Domain file - iWeb becoming a headache

I can open my domain file which has all my settings stored on my backup disk. It opens up with none of the changes in place.
I can not overwrite the domain file which is on my macbook pro.
However, I have to republish all my changes to local disk.
What ever happened to import website using iWeb? It is becoming a bad piece of software.

Manley ~ You could consider free, web-based alternatives to iWeb that don't use a Domain file. One is weebly.com and besides being able to update your site from any Mac or PC via drag & drop, it offers many useful features — below are links to articles describing just a few of them:
_Photo Slideshows_, _Photo Galleries_, E-commerce, _Visitor Stats & Search Engine Optimization_, _Mobile Device Friendly_, etc.
You can easily link to an external site (such as a blog) from the menu bar, which also offers drop-down menus — click on this graphic for more info:
http://support.weebly.com/support/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=82
And in Google's Chrome browser, Weebly's web app icon can be set up to open Weebly in full screen mode and logged in ready for editing your site — see HERE.

  • 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

  • HELP! can't find my iweb domain file anymore

    tried to back up my iweb domain file. located a file called 'domain' (in the library--> application support--> iweb folder) and opened it to check the contents (it seemed too light). it was the wrong file, an empty one not the domain i have been using.
    when i migrated to this machine, i must have renamed my good old domain file, put it somewhere and set iweb to run with it.
    the problem is now that i accidently opened the wrong domain file, iweb is set to run with this empty domain file. i.e. all my pages and sites appear gone.
    i have no idea where my real domain file is.
    "spotlight" or "file-->find" are no help whatsoever in locating it (heck, they could not even locate the other 'domain' file... does spotlight not search in the library area of the HD?? seems really lame). it must be somewhere. it was just here a second ago. it's not in the trash either (which i have not emptied for a while).
    any help?

    hm, i tried Cmd-Shift-C and typing "sites2" in the search field.
    searching 'this mac' and 'file name' or 'contents' turns up nothing.
    i tried typing 'domain' in the search field also.
    also tried to search by 'kind' typing in 'iweb domain'. turns up nothing.
    not even the domain file which i know is there (the wrong one, in the library --> iweb folder) and is called 'domain.' and which get info tells me is of the kind 'iweb domain'. ireonically, only its alias comes up (which is not in hte library folder).
    as for spotlight, it only searches 14 categories of files, and you cannot add any .
    is it just me or is something wrong here? if you search for a file that is clearly there, but search does not turn it up, wouldnt it follow that the search function is no good?
    i also tried searching as 'contents' a phrase which i know is in on one of the pages in the domain. but no luck either.
    i have not deleted the domain file. i am positive about that. i just opened a different/wrong domain file. that in itself should not delete, damage or hide my domain. its just misplaced. the frustrating thing is of course that the sites are still all there published online! but i cannot change or update them without the domain file... (of course i have a backup from a few weeks ago, but would be nice not to have to start from that again...)
    any more suggestions on more effective searches? e.g. i know that the 'kind' is called 'iweb domain'. any search program that could do anything with that?
    thanks for the cmd-shift-c hint btw. will come in handy in other ways im sure.

  • Anyway to create a domain file from the published site?

    My friend and I both use iWeb. She created a site and her hard drive has since crashed. I am trying to see if there is a way to make a domain file from what's on the web without going through creating a page again. Any ideas?

    Welcome to the discussions. No, there's no way to create a domain file from the published site. If she doesn't have a backup of her Domain file (e.g. via Time Machine), paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:
    http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebBackupretrieve.html

  • Domain File Problems

    I began to design a website in iWeb 08'. I saved my progress, then copied the domain file in the application support folder to my two external drives. I planned to use one as a backup and the other to work on outside the house. My problem is that when I open any one of the three domain files, iWeb launches, all of my pages show except for my albums page. i tried to publish and it begins to run smoothly until it get to the albums page. Then it say an unexpected error occurred. Anyone experience this before. Am I doing anything worng by copying the domain files? I was under the understanding that the domain file is a self contained file with your entire website.

    You're not doing anything wrong by copying your domain files - especially for a backup!
    I take it that when you say you are publishing you are trying to publish to MobileMe.
    Try publishing to a folder on the desktop and see if this works. If so, double click the index.html file to see if your site will launch in the browser directly from your hard drive and check to see if the albums are there.
    If not, delete the iWeb preference file Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist, restart your Mac and run Disk Utility to repair permissions and try again.
    If the problem is still there after all this then you probably have a corrupt domain file.

  • How can I replace just the corrupt page(s) in the domain file of iWeb using Time Machine?

    I back up with Time Machine and have an extensive elaborate website I created in iWeb '09 over a couple months and publish to a local folder and then upload to my server, but in the last few days I notice certain pages (that I haven't even worked on or touched) somehow become corrupted or "cross-contaminated" with elements and images from other pages.  Once I see they are corrupt I make sure not to publish them (if the current published versions are the correct, non-corrupt versions) or if they did get published I can use Time Machine to retrieve the .html file and page files folder for that specific page and replace it in my published folder/server so it shows correctly on the Web.  However, that does not replace the corrupted page(s) you see and work with when you launch iWeb and try to edit or continue working on that page.
    I am confused as to how I go to the package contents of the domain file and replace just that page with a previous version from time machine.  I don't want to replace the entire domain file because I have new changes I made to other pages even in the past hours.  How can I keep the good pages and just get earlier, non-corrupted versions of the corrupt page(s)? I know it's not as easy as with the published site folder where you can just replace the page's .html file and folder, but I don't want to have to re-create the corrupted page(s) from scratch or have to replace it with the last non-corrupted domain file and then have to redo all my recent changes to new pages I made before discovering the corrupt page(s).  Thanks for your help as now I can't make changes to the page(s) within iWeb itself.

    Thanks for the response, Wyodor.  I don't know what that is, but I'll have a look.  Is it an alternative to iWeb or a way to transfer pre-existing iWeb sites?  When you say merge domain files, is that like so multiple copies of the same site show up then you can pick and choose the non-corrupted pages and group them then delete the corrupted ones?  I am on Snow Leopard with no plans or need to upgrade anytime soon.
    And yes, I will read your links but just wanted to ask those questions.  Maybe they'll answer my questions, maybe not.
    I was able to discern that within the domain file is a domain folder with all the site folders, each with their own page ".gz" files which expand into ".xml" files.  I was trying to figure out if you could simply drag the corrupt pages out that way and replace them with backup copies that are still good.  I am having trouble discerning which pages are which as they all have random names like site-page-30F175E3-AE33-4F10-A490-1A096D9B185B.xml and although I expanded and opened each in Text Wrangler, I still couldn't discern which were which for sure, and trial and error proved cumbersome.  Also, I did notice some of the later corrupted domain files had one or two more pages than the site itself has, so not sure how they got added or duplicated or what.
    Again, I'll look at your links, but do you know about swapping out individual page .xml files this way within the domain file?

  • Warning:  Backing up your iWeb 'Domain' file will not save you.

    Here's the transcript from my chat with a MobilMe Support Rep. after losing (they simply disappeared) all of my blog's very valuable comments (hundreds), for nearly two years of blog entries.
    I have many backed up 'domain' files, and each shows the comments that have been received and saved for all the entries when iWeb first starts up. But then, for some reason iWeb scrubs them (they just disappear) and when I "Publish All" to the web, the entries are published but not the comments attached.
    Read MobilMe's response and consider yourselves warned. Backups won't save you. They simply won't. And yet . . . I was actually told I should have backed up. When I told my tech rep I had, then the reality of the situation came out. This is amazing to me.
    Read on . . .
    You are chatting with Omran A, a MobileMe Support Representative
    Hi, my name is Omran A. Welcome to Apple!
    Omran A: How are you?
    Omran A: I see that you have lost your comments.
    Omran A: Correct?
    Perry: Yes. Phone just rang, so my responses will be a bit slow for a few
    Omran A: I apologize for the inconvenience.
    Omran A: Have you upgraded iWeb recently?
    Perry: Yes, Omran, is there any way to retrieve them?
    Omran A: I am sorry this has happened to you. Losing comments tend to happen when upgrading iweb:
    Perry: I'm running the latest version, and have been since it came out. Had problems with people even leaving comments for a while, as did everyone who was using iWeb, but that had become an issue of the past for a few months as memory serves.
    Omran A: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2094
    Omran A: Please let me know if you can view the link
    Perry: We are well past the info in this upgrade doc. Upgraded long ago
    Perry: Yes, I've got it up
    Omran A: I just wanted to show you that upgrading iWeb tends to delete comments
    Perry: I am at step 6, contact MobilMe support.
    Omran A: Can you please give me a link to your site?
    Perry: http://web.me.com/davidperryphoto1/GardenBlog/APhotographers_Garden_Blog/A_Photographers_GardenBlog.html
    Omran A: Can you please give me a link to your site?
    Omran A: Thank you
    Omran A: Please hold while I do some investigation
    Omran A: Did your comments get deleted after updating to iWeb 2.0 or did happen month after that?
    Perry: More than a month afterward. Just a week or so ago
    Omran A: OK
    Omran A: Thank you
    Omran A: Please hold while I do some further investigation
    Perry: Still there?
    Omran A: Yes
    Omran A: I am still performing a investigation.
    Omran A: Please give me a few more minutes.
    Perry: Thanks. I'll just keep on working here...
    Omran A: Thank you for your patience
    Omran A: I am terribly sorry. I search all over the servers and I am not able to recover your comments.
    Omran A: I suggest backing up comments regularly.
    Omran A: I suggest backing up comments regularly.
    Perry: When I start up iWeb with my saved "domain" file, I see the comments, but then, within moments, the program scrubs them, because, apparently they are no longer out there on the web. Is there anyway to recapture them from the saved domain file?
    Perry: How the heck do I back up my comments if they are stored in some obscure place on one of your servers and seperate from my website?
    Omran A: So you see them and then they disappear
    Perry: yes
    Omran A: OK
    Omran A: I believe the following link shows you how to backup to save comments
    Omran A: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2094
    Perry: Omran, look. I have a backed up copy of my domain, just as they direct. When I start up iWeb with this file, I see the saved comments. But when I publish all, as directed, I get the blog but I get no comments published. That's why you and I are talking. I've apparently got the comments still in some form in my saved domain, but the program, or .ME scrubs them. What the **** good does the backed up file do me if I can't get Mobil Me to recognize the comments and re-post them? This is my issue.
    Omran A: OK
    Omran A: I am sorry I did not fully understand you
    Omran A: One moment please.
    Omran A: I am sorry even though you are able to see the comments for a split second. You can not recover them from the domain file.
    Omran A: Just for clarification
    Perry: Can we agree that this is a gigantic "cluster #@$*" and that this wonderful new opportunity presented us in the form of MobilMe has been very painful and expensive for many of your loyal customers?
    Omran A: You see the comments with the domain file you backed up in iweb but can not see them once you published them to the internet, correct?
    Perry: correct.
    Omran A: Do they disappear in iWeb ?
    Perry: But the program or something tends to scrub them within a minute or so of the program starting up. They are there, in all the entries dating all the way back, and then they are not. They just disappear.
    Omran A: I am sorry the domain is there but We can not recover the comments. I am sorry that you have had a bad experience with MobileMe. We have given our loyal customers a 90 day extension for your patience with us.
    Perry: Do you or anyone there know of a resource that I can send the domain file to take it apart and retrieve the comments. Someone has to know how to burrow into the file and pull that stuff. Anybody there know of a resource?
    Omran A: Let me check
    Omran A: I just checked with my supervisor and he checked the servers and said there is no way to recover your comments.
    Omran A: My sincere apologies. I understand loosing comments that span for two years is very sad.
    Omran A: If there was a way I would let you know.
    Omran A: I am sorry that you experience with MobileMe has not been that great, you may leave a feedback and let us know what issues has frustrated you
    Omran A: MobileMe feedback
    Omran A: Upper manager reads the feeback
    Omran A: Feedback
    Perry: Thanks to you personally Omran for your efforts. I'll be saving and perhaps publishing this dialogue between us on the blog as a warning to others, along with a few choice words and pictures illustrating my newly formed opinion of MobilMe. Watch for it.
    Omran A: If you select the blue close button and you will receive a survey.
    Omran A: Please note that the survey reflects only me.
    Omran A: I am sorry that I was not able to help you.
    Perry: NO worries. Thanks!
    Omran A: If you create the blog can you change my name to something else
    Omran A: It would be horrible to have people coming in and saying oh no it is you!
    Perry: Why, you were awesome. It is iWeb and this new, rammed down our throats long before it should have been, MobilMe that is the problem, not you. You were a real peach.
    Omran A: Thank you Perry
    Omran A: Thank you for chatting and I hope MobileMe services improve to meet your needs
    Omran A: And have a great day
    Perry: You can be certain that I do too! Thanks again!

    Yeah, if your Domain won't fit on a CD or you don't have space to save it, at LEAST set up Backup to annoy you at regular intervals. Once you've clicked cancel a few times due to wanting to get something else done, perhaps it will begin to wear on your psyche and guilt you into going ahead and doing it!

  • Repair iWeb "Domain" Files?

    Hello there. I have a question
    I've spent many weeks creating a site using iWeb and published most of it already. I have just made many more changes that haven't been published to .Mac. Just earlier today Thursday July 27, my Macbook began to crash, so I saved my progress in iWeb and it closed fine so I held the power button and it shut off. I turned it (meaning the computer) back on and opened iWeb to return to my work. After 3 or 4 seconds of opening iWeb, a msg displayed on the screen claiming the program "iWeb" shut down unexpectedly. I attempted again to open it and it returned with the same results. I did a bit of research on the int and tried a few tricks and it turned up nothing. Anywho, I was curious to know if there is any program avaliable for download that would open the damaged "Domain" file and allow me to repair or restore any changes to a previous point in time. If there is none out there, is it possible for me to write my own program to do this, and if there is, what is a good program to do this with? Thanks and please respond. Oh...and the site of mine that is on the internet is http://web.mac.com/eddy7496

    i really need to fix it...
    Don't use the icon view when the Finder. User the list view. Then the icon becomes the iWeb icon. In other words it's a Finder feature, not an iWeb problem.

  • IWeb "Domain" File Not Opening in Mavericks

    I just bought a new Mac Pro and converted everything over from my early 2008 Mac Pro.  However, my iWeb Domain file will not open in the new Mac.  It defaults to the start up iWeb page asking me to choose a new template. 
    Facts:
    1- Both systems are running same version of Mavericks.
    2- Both systems are running same version of iWeb.
    3- In the Early Mac system, when I open iWeb, the Domain automatically opens.  In new Mac it opens to the "choose a template for your webpage" option.  Same result if I double click on the actual Domain file.
    Troubleshooting already done:
    1- Confirmed this is the only Domain file on the system
    2- Opened same file on old system to ensure it is a valid Domain file
    3- Re saved in old system and transferred over to new system.  Same result when opening.

  • Domain file does not open my iWeb websites after upgrading to Mavericks

    I just upgraded to mavericks so i could use Media Composer to edit my new movie.
    I backed up my computer and saved my domain file (which is over 1 gig large, as it has several websites I manage)
    I went back to my original CD of iLife and re-installed iWeb
    I then copied my backup of my domain file onto the library>application support>iWeb folder
    iWeb program opens
    but my website and their pages/files do not show on the left hand menu.

    When I check for upgrades it looks like  my iWeb 2.0 (from my iLife 08) is the latest version.
    Can someone help?
    In the icon of the domain file which I backed up I see an image of the last page I updated before my back up.

  • How do i open iweb files on a different computer than what I created them on? - Domain file can't be opened

    I started a web page in the lab at school and want to open the file here on my computer. I saved the application support/iweb/domain file and have tried to replace the old one with it, but that doesnt work. I looked up where you can delete the last string in the com.apple.iweb.plist file but that would not work either. I've got the site published to a folder and the domain file saved and with me but thats all

    Put the copied domain file somewhere, or rename it and put it in the Application Support/iWeb folder, and double-click it.  That should open it.

  • How do I get my Old iWeb Sites off my External HD (1 Domain file) and onto my new internal HD?

    I justrecently had to replace my internal HD on my iMac. Before doing it, I backed up my 2 iWeb Sites (the Domain File) onto my external HD.
    Now I have a new Internal HD on my iMac.
    When I open my domain file located on my external HD, iWeb opens. Now I'd like to save the file back onto my internal HD.
    How do I save my 2 web sites that I now see on the left back onto my internal HD. (When I click on "File", "Save", it just saves it again on the external HD, because it's reading the file from the external HD?)
    Thanks....
    Brian

    You need to copy the domain.sites file from the external hard drive into your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on the new hard drive. If there is no iWeb folder in the Applicaiton Support folder create one.
    Be sure it's your home library that you're working in.

  • How can I find iweb domain files?

    Hi everyone.  I'm in a bit of a state!  I built a fairlybig website with iweb 1 - http://www.lakesweddingmusic.com - on my old Macbook (10.4.11) which died a few months ago.  I now have a Macbook Pro(10.8.2) and have imported iweb 3.0.2 (I think that's the version) from an iLife '11 disc, along with iDVD.  I tried the newly imported iweb 3 and it worked well. However, my mistake was to test it out:  I opened a new file from a template and called it 'blank'. Now I want to get rid of this test file and load up my already created website -lakesweddingmusic.com.  However, now that I've traced my old Domain files on my old Mac's hardrive, which fortunately, was left intact after the rest of the computer died, I can't get rid of this test file I created.  My problem is I can't find the new domain file that I created in order to test out iWeb 3.  If I delete the file in iWeb, iWeb won't close and neither will the mac Pro close, unless I do a 'start button shut down', which seems to be the only way to close iWeb when there are no files in it.  Then , when I reboot and open iweb, up comes the test file which I deleted!  So it's got to be somewhere on my new Mac.  I've searched Users/Me/Library/Application Support - but the only iweb folder there is the one I created which houses the Domain file which I copied from my old Macbook hard drive!  I've tried searching for 'domain' but only get the file with my website on it.  I simp[ly cannot find or get rid of this new file.  Any suggestions as to where it might be hiding would be most welcome.

    In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    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.
