How do I move my iWeb website to a new machine?

Greets all,
I am currently using a buddies MBP while I'm away from home (deployed to Baghdad) lucky Me Anyway, he just upgraded his to Leopard and iLife '08. I have had a little free time lately and decided to play with iWeb...I like it. So, I will most likely buy it and upgrade when I get home.
I have spend a little time creating the family website, but then I realized I may not be able to take the info home with me. I found another post that said there was the "domain" file under HD/Users/your user name/Library/Application Support/iWeb. If I take that file home with me, can I just put it in the same place on my machine and have it all work? Without redoing everything.
Thanks in advance.

mptalent,
I'm sorry I don't know how to merge the files but yan keep them both on your computer in separated folders or named differently.
Just double click on the one or on the other to open the one you want to edit.
As far as I know there's only one person on this forum that knows how to merge them and that's not me...
originalgoast,
I don't know why time machine didn't back it up. But what I know for sure is that it should back it up...
If you have your files on .Mac (the published ones which are .html) then there's no way to get them back into iWeb again. The only way would then be to rebuild the website and copy its content from the web published site textfield by textfield (selecting all and copy and paste turns out in a mess)
Cmg9,
Search for the Domain file in the Time Machine backup, it has to be there somewhere... You might also read the answer I gave to originalgoast
As QuickTimeKirk told previously in this post that's the location where it's stored usually, search Time Machine backup:
The only way to get iWeb pages back to iWeb and edit those pages is to have the Domain.sites2 file where iWeb stores its files. To find that file go to
User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2
If you can’t find it here search for it with spotlight. Note that the extension .sites (iWeb 1.0) or .sites2 (iWeb 2.0) may be hidden, also search for Domain only. To see if a Domain file is iWeb ’06 or iWeb ’08 select the file press Command(Apple)+i under "Name & Extension" you will find that it is .sites or .sites2.
To get the site showing up in iWeb just open the Domain.sites file by double clicking on it and your sites and pages will show up on the left side in the iWeb page browser.
Regards,
Cédric

    How do I move from one website to another using Safari, while still allowing Pandora to provide music in the background? It seems that when ever I open a new URL, I lose Pandora.

    Try running Pandora in its own tab and leaving that tab open (Safari 7.1.5, OS 10.9.5).  I don't have Pandora to try this, but it works for me otherwise.

    If you want to transfer your camera roll photos, along with text messages and other data and settings from your old phone to your new one, back up the old phone then restore the backup to your new one (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109).  If you only want to transfer the photos, import them from your old phone to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, then put them in a folder and sync them to your new phone by selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  (Be aware that photos synced to your phone using iTunes can only be deleted later by syncing them off again.  They can't be deleted directly on the phone.)

  • How do i move my itunes image to a new PC? Without losing my Data

    How do i move my itunes image to a new PC? Without losing my Data

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

    I now have a HP with Windows 8 and need to move my itunes library from my Lenovo..

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Connect an external disk, go to My Music folder and copy iTunes folder to your external disk. Then, connect the external drive to your new computer, copy iTunes to My Music and open iTunes. If your library doesn't appear after opening the application, open iTunes holding Shift key and go to the folder with your library

  • I exported my passwords to a flash drive, and have a new computer. How do I get those passwords moved to the NEW machine?

    I exported my passwords to a flash drive, and have a new computer. How do I get those passwords moved to the NEW machine?

    Firefox doesn't have an "export" feature built into it for password data.
    Exactly what did you do to "export" your passwords?
    Did you use this extension?
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter/
    If so, see the screenshots on that page to see the Import function.
    If you copied the two files that are used for storing passwords from the old computer to back them up, just copy those 2 files into the Profile folder on the new computer to restore them.

  • How do I access my iWeb website when I no longer have the original iWeb program it was published with?

    Last Fall, my '06 iMac was vandalized and destroyed unexpectedlyl. Since then, I have'nt been able to access my only website, which was published through iWeb. My new iMac does not have iWeb.
    How can I access my main website published through the old iWeb? I must transfer my domain name/site to a new web host and build a new site. My website is out of date and must be updated/replaced asap. Please help.

    To edit your website, you need the domain.sites file iWeb uses to store its assets.
    You also need iWeb.
    If the file is missing and you have no backup, you'll have to start from scratch.
    Perhaps you still have the iLife install disks.
    And browse this forum to learn how to get a copy of iLife. It's often discussed.
