Recovering iweb website from .mac

I recently had my laptop stolen and need to rebuild the website on a new mac. I see in my .mac idisk that there are images of my website. Can they someone be dragged back into iweb or am I stuck recreating my web site?

you are stuck recreating your website

  • Restoring iWeb website from .mac and idisk files

    my hard drive on my PowerMac failed this week and was replaced.
    i am trying to restore my website in iWeb on the Mac. I sync with iDisk and it appears all the content is in directories there under /web/sites/iWeb.
    To start up iWeb with all files in place on my Mac, where do I need to put these files?
    Thanks,

    all of the iWeb files are saved in a file called DOMAIN on your hard disk. You find it here.
    harddisk/users/username/library/application support/iweb/domain
    THIS is the file you have to back up after you publish or save your site. If your hard disk crashes again, just put the copy into the folder of this path and reopen iweb.
    The post above about recopying the files into iWeb is right. It's not iWeb's fault that your disk crashed. Any program data that wasn't backed up, regardless of the application, was lost when that disk crashed.
    I know this isn't what you needed to hear bro, but I hope it helps for the future.

  • Download iWeb site from .mac

    Hello
    I make most of my iWeb pages (ver 1.1) at home, but sometimes I am at my vacation home. I have iLife on both machines. Can I download the site I have made which is on .Mac to my second computer AND create new pages to be uploaded to .Mac? I have tried looking around for such a command but I can't find any. I realize that any pages I make on the second machine will have to be updated on my main machine.

    No, because the published files on MobileMe (previously .Mac) cannot be opened in iWeb. Only iWeb's key Domain file can be opened in iWeb, so you can transfer that to another Mac as explained in these articles — the first also applies to iWeb '06...

  • Need to be able to run my iweb website from a CD on a PC and a Mac

    I'm creating a website for a school project, and every time I copy the files or publish the website to the CD, it will not run the website off of the CD on a PC, only the mac i'm creating it on.
    I can look at each individual page, but it will not show any content but the title and background when i open the index folder.
    The links do not appear in the Nav Bar, and the albums do not appear on the pages i made.
    I have only tried to access it on PC's, not another Mac. It runs fine off of the Mac i'm making it on.
    Please help,
    Matt

  • Can I recover iWeb files from MobileMe?

    Migration Assistant hasn't been very good to me over the years and when I moved from my old iMac to my Intel iMac I had to do all the transferring of files by hand - painful... and not so effective as it turns out. Somehow I lost the base files (not sure what they're called) for all of my iWeb sites. Now when I open iWeb it starts from scratch as if I'd never created any pages before.
    However, my sites are all still up on MobileMe and so I can browse to them. And obviously when I go to MobileMe and look in the Web/Sites/iWeb folder I see the files for my old sites. It looks as if there's a folder for each site, an HTML file for each page and a folder for all of the files displayed on that page.
    My question is whether there is any way to recover these sites and pages back onto my mac so that I can edit them. Anyone know if that be done?
    Thanks!

    Benjamin ~ Only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
    Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.
    Paragraph 2.3 of _this FAQ page_ gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch.

  • Transfer iweb website from one "User" to another on same computer

    Hi there, I've been building two websites using one .mac account. Now I need to send one of the websites to another .mac account so they can be completely separate from each other.
    I created another "user" on my computer so that way I'll have only one website loading each time I open iWeb determined by which "user" I have open on my computer.
    Here's the problem...how do I get the material from iWeb to transfer to this new "user" I created? I chose "PUBLISH TO A FOLDER" and then dragged that folder to the SHARED FILE, and then dragged that folder onto the new user I created...but when I open iWeb on the new user it doesn't display anything from that Folder.
    Where do I put the material from that folder so that iWeb will read it when it opens? I can't find an "import" button, or anything like that.
    Thanks

    iWeb stores your data in a domain.sites2 file in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
    Copy this file and paste it into the equivalent location in the other user account.
    Make sure you give this user "write" permission.

  • I've been using mac since 2002 and I need to recover my mails from mac (entourage?) from 2002-2007 how do I do this, are they kept on a mac server?

    I need to retrieve my emails from my email account for a court case.
    Does mac/apple store them?
    2002 - 2007
    best wishes,

    Imap means that it syncs between your computer and the server: if you have nothing on your computer it will copy (not move) everything to your computer, when you use the computer it will copy to the server.
    Be aware that it may take a lot of time the first sync, depending on how much is on the server....

  • Importing  Iweb website back to  my computer

    My computer crashed and I lost all my website files
    They are on .mac but I would like to get them back on my computer so I can edit them again with Iweb
    This seems to be a problem, one can not import a website from .mac to iweb.
    What do I do now

    I doubt that you will be able to import your site. If you do not have a back up of your domain file the only thing that I know to do is to rebuild from the starting point.
    I know that is no consolation but at this point nobody is going to give you a better answer. Sorry!

  • Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

    Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

    There is no license required for iWeb.  Just do a Wyodor suggested and you'll be ready to go. If you're running Lion however, consider the following:
    In Lion the 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 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 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.

  • My challenge: recovering original iWeb files from 2010-2011 timeframe, which included a blog consisting of original postings from me and comments posted to the web from family and friends. I have the web archive files - but did not move iWeb files then.

    Background:  I started this blog while living overseas and going to sea with the Navy.  Missed the opportunity to move the iWeb files with content attached from the mobile.me server to another server.  Now, I have the original web archive files - good - but not the comments added to them by family and friends - bad.
    My ultimate objective is to create a hard-cover bound book of these files with the comments on the blog ... they document a rather significant experience in my family's life ... to do this, I need to recover the original files with postings.
    Any thoughts or insight would be sincerely appreciated!
    Thanks, cfwnavy

    You have replied to a post that is a month old now and the OP has never replied, so you are probably wasting your time here.
    If you read the OP's post and my reply, you will see that he will not be able to recover his blog and neither will you.
    If your Mac was stolen and you did not back up your iWeb domain.sites files, then you CANNOT get your blog back. 
    If you published your site to a host/server, then you can download it back onto your Mac and you will have to re-build your blog/website from scratch and re-publish, but all your replies and responses to posts will be lost and you can never get these back.
    My advice would be to re-create your blog in another format such as WordPress.com which is free and don't use iWeb again.
    There are plenty of alternatives out there.

  • I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    It is now confirmed  that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
    Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

  • Cannot publish from iweb to iweb website

    Had to format hard drive and re-install OS. Suspect domain file is gone? I can see my website on .mac - but it does not show on iweb. when i publish from iweb, it tells me it's been published, but no changes on .mac - any ideas? help!

    I have the same problem. I tried your advice but still cannot get iweb to publish. Before I had my computer serviced it worked fine and publishing took place automatically.

  • 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.

  • Download My Deleted Site Back Into iWeb from .Mac?

    I accidentally deleted my website from my computer but it's hosted on .Mac, is there a way to download it back into iWeb? That would be too easy....

    If you're managing multiple sites you might consider iWebSites. I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
    If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want. I don't open iWeb directly but always thru iWebSites.
