Yahoo domain and .Mac

I have a question similar to one discussed here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1313370&tstart=135
I have added a CNAME record and www.mydomain.com now forwards smoothly to the content I've put up on .Mac.
However, mydomain.com does not. Yahoo only has an A record for the domain without www and it requires an IP address. Doing a DNS lookup on web.mac.com produces 17.250.248.34, however http://17.250.248.34 in a browser is much different from http://web.mac.com. Would that work??
I thought of trying to put a Yahoo front page for mydomain.com with a Javascript redirect to www.mydomain.com, but sadly they don't allow Javascript (or even HTML markup for that matter).
It also seems that the search engines visit the URL without the www, so this is seriously messed up.
Thanks for any ideas!

Help? Yahoo says to set up an A record, leave Source blank (_____.houseofbeing.com) and enter an IP address as Destination. I entered the IP address for web.mac.com: 17.250.248.34.
Yahoo gave an error message:
Warning: Some Advanced DNS configurations can disrupt your service. Please carefully plan your configuration. For more information, refer to our Advanced DNS Help pages.
The record that you requested cannot be set up because it would otherwise interfere with DNS records Yahoo! has created to support your service. Please choose a different source hostname.
Add an A or CNAME Record
Enter a hostname in the "Source" field. To create an A Record, enter an IP address in the "Destination" field. To create a CNAME, enter a hostname as a destination instead.
Note: Any changes you submit will take 30 minutes to take effect.
Source: _______.houseofbeing.com
Hint: Enter "info" to create the hostname info.houseofbeing.com. To create an A Record for your root domain name, leave the Source field blank.
Destination: 17.250.248.34
Hint: For an A Record, enter an IP address, like 17.12.22.11. For a CNAME record, enter another hostname, like info.other-domain.com

  • How to Publish to a personal domain AND .Mac?

    I had a working iWeb site published to web.mac and it working fine. I added a new site in iWeb08 and set up a personal domain. When I selected the new site and published, BOTH my old site and the new one published to my personal domain. How do I tell iWeb08 to publish one site to a personal domain and another site to .Mac (.Me)?

    This post is a little confusing. Do you have two sites hosted at MMe or not?
    Do you mean that you used to host your business site and MMe and have now switched to uploading directly to your web host using ftp? If you have, then you can of course delete this site from your iDisk/MMe account, because if you have uploaded directly, then MMe has nothing to do with your domain name any more.
    If you have not done this and you are hosting both your sites on your MMe account via either CNAME or web forwarding, then no, you can't delete that site because if you do, there is nowhere to forward to.
    Password protection will not affect any other sites that you have. Just go into iWeb and set this up and then re-publish and it will just affect that site that you set it up for. Nothing else.

  • Syncing Yahoo Mail and Mac Mail

    I upgraded to Yahoo Mail Pro in order to use my Yahoo Mail through Mac Mail. When I delete an email through Safari/Yahoo, Mac Mail does not reflect that. How can I sync the two so that what I do in one occurs in the other? Further, for some reason all but four of my emails got deleted out of my Safari/Yahoo account. How the heck did that happen?

    You can't. Yahoo Plus only offers POP access. To do what you want, you'll need an email provider who offers email via IMAP.

  • Is anyone having difficulties with the new yahoo mail and mac 10.8.5?

    I am using an older intel based imac desktop...it is updated to 10.8.5    I use Safari to browse.   I use Yahoo for my email.  I know...don't say it.  Please.  LOL
    Anyway, it seems that Yahoo has changed their email system (again) and I am having all types of difficulties.  For starters it keeps asking to I want to expand or collapse all.  The icon or whatever it is called these days stays right there on my inbox and blocks me from getting to the email that is beneath it.   When I try to forward and delete the sender's name, it deletes the entire email.  Is anyone else having these difficulties? 
    Thank you
    Paul

    As a general rule of thumb, I never install updates until I read its info and I am having problems with my current software.  I hide the updates until I need them.  Usually this happens when I update or upgrade my os.  I don't fix what ain't broken is my golden rule.
    It is possible that you need to update or upgrade Quark in order for your newer printer driver to work.  First I would try the following....
    Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.
    Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
    Select your language.
    Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
    Select Disk Utility.
    Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
    Click Repair Disk.
    Restart your computer when done.
    Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963 and restart your computer.
    If your printer does not work afterwards, update or upgrade Quark.  If that does not work, contact the printer manufacturer.

  • Domain and .mac

    Can anyone tell me - If I register my personal domain name with .mac on iweb and create a new site will my other sites (made on iweb and published to .mac be changed). In other words will all sites now be on the domain name or can they be different.Thanks

    To add to Roddy's information:
    I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
    If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

  • Yahoo mail and .Mac

    Here's the problem: when I'm on a web page and click on a "Contact Us" or "Send us an E-mail" link, my computer opens the Mail app. and I get a window prompting me to set up a .Mac account. I use Yahoo mail (the free kind) and don't really feel the need to set up a .Mac account (you have to pay for those, right?).
    I downloaded "Yahoo Mailer" from macupdate.com. This software redirects from the link to a blank "Compose" window on my Yahoo mail. That part works fine, but the "To" box is empty, when it should have the recipient's e-mail address. At this point, I'm not able to contact anyone who has just a "Send us an e-mail" link. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

    When creating an account with the Mail application, .Mac is selected as the account type by default but it isn't required to purchase a .Mac account in order to use the Mail application to access an email account.
    The Mail applications supports the following account types:
    .Mac (which is really an IMAP account and behaves in the same way)
    IMAP
    POP
    Exchange
    But Yahoo prevents accessing a free Yahoo account with any email client such as the Mail.app but you can access a Yahoo Mail Plus or paid account as a POP account with an email client such as Mail which costs only $20/yr.
    To each his/her own but I prefer using an email client such as Mail over webmail access which is primarily designed for accessing an email account when away from your computer using another computer besides your own with internet access.

  • Yahoo Mail and Mac mail

    Can anyone help?
    I have had a macbook for over a year and successfully used its mail program with yahoo mail.
    Over the past week, I cannot send email. I receive everything fine but cannot send or reply.
    Account work fine from iphone.
    I have tried changing server/smtp bits and security with no avail. I have even re-installed the program to see if that helps.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Sue

    Try manually setting up the account—when you enter your address & password, hold down the Option key when you click Continue. That will allow you to specify manual server settings. Try these settings. I don't know if Yahoo Mail requires a password authentication for its SMTP server.
    You can also try contacting Yahoo directly.

  • .mac iWeb site with yahoo domain- much trouble

    I have 5 websites made with iweb hosted by .mac.
    I just got a yahoo domain name, (organizedmayhemmusic.com).
    I want to set that domain name to only one of my sites within iWeb,
    but I'm having allot of trouble. Right now I have my yahoo domain settings
    set to a masked forward, but I'd like it to work how I originally intended it to.
    Which would be when you go to (www.organizedmayhemmusic.com) it shows my iweb site
    without any weird stuff or tricks or redirects, if possible. Under yahoo Advanced DNS Settings
    I added a record, and it asks for a source, and destination. The source example was
    info.thesitename.com. but I don't want any thing in front of it, I'm actually still confused on
    all of that. I ended up setting the source to (www), and the destination to (web.mac.com).
    Then I created the settings on the .mac account page for a personal domain. And after I typed in
    my address it got me to (www.organizedmayhemmusic.com/OrganizedMayhem/OrganizedMayhem.html)
    Its my iweb site adress but it replaced web.mac.com with my new domain name.
    I want it to be just (www.organizedmayhemmusic.com) and worst of all you can type my other
    site/page names after (www.organizedmayhemmusic.com/) and get to my other sites but with
    my new domain name in the address. If anyone has any help to offer I would greatly appreciate it.
    I never ask for help unless I'm pretty desperate. Thanks in advance, -Terodil-

    If anyone has any help to offer
    Your choices are to go back to forwarding/masking or move your site to Yahoo.

  • Masking and Forwarding domain to mac address

    Hope I have the lingo correct, but I have a domain address that is on all of my print material. When I developed my site in iWeb, I needed to have only that published domain name appear. I went to my host and had them turn on forwarding and masking, but I can't seem to get it all together to make it happen. Can anyone help and/or guide me?
    Question #2: is there some magic to perform in order for my iWeb site to appear correctly in Windows/Internet Explorer and other venues. It seems to have some glitches in other internet software re appearance.
    Thanks

    I went to my host and had them turn on forwarding and masking, but I can't seem to get it all together to make it happen.
    Could you provide your personal and .Mac urls so we can see what is going on?

  • 2-way Trust Relationship between Windows and Mac Domain

    Hi guys I hope someone can help me.
    Just a quick explanation of what I am trying to do.
    I have an Xserve running OSX 10.5.8 server, which is the OD Master. On that server I’m running Kerio mail server. I have a Microsoft 2003 server running AD.
    The problem is I need to run BlackBerry Enterprise on the Windows server as the BlackBerry need active directory to work.
    Since I have both system already running, I do not want to destroy my open directory just to get the BlackBerry working.
    So what I have tried to do is create a 2-way Trust Relationship between the 2 domains, so the BlackBerry server will talk to the Kerio mail server.
    The trust relationship appears to create fine from the Windows server side, but I’m not able to retrieve LDAP information from the open directory server.
    The creation from the OSX server starts fine automated but then I had to finish it manually.
    Has anyone else here created a 2-way trust relationship between Windows and Mac’s before? Any help on how you did it would be appreciated. Thanks

    Have you checked on when the computer last checked in and changed the computer account password with the domain?  When a computer changes it's password, Active Directory will store only the current password and it does not expire.  The workstation
    will store both the current password and the previous password.  This for cases when you may restore Active Directory to a point before the computer password change.  
    To handle this, the workstation will try it's current password, then it's previous.
    If you're restoring the workstation to a previous point in time, you may be rolling the stored passwords back too far for Active Directory to accept.  I would only imagine this to be the case a handful of times if you're going back 1-2 days.
    Are you experiencing 100% failure?

  • HT1277 I have my yahoo mail as my mail account on my mac mini.   While I am reading my emails, I keep having to give my  yahoo password and "sign in" every few minutes.   What is going on?

    I have my yahoo mail as my mail account on my mac mini.  While I am reading my emails, I keep having to give my yahoo password and "sign in" every few minutes.   What is going on?

    Network errors can cause the password dialog.
    The correct answer to a Mail.app password dialog is almost always cancel, too.

  • After Mac OS X 10.6.3 upgrade can't access Yahoo mail and repeatedly get message ""Sorry, we are over capacity. Please wait a moment and try again." Help, please,

    After Mac OS X 10.6.3 upgrade can't access Yahoo mail and repeatedly get message ""Sorry, we are over capacity. Please wait a moment and try again." Help, please.

    Did you run all the software updates after the 10.6.3 update, especially this one which will bring you up to 10.6.8.
    Mac OSX 10.6.8 V1.1 Combo update
    Run software update, starting with the one above.
    Then call your provider and ask them what is going on. They have probably changed POP to IMAP, 10.6.8 supports IMAP

    Note that you lose privacy when using Gmail (and Yahoo):
    Gmail and Yahoo both scan users' emails. They do algorithmic analysis of your email messages, targeting ads that relate to the content of your messages. Defenders point out that "they", are not people, but machines. And they argue that it is a harmless way of making advertising relevant to users and raising revenues.
    Others might say that whether a machine or a human is doing the work, the potential for a privacy breach is there.
