Help! How do I edit existing iWeb pages from new computer?

I'm up a creek. I have a ton of pages published through iWeb using my desktop iMac G4. Recently the hard drive died. Eventually I'll have the hard drive replaced and files extracted, but in the meantime I don't know how to access my iWeb pages. I'm using my husband's iBook G4 now.
I didn't publish to folders, I just published right to our .mac account.
Thanks!

Your iWeb data is stored, not in your actual html files, but in a file called Domain.sites which is stored in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. You should backup this file whenever you make big changes to your site, because if it gets lost or damaged, you will have to start all over. Sounds like this might be the case for you.
For your future reference, I have an Automator app on my site that will help you backup your Domain file(s). http://iweb.aardvarkland.com

    I want to transfer iWeb pages from my computer to a friends computer. How do I do this?

    What is the friend going to do with the website?  If he's to edit and publish it follow Wyodor's links on moving the Domain.sites file to the other Mac.  If it's just so he can open the site locally you need to publish your site to a folder on your hard drive and move that folder to his computer.

  • How to customize an existing OAF page from Oracle, change it and reload it

    Hello all Oracle Developers,
    I am having a question regarding to customization, basically I am going to follow a very simple example.
    We have form: APXVDMVD and OAF web Page AP_APXVDMVD.
    Applying all our custom code via forms personnalisation is piece of cake. However trying to apply the same code to OAF web Page AP_APXVDMVD
    is a total back box for us.
    The basic example seems like this: Suppose that in the Suppliers/Vendors Page we type the supplier name and then right after that we populate in consequence all the fields:
    Taxpayer ID, Tax Registration Number, DUNS Number
    We want to grab the OAF Web page from oracle apply the custom code in java code or whatever necessary to make it work and deploy it onto the server.
    Is this achievable, if so how we can do it??? Can we grab the web page extend the classes that are necessary and deploy the solution. The demo provided from Oracle
    is showing how to create pages from zero, however Oracle have not provided how to grab an existing applications page, put the code and the deploy it
    Let me know any inputs, whatever you did and surely we will be sharing the same stuff all migration R12 long :-)

    Hi,
    You can extend OA framework pages and customize them. There is also a section for customizations in the OA Framework Developer's guide. IF this requires extensive customizations, Iwould advice to be very careful as any extensions should not interfere with the base logic of the pages. Please post here if you need more details.
    The following blog is a good one for some examples.

    There is also a course for the same if you are interested.

  • Copying iweb pages from one computer to another

    I have iweb pages operational on a G5.
    I want to transfer them to iweb on my macbook instead.
    I don't want to re-create them from scratch.
    I have a .mac account.
    Both iweb programs are the same version.
    This is a mac! There must be an easy way to copy the web pages from one computer to another!
    I explored the domain file route, copied the file from my G5 to the macbook, and did not get the pages I wanted. Instead I got the start page template. My information was not there.
    Any help out there?

    All your information is in a single file called "domain"
    By default it should be located in your
    user/library/application support/iWeb/ folder.
    Find it, copy it, and move it to the new computer.
    The first time you use it on the new computer double click the newly moved "domain" file to start up the iWeb application. Once you do that iWeb will remember that that is the file to open on start-up.
    I use multiple computers to edit iWeb and to avoid confusion as to which "domain" file is the most recent, I just keep it on a flash drive. Be sure to keep "domain" backed up safely on your computers and off (CD disks, external hard drives, etc) because if you lose that one file, you've lost all your work. iWeb cannot edit published pages.
    The reason you got blank pages is that you have to double click on the newly moved "domain" file to start up iWeb. Otherwise iWeb will start from the blank "domain" file that is already on the computer. You can have many "domain" files on the computer, If you start the iWeb application by clicking the iWeb icon, it will open the last "domain" file edited on that computer, which isn't the one you just moved. There is no other way to access your work.
    Good luck, David

  • How do I remove my iWeb pages from the Home folder so I can publish to a new host?

    I have moved my MobileMe site to a new service (GoDaddy).  The basic transfer went very smoothly.  With one tiny hitch:  the new URL text.
    IWeb places web  pages in folders, each folder being a  "site." The name of the root folder automatically becomes a "pointer" to the web site -- and part of the URL text.
    My current root folder  is named DavidChartrand -- me.  So..... when I published everything over to GoDaddy the text "DavidChartrand" was attached to my URL. 
    Instead of seeing www.davidchartrand.com in the URL bar, visitors  see:   www.davidchartrand.com.com/DavidChartrand
    GoDaddy staff says this is simply a quirk in iWeb's design.  Fine, but it's annoying.  Is there anyway I can keep using iWeb but somehow remove the root folder.....that is, remove my site pages from the root folder and and then re-publish? GoDaddy tech support swears it  has many former MobileMe/iWeb users who have done this successfully but offered had no idea how.
    David

    The way iWeb publishes its websites, in its own folder, the normal URL is http://www.domain_name.com/Site_name/Page_name.html.  This is a normal URL for any web host.
    If you want to get rid of the site name you will need to publish your website to a folder on your hard drive and upload only the contents of the website folder to your server with a 3rd party FTP client like YummyLite, Transmit or Cyberduck.  That will get rid of the site name in the URL. 
    Of course remove the existing website foldr from the server beforehand.
    I believe the folder you publish to on GoDaddy is named public_html.  You might try renaming your website to "public_html" and publish to GoDaddy.  In theory iWeb will see the website's folder already on the server and publish the website file into it. 
    It works that way with HostExcellence.com which names the home folder the same as the domain name associated with it. This tutorial explains more about it: iW16 - Using HostExcellence.com with iWeb

  • Upload photos and text to an existing iWeb page from an internet cafe?

    Hi,
    I plan to do a trip and created already an iWeb page on my .mac account. During my trip, I would now like to upload pictures and personal comments on my existing webpage. Can I do this in an normal internet cafe via my internet .mac account?
    I have checked this internet account and there is a button "web page" but my original webpage does not appear.
    Thanks for your help!

    You can't modify anything in an iWeb site except by using a Mac with iWeb installed and also the Domain file that created the site.
    .Mac Web Galleries let you upload photos by email.

  • Getting Iweb pages from one computer to the other

    I built an IWeb site on one computer. Now I want to update the pages on another computer, but I be darned if I can figure out how to do it. Am I just stuck using the same computer whenever I want to update my web site?

    Welcome to the discussions. Also read NOTE 1 here:

  • Moving iweb pages from another computer to my laptop

    I am a teacher using iweb to compose an online newspaper for our school. I had students work in groups to create their pages: sports page, travel page, etc...
    Now I want to compile the separate pages onto my computer in order to publish on our school website, but I can't figure out how to move the pages students created into my iweb program. This is a lot of work on their part, and when I try to copy and paste the information it messes with the formatting and doesn't move pictures. I'd appreciate any help you can give me!

    I am assuming the following.....
    1) this notice is posted in the wrong area of the support pages because you are using a computer with Mac OS 10.5.6. This forum is for pre-iWeb 08 users. I assume you are using iWeb 08.
    2) Your students are using more than one Mac computer to create their web pages
    3) You are using yet another Mac computer to create your compilation page.
    The problem is this, iWeb stores all the information on a file it calls "domain" and it is stored on the individual Mac computer. Each *WEB SITE* and *WEB PAGE* within each site is in this *ONE FILE*.
    You are going to be able to do what you are hoping to accomplish, but you are going to have to learn a few more things than you want about your Mac and iWeb
    The problem is this - iWeb doesn't save the pages as individual document files. I think you were hoping to take the individual files and combine them to make your "master site." On the contrary, iWeb is saving each page as it's own "master site."
    It would be easier to just have the students use 1 computer to do their individual work. However, it is probably too late for that.
    I had a similar problem when I first started using iWeb to create my school site (http://podcast.derryasd.k12.pa.us/concerts --- notice: there is no "www" in the address)
    Here is a suggestion --- it is going to take some time for you because you are going to have to take the students' work and basically redo it by copying and pasting each aspect of the page into your "master page" on your computer.
    iWeb will publish each individual website that the students created on their individual Macs to a file
    iWeb>File>Publish to a folder.
    Have the students publish to a folder and save it to a disc/flash drive, etc and give it to you. I'm not an expert at this, and my problem was quite a while ago, but I do remember my frustration so I'll try to help here by remembering the way I did it.... which takes me to another assumption. I assume that you don't need to keep the site that you have created on your "master computer". If you want to start from scratch, just delete everything from your iWeb site on your master computer. You will need to create a new site. (iWeb>File>New Site.)
    You will then need to create individual pages for each of the student pages. (You can do this one page at a time.) You will have to choose the same templates that your students choose. You will have to take your students' work that they saved to a drive, or CD/DVD and open it and place their window (probably open in Safari) next to your iWeb window. Then you can drag copy or cut and paste as necessary all the info from the students' page into your master page. Save it and then continue the process until you have all the individual pages copied to your master file.
    Then you can upload it to your school district's server to publish the site.
    I hope this helps. I remember how frustrated I was when I was getting started -- I have no desire to use anything but iWeb now that I understand how it works.

  • Syncing an existing iWeb account with new computer.

    I recently got my computer's hard drive erased, and now I don't know how to pull up my website that I created in iWeb on my computer. How can I re-register my domain and existing website to iWeb since it doesn't recognize it. Thanks.

    Great info roddy. One part though where you wrote
    Double click this domain file to launch iWeb.
    Although functional this is not necessary. Would not want to confuse OP into thinking the procedure of double-clicking the Domain file is required everytime the desire to open app is present. _Look Here_ for complete Apple documentation. Given that information coupled with your suggestion OP could copy the Domain file to anywhere on their new Mac and then double-clicking Domain file would be +absolutely required+ to open project in iWeb. This would then set new location of Domain file where afterwards simply launching iWeb app from dock, app folder or otherwise would open the Domain file, wherever it was located. Your suggestion mentioned copying Domain to equivalent location of ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb and in doing so double-clicking is not required since this is the default location iWeb looks for the Domain file at anyway.

  • How can I recover my iweb pages from idisk?

    Hello Everyone! Need your help!
    I recently had to restore my system and completely forgot to make a seperate file to store my iweb. I found a copy of everything on my idisk but can not figure out how to get it back to iweb. Any ideas? Please help! Fairly new Mac user.....
    Thanks!
    Kay

    Basically, you won't ever find a way to do it because iWeb cannot import the files stored on your iDisk. iWeb is not an html editor.
    You are looking at re-building your site, although you can use what is on iDisk to cut and paste.

  • How do I import a iWeb file from another computer to my computer? I have Lion and iweb version 3.0.4

    My friend has been working on a website on her iWeb on her computer and I would like to take over on mine. Does anyone know how to do this?
    thanks!

    Once you copy the Domain.sties file from your friend's computer to yours consider 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.

  • Import existing iWeb site to newer computer with iWeb (iLife) '09

    I have a website I developed on my older Mac using iWeb (iLife '06) and I want to transfer it to my current iMac (Snow Leopard + iLife '09) to use the better tools (for FTP uploading of multiple sites)... I transferred the folders from the original site to my "sites" folder but it doesn't show up when I launch iWeb. HELP!

    iWeb stores your website data in a domain located in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
    Transfer this file to the equivalent location on your new Mac and then launch iWeb.
    Your original file will be Domain.sites. iWeb '09 will then convert it to Domain.sites2.
    Make sure you have a backup of the domain file before doing any of this.

  • Opening older iWeb project from new computer running iWeb 08

    I have a project done under an older version of iWeb on another computer, and want to open it from the new MacBook Pro running iWeb 08. I can see the files in my iDisk, but they don't seem to be complete.
    Suggestions?
    Thx

    You need the domain.sites2 file.
    iWeb uses that file to store all the content you create with the application.
    What you see on your iDisk are the published pages.
    You have to get the domain file from that other computer.
    It's here (or should still be there):
    +~/Library/Application Support/iWeb+
    (the tilde (~) represents your home directory)

  • Moving iWeb data from one computer to another

    I have an iWeb site on my old mac lap top. I can not get the data to transfer to the new laptop. How do I move all iweb entries from one computer to another?

    I would say that if you created pages in iWeb, your ability to do this originated from a basic Domain file, and it is there, in your computer, somewhere. I have seen cases where it appeared as though work that was published to a folder and not 'saved' in the application didn't make it into the Domain file, but I haven't been able to replicate this situation.
    Spotlight "Domain", and see what comes up. Also, make sure you are looking in your Home Folder location, not your main HD library.

  • Will Aperture work with existing iWeb pages and MM galleries from iPhoto?

    Now that Aperture is available as an $80 app, I am considering moving from iPhoto to Aperture. If I do, will Aperture work seamlessly with my existing iWeb pages and MM galleries, set up via iWeb and/or iPhoto? The other editing programs I use on occasion are Nikon Capture NX2, and Photoshop Elements. Also, if I want to at time remain in "simple iPhoto" mode while using Aperture, is this possible, or will my life be more complicated for every edit? Thank you!

    Slightly disappointed in the dearth of good web page
    creating options in Aperture (you'd think they'd be
    better, no?). Can I get iWeb and create web pages
    using my Aperture photos?
    Yes, iWeb can access your Aperture images if you've enabled previous. I tried this and found iWeb's web galleries quite horrid. After experimenting with a variety of options, I settled on customizing Aperture's web galleries and grafting together pages created by the two programs. iWeb works fine for throwing together some top level pages, and you can then hang Aperture web galleries off them as external links. Several folks have posted instructions on how to do this, and one fellow assembled a nice PDF.
    Cheers,
