Can't import site into iWeb

I just updated one of my machines to Mountain Lion as a clean install, and i installed iWeb because that's what I created my website in. I had copied the saved file (Domain.sites2) from my other computer, and tried to open it in the ML iWeb, but it won't open like it does on my 10.6 machine. What's going on? I hardly use the 10.6 machine anymore, and will be using this one more, so i need tog et this to work. Thanks

Try this:
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.

  • How can I import my iweb site into iweb on my new laptop?

    I recently got a new MacBook Pro and transferred my files over from my PBG4 12-inch (great little laptop). However my iWeb files/site didn't seem to transfer over to my laptop. I found the files of on my PBG4, and thought I placed them in the correct folder on my one.
    Every time I open iWeb it asks to start a new site. How can I import my old iweb site into it and continue with it? Is there a way of doing it? I've a read a few posts some talk about the file 'Domain' in the Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.
    If I copy that file over to my new MacBook Pro, will my site be in iWeb again? I greatly appreciate some advice. Thanks.
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Isotopecrunch,
    Welcome to the iWeb forums!
    You are correct about referring to the Domain file; this is the file that contains all of your work created in iWeb, and the file that needs to be transferred to your new MacBook. There are some notes on how to do this here.
    Take the time also to make back up copies of this file, and keep them in a safe place.

  • Can I import a non-iWeb website into iWeb?

    How can I import a non-iWeb website into iWeb so that I can use iWeb to edit the site?

    You can't: iWeb cannot import html files, and relies entirely on its own 'Domain' file which lives by default in your User Library. You would have to recreate the site from scratch, using the original as a guide and a source for images and text; or use an HTML editor.
    Depending on how complicated the site is you may be able to do this in Kompozer, which is free. It is a WYSIWYG web page created which also gives you access to the code, and which can open any HTML page (though if the page is heavily dependent on external CSS you may have difficulties with it).

  • Downloading FTP site into iWeb

    I have an FTP website which was written and uploaded some time ago from a Windows PC. I would now like to be able to edit the site from my home iMac.
    So far I have been unable to download the files from the site into iWeb.
    Can anyone please tell me how to download the files from my old FTP site into iWeb?

    iWeb cannot import webpages.
    If you want these pages in iWeb, add a new page and then copy/paste the content from your current webpage(s).
    Nice detail, if you copy text, do paste in iWeb. No need for adding a textbox first. The text will retain it's formatting.
    Images you simply drag from your webpage to the page in iWeb.

  • Importing eBlogger into iWeb Blog...

    Good Afternoon,
    Is it possible to import previous blogs from eBlogger into a blog made with iWeb? Would like to keep what I've done previously, but, from what I can tell, this may not be a viable option.
    Would love your input on this...can it be done? Is it worth it?
    Thanks...

    No, you can't incorporate anything into iWeb as it has no import facility.
    The best you can do is display your eblogger blog in iWeb using iframe code - place the code into an html snippet and people can scroll the site within your iWeb site.
    Other than that, there is nothing that can be incorporated into iWeb.

  • I can not import photos into lightroom 4.4  Had no problem before this time.

    I can not import photos into lightroom 4.4  Had no problem before this time.  I have camera raw7.4 and use a NikonD7100.  I have a Mac using 10.6.8.  I can see the images and selected for import in Lightroom, but after I check "import" I get a message that Lightroom could not read the files.  This happens with both raw and jpeg files.  Thanks for a repl

    thanks for the reply. would you please tell me how to check for the folder to have write permission.  I have done the same settings as before but this time does not transfer.  It says can not read files with a code "298".  I can see the thumbnails on the screen prior to trying to import the photos, also can see them with the card in the camera and using the view mode.  I have up to date camera raw 7.4 for my Nikon D7100 and the settings allow for 7.1 and above

    Possibly. Media Go supports a variety of music formats, some of which can be imported in to iTunes and then synced on to an iPhone, however some of its formats cannot be imported in to iTunes.
    See http://mediago.sony.com/enu/supported-file-formats/ for a list of formats supported by Media Go. iTunes for Windows supports MP3, AAC, WAV, and can import and convert WMA files as well. However iTunes does not support ATRAC, or FLAC.
    Furthermore, if some of your music has been bought from an Internet music store it might be procted by DRM. If so it cannot be imported in to iTunes.
    To do the importing you would either drag the music files in to iTunes, or tell iTunes to open them. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1347

  • I took a 15 minute video clip on my phone and now I can't import it into iphoto.  I've been able to import clips to iphoto in the past.  How do I fix this?  How can I get it imported onto my MacBook and ultimately iMovie?

    Maybe try one of the WiFi transfer Apps?  There are several to choose from. I use Photosynch quite often to send photos and videos between my computer(s), my iPhone, and iPad.

    sued,
    It is known that there are CS4/Yosemite issues.
    For your issue, you may try to save your TIFF as a Photoshop .eps file and import that.
    Or a rollback to Mavericks.

  • How import folder into iweb

    As I posted, my iweb project is missing - it is no longer listed in the index when I open the program.
    I have the site saved in a desktop folder - how do I import the folder into iweb so i can load the porject again?
    Thanks,
    Diana.

    Occasionally iWeb will open and you won't be able to see anything in it, not the websites you've built nor any of the menu items.  If you're experiencing that try the following:
    1 - open iPhoto.
    2 - select a couple of photos.
    3 - use the Share ➙ iWeb ➙ Photo Page menu.
    It might take a couple of tries.
    Happy New Year

  • Desktop & Laptop:  Published from Laptop, can't see site on iWeb Laptop

    Can you all please help or clarify? I have a laptop and a desktop. I published my site from my laptop from iWeb. But, when I login to iWeb from my desktop, I can't see the site in the sidebar.
    How do I correct this?
    As a note, I used to have a personal domain on my desktop publishing to iWeb which I've removed, but the old site is all I see.
    Thanks so much in advance!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you trying to visit the pubished site with the desktop or edit the site?
    If you want to work on the site with your desktop computer you'll need to copy the Domain.sites2 file from the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on the laptop to the same folder on the desktop. Then open iWeb on the desktop.
    If you only want to visit the published site from the desktop you'll need to enter the URL for the site into the desktop's browser window. It would be http://web.me.com/NanaCarol/
    If you plan on using both computers to edit and publish the site you'll need to have a way of moving that one Domain.sites2 file back and forth between the two computers. And always have a backup of it.

  • Bring back iWeb site into iWeb

    Someone deleted my iWeb project file (Domain) and I am wondering if I can bring back the version I have on my .Mac server (my on-line site) and be able to build on it in iWeb again, rather than starting it from scratch. thanks

    No, it is not possible to bring the published iWeb files back into iWeb. However the content of your site (images, text, videos, etc.) is here:
    Finder > Go > iDisk > My iDisk > (wait) > Web > Sites > ...
    So you could copy the folders containing your content from your iDisk to your Desktop and start to rebuild your website in iWeb.
