How do I re-open my domain after moving it to another computer?

I recently got a new computer and saved my domain from my old computer on the desktop as domain copy.  iWeb is not opening it! Any suggestions as to how I can open it?

In Lion the 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.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time 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.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file 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.
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 compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
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.

  • Can't open Numbers file after moving it back to Mac from Dropbox

    Please help!  Can't open Numbers file after moving it back to iMac from Dropbox.   Says I need the newer version of Numbers each time I tried to open the file.  I am 100% sure that I had the newest version.   Spoke to the AppleCare guy and after doing the checks he is also sure that I had the latest version of Numbers and AppleCare can't help.  He suggested that maybe i should run it on a file repair program...any suggestion?... please help...

    I've read reports of people having trouble when storing Numbers 3 documents on Dropbox.  I think it's related to the fact that they're not really "files."  They're "packages" that look like files. I had thought that Dropbox had cleared this up with their latest update. You should be on Dropbox version 2.4 or later.
    If you have Time Machine you may have some luck going back in time and restoring the document from a previous version.
    Storing Numbers documents on iCloud works much better, at least for me, and (unlike Dropbox) iCloud facilitates automatic syncing to other Macs and iOS devices signed into the same Apple ID.
    Perhaps you could consider keeping Numbers documents in iCloud instead. iCloud is deeply integrated into the app, and now works well.

  • How to sync apps to ipad which is synced before by another computer without losing data

    how to sync apps to ipad which is synced before by another computer without losing data

    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
    That should do it.

  • How do I know if the program has been downloaded to another computer or not?

    How do I know if the program has been downloaded to another computer or not? Also how do I know if it is the educational version or not?

    What exactly? Your questions don't make much sense since you failed to provide an explanation what problem you actually have, what program you actually mean and so on. That aside, edu versions are technically not different from the normal programs, just their licensing is different.

  • I have an iphone and ipad but no other computer at home.  I used to have itunes on my work computer. How to I access and make changes to my itunes without another computer?  thanks

    At this point you have the option of keeping a device optimized version (lower resolution version) of your photo on your phone while iCloud stores a full resolution version.  Or keeping the full resolution version on both your phone and the iCloud. If you delete the photo on your phone it will be deleted on the iCloud. I know, bummer. Also it should be noted that the photos app and the library are still in beta and to this point i see why.  I would use dropbox or a smiliar app for off device storage.
    So far this is how it has been working/not working for me.  Whether or not I choose to keep originals or optimized on my phone it will only keep the originals and it has only been uploading lower resolution versions of my photos to the iCloud library.  Seems to be working in reverse.
    Again these are still in beta so i am hopeful that this will be fixed in the near future.
    I hope this helps.

  • How I do to open a website created with iWeb in other computer

    Hi,
    My web site was created with iWeb last year in other computer, a dead MacBook. I have a copy of my web files created with iWeb, and moved to my new computer, iMac.
    Now I want to edit my web using iWeb, but I can´t find the way to open the files to modify and actualize my web, etc...
    Does anyone know how to do this? can iWeb open and edit a web site created by itself?
    Help will be appreciated,

    Felix ~ No, only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
    “Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but *there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb*. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.”
    If you don't have a backup of your Domain file (e.g. via Time Machine), paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

  • IWeb site opens blank site after moving to new computer

    Hi,
    I copied my iWeb domain file to a new computer and now when I open it, it opens to a blank site as if I've never created anything before.
    To make maters worse, in the process of following advice from others and deleting preference files etc, I've messed things up to the point that my iWeb site no longer works on the original computer . However, I have used Time Machine to retrieve a copy of the domain file from three months ago (when I can be sure it was working). Problem is, I can't get it to work on either computer.
    I would appreciate any advice and direction as I've got over six years of work into this particular site.
    Message was edited by: pgreensoup

    What you need is the Domain.sites2 file from your old computer. It will be located in the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Copy it to the same folder on your new Mac replacing the domain file that is currently there.
    If you don't have a copy of that file you'll have to rebuild your site from scratch. However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing image, audio and/or video files in the published site in the reconstruction of the site.

  • Why doesn't CD burned with iTunes open with track data in iTunes on another computer?

    I brought an album of 11 original songs in cda format into iTunes - I then addeded all the data to each song - artist composer genre etc.  and burned an audio CD from the playlist.  When I play it in the car CD player it displays the song names.  When I load it back into iTunes on my computer all the data shows.  When I load it into another computer with iTunes - all it shows is the original file names ie Track01 Track02 etc.  How come?

    Thing that baffles me is that the CD opensin itunes in the computer that created it displaying the full data - but shows track numbers only on another computer - when opened in itunes. 
    On the computer that created it, the info is stored in a file, not on the CD itself.

  • TS2972 How do I use home sharing to move a movie to another computer

    I am trying to move my digital copy of The hunger games to another computer through home sharing is this posssible?

    The short answer: because Home Sharing isn't designed for sharing apps, and apps aren't designed to be shared.
    The longer answer:  Think of it like this...
    You download some music in iTunes.  With Home Sharing, another user can listen to it by streaming it over the network.  But the data itself is on your computer.  If you turn off the computer or take it off the network, the other user can't access it.
    But if you send another user the app, they aren't just streaming the data- they installed it on their iOS device.  Because they weren't the one that purchased it, such a transfer could easily be considered "piracy" or "stealing," and nobody likes that (least of all, Apple). 
    When iTunes sees this app, it obviously recognized it, as if saying, "Hey, how did you get this app on your device, if I have no record of you purchasing/downloading it from the iTunes store?"

  • "Software Usage Metrics initialize failed" error when open Report Manager, after moving ReportServer from SSRS 2008 to SSRS 2012 (Native Mode)

    I've asked this question in SQL Server Upgrade forume, I'm asking here as well:
    Your help is highly appreciated!
    After migrating ReportServer db from 2008 to 2012, when access Report Manager throughhttp://myserver:80/Reports, I got the error below:
    ui!ReportManager_0-3!11d8!02/04/2013-15:19:12:: e ERROR: Software Usage Metrics initialize failed
    The process is below:
    •I successfully installed SQL Server 2012 (64-bit) Enterprise as a Native Mode on a server who runs Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 (64-bit).
    •I restored "ReportServer2008To2012" and "ReportServer2008To2012TempDB" in SSRS 2012 from the db files backed up in SQL 2008. In SSRS 2008, I have SSRS Model, ad-hoc reports based on model, and I also have canned reports built through BIDS
    report server project.
    •I reconfigured both databases' Compatibility level to SQL Server 2012(110) from SQL Server 2008(100).
    •I configured SSRS through Reporting Services Configuration Manager as below:
      > I chosen "Use built-in account:" as Service Account
    > In "Database" tab, I selected "Choose an existing report server database" and choose "ReportServer2008To2012" db, I used "Windows Authentication" (my login has the System Administrator priviledge). I got all 4 parts
    success: Verifying database sku = Success; Generating rights scripts = Success; Applying connection rights = Success; Setting DSN = Success.
    > I went to "Scale-out Deployment" to check if the initializing succeed, I found nothing there.
    Here are what I did from different approaches:
    A •I went to "Encryption Keys" and restored the key I backed up from SSRS 2008, after retoring, I got two initialized instances: One is on my current server (SSRS 2012), the other one is from the old server (SSRS 2008).
       I deleted the old one(SSRS 2008) through "Remove Server" action and kept the one on my current server(SSRS 2012).
       After I restart SSRS service, and tried to connect Report Manager, I got "An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details."
       I checked the log file, the error is actually "ERROR: Software Usage Metrics initialize failed"
    B •I also tried to "Delete Encrypted Content" and did see the SSRS was initialized through checking it on "Scale-out Deployment", however when I tried to open Report Manager, I got the same error.
    Anyone had the same issue? Any solution? Thanks in advance!
