Can I transfer iWeb site to a DVD?

I have an iWeb site that runs well for my local U3A, it has about 60 pages. Most fit on a standard screen others are longer. Is it possible to transfer the site to a DVD so that in can play unattended on a TV in a room without an internet link. I can't think that it would be possible but someone out there may know better.
One possible alternative may be to transfer the material to a Keynote presentation but could that be transferred to DVD?
Thanks
David

No you can't do that and it would not work either. You can burn the website to the DVD, but it would not do anything because you would either need to burn the iWeb files to the DVD, but they need iWeb to make it visible or you burn the html and css files to the DVD - that is the published site, but you need Safari, Chrome etc., to be able to view. A website is meant to be published to a host and viewed on the internet and not a TV.
If you want to view a Keynote presentation, then you need to connect your computer to the TV or another monitor so you can view it from and control it from the computer.
What you want to do will not work.
If you want people to see an example of your website, then publish your website from iWeb to your desktop and then burn the published version to a DVD and give that to people so that they can play it in their computers and open it with Safari, Chrome etc and can see it - a website is not meant to be seen on a TV or burned to a DVD.

How to transfer iWeb site to another Mac in Lion

Does anyone know how I can move my iWeb site from my Macbook Pro to my iMac. I've transfered the files, but iWeb doesn't see the data. I've copied the data to the iWeb folder in my User Library thinking that would help as I've read others have done in Snow Leopard. This doesn't seem to work in Lion. thanks for the help. I'm using iLife 11

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.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time 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.
Just launch the applicaiton, 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.
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 compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
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.

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.

http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html
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 can i transfer iWeb projects to a different computer?

This may be a simple question, but does anyone know how I can transfer an iWeb project from one computer to another, so that I can work on the site from a different computer than the one that created it?

The same way you transfer all your other documents.

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 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).

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.

Transfer iweb site to another mac

My hard drive broke and now I have a new one installed. I would like to download/manage my iweb-mobileme site from this new hard drive. How can I sync the new disc with my mobileme?

tragicoptimist wrote:

You can't sync your published iWeb site from MobileMe back to a new disk. 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.
See also this Apple doc: _iWeb: Backing up your Domain file_
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 site from old mac to new mac

I was wondering if anyone knows how to transfer my iweb site from my old mac to a new one. I'm still using both computers.
Thank you for your help.

transfer the "domain" file located in your user library/application support/Iweb.
That contains the entire site.
Also one should always maintain a backup of the file. If it's lost your back to square one.

How can I transfer a site that was made in iWeb to a new web design service? Please tell me I don't have to build again from scratch!!

I have a site that I update for a large group of educators. It has years of info and pages and it was all created in iWeb. It's a great site and people rely on it! I found out that iWeb is going away and I need to find a way to keep updating this site asap. Help!!
PS: IMO Apple should be making a web design app that supports the continuation of sites built in iWeb AND has the ability to update them with all the design features that they claim iWeb isn't equipped to handle instead of throwing us all out on the street. If this does exist, and I don't know it, please, someone tell me!

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. Once you've unhidden the library it's a simple matter of copying the domain file from your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on the old Mac to the same folder on the new one. You may have to create an iWeb folder on the new Mac if there is not one.

Can i move iWeb site control from one computer to another?

We hired someone to create a website for our company. He created it using iWeb on his computer and now is no longer with the company. How can I move the control of this website to the iWeb application on my computer so that I can manage the site?

Yes. All you need to do is copy the Domain.sites file that's located in the your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on his Mac to the same folder on your Mac.
Also be sure to keep an ongoing backup copy of that file on a volume other than your Mac, i.e. an external HD, a flash drive, etc. You lose it and you'll have to rebuild the site from scratch.
If you're hosting your website on MobileMe be aware that MMe will be discontinued on June 30th of this year. With that in mind this may be of interest to you: Life After MobileMe.

Can't transfer iweb domain file to laptop

I am trying to move my iweb website from my imac to my macbook. I have burnt the domain file to a disk and tried to open in in iweb on my macbook but it opens a fresh iweb with none of my sites. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong.
I am using iweb v3.0.2 on both my imac and macbook
I have looked in my library folder, as I heard I would need to copy the iweb folder from here, but the iweb folder is not there.
Any advise appreciated

The default location for the domain file is - Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb - but you can put it anywhere. See my post here...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2540081&tstart=0
If you want, create a new folder in Home Folder/Library/Application Support, name it iWeb, drag the domain file into it and then double click the Domain.sites2 to launch iWeb.
After you have launched iWeb by double clicking the domain file, saved and quit for the first time, you will then be able to launch your site from the Dock icon as normal.
