Can I recover iWeb sites after a complete HD crash?

Ok, here´s my case.
Last Sunday my MacBook died. Trust me. It died. No one could save the information and the hard drive had to be formatted. And there was the Murphy´s Law factor. I was preparing my files to back up and then, CRASH! After 3 days at a specialized service center it had to be formatted, no information could be saved and when I turned my MacBook on and installed the system, again, it was like the first time I ever used it, like it was just out of the box. No applications, no files, no photos, no music, nothing.
When I configured my .mac email in Mail, I had all my information there. Inbox messages, sent messages etc. The same with my Address Book contacts and iCal calendars. I expected that in iWeb, it´d be the same. That I could see the entire site to be modified, just like it happened with Mail and the other applications I mentioned. But when I opened iWeb it was blank, like it was the very first time I ever used it.
Is there some way to recover my iWeb files? When you lose a website information, you can recover all your files stored in the server via FTP. Is there a similar way with Apple servers and iWeb pages? I´m worried because I have LOTS of information in my webpage and I´m afraid to lose it if I publish something new because it´s all blank in iWeb. Do I have to re-create the entire site?
Any help is appreciated.
Greetings from Mexico City.

Actually my boss had that idea. There´s a folder in my iDisk named iWeb and I had noticed before that all my webpage´s files were there. Every time you click publish in iWeb, all your files are uploaded to that folder.
As I said before. With Dreamweaver, if you reinstall you can set up again all your access and you can recover your files via FTP and keep working with them. If I downloaded the files contained in my iWeb folder in my iDisk, and put them in my iWeb library, would that work? Would it be the same as the example I´m saying? Could I work using my existing webpage files?
I´m at work now and there´s no iWeb in this computer so I have no idea if it´d work fine. Any ideas?
I mean, there has to be a way.
I´ll give it a try at home as soon as I can and I´ll keep you all informed.
Thanx everybody!

Can't recover my system after a hard drive crash.

Hello
My hp DV6-3123tx's hard drive crashed because of a collision
Steps i did:
Got a new hard drive and fit it in.
Using recovery DVDs tried to format it.
Everything was good but when the system reboots to install drivers it just gets stuck at the starting page (on which hp is written). I waited for hours together but it doesn't recover from that state
P.S: I had removed CMOS too after my hard drive crashed but restored and saved it's default settings in BIOS before the above mentioned steps.
This question was solved.

Hi,
Assuming this is just a problem with the recovery media, here's an alternative option you could try.
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
You can create an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the exact same version that originally came with your notebook ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

Does anybody know if we can publish an iWeb site in iCloud?

I was a member of MobileMe but since it was announced that it will be discontinued I didn't renew my subscription.
So, my question is if, I can publish my iweb site to iCloud?
Please advise.

What happens to the iWeb sites that I’ve published to MobileMe?
You can continue publishing iWeb sites to MobileMe through June 30, 2012, even after moving to iCloud. With iWeb you can easily move a site published to MobileMe to another web hosting service and you should do so before that date. Please read this article for details.

How do I retrieve my music library after a complete computer crash. I have a backup on a flash drive and I can access my Itunes account but my play lists and music are gone.

How do you retrieve downloaded music and playlists after a complete computer crash. I can log into my Itunes account and make purchases but my music library is gone. I have an external backup on a flash drive but for some reason the music does not show up there either. It's like I have a brand new account and have to start all over. Itunes must have an archive I can access to get my music back, right?

Playlists should be part of your backup copy.
You can redownload some purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How can i recover my voicemails after updating my iPhone?

How can i recover my voicemails after updating my iPhone?

When one restores an iPhone from its own backup, visual voicemail is also restored. However, when one restores a new iPhone from a backup from a previous phone, the voicemails fail to restore. This occurred between my 3G to 4s, and again from the 4s to a 5s. Restoring the 4s once from its own backup resulted in voicemail recovery.
My only explanation is that when a different SIM card is used, voicemails cannot restore as one would otherwise expect. Perhaps voicemails are inexplicably tied to their SIMs. Unfortunately, newer models of iPhones tend to use exceedingly different sizes, rendering one possible fix unpursuable. iBackupBot is the other possible solution: you can extract the voicemails from the backup and restore them onto the new iPhone individually.

I can not open different sites after installing itunes. Why?

I can not open different sites after installing itunes. I can`t open google.com or youtube.com. Why?

Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff: What version of iPhoto. What version of the Operating System. Details. What were you doing when the problem arose? Did it ever work properly? Step-by-step descriptions of how you got to this issue. If something doesn't work, are there error messages? What happens when you try to do this thing? And what steps have you tried already to solve the issue. With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that a helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

Library recovery: how can I recover a library after I get this message: There was an error opening the database for the library "/Users/Jim/Pictures/Libraries/K2 Library.aplibrary"???

Thanks a lot, Frank. The lsregister did the trick! I am testing this on 10.8.2.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24770 : I deleted the "com.apple.LaunchServices.plist", and restarted the Finder, even logged off and on again; did not change anything. The file has not been recreated, so it may not be used anymore.
http://itpixie.com/2011/05/fix-duplicate-old-items-open-with-list/#.ULZqa6XAoqY
The direct "copy and paste" from the post did not work: I had to retype it :
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
but then it worked like a charm!
Cheers
Léonie
And btw: I turned on the "-v" option for the lsregister to see, what was going on, and saw plenty of error messages (error -10811); so I repeated the command with "sudo". After that I still saw five iPhotos. Repeating as regular user finally got rid of the redundant iPhoto entries. It looks like registering as super user may be causing this trouble.

Can I import my iweb sites after re-installing ilife08

I'm sweating a bit here.
I've just installed leopard, and have refreshed my hard drive (ie deleted it all)
I back up all my sites that I created in iweb, then re-installed ilife 08.
I can't retrieve my sites that I created into iweb.
am I screwed?

Hi there,
it depends on what you made a backup of...
Did you backup the Domain file?
User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2
If so you would just need to double click it...
If you didn't backup this file but did a backup of html pages then you will have to rebuild the site by copy and paste...

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.

How can I publish iWeb site in root directory in place of a prior site?

Hi there... I have created a family web site and published it to my .mac account. The problem is that I had previously published another site and that site remains in the 'root' directory of my account. Practically, this means that if anyone types in:
web.mac.com/[username]
... they will get my old site instead of the site i wish them to see... Is there any way I can move my new site so that typing the more simplified 'root' address (above) will bring up the site I wish for them to view?

Do you have both sites in iWeb together? If so, then simply look in the Site Organizer, select the site that you want to come up by the short URL and drag it to the top of the organizer. iWeb will make whatever site is at the top of the Site Organizer the default site. You should probably do a "Publish ALL to .Mac" after doing this so that all the files are in the right place. So once you do this you can access the default site with the short URL http://web.mac.com/yourname and then you can access the second site by using its URL directly... http://web.mac.com/yourname/iWeb/sitetwoname You could also provide links from site one to site two and vice versa to "link" the two sites together.

Can I just delete the Iweb Seo Tool and get rid of any metatags, google analytics and everything else? and have my old website back?

iWeb SEO Tool can modify your site after you've published to MobileMe. It will do it on the MMe server. Takes longer but you can avoid having to publish to a folder and then uploading from there. Also the latest version, 1.7.2, is supposed to work with blog pages according to the developer: http://www.ragesw.com/products/iweb-seo-tool.html

Can I publish iWeb sites and Gallery albums in one place?

My Gallery has 66 personal photo albums of simple events (each photo with a caption). Using iWeb, I also have created a multi-page personal website of photos for each of 16 complex events (each site has a welcome page followed by 3-5 photo pages, and all pages have a few sentences of introduction). Now that my beloved Apple has spurned me, I'm hoping to get even, sort of, and post everything--all my photo albums and all my photo websites--in one place. This requires more complexity than I've seen in hunting among suggested replacments for iWeb or Gallery.
In my drooling ignorance, I can imagine a website that has a few levels. On one level are key photos for all gallery albums PLUS key photos for all websites. A user clicks on the main photo of an album or website, and it opens either an album's photos (the current gallery way) or a site's welcome page.
As best I can tell, I want too much. As promising as a site like Zangzing appears, it and others are limited to a single level of photos or to some six interior pages.
Level one shows the key photo for each gallery album AND a key , and has a grand welcome page with linkClick on an album photo and it opens all the album's photos. Click on a website photo, and it opens to s that read, say, "Albums 2000-2005," "Albums 2006-2012," "Websites 2000-2005," Websites 2006-2012." At the next level, each album and each website appears . A Even better would be page links that intersperse albums and websites in chronological order. A user click on the main photo of an album or website and it opens either
lists albums in, say, five-year clusters an for --, perhaps one page for lots of links, maybe albums by years and websites by years.
albums top-level row of albums (like Gallery) with the websites peppered among them. Click on a website photo

PLEASE IGNORE ANY EARLIER VERSION. IT'S A DRAFT OF THE FOLLOWING QUESTION . . .
My Gallery has 66 personal photo albums of simple events (each photo has a caption). Using iWeb, I also have created 16 personal websites of photos of complex events (each site has a welcome page followed by 3-5 photo pages, and all pages have a few sentences of introduction). Now that my beloved Apple has spurned me, I'm hoping to get even, sort of, and post everything--all my photo albums and all my photo websites--in one place. This requires more complexity than I've seen in hunting among suggested replacements for Gallery or iWeb.
In my drooling ignorance, I can imagine a master website that has a few levels. On one level are key photos for all gallery albums PLUS key photos for all websites. When a user clicks on the key photo of an album or website, it opens either an album's photos (the current Gallery way) or a site's welcome page.
As best I can tell, I want too much. As promising as a site like ZangZing seems, it and others seem limited to a single level of photos or to some six interior pages (far fewer than my 16 iWeb sites). Maybe I could create a grand entrance page that has links that read, say, "Albums 2000-2005," "Albums 2006-2012," "Websites 2000-2005," Websites 2006-2012." But then I'd be burying the albums and sites themselves at lower levels.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can't Recover using RnR after installing Windows 7 SP1

After I install Windows 7 SP1 on Lenovo T61 machine (64-bit), I can't recover using RnR 4.3 as it seems that RnR doesn't perform anything when I chick Restore on RnR while Windows is running or when I click ThinkVantage button while the computer is starting.
Steps the issue is found
1. Clean install Windows 7 Professional x64
2. Install Lenovo drivers & softwares including RnR 4.3
3. Install Windows 7 SP1
4. Perform a backup using RnR
5. Do something (e.g. installing a program) when perform a restoration using RnR
What should I do to resolve this issue? Thanks very much.

The firmware restore cd doesn't start, boot or anything visible on the screen, it just loads it behind the scenes, does the flashy or beepy thing.
Reboot twice and see if the at boot key commands work again using the OS X install disk, option key or command r or command option r while booting. (you never mentioned what OS X version or machine your using)
It's possible a recent firmware update occurred (software update or AppStore) and bricked your EFI, the version you get from the website download is older because they don't release it there until it's been tested in the field like on people like you.
If a newer firmware is on the machine already and it's borked, the older one your using won't load, only newer versions are accepted by the hardware.
If this is the case, your only choice is to have the logicboard replaced, I hope you have AppleCare.
You also could have made a mistake and downloaded the wrong one, so it's refusing to apply it.
Need machine/operating system identification help?
Find the serial number, thus the model number and thus gives the operating system that originally came with the machine. However gives not what operating system version the boot drive was later upgraded to. Do not use older OS X verisons to repair newer verisons. It is possible to use the original operating system version installed on another boot drive to recover files from a later operating system non-booting drive.
