how can i do ?

Welcome to the discussions. Only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.
Paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

Restoring/Loading iWeb sites to a new MacBook

My iMac G5 died and I've replaced it with a MacBook Pro.
I had saved my iWeb 08 sites to an external hard drive.
Is there any way to "reload"or "restore" those sites to the iWeb 08 application inside my new Macbook Pro?

iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder — that's the file you should have saved:
_iWeb ’08: Backing up your Domain file_
Since you have an external hard drive, hopefully you're using it within a wider backup strategy — Time Machine perhaps or a bootable clone via one of these apps...

If so, search for:
.sites2
...which is the iWeb Domain file's hidden extension. If you can find it, double-clicking it should open it in iWeb. Although you still may have problems as NOTE 1 here suggests:

Moving iweb site to my new computer?

I just bought a new macbook pro. I am attempting to move my iweb domain to the macbook. I backed up the domain on my old computer (imacG5) to my idisk. I burned all the files onto a dvd. I want to move these files (five sites) into the domain file on my macbook pro. I am sitting here like a moron looking at the files; I've read th e posts that say to copy my domain to the new computer, but my domain is a big package of files and I am not sure how to "copy" them so they will open on my new computer.
Thanks for any help!

The Domain file should appear as a single file (though it is a "package" of files like you mention). Copying it to your new MacBookPro should be as easy as drag and drop. I would put it into the same default location as you found it...on your hard drive..../Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/iWeb/... Drop it in this folder and if you are asked to overwrite and existing Domain file, this should be okay as long as you have not already started a new site on your new MacBook Pro.
Once you have this file copied over, you should be able to open iWeb on the new computer and see all your sites in the Site Organizer. Again, so that there is no confusion, the file that you need is called "Domain". Let me know if you have any trouble.
If you have found any of this information to be useful to you, please take the time to provide me with feedback by marking my reply as "solved" or "helpful" using those little buttons that you see in the title bar of this reply. I'd really appreciate it!

How do I get my old iweb sites into the new iweb 08 after upgrading?

I upgraded and now the new iweb 08 does not see all my old web site pages. How do Igetnthem into the new application?

I had a similar issure after buying a new iMac and trying to get my iweb sites onto the new computer. I called Apple tech support and they told me to copy the file "domain.site" form the user/library/application support/iweb folder from my old imac into the iweb folder located in the same directory on my new computer. Once it is copied to the new location, double click on the "domain.site" file and it should open in the new iweb program. They told me to check all the pages to make sure it works OK in the program. My problem is that the new iweb program crashed everytime I double click on the "domain" file. Hope this helps.

I started my iTunes account on my Dell Desktop years ago and want to know how to import my files onto my new MacBook Pro?

It should be in Favorites.
If not, click on the desktop then go to Finder menu > Preferences > Sidebar and tick Music.
Your Music folder is in Macintosh HD > Users > Your username.

Importing from iPhone 4 to new Macbook Pro iTunes?

Have an almost full iPhone 4 and have just ordered a new Macbook Pro
How do i import my phone songs, and apps and basically my itunes to my new Macbook Pro? Or do i have to log into my itunes account and re-burn my CD"s back into the computer to put back onto the iPhone?
Im looking for the Quickest easiest way to get back up and running with my itunes account and songs that are only on my iPhone at the moment? as well as apps etc that i have bought in the past?

"So in essence my iPhone is my only storage device with the music/apps on - but it looks like i can't download copies 'off' into my new Mac as backup?"
The iphone is not a storage device. it simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
"So do i have the unenviable task of re-importing my cd's/songs into my new itunes computer and re-logging into my itunes account??"
Yes.
"Do i have to do this all by hand again and re-sync with my iPhone 4?"
Yes.
" Same with downloading off my photos to iPhoto?"
The photo sync is one way as well. Your pics should be included in your regular backup of your computer. Pics on the iphone are optimized for viewing on iphone (reduced in resolution). You can e-mail them to yourself but they will never be of the original quality.
Always maintaining a backup is very important.

Importing iWeb site to dreamweaver?

Is it possible to import my iWeb site to dreamweaver? I want to do this because i find that iWeb is too simplistic and i find the options are limited. To be honest all i want to do is put the website on dreamweaver and fiddle around with the HTML code and maybe do a couple of extra things. Anyway is it possible?

Publish the site to a folder and then open the published files in Dreamweaver.

How t: import iweb sites into go live?

You can't use the iWeb Domain file with anything but iWeb.
You can probably edit published iWeb sites with GoLive and modify and save them. Whether that would make your site more acceptable to IE I have no idea. I don't think GoLive is a simple program. You can probably download a trial from Adobe and play with it and ask questions on the Adobe forums.

How to redirect viewers to my iWeb site on a new domain?

I've moved my website to a new domain with a new Web host (which was much easier than I expected). Now, I'd like to redirect anyone who clicks on my old site to my new one, but I haven't found a way to do that. Any suggestions?

If you use personal domain at MobileMe then nothing will change.
Delete the CNAME record where you manage your domainname and point to your new host.
It takes a few hours for the change to propagate thru the network, so do not delete your MMe site yet.
Your visitor won't notice.
If you use the web.me.com address then it is more complicated.
Duplicate the index.html file in your site folder as many times as there are webpages and rename each duplicate to the name of each webpage. You have to delete the original webpage.
Then open each renamed file in a plaintext/HTML editor of your choice and change the redirect URL to the same page on your new host.
It looks like this :
<html><head><title></title><meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=http://url.to.new.page.html"></head><body></body></html>
Do so AFTER you publish to your new host.
Practice.

Importting iweb site from folder

I reinstalled mac os x and the software that came with my computer. before I did that I saved my iweb site to a folder which i burned to disk. how do I now get that site into iweb? any help would be great.
imac (intel) Mac OS X (10.4.6)

All you need to do is take a file called "Domain" and drag it into
Home > Library > Application Suport > iWeb (just place the Domain file in the iWeb folder and fire up iWeb)

Importing iWeb site to my computer

Our website was created with iWeb '09 and published to our site via FTP. I need to be able to collaborate and edit the site also. Is it possible to download the site to my computer and import it into my iWeb '09 on my Macbook Pro? Or, is it possible for the original creator of the site to send me the iWeb file for importing to my iWeb? Thanks for any help on this issue.

The original creator should send you the domain file that is, by default, located in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
Make sure the file is given read & write permissions before transfer.
This file can be stored in the default location or a new folder. If the latter, double click the file to launch it in iWeb.

Will Iweb load onto a new macbook pro

My 2008 macbook pro motherboard has packed up. Can you load iweb onto the latest macbook pro

Yes if you have a copy of it. If you can boot your old MBP into Target Disk Mode, Transferring files between two computers using FireWire, you can copy the iWeb application and the domain.sites file to your new MBP.
Otherwise you'll need to purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com.
However, since iWeb has been discontinued for about 2 years this would be a good time to migrate to a supported, modern web design app. One that many have migrated too and is very much like iWeb in GUI and operation is EverWeb. For other possible alternatives to iWeb search the iWeb forum for "iWeb alternative" or "iWeb replacement" to get numerous topics on the subject.

Publishing an iWeb site with a newer version of iWeb.

I recently upgraded my MacBook to a Mac book pro running snow leopard an iWeb 09. I built my website with the old MacBook and an older version of iWeb. I had no trouble moving to and loading it on the new laptop but cannot get it to publish changes. It always comes up as "unknown error." I tried publishing to folder and got the same error. I did some searching and so far the only thing I have come up with is the possibility that it won't publish because I am not using the same version of iWeb. Is that correct? Any advice? Thanks.

Hard drive dead with iweb site inside. new iweb site replaced my old site!

Is the old site a gonner? I had published the site with a personal domain, hosted with mobile me. When adding a new site, iweb replaced my old one. the old one was my business portfolio. the new one is just a single property advertisement.
why dont I see my old site on mobile me? (even before I published this new one)

I don't believe so. Not unless the new site had the same name as the old/business site. Mount your iDisk and check inside the Web/Sites folder for your personal and business site folders.
What type of domain name forwarding are you using? If your business site is in a different domain file than the personal site the last published site will have the minimal URL for your MMe account: http://web.me.com/yourMMe_AccountName/.
You may have to change your domain name forwarding to include the business site name in the URL: http://web.me.com/yourMMe_Account_Name/Business_SiteName/.

Pointing iweb site to a new domain

Can anyone give me the answer.
I have published my site on my .mac account.
I then brought a domain from web-mania.com
I now want to point my new domain name to the website on my .mac account.
I have emailed web-mania with no joy as they keep coming back saying that they don't host sites and i can't make them understand that my site is hosted on dotmac and all i want to do is just point my new website to that domain.
Help Help this site was meant to be up and running a week ago.

I'm having the same sort of issue, but I think I figured it out. The only thing is . . .they say it could be 48 hours before it works. Anway, I purchased mine from "godaddy.com" and the instructions I followed were to add the "CNAME" also referred to as a DNS control panel, MX record or Alias (you'll find this option under your account manager probably). The CNAME for iWeb galleries is "web.mac.com" . I'm hoping this works for me, and I hope it helps you too! I have plans with a friend that is an expert tonight, so I'm going to pick his brain and figure it out, I'll report back if what I've told you is wrong!
