Can't find Domain Suddenly

Up until today I have had few problems with iWeb. Recently I got a new computer. This upgraded me to iWeb 08. I still could use iWeb and post updates to my blog without difficulty. Today, all of a sudden, I open iWeb and it says, "iWeb needs a Domain file to continue..." I go to my domain (user/lib/app support/iWeb/domain) but it is greyed out and won't let me select it. Any advice?

Do a spotlight search for Domain.sites2. If you only get the new one or none try usingFind File. It will search in places Spotlight can't.
If you don't find it and don't have a backup you'll have to rebuild the site from scratch. Chapter 2.3 of this iWeb FAQ site has tips on using some of the published files in the reconstruction of the site.

Trying to transfer, can't find domain.sites file

I'm using iWeb '08 and have read some of the forums about how to transfer sites. Trying to design a site for my sister. I've read some of the other questions on this topic and people say to transfter domain.sites or domain.sites2 file. I can't find either. Someone explained it was in the library/application support/iweb folder. Well that folder doesn't even exist on my computer. Any help is appreciated.

Make sure you're looking in the right Library folder. It's the one in your home directory, not at the root level of the boot drive: User/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
It's the folder that looks like this in the icon mode:

Help!!! can't find domain file

I wanted to update to iweb 08, but can't find the domain file, it's just anywhere!! Iweb works fine and I can save anything, because of that I think the domain file should be somewhere, shouldn't it? How can I find it if spotlight doesn't? Ist there a way to find out where iweb ist saving the changes?
Thankfull for any help.

OK - found the answer guys! You need to locate your USERS folder then navigate to the Library/Application Support/iWeb to find the domain file.
Here's a help site I ran across that helped with the answer...

Can't find domain file, Can't find domain file

I am running OS 10.6.8 with iWeb 3.0.4 (601)
I've been using iweb and backing up my domain file (library - application support...etc) without a problem but I can't seem to find that file anymore.
My website is there working and uploading no problem, but I've been searching and searching and can't find the domain file.
I do use time machine for backups, I do manual back up to time capsule as a "better safe than sorry" attitude, I am not sure if the time machine hidden my file somewhere different... ?
Does anyone have an idea where did my file go? Or can someone tell me how do I restore my file using time machine?
I don't want to erase my drive and upgrade my OS to Lion before I am sure I can restore my iweb. I would hate to lose my website
Thanks!

Download and use Find Any File to search for the domain file. It can search areas that Spotlight, even packages and invisible folders.

Can't find domain file, or load published site

I have a site published to mobile me - sitename- and i later made some changes that i didnt want to push live to mobile me, so i published to a local folder and changed the name to sitename_alt. I closed iweb and wanted to load the site that is live, but i don't see any file open command or how to load the mobileme published site.
I found my domain file but when i click it, it opens the sitename_alt site, yet the mobile me site is still on live on mobile me ! I take it there is no "save as" scheme like on every other application in OSX ? Have i lost my ability to work on my sitename mobile me live site ?

Publishing your site to a local folder on your desktop is not saving it - this is html and iWeb can do nothing with this as it has no import facility.
The only way to update sites is via your domain.sites file found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
If you don't have this file then you will have to re-build your site from scratch.

Hello Wyodor,
thanks for your reply on my question.
You are wright the index file is 308 KB.
And offcourse that I delete my files and documents is not an Iweb problem, but because my English is not that good, that I thougt I try to tell the whole story, and hope people can read trough the lines.
Why I didn't use Iweb to upload to the server is because the server company recommanded to use file zilla. And I am a nobody with this kind of things, so I did exactly what they tell me to do.
No, i did not make a backup of Iweb and the domain file, but reading other messages on this forum showed me that I can maybe try to make empty the cashfile (?)
and otherwise I have bad luck and have to make my website again. Offcourse I have a lot of examples from all the pages (copied from the local map to my USB stick) and my website is aprox. 15 Mb, (not so big) so it will cost me a few nigths.
But I'm still hoping on a miracle :-)
greetings Lasource

I was backing up my iPhone and importing photos onto iPhoto at the same time , then suddenly it says no more space available (i had 48GB before i do this and now i have 18GB) i can't find the back up or the photo anywhere , how can i delete them ?

Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown asBackups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Reboot and it should go away.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

I need these photos, to complete the video, not to mention I don't want to lose them. I have had trouble ever since upgrading to Maverick.

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

How can I find iweb domain files?

Hi everyone. I'm in a bit of a state! I built a fairlybig website with iweb 1 - http://www.lakesweddingmusic.com - on my old Macbook (10.4.11) which died a few months ago. I now have a Macbook Pro(10.8.2) and have imported iweb 3.0.2 (I think that's the version) from an iLife '11 disc, along with iDVD. I tried the newly imported iweb 3 and it worked well. However, my mistake was to test it out: I opened a new file from a template and called it 'blank'. Now I want to get rid of this test file and load up my already created website -lakesweddingmusic.com. However, now that I've traced my old Domain files on my old Mac's hardrive, which fortunately, was left intact after the rest of the computer died, I can't get rid of this test file I created. My problem is I can't find the new domain file that I created in order to test out iWeb 3. If I delete the file in iWeb, iWeb won't close and neither will the mac Pro close, unless I do a 'start button shut down', which seems to be the only way to close iWeb when there are no files in it. Then , when I reboot and open iweb, up comes the test file which I deleted! So it's got to be somewhere on my new Mac. I've searched Users/Me/Library/Application Support - but the only iweb folder there is the one I created which houses the Domain file which I copied from my old Macbook hard drive! I've tried searching for 'domain' but only get the file with my website on it. I simp[ly cannot find or get rid of this new file. Any suggestions as to where it might be hiding would be most welcome.

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.

Can't find airplay icon all of the sudden

Apple TV mirroring suddenly stopped working. I have two iPod touches, one iPad and Apple TV. All the latest generations. I have been using airplay with no problem and now for some reason I can't find the airplay icon on any device. I have restarted, reset everything and unplugged the Internet connection. Apple TV can communicate with the iTunes but is not recognizing home sharing with my computer either...

Hi Haley
Has anything changed in your set upor have you got a new household appliance that could be interfereing with the mirror signal.
Also when you rebooted everything did that include the router and did you take all cables from ATV for 30 seconds?

Sudden error I can't find and StageWebView (AIR for iOS)

Hey all,
In my app I allow a user to download files from a list and then typically use StageWebViews to display them (videos mostly). Recently my app started to misbehave.
I'm using Flash Builder 4.6 with AIR 3.2 on Win7 Pro 64.
I test on-device. I choose fast export (quick packaging) and debug right from Flash Builder so I can see traces/errors/etc from the iPad.
After downloading a ~40MB MP4, I save it to the applicationStorageDirectory (and mark it 'do not back up'). I then wait 3 seconds just to be sure the write has a few seconds to complete. Then I black out the screen with a black sprite, stick a close button on the screen and load the video into a new StageWebView.
The problem is the first time these larger 40MB videos are saved and attempted, TONS of code isn't firing off or affecting the display. The video plays just fine, centered on the screen. However all the code to remove tons of things from memory during video playback which has tons of trace statements sprinkled in is simply not affecting the iPads display. This ONLY happens on iPad1 (OS 5.1). iPad2 and iPad3 work just fine.
I presumed I was being too aggressive with the iPad1 and added more and more time between downloading, saving and setting the bit on the file so the iPad1 wasn't innundated with doing to much at once. I can add 25 minutes worth of setTimeout between playing this video for the first time and it will fail every time though. So it's not being innundated.
If the video is already downloaded and a user selects it, it works perfectly fine. All views/classes are disposing properly to free up as much ram as possible for the video playback.
Now, I'm getting this error randomly:
Error #2044: Unhandled ErrorEvent:. text=Plug-in handled load
I can't find where this is coming from. Has anyone seen this before? I don't know if it has anything to do with what I'm seeing fail here. I doubt it because I get it a very short time (few seconds) after the video starts playing back. I only get this video the first time a file is downloaded and played but then never again.
I have an UncaughtErrorEvent that isn't even catching this. Everything to do with the class that displays the video has try {} catch() {} blocks over every line of code. So doesn't the small file downloader class. Nothing is throwing an ErrorEvent.
Is there any easy way to find where this error is being generated? Something I might not know about the Flash Builder Debugger? Other errors show up and tell me where they occured, but this brand new error does not cause the app to fail and the debugger doesn't even flinch at it.
On the first part, has anyone recently seen their apps exhibit something like this? I have a list of files that I destroy before I show the video and it continues to exist even though I literally trace() all over the code that should destroy it and I see the traces. Everything is nulled. Objects no longer exist. The background isn't visible that I'm tracing as I build and it exists on the display list. It's very odd.
It'd just like suddenly StageWebView has an issue loading a freshly downloaded and saved file. It nukes the display list, nothing I do to it matters. But if the file already exists it all works fine.

Yes I use ie.jampot.nativeExtensions.MobileBackup. Worked perfectly fine before and continues to return a true Boolean value for success and Apple has never rejected the app. They initially did because I did not set the backup bit. I presume that means it's working just fine.
This app crashes after that code happens, during trying to load the content into a SWV. But hey, why not, I'll disable that and we'll see what happens. I'll report back. I get no errors at all when the app crashes (when I fast build for debugging and test on device). No errors at all. It just crashes. That's.. not good.
edit:
Nope sorry, didn't change a thing. The second time I use URLLoader after properly disposing of it each time it fails on any large files and the app crashes with no info back to Flash Builder. Even with MobileBackup disabled completely. Sucks.. Flash Builder profiler is showing me the reference counts on objects and I can see I'm cleanly disposing of everything properly.Something won't leave memory even though all reference counts are 0. This does NOT happen on iPad2 or iPad3, just iPad1 past OS 5.1. Ugh...
re-edit:
After profiling like crazy, tracing like crazy, crossing all my T's and dotting my....... lowercase j's...... I can only conclude there is now an intolerance for MP4s being played in a StageWebView of a certain filesize. YMMV but just making a quick demo app, downloading a 44MB MP4 and playing it works fine the first time. I then dispose of everything and verify it in profiler. I even run garbage collection manually on the profiler and it still curiously has a lot more memory in use than what it had at app launch. All instance (reference) counts are 0. Curiously memory is still pretty close to the same amount as the video I just played regardless that I disposed of the SWV instance completely. It's like the dispose isn't working. My method of dereffing the class level private variable is:
_swv.stage = null;
_swv.viewPort = null;
_swv.dispose();
_swv = null;
This doesn't seem to release the memory as fast as I'd like to see. Perhaps there's something lingering but that should properly dispose of that SWV instance.
Upon downloading the second video, the very second it's finished downloading (via binary mode URLLoader) the app crashes. It doesn't even fire off a complete event or error in any way, the app literally just quits. Perhaps the previous 40MB video is somehow still lingering and once I have that 44MB video in mem and try to load a different 40MB video it's 40+44=84MB ram trying to be allocated. I can't see why because as above, I'm disposing of the SWV. Reference counts of _swv is 0 after the first video is played and closed.
Really strange but be careful, something new is going on here. It used to work perfectly fine. It appears to be an issue since 5.1. Perhaps Apple caching the SWVs contents when it's not desirable to do so. I may have to go back and use StageVideo and draw up my own video controls. I only use SWV because both it comes with nice controls and a fullscreen built in that runs very smoothly. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.. Well.. it's broken.
I have verified that 20MB videos download and work fine. 40MB is giving me issues. Not sure where the line is here.

Hi. I have updated my computer to Windows 8.1 and now suddenly my Apple TV can not find it. It says that home sharing is not on, but it is. This was working perfect beofre the upgrade.

Hi. I have updated my computer to Windows 8.1 and now suddenly my Apple TV can not find the computer, it says "turn on the home sharing". Both of these are on, iTunes and Apple TV, what to do? It was working perfect before update.

Make sure the firewall and wifi router is not blocking it you can likely see if its the wifi router by connecting by etherent cable that would mean itsopen in terms of ports

Can't Find New Domain File

I am in the process of building a new website in iWeb '09 for the first time since upgrading to Lion but can't find the domain file I'm working on so as to make a backup. I have run the script that makes the Library folder visible, since Lion hides this folder, but the Application Support folder in Library doesn't contain a folder for iWeb. I have searched and searched for domains and .site files with no luck. Fortunately, I can open the new site in iWeb and update and publish, but I have no idea where it is finding the domain file that it is opening. As you can imagine, I'm very uneasy about not being able to back up the site as I invest more work into it.
I have two other iWeb sites that were created prior to the Lion upgrade. Each is in a separate account on my iMac. I had moved the domain files for these sites out of the Library/Application Support/iWeb folders to more easily accessible folders prior to the Lion upgrade, so they are fine.
It's the new site that is causing me concern.
Interestingly, when I move one of the old domains to a new account on my iMac as a test, when I double click on it, iWeb launches but wants me to create a new website rather than opening the site associated with the old domain file.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Use the freeware app Find File to track down the Domain - or Domain.sites2 - file...
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file
See this page for info about opening Domain files using Lion and Mountain Lion...
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file
Also note that you don't have to run a script to show the user Library. Just open the Finder Go menu while holding down the option key.
On the same page you will find a link to the freeware Mountain Tweaks which will hide/show the library plus a lot of other exciting tweaks.
