Help with iWeb domain

Hi like many I am suffering from the Iweb problem of being unable to open domain files with iweb.
I'm using Lion latest version etc..
Im currently on the road away from my main machine..where my original site is..
I DO have my Time Machine external drive with me..
was wondering can i locate the same domain file that i use on my home mac on my time machine external drive?
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..
I did manage to try Domain cracker which opened an older version of my domain but would not save any changes..
I hope someone can help..
Its a shame iweb isnt being used by Apple anymore many of the design functions are similar to ibook author and other stuff etc..
Its easy to use..i dont want to go to wordpress and other web editors are at this time cumbersome..
anyhow any suggestions on omy question would be greatly appreciated..

Read this topic :
Can't Open domain files
Then locate the domain file in Time Machine.
Its a shame iweb isnt being used by Apple anymore many of the design functions are similar to ibook author and other stuff etc..
Yes, a lot of functions are similar. Have been since 1984 with the introduction of Word processing and DTP applications. I consider myself lucky I was around at that time. Now I can apply most of the functions in current day applications.

Problem with iWeb domain titles

Greetings, I'm hoping someone can help me. I recently replaced my old website with one that I created in iweb. However, as you can see from the screenshot, every page has a redundant and rather unnecessary title tab for the website address. I upload to my host via FTP, and I'm wondering if that has something to do with it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

That is perfectly normal in iWeb and if you want it to change, don't name your site with your domain name within iWeb.
iWeb produces a sitename and you cannot leave this blank so when you publish to a local folder you get your site folder with the same name and the index.html file.
All you need do is to re-name your site in iWeb and then publish to a local folder and just upload that new site folder with the new name. Remember also that iWeb produces two index files, one that sits inside the site folder itself and then the other one that just points in towards the first page of the site and must sit outside the site folder.
This is totally normal in iWeb and is nothing that you have done - just change your site name to something different and more applicable to your site and then you won't get the double domain name.

Help with iWeb single file support

Hi all. I'm trying to make a single file document with html support to use as a cover letter for potential employers, I understand that .mhtml is not supported, is there an alternative so I can combine my entire site into a single file for easy distribution?

Open iWeb and go and publish your site from iWeb to your desktop and you then have one site folder, an index.html file and the assets file. Ditch the index and assets file and then you are just left with one site folder that has everything in it - so for a one page site you will have an index.html file, your one page.html and your one page folder, which contains the CSS for that page.
Burn this one site folder onto a DVD or however you want to distribute the site and both Mac and PC user will be able to open it with Safari, IE etc. As it is an html page it will open in a browser, so PC users will be able to see it.
If you were sharing your site with other Mac users, you could distribute the domain.sites file and other Mac users could then open this with iWeb, but it then depends on what version they have too - if you have made your site with iWeb 09 and they have iWeb 08, then they would not be able to open the domain file, as iWeb is not backward compatible.
Probably best to publish the site and distribute one site folder which everyone can get access to.

Help with .local domain fix

Hi,
I'm trying to inplement the fix that is decribed here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4041 about creating reverse lookup zones and pointers. Although there is information there about it, it links to Microsoft's website with details about it but they're pretty vague. I was wondering whether anyone would be able to provide assisstance to someone without much DNS experience?
Thanks.

The workarounds or fixes discussed in that technical note are all sequences over on Microsoft Windows Server and involve the Windows Server 2008 DNS server.
Which particular sequence are you trying with Windows Server, and what's confusing you about it? (So that somebody here might be able help with this.)
What OS X Server version? If you're trying to do IPv6 on 10.6.8, AFAIK that involves manually editing the zone files, and that can perturb Server Admin.app. Based on a quick look, there's no IPv6 AAAA record support in the GUI. (But you're probably using the Microsoft Windows Server DNS servers?)
Which Windows Server?
The best fix is to register a real domain and migrate the local network and the domain servers over to that. The Apple networking engineers have recommended against using .local for DNS for a while. They've indicated they try to make this work, but that it likely won't be reliable. Microsoft is moving away from this, as well.

Help! iWeb domain issues

My daughter is trying to edit a website created by someone who no longer goes to her college and will not give permission to the webpage. It is property of the college, but apparently that doesn't matter to this individual. Is there a work around to gain access to the domain rights if the original user is not available? Any ideas?

Are you talking about the Domain.sites2 file iWeb uses or the Domain name, the web address?
If the first, then you need the domain file to continue editing the website made with iWeb.
If the latter, consult a lawyer.
You may have to consult the laywer also if it is difficult to get the domain.sites2 file.

Help with Windows Domain Login on Mac

Hello Everyone,
We have two Mac Pros at my work running Mac OS 10.5.8 and they are attached to the Windows Server / Domain so when the Mac is turned on you login with your Domain credentials (using Win Server to Authenticate). Now all of this has been working fine since the computers were purchased a year ago, until two days ago that is. I turned on the Mac Pro in the morning and tried to login, and the Mac would freeze and do nothing. I restarted and tried again, using the same credentials I always use, but nothing worked. I called the IT guys and had my windows user account reset thinking that the password was expired, still didn't help, so I asked them to reset the whole account, still didn't help.
At this point I asked a few of my co-workers to login on my Mac using their login info, and they had no problems at all. I decided to dig deeper into this problem and logging in under a "local" Mac account I went into the "Accounts" preferences to check what was going on, to my surprise my Domain account was visible (normally it wasn't unless you were logged in) and under the account it said "sharing only".
I am still trying to figure out why my Domain account was changed from "Admin, Managed" to "Sharing Only"? So I decided that the easy fix here was to use a previously made (and tested) image file which I created when the Mac Pro was first setup and all the software was installed. So after cloning the image to the Mac HD I turned on the Mac and tried to login, again nothing happened. I can login using the local account, and my co-workers can login fine, but my domain login just refuses to work. I have also tired to login on other Macs in the department and I can login just fine on each one, the only Mac that doesn't let me login is my machine.
I have run out of ideas, short of re-installing the entire system from scratch.. which I really don't want to do unless I have to. But if anyone out there has any ideas I would more than welcome them.
Thanks in advance..

It's probably related to some type of DRM (copy-protection) on the digital copy, and not due to it being any particular type of file format. The DRM scheme probably only works under Windows. And if that is the case, I don't think you will be able to get it to work under Mac OS X, short of running VMware Fusions or Parallels Desktop (or Sun's free VirtualBox) and installing Windows to run under Mac OS X.
Considering the popularity of Macs recently, and higher use of Macs among creative folks, it's pretty stupid for the studio/distributor to make a key feature Windows-only.

Need help locationg iWeb domain files

I cannot find my iWeb domain files. According to all the support information they should be in an iWeb folder called Domains under Application Support, but I have no iWeb folder there. I've searched with Spotlight and everything else I can think of but have had no luck. Any idea how I can find the iWeb domain files?

Thank you Ethmoid.
Are you any good with HTML snippets?
I am using the following code to create a pop up window.
<div style="width:50px; height:20px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; text-align:center; color:#999999;">
<style type="text/css">
a:link {
color: #999999;
text-decoration: none;
a:hover {
color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: underline;
a:visited {
color: #999999;
text-decoration: none;
</style>
<A HREF="#" onClick="window.open('http://www.northgateshoppingcentre.net.au/Northgate/Legal.html','_blank','toolba r=0, location=0, directories=0, status=0, scrollbars=1, resizable=0, copyhistory=0, menuBar=0, width=450, height=300');return(false)">Legal</A>
</div>
I see on some websites that these windows pop up to a specified location i.e. the centre of the page and they also do not have the grey navigation bar at the top or the close, expand and minimise options. Do you know how to modify the code so that i can remove these and adjust the location?
Thank you

Help with iWeb

I just built my first website with iWeb and am looking for feedback. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
http://www.educatedroofingsystems.com

Hey there,
You have some interesting elements, but the site could use a little work on focusing what reaction and response you are trying to get from your visitors. If the site is intended to be a basic, un-intimidating web based business card, then you could call it a success. If you want to engage your potential customers and clients, you might ask yourself how intriguing is the site to serving the questions in the mind of your clientele visitor. On that side of things, I would say the site needs a little something. I suggest you start by going to http://attentionwizard.com, do a free heat map and read through some of their materials about site attention and effectiveness. I am not affiliated with the people at attentionwizard.com, but I fully believe they know what they are talking about.

Help with iWeb gallery

Hi all - this is my first post on here but i've used it for help and pointers with iWeb for some time. I'm just creating a website for my design portfolio and would really like to incorporate a gallery like the one that appears at the following link:
http://www.arizona-software.ch/photopresenter/screenshots.html
Does anyone know of what this gallery might be called? My knowledge of web design is extremely limited so if someone could let me know their thoughts (phrased 'for dummies') that would be great.
Many thanks in advance
Sam

Yes it does.
By the way, do you plan to publish to .mac.
Iphoto galleries do have that option as one of about three, but the user would have to select it.
If you haven't tired one you might. I think they look quite nice.
There are several different programs that will accomplish that, but if Iphoto will work for you it would be the easiest as it directly interfaces with Iweb.
There is a little freebe called "flash album exporter" that is a plug-in for Iphoto that will do exactly what you want, but you would have to manually upload and link it, which is not really a big deal.

good luck

Help with iweb.. opening old site on new computer

I made a iweb website on my old computer, i transfered files to my new computer's hardrive but it wont open in iweb. all saved as files html and opens the page on the web. how do i get the new version of iweb to recognize these files so i can make edits?

The short answer is that you don't and you can't. You have actually saved the wrong files, because iWeb has no import facility, so is unable to open html files at all.
The files that will have been saved and which you need to transfer are the domain.sites files and these can be found under your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Ensure that you do look in your User/Library and NOT your System Library, because iWeb is not there.
Find your domain.sites files and transfer these to your new Mac and then double click on the files to open them.
Have a look at other discussions for instructions on how to make your User Library file visible in both Lion and Mountain Lion.

Help with iWeb locked up

Made a mistake and tried to drag files to iWeb.......now I just get an error message and when I click OK......it shuts down iWeb with the same message when I restart iWeb.
Message = "Can’t open file “~/Desktop/AubracWebsiteFiles/All_About_The_Beef_files.”
Any help would be appreciated!

Double-click the domain files as instructed.
Or remove the file you tried to open in iWeb earlier.
Then iWeb will prompt for the domain file.
Or use iWebSites :

Help with iWeb page...

Hello out there in Cyberland...
I need some assistance...My Site (which was created in iWeb 3) does not completely work in Safari but works like a charm in Chrome. My Blog Page "Projects" will load ocassionally but if you go back to it after viewing another page...all of the entries have dissappeared!!! I switched Safari to 32 bit thinking this would help...no dice...please assist me if you can. I have also tried to update the Blog.js and have emptied the Safari Cache many times...all to no avail.
My site is www.kmpstudioproductions.com
I am running Safari 6 on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
Please ADVISE!!!
Thanks
KMP Studio Productions

Your site still works OK for me in Safari.
Reset Safari, quit, relaunch and then enter your website URL with a ? at the end of it.
So many people test their iWeb sites in Safari and there is hardly much point in doing so...
For testing local files, you should either set Firefox as your default browser or Chrome if you publish the files to your local server.
I have had problems with Safari 6 not clearing the cache properly. If you really make it jump through hoops it spins its wheels and locks up.
It is such a piece of c*#p I don't hardly use it all now and, judging by the above stats, neither does anybody else! Worry about IE instead.

Need Help With iWeb Haloscan Comments

I posted an earlier question on how to get the blog comments to work for my iWeb site. As it turns out, the reason I couldnt get them to work anymore is because I changed the actual blog format; i.e. I added extra html. I think this was the problem.
Someone suggested that I use Haloscan comments on my site instead, a suggestion which I've heard a number of times. I'm not familiar however with Haloscan comments or how they work.
Is there anyone here who's familiar with how they work, and could walk me through it step-by-step?
I promise that I'm an educated person! Nevertheless, I apologize that I'm so dumb when it comes to getting these ridiculous comments to work.
Thanks everyone for all the help!

Hi,
1. You basically go to the haloscan site and set up a free account. There are a number of customizations but don't worry about that now....you can go back later once you get more familiar w/ what you are doing.
http://www.haloscan.com/
2. Get iComment as Varkgirl suggested.
http://web.mac.com/cbrantly/iWeb/Software/iComment.html
The iComment page will give instructions on how to install the haloscan. But the gist is:
a. Make a textbox on your page and place the word "InsertCommentsHere" but leave off the quotation marks.
b. publish your site.
c. open iComment. A dialogue box will appear...press cancel.
d. pull down iComment>preferences from the menu
e. check haloscan area "add comments to my site" and put your Haloscan username in as prompted. Then press OK
f. Then you will choose which site you want the comments to go....that's it...all done for you iComment makes it very easy.
