Copying iweb pages from one computer to another

I have iweb pages operational on a G5.
I want to transfer them to iweb on my macbook instead.
I don't want to re-create them from scratch.
I have a .mac account.
Both iweb programs are the same version.
This is a mac! There must be an easy way to copy the web pages from one computer to another!
I explored the domain file route, copied the file from my G5 to the macbook, and did not get the pages I wanted. Instead I got the start page template. My information was not there.
Any help out there?

All your information is in a single file called "domain"
By default it should be located in your
user/library/application support/iWeb/ folder.
Find it, copy it, and move it to the new computer.
The first time you use it on the new computer double click the newly moved "domain" file to start up the iWeb application. Once you do that iWeb will remember that that is the file to open on start-up.
I use multiple computers to edit iWeb and to avoid confusion as to which "domain" file is the most recent, I just keep it on a flash drive. Be sure to keep "domain" backed up safely on your computers and off (CD disks, external hard drives, etc) because if you lose that one file, you've lost all your work. iWeb cannot edit published pages.
The reason you got blank pages is that you have to double click on the newly moved "domain" file to start up iWeb. Otherwise iWeb will start from the blank "domain" file that is already on the computer. You can have many "domain" files on the computer, If you start the iWeb application by clicking the iWeb icon, it will open the last "domain" file edited on that computer, which isn't the one you just moved. There is no other way to access your work.
Good luck, David

  • Moving iWeb data from one computer to another

    I have an iWeb site on my old mac lap top. I can not get the data to transfer to the new laptop. How do I move all iweb entries from one computer to another?

    I would say that if you created pages in iWeb, your ability to do this originated from a basic Domain file, and it is there, in your computer, somewhere. I have seen cases where it appeared as though work that was published to a folder and not 'saved' in the application didn't make it into the Domain file, but I haven't been able to replicate this situation.
    Spotlight "Domain", and see what comes up. Also, make sure you are looking in your Home Folder location, not your main HD library.

  • Transfer iweb files from one computer to another

    Does anyone know how to transfer iweb files from one computer to another?

    Change the name of the file to Domain-2.sites2 and try to copy it to the Desktop on the new Mac.
    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.
    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:

    OK my bad
    I just realized that I was in Word Processing in one document and Page Layout in another and you cannot do the copy between the two. Changed the Blank documentto word processing and voila it worked.

    I think this might help. Go to the document you want to copy the page from and go to the "View" menu and choose "page thumbnail" so you can see the thumbnails on the side of the document. Right click (or control click) on the thumbnail of the page you want to copy and choose "copy.
    Go to the document you want to paste the page into and make sure you have the "View thumbnail" option turned on. If you already have some pages click on the page you want the new page to follow and then right click and paste the page where you want it. (you have to do this in the thumbnail view area, not in the actual document itself.) If you have inserted the page in the wrong spot, just drag it to the right location. note: I have tried dragging the thumbnail from one document to another and it does not work. Too bad because it works that way with a PDF documents in "Preview" app.

  • Transfer iWeb project from one computer to another

    I was just wondering if there is any way that you can transfer a iWeb project from one computer to another. I built a website at home on my MacBook and want it on my iMac at work so I can modify it there as well. Can this be done?

    If you are moving your library from one computer to another, simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

  • Web pages from one computer to another

    Hi,
    While in Italy for two months I made a large number of web pages on .mac from over 1000 pictures. These pages are on my MacBook.
    When I returned I successfully transferred the pictures from my MacBook to my iMac.
    HOWEVER, neither the smart albums or web pages (not smart) transferred.
    Is it possible to export web pages from Aperture from one computer to another? How?
    But how do I move the web pages from my portable to my desktop machine? -- And for that matter can you move smart albums from one machine to another?
    Thank you.

    yes. aperture is very flexible working with web sites and projects/albums
    How?
    what I do is build the web site, example, web journal and then "Export Web Pages." aperture will make a folder of your site with all the css, indexes, photos etc. you can then drag and drop this folder anywhere you'd like.
    I export that folder into my local_site root folder in Dreamweaver and tweak the css from there
    you can also use iweb
    But how do I move the web pages from my portable to my desktop machine?
    see above
    -- And for that matter can you move smart albums from one machine to another?
    yes. select the project in the project pane and export the project
    in the other computer, open aperture and File>Import>Project... or Folders into Project (depending how you exported in the first place)

  • Importing iWeb files from one computer to another

    I have created a new website on my laptop and have my other sites on my desktop and want to transfer the site on my laptop to my desktop. I don't see where we can import files from one computer's files to another computer's files. Is there a way to do this?

    Mark:
    You can copy the domain.sites2 file from the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on your laptop to the Desktop of your desktop Mac, rename it to something like "site name.sites2", and put it in the iWeb folder with your other domain.sites2 file.
    If you want to merge the sites in the two domain files into one new domain file you can do so with iWebSites.

  • Copy/Move Itunes from one computer to another

    Greetings,
    I need help...I purchased a new Sony Vaio laptop and wanted to copy all my music (itunes, walmart purchases, and music ripped from CDs). I read all I could online, including this site and consulted a local college student. All said I could just copy the entire My Music folder from one computer to the other. I did (making sure I placed the itunes song in the Media folder) and then added folder to the Library. Everything works fine except I do not have the ability to looked at my purchased songs. (1) How do I recreate the purchased songs log? (2)Is there a legal issue of leaving the songs on the old computer (desktop)? (3) Are there any problems/issues I need to know before I get too far down this path? Thanks for your help. BTW, I have made backups of my itunes account.

    You're welcome!
    +First, if there is an easier method of copying the library,+
    There is, and the method you tried at first should have worked. Are both PCs running the same version of itunes? If they are both at the latest version 9, did the old PC ever have itunes 8 on it before?
    +All said I could just copy the entire My Music folder from one computer to the other. I did (making sure I placed the itunes song in the Media folder) and then added folder to the Library.+
    There shouldn't have bee any placing itunes song in the Media folder - they should have already been there. And you shouldn't have had to add the folder to the library. Copying the entire folder over should have been as easy as opening itunes and seeing the complete library as it looked on the old PC. Sounds like you started with a blank library on the new PC and added songs - that's adding some steps that changed the desired result.
    Second, I do not have a Green "Purchased" icon under the STORE
    When you start with a blank library and haven't made any new purchases, that's normal. If you get a free single of the week it will show up. Then you can add your previous purchases like I posted with the smart playlists.
    Or you can go back and do the move from the old PC correctly, and it will all be there.
    Let's get all that sorted before talking artwork - you're right, WMP gets artwork from AMG and itunes locks you into the itunes store. But that is another thread!
    oops, I meant to ask if you have read this iLounge article and understand the difference between itunes library content vs itunes library database
