How can I find iweb domain files?

Hi everyone. I'm in a bit of a state! I built a fairlybig website with iweb 1 - http://www.lakesweddingmusic.com - on my old Macbook (10.4.11) which died a few months ago. I now have a Macbook Pro(10.8.2) and have imported iweb 3.0.2 (I think that's the version) from an iLife '11 disc, along with iDVD. I tried the newly imported iweb 3 and it worked well. However, my mistake was to test it out: I opened a new file from a template and called it 'blank'. Now I want to get rid of this test file and load up my already created website -lakesweddingmusic.com. However, now that I've traced my old Domain files on my old Mac's hardrive, which fortunately, was left intact after the rest of the computer died, I can't get rid of this test file I created. My problem is I can't find the new domain file that I created in order to test out iWeb 3. If I delete the file in iWeb, iWeb won't close and neither will the mac Pro close, unless I do a 'start button shut down', which seems to be the only way to close iWeb when there are no files in it. Then , when I reboot and open iweb, up comes the test file which I deleted! So it's got to be somewhere on my new Mac. I've searched Users/Me/Library/Application Support - but the only iweb folder there is the one I created which houses the Domain file which I copied from my old Macbook hard drive! I've tried searching for 'domain' but only get the file with my website on it. I simp[ly cannot find or get rid of this new file. Any suggestions as to where it might be hiding would be most welcome.

In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Please Help! Can't Find iWeb Domain File!

Hi! Need to know if I'm jacked up or if a miracle can occur!
I created a website in December using iWeb. Site was published and everything was fine. When I went to update it yesterday, it no longer shows up in iWeb! All of the supporting files are on my iDisk in the Web/Sites folder. However, when I searched for the domain in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb files and double-clicked it, a different site that I was training on opens up. The training site's supporting files are in their own folder on iDisk. Also, the training site was named differently than my published site. I did a search for all domains and opened them, but none are my published site.
Is there a way to get back the domain file or do I have to recreate the site again?
Any help is appreciated--thanks!

Roxanne, when I do a search via spotlight mine doesn't show up either. Your domain.sites2 file is likely seen as a system file. Have you done a search via finder for a filename 'domain' that is of the kind 'system'?
If not, then do this. From finder, select command+F. When the finder window opens, search 'this mac'. Click on the 'kind' button, and if it is available select 'system files'. If that is not an option, then at the bottom of the list select 'other'. That will open up a new menu of items to include under your search items. Scroll down until you find 'System files'. Select the check box to the right of 'System files' so that they will show up in your search results.
When you go back to your search window you will now be able to search for files with the name 'domain' in them. Select 'System Files' in the 'kind' drop down menu, and then make sure you select 'ARE INCLUDED' in drop down menu right next to where it shows 'system files'.
If you'd like, click on this link for a screen shot of my finder set up to search for a system file with name domain.
I hope it turns up for you!

IWeb works, but I can't find the domain file!!!!

OK - this one has had me stumped for a few days now... I have iWeb (vs. 1.1.2 - from the '06 iLife). I need to find the domain file. It isn't in the home/library/app. support/iWeb folder. I didn't move it. I searched for it using command-F and using spotlight on my computer.
iWeb is to reset and start from scratch if there isn't a domain file on your hard drive. So I know it's there somewhere (at least, I think it is?). My site is there. I can publish. I can make changes, however I can't find the domain file to make a back up of it. I don't think that I made it invisible - could I have somehow done that? And if so, is it possible to find it? I believ the program only works if the file is named "domain" so I don't think that I could have accidentally renamed it.
Is there someone out there who can help me? I don't want to have to start from scratch and rebuild the websites.
Thanks for your input!

This is from Multisite's Technical Page:
Technical Information
While you don’t need to understand how data is stored to use Multisite for iWeb it can be helpful occasionally to understand what is going on behind the scenes. At a nuts and bolts level Multisite for iWeb stores all of its sites in your home folder’s Documents folder in a single package (which is really a fancy folder dressed up to look like a file) called “Multisite for iWeb Data.mfi.”
You can open that package like this.
Once you get your domain file straightened out I'd definitely get Varkgirl's Automator application to make frequent backups of that file. You can get it Varkgirl's iWeb Tips and Tricks site.

Can't Find New Domain File

I am in the process of building a new website in iWeb '09 for the first time since upgrading to Lion but can't find the domain file I'm working on so as to make a backup. I have run the script that makes the Library folder visible, since Lion hides this folder, but the Application Support folder in Library doesn't contain a folder for iWeb. I have searched and searched for domains and .site files with no luck. Fortunately, I can open the new site in iWeb and update and publish, but I have no idea where it is finding the domain file that it is opening. As you can imagine, I'm very uneasy about not being able to back up the site as I invest more work into it.
I have two other iWeb sites that were created prior to the Lion upgrade. Each is in a separate account on my iMac. I had moved the domain files for these sites out of the Library/Application Support/iWeb folders to more easily accessible folders prior to the Lion upgrade, so they are fine.
It's the new site that is causing me concern.
Interestingly, when I move one of the old domains to a new account on my iMac as a test, when I double click on it, iWeb launches but wants me to create a new website rather than opening the site associated with the old domain file.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Use the freeware app Find File to track down the Domain - or Domain.sites2 - file...
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file
See this page for info about opening Domain files using Lion and Mountain Lion...
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file
Also note that you don't have to run a script to show the user Library. Just open the Finder Go menu while holding down the option key.
On the same page you will find a link to the freeware Mountain Tweaks which will hide/show the library plus a lot of other exciting tweaks.

Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

You can't do that.
And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.

How can i find out the file size of a Keynote on an iPad please?

How can i find out the file size of a Keynote on an iPad please?

I think a rule of thumb is what you're looking for.
Full bandwidth CD audio (AIFF): about 10 MB/min
Apple Lossless: about 5 MB/min
MP3 @ 256k: about 2 MB/min
MP3 @ 128k: about 1 MB/min
Of course the MP3 file size is exactly linear with bit rate.
As for sound quality:
Apple Lossless is, as the name says, lossless.
MP3 @128k: fine for listening in the car or the kitchen etc. If you have an audiophile sound system, this will remind you why you spent all that money.
MP3 @256K: barely distinguishable from CD on very good equipment.
MP3 @320K: probably not distinguishable from CD.
I presume that since you're talking about importing classical CDs these are ones you own. Remember you can always do it again if you need higher fidelity or if better technology comes out. I import most CDs at 128k, since most of my MP3 listening is in the car, or walking, or as background. And I can always play the CD if I want to sit and listen.
The logic for purchased music is totally different -- you probably won't get to upgrade that without buying it some different way. So buying 128k MP3s (or AACs) is something you'll probably regret later. Buying 256k MP3s is a lot less problematic.

How can I find the largest files on my hard drive (sorted in descending order of size)?

To make most efficient use of Time Machine backup, I would like to have the option to exclude certain larger files that I don't need to save in case of a disk crash (e.g. a Windows partition under Parallels Desktop, which is backed up at the office anyway) etc.
I can't figure out how I can scan my entire hard drive and obtain a list of all files in descending order of size, irrespective of within which subdirectories such files are hidden. Anyone having an idea on how this simple task can be accomplished?
Thanks,
AnLe41

While Finder is active, press Command-F (Find in the File menu).
In that window you can set search criteria. In the second sub-toolbar should be a couple of buttons representing pulldown menus; by default, the first usually shows "kind". Click that one.
In the menu that opens, if "Size" or "File Size" is not available, select "Other". Then in the new window select "Size" or "File Size" and okay the window. From then on that choice will be available in the first pulldown menu.
You can use that to search your drive.
Note - by clicking the "+" button at the far right of the strip containing the pulldown menus, you can add additional search criteria, thus restricting a search to exactly what you want.

Last night, mail suddenly lost all my emails, which were stored in mailboxes. What happened and how can I find my lost files? I have the latest MacBookPro, running Lion 10.7.2 all software updates installed

Last night the mail application from Apple lost all my old emails, which were stored in mailboxes, neatly sorted by category. What happened and how do I find them?
Details: I shut down mail to run errands outside my office. My late model MacBook Pro was on "sleep". When I returned, I opened the application, and (RATS!) all the mailboxes were missing. They just evaporated.
Operating system: 10.7.2 - all software updates installed and current as of 24 hours ago (12-30-11, 6 AM EST).
ln the mail program, the trash folder is OK and the sent folder is OK.
Yesterday, I did no maintenance on my mail folders.
HELP!

1 - the sudden disappearance of my 22 mailboxes, used to sort the emails that I need to file for future use
That was most likely the result of some kind of corruption, as I've already said, not a bug in Mail. Have you repaired the hard drive with Disk Utility recently? That wouldn't be a bad idea.
2 - at random times, mail (or the server) says that my password is incorrect and I must reenter (fix: usually I can quit mail, restart, and the connection is restored without reentering my password)
This is a known issue, where a failure to respond promptly on the server's end mimics what happens when the password is rejected. There's no need to quit Mail, just cancel when asked to enter the password, take the account back online and try again.
3 - mail seems to resort the mail in my mailboxes at random time. Several times a day, I must reset the sort to (a) by date; (b) by desending
Never seen that before. That points more to some kind of possible corruption in your Mail data or preference files.

Can't transfer iweb domain file to laptop

I am trying to move my iweb website from my imac to my macbook. I have burnt the domain file to a disk and tried to open in in iweb on my macbook but it opens a fresh iweb with none of my sites. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong.
I am using iweb v3.0.2 on both my imac and macbook
I have looked in my library folder, as I heard I would need to copy the iweb folder from here, but the iweb folder is not there.
Any advise appreciated
Regards
Ian

The default location for the domain file is - Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb - but you can put it anywhere. See my post here...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2540081&tstart=0
If you want, create a new folder in Home Folder/Library/Application Support, name it iWeb, drag the domain file into it and then double click the Domain.sites2 to launch iWeb.
After you have launched iWeb by double clicking the domain file, saved and quit for the first time, you will then be able to launch your site from the Dock icon as normal.

Time machine - on a new Mac, how can I find my old files?

My iMac had to give way to the new baby, so I got myself an older MacBook Pro to replace it. I used the Migration Assistant to port all my music, photos etc. over, but the hard disk was smaller so had to forgo some bigger files - like my iMovie library.
As a regular Time Machine/Capsule user, I figured getting a hold of everything would be feasible.
However, now on the MacBook Pro, I can't connect to my old Time Machine volume for the iMac, and can't access any of the stuff I didn't port over. I'm certain the iMovie library is there, but I can't see past "Today" in Time Machine. Any help on how I can access my old files will be most appreciated.

How can I find an ID file that contains a text...?

I've been working with InDesign for a long time. So, I have a lot of .indd files, from version 1 up to CS3.
I need to find a file(s) that contains a specific text. E.g. the name of a person, that I'm sure is somewhere in my thousands of ID files.
It's impossible to open all the files until I locate that text.
In Windows Explorer, there's a way to search a word or phrase in a file, but it only returns doc, txt, rft, and other text files, even pdf. But not indd.
Can somebody help me, please?
Thanks,
Hirao

Have you tried changing the extension on your .indd files to .txt? It's
a binary format, but there's a lot of plain text in there. The name
you're looking for, or part of it, is probably in there somewhere.
Search for the shortest possible text string. Some words are not continuous.

How can I find the correct file size of a layered Photoshop document?

I need to send layered PSD files by email (Mac's Mail), and I don't use services like Dropbox. My ISP allows a maximum file size of 5 MB. I reduce the file size by reducing it to 8 MB/channel, 150 ppi and reducing the maximum size dimension to 10 inches. I'm using CS6 on a Mac.
If I check the file size using Get Info, I get 9.4 MB.
If the file is nested in a folder, the size is likewise, 9.4MB.
If I attach the file to an email, I notice at the bottom left the file size is given as 12.0 MB.
If I send the PSD layered file to myself, I find it uploads and dowloads quickly. On the email itself, it says, "1 attachment, 923 MB".
On my Mac "MAIL" folder, it says the the file is 1.2 MB.
If I calculate the file size mathematically, I get a size of approximately 4.3 MB. That is not counting the individual layers or the mask stored in Channels, for which I don't know the calculation.
This is a total of 6 measurements of the file size of my attachment, 5 of which differ.
Is one of these correct?

I'd say 9.4 mb is correct. Email attachments always put on a lot of weight, so 12 mb as an attachment is probably right too.
Why don't you use a free service like Filemail? It's very easy to use, and you dont't have to sign up to use it.
