Domain.Sites2 - the extension, Why???

Hi,
i just check out my home-library-application support-iweb-domain, and the domain extension shown as .sites2
My Question:
I only have 1 Site, why the extension showing .sites2??? will it caused my publishing?
Thanks for advice!!!

i see...haaa...how fool am i!!!!:D
actually ,why i mentioned bout this , that's because of my Publishing doesn't update my content and even URL (site name) after changed. So looking for some solution.
Now, i try to back up my Domain and deleted it ... open iWeb and republished a new page .... Everything is OK after published. that's mean my iDisk and MobileMe is OK.
Anyway, still have no solution yet.
Trying to put back the Backuped Domain into that folder and open up the iWeb, republishing again now....waiting for the answer...still uploading...
i don't know am in the right track?

Can't Open the domain.sites2 file I Want To!

I'm tearing my hair out here!
I had multiple websites within iweb 08, but using it as more of a publishing facility and creating graphic adverts and stuff. Then I decided to make a website, which is where it all went to pot.
I hadn't realised that the domain.sites2 file contained all the information for the multiple sites.
What happened:
I downloaded iwebsites to separate sites and once managed to upload the website I wanted to publish to my .mac account. Then I successfully retrieved the old websites again fine.
When I tried this process again, everything was lost other than the published site. I had a back up of the domain.sites2 file on an external hard drive which I am now trying to get to open in iweb! And it won't.
I have gone through the process of deleting the iweb preferences and opening a blank site, saving it and replacing it with the old domains file with the content I want to open, but it always reverts to a new site (asking me to pick a template) or the last saved 'test' site.
I really don't want to lose everything I have been working on for the last 2 years! Does anyone have any ideas why the domain file I want to open isn't showing the correct content?
I would appreciate any help! Thanks

Yep I've tried that but it reverts back to the last saved test site. When I look at the package contents the pics and other items from all my sites are there but will not open as before!

How can I use the same domain.sites2 on two macs?

I know iWeb is no longer supported but I still find it ok to manage my web site.
I would like to work on the site from two macs. I thought I could just use the same Domain.sites2 on both macs but: if I move Domain.sites2 to dropbox folder, when I launch iWeb it does not know about it and creates a new empty Domain.sites2 in the Library/iWeb folder
I do not want to have to manually make a copy of Domain.sites2 to Dropbox and then to the other mac's Library every time I switch computer.

You may want to use :
http://wyodor.byethost8.com/iwebsites/iWebSites.html
Select "Choose new folder" from the File menu to select the folder on Dropbox where your domain file is.
If that does not work, use:
http://wyodor.byethost8.com/iwebsites/iWebDrop.zip
(Unzip the file and drop the domain file on top of it)
After that, you can open iWeb with your currently used domain file.

Saving the domain file in iWeb fails. I have tried deleting the cache. I see that the file uploads to iWeb but the message is that the domain.sites2 file can't be saved. I note that duplicating the domain gives me different size files. Ideas?

I have read other discussions and my problem persists.
I note that duplicating the domain file user/library/applications support/iweb/domain.sites2 gives me files of varying sizes (I'm at around 200Mb).
I tried rebuilding the cache ../library/caches/com.apple.iweb - no change
I found a note to delete also a preference file ../library/prefernces/com.apple.iweb bt found more than one (.../plist and .../plist.lockfile) so ducked that.
The website seems to update out of sync - as if I have a domain file elsewhere (in the cloud?) that is saving on my drive later - that doesn't make sense of the comments I have read. My domain.sites2 file is stadily growing - so one interpretation is that files are being saved and the error message is the error.
This has been a problem for about a year as I have tried many alternative solutions. I;m looking fro somethign substantially different.
One repeated situation is that I write a new page and upload it. I get the usual error message. I visit the site and there is the new page. My domain (on my machine) shows no new work, so I copy the stuff on the web back to my domain and steadily the file increases in size. Bewildering.
Everything is as up to date as it can be. I don't reboot very often as my machine is rarley off.
I'm looking for different ideas and approaches.....

Although some of the following will be a repeat but 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.

The document "Domain.Sites2" could not be opened

I upgraded to iWeb '08 last week, and it has been working OK since then.
My '06 sites were transfered to '08 sites - everything ok.
Until last night, when I tried to open iWeb '08 again...
I got this error message:
[img]www.av123.nl/Misc/apple/domain.png[/img]
and
[img]www.av123.nl/Misc/apple/domain2.png[/img]
What I tried:
copy old domain.sites2 file to another folder
restart iWeb and created a new site.
iWeb worked fine with a new site.
When I replaced the package contents of the new domain.sites2 with the old and restarted iWeb - still the same error.
Basically I lost all of my website (including one business)
I really need to get it working again - otherwise it will costs me days to start over again...
Please help!

No, there's not a lot you can do. iWeb '08 has proved to be very unreliable at converting files etc. Go to...
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070820100323784
... to find out more.
To get your old sites back in iWeb '06 would be the best way to go and then use iWeb '08 to build new ones a your leisure.
To try this you would have to delete iWeb '08 and reload iWeb '06. Then change the name of your domain.sites2 file back to domain.sites and double click it to launch your sites in iWEb '06.
Good Luck!

Why the difference between the Extension list and the Plug-in list

On my Extension list I can see -
Java Console 6.0.22 Enable
Java Console 6.0.23 Enable
Java Console 6.0.24 Enable
Java Console 6.0.25 Disable
The old versions have been disabled.
On the Plug-in list I can see -
Java Deplyment Toolkit 6.0.250.6
Java Platform SE 6 U25
If I check via the Control Panel I appear to have only
Java 6 Update 25 installed.
Why the discrepancy?
Why do I still see references to older versions, and presumably not on the computer any more, shown on the Extensions list?

That link was most helpful. Opening FireFox as an Admin, something I had never thought of, allowed me to remove the dead wood from the 'Extensions' display.
Previously, the only way I could be certain exactly what was actually available was by visiting Control Panel ... Programs and Features
Thanks to both of you for your interest.

I use sites with pdf's a lot. Why isn't pdf viewing built into Firefox? The extensions can't keep up with your rapid upgrade program.

How can I open the domain.sites2 that other person make?

Hello,
Actually I've already copied the domain.sites2 from other mac.
And I'd like to open it and change inside. But I don't know how to do that.
One more thing,
Is is working 'scp -r someone:~Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites2' to copy the sites2 file(folder?)??

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.

I have different domains in different folders. why it opens the same domain always?

this is crazy. I have different folder for the domais and avery time I want to open one of them, it opens always the same domain. After I upgraded to OS X 10.8.2 I do not know... did they change the way iWeb works?

Why can't I download the extension to allow Dreamweaver to recognize .pro files?

I understand that Adobe has decided to abandon Adobe Proto. I don't understand why they removed acces to the extension that allows Dreamweaver the ability to use the .pro files that Proto makes. I just barely purchased adobe Proto on December 14th, and I wasnt able to use it until the 25th as my iPad was a christmas gift. In between those two dates, adobe decides to basically render my purchase useless. I think that this is dumb. Does anybody have anhy information about my problem? Where I can get the extension elsewhere maybe. I want either a refund of my purchase or the extension.
Mike

Hi, Mike.
Sorry for any frustration this has caused.
Although I am not aware of how/why the decision was made to remove the Proto Extension along with other Proto content, it does make sense from the perspect that the extension was made (mostly) obsolete in late July.
The 12.0.1 update for Dreamweaver CS6 includes native support for .pro files, meaning that installing an extension was no longer necessary.
Are you using Dreamweaver CS6?
If so and you're already updated, just go to File > Open to open up .pro files.
If you're not sure if you have the latest update installed, go to Help > Updates.

Why do extensions appear in Ext Mgr, specifically for (2014) but fail to appear in the Extension menu in th program itself?

I know that many (most?) extensions are no longer supported in 2014 program, but it's not really possible to tell what's compatible and what's not from the add-ons descriptions. The Ext Mgr lists which extensions are downloaded and enabled for each app (PS CC, AI CC, PS CC2014, etc.). The extensions listed are different for each app. So, one would expect extensions listed for a given app to work there and show up in the extensions menu so they can be used. This is not the case. My Ext Mgr shows a number of extensions for PS CC 2014 that are NOT, apparently, available in that app. (This list is different from the PS CC list, which shows only things that are useable.)
Why is this? and how can one tell what will work in 2014 and what will not? Will some old add-ons be updated eventually to work with new apps?
I have asked this question elsewhere, in conjunction with another discussion, but have not received any response. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who understands what's happening here. Thanks.

Hello, Xiaoyi,
Is this still not working even after "a few days" and a new version of
Desktop app? I have followed all the instructions above--and then
some--but nothing has changed. I still have only 2 items in the extensions
window in PS 2014 (Kuler and Floating Adj). Also, the Desktop CC app keeps
telling me it has installed a number of add-ons, over and over again. My
home screen shows an endless list of these things, but they aren't actually
installed.
Any idea when this might get fixed?
Also, how does one control which app or which version (say, CC or CC2014)
the download will go to?
Thanks.

There used to be a extension for Safari called "close all tabs". It is no longer on the extension list. Does anybody know why it was removed?

There used to be a extension for Safari called "close all tabs". It is no longer on the extension list. Does anybody know why it was removed?

Mr. Davis answer is essentially what that extension did. I thank Mr. Davis for this answer as I was not aware of this method. I only brought this up becasue in Lion there is a nasty habit of Safari opening all previous tabs that where not closed when shuting down the computer. This can cause a long delay in opening Safari becasue of all the tabs opening up. The "close all tabs" exstension stopped all this opening process. I have to assume that Apple replaced the extension with the process that Mr. Davis describes, however, the extension was a lot faster. By the way, I have this extension still and I still use it. I just wanted to pass it on to some other users, but guess I will have to give up on that idea.

Hi!
I encountered a problem a few weeks ago which is a bit like yours. In my case my Apple ID stopped working after I upgraded to Mountain Lion. I finally found out it was because of the fact that my Apple ID has in fact been an alias within my much older MobileMe/iCloud account. And they weren't able to merge or reset the account at first. It took me a lot of mails and a few calls to get them to resetting the account and changing my Apple ID (for the Apple Store, iTunes, etc.) to a different, non-iCloud related email adress.
Anyway, maybe you can call the Apple Support and kindly ask them to reset the password for this ominous @me.com account so you can finally start using it.
Did you try logging into iCloud using your adress with the appendix @me.com because not everybody has got the @icloud.com ending yet. Technically it's no problem to create a new iCloud account. I can understand though that you'd like to get "your name" back .

Why do I get pdf files with an underscore in the extension ( ._pdf)

Why do I get pdf files with an underscore in the extension ( ._pdf) and how do I open them when they are email attachemnts, becuase it wont let me rename it or save it as any other version.

Not sure. What email are you using? Gmail (or web based email) by chance?
Definitely not a Reader issue if you can see the underscore in your email.
You can try saving it as is then try renaming it using Windows Explorer to see if that works.
