How can i transfer an iweb page from my mac onto an ipad and work on from there?

In itues, and with your device connected, there should be a 'data transfer' section if you scroll down. Many apps that work with files support ways to get the files onto your device. If you have the app, i would gues that worst case scenrio you could mail it to yourself then send it from the mail to the app.

How can I transfer my iWeb site to iCloud?

The cloud doesn't do website hosting. You need to publish your site via the iWeb FTP or to a local folder and upload to a hosting account...

How do I transfer photos in iPhoto from my Mac Book to my iMac?

How do I transfer photos in iPhoto from my Mac Book to my iMac?

Depends on exactly what you want to transfer:
The Original files: Export from iPhoto on the MacBook (File -> Export, set the kind to Original) and copy the files to the iMac. Then import to the Library on the iMac
The Edited files: Export from iPhoto on the MacBook (File -> Export, set the kind to Jpeg or tiff, note the options for adding metadata to the export) and copy the files to the iMac. Then import to the Library on the iMac
Both and all the Metadata: Link the two Macs together and use iPhoto Library Manager

How to transfer an iWeb site from one MobileMe account to another.

I am creating an iWeb site for a friend. I am doing this using my mac and my MobileMe account. I understand that the iWeb site assets are all stored in my MobileMe iDisk. I want to take the finished site and transfer it to my friends computer and his MobileMe iDisk so he can manage it from there. How do I do this.

If you have your friends MobileMe login details, then you can publish the site to his MMe account directly from your Mac. Go to System Preferences and log out of your MMe account and then into his and then go back to iWeb and then publish the site directly to his MMe account.
As far as giving him the ability to manage the sites, just give him the relevant domain file for the site. Go to User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites and find the domain file and then you can e-mail it to his Mac and he can then put the domain file in the same place on his Mac.
Whatever you do, don't publish the site to your desktop - you won't be able to do anything with it. It is the domain file that you need if your friend wants to manage and alter the site in any way.

How do i transfer my bookmark toolbar from one computer on which i am running firefox to another computer of the same type that i am running firefox on?

when i installed firefox on my new macbook pro the bookmarks that i had set up in firefox on my old mac book pro did not appear.
How do i transfer these bookmarks to the new computer.

Here's what I do when transferring from one profile to another, on the same computer.
Go to "organize bookmarks", click on "bookmark toolbar", click on any bookmark in that category, click on menu "organize", click "select all", click on "organize" again, click "copy".
Then close firefox, start it again with the other profile, go to "organize bookmarks", click on "bookmark toolbar", click "organize", click "paste".
Now if you are moving to another computer, try save the copied content to a text file and move that text file to the other computer, then use "paste" inside firefox.
Good luck.

How can I import one iweb site from my laptop to my iMac, which already has four sites built on it?

I created a website on my laptop using iweb, and would like to export the project so I can import it into the iWeb on my iMac, which already has four other sites that I created in it. I can't seem to find any info or threads on being able to import just one project INTO my iWeb folder when there are already other sites I do not want to lose...anyone know how I can do this? I can only find info on exporting and importing the entire DOMAIN file...
Any help much appreciated.

Moving iWeb site from my iBook to my new iMac

Hi guys,
I'm having problems with moving my iWeb website to my new iMac. I have tried moving the domain file from the User>Library>Application Support>iWeb folder into the same location on my new computer and, yes, it does indeed work. However when I come to publish the site it appears that it cannot connect to MobileMe in order to upload. Am I doing something wrong? Any ideas as I really need to get my portfolio published online!
Thanks
Ben

Are you able to publish to a folder? If you can the problem is not with the domain file. So try the following:
1 - copy the domain file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Shared folder on your Mac.
2 - Create a new account on your mac or log into another existing account.
3 - go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log into your MMe account.
4 - move the Domain file from the Shared folder to your desktop and double click on it.
5 - try to publish from there.
Note: if you don't have permission to open that domain file you can set the permissions as follows:
download and run BatChmod on the Domaine.sites2 file with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name in the owner section and Staff in the group section. You can either type in the path to the file or just drag the file into that field.
If you're not able to publish then the issue is with iWeb and a reinstall of iWeb is warranted. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iWeb" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.
If you're able to publish from the other account then your primary account is suspect. It could be a preference file other than iWeb's. Here's how to determine if that's the case.
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - Make a duplicate copy of the Preferences A folder on the Desktop as a precautionary backup.
4 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
NOTE: you may have to drag the contents of the working folder to the trash and empty if moving the contents to the A folder only copies them instead of moving.
5 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here.
6 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.

Does anyone know how I can transfer VHS home movies from my VHS player via my iMac to a DVD

Does anyone know if 'Dazzle' works with Mac to transfer VHS tapes from a video player to a DVD via an iMac?

Also, I should mention that I spoke to an Apple rep. He sent me a link to download a driver for the Jukebox once we found out that the pc did not recognize the device when I plugged it into the USB port. He told me that once I upload the driver, it will recognize it and I can just copy and paste the songs into a folder, then import them to iTunes. So far it has not worked and when I tried to call back, it looks like morning is the soonest I can speak to someone. So I'm trying on here.

How do I transfer all my music from my macbook to my new iMac?

I used migration assitant, it seemed to work but I can't see any files from macbook in imac. Really just want all my music duplicated so its on the imac also.

I have never used Migration assistant but from my remembering what was said here it may set things up in a new account on your computer. If all you want is iTunes and you want it in that account:
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

Transfer iweb site from old mac to new mac

I was wondering if anyone knows how to transfer my iweb site from my old mac to a new one. I'm still using both computers.
Thank you for your help.

transfer the "domain" file located in your user library/application support/Iweb.
That contains the entire site.
Also one should always maintain a backup of the file. If it's lost your back to square one.

Merge iweb sites from multiple user accounts on same computer

With the previous iweb version, my children created their own iweb sites on their own users, but all under my own .mac account. It worked great.
But now with the new "upgraded" iweb '08, that isn't allowed anymore.
So, I created a new user on our computer for all of us to use to maintain our multiple iweb accounts on.
How can I move multiple iweb sites from multiple users on the same computer into one user?

Each of the user's work in iWeb will be contained in a single file, Domain.sites2, which can be found in this location on the hard drive for each user account. You will need to copy all of these Domain.sites2 files to an external drive, or, at the very least, burn them to a disk to make them transferable from one user account to another. A flash drive also works great for this.
Once you have made all of these Domain files accessible from the new user account that you created, you will still have a formidable task ahead of you, i.e., publishing separate sites, from separate Domain.sites2 files, to the same .Mac account/directory. In other words, bringing all of these Domain files together for access by a single user account will not solve the problem. You may very well be able to solve the problem with things the way they are, but it will involve some shuffling of Site's files on the iDisk prior to publishing.
The method I'm going to give you has worked well for me. So far, here in the forums, I've read posts from (2) other users who were also successful. Conversely, I know of at least (3) other users who have been unsuccessful with this approach. I sure hope it works for you.
Open System Preferences and go to .Mac. Turn syncing off, if it is on, and leave it off.
Now, in Finder, navigate to the current Site files on your iDisk, following this path:
Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/NameOfSiteFolder
Drag the Site folder that is named for your site, (not the directory Site folder), back one level on the iDisk, into the Web folder. This is where some run into difficulties--you may get an error message that the folder is "in use, and cannot be moved". I have never gotten this message, and am able to move my Site's folders around with no problem on the iDisk.
If you are successful moving the folder, choose one of your other accounts on your machine, launch iWeb, and Publish all to .Mac. The existing site on the server will not be deleted. Now, go back to the iDisk and move that site folder, (the one you just published), back one level, again, to the root Web directory. Publish your next site, from your next account.
When you are finished publishing sites, just move the Site folders back to their original location on the iDisk--Web/Sites/SiteFoldersHere. All sites will be accessible from a browser using the web.mac.com/username/nameofsite url.
It is important to use the Publish all to .Mac command in iWeb. A simple Publish to .Mac command will not put the correct index.html file in place on the server.
Post back and inform us of your success.

Transferring iweb site from 1 mobileme account to another

i need to transfer my iweb site from one mobile me account to another, but i dont want to buy it in HOPES that i can do it. I want to make sure i actually can.
anybody have experience in this?

Everything you made in iWeb is stored in a file on your hard disk.
You can find this file in it's default location.
../Yourusername/Library/Application Support/iWeb, the name of the file is Domain.sites2
You can freely copy/move this file to an other computer or an other user on the same computer with the other MobileMe account.
If you want to keep everything "as is" on your computer in iWeb and only want to change the MobileMe account: open System Preferences / tab MobileMe / 'log out' and 'log in' with the other account.
Kind regards,

IWeb site from second Mac

I have been messing about building another IWeb site on my old G4. If I rename the domain can I just transfer the second domain onto my iMac and run both sites from there. If so how will I be able to open them individually
Mike

Mike:
First, if you want to manage the sites from two computers without having to move the domain file(s) manually back and forth between Macs every time you make a change see Toad's Tutorial #20- Managing an iWeb Site From Two or More Macs with Dropbox-.
As long as you down try to work on the site from both computers at the same time (those with split or multiple personalities ) there's no problem.
Now for publishing each individually I use iWebSites to manage over 40 individual 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 original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process and move it to another location on your HD until you're satisfied the separation process is completed and what you want.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.
