How do i import my previous website into iWeb?

I had previously designed my website in iWeb and published it, i then had to wipe my hard drive but backed everything up, now i can't seem to open or import my old website back into iweb, any help please?

John ~ In your backup, look for Domain.sites2 file which is usually located here:
...Double clicking that file should open it in iWeb.

I'm working to set up my website with iWeb and it won't let me import photos from iPhoto! Whats up?

I'm working to set up my website with iWeb and it won't let me import photos from iPhoto! Whats up?

Will Image capture (in your applications foldr) see them and bring to disk? If so then once they are safely off the memory card and on disk use the camera's format command to reformat the memory card
and can you impoprted to iPhtoo from disk? Will preview open the photos on disk?

Can I import a non-iWeb website into iWeb?

How can I import a non-iWeb website into iWeb so that I can use iWeb to edit the site?

You can't: iWeb cannot import html files, and relies entirely on its own 'Domain' file which lives by default in your User Library. You would have to recreate the site from scratch, using the original as a guide and a source for images and text; or use an HTML editor.
Depending on how complicated the site is you may be able to do this in Kompozer, which is free. It is a WYSIWYG web page created which also gives you access to the code, and which can open any HTML page (though if the page is heavily dependent on external CSS you may have difficulties with it).

How do you edit an existing website in iWeb?

how do you edit an existing website in iWeb?

An existing website as in: editing one which has not previously been uploaded via iWeb?
I don't think you can. With the wysiwyg editing of iWeb, you can create a whole new website, make a new subdomain site or even upload a few extra created pages.
Thing is iWeb will only upload or save what you are making in it, therefore you can upload a whole new website to a domain, or upload them manually with ftp-clients. That also means you can't import an exsisting, for example html, script and edit it.
So in short: for as far as I know, you can't import whole pages into iWeb and edit those, you can only create and upload them.
Or as in: editing one I've already made, and uploaded on the same Mac?
Then simple make the changes you want, and hit the "Publish" button in the far down-left corner of the window. It will then overwrite the site you currently have.

Tranferring a website to iweb

Does anybody know if I can somehow transfer my yahoo website to iweb. I cannot launch pagebuilder on my macbook and I am very frustrated. Also, not very good with computers so be very general with information please.

No. iWeb has no import facility so this is not possible. You will have to start over and re-build your site in iWeb.

New computer - can't open my website in iweb

I just replaced my old computer and the new one that has iweb already installed. After logging into mobileme and opening iweb, the program doesn't show me my existing website. I checked under 'File' but 'visit published site' is not an option. What do I need to do to open and work on my existing website in iweb? Thanks.

Well, you actually need to be sure that you have backed up the correct file.
It is correct that if you have published pages from iWeb and they are html pages and files, then iWeb cannot import these - iWeb has no import facility and creates all the html code needed when you publish. If this is the case, then you will have to re-build your site from scratch.
The file where iWeb stores all data and this is the file that you need to be able to alter anything is your domain.sites2 file. It is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Note, it is your user library that you need to be looking in and not your system library.
Find your domain.sites file and you can make any alterations that you want and it is this file that you want to back up and nothing else - backing up a published site is no good, as you have already learned.

Making iPhone Website with iWeb?

Is it possible to make an iPhone optimized website with iWeb? I would like for my website to know when you are using an iPhone and have an optimized site. There are a lot of these now on the internet. How do I do that?
Kevin

Kevin ~ See this old thread:
And the width of your site is important...
Apple's own design award-winning site at apple.com mostly has a width of 980 pixels. Apple's developer guidelines for the iPhone/iPod touch say: "Safari on iPhone also sets the viewport width to 980 pixels, the width of most webpages." And: "...if your webpage is less than 980 pixels wide causing it to scale too small on iPhone..."

Open website on Iweb

Hello,
I've created a website on Iweb a couple of years ago. I've been uploading it normaly on my domain. My computer crashed a couple of week ago and now, I can't manage to open my site in Iweb (version 2.0.4). I have all the files and the folder with the site, but I don't know how to open it again in the Iweb application (I tried to drag-and-dropp it in the application but it doesn't work).
Could someone help me please ?
Thx a lot

That's because you can't - iWeb has no import facility so it cannot import an already published site - html as you have found.
Unfortunately, a published site is not a backup - it is the domain.sites file that you want and this can be found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
Did you backup your domain file or anything via Time Machine - if so, you can get anything back, but if not, then you are looking at re-creating your site from scratch.

Importing website

Hi Guys,
Wondering if anyone could help me. I've created a website using iWeb and uploaded to my .mac account which is all good and nice. However, I recently had to re-install the OS on my iMac (complete erase and re-install) due to some bloody monkey cocking it up. Does anybody know of anyway of importing my site back into iWeb from my .mac account so that I can update it or am i gonna have to build it from scratch all over again?

Your original iWeb files were stored in ~/Application Support/iWeb in a file named Domain.site.
That file is, obviously, gone from your machine and you will have to build the pages again. iWeb can't import html files.
Your current pages (those published to .Mac) can be "linked" to any new page you make but you will not be able to edit them with iWeb.

How do I add a favicon to my website through iWeb?

Hello,
I built my website through iWeb. I am wondering if it is possible to add my favicon to my website through iWeb.
Thanks,
Lora

You can use any image as a favicon.
Save an image as .pgn, .jpg or .gif and rename it favicon.ico
Put it in the root of the server.
Any modern browser will find it. No need to add code to a page.
Here are some I use :

Multiple Websites using iWeb

I currently created one website through iweb. www.michelemcloughlin.com
I now want to create multiple websites for clients, friends etc. Is it possible to do this? I have iLife 08, what would be the best way to do this?
help!!!

Do you think its easier to buy ilife 09 and not need to go through this process of individual folders?
Michele ~ I think it's better to keep sites for different clients and friends each in their own iWeb Domain file — but that's just a personal opinion and others may differ.
Also, I have a mac account, if I were to design another website for a client do they need to buy hosting as well in addition to their domain name?
As above, I think it's better for clients and friends each to have their own hosting and domain name — although it's not necessary. Perhaps it wouldn't be inconvenient for you to have a close friend's site hosted on your MobileMe account. Also, there are some restrictions regarding setting up multiple domain names to a single MobileMe account — read more here:
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Domains.html
With iLife 09 is the back up necessary.
Backups are always necessary — your Mac's internal HD could crash at any moment. Do you have a plan for when that happens? ...There are only two types of HD: Those that have crashed and those that haven't — yet:

This back up.. can I copy this domain file and put it on an external hard drive?
Yes.
