How do I get mt web site to appear when opening iWeb to edit?

I can still access my web site (iWeb 3.0.4) on line but it does not open on my computer when I click on iWeb.  I just get a window to publish to MobileMe with the icon for a new site in the upper left. How do I find and open my original site?  I have put years of work into it.
MacBook Pro, OS 10.6.8

The file you need toi backup is name domain.sites2 and is located in your Users/Home() /Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.  Without that file you won't be able to continue to edit and maintain your website.
However, remember this:
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home()/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
So if you're running Lion or Mt Lion you'll need to make that library visible before you can find and backup the domain.sites2 file.

  • How do I get home page window to appear when opening FF?

    How do I get my homepage window to appear when I open FF?
    When I go to the dock and click on the FF icon,
    ''Firefox ''appears in the menu bar but there is no home page window showing. I have to go to ''File'' and select ''New Window'' to get to my home page window.
    In FF Preferences I have selected:
    "Show my home page" and the correct home page address is shown.
    I deleted FF application/program (dragged to trash can) and then re-installed it. That did not help.
    I occasionally use Safari and there is no problem with the home page showing right away when I open Safari.

    THAT you can't change. Silly of Apple not to provide a setting to back out the animation effects either as a whole or individually.

  • My files, photos, email files, software programs, and all information did NOT transfer over to Mavericks (from Mt. Lion).  How do I get all my stuff to appear when using Mavericks?

    My email did transfer over.
    Thank you.

    First click on the Apple > Logout and Log back in or restart the unit see if that solves it.  If it doesn't do you have a backup of your system prior to upgrade?  Check Disk Utility and see how much space is being used to make sure the drive wasn't somehow erased.

  • How do I get the song titles to appear when I burn a playlist from iTunes?

    I burned a playlist from iTunes, and the song titles on the burned CD changed to Track 1, Track 2, Track 3, etc. How can I get the song titles to appear as they do in iTunes? Is this really too much to ask from the world's leading music player software?

    If you are burning an audio CD, you cannot as audio CDs do not have track names. Nothing to do with Apple.

  • How do I link my web site to a new computer/iweb versin ?

    I have owned multiple computers since putting up my website via iWeb. The original computer is now gone. Non of my current computers host the website any longer. The files are completely on the idisk server thus, I can't edit the site.
    How do I get my computer or computers to have access to the "Site" folder in my idisk so iWeb '09 can regain the ability to design/alter the pages there ?
    Thanks.

    There is no way to alter your pages using iWeb unless you have copy of the Domain file that was used to create them somewhere. Keeping backups of that file, located in Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb is essential. If you don't have one, you will have to recreate the site.

  • How do I get read of babylon searchthat appears when I open firefox 5?

    It is very annoying ,specially because I am not able to restore the web sites I was looking because babylon takes over firefox and opens instead of the firefox first page . Please help, because I have uninstalled evrything and don't know what else todo.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How can I get firefox to highlight downloaded file when opening containing folder in linux mint 13

    When I use open containing folder to locate the download, the file is not highlighted which, given the size of my downloads folder, makes it a chore to locate the file (especially when you've forgotten what it's named).
    The file manager I'm using is nemo.
    I can manually run nemo with the full path to the file as the second parameter via the command line and it will highlight the file.
    Is there a config option somewhere that I can change to pass in the full file path and not just the containing folder path?

    I have the exact same problem.
    The source of the problem is that on Linux there is no single file manager.
    I tried to determine if firefox uses xdg-open or some other technique by searching the source but have not found it yet.
    If the proper call is used, for most file explorers this function can be realised.
    If xdg-open is used, it should be patched, which I also tried and has not yielded results yet.
    What would help me pick this up further is the answer to the question: what does firefox use to open the file in the download manager?

  • How do I get Apache web server working ...

    How do I get Apache web server working on my MacBook Pro, which is running Leopard 10.5.8?
    When I enter 'http://localhost/~username/' (without the quote marks) as a URL in my Firefox browser on the MacBook, I do not see any result at all(!). I do have Web Sharing on in System Preferences on that machine. But the browser does nothing whatever for that URL ...
    On my other computer, an iMac running Leopard 10.5.8, when I enter 'http://localhost/~username/' I see the default "Your Website Here" page. That same default page is in fact the index.html file I expect to see on the MacBook Pro. But it isn't getting invoked for some reason. Nothing is happening ...
    When on the iMac I try 'http://10.0.1.18/~username/' (10.0.1.18 is the local IP address I see under 'Web Sharing: On' on the MacBook) I get "Unable to connect: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 10.0.1.18."
    When on the MacBook I try 'http://10.0.1.5/~username/' (10.0.1.5 is the local IP address I see under 'Web Sharing: On' on the MacBook) I see the default "Your Website Here" page.
    It is the same on my iPhone: Using the same local IP addresses and usernames, Safari can see the index.html page on my iMac but not on my MacBook.
    It looks as if Apache is not working on the MacBook, while on the iMac it works fine.
    On the MacBook I can see (after I use 'defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE' in Terminal) a /private/etc/apache2/ directory with what look to be(?) the usual contents. So it looks like Apache is duly installed, as far as I can tell.
    On the MacBook I don't see a file at /private/var/log/apache2/error_log, which is the location for 'ErrorLog' given in the httpd.conf file.
    That about exhausts my understanding of how to get a handle on my problem.
    Any advice or suggestions from those who have more expertise with Apache will be much appreciated ...

    Okai, so we are getting somewhere, but not quit there yet :-)
    I opened the Kenneth.conf file using the command: vi Kenneth.conf
    This is what it said:
    <Directory "/Users/Kenneth/Sites/">
    Options Indexes Multiviews
    AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    </Directory>
    "Kenneth.conf" [readonly] 6L, 139C
    I therefore changed the AllowOverride from AuthConfig Limit to None, which was the only difference from what you posted above. Something did change, when I tried to open XAMPP it prompted me a password, but Apache still wont start :-/

  • How do I get a link within a PDF to open a new tab in a web browser?

    How do I get a link within a PDF to open a new tab in a web browser? Previous forums (for earlier versions of InDesign and Acrobat) mention something about JavaScript, but I'm using InDesign CC and Adobe Acrobat Pro CC
    Thanks.

    When you're looking at the PDF that's on your site, is it opened in the browser or directly i Acrobat/Reader? If in the borwser, do you know if it's being viewed in the browser's default PDF viewer or Acrobat/Reader? It probably won't work in non-Adobe PDF viewers.
    Are you saying that when you click the link that two new browser tabs are opened with the same URL, instead of just one as you'd expect, or something else?

  • How to complain about bad web site

    A web site came up when searching for another website. The website pretended to have the name of the site I was looking for. When I selected the false link I was taken to www.mawords.com which showed a header that implied it was the site I was looking for. When I clicked to exit the page another page blasting an ad opened in a new tab that took over my screen. I was forced to endure the unwanted advertizement until I found a way to escape (close) the tab.
    This is a bad experience especially for the average (novice) web user. How can mozilla users complain about these kind of pouncing and abusive web marketers?

    Hi agitator, there are a few things that you can do to report that site. The first thing that you can do is to report it to Firefox/Mozilla. You can do this by going to the area where you can get to the settings on Firefox. You do not want to click on Firefox. Insted what you want to do is click on the question mark. This is the help area. One of the options on this is "report a web forgery" . That information will go to Mozilla so that we can help other people avoid that site. If you want to report it to law enforcement and you live in the USA you can go to [http://ic3.gov ic3.gov] .

    Hi Ginette,
    The site that you are referring to does not appear to be a template that you can get your hands on, however, I will suggest that you contact the owner via their contact us page and see what can be done.
