Accessing existing iWeb site via second computer

My iWeb / Mobile me/ website was created and is maintained on my Macbook but I need to now update it from my office iMac machine.
I can find no menu option or path that allows me to access my site from the iWeb application on the iMac - how is this done?

Import existing iWeb site to newer computer with iWeb (iLife) '09

I have a website I developed on my older Mac using iWeb (iLife '06) and I want to transfer it to my current iMac (Snow Leopard + iLife '09) to use the better tools (for FTP uploading of multiple sites)... I transferred the folders from the original site to my "sites" folder but it doesn't show up when I launch iWeb. HELP!

iWeb stores your website data in a domain located in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
Transfer this file to the equivalent location on your new Mac and then launch iWeb.
Your original file will be Domain.sites. iWeb '09 will then convert it to Domain.sites2.
Make sure you have a backup of the domain file before doing any of this.

I am trying to access my iTunes on a second computer, which apparently requires iCloud. After downloading iCloud, I get an error message that says my iTunes ID is correct but that it will not work for iCloud. Help!

When I try to access my iTunes from my second computer, I'm told I need to download iCloud. I did that, and when I sign in to iCloud, and enter my iTunes ID and password as directed, I receive a message saying that it is my correct iTunes ID, but that it is not the ID for iCloud. What do I need to do to access my music from iTunes on my second computer?

Cannot modify iWeb site on different computer

Followed instructions on how to modify iWeb site on a different computer (went into the library->application support->iWeb and copied the "domain" file to the different computer. Opened iWeb = generic site instead of site we created. Double-clicked filename in list = box popped up asking me if I wanted to create a new domain or open an existing one, although it would not let me select the newly copied file from the list (grayed out).
Any solutions?

I haven't a second computer, but I have multiple users on my computer. They are all me, but my mac doesn't know that.
I copied a domain file to another user account.
As the other user, i double-clicked it to open the file, I could publish (to a folder) but I couldn't save the changes.
It simply is a matter of permissions.
Select the domain file in the Finder and type Cmd-I(nfo). In the info panel change the owner of the file.
But that is not enough.
The content of the file still has the previous owner's permission set.
Control-Click/Right-click the domain file and choose 'Show package content'.
Display the opended folder in list view and expand all folders. Do that by typing Cmd-A (Select all) and then press Cmd-rightarrow key to expnad the folders.
Do select all again and repeat expand, until the file count stays the same.
Do select all again and type Cmd-Alt-I(nfo) (Alt is also known as Option).
Change the owner to the current user and select read/write from the menu.
The domain file is now yours.

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!
Blair

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.

Downloading Existing iWeb Site?

Hello All:
I recently bought a new Mac and lost my preferences and settings for the version of iWeb I had on my old Mac.
I have an existing personal website that I developed using iWeb that is hosted on my MobileMe account.
Question: How can I download the code and settings on my existing iWeb-developed site onto my new Mac. My new computer has a copy of iWeb on it. I can't seem to find any information on the iWeb application about doing this.
Thanks!

Mark ~ If by "code and settings" you mean the site itself, you cannot import a published site back into iWeb. Only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. If you still have that file on your old Mac, then you can transfer that to your new Mac.
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.
If you don't have that Domain file on your old Mac, 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:

Importing iWeb site to my computer

Our website was created with iWeb '09 and published to our site via FTP. I need to be able to collaborate and edit the site also. Is it possible to download the site to my computer and import it into my iWeb '09 on my Macbook Pro? Or, is it possible for the original creator of the site to send me the iWeb file for importing to my iWeb? Thanks for any help on this issue.

The original creator should send you the domain file that is, by default, located in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
Make sure the file is given read & write permissions before transfer.
This file can be stored in the default location or a new folder. If the latter, double click the file to launch it in iWeb.

Some visitors unable to access my iWeb site

Need some help please!
I have an iWeb site with a blog that some of my friends are having trouble accessing. I know that the Safari and Firefox users are not having any issues, but the strange part is that SOME of the IE users have trouble, but not all.
I'm using iWeb '09.
If anyone has suggestions, I would really appreciate it.

Website is

Not exactly sure which IE version is being used on those who are having trouble. My guess is that those are slightly older versions based on who is having trouble and their computer usage.
Thanks in advance for any ideas you have.

How can I transfer JUST ONE IWeb site to another computer?

I am new to making IWeb sites and am now making them for
other people. I have about 10 sites in my IWeb folder and need to
be able to give a person's site to them.
I need to be able to transfer JUST ONE site to another computer.
Right now, I am only able to transfer ALL the sites I have made to
another mac and then, it wipes out all their sites! How can I prevent
the ultimate wipe out of all their iweb sites yet give them JUST ONE
of mine?
thank you in advance,
Beth http://www.yourzensite.com

First, read Wyodor's post about changing the publishing settings HERE.
You can create the extra folders in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb or, as I do, in a folder named iWeb in the Home folder.
Create a folder for each website, give it a suitable name and paste the Domain.sites2 file with all the websites into each.
Open each one in turn, double click the Domain.sites2 file to launch it in iWeb, delete all the sites except the one whose name is the same as the folder name, save and quit.
Now you can launch any site individually in iWeb and sent a copy of the appropriate folder to the client.

Move iweb site from one computer to different computer?

I have 2 web sites through iWeb on my macbook pro, one mine and one my daughter's. She made hres while we were on vacation (using my laptop). Now that we are home I'd like to move hers to her iMac computer. Is that something easy? I cannot risk losing my site. I suspect there are a million hidden files that will prevent me from doing this?
thanks

What is in the folder within my iDisk->Web->Sites? Is this back-up of my folder you originally directed me to?
NO!! Your iWeb site is not backed up on your iDisk, what you are looking at here is your website, once published by iWeb.
As with all other data, you should backup the iWeb domain file as part of your regular backup schedule.
Unless it has been changed, the .mac backup does not automatically backup your domain file.

IWeb site from second Mac

I have been messing about building another IWeb site on my old G4. If I rename the domain can I just transfer the second domain onto my iMac and run both sites from there. If so how will I be able to open them individually
Mike

Mike:
First, if you want to manage the sites from two computers without having to move the domain file(s) manually back and forth between Macs every time you make a change see Toad's Tutorial #20- Managing an iWeb Site From Two or More Macs with Dropbox-.
As long as you down try to work on the site from both computers at the same time (those with split or multiple personalities ) there's no problem.
Now for publishing each individually I use iWebSites to manage over 40 individual 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 original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process and move it to another location on your HD until you're satisfied the separation process is completed and what you want.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

Help! How do I edit existing iWeb pages from new computer?

I'm up a creek. I have a ton of pages published through iWeb using my desktop iMac G4. Recently the hard drive died. Eventually I'll have the hard drive replaced and files extracted, but in the meantime I don't know how to access my iWeb pages. I'm using my husband's iBook G4 now.
I didn't publish to folders, I just published right to our .mac account.
Thanks!

Your iWeb data is stored, not in your actual html files, but in a file called Domain.sites which is stored in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. You should backup this file whenever you make big changes to your site, because if it gets lost or damaged, you will have to start all over. Sounds like this might be the case for you.
For your future reference, I have an Automator app on my site that will help you backup your Domain file(s). http://iweb.aardvarkland.com
