How to restore site in iWeb?

Hello.
My name is ALeks.
I have an issue with my site and I need an advice how to minimise my recovery job.
I reinstalled Mac OS X and did not save my site. I want my system to be virgin.
I saved all my work (files) of course for future, except files from iWeb (I figured out that I should save "Domain").
I have of course all my site on my domain and have access to copy it to my computer.
How can I minimise my recovery job to restore it in iWeb to work further with my site?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

As you figured out correctly, you need the domain.sites2 file in
~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
to continue working in iWeb.
If that file is missing, you'll have to start from scratch.
To minimise the recovery job you have to copy/paste the objects and text from your current published webpages.

How to move sites from iWeb 1.x to iWeb 2.x

I just moved from an iMac G5 to the new Mid 07 Core 2 Duo aluminum.
I copied my user documents via network - as I did not have a firewire cable handly to do the full conversion.
However, iWeb 2 does not find my iWeb 1.x sites.
How to I port those over?
Where are the data files stored on the Mac (beisde the iDisk)?

You should find them under ~/Library/Application Support/iweb/
The default name is domain.sites. YOU SHOULD BACK THIS FILE UP. You can simply make a copy and rename it. When you open iWeb 2.0, it will upgrade your domain.sites to a domain.sites2 file, and your old file will be gone. A lot of us have been having major problems upgrading sites, so keep the old file around. Back it up and put it somewhere you won't click on it.
Apple just came up with an iWeb 2.0.1 upgrade which is supposed to fix some upgrade problems, but I am still having difficulties. In addition, the website I was working on in iWeb 2.0.0 is now missing lots of files when opened in iWeb 2.0.1
Also, in both versions of iWeb 2, the navigation bar cannot be viewed by visitors using Internet Explorer (see many other threads).
In short, I would hold off on upgrading if I were you, until further software updates.

How to restore uploaded iWeb sites as iWeb data on your computer.

My original internal HD died. Fortunately, I had data backed up with Time Machine. Unfortunately, I had turned off automatic backup because Time Machine was giving my computer problems and I'd forgotten to do a manual backup. So the last backup my Time Machine did was in 2008. In that time when I Time Machine was turned off, I had created a few sites on iWeb and uploaded to my Mobile Me account. I now have a new HD and restored all my data from my Time Machine backup but the most up to date are from 2008. I've lost the iWeb files created in 2009. Is it possible to restore my iWeb files to my computer from the files I uploaded to the Mobile Me server? If so, how would I do it? Hope there's a way. Thanks.

As you already found out you'll have to rebuild 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.
Also it might be a good time to develop a backup strategy.

How I restore my iWeb site?

Hi!
I have made my site with iWeb one year ago.
Now I had to make fresh install of OSX so how can I restore all material
back to my empty iWeb?

Unless you have a backup copy of the Domain.sites2 file that resided in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder you will have to rebuild your site from scratch. 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.

Created site in iweb 08 and posted to netfirms... the pages are all loaded up but there is no nav bar, it comes up on each page as a small black dot. How do I get the nav bar to load up and show?

I created site in iweb 08 and posted to netfirms... the pages are all loaded up but there is no nav bar, where the nav bar should be is only a small black dot on each page. How do I get the nav bar to load up and show? It was a disaster loading up my site as it changed the case of the letters and at first no pages were seen, so I had to go through and change the letters that were supposed to be cap, back to cap in every file. I don't know if this has something to do with it or not. The tech support doesn't have an answer. Please let me know if you have any ideas and solutions. Thanks bunches!

Whether, Is it possible to restore the site deleted from share point designer in site collection recycle bin. or
Is it possible to copy the site from Production server to test server.
Waiting for an response at the earlier.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Badri,
1.You could not restore site deleted from SharePoint designer in site collection, you can only restore the site deleted from
UI in site collection recycle bin, deleted from end user recycle bin.
2.You can export the site from production server, then import it to test server.

How do I get an iWeb site to show up on a google search?

How do I get an iWeb site to show up on a google search?

How soon will the GA page indicate that the code has been added and tracking started? I added the code to the my Demo and Tutorial Contents pages and GA still indicates that tracking hasn't been installed.
I am using the full url to the analytics.js file in the HTML snippet:
newScript.src = 'http://web.me.com/toad.hall/js/demoanalytics.js';
The file shows up in the Activity window. I've done the same for the contents page of my tutorial site with the same results. The two sites are Tutorials and Demo.
Any suggestions?

How do i save a iWEB site on an imac and then move to a laptop ?

how do i save a iWEB site on an imac ( to what folder and where) and then transfer to a laptop ?

You transfer it via CD or flash drive or whatever. You install it by simply dragging and dropping the file into the folder on the new machine which corresponds to the folder where you got in on the old one.

I have a password protected site in iweb, but how do I get my users to "sign out" so there not always logged in

I built a password protected site in iweb and its published through mobileme. How do I get users to "sign out" so there not always logged in

I wouldn't bother really - it would be best to concentrate your efforts now on finding another web host that you can move your site to because after the end of June this year, publishing to MobileMe won't be an option.
Have a look at GoDaddy, HostExcellence etc. and you can still password protect your website, but you just do this through your host/server rather than MMe.
Start looking now before it's too late!

How do i open my pre existing iWeb created site in iWeb? (computer got wiped entirely without backup)

I have a pre exisiting website that i built with iweb about 2 years ago. Within the last month my computer got wiped entirely. I was unable to do a backup before this happened because it froze up in the middle of a software update. How do i open my site in iweb to continue editing it?? It is still online, is there a way to import it? Thank you!

Unfortunately, iWeb does not have an import feature. So, the website will need to be recreated. With, it being online you may be able to copy and paste your content from the site online to the one that you will be recreating in iWeb.

How do I set the default site in iWeb '09

I have several sites built in iWeb, like most people do. However I want one specific site to be the default. How do I tell iWeb which folder to pick?
In addition to this question, I have iWeb on another computer that I would like to upload a site I've been working on too. However, I don't want the second computer to override the first.
It would be easier to show you...
my site is located here
- http://web.me.com/wlamagdeleine/
I want my default page to be located at...
- http://web.me.com/wlamagdeleine/Wayne
But I built a different page on a second Mac and I want to upload it as well, but not make it the default...
- http://web.me.com/wlamagdeleine/iwayne
How do I tell iWeb all of this?

If you have more than one domain file in different folders and want to open one of them in particular when you open the application, put a copy of its domain file into Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb
When you enter the URL...
http://web.me.com/username/
... the site whose index.html file exists in Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites opens.
When you upload the site - iwayne - its index.html file will replace the default. You need to keep a copy of the index file for the default site and upload it to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites by drag and drop after you publish changes to the site - iwayne.
To see the iwayne site in the browser you will enter the URL....
http://web.me.com/username/iwayne/PageName.html
... where iwayne is the name of the site in iWeb and PageName is the name of the Home page.

How can I edit my iweb published site when the domain file is empty?

How can I edit my iweb site when the domain file opens up empty? I have the site backed up in mobile me, on my computer, and on an external hard drive.
How can I transfer these files into iweb?

Hi there,
To edit your site from one of your backed up versions, place the Domain file in User>Library>Application Support>iWeb & then launch iWeb. Update & publish.
