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.

  • Using DW CS6; when uploading a site DW changes all dates to today; how can I upload without changing the file-dates?

    Using DW CS6; when uploading a site DW changes all dates to today;
    how can I upload the site whilst preserving existing file-dates?
    Thanks
    Paul

    How are you uploading?
    I do not see this behavior in DWCS4 or DWCC (I assume nothing changed in DWCS6 and then back for DWCC, but I could be wrong).
    However, when I upload, I only select the files I have modified after an initial "Upload Entire Site? Yes/No" prompt. If you aren't selecting specific files to upload, and you're overwriting the files on your server with new copies of your entire local site each time, the mod dates would show as the date/time of your upload.
    To select only the files that have changed since your last upload...
    1. Right click on your local root folder in the Files window under Local View
    2. Go to Select > Newer Local from the context menu
    3. Wait until DW is done talking to the server, it could take a while, when it's done, all of the files that have a newer mod date locally than their server counterparts will be selected
    4. Click the Put (up arrow) button
    For me, this process never changes the dates of files that aren't part of the upload.

    How can I upload my ipod shuffle tunes to my new computer? Old one crashed.

    Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, an external drive that you can copy onto your new computer ? If not, then depending on which country that you are in you might be able to re-download iTunes purchases from the store. Otherwise you will need to find a third-party program to copy the music off the iPod - this post from a couple of years mentions some that were around at the time, I don't know whether they still exist and work.

  • How can I upload a site I built with Iweb 08 onto iweb 09

    Hi,
    I built my site on iweb 08 and then upgraded to iweb 09 after fixing a bug.
    now my iweb doesnt recognize the pages i built with iweb, and i cant open those pages.
    can anyone help me?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
    3 - reboot.
    4 - launch iWeb and see if the domain file will open.
    If that doesn't help continue:
    5 - move the domain file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    6 - launch iWeb, create a new test site and save.
    7 - go to the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    8 - move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    9 - launch iWeb and try again.

  • Uploading a site with iweb

    I've created a site in iweb.
    Does anyone know how I upload it to my existing domain?
    Cheers
    Chris

    Chris ~ If, where your existing domain is registered, they also provide hosting, you can publish your site to a folder and then upload it via an FTP app to your host. Alternatively, you can publish to MobileMe and point your Domain name there. More info here:

  • How can I import my iweb site into iweb on my new laptop?

    I recently got a new MacBook Pro and transferred my files over from my PBG4 12-inch (great little laptop). However my iWeb files/site didn't seem to transfer over to my laptop. I found the files of on my PBG4, and thought I placed them in the correct folder on my one.
    Every time I open iWeb it asks to start a new site. How can I import my old iweb site into it and continue with it? Is there a way of doing it? I've a read a few posts some talk about the file 'Domain' in the Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.
    If I copy that file over to my new MacBook Pro, will my site be in iWeb again? I greatly appreciate some advice. Thanks.
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Isotopecrunch,
    Welcome to the iWeb forums!
    You are correct about referring to the Domain file; this is the file that contains all of your work created in iWeb, and the file that needs to be transferred to your new MacBook. There are some notes on how to do this here.
    Take the time also to make back up copies of this file, and keep them in a safe place.

  • I changed my .mac user name, how do I upload a site to the new .mac?

    So, I made a temporary .mac account as a trial. I decided to buy a 1 year subscription. I went to upload the webpage I created using the temporary .mac name using the NEW .mac user name and I can't figure how to get iWEb to recognize my new .mac user name.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi
    Under System Preferences > .Mac are you signed in as the .mac account that you want to use? I believe that is what iWeb uses to log in and upload the site.
    Cheers

  • How to restore a remote site after a crash?

    I have read the site management FAQ and it mentions to restore your files you can go to your remote site and load back to your local site.
    Could anyone offer some help to my situation?
    I suffered a hard drive failure, I'm running windows xp, dwcs4 and the site is hosted. I have reinstalled windows and dw. The site was created as per all the tutorials and I managed to save a copy of the site folder but not as per the saving instructions in the FAQ. I just have a root folder with all the pages in.
    Could someone point me to a tutorial or how to?
    Thanks in advance
    Jim

    "I managed to save a copy of the site folder but not as per the saving instructions in the FAQ. I just have a root folder with all the pages in."
    You lost me here. Not sure what you mean.
    Create a new site definition for local and remote sites, connect to your remote site then click Get. That's all you need to do.

  • Bring back iWeb site into iWeb

    Someone deleted my iWeb project file (Domain) and I am wondering if I can bring back the version I have on my .Mac server (my on-line site) and be able to build on it in iWeb again, rather than starting it from scratch. thanks

    No, it is not possible to bring the published iWeb files back into iWeb. However the content of your site (images, text, videos, etc.) is here:
    Finder > Go > iDisk > My iDisk > (wait) > Web > Sites > ...
    So you could copy the folders containing your content from your iDisk to your Desktop and start to rebuild your website in iWeb.

  • How to restore my Ipod touch into a new hard disk/computer?

    Guys, my Laptop's hard drive was crash and all my songs and applications were the only copy I had. However, I had no idea how to restore my musics and application back to the library after I had replace a new hard disk. I went through online to check out some solutions but basically they required a software to retrieve those music and they cost money. I don't think I deserve this since I had spent $70 to get a new hard disk. The worst was mostly they only able to restore musics and videos. I don't think they're able to restore the applications, please give me some advises. Thanks

    You should always maintain a backup. If you fail to do this you are asking to lose your data.
    You can transfer itunes purchases:
    File>Transfer Purchases
    Unlike music and videos, you can re-download apps:
