Clean install and can't find iWeb files

Apple techs helped me do a clean install after a remote hacker incident ... the talked me through the moving my data etc. I find some 4 yr old iWeb files and I have reinstalled iWeb - but I do not know how to "open" the old files - it looks like it's an original version of the old website I created. I have no recollection what information I need (or how to) get the structure back onto the website. I always saved a backup of whatever I published, but now see nothing with newer dates.
I need help to connect iWeb and my website. I feel like an idiot!
Thanks!

If you have a domain file with your site in it you can do the following:
To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks 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.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Optionsmenu to bring the this window:
NOTE: with the Sandbox/Gatekeeper of Mavericks you may have to go to the System/Security and Privacy preference pane to be able to launch the iWeb Switch Domain application:
HOWEVER, if you don't have a domain file with the site files in it you'll have to start over from scratch. In that event, it would be wise to follow Ethmoid's suggestion and migrate to another application like EverWeb, etc.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

What is the name of the Bookmarks file? I just bought a new computer and can't find the file to transfer from the old computer. I'm going from Windows XP to Windows 7

I was running Firefox 4.1 on a 32 Bit Windows XP Computer. I just bought a 64 Bit Windows 7 computer and reinstalled Firefox. I backed up all of my XP programs and data to an external drive but I can't find a file for my previous Firefox Bookmarks. What is the filename and possible folder where I can find my old bookmarks and how do I import them into my new version?

Bookmarks and history are stored together in your profile folder in a database file named places.sqlite. These articles should help with restoring as much or as little of your other profile as you like:

Safari 8.0.2 update installed on my MacBook Pro wi OS X Yosemite. Now I can't open Safari. I get a message ""Safari Quit Unexpectedly". I see other people having the same problem have been told they have the Genieo Adware installed on their computer. I followed the instructions and did not find any of the Genieo files on my computer. I did have an Installmac folder in my downloads which I deleted. Otherwise, I need assistance on getting my Safari to work again.

Firefox and Sea monkey both crash on opening and can't find preference file

I am using Mac Os X 10.5.8 and the latest versions of Sea Monkey and Firefox. Sea Monkey crashed while trying to access a conference. Now Sea Monkey crashes every time I try to open it as does Firefox.
I suspect there is a corrupt preference file that both are trying to access but I can't find it. I've looked at some online places that suggest various plist files in the Library/preferences folder but there is nothing there under mozilla or firefox type names or one called com.apple.internetconfig.plist that was also suggested.

Yay, solved it. Dances. The conference I was trying to access installed a plugin called WebEx.plugin. I removed this and both now work fine.

Welcome to the forums!
PDF files are not editable. It sounds like you need the original PowerPoint files, and not the PDF versions that were created from them.

Ran Migrate to Mac and can't find my files

I just got a MacBook Pro and am coming over from the PC world. I ran the Migrate to Mac app and copied about 180GB of data from my PC to the MacBook (my Data Directory not in standard Microsoft folders). iTunes found the music files and Finder shows random other files, but the bulk of the data is "missing". I know it was copied because in the About This Mac storage graphic it shows 52 GB in photos and 89 GB in Other and only 50 GB free.
Without a File Manager, this old PC user is lost. :-(
How do I find the files and pics?

UPDATE:
After trying the suggestions above with no luck I decided to call Apple Support. After 50 minutes on the phone with them the solution was to wipe the hard drive and start over from the factory settings, then redo the migration. Even though we could search for and find specific files, he couldn’t actually locate them on the hard drive to find the other files that were likely saved in the same place.
His explanation was that the Migration to Mac routine doesn’t always understand layered directory structures found on PCs. What the Migration Assistant is good at is taking files/docs from standard Windows folders (My Documents, Pictures, Music) and putting them in the same folders on the MacBook. If you have data elsewhere, like in a c:\data directory with a bunch of subfolders like in my case, the Migration wizard can get confused and not know where to put them.
So the advice for those that have data outside the Windows standard folders, assuming you have to start over like me, is take all the docs/pics/files you want to migrate over and put them in the Windows folders, then run the migration.

Help! I cancelled migration and can´t find the files transferred

Hi,
I just got a new Macbook Pro retina and tried migrating with my old Macbook Pro 2010.
I then cancelled the migration.
After cancellation, I noticed that the Space Utilized on the disk is 118.83GB, which means that some files were transferred before cancelling migration.
My question is how to find these files?
I am a Mac user but not in any means an expert, so ant help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dimi

Hi Csound1,
Thanks for your quick response.
I only can see one user account.
Is there another way to see the other one?

Used the file transfer software from Apple to move music and photos from PC to iMac and can't find the files on iMac even though it was "successful" any help?

Used the file transfer software from Apple to move music and photos to iMac. After several hours it was "successful" but I can't locate it on the iMac. Any ideas for the rookie?

The music should be in iTunes and your photos should be in iPhoto. What happens if you launch those applications?
Best of luck.

I am getting the photoshop has detected graphics hardware not supported for 3d...without 512 vRam. I have enough and yet it still gives me the error. I have ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB installed and can't find any updates on adobe? What gives?

Where do I find the update?

Well, which school did you attend to justify your crooked math? When I was at school 256 was less than 512 or exactly half of 512... This simply won't work and nobody can fix it for you. Your graphics hardware is simply completely inadequate, considering that it is like 7 years or so old to begin with.

I have 10.5.8 installed and can't find an external hard drive. It used to work...but hasn't in a while. any suggestions?

I have an older Mac, prob 2007/early 2008. I've got OS 10.5.8 installed. For the last couple months, I haven't been able to recognize my iomega HD. It used to work with time machine, had it set to run on a weekly basis if there were changes, and then I started getting messages that Time Machine hadn't run in a while. Googled it, and there are a lot of suggestions out there. I've tried a few, but to no avail. Any suggestions?

It could be the cable or the drive may have failed. Plug in another external HD and see if that works OK, if it does then that points the finger at the EHD.

My disk says it is locked while i am doing a clean install and i cannot find anywhere to unlock it.

The disk is not shown as a selection to install to, but when I restart with options, it is given as an option as the startup disk.
MacBook Pro early 2011
Mountain Lion OS

While I was erasing the disk, it asked me to make a new password and it would encrypt it, so I made a new password and then it said that it didn't have enough room to do this operation. I thought it did not create the password because it says it is locked. However, it doesn't ask me for a password at any time during the restart unless at the very beginning choosing a startup disk, and then it comes up with my old user picture and uses my old password for my user account.

Doesn't even begin to install and can't read Readme file

I inserted the DVD in my Mac, but after some whirring, no installation screen came up.
I clicked on the DVD icon, which showed various versions of the Readme file, but when I clicked on the ReadMe, it just opened FIrefox to my home page.
I'm using an intel iMac 10.6.2.
Thank you for any help!

Thanks! I thought I had tried that, but I also had expected that it would just install since that's what other products on the Mac seem to do.
Thank you again for your help!
