How do I connect iWeb Site back to iWeb?

When my internal hard drive crashed I replaced it with a new one and upgraded to Leopard. Unfortunately I can't change my website because iWeb 08 doesn't know were it is located. I have found the files in my iDisk. If I delete all the files in the folder located at iDisk/Web/Sites/Site will I then be able to create a new website from iWeb. Or, how can I connect those files to iWeb?
Thanks in advance.

Unless you have a backup copy of the domain.sites2 file you'll have to rebuild your website from scratch. iWeb cannot read the published site files, only create them. However, Chapter 2.3 of this iWeb FAQ site has tips on using some of the published files in the reconstruction of the site.

How can I get my site back (done with Iweb) on my new hard drive? I had to change my hard drive after droping my computer.

Can someone help me. I had to change my hard drive few weeks ago and lost everything. I made a site via iweb and my site is still on line but I don't know how can I get my site back on my iweb with my new hard drive.

Patrick ~ Welcome to the Support Commuities. Here's where iWeb's key Domain file (containing your site data) is usually located:
...But rather than backing up just that file, consider using Time Machine and/or SuperDuper.

Reformatted hardrive can i get my iweb site back?

i recently reformatted my computer and i went back into iweb to find that my site is no longer there. i know that formatting erases everything but i did use timemachine to make a backup of my entire drive before i did so. where can i find the files to open my site back in iweb or is there a way to pull it somehow off of my idisk where the content for my site is stored

i went to the application support folder on my mac HD and it didnt have a iWeb folder so i dragged the one from the time machine backup and opened up iWeb and it still didnt open my site.

My bookmarks are black, they used to be colored websites. How do I get the sites back?

MacBookPro, OS x Lion 10.7.5. My bookmarks are black. They used to be colored web pages. How so I get the color back? I have the lists of my bookmarks but it's a hassle to go through that list each time I want to go to a bookmark, especially since being used to the nice color sites.

Thank you for that answer, but it doesn't work that way for me.
I go to quite a few websites daily, which are also saved in my bookmarks. However, the favicons are still black. Favicons are not added when I go to my bookmarked site.
To explain this better.... when I go to a bookmarked site I need to scroll down the printed list, OR I simply don't use bookmarks. Instead type in a favorite site in the address when I'm on a different web page.
To make this short, I am using bookmarks less and less because it simply isn't working and bookmarks without the Favicons isn't simple to use.
I've searched and found others who have the same issue, and one answer has been to re-do Safari.
There should be a better answer than that.
Anyone else know of a fix for this situation?
Why not use Top Sites? A perfect example of what it was designed for.

Download My Deleted Site Back Into iWeb from .Mac?

I accidentally deleted my website from my computer but it's hosted on .Mac, is there a way to download it back into iWeb? That would be too easy....

If you're managing multiple sites you might consider iWebSites. I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want. I don't open iWeb directly but always thru iWebSites.

Can you export a published iweb website back into iweb?

I have created my own iweb website which I uploaded to my own domain using transmit. Since creating the page, I had a had drive die on me that I can't access and don't have my site in iweb to edit as I have resorted to a back up made just before I made the site. So I want to know if I can access the site from Transmit and put it back into iweb for editing the site?
This is my first site I have made entirely on my own and have been learning as I go. If I can't access the site as I made it, I may try accessing the files from Transmit one by one to re-make the pages.
Any help on this will me very much appreciated.
This is my site for anyone who wants to see:

Sure, you could syncronize in the opposite direction to get your html files and images, etc back on your Mac. But you will have to drag and drop, copy and paste to get that content back into iWeb.
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. If you want to work on your site on another computer, copy this file to a thumb drive to move it around.
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. Sadly, many many people learn this the hard way. Unfortunately, looks like you have too.
I have an Automator app on my site that will help you backup your Domain file(s). Click here to download it or visit http://iweb.varkgirl.com for more info. The app will make a .zip file of your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and save it to a location of your choosing.
Then check out Mozy for an online place to store your backups - I just found this and it seems great. They just recently released a Mac friendly version of their app - it automates the upload and encryption. You select the files you want to backup and it does the rest. You can set it to upload automatically after so many minutes of inactivity or once a day. It does it all in the background so you don't have to worry about it! 2GB of storage are free - plenty of room for most people's iWeb Domain.sites backups!

Cannot open different iweb site folder from iweb 8, help?

Hi

Thanks

Hi there,
If what you did is publishing to a folder and you're now trying to access those pages it's not gonna work...
The only way to move iWeb pages from one computer to another is to move the Domain.sites2 file where iWeb stores its files. To find that file go to
User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2
If you can’t find it here search for it with spotlight. Note that the extension .sites (iWeb 1.0) or .sites2 (iWeb 2.0) may be hidden, also search for Domain only. To see if a Domain file is iWeb ’06 or iWeb ’08 select the file press Command(Apple)+i under "Name & Extension" you will find that it is .sites or .sites2.
To get the site showing up in iWeb just open the Domain.sites file by double clicking on it and your sites and pages will show up on the left side in the iWeb page browser. Note that the location, where you put the file, doesn’t matter.
Note that you have to change permissions of the Domain file to be able to edit, save changes and publish a website from another user account and from another computer as well.
Select Domain file press Command(Apple)+i under Ownership & Permissions go to =>Details =>Others and select Read & Write
You have to do that in the original user account and computer in which the Domain file was created.
If you don’t change permissions you will find an error while publishing and saving.

Cédric

Problems with my Iweb site after using Iweb Seo Tool!!

I just used the Iweb Seo Tool with my Iweb 09. I followed the Seo webpage instructions to use it. I published it and everything seemed to work well.
I added Google analytics and used every option available that the tool offers
As of today. When trying to use my bookmarked link in my bookmarks toolbar, it didnt work.I entered my site into the address bar and my site loaded fine.
But...I have some problems.
My comments in my blog have disapeared
I cant log into my MobileMe account through my system preferences
My password and use name are rejected
I can log into my site through MobileMe.com and I have even changed my password.
I have tried to publish my Iweb site and I get the error "Couldnt reach the MobileMe configuration server"
I publish using my idisk and mobileme account
I have looked on other forums and found out that if i move my "cache" from my "home" folder, to the desktop that it should work... no luck!!
Please Help!!!!
my website is www.kulturetattoo.com if you want to see where my comments are. They are listed under "testimonials" on my home page
Can I just delete the Iweb Seo Tool and get rid of any metatags, google analytics and everything else? and have my old website back?

iWeb SEO Tool can modify your site after you've published to MobileMe. It will do it on the MMe server. Takes longer but you can avoid having to publish to a folder and then uploading from there. Also the latest version, 1.7.2, is supposed to work with blog pages according to the developer: http://www.ragesw.com/products/iweb-seo-tool.html

Old iweb site into new iweb?

Recently had to redo my computer. My iweb site is out there on mobile me and I downloaded the folder. I can't figure out how to set it up so iweb will open this site so I can update it...

Unless you have the domain file that was used to create your site you will have to rebuild it from scratch. iWeb can't read/import html file. However, 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 creation of the new site.

Is it possible to nest an iWeb site into another iWeb site?

Hello,
Is ist possible to nest iWeb sites?
Let's assume I have two iWeb sites, called site A and site B. Site A is my main site, and I would like to insert site B into A, so that 'site B' appears in the navigator, and that clicking site B in site A's navigator will take me to site B?
I could drag all of site B's content elements (blog, albums etc) to A, but this would make them appear all in site A's navigator, which would give a clutter of section titles.
Suggestions?
Best wishes,
Olaf.

What you do is get rid of the standard navigation by unchecking the "display navigation menu" box of the "page" inspector for each page of your site.
Build a new navigation in a text box with links to all the pages in Site A plus a link to site B. Copy and paste this navigation to all the pages of your site.
Repeat for site B.

IWeb sites Back Up

Perhaps someone can help me with this...
I'm planning to wipe my PowerBook G4 (and re-install everything) and am backing up files on my external HD. Looking for my iWeb files all I get is a file called "Domain" is this the only one I have to drag-and-drop save? How else can I back up these files.
Or, when I just open iWeb back up later once it's been re-installed, will iWeb automatically detach my files (perhaps saved on .Mac already?)?????
Thanks for the help!
Dan in Japan

Yes!
The only file you need to back up to preserve all of your iWeb work is that single Domain file. It is located on your hard drive in the /Users/username/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ folder pathway. Just drag this file over to your external HD to back it up. Then once you get your computer loaded back up, just drag this Domain file back into the same folder pathway. When you launch iWeb, your site will be right where you left it.
Congratulations for asking and figuring this all out BEFORE erasing everything! Always pays to backup!

How do I connect to and back up to a hard drive on another Mac?

I have a 1.5 TB external hard drive connected to my iMac. I have it divided into 2 750 GB partitions. I am backing up my iMac to on partition and would like to back my Macbook Pro up to the other 750. How can I do this wirelessly? Thanks.

On the destination, set up Sharing -> File Sharing
On the source, connect to the destination and to the specific external drive using Finder.
Go to Time Machine Preferences and select the external drive as the TM drive
Add that external drive in System Preferences -> Accounts -> Login Items (drag the connected drive from the desktop to the Login Items list).

How to create iWEB site from OLD iWEB site? (Hosted)

Okay, so the domain is corrupt.
I have the site hosted and downloaded it via FTP, wondering two things, well one really, is there a way to rebuild the site since I have all the folders, assets, html pages, and images? If so, how?
I suppose I can rebuild it page by page but want to change the theme and since I have the folders, was wondering if there was a way I can take the downloaded pages and somehow drag them to iWEB or some other MAC WEB program.
Please advise, also, any other cool programs for iWEB or web design similar to Pulp Motion, Banner Zest, and how to make a site use flash without flash?
Am also curious what else there is out there so the site doesn't look so iWeb and have the ability to change the fonts on say, WELCOME< ABOUT, HOME, and also use flash.
Have used dream weaver, not to inspiring albeit the standard.
Thanks

I suddenly am not able to load the California Lottery site. Regardless of what I do, the site comes up as unable to load. How did I lose it and how do I get it back?

bobjbkln - Your link will not help. The supject is:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
but the poster says he has a Mac with OSX 10.5.
For the original poster (OP), try posing in the iTunes form since now you have an iTunes problem, not an iPod problem.
