Crash now domain.site2 file is gone.

iWeb crashed on me last night - frozen then it was gone. Restarted computer and clicked on iWeb, it said: Can’t open file “~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2.” OK, went to Time Machine to restore to what was there 2 weeks ago. And it is NOT there? Got the external drive we were using before (now secondary backup) and thought surely it would be there. No - couldn't find it anywhere.
Checked, the blog is there and everything seems ok. I am willing to restart another blog as long as I can link back to what we have (3 years worth). So does anyone have an idea of how I should proceed? I was thinking of reinstalling iWeb, then see if Time Machine shows the Domain.sites2 files and do a restore - does that sound reasonable?

Boy do I feel stupid. Shouldn't do things at one in the morning - my aging brain can't function as well as it use to. Sure enough, I was looking in the wrong Library! Thank you so much.

I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Help please

I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it?

In Lion the Finder folder is now invisible. To make it permanetely visible enter the following in the Terminal applicaiton window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time 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 applicaiton.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file 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.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate

The Domains.site2 file transferred from another mac won't open in iweb

Just transfered a Domains.site2 file from one mac to another in the applications support/iweb folder. But when I open iweb I get the error: can't read Domains.site2 file. Any thoughts on why this might be? It's a large file - over 2 gigs, transferred from an iMac running OX 10.5 to a macbook running OX 10.6
Thanks!

Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
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.

HT201250 I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them?

I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them? No, they were not part of previous Time Machine backups, and I have checked both the hard drive the documents were lost on and the new one that I now use for backups. Any suggestions would be helpful, as the lost files are old pictures that are gone forever. :[ Thanks!

1. Yes, if both drives are formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
2. Reformat the drives if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and remove the drive with the pictures from the list of items set to be excluded.

My mac book air did a update and now all my files are gone, what do i do ?

how do i restore my files that were not saved on icloud? my mac did an update on ox mavericks and now everything my files,pictures,music is gone. how do i get it back

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly. Your contacts will be in whatever program you have chosen to sync. Just sync them back

FCP X crashed, now all my projects are gone.

So I was working on a project and FCP X crashed (as it usually does).
When I reopened it, many of the clips I had on the timeline were blacked out, with a red line on the bottom half of the clip.
Same for my audio files.
It won't let me reveal them in the finder, says they can't be revealed.
It won't let me relink them.
FCP deleted all of my project files that were stored on my computer hard drive and now when I click on different events in that viewer, nothing happens. I can click on whatever event, but it won't show the subsequent files to the right.
Does anyone have any idea what could have possibly gone wrong or how to help?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Heya Christian,
This happened to someone else the other day. The solution was to open the package contents of corrupted library.fcpbundle file from Finder, copy original media to a location outside of the library bundle, then open the latest backup file of the project in FCPX 10.1 and relink the media from the new location you just copied all the media to.

"Could not read Domain.site2 file."

Wow.. this has totally ruined my day.
I have a big important site I need to manage on iWeb, and so the last time it actually did work I saved it and then shut the computer down. I think this screwed me over... I go to iWeb once I get internet access again and it says 2 errors. The first is "The document "Domain" could not be opened.". The second, "Can't open file "~Sites/Domain.sites2.". I thought, okay better go find this son of a gun file, and found it right there where it's supposed to be! After moving it a couple of places for experimentation purposes, I rested it in my Sites folder, explaining why it says the directory above. I have it, and nothing within it looks corrupt, but I'm sure it is. Is there anyway to restore my domain file? Say it so!!! This is soooo incredibly pathetic of apple to have a program that does this, and I feel like kicking the programmer that developed this right now! Other than that, it was a really really good program.
So any help?? How can I fix this file?

Hmm.. I'll repair the permissions.. I already repaired the disk though.
There were 2 buttons:
"Repair Disk" and "Repair Disk Permissions", I only clicked Repair Disk.
So I'll do the permissions.
Where is this file?? I think I already deleted it, or couldn't find it upon reading other support articles.. but where is it?

Computer said start up disk is almost full a few days ago and now the locked files are gone or something like that. All I have is the pink and purple space screen and nothing else.

I can't get to any of my files. All there is is the blank screen with the pink/purple space photo. The dock won't come up. There is nothing. What can I do? All my pictures from the last 5 years are on this computer. It is five years old.

I unplugged the computer and plugged it back in. It says "Your startup disk is full. You need to make more space available on your startup disk by deleting files." How do I do this when I can't access anything?

I downloaded new itunes,now my itunes file is gone and itunes will not open,it tells me to reinstal i have done this 10 times and still cannot open itunes! then when i try to repair it it says "A installation package cannot be found!? help!

my itunes cannot be found,after i downloaded the new version of itunes.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

HT201269 My PC crashed. iTunes was on it and now all files are gone. All music does exist on iPad. How do I get the music that had been downloaded from iTunes and copied from my CDs onto new PC from iPad. Would rather not use cloud.

PC crashed. iTunes was on it and now all files are gone. All music both purchased and copied from CDs is on iPad. How do I get the music back onto the PC without using the cloud. Afraid if sync will wipe all music from iPad.

You would need to download iTunes on comp and download purchases again (you don't have to pay again) and upload your CDs again IF you sync your iPad to your computer it will erase everything

Hi Craig
Unfortunately, in your case, there isn't really a way to separate them as far as I can think.
You could try restoring from a backup, and choosing an older backup perhaps
Cheers

File "Domain.site2" ist damaged, Websites don't open

I've got a problem - can't open the websites I've created as the file "domain.sites2" seems not to contain all the information of the 4 sites I created.
The sites are there, but I can't access them via iWeb. I have no idea, why domain.sites is damaged or "almost empty". Does anyone have an idea how to avoid the process of re-building all the websites? Can I build a new domain-file with the websites that sre still on my HD?
Thanks in advance for helpful hints

I upgraded to the ios5 on my ipad 2 and now all my Notes, Numbers and keynote and goodreader files are gone. Did they back up? If so where?

I upgraded to the ios5 on my ipad 2 and now all my Notes, Numbers, keynote and goodreader files are gone. Did they back up? If so where? Any help is greatly appreciated.

that happens for people who used icloud for everything but contacts. When they updated and went through initial
set up, signing into cloud enabled everything including cloud for contacts. Since they had zero contacts in cloud, cloud cleaned out their contacts, but synced everything else that icloud has, like calendars, reminders etc. If those contacts were never backed up anywhere - they gone. If there is back up in cloud, it needs to be restored.
Contacts sync in the cloud need to be turned off, right after restore.

I accidentally created files using a Free Trial version of InDesign. Now the files are gone. Where did they go? How do I get them back? I pay for Creative Cloud... but used the wrong login apparently.

Files you save don't disappear, even if you no longer have the software that created them. They're right where you saved them.

Crash now domain.site2 file is gone.
