Using iweb, should I change my website name?

I have had a website that is build in iweb that has been live for some time. I've got great placement on google. I own my new domain name, and it's right now pointed at my old site name. I am now changing my site name, but for now I'm changing the header to my new site name, not the title of the site url. So if it comes up in searches, it will still come up listed as the old name, and the pages are all listed under the old name in the url. BUT you read my new site name on the top of the page. If they read and remember that that name, and try to look for it again, they might not find me. Should I change my site name too? Can I just change the name of the site in iweb and that will take care of it?
For clarification, my old site is www.vintagehomelighting.com. My new site is www.vintagehomelighting.com.

Are you asking...
"Should I change the site name to 'filament-vintage-lighting' so that the URL to any page would be http://www.vintagehomelighting/filament-vintage-lighting/page-name.html" ?

Can I use iWeb to make changes to a website created in Dreamweaver?

can I use iWeb to make changes to a website created in Dreamweaver? How would I do this? I didn't create the site and don't know Dreamweaver, but I figure I could learn iWeb quickly.

No, iWeb cannot open or change existing sites no matter what other program created them.

HT204053 I had Snow Leopard and was using iWeb and Filezilla for my website (not MobileMe). Wanting to move to single-click publishing, I now find it is not supported by iCloud and Mountain Lion. I feel cheated, having bought it mainly for this purpose!

The other thing they don't tell you is that Mountain Lion disables OfficeMac, and I am considering uninstalling it for that reason - do I get my money back?!

You stated; "Mountain Lion disables OfficeMac"
That is not true.
Mountain Lion does not have Rosetta so it is not capable of executing PowerPC code. If you have MS Office 2004 that is coded in PowerPC code and will not run in Mountain Lion. What you need to do is upgrade to an Intel version of Office.

A guest at our home used his ipad and changed the network name. How do I change it back to the apple network

A guest at our house was using his ipad and changed the apple netwrok name to another and put a password on it. How do I eliminate this netwrok and get back to the Apple Network?

Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details on resetting the password. Once that is done, you can access the base station to change its Wireless Name (or SSID) back to what you prefer. To discourage other "guests" from changing the AirPort settings, you should also change the default base station Administrator password.

Can I use the Registry to change the Login Name used in Note Tool?

If adding notes in browser-based review, you cannot edit the Author name used in the note tool. Its uses the fixed Windows login name shown in Edit > Preferences > Identity.
If you turn off the "Always use Log-in name for Author name" setting, the Author can be changed when adding notes in Acrobat itself, but the Author is fixed to the Windows login name in browser-based review.
Therefore, I was wondering if anyone knows if this can be changed in the Registry? I've found the login field name here (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\Annots\cAnnots\cAnnot\tauthor) but it unfortunately does not update the Author field.

Good afternoon!
You can replicate this in Acrobat 8 as follows:
- In Acrobat / Edit Preferences / Commenting, turn off "Always use Log-in Name for Author Name"
- Open a PDF in Acrobat > Add a Note > Right-click Properties > General tab > Rename the Author to "TESTING" > Click "Make Properties Default" > Click OK
- Set up a Network Folder Online Comments Repository as follows: In Acrobat / Edit Preferences / Reviewing, set Server Type to "Network Folder" and browse for a folder to save comments to.
- Open Registry and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\8.0\Annots\cAnnots\cAnnot\tauthor
- tauthor should be showing "TESTING" that we entered earlier
- Open a browser window and drag a PDF into it
- Add a Note, the Author name is fixed to be the Windows Login name.

IWeb Help! Changing web page name from Blank + activating Inspector?

I am back once more as I am having difficulties. My first problem is that I am unable to change the name of a blank web page to anything else apart from 'Blank'. I have typed in a new name, it turns red, but as soon as I press enter it returns back to 'Blank'. I am having real difficulties here as I am presenting my site very soon at University. I have not had problems up to now. To repeat, I am unable to change the name of my web page that I recently opened to anything but 'Blank'... any suggestions?
Secondly, to activate Inspector... one does what exactly? I have clicked on inspector but I cannot actually seem to activate it (in terms of been able to do anything once it has opened?) I know these are daft little problems but very annoying. I was looking for the web count in there but had no joy, I just want to be able to activate inspector... any suggestions?
Thanks for your time here.

Most of the Inspector's functions require an element (such as a text box or image) to have been first selected by clicking once upon it. With an element selected in iWeb's main window, the related controls in the Inspector will no longer be grayed out.
Page names can be changed by clicking once on the name in the sidebar (on the left side of the iWeb window) and then in the Inspector, click on the Page tab (the second one). Type in your new page name and hit Return.

Trouble uploading website using iWeb 09 FTP

Hello All,
About 2 years ago I used iWeb to upload my website. At the time I had to use Website Maestro for the FTP. Recently I bought a new iMac and used iWeb 09 to change several things on my website.
I viewed all the videos on how to upload your site using the iWeb FTP and I even used the "test connection" button and it said it was great. So I went ahead and uploaded my site and iWeb 09 confirmed that everything was fine, but it didn't change my website. The old pages were still there.
I phoned my web hosting company (Host Papa) and they said iWeb 09 uploads the new pages to a folder in their cpanel and that I would have to log in to the cpanel and move folders around. I tried this but inside Host Papa's cpanel it was all greek to me. I phoned their help line and the guy switched all the files for me and the new pages published fine.
My question is why can't iWeb publish my site without me having to log into their cpanel to change folders around? I noticed on the iWeb 09 publish site I had filled in one bit of information incorrectly. Where it said "Directory/Path" I typed in www/ Their help desk said I should have typed in /public_html/ If I did this would this make a difference? Would it publish directly without me having to go into their cpanel?
Thanks for your help.
Mike

The old pages were still there.
Did you try clearing your browser's cache (CommandOptionE for Safari) and reloading the page? The site and index.html file probably should be uploaded to the public_html folder in your account.
I use WebSite Maestro and find it to be very good for uploading. You might try going back to that especially since iWeb's ftp client is posing problems. I would either try WSM or the free Cyberduck client.

Changing a website through iweb

i have started using iweb today and published a website. then i made some changes and published those, but the original website keeps coming up and none of the changes I've made appear to be published. i can see all the changes, and the website as I would like it to appear, in iweb, but not ion the web. what am i doing wrong?

If you really what to make sure that it is publishing correctly, then I would suggest that you select the publish to a local folder option from within iWeb and this will publish your site to your desktop - you will get a site folder with a separate index.html file and an assets file.
If you download Cyberduck for free - this is a dedicated ftp programme, you should be able to connect to your server using this and you will then be able to see exactly what is in your public_html folder on your server.
Once you connect to your server using Cyberduck, you will be able to see what is being uploaded and to where. If you use the iWeb built in ftp you are working blind.
Use Cyberduck to see exactly what is on your sever and take it from there.

Changing a member name in Essbase

In my ASO cube - I need to change both a level 0 and parent member name in EAS. Is it as easy as edit member properties and typing in the new name? Does the existing data follow? Also, does going from lower case to upper case create a similar change in the outline?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul
In my ASO cube - I need to change both a level 0 and parent member name in EAS. Is it as easy as edit member properties and typing in the new name? Does the existing data follow? Also, does going from lower case to upper case create a similar change in the outline?you can also use rule file to change the alias name if you are trying to change the alias name in bulk, but if you have to do for few members then goto edit member properties and change the alias it will be an easy process,
change of alias name doesnot harm your datayes going from Lower Case to Upper Case create similar change to outline

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:

Will i no longer be able to use iWeb after June 2012?

i love the ease of using iWeb to design my simple websites, i do not host thru mobile me but another hosting provider. Now iCloud is eliminating iWeb, does this mean i can no longer use this program just to design?

It is now confirmed that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.
This may be of some interest to you: Life After MobileMe.

I LOVE iWeb. Any profissional Graphic Designer that uses iWeb?

Hello to all my fellow iWeb lovers.
I am a professional freelancer graphic designer, and I used Dreamweaver + Flash like since 7 years ago.
I just discovered iWeb and I am AMAZED how the simplicity and intuitiveness of this marvelous humanized Apple software.
If you debate with any Nerd or Geek he will try to convince you that iWeb is for amateurs, not a "real" software and you need always the correct tool, bla bla bla. They are always focused on PURE technology - pure techies.
Being a graphic designer myself, I see CLEARLY I can develop websites to small/medium business owners, faster, easier, and more HAPPY that another pure techies software. At the moment I am developing a Joomla website for a client, of course on those specific situations I can't use iWeb, but for majority of websites situations I see clearly that iWeb does the job wonderfully.
I made this post to share my happiness about the discovery about this brilliant very humanized app, and to ask if there are any fellows here who are graphic designers too using iWeb. I searched a bit, and I don't see any graphic designer assuming their love to this software to conceiving websites.
I am a graphic designer that in this moment is in love with iWeb.
Thanks

Apple re-launching iWeb is very unlikely to happen. They only released iWeb in the first place because of firstly .Mac and then secondly MobileMe. Once they closed down MobileMe, they discontinued iWeb too as there was no need for it.
Apple is primarily a manufacturer of computers and mobile phones etc., and not web design software, which is probably why they ditched iWeb to let other companies who are primarily involved in web design get on with it.
Of course you can create any kind of site with iWeb - you might have to find third party workarounds for a lot of things, but as long as the app still works, then you can use it, but there will probably come a time when you can't.
I don't think that at this late stage, you will find any graphic designers who are using iWeb for the first time - using an unsupported product for the first time to create business sites is not such a good idea and there is other software out there that can be used as an iWeb replacement and is being actively developed, such as EverWeb created by Rage software as a direct replacement for iWeb. It is very similar to iWeb in look and feel and can do everything iWeb can, but from within the app, such as drop down menus, contact forms, PayPal integration etc., all without having to use any third party workarounds.
Take a look at EverWeb here and see what you think before continuing to use iWeb. There will come a time when iWeb will not longer work with future OS updates and some folks who have upgraded to Yosemite are having problems with iWeb currently.
