to commonly asked questions.

making an alias with mobileme

I am going to hurt someone... then start drinking!  What have they done to the new iWeb!  I cannot seem to get my website re-published.  I bought more space, as it says I don't have enough... I go to publish and log into my me.com account... and it says that only 1 gig is used and it will not publish my site!  Also, I want to back-up my address book, etc. but I cannot click on the buttons!

This is really, really frustrating!  The IWeb program says I need more space on me.com, meanwhile, nothing is being backed-up, published, saved in the 59 gig of space I just bought!

Augh!

Ok. the first thing you’ll want to check is the space allocation on your iDisk. All your galleries, media, iWeb stuff, etc... is saved on your iDisk but by default it’s 50% email 50% storage. Two things to check:

1. Go to system prefs then mobileme and select iDisk to see what the usage bar says.


Next, go to me.com and login to view your system prefs. Here’s where you can change how much is allocated to each function. I usually reduce my email amount to around 2 gigs or so.

You may also try republishing your iWeb page completely as opposed to only updated pages. That function is in iWeb. Overall, iWeb is good to start with but I outgrew it and moved to RapidWeaver. I’ve enjoyed it very much ever since. More power but also a little harder to use.

To address the address book problem...You sometimes have to clear the server info and replace it with your address book on your computer. First, back up address book by creating an address book archive from the application itself. Next, go to your mobileme prefs in system prefs again and check your sync settings. Now go to advanced and select to replace address book data on the server with info from your computer.
