Using iWeb on other servers than dot MAC?

Can people confirm that one can use iWeb with other servers than Apple's dot Mac site? The fine print says: *iWeb publishing requires Internet and webserver access (.Mac recommended). So from that I guess it is feasible but is it easy to set up?
Thanks
Rudy

After the sales rep at the Apple store confirmed vehemently that I would lose no functionality publishing to my own server, I was disappointed to discover this was not the case.
I wanted to use my own webserver, since there is a perfectly capable apache server already running on my iMac. I do understand that Apple wants to sell their dotmac product, but they have stranded too many users with their approach on iWeb.
I upgraded to iLife 06 specifically for iWeb, and I feel cheated by the withdrawal of functionality unless I buy their dotmac product.

I have 1Mac computer running Lion. Can I set up 'find my iPhone' and 'find my iPad' if both those devices use different Apple ID's than the Mac does? As in can I set up 'find device' for my husband's iPhone and my daughters iPad?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, but you can log into any of their accounts on your computer at iCloud.com and see their devices.

Using iWeb with a hosting service besides .mac?

Hello, I have not yet upgraded to iLife 08, but am deciding whether it is worth it. My question is, is it possible to host your iWeb website on something besides a .mac account (I do not have one). Or is it necessary that you pay the $99 a year to publish your websites? Any suggestions for other sites besides .mac if it is possible? Thanks!

Just registered with a domain and hosting with hostmonster.com, a bit easier to use than Godaddy.com, great customer support, 24/7 friendly voices in Utah, haha. Ridiculous amount of bandwidth and storage space, plus features. You have to switch the CNAME prefs over the phone or submit a support ticket from your control panel (webpage where you control your account), done real quick.
Don't forget that there is also CyberDuck, which is a really good FREE FTP app. I use this more than Transmit or Fetch, although I also like Transmit a lot.

Other servers vs. .Mac

Like so many so many others in here I'm in the throes of slow page loading by my friends using PC's (and customers). I'm curious if those of you who have mastered uploading your sites to other servers have faster-loading pages...and is that, perhaps, the reason you insist on using different servers? (URL issues aside)

hey....
nice site. I'm such a palm tree lover anyway being from California... I love the slideshow in black with reflections turned on... works great. I just wish that apple had a cross dissolve for the slideshow instead of a straight change. Maybe in the next release.
Maybe one suggestion... my site also had the white blocks down the left and right. If you like that great, but if you want it to be uniform regardless of how wide they open the page do this.
Open your site in iWeb, and select the page you want to work on by clicking on it once. Then, go to the view menu and select the inspector. Like Will says... the inspector is your friend! lol.
In the inspector, select the page menu, then choose a color that closely matches the background of your page. Then, regardless of who opens your site or how wide they open the browser window... all they see is color.

Using iWeb to publish to a non.mac domain

Can I use iweb to develop a web site and publish to a domain that is not .mac?
Or can I host a non.mac domain on .mac?

Can I use iweb to develop a web site and publish to a
domain that is not .mac?
Yes, you can. But not directly from iWeb. You will develop your pages in iWeb but the choose the "Publish to Folder" option. This will put all the files necessary for your website in a folder on your hard drive. You will then need to use an FTP program to upload the site files to your 3rd party web host.
Or can I host a non.mac domain on .mac?
Yes, you can also do this. You can do your pages in iWeb and then "Publish to .Mac". Then you can use "Domain Forwarding" available from your registrar or some other redirecting html to forward people who type in your domain name to you .Mac iWeb URL.
Either method will work fine. You will lose out on .Mac specific features (like slideshows, counters, passwords, comments, search) if you host your pages on a 3rd party web host. Also you lose the ability to do incremental uploads (uploading only changed pages) directly from iWeb if you're not using .Mac.
Good luck to you. If this has been useful information to you, please do me a favor and click the "solved" or "helpful" buttons in the title bar of this reply. Thanks.

Using Airtunes for other things than iTunes?

Hi,
Is it possible to use my Airport Express, which is connected to speakers around the house, for other sounds than just from iTunes? So I can hear different sounds from all applications as though it were my built in speakers I was using?
Thanks.
Mc

Have a look at Rogue Amoebe's Airfoil:
"With Airfoil, you can now send any audio right through your AirPort Express. Use RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, Safari, and almost any other application with your AirPort Express. Using Airfoil you can also send audio from widgets and radios like the RadioSHARK, and tweak the audio with Airfoil's built-in effects.
Airfoil also adds the fantastic ability to send audio to multiple AirPort Express units at once. It's now possible to send audio all around your house right from your computer. Don't spend thousands of dollars on expensive solutions to get your audio throughout your home. "Wire" your whole house wirelessly, using AirPort Express units, and give your audio wings with Airfoil."

Can I use iWeb for my own domain without .mac

I want to use iWeb for creating a simple website. But how can I upload this website to my own domain? Do I need another program. I myself use Dreamweaver. Can I copy the website made in iWeb to dreamweaver? Or... Who can help me out!!!!
margriet

You publish to a folder and use an ftp program like Cyberduck, Fetch, or Transmit to upload. I recommend you not use Dreamweaver. Some tips:

Using iWeb to publish to a non mac account

I guess the question is in the subject.
I'm just wondering if it is possible to use iWeb to create your website, but then send it to a different domain/server?

nuorder72,
Welcome to the discussions.
Easily done. Create a new folder on your desktop, and name it for your site. From the file menu in iWeb, choose File/Publish to a folder..., and select this new folder. iWeb will deliever your site, in it's own folder, and the index.html file needed for the site. You will upload both of these as they are to your server, using an ftp client.
Some good tips and more details on this can be found in these notes by Tom Gewecke.

Can i use iWork's on more than 1 mac

I plan on Buying another mac computer can i use my already loaded i-work software on the second mac?

It depends on where it was purchased. If purchased on a DVD I believe that the license states that it can only be used on 1 computer (unless it was purchased as a family kit), if purchased on the App Store, it can be used on all your computers that are attached to your Apple ID.

Why can I not open photos loaded on USB stick from iPhoto on any other computer than a Mac?

I recently loaded a USB stick with various photos from iPhoto & these do not appear when attempted to be opened in My Documents on a Windows computer. Is there any way of fixing this issue?

Check the formatting of the USB stick. You have probably formatted the stick for Mac with a file system MacOS Extended (Journaled). This file system cannot be read by a Windows computer. Save the photos to different drive and format the USB stick using Disk Utility to a file system both computers can read, MS-DOS should work.
Disk Utility is located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.

How to install and use Iweb 2.0.4 on a Mac running 10.9.1?

Hey All-
Okay - just bought a Used Macbook Pro Laptop runnning 10.9.1 - and it came with iweb 3.0.4 -
Tried to open our website which was built in iWeb 2.0.4 and it doesn't open it- it performs the operation but does not launch the site - it creats a new blank page - I have tried this many ways - no luck and iweb doesn't allow you to open a site from within the program
So - I went to my old laptop and copied the iweb 2.0.4 version over to the new laptop - it will not launch the site either - I get an error message
I tried downloading 2.0.4 and re-installed over the old version and still get the same error message -
ERROR MESSAGE:
Can’t open file “~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2.”
Can anyone help me get my site open in iweb for updates - either the old 2.0.4 or the new 3.0.4 that came with this laptop?
Thanks for the help -
Zander

You don't actually need to install iWeb 08 or version 2 and there is no point, because this does not work properly with Mavericks which you are running on the Laptop - Mavericks will only work with iWeb 09.
The reason that iWeb will not open your domain.sites file is that from Lion, Mountain Lion to Mavericks, iWeb lost the ability to be able to open individual domain.sites files, so this is what will happen.
To be able to open individual domain files you need to download something called 'domain cracker' or 'iWeb Switch Domain' and these will allow you to open individual domain.sites files under Mavericks.
This is all you need to do - download the iWeb Switch and you'll be able to open it, but don't install iWeb 08, because it won't work with Mavericks.
Also remember that iWeb has not been sold or supported by Apple for the past 2 years, so think about using another programme instead - there are lots with the most like iWeb being EverWeb at http://www.everwebapp.com.

ACE 4710 Probes on other servers than the real server

Hi,
I wanted to know if there is a means to configure a probe that is independent of the real servers.
The aim is to configure a probe a real server but also probe another intermediate server which is not in the server farm.
The objective is to declare the real server down if its probe fails but also the probe to an intermediate server fails as well as a or condition.
From the document, there is no mention of it.
But is there a means to do it.
Thanks.

Hi Ashley,
i see it is not mentioned anywhere in document but i think ou should be able to bind two probes with real server of which one probe is actually probing another server.
I would configure one probe let's say TCP based and bind it with serverfarm. Then i would configure another probe TCP based and define IP address in that probe (the other server IP which we need to probe) and bind this probe with same serverfarm. Serverfarm will not have this rserver added. And then i would configure "fail-on-all" and test if that works for you.
i know you can set probe on redirect server/serverfarm which actually probes another real server so logically should work for normal host rserver as well. But i have never tested it myself.

Can i use airport with other software than itunes?

I have my living room speakers connected to my Airport Express.
I can listen to my iTunes music playing it on my MacBook Air and I can use my iPhone to control it with Remote App.
But I can't use any other software to send sound to my speakers through Airport Express.
Is there a way to tell my computer to send all sound to Airport Express, e.g. listen to music from Youtube in my livingroom speakers?
Thanks!

I believe Airfoil can do that...
