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.

  • Open old site in new iWeb?

    Hey guys,
    I just upgraded, but I can't seem to open the old site in the new iWeb. Please tell me I don't have to recreate everything...
    Thanks

    Your iWeb '06 site is stored in a domain.sites file which is in Home Folder/Library/Application Support iWeb.
    Before you attempt to launch iWeb '08, make a backup of this file and store it in a safe place - preferably on an external drive or CD/DVD.
    Clicking this file will launch it in iWeb '08 and it will be converted to domain.sites2.
    Once you have done this, there is no going back - hence the backup if the conversion is not successful.
    If you do not have this domain file you cannot launch your site in iWeb. Although your site is published to a folder and exists on .Mac or your server, you can't reverse this process - you have to have the domain file.

  • Help - how to open old site

    Have saved website as local site in computer with early version of free trial MUSE. Folder contains CSS, images, scripts & HTML files which open fine in web browser. I understand current MUSE will only open sites with .MUSE extension. Is there a way to open these files on new MUSE or is rebuilding from scratch the only option??????

    Muse does not have any feature to allow importing or opening a published site i.e. html/css/js pages. You would need to recreate the site from scratch in Muse.
    Thanks,

  • Editing old site on new computer

    I created a website on my G4 with iWeb 1.1.2. Have been trying to copy the site to my new macbook with iWeb 2.0.4, following instructions on other posts. The domain file is in the proper place, but when I open it iWeb opens up with its generic startup, not the established site. I've tried trashing prefs and repairing permissions, and restarting multiple times. Nothing. However, there were 2 domain files, the one of my site and one that was already there the first time I went to the location in library>application support>iweb - I assume that's a generic domain to get you started. When I trashed that other domain file, that fixed the problem. Just thought that might help someone else in the same situation

    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.

    How can I save a website created on iweb, but that I no longer have it saved in my computer, so I can open it in my new computer  with iweb
    and republish it on another server, since mobile me would be gone on jun 2012.

    You need the Domain.sites2 file that's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder in order to be able to manage and publish the site from another computer?
    Do you have that file? If you do copy it to the same folder on the other computer and you're ready to go.
    If not then you'll have to recreate the site from scratch.  Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site. 1

  • I cannot open pdf in my new computer in the internet. Help please

    I cannot open pdf in my new computer in the internet. I have Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 11. All it does is open up a blank page with a white x in a black square. How can I fix this?

    Hi Pat..When I tried to run Fix It the computer pops up a screen that says this trouble shooter does not apply to this computer .The article refers to Internet Explorer 10 and Im running Internet Explorer 11. I did try to see it it would fix my problem but the registry entry does not exist on my computer (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\TabProcGrowth) I can get as far as HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer but I dont have the option to choose Main. I only have the option to choose New Window which does not open up when clicked. Internet Explorer also has no value. Is there anything else I should try?
