You would need an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program to upload your folder of HTML to your hosting service. Here are just a couple from the many that are available:

can anyone tell me if you can add sound clips to the web pages you create?
Yes, you can. Here are the instructions from iWeb's Help viewer:
Adding songs or other audio files...
If you want to share your original compositions, you can add audio files to your website. Visitors can listen to the audio while they are visiting the page.
To add audio:
1. In the sidebar (on the left side of the iWeb window), select the page you want to add the audio to.
2. Do one of the following:
◼ To add a single audio file, drag it to the page. If you drag the audio file to the image placeholder on a blog page (the Blog or Podcast template), iWeb creates a podcast.
◼ To add more than one audio file, press Command while you click songs, and then drag the files to the page (not to an image placeholder).
◼ To add links to the songs in the iTunes Store (not the audio files themselves), drag a playlist from the Media Browser or iTunes, or a song from the iTunes Store, to the page.
3. If you added audio files (not links), you can add a graphic or a text box with a solid color fill to the placeholder above each song’s audio controls.
When you select an audio file on a page, its name appears in the Metrics Inspector.
To see a list of supported audio file types, visit the QuickTime website.

For Arabic/Persian on a Mac, the best app is Mellel. But TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or OpenOffice should also work OK.

Hello,I need help.ipad 3 does not support flash media player.which player must I download instead of flash media player?

Hello,I need help.ipad 3 does not support flash media player.which player must I download instead of flash media player?

Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store.

IWeb - do you need a .Mac account?

I have plenty of web space with my ISP - can I use this with iWeb or do I need a .Mac account? Thanks.

Just a guess . . . but the check to see that the startup page is the right name. It may be index.htm or index.html or default.htm. You can ask your ISP tech support.
If this is the case, I'd suggest you create an alias (or link) to the page that your iWeb is generating, so that you won't have to do that everytime -- you'd just have to copy the files.
Hope this helps.

Can I use Iweb for a domain outside MAC?

Just curious of I can use Iweb to publish a site of my own, not for a .mac account that is held through a go daddy or something like that?

The issue is that when you go to the site, the web address shows www.modnostalgia.com/www.modnostalgia.com/default.html.
That is exactly what is supposed to appear in the address bar. The url you give to customers is still
www.modnostalgia.com
I tried copying the files from the www.modnostalgia.com folder directly into my public_html folder, but then I have issues because it wants to overwrite the index.html file. What do I do?
Let it overwrite the index.html file. A different index.html is required if you want that to work. But truncating the structure produced by iWeb that way will make any RSS Subscribe buttons non-functioning, should you choose to have these at some point.

My mac pro does not support boot camp (somehow)?

So for some reason every time I try and open the boot camp assistant I get this message "Boot camp assistant can not be used, This Mac does not support Boot Camp". I find this vary confusing as it should be able to (or so I assume as boot camp came pre installed). I don't Have a RAID set or even a RAID card for that matter. All the HD's are formatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I'm not sure what else Im missing. I would consider using Parallels like on my macbook only that I'm trying to test out some rather graphic intensive games to see wether or not I want to build a gaming rig in the future, and virtual machines have this nasty habit of cutting my power in half.
Boot camp is 5.1.3
computer specs
Mac Pro (Mid 2010)
OSX 10.10.2
Processor: 2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 24 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC

Any help is much appreciated, thank you

I do not know if this will help:
Boot Camp Assistant cannot be use
Also try posting in the BootCamp forum

HT4059 I have IPad Air. I use Drop Box. Downloaded manuscript with Ipad air does not down load completely, no images. I used Ipages, and Files Pro. Mac IOS does it and windows XP.

when I download a manuscript from my DropBox to My Ipad air, it does not open Images and some contents are not aligned, yet if I download from MyMac or XP it works. On Ipad air I have used the Dropbox, Pages and files Pro. What is wrong?

There is an Apple document which specifies that key 1 should be used for WEP configuration and recommends using WPA or WPA2 for wireless security: iPad: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections. It's too bad that you didn't find this when you had problems.
The iPad will work with WPA-TKIP or WPA2-AES. AES provides much stronger security. There is much misinformation on the Internet on this subject.
WEP is insecure, obsolete and has been deprecated by the IEEE since 2004. There is no chance that Apple or anyone else will waste resources on enhancing WEP implementations. For more information on the tattered history and vulnerabilities of WEP read this: WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy
I'm glad to hear that you got your system working. Your post was well-written and might help someone else.

A Website I use requires adobe flash plug in but iPad does not support this, canyou provide a solution?

A website I use requires adobe Flash plug-in. In trying to download this it states It is not supported by the device. Can you please suggest a solution?

Use different hardware that supports Flash instead of the iPad that doesn't.

Why my Mac Computer does not support InDesign CC although it meets all requirements?

HI,
I just tried to download the free 30 days version on my MacBook, black, 13.3", june 2006.
The program is on my computer, but I cannot open it.
Ok, my MacBook is old, but meets all requirements asked for running CS6 as updated to 2GB RAM, 160 GB Harddisc (128 GB free).
OSX 10.6.8. Any ideas what could be the reason for it?
Thanks for your advice! wuao.ch

but meets all requirements asked for running CS6 as updated to 2GB RAM, 160 GB Harddisc (128 GB free).
Are you trying to run CS6 or CC (in your post title)? I've run CS6 on a 10.6.8 machine but with more than 2 GB RAM.
I doubt you'll be able to upgrade to Mavericks:

I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro. Is there a way?

I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro. Is there a way?

Firstly iWeb CAN'T IMPORT any kind of published html code as it has no import facility. You can however add html code, javascript and css by selecting the html snippet and placing it on your page the entering the code in here and clicking on Apply. You DO NOT create a shape as you say - you use the html snippet and place your code in there.
There are not really a lot of ways in which you can write code - if you want to enter small amounts of code, then you would use an ordinary text editor to do this such as Text Edit on a Mac or Text Wrangler. If you want to add code to iWeb like this, then you would either use the html snippet method in iWeb itself or you would have to publish the site to a local folder from iWeb and open the relevant html page with a text editor and add the additional code in this way and then publish. However, if he decided to add the code with a text editor, then you would have to upload the pages directly to the server using an ftp client - if you try to upload the site directly from iWeb, all the extra code will be overwritten.
As for checking whether the site was created using iWeb, all you need do is view the site in Safari and then click on View and then select View Source Code and it will tell you.
Even thoough extra code was added to the site and he might well have done this by publishing to a local folder and adding the code with a text editor, he should still have the domain file for the site too.
Ask again. I'm sure that for adding quick code, most would not want to use programmes such as Dreamweaver, but a simple text editor will suffice. As OT already said, if he claims that he does not have the domain.sites file, then try Flux 4 which is a web design programme and has full import facilities. At least this way, if he just gives you the published version of the site, you have some way of opening it.
You can download a free trial of Flux 4 and you can also purchase the full version from the Mac App Store if you decide you like it.

Help! iWeb can't publish to .Mac & folder, keeps hanging.

Hi guys, would appreciate your help here. I'm new to to using iWeb. Just purchased and installed iWeb a couple of days ago. I've designed my webpages using iWeb and uploaded into www.mac.com, just the basic Welcome, About Me and Blog pages.
But after that 1st successful attempt, my iWeb can't synchronise with iDisk & .Mac properly and it froze in the middle of the publishing process. I was forced to force quit iWeb. Subsequent attempts to publish using the Publish button and Publishing to Folders alternatives yielded the same results - connection error, hanging of iWeb and fruitless synching of webpages to iDisk & .Mac. So ended up can't proceed or update my already published webpages.
After that I registered another .Mac account and tried publishing directly, publishing to folder, synchronising etc... but still no luck as iWeb either hanged, gave error box stating "check internet connection or totally didn't synch the files at all to Homepage though the process went thru.
I also discovered that after restarting my powerbook, there are folders in the trash with names such as com.apple.iWeb584_1862039531. Does that render iWeb unfunctionable.
Any help is much appreciated.
Powerbook PPC G4 1.33Ghz 15" Mac OS X (10.4.8) 768MB DDR SDRAM, 80GB HDD

My site is very small. The capacity taken up indicated by iDisk after synching is only 1MB. Bandwidth tests indicated an estimated 4700kbps download speed and 300kbps upload speed. Currently, I'm subscribed to a 10Mbps ADSL broadband plan and connected wireless to the router *** modem.
The present configuration for the internet settings include a web proxy (HTTP) as given by my ISP. I've read somewhere in this forum that proxies may filter or block non-standard html codes generated from/by iWeb.
I've tried to bypass that proxy by connecting via ethernet cable to the router and unchecking the proxy setting. But another error occurred stating 'configuration error' by iWeb.
So does the problem lie with the proxy settings or with iWeb itself?
PS: I can't get my ISP to turn off the proxy, and the only way to take away that proxy is to terminate the internet subscription.

Need help: Belkin Flip for Mac mini doesn't support the new Intel chip?!

Hi folks,
I recently purchased a Mac mini Intel Core Duo and planned to use a Belkin KVM Flip switch for it and my Sony VAIO.
However, the current Belkin KVM Flip switch for the Mac Mini does NOT support the Intel Core Duo. Until Belkin comes up with a switch that does, I have to unplug and replug my monitor, keyboard and mouse into the appropriate computer to use either one. Obviously, that isn't very convenient. Has anyone else encountered this problem and come up with a better solution?
Thanks.
Mac mini Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4) KVM switch for a Sony VAIO

I think what you're saying is that I should just swap out the monitor cable from one computer to the other when I want to use that computer. Not elegant, as you say, but workable.
Given you want to use a Flip I gather you're wanting both of your computers permanently connected to your TV/display at the same time. To do that without a KVM you will need to, for instance, connect your Mac mini to the RGB input and then your Vaio to HDMI. So, to select which computer you want you actually want to view you use the display remote just like you would if you were swapping from your cable box to your DVD player. I would suggest you play around with whatever combination gives you the best quality for both computers as not all inputs to your TV have the same quality.
That takes care of video. Now, for USB, yes you will have to physically swap a cable although there are many ways you can do this which does in some way depend on how you place your computer and the peripherals you want connect to one or both computers. What you do is use a USB hub with everything connected (keyboard, mouse scanner etc) to it and which ever computer you want to use you connect it to the hub.
It's all about finding a solution that suits you the best.
PS As for the Flip, you might want to note that the Flip does NOT have digital DVI connectors. It has two analog VGA connectors which at high resolution does not perform at all well. I would suggest you ensure that the VGA performance to your 1080i TV is acceptable before buying this product.

I created a website using iWeb, then published to MobileMe, how can i publish to iCloud?

I created a website using iWeb, then published to MobileMe, Mobile Me is now closed, how can i publish to iCloud?

iCloud does NOT allow you to host your web sites. You can continue to use iWeb but, will need a 3rd party web host to upload your websites to. Depending on the version of iWeb you are using you have a couple of publishing options:
iWeb '09 (3.0.4) you can publish to an FTP Server or a local folder. ( With the built in FTP in iWeb you will end up with an address like "www.YourDomain.com/sitename/Home.html )
iWeb '08 you can publish your website to a local folder
I have been using IX Webhosting for several years with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across. The have plans that start at $3.95 a mo (USD) and their customer service is top notch.

Mac mini doesn't send sound to HP LA2206xc Monitor

I have attached my Mac Mini (late 2009) with a DVI - Mini DVI connector on a the HP LA2206xc Monitor, but I don't have any sound through the speakers of the monitor. Also the webcam doen't work with facetime.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I have attached the monitor with a displayport cable to the mini display port but no sound or video. Does the my Mac Mini (late 2009) support sound and video through the Mini DisplayPort or do I need to change something in my settings. I read somewhere that you could reset your pram?
