Iweb won't open all my sites after migrating over to macbook

Hi again
So i migrated all my files and apps from my imac to my new macbook pro so that now i can do work on my movies and websites while away from the desktop.
I have several sites which I've renamed to identify them and i put the iweb folder into the dock and can choose which site to work on from there. Works perfectly ... on the imac. (I publish the sites to an external drive)
Today I opened iweb the first time on my macbook pro by clicking on one site in the iweb folder in the dock. It opened fine and i made my updates perfectly, then i closed iweb.
I clicked on a second site  in the dock folder to update it and iweb opened .... but it opened the first site ag: i closed iweb and tried a different site: the same thing happened.
So i went to the root iweb folder to select the second site and 'open with...' but the first site opened again.
I went back to the imac, and everything is fine ... so i copied the two sites to a jumpdrive to transfer to the macbook again, but still the same problem: the only iweb site that opens is the first site i worked on.
This is a problem, because i wanted the macbook so i can work on these jobs anywhere, not just on my imac (which is becoming inconvenient).
How can i solve this?
what else can i do to open these sites? is there a workaround?
Help !!!
Thank you
Elizabeth

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.

  • IWeb won't open-cannot find "index.xml" file

    I've been having kernel panics lately and ran off my hard drive to another Mac (iMac) -not using migration assistant-and upon returning back to my main computer (MacBook Pro) and after diligently saving my Domain file, iWeb won't open because it cannot find the "index.xml". I have the site up on my idisk and when I open up the package in Domain, there's plenty in there. How do I get back to where I was-an iWeb site that I can manipulate.
    Any way I can get what I do still have to work? Or do I have to make my site from scratch again even though I have loads of files all over the place and only this one missing?
    I think Apple needs to tell us "how" and "what" to save when we need to vacate a computer because of kernel panics and the like-wouldn't you say? I ALWAYS suffer from something missing when I have to put the OS back on the computer from scratch-not to mention hours of wasted time downloading updates again and having to find keycodes and various application discs!

    Welcome to the discussions, RPashman.
    I got this message before when I was editing multiple Domain.sites. I believe it happened when I tried to Publish when the Domain was not in the iWeb folder. During the Publish, it places a Domain file in the iWeb folder (maybe because it has to publish from there even though the actual file is elsewhere??) and if anything goes wrong, iWeb when it next opens will default to that improperly created Domain.sites file.
    Check in the iWeb directory (Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites
    ) and see how large the Domain.sites file is. If it's something under a meg, then maybe this is what happened to you. Move it out of that directory (I held mine just in case) then relaunch iWeb. Since there's not a Domain.sites file there anymore, it should ask if you want to create one or open an existing one.
    Not sure if this happened to you, but it's possible. It happened to this user as well.

  • Installed new version of Mac OS x and iWeb won't open

    I installed new version of Mac OS x last night and iWeb won't open

    I spent an exhausting night testing programs after updating. My iWeb works as expected after the update. No network problems whatsoever. You may want to see if you are connected to the internet. iWeb opens incredibly slowly when there is no connection. Try opening Safari and see if you are surfing normally.
    Lion hides the Library folders, probably so users can't mess with them. I downloaded the latest beta of Onyx and was able to get the Library folders to show again.
    The only problem I had were some font issues. Do you have a font manager installed? Lion installs its font program and it is set to automatically activate fonts. I turned all autoactivation off.
    Lion has no Rosetta and Power PC programs are no longer supported. Do you have the newest version of iWeb installed? I also have been updating my Mac constantly. You may want to run software update and make sure all your programs are current.

  • PDF Files on desktop won;t open all the way. 11.07 won't download with Maverick 11.06

    I have Maverick 11.0.6.  It quit downloading 11.07 half way through.  Also, some PDF files on my desktop won;t open all the way.  Still show the logo. What is going on?

    The Installer that you had downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5786 is the 11.0.07 patch update for Reader XI. It shows the dialog "choose the copy of Adobe Reader to update" under following scenarios:
    1. When it finds more than one copy of Adobe Reader installed on a system. In this case, You need to choose the application that you use, like browse to Applications directory and choose Adobe Reader if that is the location from where you use the application.
    2. When the installer didn't find any copy of Adobe Reader installed on a system which it needs to update. In this case, you may install Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.07 directly from here get.adobe.com/reader/ from the same machine you intend to use it on.
    Please let us know if any of the above suggestion resolved your problem.

  • After iTunes update, email won't send, only receive. Email setup form won't open all the way.

    What can I do to get the add email form to open all the way. It won't scroll down enough to let me enter outgoing mail server information. When I forced it by hitting the enter button and blindly fill in each box, it seemed to work; but when I checked my email, I found that I could receive mail but mail wouldn't send. It kept telling me I have the wrong user name or password, and of course I don't. This only started after the latest iTunes upgrade.
    The other problem is that I need to set it up as a pop account and the only way I can get that option instead of iMap is to fool it by typing in one wrong letter on my email which I correct when the page comes up giving me both iMap and Pop options.
    Anyone else having this scroll problem. It's only on my iPad 2 and no on my iPhone of iPod touch

  • Iweb won't open properly

    I'm using iWeb '09 on a MacBookPro. It's all been fine, but it suddenly won't open properly. The options in the drop down menus are greyed out and it doesn't open to an iWeb page. The iWeb name appears in the menu bar, but nothing works. I've tried force-quitting it a few times, and I've shut down and started up again a few times, but no good. When I click on the iWeb icon in the dock it doesn't 'bounce' properly.
    Anyone got any thoughts? Thanks very much. x

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
    3 - reboot.
    4 - launch iWeb and see if it will open.
    If that doesn't help continue:
    5 - move the domain file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    6 - launch iWeb, create a new test site and save.
    7 - go to the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    8 - move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    9 - launch iWeb and try again.
