How do I retrieve backed up iweb files onto a brand new Mac book?

Hello all. My Hard Drive died a few weeks ago, but luckily I backed up everything beforehand (we knew it was coming, but didn't have enough cash for a new mac before it died). Now, since I don't have a hard drive to do a migration, how do I go onto Mobile Me and get my backed up files. I saw them, and tried to download the zipped file, which worked fine, but iweb doesn't recognize that they are now on my computer.
What steps did I miss, or what should I do over?
Thanks,
Karen

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you backup the Domain.sites2 file that was in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder? If so, get it and place it in the iWeb folder on the new Macbook. Launch iWeb and it would find and load your site.
If you don't have a backup copy of the domain file you'll have to rebuild the site from scratch. However, Chapter 2.3 of this iWeb FAQ site has tips on using some of the published files in the reconstruction of the site.

    Have you tried a wired keyboard to turn on the BT system?  Macs can require some special key-combinations that *must* be seen before the OS starts and BT sometimes does not activate before the OS.

    I have a brand new mac book pro, I want to plug my iPhone into it & transfer everything from it onto the mac book, pics,music etc. I'm worried if I plug my phone into the Computer I will loose everything. How can I make sure this doesn't happen?

    When you plug your iPhone to Mac,click the Summary button and select “Manually manage music and videos".Then iTunes would never delete your original music.
    The most easy way to solve your problems is to move your music to your new Mac.Please refer to this article from Apple.com

    thank you

    That seems to be supported only up through 10.5.7 and probably needs Rosetta for it to run.
    Rosetta is not included in 10.7.
    If this is the case, you may need to partition your hard drive, install Windows on it, and use that partition for your work.

  • Need help retrieving 'backed-up' iWeb files

    In anticipation of iweb going away, I backed up my iweb files to an external drive.  Now, having purchased a brand new imac desktop computer, it did not come with iweb software. So, how do i "restore" any of my iweb files to the new imac desktop so that I can then view them, enjoy them, or upload them to a new server?

    Attach your hard drive to your new Mac and then copy the files over or just drop and drag.  If you have saved your published iWeb files, then you can open them in any browser that you have by opening the file and then clicking on any of the html pages - just double click and Safari or your chosen browser will open them.
    To upload to your server, then you'll need to download an ftp client like Cyberduck or Yummy ftp and upload to your server using this.
    Other than this and if you want to make any alterations to your files, then you needed to back up your domain.sites files from your old Mac that you should have transferrred to your new Mac.  These domain.sites files can be found under your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.  You'll also need a copy of iWeb on your new Mac - you can do this by using the installation discs from your old Mac and placing it on your new mac or if you still want iWeb go to Amazon and search for a copy of the iLife 11 boxed set and iWeb is included in this.

  • Trasfering files from PC to new Mac Book

    I'm running Tiger on my Mac. In Finder I have a "Network" icon under my iDisk icon. My brother just got a mac book pro running Snow Leopard. He tells me there is no Network icon. Is this replaced with something else in SL?
    Also, can someone point me to a KB article or other info on what he needs to do to transfer his personal files (pictures, etc.) from his PC to the new MBP?
    Thanks!

  • How to open again a back up web file after to restore my mac book?

    Somebody want to help me?

    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 didn't back this up, you will have to start all over.

  • How can I import Nikon D7000 NEF files into Elements 9 on MAC Book Air ?

    I have downloaded the DNG 6.5 converter as suggested, but the NEF files appear in Elements 9 as blank grey boxes.  These NEF files open in the same Elements 9 on my PC with Windows 7. 

    Thank you for your reply.  I have tried the update as suggested.   A complete failure. 
    Rebooted the computer many times and each attempt says that the update failed.
    Checked my registration for multiple computers  -  all okay.
    This is completely frustrating...

  • HT204053 how can i sync calendar and contacts between my iPhone and new Mac book pro?

    I use an iPad and iPhone to maintain my schedule and contacts. I just purchased a Macbook Pro...how do I sync info on my other devices with my Macbook?
    I have a current iCloud ID...
    Would the info from the calander on the iPad automatically "push" to the Macbook, if i have everything configured properly?
    Thanks

    Yes,
    you need to Sign Out of the wrong Apple ID - lower button in ICloud under system preferences.
    Otherwise you cannot change the current Apple ID
    Then you will be able to put a new apple ID and sign in.

  • How can I get my music from my ipod to my new mac book air??

    I bought a new macbook and can not figure out how to move my music from my ipod to the new computer?

    Hi.
    You will need some sort of third-party software to 'drag' your music out of your iPod.
    In order to make sure people don't use their iPods as giant portable disks to share 1000's of songs, they haven't made a function to extract your music from the device.
    As said, you'll need some sort of software to do so.
    I hope this was helpful.

  • My brand new mac book pro battery won't charge to 100% it only charges to 99%. What's wrong with it ad how do I fix it?

    My new MacBook pro won't charge to 100% battery it will only charge to 99%. Please help!

    Nothing is wrong, that is normal.  If you let it drop below 93%, it will recharge back to 100%.  It is a feature to prolong the life of the battery.
