Create a connection to a .Mac account

You can use Contribute with your .Mac account and seamlessly set up a connection to your website. This integration of Contribute and .Mac is available on Mac OS X 10.2 and later.

Note: On Mac OSX 10.1, you need to mount your iDisk so that Contribute can detect your .Mac account. To mount your iDisk, in the Finder, select Go > iDisk.

If Contribute detects that you have an active .Mac account, you will be prompted to create a connection to your account when you start Contribute. If you dismiss the prompt, and later want to create a connection, use the Connection Assistant to create the connection to your account.

  1. Select Contribute > My Connections (Mac OS).

    The My Connections dialog box appears.

  2. Click Create.

    The Connection Assistant appears.

  3. Select .Mac website from the What do you want to connect to pop-up menu.

    Using the .Mac information stored in your computer’s system preferences, Contribute mounts your iDisk and creates the connection to the root folder of your website. For information about selecting a different folder to connect to see Select a .Mac website folder to connect to.

    Note: If Contribute does not detect your .Mac account, you will be asked if you want to set up a .Mac account.
