Actually, all you should need is
http://web.mac.com/blueeyedphotographer/iWeb
Also, you'd be better off using shorter names for your pages. 'The Photography of Gary Conrad' is much better used within the page than as the actual page name.

Hi - my mobileme address is really long -
http://web.me.com/robandchionejenkins/RobJenkinsPhotography/Welcome.html
when I published with iWeb I thought it would be www.me.com/robandchionejenkins
or similar - anyway to shorten it ?
thanks all
Rob

I thought it would be www.me.com/robandchionejenkins
It is.
http://web.me.com is the domainname of me.com
robandchionejenkins is your username.
RobJenkinsPhotography is your Sitename. You can use other or fewer characters if you want.
Welcome.html is your pagename. It's common on most websites to have pagenames.
To learn about the concept of Sites in iWeb and how to avoid the iWeb Sitename in the URL, read my blogs :

Hi there!

i suggest to make a clean install of newer version of Firefox like v8.0.

Installing OS X on a new hard drive taking way too long?

I switched out my old 250 GB hard drive that shipped with my MacBook Pro for a new 640 GB WesternDigit drive. I'm trying to use a Mavericks installer USB to install on my newly formatted hard drive, but it's taking way too long - I mean, I left it going overnight (about 7.5 hours), and when I came down, it wasn't even half done. Is there anything I can do here? I'd like to use my laptop. Thank you very much for any suggestions.

Do you have a internet connection? Even with a USB installer that if good and functioning properly you need an internet connection to Authenticate the install with your Apple ID.
If your old drive is still functioning you can connect it to your Mac with a SATA to USB adapter and use the Recovery HD on that original drive to reinstall Mavericks on the new drive.
If the drive is no longer functioning and you have no way of getting to the Apple internet download for Mavericks then you will need to start with an install of the original version of OS X that came on your Mac when new then update and or upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then use the Mac App Store to reinstall Mavericks. There is not other way to do this. So save yourself some time and trouble and start fresh.
If your original drive is still functioning and it had Mavericks installed on it you can also CLONE that drive to the new one once you connect it to your mac with some type of SATA to USB adapter or enclosure.
If the Mavericks USB installer you have was made from a Mac that came with Mavericks pre-installed on it that will not work on your Mac.

I've stuck with Entourage way too long. Now I don't dare install the Mavericks OS because all my Entourage files will go away. And my iMac won't open Mac Mail (probably because I've never opened it in the 5 - 6 years I've owned the Mac.) Any suggestions?

If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
If there are specific tasks you need help with:

Entering Mail on TM Takes WAY TOO LONG! How can I fix this?

When I enter TM, to rebuild a mail box for a specific day, it takes WAY TOO LONG! My mistake was keeping over 16000 emails from the years I have been using TM. Is there a solution to help solve this? I cleaned out my existing mailbox but its too late.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciate.
Skip

Such an error is usually a problem with a cookie that is too large and not the URL, unless there is really a lot of GET data appended. Cookies are send as part to the HTTP response headers.
If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlitecookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Time machine backups take way too long

Greetings,
Having trouble with Time Machine backups taking way too long. (No, it's not the first backup after some momentous event, as 90% of what I read about slow backups mentions; it's _every_ backup.)
20" iMac purchased Oct 2008. OS 10.6.8. 500 GB internal hard drive. 3 TB external backup drive. Was tested at the local "Genius" Bar, but they found nothing wrong with it. The best they could do is to recommend a restore from Time Machine, and if that didn't work, start clean and reload the OS and then copy my stuff back. I don't think so. I actually did a full Time Machine restore for a different reason, and it didn't help (except that I gained a few GB of disk space!).
My Time Machine backups now take about 39 minutes to complete. I have a 500 GB internal drive and this problem happens regardless of which external drive I use. (I have 3: 2 WD hard drives and one [noisy!] G-drive.) My current backup drive is a 3 TB WD drive with 2 TB of free space.
These are small incremental backups, typically about 35 MB. It doesn't take half an hour to copy 35 MB!
All phases take a long time, but the most irritating one is where TM appears to get stuck for a long time at the beginning and end of the copying phase. For example, at one point it will say something along the lines of Backing Up 7 KB of 34.4 MB. And it'll be like that for minutes on end. Later it will say something like 35 MB of 35 MB and hang there for minutes on end. During these periods the write I/O rate will go up and down, and CPU usage will often be very high (with backupd using 90 - 100%, in addition to highly elevated System CPU usage). In one particular backup the I/O write rate for one part of it looked like a heartbeat on an EKG! I should have taken a screenshot.
At the beginning during the Calculating Changes phase, backupd is using between 90 and 100% CPU.
There is also high CPU usage during the next phase, Preparing. And the number of items being prepared is in the thousands.
It always goes in two rounds because it finds that the root directory (/) has been modified.
I've Googled and searched Mac forums and found nothing useful. I started with a new .plist file and nothing's changed.
Can anyone help? Thanks!
I wrote the above Jun 28. Yeah, finally getting around to posting it. Since then it's gotten worse. I now do a manual backup once a day and it takes almost an hour. I tried re-indexing Spotlight. No good.
Can anyone help? Again, this is not a "first backup." It is _every_ backup.
Thanks!

Thanks for your efforts. Here are my answers, comments, and further info:
I believe I have repaired permissions on my drive as part of my troubleshooting. And I'm sure I checked SMART status, which came up with a thumbs up, so to speak. I'm trying again. I don't see any useful messages in any logs on the console. I'm looking at "All Messages" and there is so far nothing useful. Oh, I think you must mean repair as in "Repair Disk," not "Repair Disk Permissions." I believe the "genius" at the Apple store did that or something just as good. The machine checked out fine according to them.
Checked SMART status just now: passed. Ran Quick Drive Test: also passed.
Oh, I installed "Time Machine Buddy". Occasionally, and only occasionally, I get a "deep traversal needed message" like this (I copied this from .Backup.log):
Running preflight for "Macintosh HD" (mount: '/' fsUUID: BF606E9A-5FD0-3B92-8D76-33DC63E7B2B1 eventDBUUID: 30DD929D-8982-46C2-BAE6-F0BD1E73916A)

Time elapsed: 1 minute, 39.000 seconds
But the vast majority of the time I do NOT get this message. But if there's something wrong with this apdb file, what can I do to fix it?
Note that there is usually, if not always, a lot of CPU activity or I/O (disk) activity, but not a lot getting done.

Quicktime Conversion Export Takes Way Too Long

I am using FCE2.
I have a 28-minute project that I am trying to export to a quicktime movie. (h.264 640x480 29.97FPS)
Every time I export, it takes 6 hours to complete! When I play it back, the quality is bad. It skips like there are not enough FPS.
I have tried adjusting the compression, size, FPS everything...but it just doesn't come out right. I have the latest versions of quicktime pro, and FCE2.
Something is wrong. Isn't 6 hours way too long? My computer gets real hot and the fan is constantly on while it's crunching.
What do I need to change? Any suggestions?
Thanks

Ah I think I figured it out.
I did another test project with the same source DV file, but didn't do ANY editing to it.
It took 2 minutes to export a 70mb reference mov file from a 7 minute DV sequence.
Then I cropped & resized the sequence by changing parameters in the "motion" tab.
Then it took 20 minutes to export a much larger reference mov file from the same 7 minute DV sequence.
Then I clicked "render all" after selecting every render option in the drop-down menu.
Then it took less than 1 minute to export a 70mb reference mov file from the same 7 minute DV sequence.
So I guess I was having problems because I didn't render "everything", because I didn't select "FULL" on the drop-down menu for rendering. I thought only RED segments in the timeline needs to be rendered prior to export, but apparently the "FULL" render must be selected as well so that the entire timeline is nice and purple. (or some shade of blue)
Also, a cropped and resized video is very large in size (GB) if it is exported as a reference file only without prior rendering. * Can someone else confirm that this is the normal behavior in FCE? *
Oh well, lesson learned.. This movie is going to take a very long time to export, and result in a very large file. But I can't use it without cropping & resizing it!

2LIS_03_UM Running way too long in BWQ Quality environment- ideas

Hi, I am initializing my Materials and everything has gone fine except that I have some UM Valuations taking way too long.
1. 2LIS_03_BX - 15 Minutes
2. 2LIS_03_BF - 45 Minutes for 1 Year of transactions took
3. 2LIS_03_UM - 7 Parallel Jobs 1 for each plant
All UM's were under 45 min except for 2 plants. Plant 2000 just finished in 8.5 hours and Plant 1000 is still running for over 10 hours. I verified the background parameters and the variant for plant 1000 is for 03/31/2011 - 12/31/999 and for plant 1000.
any ideas why these two last UM setups would be taking sooooo long?
What will I do if my setup in Production takes this long?

Hi,
Typically UM will have less number of postings. Please try to run this with only posting date selection ( without plant ).
The job might get completed faster.
Thanks,
Krishnan.

It's taking way too long for my messages to load.

Starting on Tuesday this week (10/14) it is taking way too long for my messages to load from my Gmail account. Once the message finally shows up in the Inbox, it's taking up to 10-15 min for the message to load where I can actually view the message. I'm going to have to move to another email application if this can't be resolved which is very unfortunate as I've enjoyed using Thunderbird up until now.

I guess I'm at least happy to know it's not just me. I've had to abandon Thunderbird for now. I guess I'll keep an eye out for future updates.

IMac takes way too long to initialize

Hi all,
when I start my 17" iMac intel duo core it takes way too long to start-up. This is a recent phenomena. Before (presumably before I did something to the computer to cause this) the start-up time was very quick as it should be. I've 2 GB of RAM - so I know it's not a RAM issue. I've lots of hard disk storage left too. I just can't figure out what's taking it so long, nor do I know how to remedy the cause.
Also, I have Windows XP installed as a partition, and when I restart going to windows, or coming back to OSX 10.4.11 the initialize time is too long.
Note that i've tried all steps listed in troubleshooting in the iMac User's Guide, and they don't work.
1. Has anyone any thoughts about how to revert to the quick start-up times?
2. Does anybody know what keys to hold so that when you power on the iMac you can choose which operating system to start in?
Any help is appreciated,
Vincenso

Auto login meaning that you do not type in your name and password when you first boot up. Do you have a lot of fonts installed on this machine? There may be something or many things set to auto launch when you sign in and depending on what it is may take a while to load up. Anit-virus software? Go to your Apple menu in the top left corner of the Finder and go to your System Preferences. Click on Accounts, your user, then Login Items. There it will show you a list of all the applications that launch when you sign in.

Trying to download Mountain Lion on Mac Mini currently running Lion 10.7.4. Computer is set to never sleep. When I check progress it says "waiting" under purchases on App store. What does this mean? Way too long to still be waiting. HELP

In the app store where it says waiting, do you get the option to "resume"?

Query taking way too long

Hello,
Can somebody please help.
I am wanting to change this query so that it does not take too long. How can I do it please?
select count(*), t.tel_no, t.prospect_id, a.ACCOUNT_NO, a.account_title
from tel_nos t, account a
where t.tel_type = 'S'
AND t.prospect_id = a.prospect_id
AND SYSDATE BETWEEN t.start_date AND NVL(t.end_date, SYSDATE)
group by t.tel_no, t.prospect_id, a.ACCOUNT_NO, a.account_title
having count(*) > 1
Thanks in advance.

Tuning is a science not a parlour guessing game. It's hard for us to diagnose the problem you have here as you have given us almost no information. For instance, are you using rule based or cost based optimizer? How big are these two tables? What indexes do they have? What percentage of rows are you expecting the query to return?
Tuning is such a big area that it's hard to know where to begin. I suggest you start at the Oracle docs. Chapters 1, 4 and 5 will set you going.
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/A87860_01/doc/server.817/a76992/toc.htm
Having said all that you may well find this runs faster:
SELECT count(*), t.tel_no, t.prospect_id, a.account_no, a.account_title
FROM   account a, tel_nos t
WHERE t.tel_type = 'S'
AND    sysdate BETWEEN t.start_date AND nvl(t.end_date, sysdate)
AND    t.prospect_id = a.prospect_id
GROUP BY t.tel_no, t.prospect_id, a.account_no, a.account_title
HAVING count(*) > 1
/I leave it to you to work out why (it's nothing to do with clearer layout).
Cheers, APC

Slideshow Taking WAY too long to load

I have a slideshow posted at
http://olyrents.com/slideshow.htm
My client is saying it takes too long to load, and I am
finding that it is loading all of the photos first before you can
scroll through and view them. It's just not functioning properly.
I wonder if someone could look at the actionscript and give
me any suggestions? Maybe there's something else going on?
I have attached the script from the original fla file.
Thanks!

That adds up to somewhere in the realm of 5MB, which isn't
going to be a quick load time, though it might be visually workable
if you separate the loading from the viewing.
One thing you might consider is doing away with the preloader
visual. With 65 images being interupted by 65 preloader screens, it
kinda defeats the potential aethetics of the images and may lead
one to think it's taking a long time to load them as a result.
