Web address question...

I have a friend who uses iWeb. When he told me about his site he told me just to type in his name (i.e. www.[hisname].com) and it would take me to his site, and it did! When I want to visit MY site I have to type in http://web.mac.com/[myname] to get to my site. I can't do it the way he can and I would like to know how he does it!!
PLEASE HELP?
Maris

Maris:
Your friend purchased a domain name that was the same as his name. You can also. Find one of the domain providers and see if your name with the .com or other extension is available. Then you setup domain name forwarding to your iMac web name. There are lots of providers. Also do a search in this forum for "domain forwarding" and you'll get many more posts on the subject.
Do you Twango?

  • Question: create web address

    Hi All:
    When I create a web address
    a.choose system administration >system configuration>KM>Content Management>repository Managers-->Web address
    b.choose new
    c. I key in "test" in  Name field
    d.I key in  a URL site "http://localhost:<port>/test" (this site has been created in localhost ) in Http URL field.
    e.choose OK
    so I should see an entry name  "test" in documents/www (Content administration>KM Content>KM Content>root>documents-->www).
    but I can not see "test" name in /www.
    then I choose system administration>monitoring>KM>Component monitor>repository managers-->www
    I found that the "servers" 's status is "startup failed".
    How Can I slove this issue?

    Hi Bill,
    you will only see the valid entries in the www repository in KM. If the web address you have entered yould not be accessed from the portal server you will not see the entry in the www repository.
    I would suggest the following procedure:
    1) Delete all web addresses that you have created so far
    2) Create a new web address
      - Name: Portal
      - URL: your portal url probably something like http://localhost:50000/irj/portal
    3) Check whether the new web address is displayed in the www repository
    4) Check the status of the www repository in the portal's monitoring section
    Also be aware that a internet UWL might not be accessible from the portal server (Firewalls, missing proxy settings, etc.)
    Best regards,
    Martin

  • Weird Question - Apple tv web address?

    we have a commercial wifi system at work that we generate passwords for people to access the wifi. I want my apple tv connected to that wifi but there is no spot for me to enter the ticket password. I also can't find a way to manually do it in our wifi system so I don't need a password for this object. However, there is a way for me to enter a web address that allows the user to connect ONLY to that site without a password. So, is there a certain web-address that the apple tv is connecting to that I can enter there making it so my apple tv doesn't need a ticket password entered?
    Thanks!

  • Upgraded from iWeb 06 to 08, and now web address and links don't work

    Hi there,
    I recently had the hard drive of my computer replaced and the Mac shop automatically upgraded iWeb 06 to iWeb 08, without asking me (and they also upgraded iPhoto)... I didn't think anything of it and went home. The next time I tried to update my website in iWeb I was asked a question that went something like did I want to upgrade or change or did I want to go ahead or something? I foolishly just said yes, whatever, and did my updates to my website. Then I used Transmit to upload my website files to my web site host. The web pages themselves still all look fine in Firefox, but there is one massive problem: when I type in my web address, which is www.*****.com, in Firefox, I'm told: "404 Not Found - The requested URL /Site/Home.html was not found on this server". When this happens, I've noticed that the www.****.com that I typed into the address bar now has changed to http://www.******.com/Site/Home.html.... If I delete the "/Site" bit from this new "address" my website comes up! If I then click on the link The Albadukes e.g., this page comes up fine. I then click on Links, and this page also opens up fine. However, if I then try to go back to the page called The Albadukes, it doesn't open! Instead, I get the 404 Not Found message again. Here, I've noticed that the writing in the web address box of the browser has changed from "http://www.***.com/The_Albadukes.html" (which works) to http://www.****.com/The Albadukes.html" (i.e. with a space between "The" and "Albadukes" - doesn't work...). If I remove the space and instead add an underscore, then the page opens! This kind of thing happens in different directions between different pages within my website.

    I realise the problems when upgrading to 08 and I wish it had never happened, but it did. So my question is: does anyone know if these link and web address problems can be solved, or should I just accept that the problems are due to the upgrade and instead just recreate my website in 08 (and hope that 08 will work OK on my computer...)? I am very very grateful for any help!!
    Many many thanks,
    Sofie

    Hmm, interestingly enough it works on my MacBook fine...just a lot slower but that's because of ram size. I cannot figure out what's the problem with it on my iMac though.
    I've gone into Quicktime and deleted any divx files associated with that and still nothing.

  • How do I save a a web address in more than one bookmark folder?

    I often want to store the address of a web address in more than one bookmark folder. Sometimes I know this when I first decide to save the address; other times I find I want to 'copy' an already stored bookmark in a second folder. I've struggled through the Firefox Help on bookmarks to uncover how to accomplish this -- but (as with so many online computer Help sections!) have been unable to find an answer to what is, obviously, a basic question!

    You can copy a bookmark from one folder and paste it in another folder to have a copy in more than one folder.

  • Safari, when I hover over a link, doesn't show the web address, +Hotmail qu

    Hi, two questions.
    New to safari, when I hover over a link it doesn't display the web address, is there a way to turn this on or is it not available in Safari.
    In regard to Hotmail, is there a way to synch up Hotmail with Mail in leopard so that when I click an email address it allows me to send via hotmail.
    If not, how do you find out the email address, because when I click it, just takes me to mail and doesn't allow me to at least view what the email address is, so I can manually send it via Hotmail.
    Thanks for your time.

  • How to remove block from trusted web site. I did the obvious by pasting the web address in the allow content area. What are the other ways

    I am a cityville game player on facebook and for some reason today I am unable to send out blasted on the game when if fact this was never a problem. Finally I went to internet explorer and the same problem happen, but internet explorer let me know that the content was blocked. All I had to do was unblock it and that was easy and know I can blast out. However trying to remove the block from fire fox is a issue. I went into to tools and removed every block and it still want work right. Therefore, how to remove block from trusted web site. I did the obvious by pasting the web address in the allow content area under tools options. What are the other ways

    Hello,
    Thank you for your post.
    I am afraid that the issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
    the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System

    Because your issue is about ASP.NET website programming, I suggest that you can consult your issue on ASP.NET forum:

  • Firefox's history only remembers the last time a certain web address is visited.

    For example, I visited www.example.com on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Of all the 3 times, Firefox only remembers the visit on Wednesday. Because when I visited www.example.com on Tuesday, the history is renewed, deleting record of Monday; when I visit www.example.com on Wednesday, record of Tuesday evaporated.
    So, no matter how many times I visit a certain web address, Firefox only remembers the last time. Is there a way to tweak Firefox to make it faithfully record history?
    I'm not a native English speaker. I hope my poor English clearly describe the question.
    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Firefox updates the History, because the website content get updated day to day.
    so Firefox remain the last visit.
    If you don't like the history or cookies.
    make use of "Start Private Browsing "

  • I am using Outlook with Icloud and it is changing the contact email order and in calandar is losing the ability to access a web address by directly clicking on it

    I just intstalled iCloud on my PC which uses Outlook.
    As a result I have to select iCloud everytime I open Outlook to see both my contacts and Calandars
    when i go to send an email, iCloud reverses the order of the email address for a particular contact.  For example, within the contact in outlook the husband address is in the first email and the wife's address in the second spot.  However when I try to send an email in some cases it presents the email address's in the reverse order
    When booking southwest airline flights, i save the flight info to outlook calandar.  this flight info contains active links to Southwest which allow me to check in without having to enter name, etc.  once the calandar event goes to iCloud and comes back to my PC it strips out the ability to have an active link and shows the web address in a text form.
    I hope someone has some ideas about this

    First make sure Settings > Facebook > Contacts is turned off. Tis might be different from what you described in your question.
    Then open your Contacts app and check carefully what is there for your son and grand daughter's contact info. Correct if necessary.

  • Is there a way to copy a web address off a browser on my iMac

    Question- Is there a way to copy a web address off a browser on my iMac?

    If it's in the address bar or in plain text, highlight and copy it.
    If it's an embedded link, control-click it and choose Copy Link; the exact wording of this option depends on the browser.

    Hi Guys, I came accross this service yesterday when trying to navigate to a URL that is no longer valid, after doing this i was redirected to a BT Web page saying the URL is invalid and suggesting some alternative pages for me rather than just getting the usual page not found msg from the web browser, i understand this could be a usefull service but i do not appreciate BT hijacking my search information without my express permission even if it is to help me, anyway a quick google search gave me 1 link with instructions of how to disable this service, I cannot find any official information from BT on any of its own sites with regards to this service, it totally smacks of the secret phorm trial that BT was running some time ago. anyway if this happens to you here is a link to the page that helped me to disable it if you so wish.
