Can't open existing iweb project

hey guys
i can't open the project that i've already done using iweb, when i open, iweb asks me to choose a new theme for creating a new project

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. If you want to work on your site on another computer, copy this file to a thumb drive to move it around.
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. Sadly, many many people learn this the hard way.
I have an Automator app on my site that will help you backup your Domain file(s). Click here to download it or visit http://iweb.varkgirl.com for more info. The app will make a .zip file of your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and save it to a location of your choosing.
Then check out Mozy for an online place to store your backups - I just found this and it seems great. They just recently released a Mac friendly version of their app - it automates the upload and encryption. You select the files you want to backup and it does the rest. You can set it to upload automatically after so many minutes of inactivity or once a day. It does it all in the background so you don't have to worry about it! 2GB of storage are free - plenty of room for most people's iWeb Domain.sites backups!

IMovie 7.1.1 and 10.5.3 - can't open existing or create new projects

Is anyone experiencing the same problems as me since upgrading?
I saved an iMovie project yesterday evening but today (following updating to 10.5.3) when I open iMovie all the options under File (except for Import from Camera) are grayed out - I can't open yesterday's project or create new ones.
I've restarted, etc. Any help would be appreciated as I'm under some serious time constraints.

Not much help I know but I've not had any issues after the X.5.3 update. Have you repaired permissions after your update. I repaired permissions and carried out several other maintenance routines immediately before performing the update and then repaired permissions again after the update.

I't not iWeb that got damaged but the domain file. The index.xml file is inside the domain.sites file that's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Do you have a backup of that file you can revert to? If so then do it. Otherwise a long shot but try the following:
close iWeb.
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

Opening 2 iWeb projects simultaneously?

Hi. I want to open 2 iWeb projects simultaneously ... to transfer pages back and forth.
I don't want to have 2 projects simultaneously in the SAME iWeb project.
I have 2 copies of the iWeb app. installed on my computer. I've done this before. I can't remember how to open the two app's simultaneously, with a different project in each.
Can anyone remind me?
All ears,
Ben

Thank you Wyodor,
Writing script always makes me nervous. Ultimately, what worked was: I have two versions of the iWeb installed, one in a sub-folder. I open the one I use of individual projects (by double-clicking the domain.sites2 file). Then I go to my other site, xxx.sites2 and right click and 'open with' and go searching for the SECOND version of the iWeb app. And this works. I've got two separate iWeb apps open simultaneously with two separate projects.
Much appreciated, thank you ...
Ben

I can not open my iMovie project

I can not open my iMovie project. Everytime I click on it, the spinning wheel keeps spinning and spinning until I force quite the iMovie. Please help?

OK Let's take a step back.
If you imported video clips from a camcorder there would be an Events folder in the Movies/iMovie Events/ folder.
You have the option as you import from a camcorder to send your Event to an external drive instead. In this case, it would be in the iMovie Events folder at the top level of the external drive.
If your project has no video clips, but only photos, there may be no events folder, only links to iPhoto.
Similarly, if your camera imported your video clips to iPhoto, and you used the iPhoto event in iMovie, then your clips are in iPhoto, and there is no separate iMovie event.

Can't open existing/create new files after reinstall

I had the trial version installed to test the software and everything was running fine until I started having some issues with my computer. So I ended up reinstalling the trial version and now I can't open existing XLF files or create new ones. Both the "new" and "open" icons are now grayed out.

Hi,
Issuess if Opne and new are grayed out..
Make sure you take a fresh copy of Xcelisu and reinstall the entire application again.
If any other issuess please let me know i am happy to help you...

Can I open an imovie project from an external hard drive on a different computer than my own? If so how?

Can I open an imovie project from an external hard drive on a different computer other than my own? If so how?

If you used the Finder to move the files, iMovie will have lost track of them. iMovie holds the locations of the Event files, and Project files contain references to those locations. If you move the files, iMovie has no way of knowing where they are.
If you can, first move all the files back to their original locations. Plug in the external drive. Open iMovie and move the files in iMovie's interface (help explains how, but basically, just drag and drop in the event pane).
Then you can connect the drive to the new computer, and iMovie will see them.

Did this just happen after upgrading to 10.9?
Try using Preference Manager by Digital Rebellion (it's free) to delete your preference files for Soundtrack.

How can I launch a site that I designed for a client using their MobileMe account? Can they 'open' my iWeb files on their iWeb software?

How can I launch a site that I designed for a client using their MobileMe account? Can they 'open' my iWeb files on their iWeb software?

If you give them the Domain.sites2 file that iWeb used to create the site they will be able to open it with iWeb application (it has to be the same version as you have) and make changes. But if you're expected to also make changes you'll need a way to send that file back and forth between the two.
Also there's an online MacWorld article that describes a way that both of you could manage the site using Dropbox. Look at Managing an iWeb site from multiple Macs.

This method didn't work for me, I've created an alternate thread for mi case. I'd appreciate any other alternative.

I can't open old IMovie project done with ILife09

I can't open old IMovie project done with ILife09 on my new MacBook Pro Retina with Lion Mountain system.

you can't just move a project that way. It all needs to be contained properly. If you can find the original imovieHD project folder, you can start again.

Can not open existing sites in iWeb 09

I can't open sites that I built in iWeb 09 after my hard drive has been reformatted, I can only open new.

if you were using time machine or any other backup system you should be able to recover a copy of the domain file.
All your iweb work is in the domain file, if that isn't frequently backed up, you lose your edited work. Your published site should still be fine but if you republish iWeb now it will overwrite your published site and it will be gone as well.
By default, the "domain" file is in your user/library/application support/iWeb folder.
You will have to start over if you want to make changes to your published site. If you have to redevelop your site, publish to a local folder until you get it the way you want it, because when you publish to your server it will overwrite your existing site. in the future keep your domain file frequently backed up and keep copies somewhere other than your hard drive.
Hopefully you were using time machine, if not I feel your pain.
Sincerely, David

Can't Open Existing Projects

Hello, I'm using GarageBand 3.0.4, and i'm having a heck of a time trying to understand why this is happening:
I have GB projects (music projects) made (only 2 of them). I click on the GarageBand icon in the dock, the window that gives you an option of what file you want to create pops up (after initializing). The last option says "Open Existing File". I click on it, brings me to the window to select the file I want to open. I select the one I want, click open, then....frustration.
What happens is, it just takes me back to the window that asks me what type of file I want to create (and the "open existing file" option at the bottom). I've tried opening up the other file, and still the same thing.
I even tried making a new project, saving it, and then try opening it up again, but does the same thing.
What's going on here?!
-Thanks

Well, YAY! and Gah!
At least we have you up and running, but I'm not sure what the actual problem is.
It makes me think that some kind of support file is munged (technical term), but I wouldn't expect that to affect opening a file, just creating one (I've seen this and been able to recreate it, so it makes sense to me)
About the only thing that I can think off at the moment is reinstalling GB from the original DVD. I would probably search for everything with the name "GarageBand" and delete it/them (except, obviously, files or folders I created) and then do the install.
