IWeb - Moving iweb site from one mac to another mac.

Hi,
I am using iWeb 08 and would like to move the iWeb site that was created on one mac to another mac to continue editing on the other mac. Any one now how to do this.
Thanks

Hi Tsofa,
You need to locate and copy the Domain.site2 file which iWeb creates.
By default this is usually located in User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
You can copy this to any location on the other mac. As long as you use this file to start iWeb, it will recognise it as your default.
If you want to create a new one, but still keep the old, just rename the file and start iWeb, which will generate a new Domain.sites2 file

  • Moving iweb site from one comuper to another

    I just brought a new imac, i have been using my powerbook to work on my site, bu tnow i want to be able to work on my site on the imac as well. but i don;t know how to transfer my pages to the new computer? help please anyone

    There is only one file that you need to move from your PowerBook to your new mac....it is named "Domain". You can find it on your hard drive in the /Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ folder.
    1. Launch iWeb on the new mac at least once, then quit. This should create the default folder pathway and a blank Domain file.
    2. Copy the Domain file from your PowerBook to the new mac and replace the preexisting Domain file in the same folder pathway as the original.
    3. Launch iWeb and you should see your sites.

    i have a website made with 09 on my g5 tower and published to a host. I have a copy on a thumb drive so I can work on it on my pb when I travel but I can't seem to navigate to it or open it. I know this must be possible but I cannot find out how. Thanks in advance

  • Moving iWeb site from one computer to another

    Hello,
    I tried looking for an answer to this, but couldn't find one that was specific to this question.
    I have iWeb on my computer at home, but I've created a site on a friends computer (using iWeb) and want to add this recently created site to my computer at home. I know I can copy the Domain file, but if I put that into my iWeb folder at home, won't that overwrite all the sites I've already created?
    My question is: is there anyway to add a previously created site on a different computer to my existing roster of sites created on my home computer?
    Thanks!

    Hi Blair,
    You cannot combine all the sites into one Domain file, and you would not want to do this anyway, even if you could; and yes, if you place the other Domain into the same path on your home machine, you will replace the Domain file that is there now.
    What you should do to manage both sites/Domains from the same machine is change the default location of the Domain files to a folder structure, and manage the Domain files from there.
    Create a couple of folders and name them, "Home Domain" and "Friend's Domain", for example. Place the Domains inside of these folders, and when you want to work on sites within a specific Domain just open the respective folder and double-click on the Domain file inside. iWeb will open and you will see the sites contained in that Domain as you have always seen them.
    You will be able to move back and forth between these Domains created on different machines very easily this way.

  • What FILE do I need again? (moving WEB SITE from one COMPUTER to another)

    Can someone tell me what file I need?
    I can't remember and what to do. It's my understanding that all you have to do is move the file to the same location on the new computer and it should open in the new location, correct?
    You would think that iWeb would upload this to the web for easy access and ability to edit from any computer.
    Thanks.
    PS. Does anyone think iWEB will mature to a level somewhat more experienced, ala dream weaver, at least some more in-depth tools? I would love to see Apple develop iWeb more as well as a flash type of program as only Apple could create a program that is very complicated (FLASH) and make it somewhat easy. There are others out there for the PC, but none for the mac. I also think if Apple released a deep yet easy to learn flash tool that they would make some deep in-roads to developers. For the PC users, check out SWISH, and at one time, Adobe had a pretty good program too, can't remember what it was called, but they stopped developing that years ago.

    You need ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2, where ~ is the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon. It's a package, not a file.

  • Moving iWeb data from one computer to another

    I have an iWeb site on my old mac lap top. I can not get the data to transfer to the new laptop. How do I move all iweb entries from one computer to another?

    I would say that if you created pages in iWeb, your ability to do this originated from a basic Domain file, and it is there, in your computer, somewhere. I have seen cases where it appeared as though work that was published to a folder and not 'saved' in the application didn't make it into the Domain file, but I haven't been able to replicate this situation.
    Spotlight "Domain", and see what comes up. Also, make sure you are looking in your Home Folder location, not your main HD library.

  • Hosting Your iWeb Site From Your Mac

    If you don't have a .Mac account or you don't want to pay a monthly fee to host your new website you created with iWeb, you can use OS X's built-in Apache Web server. To accomplish this, follow the steps in the link below.

    I was able to get this to work, using the same configuration you mention. The way I did it was to set up the IP address on my LAN using fixed static addresses, and to have the router "forward" the http packets to the Mac running Apache. In Network system preferences panel, you also need to set the DNS servers address to the address of the router on the LAN. In order to reduce hackers trying to break in, I don't use the standard port 80 for my address, but use some other 4-digit port (e.g., 8182), so my website address ends up looking like www.whatever:8182. Instead of "no-IP.com" I used the free dynamic name service from http://www.dyndns.com/. I also put the web content on a firewire disk, which requires a little editing of the httpd.conf file. This was another security precaution. Anyhow, its been working great -- not a single problem. Also, Weblock is great shareware that lets you assign login IDs on the web folders.

  • Move a site from one Mac to another without losing sites already there

    I would like to move a site from one Mac to another without losing the websites that I have already built on the other Mac. Transfering the Domain file is not helping. Is there away to open the new domain file and adding those sites to the domain file associated with this copy of iWeb? I have searched the discussions but am not seeing any clear answers. They all seam to invilve new users or losing the sites already on that mac.

    I seem to have solved my own problem. This may help other users. I found a tip and a web page that suggested moving the Domain File from the application support folder to another on the desktop on one of the computers and then putting the 2nd Domain File from the other computer in a separate folder on the desktop. This is because you can not change the name of the Domain File . Then by double clicking the Domain File with the site wanted, iWeb opens with that set of sites.
    I started with what was to be the new master Domain File and stated a new site with a blank page. saved, did not publish and closed iWeb. Opened from the other Domain File and then clicked and opened the site and page I wanted, then selected all, copied all and closed iweb. Went back to the master Domain File , opened iWeb using that, went to the blank page and pasted in the page from the other Domain File from the other computer. Saved, closed iWeb and repeated till I had all pages. Changed the names to match the sites and Pages. I did not allow iWeb to publish during this process. Took all of 10 minutes and I now have a Domain File with all the sites in one place. I then copied this file back into its original location in Library/application support/iWeb on both computers. I now have all sites in iWeb on both computers.

  • Transfer iweb files from one computer to another

    Does anyone know how to transfer iweb files from one computer to another?

    Change the name of the file to Domain-2.sites2 and try to copy it to the Desktop on the new Mac.
    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.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Optionsmenu to bring the this window:

  • Transfer iWeb project from one computer to another

  • I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library.  However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.

    I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library.  However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library. 
    I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over.  Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over?  I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another.  Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.

    I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • I have over 200 hours of HD video on 5 different TB Thunderbolt GRaid hard drives. I need to reorganize my projects, moving large files from one drive to another. Advice?

    Do some testing to get your method working right with some less than important footage.
    Copy/paste files where you want then.
    Use the FCE Reconnect feature to tell FCE where the newly copied files reside.
    Make sure the new location and files are working as expected with your Projects.
    Delete the original files if no longer required.

  • Moving multiple queries from one category to another in QM

    Hi All,
    Is there is any way of moving multiple queries from one category to another in the query manager?
    Or is the only way of doing it by saving each one individually into a different category.
    Any ideas ?
    Regards,
    Rakesh N

    Hi Rakesh,
    The query manager has limited function compare with normal file management applications. Under current design, you have to do this one by one. You just need to make sure move the smaller amount of queries to large category. Category name can be changed easily.
    Thanks,
    Gordon

  • Moving CMS database from one server to another

    Using the following:
    Crystal Enterprise 10, installed on W2K3 Server R2 (not making any changes to this server);
    CMS database, installed on W2K Server, SQL Server 2000, SP3
    New database server: W2K3 Server R2, SQL Server 2005, SP2
    I found what I think are the steps to moving the database from one place to another in the CE10 Administrator's guide (pages 291-300, but I want to make sure there aren't any "gotchas" when moving the database location and/or upgrading the database version.  I'm primarily a DBA, so I already know about the Schema security change going from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005.
    In a nutshell, here's my plan:
    1. Take fresh backup of the existing CMS database
    2. Stop Crystal Management Server
    3. Click "Specify CMS Data Source" on the toolbar.
    4. ETC--following the steps in the admin guide
    If anyone has done this and has run into any problems (what I'm expecting) or had it go smoothly (I would be surprised), please let me know what to expect.
    Thanks!

    All you really need to do is stop the crystal services.
    Backup the CMS and Auditing database
    Detach the CMS and Auditing database
    Copy CMS and Auditing databases to new DB server
    Attach the CMS and Auditing databases
    Set the compatibility mode
    On the servers/s that host the CMS service, modify the ODBC connections to point to the new database server
    Start the CMS service, fire up the Crystal services.
    One thing to note, I don't think SQL 2005 is a supported platform for CE10 - this doesn't mean it won't work and since the support lifecycle for the product is long gone it doesn't really make much difference however you may want to run some thorough testing prior to the move.
