Help! iweb can't find my site/files

Help!
I've been using iweb for 8 years. LOVE it. I've even successfully been using iweb seo. But yesterday went to make some changes to my site and opened Iweb and my site is gone. Usually it loads in all the pages on the left column all neat and pretty. But it looks like it's the first time i've ever opened the program. it's asking me which template i'd like to use.:( Plus i had a bunch of after market iweb templates loaded in too for options and those aren't there either.
some background...Last week i tried to clean up my desktop and dumped everything into one desktop folder. I thought that might be the problem so i pulled everything out of the folder today, including the domain sites file and the website folder. And it still can't find the site. Any help would be greatly appreciated and keep me from jumping out the window!
I've never had this happen before even with switching to 2 different computers over the years. its like it dumped it's entire memory.
I have an IMAC 21.5" 2009 intel core processor
running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
Thank you in advance for the help!

If you are using Time Machine to backup your files give this a try:
1 - download Find Any File.
2 - launch FAF and search your Time Machine hard drive for "Domain.sites2". It wil take a while due to the nature of the backup structure. The search results will look like this:
3 - locate the latest backup from before the problem occurred and drag it out of the scarch window to the Desktop.
4 - open the domain file with iWeb as described below:
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain 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 in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that 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.

Trying to transfer, can't find domain.sites file

I'm using iWeb '08 and have read some of the forums about how to transfer sites. Trying to design a site for my sister. I've read some of the other questions on this topic and people say to transfter domain.sites or domain.sites2 file. I can't find either. Someone explained it was in the library/application support/iweb folder. Well that folder doesn't even exist on my computer. Any help is appreciated.

Make sure you're looking in the right Library folder. It's the one in your home directory, not at the root level of the boot drive: User/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
It's the folder that looks like this in the icon mode:

IWeb works, but I can't find the domain file!!!!

OK - this one has had me stumped for a few days now... I have iWeb (vs. 1.1.2 - from the '06 iLife). I need to find the domain file. It isn't in the home/library/app. support/iWeb folder. I didn't move it. I searched for it using command-F and using spotlight on my computer.
iWeb is to reset and start from scratch if there isn't a domain file on your hard drive. So I know it's there somewhere (at least, I think it is?). My site is there. I can publish. I can make changes, however I can't find the domain file to make a back up of it. I don't think that I made it invisible - could I have somehow done that? And if so, is it possible to find it? I believ the program only works if the file is named "domain" so I don't think that I could have accidentally renamed it.
Is there someone out there who can help me? I don't want to have to start from scratch and rebuild the websites.
Thanks for your input!

This is from Multisite's Technical Page:
Technical Information
While you don’t need to understand how data is stored to use Multisite for iWeb it can be helpful occasionally to understand what is going on behind the scenes. At a nuts and bolts level Multisite for iWeb stores all of its sites in your home folder’s Documents folder in a single package (which is really a fancy folder dressed up to look like a file) called “Multisite for iWeb Data.mfi.”
You can open that package like this.
Once you get your domain file straightened out I'd definitely get Varkgirl's Automator application to make frequent backups of that file. You can get it Varkgirl's iWeb Tips and Tricks site.

Hello,
the way is written there Activation & deactivation help >>> (see there only to understand the procedure) Common activation problems >>> "Activation limit reached for [product]. This serial number has already been activated on 2 computers." "Maximum activations exceeded."
>>> How to deactivate or sign out >>> A single license for Adobe software lets you install the applications on two computers—for example, at home and at the office. However, you can use the software on only one computer at any given time.
If you want to install the software on a third computer, deactivate the software on the computer on which you will no longer use the software. Then, activate the software on the new computer.

HELP - iMac can't find system file for start-up

Hi,
My Rev. B iMac (running OS 9.2) suddenly can't find the system file. I was working in MS Word for Mac when the system crashed. Upon start-up the computer couldn't find the system and showed a flashing question mark in an old floppy disk icon.
I started from my original OS 8.5 Install disk and ran disk utilities. That fixed a problem that was detected.
BUT the flashing disk continued at start-up.
I tried to "re-bless" the system folder as described in the Apple iMac trouble shooting guide, but no luck.
All my data is still on the hard drive, I just can't get the machine to start from the hard drive -- it will only start from the Install CD.
Any ideas on how I can get it to start up?
I really don't want to reinstall OS 8.5 and then go through the upgrade to get back to OS 9.2 again if I don't have to!
Thanks,
Mike

Hi, Michael -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
I really don't want to reinstall OS 8.5 and then go through the upgrade to get back to OS 9.2 again if I don't have to!
Installing OS 8.5 is not needed, since there is no update available to take any version of OS 8 to any version of OS 9. An OS 9 install must start with a full-install CD; for your model, that means any retail OS 9 Install CD (white label, gold 9).
What version of OS 9 was on the hard drive - OS 9.2.1, or OS 9.2.2?
What version OS 9 Install CD do you have available?

I can't play song in library ,they said can't find the original file,help me pls bec over one thousand song can't play

iTunes doesn't import it INTO the Library, it keeps it in it's original place and just adds the song into it, try and find them again and re-add them into your library.

Can't Find New Domain File

I am in the process of building a new website in iWeb '09 for the first time since upgrading to Lion but can't find the domain file I'm working on so as to make a backup. I have run the script that makes the Library folder visible, since Lion hides this folder, but the Application Support folder in Library doesn't contain a folder for iWeb. I have searched and searched for domains and .site files with no luck. Fortunately, I can open the new site in iWeb and update and publish, but I have no idea where it is finding the domain file that it is opening. As you can imagine, I'm very uneasy about not being able to back up the site as I invest more work into it.
I have two other iWeb sites that were created prior to the Lion upgrade. Each is in a separate account on my iMac. I had moved the domain files for these sites out of the Library/Application Support/iWeb folders to more easily accessible folders prior to the Lion upgrade, so they are fine.
It's the new site that is causing me concern.
Interestingly, when I move one of the old domains to a new account on my iMac as a test, when I double click on it, iWeb launches but wants me to create a new website rather than opening the site associated with the old domain file.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Use the freeware app Find File to track down the Domain - or Domain.sites2 - file...
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file
See this page for info about opening Domain files using Lion and Mountain Lion...
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file
Also note that you don't have to run a script to show the user Library. Just open the Finder Go menu while holding down the option key.
On the same page you will find a link to the freeware Mountain Tweaks which will hide/show the library plus a lot of other exciting tweaks.

Can't find my data file to back up, so I can uninstall and reinstall the software. (Windows, Vista & Palm version 6.0.1)

I can't find my data file, in order to back it up. After going to Documents - Palm One, the only thing that looks like a user name is a file with no data. Somewhere there has to be another file with all my data, since data is available when I open the Palm One software on my computer. After backing it up, I want to uninstall and reinstall the Palm One software. I'm hoping this resolves my inabilty hot sync. Thanks! Lauraflavin.

If you're using XP, your data is here:

How can i find out the file size of a Keynote on an iPad please?

How can i find out the file size of a Keynote on an iPad please?

I think a rule of thumb is what you're looking for.
Full bandwidth CD audio (AIFF): about 10 MB/min
Apple Lossless: about 5 MB/min
MP3 @ 256k: about 2 MB/min
MP3 @ 128k: about 1 MB/min
Of course the MP3 file size is exactly linear with bit rate.
As for sound quality:
Apple Lossless is, as the name says, lossless.
MP3 @128k: fine for listening in the car or the kitchen etc. If you have an audiophile sound system, this will remind you why you spent all that money.
MP3 @256K: barely distinguishable from CD on very good equipment.
MP3 @320K: probably not distinguishable from CD.
I presume that since you're talking about importing classical CDs these are ones you own. Remember you can always do it again if you need higher fidelity or if better technology comes out. I import most CDs at 128k, since most of my MP3 listening is in the car, or walking, or as background. And I can always play the CD if I want to sit and listen.
The logic for purchased music is totally different -- you probably won't get to upgrade that without buying it some different way. So buying 128k MP3s (or AACs) is something you'll probably regret later. Buying 256k MP3s is a lot less problematic.

I can´t find windows support files for boot camp

I can´t find windows support files for boot camp

Boot Camp Assistant
If you can't download, go to Network control panel and check your settings there, look to see if there is more than one interface listed. And turn off "Auto-proxy setting" and see if that helps, it does in half the cases.
The only thing really needed would be a small Apple Software Update for Windows program to pull the drivers down while running Windows. Just that one program, which could update itself as happen with 2.0 and 2.1 version.
As it is, downloads can take 8 hrs for a tiny 620MB package. Strange. True. Been like this.

Can't find a zip file with latest document on datamining business example

I had found a zip file that had something like 30 pdf's in it that were very helpful and can't find it again. It had the latest example of how to do a promotional study of sales from an electronic store. I remember it showed a graph of quickly showing percentage of male and female's in the population for study.
Thanks and sorry for being forgetful.

I think you may want to post this on the data mining forum.
