How to transfer iWeb application to new MacBook

Hi
I am getting the MacBook Pro this week and would like to know how I could transfer the iWeb application and all my sites across (from my current MacBook), as the new iLife does not come with iWeb.
Cheers,
Mike

If you old Mac came with installation CD's, then install iWeb using these or if you want to transfer things, then hook the two machines up with a firewire cable and tranfer - it will ask you if you want to do this when you first set up your new Mac anyway.

  • How do I transfer iweb site to new macbook pro?

    I used migration assistant to transfer from old macbook to new macbook pro. Both are using lion. When I open iWeb on the new computer it does not show my site. Both computers are connected by firewire, where do I find the files? This site is not published to mobile me, it is hosted by godaddy.
    thanks
    Joe

    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. Once you've unhidden the library it's a simple matter of copying the domain file from your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on the old Mac to the same folder on the new one.  You may have to create an iWeb folder on the new Mac if there is not one.
    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.

  • How to transfer iphone content to new Macbook

    I've just replaced my PC laptop with a Macbook and I'd like to know how to transfer my iphone content to the Macbook. I've read various help pages and posts and I'm totally confused about the conflicting information.
    I understand that the iphone is designed to be used with only one computer, but getting it to the new computer is the challenge. I have thousands of songs, hundreds of photos, 150+ contacts and 13 apps (some of which I rely on heavily). As well as notes which I was never able to synchronise previously, so they only exist on the iphone.
    Most of the songs were loaded from my CD collection and it took weeks to rate and categorise them, which I would prefer to avoid doing again. I suppose I could export as data CDs but it's still a lot of disks and time. Most of the photos were taken by camera (not iphone) which again I could transfer via data CD.
    If I've understood things correctly, the authorise/deauthorise option in iTunes refers to items purchased via itunes only? And the iphone backup only backs up settings, rather than content? Would an external hard drive help (I don't yet have one)?? I'd appreciate your thoughts for a simple-ish, not to time consuming solution.
    Thanks in advance,
    Alison

    By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you replaced your computer, your phone, sees your computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else:
    http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
    Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
    1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in itunes(under the edit menu if using Windows).
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book & iCal) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    You should be good to go.

  • How to transfer data to a new MacBook Pro?

    My wife has a 12" Power PC G4.
    Running OS 10.5.8.
    She is receiving a brand new MacBook Pro today from Apple.
    How do we transfer all her "everything" from the G4  to the new computer?
    Thx,
    Steve

    Avoid the "Transfer from another Mac" when you set the machine up.
    If you don't have or want to set up the networking for the Internet when settingup the machine, just click the "Other Network" button until you get the "I don't have a nework" option.
    Unless you want your name all over the computer and viewable to everyone on a network, I would avoid the registration screen (you can do it at Apple.com) and use a nickname in the setup.
    Since the G4 PPC machine is rather old and the processor is differnet, you don't want to use "Transfer to my Mac" feature. Can't use the PPC programs on the new Intel Mac's.
    Place files from the G4 onto a USB thumb drive and transfer them manually to the new machine.

  • How to transfer itunes account to new macbook and ipad

    I have an itunes account which is linked with my iphone..  I have recently gotten a new macbook and ipad.  Is it possible to transfer from my current account to these new devices?  I do not have my old macbook which the itunes account originated from, only my iphone.  Do I have to create a new account?  Everytime I go to backup my iphone it says it will wipe out what is on it!!! I have  hundreds of songs, videos,apps etc etc etc.
    Thanks

    1) authorize iTunes on your new Mac for your iTunes store account (the one you used to purchase from the iTunes store)
    2) connect your iPhone and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it (as well as you iPad).

  • How To Transfer Ownership of Almost New Macbook?

    This guy is selling a macbook pro that he bought online at the apple store in December 2012. Its a core i7 2.6ghz 16gb ddr3, 256gb SSD and 1gb nVidia 650m card.
    He says I can upgrade the SSD if i want to. Also he says the warranty is good until one year from December so he says I have until December 2013 is this true? If he prints the receipt off for me (which he said he would) it has his name and address on it.
    I want to write this off for business purposes. How do I get the transfer into my name? If i need to take it to the genius bar I want it to be in my name.
    Thanks

    we are going in circles... because you keep tying registration and ownership as one...
    you: call apple to have your name and address registered to the MacBook. warranty follows the MacBook for how ever long. they will fix parts, replace parts, at apple store or by mail as you will be the main contact from then on
    to get money back for what ever reason
    original purchaser: contacts apple and documents that he is transferring ownership to you. he will need to supply apple with proof of purchase, personal info, etc  and that he is "transferring" it to you (more or less) as you will then be the new owner...

  • I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb.  Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro.  Is there a way?

    I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb.  Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro.  Is there a way?

    Firstly iWeb CAN'T IMPORT any kind of published html code as it has no import facility.  You can however add html code, javascript and css by selecting the html snippet and placing it on your page the entering the code in here and clicking on Apply.  You DO NOT create a shape as you say - you use the html snippet and place your code in there.
    There are not really a lot of ways in which you can write code - if you want to enter small amounts of code, then you would use an ordinary text editor to do this such as Text Edit on a Mac or Text Wrangler.  If you want to add code to iWeb like this, then you would either use the html snippet method in iWeb itself or you would have to publish the site to a local folder from iWeb and open the relevant html page with a text editor and add the additional code in this way and then publish.  However, if he decided to add the code with a text editor, then you would have to upload the pages directly to the server using an ftp client - if you try to upload the site directly from iWeb, all the extra code will be overwritten.
    As for checking whether the site was created using iWeb, all you need do is view the site in Safari and then click on View and then select View Source Code and it will tell you.
    Even thoough extra code was added to the site and he might well have done this by publishing to a local folder and adding the code with a text editor, he should still have the domain file for the site too.
    Ask again.  I'm sure that for adding quick code, most would not want to use programmes such as Dreamweaver, but a simple text editor will suffice.  As OT already said, if he claims that he does not have the domain.sites file, then try Flux 4 which is a web design programme and has full import facilities.  At least this way, if he just gives you the published version of the site, you have some way of opening it.
    You can download a free trial of Flux 4 and you can also purchase the full version from the Mac App Store if you decide you like it.

    In that case... Install it on your New Mac using the Disc(s) and have all your Serial Numbers handy in case you are asked for them during the Install.
    After the successful install... run Software Update to get any and all Updates... Then Restart your Mac and you should be good to go.

    Make sure your MBPr is connected to the Mains for this Long process...

  • Syncing applications with new MacBook

    I bought a new MacBook, and I have everything syncing with my iPhone except apps. I can't transfer music from the iPhone to the new MacBook, so I transferred my entire iTunes library, *including all apps*, from my old MacBook to the new one.
    Likewise with apps. They won't transfer from iPhone to new MacBook, and in the syncing process, the apps will be removed from the iPhone and will be reinstalled with the copy existing on the new MacBook.
    *I don't want to lose app data from my iPhone*, but I'd like to have apps synced with iTunes. If possible, how can I avoid losing app data from my iPhone and still be able to sync?
    Thanks.
