Copy in existing site is now just random characters

I apologize if this has been asked before...I did a search but couldn't find anything relevant.
I just opened up iWeb to update my site, and all of my copy has been replaced with random characters. Here's the weird part: if I copy the gobbledygook and paste it (i.e., to put a sample in this post), the actual text shows up.
Any idea what is going on here? This is my professional website, and I'm really hoping it's salvageable!

Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
3 - reboot.
4 - launch iWeb and see if the domain file will open and appear normally.

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

Integrate Tribevita template into existing site

Hi all
I am going through the pleasure of integrating a new Tribevita template into an existing site ie so the crucial sales data etc is maintained. From my research, this is a bit of work and basically it seems you are copying various parts of the new template into the current (old) site.
I gather the process of integrating a new site involves:
1. Recreate the folders, web app layouts, forms, content holders, photo galleries etc from the new template, into your existing site.
2. Change the relevant ID's in the html in the new site, so they match the ID's of those just created in step 1
3. Then.... ftp all the new template's pages, assets, css, files etc into the OLD site....and in theory you will have your new & improved website all while maintaining all that traffic and sales data.
The new template site is a reponsive site from Tribevita - Flora Design, so I don't know if that will have any issues moving across to the old site. Has anyone gone through this process and can you give me any advice on things to look out for and if the above the correct method to do this changeover.
Many thanks.
David

Hi Buzzvick - glad you messaged me as I've been meaning to let you know but couldn't find this thread.
OK it did go smoothly but here's what I learnt.
First make sure the template you bought is almost EXACTLY what you want. Ie products display the same as you want them to, search pages etc work how you want to. Find one that you would be happy to use as is just with minor changes like colours.
Create your template on a test site. Write down your login details as you will refer to it often. FTP copy this new site.
FTP copy your new site again and save it as a working file (e.g NEW SITE - Working file)
Create all logos and banners in the sizes you will need for new template.
FTP copy your old site - save it as ORIGINAL SITE and lock it in your files.
FTP copy you old site again and save it as working - use this to compare the files for when you upload the new template
FTP copy your old site once again and save it somewhere else just in case you need it!
copy your products and customers for backup
do a sync if you are using onesaas etc
I also printed all invoices from start of BC / made sure I had a foolproof backup
Create a new start page and say you are doing updates (if you are tackling it all in one day)
(I was recommended to check duplicate scripts, css, images, templates etc but I realised this would take hours / days so skipped it and bit the bullet - If i had more time I would have but as I was prepared for our site (=my site) to be offline and have customers call if problems I jumped right in).
FTP across the template to your website - I used the 'working' file and deleted files on my computer once I had uploaded them so I new what was still to be done.
Update the template and page module numbers etc (I used a script from BC Gurus that showed the module ID numbers next to it - message me if you need it).
Screenshot the NEW template (on test site) and also OLD template ID numbers (using script above) and print it out - this will save hours as easy to cross compare.
If the menus don't show - which ours weren't - RECREATE them... this took me 2 hours to work out why they weren't showing as I just duplicated them and it didn't work!!
Now change over page templates - start with unpopular pages like about us etc
Using firebug fix up any styling etc and update css.
I also removed / delete all my old styling sheets and just kept the new template one (hence your site might look a bit fuzzy so make sure you do it on a crappy sales day or with the maintenance page loaded)
- I used FTP with my new template file in one screen and current site in the other screen and deleted anything that wasn't in the new template (make sure your original site backup is on file).
Check all categories, pages etc - e.g update home page etc
Check ipad / iphone versions (I use firefox web tools that resizes screen as our new site is responsive)
Make site live (remove maintenance page)
Pretend you are a customer and sign up for your newsletter, sign up for access / do an order. TEst it all.
Add in all Google analytics and trackings.
Update your SEO info e.g title tags - I went page by page through my old site templates and copied any SEO or scripts I'd need and saved it in word
Recheck site again - Pretend you are a customer and sign up for your newsletter, sign up for access / do an order. Test it all again.
Recheck site again from other browsers - Pretend you are a customer and sign up for your newsletter, sign up for access / do an order. TEst it all.
I also kept a notepad handy and highlighted all the above once done. I also wrote down anything little that needed to be changed and kept going on the above. If you start fixing little things as you go you will never finish. I employed my 90% principle - get 90% done then do the remaining little 10% once 90% is up.
And good luck! It took me from 8am Saturday morning to 5.30am the Sunday morning - so almost a good 24hours! Luckily I'd had a super early Friday night (no life that weekend!) and did it from my home office. So I'd recommend only conquering it when you can pull an all nighter so the site is done.
Hope that helps

How to change an existing site to a new local location

Hi!
Can somebody advise me ... I currently have ONE page defined with 2 spry JS functions ... I want to change wherever those files are currently being saved (since I am not sure where they are) - including the JS files) to a new local location on a drive. THEN - once I have redefined that new site - I then want to upload everything to my server.
My problem basically - the current page I have - I don't know where the files are going when they re-saved - especially the spry associated files ... so when I MANUALLY have uploaded everything - the spry widgets do not work.
Is there someway I can just redefine the current location(s) - then - everything will go to that new location???
Really appreciate anyone's advise! ~ Rick

Well ... maybe I can ask this differently. Assume I have a web page defined ... and I want to duplicate IT - to another newly defined local and remote directory.
In other words - I want to copy the entire site and it's associated files (images, Spry etc) to a newly defined folder .... if I have that site or page open - where do I go to have everything go into a new directory?
Sorry if this is a stupid questions - but I know I screwed up when I first defined the site / web page -and now - I can't get the page uploaded in it's entirety to my server. The site works great - when I view it in a browser ...
Thanks again for your quick answer and of course - PATIENCE!

My JPEGS are no longer being copied over to Finder. Only a random fraction are copied. It use to work perfect. Is there a bug in the updated versions of iPhoto?

My JPEGS are no longer being copied over to Finder. Only a random fraction are copied. It use to work perfect. I can move them 4 or 5 at a time, but it is very time consuming. Is there a bug in the updated versions of iPhoto?

OK - here is what I've done in the past. As I want to be able to save my photos on a DVD that can be read by both a PC and a Mac, I am burning them in Finder. I start by downloading into IPhoto. I'll flag and edit the ones I want to print or post to the web. After that I want to take all the keepers and move them from IPhoto to various files I create in the document section of Finder. I've done it both ways in the past, copy and paste or just drag over, all the files would transfer over. Now there may be dozens of pictures that do not move over - very random, in one case there were only 6 photos and the 3 vertical ones did not copy over.
I'm wondering if this is a software issue or if there is just too much data being moved around. FYI there are 2 Nikon cameras I use and the files from both do this.
Thanks

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

Dreamweaver CS4 - Existing Site Name Changed in Manage Sites

Please help me! I have an existing site name from Manage Sites become slightly different site name from original.
For example, existing site name was fashionstars, now become ftp://fashionstars, with ftp:// in it. ( It happen when I did some try and error approach to do certain task, or press the wrong buttons etc) Is there any possibility to change back to original name fashionstars and how to do it? Otherwise I won't be able to upload files to remote site because of different site name appeared in Manage Sites.
Should I remove the modified site name ftp://fashionstars and recreate a new site name fashionstars and copy all exiting files from local site folder to new fashionstars?
Regards,
SSYYDD

Additional information, I use MacBook Pro to run Dreamweaver CS4. The existing site has 150 MB file size, hundreds of files, so to recreate new site name, it has to start to create all manually, will take a long time. Is there any other ways I can recreate site fashionstars without to start all over again?
I am very worry about this, it may not be able to fix it. My website is stuck, won't be able to upload files any more.
Another problem is that I lost the SITE DEFINITIONS for fashionstars or htp://fashionstars . When I go to Manage Sites to edit site of ftp://fashionstars, it goes to CONFIGURE SERVER, not the SITE DEFINITIONS for fashionstars or ftp://fashionstars. Please help me.
( note that I use the name fashionstars as an example only, not my real site name)
Thank you.

Hi Ted,
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
Ignore the MacKeeper ad no matter what else you decide.
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
Just sits there occupying very little space & never interfering, unless you need to invoke it in Single User Mode.

Prior version to new one had facility to bring up frequent used sites. Now very frustrated, as I have to type in these sites each time I use the new system. I wish I had not upgraded! Now takes much longer. There is no stream lining here.

When I would use laptop before installing upgraded latest version of mozilla. I could go to frequent used site log and just click on a site and I would be straight into site of preference. Now this no longer exists with new version. I cannot find this anywhere, so now I have to type in each site I need access to. You have made it far less easier to use and it is much slower. Am I missing something here? Like google with there chrome version it is worse not better. I removed that too. Please advise otherwise your latest version will go the same way!

Existing site

Hi,
I have an existing HTML-site (95 folders, 520 files).... I want to integrate this in Portal.
What's the best way to convert the existing site into a content area ?
I don't want to view the HTML in a new window.
The "Item Type" (add a new item) "Text" , is that the way to view the HTML-code as a part of the screen ?
Looks a weird method to me...
Thanks,
Bart

yes, you definitely want to have the site on your local
machine. in
Dreamweaver, go to Help and select Getting Started. you
should probably
start from the beginning, but look for Setting Up Your Site
and Project
Files for instructions on how to set up your site.

Publishing in Existing Sites in Muse 30-Day Trial

Is there a way to publish to an existing site in the Muse 30 day trial? Or is it new sites only? I have a site I published with the Muse (code name) Beta, and now with the trial, it claims the current site is 'unavailable to this user.' Anyone? I'll be happy to buy the monthly subscription, I just didn't know if I needed to yet, or if there's a way through this first.
Any suggestion would be VASTLY appreciated.

I want to know how to publish my site by uploading files to a Godaddy web server when I click on publish the only option I have is to use Business Catalyst, I want to use my Godaddy hosting and my own domain name.
I have my own domain name and hostin service that I want to use, but I don´t have the option: File > Upload to FTP Host
I only can Publish to a new site as http://<blank>.businesscatalyst.com
I don´t have the option: File > Upload to FTP Host
why!!!!???
thank you

Need help - Deleted domain and can't re-add - Error domain already exists - Site down

In trying to reconfigure our domain setup, I removed the main domain name in an attempt to re-add it so that it does not point to an external DNS server.
I deleted the domain and now when I try to re-add it, I get the following error:
Domain already exists. Please delete all records associated with this domain before re-adding it.
I have no way to submit a ticket when I go to help and support and our site is now down from the main page. I need help ASAP.
I was able to submit a case when I switched browsers (Chrome apparently does not display the search bar/case submission). The case is
OBNW5020171
The domain I am trying to re-add is surfaid.org

Hi,
I just wanted to followup to see how this case is progressing. This is
very URGENT as our main URL is down and we are in the final stages of a
major campaign where participants have been instructed to go to our website
to sign up which could result in a loss of a lot of donations.
Any priority this can be given would be very much appreciated.
Thank you!

Can I copy an existing LR catalog to a new disc?

I have installed a new primary disc (C: in Windows 7 Pro) and re-downloaded LR4.2 release candidate. Can I simply copy the existing LR catalog (which I have on old disk, still accessible via USB, or from several backup copies) to the new disc and LR will work as it did previously. The drive letters of the locations of the actual image files (on other internal drives) have now changed so how do I tell LR to now use the new drive letter locations. Thanks for help.

Yes, you can do a copy and the catalog should work.
If the drive letters have changed where your photos are stored, the easiest way to get everything to work is to go into Windows and change the drive letters to what they used to be, so that your photos are now on the same drive as before. Alternatively, you can reconnect the folders (right-click on the top level folder and select "Find Missing Folder")

I wish to reset my ipad. However, when I selectGeneral Reset Erase all content and Settings, I am prompted for a a Restrictions Passcode (which I have never set). I have now entered random codes 11 times and the ipad not reset. How do I get past this?

I wish to reset my ipad (as advised by the Apple Store) to attempt to resolve an issue with a non-responsive part of the screen.. However, when I select General>Reset>Erase all content and Settings, I am prompted for a a Restrictions Passcode (which I have never set). I have now entered random codes 11 times and the ipad has not reset. How do I get past this? I am now at the point where I have to wait 60 mins before I can enter another random passcode. I just want the ipad to clear down, erase everything so I can start again.

The other option is to force iPad into Recovery Mode.
