Domain not opening in iWeb. Help!

Following some support forum advice I was attempting to copy a site created in iweb to give to the friend that I created it for. I went into library/iweb and dragged the file onto my desktop so that I could copy it onto a flash drive. First I added some new permissions so that my friend could make changes. When I went back to iweb to work on something it now opens up as a blank application - nothing there. So I tried to retrace my steps . . went back and changed the permissions on the desktop domain file as they were previously and that didn't work. So I tried to copy the desktop domain file back into the iweb library but it said it was a duplicate. The domain site in iweb is huge so I assume that the information is still there but iweb is not "seeing" it for some reason. Help would be much appreciated so that my friend can get his business site up and running.
Please help. Thank-you!

What system are you using? If it's Lion the read the following:
In Lion the 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 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 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.
Give the iWeb Switch Domain app a try even if you're not running Lion.

My photoshop elements12 will not update says error and contact adobe but not open now for help. windows vista

my photoshop elements12 will not update says error and contact adobe but not open now for help. windows vista

I need the updates because I just purchased a Nikon D60 and my Photoshop does not read the .NEF files produced by the camera.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Do you really mean the Nikon D60 which shipped in 2008? Was it purchased secondhand?
The Nikon D60 was first supported in Adobe Camera Raw 4.4.
Photoshop CS4 ships with Camera Raw 5.0 so it can read D60 NEF files out of the box. No updates required.
If you do mean the D60 then something else must be going on. e.g. are you using Nikon software to transfer files from camera to computer?

Restore Failure - Could not open connection to helper tool

I created a disk image on an external firewire drive using disk utility.
The external drive is bootable and I run the Disk Utility software from the external drive.
When I try to restore from the image selecting the source and target I get the following error after clicking the "Restore" button:
"Restore Failure
Could not open connection to helper tool."
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
Additional info:
MacBook Pro 2.16 Intel
Tiger 10.4.7
Boot ROM MBP12.0061.B00
SMC 1.5f10
Internal Hard Disk: ST9120821AS
External Hard Disk: FireLite FW800
All software and firmware up-to-date
Disk Utility 10.5.6 (198.12)

I've experienced the same problem. What I know is that we built a system image using Disk Utility on a MacPro and we experience this error when attempting to restore the image on another MacPro using Disk Utility.
I've successfully built system images of MacBook Pros and restored them without any problems. However, I believe I may have built the image using Carbon Copy Cloner. This may warrant some more experimentation using the different utilities.

Getting "Could not open connection to helper tool" when restoring a disk

I have installed OS X 10.4 on to my USB flash drive using the OS X disc that came with my iMac 24". I wanted to use the flash drive for booting the system in case I run into trouble with my iMac.
Everything was good. I was able to use the flash drive to boot my iMac with no problem. I made an image of the flash drive using Disk Utility. However, when I tried to restore it, Disk Utility kept reporting "Restore Failure: Could not open connection to helper tool". Please tell me what to do.
The USB flash drive is formatted using GUID Partition table.

Same problem here.
I successfully created an image from a drive and I'm trying to restore to another drive.
I get the "preparing source..." for 2 seconds before the "Restore Failure" dialog with his geeky and meaningless error message. what is helper tool?! I thought I was using Disk Utility!!
Anybody can suggest a work around for yet another problem missed by QA ?
thanks in advance.

I need to create a second back-up of iPhoto from Time Machine to a separate external drive. The old iPhoto in TM will not open. Please help!

I need to create a second back-up of iPhoto from Time Machine to a separate external drive. The old iPhoto in TM will not open. Please help! And thank you!

Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

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.
I have read on here that i need iWeb 09 (version 3.0) instead of iWeb 08 (version 2.0) but I cannot find such version in the apple website
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.
I am assuming all the info is there but for some reason Mavericks is not allowing iWeb to see them?
Thanks in advance!

Sites created in iWeb '08 will not open in iWeb '09

I upgraded to '09 but the sites that I created when I had '08 will not open. They are listed on the side menu but when you click on them the main window is blank/white. Is anyone having or had this problem and found the solution? Please help.
I have the files saved to a folder and I also think I have the old domain file backed up on another hard drive. That is extra information just incase that can help me.
Thanks!

ITunes installed but will not open...HELP!!!

Hey,
I've been trying to get my iTunes re-installed as it seemed to just stop working. I'm in a right pickle as I'm working on the play list for my upcoming wedding...
I've removed and reinstalled about 3 times now (on Chrome and IE) and everything seems to go OK with the install but when I try to open the iTunes from the desktop, nothing happens. I can open QT no problem.
Please help as this couldn't have happened at a worse time and I'm running out of ideas.
Thanks,
Steve

First check to see if iTunes.exe remains running on the processes tab of the Task Manager, even though iTunes does not open.
If it does, it means iTunes is hanging during start up. This can be caused by bonjour as suggested by the previous poster.
If that doesn't work here is a method for troubleshooting this type of launch failure in Windows XP.
===
Troubleshooting silent launch failure in Windows XP
Before checking if iTunes works, restart your PC or close the iTunes.exe process with task manager if it is running.
A couple of simple things to try:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1776?viewlocale=en_US
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363?viewlocale=en_US
Stop the bonjour service, this FAQ has instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2250?viewlocale=en_US
But usually it is due to a problem with cryptographic services.
Check to see if you have your smart card service and that it is not set to disabled. For some reason iTunes needs it.
Start>>Run>>Services.msc
you should find the smart card service in the list. Report back with your findings.
Malware can interfere with cryptographic services and also prevent a resolution so it is important to check that your system is clean before proceeding: Run a virus and spyware scan with up to date definitions.
Then work through *Method 4* in the following link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798
You should be able to copy and paste the individual lines to save on typing.
Make a careful note of any error messages you get, they are important for diagnosis. Report back any error messages especially the names of any dlls mentioned.
If there are no errors try starting iTunes.

Acrobat will not open any documents, HELP! Thank you!

Adobe Acrobat will not open any documents, it tells me it is a trial, I click on license product and get a thank you for your Adobe Cloud subscription... but then when I try to open a pdf I get the same message it just keeps looping from trial will run out in 7 days to trial will run out in 13 days and I can never open a pdf. I am going to try and uninstall and reinstall. For most of us, not being able to open a pdf is comparable to not being able to work. This is totally UNacceptable. Clients and bosses are counting on my being able to do my job, I can't say to them, "Oh well the dog "Adobe" ate my homework." PLEASE fix this Adobe! Thank you.
Here is a screen shot of the messages...
I uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled from Adobe Application Manager, thought all was great when it asked for my user name and password, then when I clicked Launch... same issue. FRUSTRATING! Any one have a fix? I even created a pdf using InDesign, made sure I had View PDF after exporting checked and still got that awful Trial box. The pdf did show up in my documents, but I can not open it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you Manish-Sharma, I followed the instruction in the thread, and for the first time in a week I can actually open a PDF. I am not sure if this will be a permanant fix, we will see on the 30 day mark. I really appreciate that you read my question and gave me an answer that allowed me to open Acrobat. I also opened Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and AfterEffects. They all opened with the exception of a small glitch when I opened Illustrator which was cleared up in moments. See screetshot.
Thank you again! Much appreciated!
