Help - can't change previously published iweb site!!

I recently changed computers from an old swivel screen imac to the new type. I'm trying to change a website that I created using the old mac and iweb '06. I don't think there is anything of the old site information transferred onto the new mac.
I'm currently using iweb '08. Any answers?? Many thanks...

You need to go to Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb on the old Mac and copy the domain file.
Paste it into a new folder on your new machine and also make a backup copy.
Double click the domain file and iWeb should launch and convert your old domain.sites file to the new format - domain.sites2.
This new file will now be present in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb and you can launch your site from the application as usual.

  • How can I publish iWeb site in root directory in place of a prior site?

    Hi there... I have created a family web site and published it to my .mac account. The problem is that I had previously published another site and that site remains in the 'root' directory of my account. Practically, this means that if anyone types in:
    web.mac.com/[username]
    ... they will get my old site instead of the site i wish them to see... Is there any way I can move my new site so that typing the more simplified 'root' address (above) will bring up the site I wish for them to view?

    Do you have both sites in iWeb together? If so, then simply look in the Site Organizer, select the site that you want to come up by the short URL and drag it to the top of the organizer. iWeb will make whatever site is at the top of the Site Organizer the default site. You should probably do a "Publish ALL to .Mac" after doing this so that all the files are in the right place. So once you do this you can access the default site with the short URL http://web.mac.com/yourname and then you can access the second site by using its URL directly... http://web.mac.com/yourname/iWeb/sitetwoname You could also provide links from site one to site two and vice versa to "link" the two sites together.

    It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. (Even though I've now noticed you mis-spelled it! - anyway, never post your address in a forum.)
    You have a site here: http://virginiagordon.com/www.virginiagordon.com/WELCOME.html
    If that's not the page you are having trouble with, what is that page's URL?

  • HT1338 Publishing iWeb Site

    I'm using iWeb 3.0.4 and I can't seem to publish the site even though I have an icloud account. When I publish it opens the system preference window and nothing happens. What am I missing?

    If you’re looking for a good hosting I would really recommend you to use IX Web hosting . I have been using them for my own iWeb websites since 2008. I know that it’s working great and that their customer support is great too.

  • How can I still edit my iWeb site on new iMac

    My mid 2007 24" iMac which has served me well has memory problems. I now work with much larger projects ( Logic Studio + video ) than earlier, and have to continually keep clearing the memory as I work. I have the maximum  4 GB RAM  ).
    This is halting progress so seriously that I'm considering changing it for a new iMac .... 27".
    My question is: How can I still edit my iWeb site on a new iMac, when iLife is no longer included, and so presumably OS 10.7 doesn't support iWeb ?
    Will be grateful for insights.
    Thanks,
    SeaDream.

    Well thanks. Sounds so complicated, though. Would another option be to backup my present Mac HD ( with Snow Leopard ) to an external HD and simply edit iWeb from there ?
    As long as I also backed up this external HD, would this be a possibility ?

  • Published iWeb site the hyperlinks formatting

    When I view my published iWeb site the hyperlinks do not all have the same formatting as they did in iWeb. How can I resolve this?

    Hello, I am using iWeb 3.0.4 (601). I publish the website to my local machine (from iWeb) so I can send it off to someone more technical to publish to the internet and manage all of the 'optimisation' etc. This is where I am seeing it is not as it looks within iWeb. Can I 'send' it to you somehow? Thanks for your response.

  • Can I publish iWeb sites and Gallery albums in one place?

    My Gallery has 66 personal photo albums of simple events (each photo with a caption). Using iWeb, I also have created a multi-page personal website of photos for each of 16 complex events (each site has a welcome page followed by 3-5 photo pages, and all pages have a few sentences of introduction). Now that my beloved Apple has spurned me, I'm hoping to get even, sort of, and post everything--all my photo albums and all my photo websites--in one place. This requires more complexity than I've seen in hunting among suggested replacments for iWeb or Gallery.
    In my drooling ignorance, I can imagine a website that has a few levels. On one level are key photos for all gallery albums PLUS key photos for all websites. A user clicks on the main photo of an album or website, and it opens either an album's photos (the current gallery way) or a site's welcome page.
    As best I can tell, I want too much. As promising as a site like Zangzing appears, it and others are limited to a single level of photos or to some six interior pages.
    Level one shows the key photo for each gallery album AND a key , and has a grand welcome page with linkClick on an album photo and it opens all the album's photos. Click on a website photo, and it opens to s that read, say, "Albums 2000-2005," "Albums 2006-2012," "Websites 2000-2005," Websites 2006-2012." At the next level, each album and each website appears . A Even better would be page links that intersperse albums and websites in chronological order. A user click on the main photo of an album or website and it opens either
    lists albums in, say, five-year clusters an  for --, perhaps one page for lots of links, maybe albums by years and websites by years.
    albums top-level row of albums (like Gallery) with the websites peppered among them. Click on a website photo

    PLEASE IGNORE ANY EARLIER VERSION. IT'S A DRAFT OF THE FOLLOWING QUESTION . . .
    My Gallery has 66 personal photo albums of simple events (each photo has a caption). Using iWeb, I also have created 16 personal websites of photos of complex events (each site has a welcome page followed by 3-5 photo pages, and all pages have a few sentences of introduction). Now that my beloved Apple has spurned me, I'm hoping to get even, sort of, and post everything--all my photo albums and all my photo websites--in one place. This requires more complexity than I've seen in hunting among suggested replacements for Gallery or iWeb.
    In my drooling ignorance, I can imagine a master website that has a few levels. On one level are key photos for all gallery albums PLUS key photos for all websites. When a user clicks on the key photo of an album or website, it opens either an album's photos (the current Gallery way) or a site's welcome page.
    As best I can tell, I want too much. As promising as a site like ZangZing seems, it and others seem limited to a single level of photos or to some six interior pages (far fewer than my 16 iWeb sites). Maybe I could create a grand entrance page that has links that read, say, "Albums 2000-2005," "Albums 2006-2012," "Websites 2000-2005," Websites 2006-2012." But then I'd be burying the albums and sites themselves at lower levels.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Changes in iWEB '08 are NOT making it to my published iWeb site

    Never had this issue with earlier versions. I run iWeb to make changes in pages that I have had up for months. iWeb says the changes are published. When I go here:
    http://web.mac.com/tyreeford/Site/Resume.html
    The changes are there.
    When I use Safari and the link:
    http://web.mac.com/tyreeford/iWeb/Site/Resume.html
    I get the old unchanged version.
    I have been using iWeb the whole time. Why did the URL change!? I didn't change it.
    Thanks,
    Ty Ford

    From '06 to '08 the way iWeb handles the publishing thus the url changed.
    web.mac.com/username/sitename/pagename.html is the new '08 url
    http://web.mac.com/tyreeford/Site/Resume.html
    you didn't change it, iWeb '08 changed it. Basically because the /iweb/ was useless and only made the url longer, looks much better now, don't you think so?

  • Error when Publishing iWeb Site (iWeb 1.1.2)

    I am consistently unable to publish my website. The following is the most recent error:
    An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites/iWeb/Site/Worcester, MAfiles/_MG0611.jpg”.
    Before this one, it was a different jpg image that caused the publish to fail. I feel like three pictures have made the publish fail. I have done nothing different, I just try to keep publishing.
    These are the most recent changes that might have effected something:
    1. I upgraded to Leopard.
    2. I edited three pages, removed one page, and added two additional pages.
    3. I did not finish publishing after these changes because I had to board a plane.
    4. I uploaded pictures to my computer, and then ran out of space.
    5. I had troubles, but with Apple Discussion help (thank you) I was able to install my external hard drive, utilize Time Machine, and free up space on my hard drive. (I now have 21G on my internal drive available)
    6. I moved iTunes music folder to external
    7. I added more photos to iphoto, and added another page.
    I have tried to publish several times unsuccessfully. Twice, my network went down. The other times, I get a file error (always a different file). And these were pages I did not even touch.
    My entire website is now "red", meaning it needs to be published.
    HELP!!!! I am sooo distressed.

  • How can I transfer JUST ONE IWeb site to another computer?

    I am new to making IWeb sites and am now making them for
    other people. I have about 10 sites in my IWeb folder and need to
    be able to give a person's site to them.
    I need to be able to transfer JUST ONE site to another computer.
    Right now, I am only able to transfer ALL the sites I have made to
    another mac and then, it wipes out all their sites! How can I prevent
    the ultimate wipe out of all their iweb sites yet give them JUST ONE
    of mine?
    thank you in advance,
    Beth http://www.yourzensite.com

    First, read Wyodor's post about changing the publishing settings HERE.
    You can create the extra folders in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb or, as I do, in a folder named iWeb in the Home folder.
    Create a folder for each website, give it a suitable name and paste the Domain.sites2 file with all the websites into each.
    Open each one in turn, double click the Domain.sites2 file to launch it in iWeb, delete all the sites except the one whose name is the same as the folder name, save and quit.
    Now you can launch any site individually in iWeb and sent a copy of the appropriate folder to the client.

  • Publishing iWeb Site on a Personal Domain

    Hi,
    I'm having a lot of trouble publishing my site to a personal domain. I am using iWeb 08 and am publishing via MobileMe and domains.com is my host. For some reason, I just can't get the site to publish on my personal domain. My personal domain is registered on MobileMe and the CNAME is programmed into the domains.com DNS management area. What's going on that's not allowing it to appear?? The site is just blank...please help!

    Works fine for me too, but not if you place the www before your domain name. If you want this too, you may need to go back to your DNS settings and set up a new CNAME for your domain name that includes the www part too, but only if you want to.

  • How do I publish iWeb site with Cyberduck??

    Hi there,
    I am trying and trying, but I can't figure it out. Can anybody help me and tell me how to publish an iWeb site with Cyberduck??
    Thank you so much!
    Marc

    Okay, this is not complicated at all.
    When you want to publish an iWeb site to some place other than MobileMe, then you publish to a folder of your choice on your hard drive and iWeb will create all the files needed. It will create one folder that has the same name that you called your website inside iWeb plus an index.html page. So if you called your site Site in iWeb, then when you publish to a folder, your folder will be called Site, plus the index.html page.
    You then need to open Cyberduck and enter your ftp info, plus your username and password and then you click on open connection. Once you click on open connection you will be connected to your hosting service and there will be a folder there called Public_html. You then need to upload your folder plus index.html file from your hard drive and once these have been uploaded, you just drag and drop them into the Public_html folder on your web space. To upload in Cyberduck, just click on Action at the top and click on Upload. Once you click here you will be shown all the files on your hard drive and all you need do is go to the folder where you site is stored and then click on index.html and it will be uploaded and then click on Site or whatever your site is called and upload this and it will be uploaded.
    It is not difficult at all, but you do need to know what you are doing.

  • Viewing Published iWeb site

    Hey there,
    I have published my iWeb site to mobile me. and I can see it in my safari browser. However I was told by friends and family that they could not view it. :/
    So I tried it on a friends MacBook and sure enough it couldn't be reached.
    Any Ideas on how to fix this? I don't even know what is wrong...
    Thanks
    BP

    Ben ~ Welcome to the discussions. If you don't mind giving out your site's URL, perhaps someone here can help. If not, MobileMe live chat support is now 24/7 — see this announcement. Other Apple support options are here.

  • Strange! Cannot update extensive, published iWeb site.

    I've been trying to research a problem in Discussions similar to my own but cannot come across a satisfactory answer.
    For the past two weeks, I've experienced very slow "Publish" updating of my extensive iWeb site. In the last 24 hours, I've been unable to update the webiste at all. Here's the error message:
    "Can’t create the file 'shapeimage2_link2.png.' The disk may be damaged, full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges."
    Mind you, I'm well sort of my iDisk capacity, have the current version of iWeb, am running a reliable high-speed connection and have not experienced any hard disk problems that I'm aware of.
    I have tried trashing the username/application support/iWeb/Domain file and letting iWeb build a new Domain file — to no avail. I've quit and rebooted — to no avail. I've run Disk Utility — to no avail.
    Suggestions? I'm at wit's end!

    Thanks, James, for your always helpful replies and information.
    Paul, here are two things I tried with some success. I deleted new blog material — those which hadn't published — and added, then published, each new blog one at a time. Somewhere along the line, one of the new blogs apparently corrupted the ability to publish all of them at once. Also, I launched iWeb, put the Domain file (username/application support/iWeb/Domain) in the trash then published. When prompted to save the new Domain file, I chose the folder where the old one resided. Subsequent publishes have gone a bit smoother.
    Still, one wishes iWeb were easier and more reliable for updates.
