Had to re-install Mac OS X- My iWeb website has disappeared

Has anyone had this problem?
Today I had to reinstall my Mac OS 10.4.6 operating system. When I launched the also freshly installed iWeb application and logged in with my correct User ID and Password, my iWeb website did NOT appear.
The application screen is completely blank and almost every menu item is grayed out. There is no option to download pages from server, import or anything esle that seems like it could fix it.
I dragged the plist for iWeb from the old System folder Preferences file into the new one, hoping that would help. No deal. Does anyone know how I can get my freshly installed version of iWeb to see my previously posted website?? (I have a back up copy of the website files on my desktop, but don't know how to get them recognized by iWeb). Thanks!

newposting,
Has anyone had this problem?
Yes. Many people; you are not alone, by any means. Here's the problem:
iWeb can't edit html like other mainstream web apps. It keeps everything you put into the application, as you build, in a single file, called Domain.sites. This file lives on your hard drive here. When you are finished creating in iWeb and you use the Publish command, it's at that point that iWeb draws on the Domain file and other resources in the application, and writes the html.
Without this Domain file, you cannot access or edit work created in iWeb. Published files cannot be imported back into the application.
Backup this file frequently from now on. Varkgirl has given us a great little automator app which can be downloaded free here.
You can probably fix the greyed out menu options by launching iPhoto and, using the iWeb icon at the bottom of the window, send some pic media to iWeb. Sometimes it can take a number of tries.

  • After installing CC, The font on some websites has changed in my browser Google Chrome. Help!

    After installing CC, The font on some websites has changed in my browser Google Chrome. Help!
    take for example facebook & ebay, the fonts have changed to a distorted block type font, very un-readable, Only after I installed adobe CC, this took place...
    I am using google chrome
    Can any one help me?
    I have tried to fix it by tinkering with some settings in google chrome but had no luck!
    here is a screenshot of the problem:

    Unless a web page uses a “web font” that it supplies itself, web pages typically provide a list of fonts, in priority order, of fonts to be used to render text. Typically, this list of fonts represents “system fonts” of MacOS, Windows, iOS, and Android - fonts that can be counted on being installed. Helvetica Neue is a MacOS system font that is not typically found on Windows systems. And even if a user licenses recent versions of Helvetica Neue OpenType fonts and installs same on Windows systems, they are in the “Helvetica Neue Std” family which would not match “Helvetica Neue” which is native to MacOS. Thus, I suspect that the Helvetica Neue you have installed on Windows is an older font offering.
    There are three issues here:
    The first is that web pages provide a priority list for font usage. I suspect that the web pages you are seeing Helvetica Neue actually used on your system are requesting fonts in the order of Helvetica Neue and then Arial. The typical MacOS system would display the content with Helvetica Neue and the typical Windows system would display the content with Arial. Since you have Helvetica Neue on your system, you are getting rendering similar to what a MacOS system would have.
    The second issue is that there is no way to force a web page to reverse the order of priority of the fonts it lists.
    And finally, the third issue is that there is no way to hide a font selectively by application.
    The only way you can avoid Helvetica Neue being used on web pages preferring Helvetica Neue to let's say Arial or any other font on its list for particular text rendering is to uninstall Helvetica Neue.
    That having been said, other than perhaps personal type design preferences, are there any other issues with regards to use of Helvetica Neue for display of these web pages?

  • Has anyone had a problem installing IOS8 on an I pad mine has just jammed up cannot do anything with it.

    I have an Ipad 2 and just tried updating to IOS8 but after 1 hour it is not doing anything anyone else had a problem

    You are probably correct. I tried all different variations to test it. As long as I quit each document separately, i.e., red dot it, I seem to bring up only one document after that whether I click on the document itself or open it within pages. The same is true with numbers.
    Two more questions:
    1) can you turn off the "resume" feature? If so, how? I could not find a way to do it.
    2) why the "save a version" feature in pages? What happened to the old "save" and "save as" features?
    Thanks so much, you saved me a lot of frustration but I am still going to install MS Office for Mac.

  • I've lost quicktime pro and can't find it. I had to re-install my HD and now QT Pro has gone and I can't find details of when I bought it.

    I'm 10.6.8 and I use a Macbook Pro. I bought QT pro a while ago and since I've re installed my stuff all I've got is QT and I need the older version (that I paid for) to edit.
    Any help will be much appreciated.

    It's not the player I need
    QuickTime Pro is not a separate application, so you won't find it by searching your system or by looking for a download. A Pro key just unlocks the extra features of QuickTime Player and the QuickTime browser plugin. You need the QuickTime Player 7 Kirk and I have referred to; only that version can be "unlocked" with a Pro key.
    I can't find that either. I've trawled my email and can't find it.
    Log into your account in the Apple Store and click on the Downloadable Software Purchases link. You should find the key shown there. If not, you may need to purchase a new key.

  • I have a Compaq CQ 70 and have just installed Windows 7 and my inbuilt microphone has disappeared?

    Does anyone know how to reinstall it as I need it to use on Skype. Thank you.
    This question was solved.

    You're very welcome.
    Windows 7 is a great operating system, and normally the drivers it installs are fine. But the generic drivers that are loaded don't always cover everything, such as what you experienced with your mike not working, but the speakers did.
    I once had a similar issue...I installed Windows 7 on a HP dc7600, and the audio worked fine out of my plugged in speakers, but it did not work out of the built in PC speaker. I was at a loss to figure out why. I knew the speaker had worked in XP, so I knew it wasn't broken.
    On a hunch, I went to the Realtek website and downloaded the newest audio drivers for Windows 7, and voila, my internal PC speaker worked fine.
    Enjoy!

    If you rented the film on your iPhone or Apple TV then you can't transfer it - when you rent on an iOS device you can only watch it on that iOS device.
    The only way to be able to move rentals is if you rent them on your computer's iTunes (you can't use AirDrop nor Bluetooth) : How to rent a movie from the iTunes Store on your computer
    Once the rental is downloaded, you can watch it on your computer or transfer the rental to a supported iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV (1st generation):
    Connect the device and select it in iTunes.
    Click the Movies button.
    Select the movie, and then click Move.
    After all movies have been moved, click Apply in the lower-right corner of iTunes.
    You must be connected to the Internet to transfer a rented movie.
    For purchases from the store, not rentals, you should be able to copy them from your phone to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option
    For AirDrop, there is a bit of info on this page : Use AirDrop to wirelessly share content.

  • I just had more ram installed in my 2009 mac mini and now there is no audio at all.

    Hi all,
    I have a late 2009 Mac Mini which I update to mavericks. This was not a great idea. The performance has been aweful since upgrading. I finally looked into adding RAM. I was told by the Genius at my local store to buy RAM on line and bring it back to the store for install. I had the Ram installed today and I am satisfied that things function much faster now.
    The problem now is that the computer does not make any noise. I have speakers plugged into the headphone jack but no noise comes out. When the system boots up, there are no beeps or tones audible. The speakers were all working earlier today when I unplugged everything to take the mini to the store. I also plugged the speakers jack into my phone and they work. I was able to connect a bluetooth speaker and play music through it.
    I have tried to reset the PRAM but I"m not sure if I was successful. The instructions I have read for PRAM reset say hold keys until second chime is heard. I heard no chimes at all.
    I am a novice when it comes to computers but I am good at following detailed instructions.
    Any help would be graetly appreciated!

    Yes, this was an Apple retail location.
    I made an appiontment thinking that they would sell and install the RAM. When I got there, the genius looked up the specs for my mini and said they did not sell what I needed. He explained that the mini was older and out-dated. He looked up the specs on what RAM i needed and suggested that I purchase it elsewhere and bring it back for them to install. He suggested that I purchase a new computer but I couldn't justify spending $600 or more. I am a very light user and would only be wasting money on a newer set up.
    It was when I returned that I was informed (by a different tech) that Apple would not be responsible for any damage that might occur during the replacement.
    I decided to proceed anyway thinking that an apple tech was less likely to do damage than I was.
    After taking it in the back and swapping the chips, he brought it out, plugged it in and proceeded to open a bunch of Ram hogging apps, graphing software, and internet sites. I was happy to see that the performance was greatly improved and the spinning ball was not dominating the system.
    After I hooked it back up at home and tried to play some music, I realized that there was no sound.

  • I had creative cloud installed in a parallels deskto virtual machine on my mac, I delete the virtual machine without deactivate the creative cloud. after reinstall a new VM running windows 8.1. pro 64 bits, I downloaded the creative cloud installer but it

    I had creative cloud installed in a parallels deskto virtual machine on my mac, I delete the virtual machine without deactivate the creative cloud. after reinstall a new VM running windows 8.1. pro 64 bits, I downloaded the creative cloud installer but it does not install ang give an Error code 72, it is assuming that I already are using the Creative cloud in 2 computer, but itis no the case, how to solve this situation?

    Dave: I did the Microsoft Update two days before this happened, and rebooted as required.  I just created a new restore point and lauched Creative Cloud.  Now I get the famous white screen:
    It just sits and spins (been 10 minutes now). 
    Fortunately, I saved away this command (which I've had to use 4 or 5 times already):
    del %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\opm.db
    Unfortunately now, I get this (even after closing the above window):
    The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
    So I killed everything that said "Adobe" in the task manager and this time, the command succeeded.
    Fortunately, the current apps seem to still work.  I can't seem to find the "Creative Cloud" app in the applications on my system, but I launched Photoshop CC, told it to look for updates, and got a list of the 5 prgorams that need updates in the Adobe Application manager:
    I will proceed with the updates, holding my breath.

  • I had PSE 12 installed on my Mac that died a sudden death yesterday.

    I had PSE 12 installed on my Mac that died a sudden death yesterday. I can't find anywhere to download 12....everything takes me to 13. After spending $$$$$$ on a new computer, I can't outlay another $79 to upgrade to 13. Anyone have any advice for me?

    You need to go to this link:

    Good luck.

  • Hello there, if i had installed a windows on bootcamp and for some reasons the windows had infected, does the mac gets infected or harmed? sorry im transforming from pc to mac and i just want to know .. thank you

    if i had installed a windows on bootcamp and for some reasons the windows had infected, does the mac gets infected or harmed?

    Yes, when you run Win via BootCamp, the computer is a "real" Windows computer and just as vulnerable as any other Windows machine. It its the operating system, not the hardware, that creates vulnerability.
    However, it also means you basicaly have two independent computers that happen to share the same physical space. The Mac side, as others have said, is not vulnerable to assaults that are made on the Windows side, so do not go installing a pile of anti-virus garage on the Mac side. It is unneeded at this time and will basically ruin your Mac's performance. The Windows side WILL need some form of protection.
