Question

I have upgraded to a new macbook. How do I find the website I created on my previous macbook?

Answer 1

Time Machine makes a backup of every bit on your computer, unless you explicitely exclude the file.
You would know it.
The library folder is invisible as of Lion.
You want your file back?
Brace yourself, I wrote a long explanation to make you happy.
Make sure you follow the instruction character by character. It works a advertised.
Here we go.
Login as Administrator to have full control of your computer. If you do not konw how, find out.
Enter Time Machine
Once in Time Machine do Escape to leave it.
Do Command-Shift-C
You see the time Machine Backup.
Double-cick to open it.
Use list view (Command-2) to see the folders and files.
Click the triangle to open the folder with the date of the latest backup on your old computer.
Click the triangle to open the folder with the name of the Harddisk of your old computer.
Click the triangle to open folder Users.
Click the triangle to open folder with the Username on your old computer.
Do you see the Library folder?
STOP.
Open Terminal.app (in's in Applications/Utilities).
Type cd and a space
Drag the folder with your Username on the Terminal window and hit Return.
Type ls -al (and hit Return)
You'll see the contents of the home directory.
Type cd Library (UPPERCASE EL hit Return)
Type ls -al (and hit Return to make sure we're in the right directory)
Type cd "Application Support" (INCLUDING THE QUOTATIONS and hit Return)
Type ls -al (and hit Return. Scroll to see if the iWeb folder is there)
Type cd iWeb (hit Return)
Type ls -al (and hit Return)
You should see the Domain.sites2 file (actually a directory, since Terminals does not understand packages)
Type cp -R Domain.sites2 ~/Desktop/ (hit Return)
Terminal will copy the domain file to the Desktop.
Is it there? Great.
In Terminal again.
Type chflags nohidden ~/Library (and hit return to make the Library folder visible.)
In the Finder, move the domain file to Library/Application Support/iWeb/ in your Home directory (Command-Shift-H)
Double-click it to open it in iWeb.
If that does not happen, browse this forum for solutions, or wait for others to help you.
You can later move the file your own Home directory.
Do Command-Shift-Q to logout.
Practice.
