Visitors can't subscribe to my iWeb website blog. All ideas are welcome.

Hello, good people. OK. I've figured out the PDF issue. Thanks. Visitors to my iWeb website, nancysolomon.net, cannot subscribe to my blog. It's not that what I have to say is so important, but I would like to offer that option. Because they can't subscribe, I've removed the button for now. I have to get this puppy launched. My target is this Tuesday. I can add the subscribe button later -- if I can ever get it to work. When people try to subscribe, they are sent to my home page. I looked up the issue in Help, but I can't understand the page. I'm going to the Apple store AGAIN tomorrow -- I have one other tweak I need help with. As lovely as they are there, they were unable to help me with the RSS subscription issue last week. I publish to MobileMe, but it's forwarded to or by register.com. One of the Apple guys told me to have register.com remove the URL mask, but that didn't help. In fact, it created a different problem. The mask is back on. It may be that people can't subscribe to my blog. I can live with that. However, your observations and advice are appreciated.

Well, the commas and spaces are not meant to be taken literally, but are meant to represent what you might find on your host's website under the DNS settings (Domain Name System). Every host is different so the way in which you set up the CNAME forwarding will also be different, but it is just meant to be an example.
When you log into MobileMe and enter your domain name under the Personal Domain Name settings, there is an explanation there about how to set up CNAME forwarding.
CNAME simply stands for Canonical Name Records and is an alias. Alias records create an association between another domain or sub domain, so when you set up a CNAME record at your host, then you are creating an association between your domain name and the name of your iWeb site which has been published to MobileMe. Hence, why you need to enter web.me.com to create the association between the two names - your domain name and web.me.com.
Every domain host is different so you need to go to yours and check out the DNS settings to see what you need to do to set it up.
In the long run, this should be better than masked web forwarding.

Can I import a non-iWeb website into iWeb?

How can I import a non-iWeb website into iWeb so that I can use iWeb to edit the site?

You can't: iWeb cannot import html files, and relies entirely on its own 'Domain' file which lives by default in your User Library. You would have to recreate the site from scratch, using the original as a guide and a source for images and text; or use an HTML editor.
Depending on how complicated the site is you may be able to do this in Kompozer, which is free. It is a WYSIWYG web page created which also gives you access to the code, and which can open any HTML page (though if the page is heavily dependent on external CSS you may have difficulties with it).

Regarding iTunes U courses, would I be able to link to books/sites (like say an amazon hardback book or link to a kindle book they can purchase and download). Considering that not all books are available on iBooks I'm hoping this is allowed.   Also the possibility on monetizing since amazon gives commission for linking.
This question is for both the uncredited (private) courses and the bigger accredited accounts.    I am a developer trying to learn how to help my area schools and also have some ideas for my own courses.    Obviously keeping within the iTunes U app would be preferred in most cases (to the learning experience) since they can take notes and see them within the app itself.
If the reply comes from a non-apple employee please let me know (or better yet, link to) where that is clarified.   I would hate to develop something just to later find out it is against the apple iTunes U agreement.

Fair question
And, to be even more fair, I have to tell you that I get that every single day. And it's getting worse (or better, depending on how you look at it).
I always try to let people know it's a long way until you get to a confortable point, a point where you can create something. And that's exactly what I am trying to do, or at least asking how/if I should do it. And then I let them know where to start. That's what I want.
Thanks.

Can you export a published iweb website back into iweb?

I have created my own iweb website which I uploaded to my own domain using transmit. Since creating the page, I had a had drive die on me that I can't access and don't have my site in iweb to edit as I have resorted to a back up made just before I made the site. So I want to know if I can access the site from Transmit and put it back into iweb for editing the site?
This is my first site I have made entirely on my own and have been learning as I go. If I can't access the site as I made it, I may try accessing the files from Transmit one by one to re-make the pages.
Any help on this will me very much appreciated.

Sure, you could syncronize in the opposite direction to get your html files and images, etc back on your Mac. But you will have to drag and drop, copy and paste to get that content back into iWeb.
Your iWeb data is stored, not in your actual html files, but in a file called Domain.sites which is stored in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. If you want to work on your site on another computer, copy this file to a thumb drive to move it around.
You should backup this file whenever you make big changes to your site, because if it gets lost or damaged, you will have to start all over. Sadly, many many people learn this the hard way. Unfortunately, looks like you have too.
I have an Automator app on my site that will help you backup your Domain file(s). Click here to download it or visit http://iweb.varkgirl.com for more info. The app will make a .zip file of your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and save it to a location of your choosing.
Then check out Mozy for an online place to store your backups - I just found this and it seems great. They just recently released a Mac friendly version of their app - it automates the upload and encryption. You select the files you want to backup and it does the rest. You can set it to upload automatically after so many minutes of inactivity or once a day. It does it all in the background so you don't have to worry about it! 2GB of storage are free - plenty of room for most people's iWeb Domain.sites backups!

Can I move a new iweb website into my iweb and still keep my other sites?

My friend has an iweb created website on his computer that he wants me to start managing. I have two websites on my computer that I am already managing. Is there any way to transfer his iweb website into my iweb with out affecting the websites I am already managing?

See this Apple doc:
_iWeb Help — Modifying your site from another computer_
...Once you've transferred the Domain file, double-clicking it will open it in iWeb. Your already existing Domain file containing your sites probably here:
...should be unaffected. Here's an article on how to manage multiple domain files for iWeb:
_How do you manage multiple domain files for iWeb?_
But before doing anything, do this:

HT204146 How can I subscribe to iTunes Match and have all of my 7,000+ songs on my iPhone?

I bought a 128GB iPhone so I would have room for all my music. Now it's not actually there because I subscribe to iTunes Match. I don't want to have to download it over wifi/cell to listen to it. Should I just unsubscribe from iTunes Match? I don't use if very often.

Do you have another device (eg a computer) that also contains your music? If so, yes, you can turn off iTunes match and sync everything with a cable. Do you tend to buy new music from downloads or ripping CDs? If downloads, you can turn on "download purchases automatically" on the phone to make them available to you there, once you've cable-synced your current library. If CDs, you would have to manually sync with cable (or over local wifi) each time you add a new CD.

Can I import a list of websites that pop ups are allowed from?

I work in IT at a small college. Our library has a list of 20+ websites that they want to allow pop ups from. I have the list entered in my sysprep unattend.xml to populate the exceptions list in IE, and was hoping for some similar shortcut for within Firefox that I could add as a batch file. Adding 20+ URLs one at a time in to Fire fox is pretty tedious work.
Any assistance would be most appreciated!
thanks!

Firefox stores the exceptions in the permissions.sqlite file in the profile folder.

You can look at this extension:

Can not view my photos in iPhoto. All photos are black

I have an iPad 3 and I can not view my photos. I can view them through the photo stream on my phone but on my iPad they come up black. I'm not sure what to do.

Anybody have any idea what's going on? Is gif supported? Should I be able to view gif photos? If I can't what might be going wrong, and what can I do to fix it?

How can I sort in Numbers 3.0? All data are getting rolled around!

I wanted to sort column B
And that's the result.

Can't see the what's in the screenshot very well, but here's one way to sort in Numbers 3.0. The menu popped up after I clicked the triangle by D.
If you're sorting cells with formulas in them, here's a heads up that the sorting behavior has been changed from Numbers 2.3. It now closely matches the sorting behavior of Excel and other spreadsheets.
If you're trying to sort by more than one column, say first by Name then by RP then by LP, unfortunately Numbers 3.0 does not have that functionality built-in to the interface the way Numbers 2.3 did. But there's a fairly easy workaround. Set up a new column E and fill it with the formula =A&C&B, and then just sort by column E.
Here you seem to have numbers in B and C, in which case if you need a multicolumn sort your formula gets a little more involved because you have to pad the numbers with leading zeros so they sort correctly. This is easily done with something like this in column E: =A&RIGHT("00000"&C,4)&RIGHT("00000"&B,4) .

I tried all.... even AppleCare tells me i need to write a mail to the itunes match support. i did it. but i won't wait 24h to play a song. i need it to get some nice feelings on this sad monday!

Rebooting a few times
Turn iTunes Match off then back on (Covers, Albums, Interprets all that is perfect)
turn mobile data off and back on
close music app and open again.

Settings- itunes and app stores
Then turn 'Use mobile data' on.

Add flash to my iweb website

i have a few waterfalls on my website at web.mac.com/gary.conrad. i want to make the water appear as if it were moving. i have seen this effect on other websites but dont know how it is done. is this something that can be added to an iweb website and if so how?

Hi Gary,
When photographing it's easier to take a few pictures then photoshop an animated gif.
In Photoshop I isolated the h2o using the magic wand, cut it into a new layer. Duplicated the layer 4 times then applied the ocean ripple filter to the duplicated layers and smudged the top h20 area. This took about 10mins to acheive then animated every 3-4 frames or so to create a 15 frame animated gif loop. Place the gif in iWeb just like any other image. As mentioned you will have a better animation if you take a few pictures with a tripod then animate the gif.
Also a little landscape photography tip if you shoot RAW format and you have Photoshop CS2 or higher I strongly suggest shooting in HDR. Do a search for it your images will really pop afterwards if shot in RAW and edited in HDR.

When Subscribing to my Newsletter through my IWeb website, one is entered in EVERY Category; how can I change that!?

When Subscribing to my Newsletter through my IWeb website, one is entered in EVERY Category; how can I change that!? It's a convenient feature, to just pass out my biz card, and get newsletter subscribers. But they don't seem to be able to choose categories; I always get notifications that they have been subscribed to every category (including ones that don't appear as options when they subscribe through the newsletter server). HELP??

How do they subscribe?
Where is the newsletter?
Where or what is the newsletter server?
Where do they choose a category?
Specify.
Anyway, there is none in iWeb.

Can we have more than one iWeb website per user ?

Hi there,
Sorry I'm, from today, a new iWeb user...
Could anyone tell me if as iWeb user, we can have more than one website on iWeb?
Thank you in advance very much for your help!

Yes. Here's how to have multiple sites in a single MMe account with one or more sites having a domain name.
A. All sites are in the same Domain.sites2 files
1 - only one site can use the CNAME method of domain name forwarding and it must the top site in the left hand pane of iWeb.
Click to view full size
2 - the other sites must use URL domain name forwarding which directs the domain name to the site's full MMe URL, http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/Site_Name, or, if there is no domain name, just MobileMe's full URL.
B. Each site is in its own Domain.sites2 file.
Again, only one site can use CNAME forwarding. This presents a problem since CNAME forwarding directs the domain name to the basic MMe account URL: http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/ which uses an index.html file in the root folder of the account, iDisk/Web/Sites. Each time a new site is published or an existing site uses the File->Publish Entire Site a new index.html file is created in that root directory, iDisk/Web/Sites folder, directing the browser to that particular site. This file is what the CNAME method uses to find the site it represents. Therefore some steps must be taken to assure that the index.html file in the MMe Accounts root directory always points to the correct site. This can be accomplished is three ways.
1 - don't use the CNAME method. Just use URL forwarding . This, IMO, is the simplest method as it doesn't requre any additional effort on the user once the domain name has been set up.
2 - use the following method suggested by Wyodor in this topic: Is it possible to have multiple sites when using ur Domain name?
In iWeb domainfile 1:
Create a dummy site : _dummy
with a blank page.
Create your working site : Whatever
Add pages
Publish both Sites to the same same location on the same server.
Your _dummy site is now the default Site.
Check.
In iWeb domainfile 2:
Create/Use your CurrentSite.
Move a page to the top of the Site and back. Publish the Site.
iWeb will create a new index.html file in the root of the server and from now on CurrentSite is the default site.
Check.
From now on, never move your Whatever Site to the top of the list in the iWeb sidebar and never change the page in the _dummy site.
Simply do not touch your _dummy ever again. And never forget that.
3 - use Ethmoid's suggested method in Using two sites - setting one up with separate domain? or republishing the entire site that uses CNAME forwarding. Just making a minor change and publishing the site changes does not create a new index.html file.
The entire site must be republsihing in order to get that new site.
Or keep a copy of the CNAME site's index.html file on your Mac and replace it manually in the iDisk/Web/Sites fodler when necessary.
NOTE: the CNAME method provides a shorter URL: http://www.Domain_Name.com/Site_Name/Page_Name. CNAME does not have masking.
The URL forwarding displays the full MMe URL:   http://web.me.com/MMe_Username/Domain_Name/Page_Name.   With domain name masking that will be shortened to:   http://www.Domain_Name.com for every page of your site.
However, with masking visitors will only be able to bookmark and enter at the first page of the site. If a page is refreshed the visitor is taken back to the first page. Also search engines will only be able to index the first page of the site.
