HELP! How to edit an existing MobileMe site

I recently had a hard drive failure and lost the contents of my MobileMe site on my iMac. The site has already been published on MobileMe previously. Is there a way to download the contents of my MobileMe site back to the desktop so I can use iWeb 09 to edit the site again? Thanks.

Chapter 2.3 of the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing image, audio and/or video files in your published site in the reconstruction of the site.

  • Downloading and editing an existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver CS5.

    Hello! New to the forums, here.
    I'll try to be brief. I've got a WordPress site in-place at metalmeter.com that is hosted through HostGator. Basically, what I'm looking to do is get the site from the remote server and edit it in Dreamweaver CS5, previewing all changes on a local testing server before putting the updated contents back on the remote server.
    Now, let me be clear: I've tried plenty of the tutorials. I've watched hours of videos. I still can't get it configured properly. I've got the FTP connection to the remote server running smoothly. I've got XAMPP installed. I'm having difficulties (and I apologize for being vague), and I just don't know where the problem is located. In my htdocs folder for XAMPP, I've got two subfolders 'metalmeter' for the remote server's downloaded contents, and 'wordpress' for the wordpress installation that every page seems to be pointing me toward. What confuses me is that when I try and open the uppermost index.php file on the remote server, the dynamically discovered content is not being displayed in the live view with my local testing server. I want to be viewing my existing WordPress site in its entirety exactly as I see it online while I'm editing it, and then pushing back updated files to the /public_html/ root directory of the remote server so that I can edit the site from my local client. I'm extremely new to Dreamweaver, so any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
    If you know how to do exactly what I'm trying to do and have been successfully viewing and editing your existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver for upload, please take some time to explain the set-up. I'd be forever in your debt!

    I've been following this discussion for a while now and I don't understand why you hope to edit articles from DW.  That's what the WP Admin panel is specifically designed for.  Besides, you won't find your articles in any of the site files because they don't exist there.
    I agree I don't see any reason to want to edit a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver. If you are using Wordpress then you may as well put Dreamweaver in the bin. Although people do actually want to edit and manipulate the design in Dreamweaver (including myself) and from what I've read its possible but I've never found a source which explains fully how to achieve this and those that I have it seems too much effort to even bother about.
    I guess the Dreamweaver environment feels more like home and is more user friendly.
    To put it another way, a typical WordPress installation contains around 800 files in some 80 folders.  Those files don't contain any content, just a whole lot of PHP code.   In fact, the only page most people ever see on your site is the index.php page which is dynamically created over & over by the server with content from the MySql and various include files.
    For sure and that's why people who use Dreamweaver and feel the need to manipulate a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver because Wordpress is 'in vogue' get lost. Wordpress just containes a lot of pages with nothing to see apart from some php, many of who will not understand one jot.
    Unless you're a coding guru, you should definitely NOT touch any of the core WP files as this could cripple your site.  If you want to customize your Theme, look at the CSS and include files in your Themes folder.   See Anatomy of a WordPress Theme:http://yoast.com/wordpress-theme-anatomy/
    lol your not wrong there!
    For a quick tip on Theming, open your remote site in Firefox equipped with the 'Web Developer Toolbar'.  Edit CSS on screen.  Save changes to your local site and upload it to the remote server.  No testing server required. 
    Wordpress is Wordpress and Dreamweaver is Dreameaver. As far as I can make out the two don't mix.
    Ideally you would just choose a Wordpress theme which most relates to the nice site you have designed in Fireworks of which you won't find any however goodthe themes are. Then manipulate the themes css that's if you can understand it. Even for a seasoned css expert its heavy going because everyone produces css differently to achieve the same results.
    Leave Wordpress well anlone unles you're going to use it out of the box so to speak or as a web-developer don't mind a bit of reverse engineering.

  • How to edit an existing vector in perspektive tool

    Hello,
    as the topic says.
    How to edit an existing vector in perspektive tool
    Got an Domino Stone Vector and want to put in another perspective and dont know how!?
    Thx in advance for help

    Before putting complex art in perspective grid, ALWAYS create a symbol first.
    You can only rotate perspective layers (and the art) around the vanishing points. You cannot change perspective or move the vanishing points (at least not if you want to artwork to adapt to it).

  • How to edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs?

    How can I edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs? I know we create a folder with the files, but when copying that to Mac2, iWeb on Mac2 doesn't see that folder - I can't see what the linkage is between the app's interface and the folder of site files....

    The answer is Domain.sites (extension hidden by default). You'll find this on the Mac you used to create the site at Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Copy that file to removable media and drag it to the same location on the other Mac. Launch iWeb and you'll see the site structure in the Site Organizer.
    Once you keep the Domain package in sync between the two machines everything will work smoothly no matter which you use. There's a neat tip here which may help in this respect, but you use whatever strategy you prefer:

  • How to edit an existing muse created website with muse on a new computer?

    Hi Everyone,    
    I'm pretty new hear and could use some help. I downloaded Muse back when it was still in beta and used it to create a website www.southernski.com      I really liked it's ease of use since i'm a newb at writing html and haven't gotten the hang of Dreamweaver. I need to update the site and make changes. The pc i was using before was running XP and the version of Muse then worked on it fine. But Muse has left XP behind and will not install the update on that machine and so I've installed a new version of Muse on a laptop with Windows 7. The files i used to create the website are on the pc that has failed and so I need to try and find out if it is possible to edit the existing site I have uploaded on a hosting site (not muse or adobe) and make the changes that are needed. Can someone please help me answer this question?
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    Sean

    Hello Sean,
    It is not possible to import the pages etc. from the hosting site to Muse for editing purposes. This is because Muse only opens files with the extension .muse (which is the extension for the muse website file that is created and saved in Muse). It is not possible to import .html files etc. in Muse for editing purposes, hence, you won't be able to edit your current website in it, however, if you are able to locate the .muse file that you created earlier (if you have a back up somewhere), you can simply copy that file in your new computer and open in it in Muse to start editing.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers

  • How to edit an existing page in SharePoint designer and add custom javascript

    When I edit an existing page in SharePoint Designer to add JavaScript and save, I get a dialog with message
    "Content in the embedded form field may be changed by the server to remove unsafe content. Do you want to reload you page to see the results of the save?"
    When I click OK it reverts my change. How do I add custom JavaScript to the page?

    Try not to push your changes through SharePoint Designer (SPD).
    We had severe problems with SPD saving page layouts in SharePoint, so you may use SPD to edit the page but not save it.
    To save it, check it out from browser, upload and overwrite then publish it.

  • How to edit an existing workbook?

    I have an existing excel workbook (e.g. test.xls) that I wish to edit (e.g. add a new sheet to it).
    I know how to read in an EXCEL file using FileInputStream - but how on earth do I edit the contents of this file once it has been loaded into my HSSFWorkbook object?
    I can do stuff to my HSSFWorkbook object - but because it was populated using a FileInputStream, using HSSFWorkbook.write(..) doesn't work - cos that is only applicable to a FileOutputStream.
    Any suggestions?

    Have you tried looking the docs on the HSSF site?
    http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hssf/how-to.html
    How the HSSFWorkbook object was populate (fresh versus from a FileInputStream) should have no bearing on what you can do with it.
    Editing the contents should be a matter of getting the sheet, getting the row, getting the cell, then changing contents of the cell (or whatever it is that you want to do).
    Good luck!

  • How to open an existing web site?

    Hello,
    Hoping someone can help me here.  I have a web site that I have made using iWeb.  When I upgraded to Lion I had MAJOR issues that ended up in a new hard drive and logic board.  :-(  I restored my documents from time machine.  Now I want to update my web site, but whenever I open iWeb it wants me to create a new web site!  There is NO open command.  How do I get iWeb to open my exsisting web site so I can edit it?  I tried to double click my index file, but it opened in Firefox...
    Thanks in advance
    Eric Yerington

    The Domain file, or Domain.sites2 to give it its full title, is what you need to open your site(s) in iWeb.
    Lion doesn't want to open this file for some reason.
    Download the app referred to on this page under "iWeb and Lion" and launch it to get this window...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/iWeb-Tips.html
    ... and click the "Choose Domain.." button to browse to the file and open it in iWeb.

  • How to edit an existing pdf (only have pdf file)

    Hello
    I have PageMaker for Windows version 7.01 and Adobe Distiller 5. A colleague created a pdf which I now need to edit. Unfortunately we have no access to original design documetn - only the end pdf. What is the easiest way for me to edit the pdf? I assumed that I could import the pdf into PageMaker but doesn't look like I can.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Angus

    PDF is an end product, not intended for editing. That said, minor edits
    can be made using Acrobat Professional and then there are many third
    party solutions.
    If all you have is PM you're out of luck.

  • How to Edit an Existing Oracle Database 11g Template

    I fat fingered a file specification in an Oracle 11g database creation template on Solaris 10. Is there a way to edit the template without deleting it and starting over?
    Also, is there a way to import an existing template into a different $ORACLE_HOME?

    Actually, I have both in mine, but the .dbt files I have are the ones that I saved (at the end of using the dbca when it ask you to save your template and give it a file name). I think the .dbt stands for database template.

  • How to edit the existing ALV grid output variants

    Hi experts,
    The requirement states that I need to rearrange the existing output layout of the ALV & add a few fields in it. Currently, the output layout is stored as a variant. The program uses the FM LT_DBDATA_READ_FROM_LTDX, to load the fields associated with the variant.
    Please explain how can i modify the existing variant? If not, then how to create a new variant?
    Thanks in advance!

    You may use one of those FM
    - REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_SELECT and REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_SAVE
    - LVC_VARIANT_SELECT and  LVC_VARIANT_SAVE
