I am unable to open my iWeb-created web site, for which I have a backup.

My web site is online and I want to access it to make changes. It does not appear when I open iweb, but I have a backup copy on my desktop. When I move backup onto icon for iweb, it doesn't open it. How can I open it again? Since my last opening of it, I've installed the new OS-X software - 10.9
I'm not very computer literate, but I did download the file:
file:///Users/monicaanderson/.Trash/iWeb%20Switch%20Domain.app/
file:///Users/monicaanderson/.Trash/iWebDrop%2013-50-25-235.app/
I copied these links from my download folder and neither would open.
Can anyone help me -- in simple terms
Thank you

iWeb has no import facility, so is unable to open any published website at all.
All the data from your iWeb sites is stored in what is called your domain.sites files. These can be located under your User Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Find this file and double click it and iWeb will open it.
The User Library is hidden in Mavericks, so to display it you need to click on the Go menu at the top and then click the alt key and your User Library will then be displayed and then you need to go to Application Support and then iWeb and then you will find your domain.sites files from there.
If you can't find these files, then you are looking at re-building your site from scratch and there is no way in which you can alter your site because unfortunately the backup of your site that you need is your domain.sites files and not a published version - this is not good in iWeb because iWeb has no import facility so cannot open it.

If I switch on my iCloud will I still be able to access my iWeb created web site currently on MobileMe. I understand I need to find anotherhost before June, but I would like to access iCloub before then.

If I switch on my iCloud will I still be able to access my iWeb created web site currently on MobileMe. I understand I need to find another host before June, but I would like to access iCloub before then.

If you want to migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud you do so at http://me.com/move . You will need Lion 10.7.2 on your Mac to be able to use its facilities. Your calendars, contacts, bookmarks and email will be moved to iCloud.
Your iDisk, including website hosting and Gallery, will be unaffected and can still be accessed as before, though the migration process will probably sign you out in System Preferences>MobileMe and you will need to sign in again there.
You will continue to be able to use your iWeb site as before. As you say, this will cease at the end of June. This page examines some alternatives:

My GoDaddy hosted, iweb created web site will not open flash

Hello,
I'll try to be thorough:
I created a site with iWeb - It is band site.
I uploaded/published the site to godaddy.com, along with my URL www.momsgreatweed.com
If I access the URL from the Mac on which I created the site, it works fine, in SAFARI only (not firefox) even after having emptied the cache.
On all other computers (Mac and PC) I cannot open the "Tunes" page, which has a flash player and 10 mp3 files.
I receive the following error:
To view this page, you must log into area "me.com" on idisk.mac.com:80
Needless to say, this is making me slightly insane. I can't possibly be the only person to ever experience this issue. I did call GoDaddy "tech support"; but a 30 minute call turned out to be useless.
Please, before I pull my hair out...any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Be well,

You pasted the code in the HTML Snippet.
Upon further inspection I noticed the links to the tunes are wrong too :
(Sorry for the streched code)

Will my iweb created web site still work in june?

My site is created in iweb but hosted by godaddy

You should already know if you're hosting with Go Daddy or if you are publising to MobileMe and "redirecting" your iDisk Web pages to the Go Daddy servers.

Use iBog created blog with iWeb created web site?

Just began playing around with iWeb, and so far, like it a lot. But I already have a published blog using iBlog. Can I import that existing blog? Do I just link to it?
Thx,

You can't import your iBlog created blog into iWeb, but you can create a link to it from one of your iWeb pages.

When I click to make Firefox my browser, a window comes up for me to choose what to use to open a long list of programs for which I have no clue.

I think about 15 programs are on that list, including calculator asking me to name the program to use to open it. I don't know what to use to open any program.

If you are talking about making Firefox your default browser, see this:

HT4489 I'm unable to open vCard exported from MS Outlook for Mac (2011) which adheres all requirements.

I'm unable to open vCard exported from MS Outlook for Mac (2011) which adheres all requirements.

vCards exported from Outlook are not compatible with iCloud if that's what you're trying to import it to. You'll have to do something like create a Gmail account, then export your Outlook contacts to Gmail (see http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/export-outlook-contacts-to-google -gmail-HA001148902.aspx), then export the contacts from Gmail as a vCard (see https://support.google.com/mail/answer/24911?hl=en) and import it to iCloud (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605).

although i ran GBX6 under 10.5.8, i do believe an intel processor is required. that means that the only complete solution would be a new computer, i'm afraid.
the best you could do is export each track as an audio file from GBi and drop them into your GBX project

Hi
Pages 5.0 and 10.9.
While App Store tells me there is no update avalable to Pages, which it says was installed Nov. 4, its the old Avatar/logo thingo and, as I say, it will not open the Pages docs created on my MacBook, which definiitely does have the new Pages running smoothly.
cheers

Aperture created homepages and iWeb created web pages

Is there a way around the fact that Aperture created pages go into a "homepage.mac.com" directory when iWeb goes to "web.mac.com" directory??
The problem is to get all my creations (from Aperture and/or iWeb) into the same folder = much easier to give one type of address to my friends and family!
Precisely, can I change iWeb-like web sites into Aperture-like web sites ?

i have both and i don't know if you can or can't, i was thinking about just making the aperture album and copying the layout if need in iweb and linking to the aperture site. I have yet to make a site in aperture though, i will keep a look out for any info

I am unable to open my downloaded library books in ADE. I have a Mac running Snow Leopard and want

I am unable to open my downloaded library books in ADE. I have a Mac running Snow Leopard and want to transfer the books to a Kobo reader. Was able to load books perfectly until recently. I have tried trashing ADE and re-installing but have received the message that the version of ADE will not run with my current operating system. Tried resetting the Kobo reader and thought maybe it was not authorized but it appears in ADE when I plug it in. Any help would be greatly appreciated - getting very frustrated!

Can I create & publish site for another .Mac user?

My wife is a .Mac member and I piggybacked a .Mac e-mail address through her account. Now I'm trying to help my father, a recent Mac convert and .Mac member, by creating a website for him with my version of iWeb 08. When I open iWeb on my computer (first time as I've always used Dreamweaver to create websites), I'm locked out of pretty much everything (I'm assuming because I'm not a full .Mac member which it's somehow linking to). If I have my father's .Mac info, can I create a site for him and upload it for him on my computer, and if so, how would I do this?
Thanks in advance for any help!
~Chris

All you need to do to post to his .Mac account is find out what his .Mac username and password are and input them into the .Mac pane of System Preferences. That will give iWeb access to his .Mac space. If you end up getting your own .Mac at a later time, you will have to change that info in System Prefs.
I created a separate user on my computer for a 2nd website that I publish for my church. That way I keep all the iWeb and .Mac account info separate without having to jump through any hoops - I just have to switch users.

Creating multiple web sites for separate domain names

Is it possible to create a different web site using a different web address in IWeb 06? A friend asked me to make a web site for them....can/how do I publish it to a different address?
Thanks for the help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The best way is to have a separate domain name for each site you want to manage. When you publish the sites each will have a separate URL. It will be:
http://web.mac.com/your .Mac account name/the site folder name/index.html
I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.
OT

I am unable to open my iWeb-created web site, for which I have a backup.
