Using iWeb on two Macs?

Hi,
I just recently ditched Windows for my iPod, iPhones, iMac and a MacBook - so please forgive any obvious things that I am missing...
I have a MacBook and an iMac. During the week, I work on the MacBook but now I'd like to do some work with iWeb on the iMac since I'm home. How can I get the site onto my iMac from the MacBook?
I'm going to do it was I would with Windows: look for the files, copy over to a shared folder... just want to make sure that I'm not missing a better way.
thanks!
Chris

The key file that iWeb works with is its Domain file usually located here:
~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/...
This Apple article explains more: "iWeb: Publish to your .Mac account from more than one computer"...

...and there's an "important" note at the end.

  • Using Aperture with two .Mac accounts

    I am moving all of my photos into Aperture 2, and we have two .Mac accounts for my office, one for business and one personal. My assistant's machine is set to the business .Mac account and my machine to my personal .Mac account.
    I would like to keep all of my photos in Aperture but deploy the photos into web galleries and websites on both .Mac accounts. I can see how to handle the web pages by outputting to disk and then dragging them into the right folder in each iDisk. But I can't see how to do this with web galleries. In the past, I've tried changing the .Mac account in the system preferences and then using iPhoto and iWeb. This doesn't seem like a good solution.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? Right now, I've having to export the photos from Aperture and import them into iPhoto on my assistant's machine and then publishing the web galleries from her machine. There has to be a better way.
    Thanks,
    Alfred

    Multiple User accounts are the answer.
    Each is independent of the other and stores your iWeb files (on the same machine).

  • Sync iWeb Across Two Macs

    I have an iMac and a MacBook Pro. Recently I have had the urge to start a website/blog and would like to do so using iWeb. I plan to do some work from each computer. I have a MobileMe subscription. Is there a way to sync my iWeb site across the two machines using MobileMe?
    I am on iLife '09 and SnowLeopard.

    Scott ~ Rather than trying to use MobileMe's Sync feature, you'll perhaps have better control simply manually copying iWeb's Domain file to your other Mac via your iDisk on MobileMe:

    Problems with iWeb's blog are a recurring theme on these forums: Lost all blog entries or all comments or unable to publish, etc. If you switch to a dedicated blogging platform you're likely to have a better experience. For a success story using a non-iWeb blog hosted on WordPress, see this old thread:

  • Problems using TimeMachine from two Macs to IOMega Home Media Drive

    Hi,
    This has been driving me crazy for a couple of weeks now, so I'm hoping that someone here can point me in the right direction.
    I have a PPC G5 and my wife uses an iMac. I recently bought an IOMega Home Media Drive and wanted to use it with TimeMachine. I set up the G5 and got that working, but when I tried to add my wife's iMac I've had nothing but problems.
    I tried resetting the IOMega back to factory defaults, deleting and then re-creating the backups folder, using usernames and passwords or a guest account, and nothing seems to work. I occasionally do something that breaks it on the G5 (running 10.5.8) but I have been able, for the most part, to get it working again, but it's never worked from my wife's iMac (running 10.6.2).
    I even tried creating the sparsebundles by hand and copying them in which seemed to work on the G5 but not on the iMac. I thought that the problem might be trying to back up two systems to the same share, but I'm not sure how to split them. Is there a way to create separate backup shares on the IOMega (which seems to connect using AFP even though I've seen references to SMB in some of the forums) so that each system would use its own? Is there a general problem when trying to back up two Macs to the same network share?
    The error that I tend to get is that the "backup volume is read only". On the iMac the current error I'm getting, after creating the hostname.sparsebundle image (oddly enough when TimeMachine tried creating it yesterday it dropped the MAC address...not sure why), is: "/Volumes/backups-1/hostname.sparsebundle could not be created (error 45)."
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, this has been very frustrating.
    Thanks,
    Rob

    Hi,
    You don't want to hear this, but Time Machine does not back up to network drives, except Time Capsules or a shared drive on another Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard on the same local network. It will often back-up to a USB drive connected to an Airport Extreme, but even that is, technically, unsupported, and may require running a special Terminal command to make it work.
    Here's the official word: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1733
    You may find some hardware or "hacks" that might make it work, in some cases, to a degree. But use them at your own risk.
    First, since this is *unsupported by Apple,* there's nowhere to go when there's trouble.
    Second, you're risking a future update preventing it from working, and perhaps rendering your backups useless.
    No guarantees, of course, but this might help: https://iomega-na-en.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/iomegana_en.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=22012&p_created=1246919828&p_sid=KBbtj nNj&p_accessibility=&p_redirect=&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PWRmbHQmcF9 ncmlkc29ydD0mcF9yb3dfY250PTEwLDEwJnBfcHJvZHM9MTAzMSwxMDQzJnBfY2F0cz0mcF9wdj0yLjE wNDMmcF9jdj0mcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT1hbnN3ZXJzLnNlYXJjaF9ubCZwX3BhZ2U9MSZwX3NlYXJjaF9 0ZXh0PXRpbWUgbWFjaGluZQ**&p_li=&ptopview=1

  • Using Mail on two Macs

    Hi
    I've had a MacBook Air since July 2008 and have just bought a new iMac. Both are running Snow Leopard 10.6.2. I have used Migration Assistant to transfer everything to the iMac so all the email I've received and sent is now on both computers. I have my mail set to stay on the server for one week so and I received all my mail on both computers.
    My question has to do with my sent mail. My iMac stays in one place and my Air moves around the house with me. Sometimes I answer from the Air and sometimes from the iMac so that now my two "Sent" folders are different. Is there a way to synch this so that both Macs have the same sent emails in the "Sent" folder? With MobileMe I can synch "Mail accounts" and "Mail Rules, Signatures, and Smart Mailboxes." I tried using this but it doesn't synch the actual emails.
    Is there a solution to this in the "Sharing" section of System Preferences?
    Thanks!

    If you are connecting to your e-mail via IMAP, instead of POP, then it should sync everything for you already. However, if you are using IMAP, you may have some settings that need changing. Go to Mail -> Preferences, Accounts pane, select the account in question and click the Mailbox Behaviors tab. Make sure that the "Store sent messages on server" box is checked, along with the similar boxes for any other mailboxes you want to keep synced.
    The one problem with this: if you keep all your mail on the server too long, you'll eventually run out of space on the server. Make sure you know the policies of your mail service provider.

  • Can you use Airdrop between two Macs witch the same Apple ID?

    Hi everyone,
    you can see my question above. I have a MacBook Pro and an iMac but airdrop doesn`t seem two work between those two. They both use Mountain Lion. Its an iMac late 2012 and the MacBook Pro Retina mid 2012. This means that from a technical standpoint this would have to work but it doesn`t, so I figuered that maybe it is because of the fact that I use the same Apple ID with both of them. Can anyone confirm this or am I doing something wrong?
    Thank you in advance!!

    It is not necessary that the computers connect through a Wi-Fi router or access point.
    The following steps are only to exclude a possible third party device interference.
    Turn off Wi-Fi router and or Access Point.
    Check that iMac and MBP have their Wi-Fi turned on.
    Select Finder, Go, AirDrop, wait a few seconds.
    Can you see the other computer inside the AirDrop window?

  • Sharing iWeb on two Macs???

    Howdy all,
    I've just got myself a Macbook pro and lovin every minute of it.
    Is it possible to send my iWeb work from my imac to my MBP, so updates to my pages can be done on either?
    thanks. -JD

    Howdy,
    The site in maintained in a file called "domain" located in your user library/application support/iweb.
    This file can be moved to a location or computer of choice. If it's not in the default location it can be double clicked to access it.
    Iweb looks in the last location used for the domain file. If it does not fine it it ask for the location.
    An easy way to move from computer to computer is to place the file on a usb flash drive and access it from there on whatever computer.
    The domain file should also always be backed up. If it get lost or corrupted you're pretty much starting over.
    good luck

  • IWeb on two macs ?

    Is it possible to sync my iWeb content between my iMac and macbookpro?
    Would I have to put the iWeb content on a separate hard drive and connect by firewire each time I want to do some editing?  Not sure at all about how this can be done. Followed an older community discussion link but it didn't seem to work for me.
    Thanks for your help.
    Douglas.

    Yes, these files are hidden in Lion, so do a search of this forum and search for something like Lion and hidden folders and Old Toad has some code to enter to make these folders permanently visible in Lion.
    Below is a copy of what you need:-
    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

    You can put iWeb sites on just about any server, no need for .Mac necessarily. Here are some tips:

  • Syncing iweb to multiple macs

    I'm using iweb on my mac mini, but also have a mac book that i use when i'm not at home. I was wondering if anyone knew how to be able to work on the same website on both computers. If there is some setting i'm not seeing or some kind of software i can get to do this. Also the same thing with i photo and some of the other ilife programs.

    I had this SAME issue, and after much Googling, this is what I came up with and it works perfect. (and makes it easy to back it up)
    You'll need to have an external drive, or a USB flash drive.. or some kind of portable storage unit to transport a file to the other mac (even a time capsule would work).
    There is a file that is called Domain in your Library Folder (Username > Library > Application Support > iWeb > Domain.site
    If you copy this file onto the external device, and double click the file once on the secondary machine, it will then open up iWeb.
    And Vala! You can edit your iWeb Project on two machines.
    You can copy this file onto the other mac... or you can keep it on the external device to make it eay to transport between the two machines.

  • Two macs running garageband at the same time

    Hi. I am using GarageBand on two Mac's at the same time and would like to know how I can record both parts of the tracks, I guess I'll have to use an external recording device of some sort but I do not know which or how I would set this up. Basically, I am playing a part of the song on one Mac and the other part on the other Mac and would like the two Mac's to be liked up to a seperate recording system so I can record the mix, hopw someone can help, thanks.

    The biggest problem you are going to have is sync. There is no way to keep these two computers in sync unless you hook up some kind of KVM USB splitter for your keyboard. Both machines would need to be identical in setup or this will not work. Playback and record buttons need to be pressed at the exact same time. The mouse can be used to trigger events (such as record enable) to each computer. It is not a very elegant or pragmatic way of gaining more tracks.
    The better way is to use a dual G5 with a big monitor.

  • How can I use the same domain.sites2 on two macs?

    I know iWeb is no longer supported but I still find it ok to manage my web site.
    I would like to work on the site from two macs. I thought I could just use the same Domain.sites2 on both macs but: if I move Domain.sites2 to dropbox folder, when I launch iWeb it does not know about it and creates a new empty Domain.sites2 in the Library/iWeb folder
    I do not want to have to manually make a copy of Domain.sites2 to Dropbox and then to the other mac's Library every time I switch computer.

    You may want to use :
    http://wyodor.byethost8.com/iwebsites/iWebSites.html
    Select "Choose new folder" from the File menu to select the folder on Dropbox where your domain file is.
    If that does not work, use:
    http://wyodor.byethost8.com/iwebsites/iWebDrop.zip
    (Unzip the file and drop the domain file on top of it)
    After that, you can open iWeb with your currently used domain file.

  • I'm using a Mac. After swithcing to ICloud will I be able to use IWeb to upload and publish my sites hosted by other servers like Prohosting ?

    I'm using a Mac. After swithcing to ICloud will I be able to use IWeb to upload and publish my sites hosted by other servers like Prohosting ?

    iWeb has two other ways to publish your site...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
    ... and the second method allows you a choice of how you upload the files...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/URLs-Favicons.html
    Here's a publishing workflow checklist...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Website-Publishing-Wo rkflow.html
    The MobileMe only features can be replaced by alternatives...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Comments-Password-Protect.html
    If you have folders of assets outside of the main website folder on MobileMe, download them from the Apple server. From the Finder Go menu, follow the path iDisk/My iDisk/ to get there. Your website files are in the Web/Sites folder. Drag any files/folders onto the desktop.
    Use an FTP application to upload these assets to the root folder on your new server...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Upload.html
    ...and change the relevant URLs to...
    http://www.domain-name.com/Folder-Name/file-name.file-extension
    There are lots of options for hosting for about half the cost of MobileMe...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Website-Hosting.html
    If you have been using a web.me.com domain name, you need to register a new one. Most hosting services give you at least one free and registering with your hosting company will make forwarding and managing it a lot easier.
    Make sure you add the new name to Google and create, upload and enter a new sitemap.xml...
