IWeb - accessing Gallerys

I use both iPhoto and Aperture to load Galleries.
In iWeb I can only access those created in iPhoto. The Garlaries created in Aperture cannot be accesses.
Is this a feature of Aperture / iWeb or am I doing something wrong.

That is a know issue with iWeb/Aperture. It's been discussed and lamented about many times. Post a bug/feature report to http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html and http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html. The more hits the more likely it will be addressed in the next update.

Iweb access from other Macs

does anyone know how to access your own iweb site from another Mac ,say on another premisis,
we have iweb 06 on the Mac pro and want to acsess it and change pages from our Mac book pro
regards
the oakley blogger

You can as long as both Macs are running the same version of iWeb.
Your website information is in a domain file located in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
Copy this file and paste it into the equivalent location on the other mac. Double click this file to open iWeb. If the second Mac already has a domain file, you might want to drag it out into a new folder first to stop it being overwritten.
Every time you do any changes to a site on one Mac you have to refresh the domain file on the other.
If the computers are in different locations, you can make the transfer using a portable drive or by creating a ZIP of the domain file and emailing it.

How does iWeb access images?

Where are the website images stored? I entered an HTML snippet but it includes images. The html lists the images as menu.images.whatever.. I need to know how to modify the code and where to put the images. There is also a css style. How do I make such a snippet work?

Hi Victoria and welcome to the forum.
I had to Google Shape but it looks interesting, and dies use the CC Libraries. I am a big fan of CC Libraries, but have only used them between apps on the same machine. So it is just a matter of see how they work between different systems
Illustrator Help | Creative Cloud libraries - collaborate, sync, and share assets
In my experience, I simply drag an asset onto the Library in one app, and it is there in my other apps. But I have to make sure I am looking at the same library name on both computers. Now I have been confused over syncing before, but I suspect that if you open the Application Manager and click on the little Cog icon, and in the Files tab make sure Sync is checked. Otherwise you might as well read the help files.

Good luck

Opening an exisiting file or site on another machine

I have macs, a desktop and portable. I would love to edit my site from both machines. I use the idisk to transfer file and keep both system update. I can see the site and it's files on my idisk, but iWeb will not import or open the files. I know there are other design application that will allow for me to edit the site but the lack the theme and sometimes iWeb can't re open the file created in another app. I don't understand why there isn't a simple save as or opening an existing site command in iWeb like yo would find in similar applications. If anyone has founded a work around please let me know

I believe you can store your domain file in a remote location, such as a file on your iDisk, so that iWeb accesses that domain file from each computer that you use. The secret is to double-click the domain file from each computer, so that the iWeb software then looks to that location. I haven't tried it, but here's the scoop:

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.

Merge two domain files?

so i mainly work on my home computer with iWeb, but ended up having to create a site on my laptop. how or is there any way to merge or add it to my home computer domain file?
better question is to avoid this could the domain file live on my idisk and iWeb accesses it there?
thanks

iWeb wouldn't be able to access the Domain file residing on your iDisk. I suppose there's a remote chance iWeb could access the Domain file residing on a +synced copy+ of your iDisk on your Mac's Desktop — but I wouldn't advise such complications.

IWeb8 - can I update 1 site with 2 computers (desktop & laptop)

I am up and running OK but more by good luck than judgement. I don't begin to understand the 'domain' concept.
I have iWeb on 2 machines and assumed that I could use either to update my website on the assumption that iWeb is making use of the same iDisk.
I'm probably trying the impossible - it would be helpful to learn a little about why.

It's not impossible:

How do I access my iWeb website when I no longer have the original iWeb program it was published with?

Last Fall, my '06 iMac was vandalized and destroyed unexpectedlyl. Since then, I have'nt been able to access my only website, which was published through iWeb. My new iMac does not have iWeb.
How can I access my main website published through the old iWeb? I must transfer my domain name/site to a new web host and build a new site. My website is out of date and must be updated/replaced asap. Please help.

To edit your website, you need the domain.sites file iWeb uses to store its assets.
You also need iWeb.
If the file is missing and you have no backup, you'll have to start from scratch.
Perhaps you still have the iLife install disks.
And browse this forum to learn how to get a copy of iLife. It's often discussed.

How can outside users access my iWeb sites shared via Web Sharing

Since the coming demise of mobileme/idisk I have decided to publish all of my websites locally (created with iWeb) and share them by the Web Sharing feature in OS X. Everything works perfectly from any computer or device that is on my home network but once I am outside my network I cannot access any of my website nor can any family members. I have an airport network at home using an airport extreme and numerous computers and devices (ipods, ipad, etc) on the network. All can access from within the network but not from outside. What can I do to fix this?
I don't want to use a commercial service since my sites are large. Tried Dropbox and it was too cumbersome.
Thanks,
Chris
Web Server: iMac running OS 10.7.3 with Web Sharing on using the Sites folder inside my user folder

Here is some info on hosting your website yourself:
_WWW FAQs: How do I host a real domain name at home?_
_How do I host my own website at home?_
_Should I host my own web server?_ - This one describes the pitfalls of hosting yourself.
I agree with Roddy. For about $3.95 per month you can get a fuil service host complete with 24/7 ear-to-ear customer support and all the bells and whistles at HostExcellence.com.
This tutorial descrtibes how it works so well with iWeb: iW16 - Using HostExcellence.com with iWeb as does this website: Using HostExcellence - iWebFAQ.org

How to access my website created with iWeb after hard drive replacement

I recently had my hardrive fail and it was replace with a new one. It just happened to be the only computer I used to create and update my website. I lost some photos that are on my website, but there are 1 or 2 photo pages that I can't download them back to my computer from. Is there another way to get them from the .mac server to my computer? I hesitate to create a new iWebsite for fear of losing the one that has the photos I want. Thanks

You should be able to access any of the files on the Idisk.
You will need to construct a new site and in the future you should backup the "domain" file located in your user library/application support/iweb.
If you had that file you would not have lost anything.

I had to change my Hard Drive, now I want to work on files in iWeb, but can't access Time Machine before yesterday. The dates are there on the right hand side but are greyed out before yesterday when I changed my HD. How do I access anything from before.

Accessing site files on .mac for iweb when hard drive crashed w/out backup

Hello,
My hard drive crashed. I built my website on iweb, had it stored on my desktop before being able to actually back it up.
I have been able to grab my site files from idisk, but cannot drag & drop the website into my desktop, so I can update it.
Can you please add this feature to the iweb software. I do not understand why I could save the website on the .mac
server, and not access it when I need it.
This should definitely be a feature for working with .mac.
Please let me know. I am a fine artist, and the site is great.
Help please.
Kellyann

There is no way for your to do this unless you remembered or knew to backup a file called "Domain" from your hard drive before you formatted it. The pages that you already published and that are still online do not constitute any sort of backup....they are simply the finished product of iWeb's processing. There is no way to import these files back into iWeb for editing from your iDisk or from .Mac.
In the future, you should know that iWeb stores all vital information about your webpages in a single file called "Domain". This file is the one and only file where iWeb stores everything it needs to be able to edit your webpages and publish them. This is the file that you would need to backup in case anything happens to your computer....or you just want to use iWeb on another computer. This file is changed everytime you make a change in iWeb, so in terms of backup, it is wise to make a backup after every major change that you make to your websites so that you always have the most recent work backed up. This file by default is located on your hard drive in the following folder pathway..... HardDrive/Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/iWeb/.... It is best to leave the file here in this location unless you are familiar with iWeb and its treatment of multiple Domain files.
I am sorry to be the one to tell you this bad news. You have lost the ability to edit the sites you have already published. Unless you have a backup copy of this Domain file laying around somewhere, you only course of action will be to recreate your site from scratch.

IMac died - need to access iWeb

My iMac died and I need to access my .Mac account on my mac book. But I can't get to it from iWeb. I don't have the Domain file from my iMac, because it's dead. How do I access and publish from iWeb on my living mac book?

Can't Publish Site, Can't Access iWeb

I am so far beyond frustrated it's hard to think straight. I have been having nothing but problems with iWeb for weeks, and I can't find any answers or help. Ever since I got the notice that .Mac Homepage is going to be retired, I have been trying to update the 1400+ Homepage pages on my site to iWeb so I can make changes as needed to the pages in the future. I have a music review and interview site (I don't sell anything), and I need to update as many of these pages as I can before July 7. In the past two weeks, I've been able to update only a few pages because iWeb freezes, disappears, drops the updates, or the little ball just keeps turning. I have worked so hard to make MainlyPiano.com a top-notch site, and since I upgraded to iWeb '09, it has been nothing but heartache. Instead of writing new reviews, I'm spending all of my time trying to get this program to work for me again, and it just keeps doing everything except what I want it to do. Apple Support indicates that there is nothing wrong with the program. Why then are so many of us having so many problems getting it to work properly, and why does it work properly for a little while and then crash? iWeb was working fine on my iMac for a long time, and now I can't bring the site up on that computer at all!
I updated a couple of pages this evening, and they published in record time. I went to update another page and the program froze, so I quit iWeb. Then I couldn't get iWeb to open to the site, so I rebooted. The two pages I updated are now online, but I can't access them in the iWeb program. How can that be? This is like an ongoing nightmare and I don't know what to do to fix it. Can someone please give me an idea of where to go for some answers????
Kathy

I know this, but I need access to most of my pages so I can update them as necessary. The biggest problem is that most of my updates either don't publish or iWeb freezes while I'm working with it or my new pages disappear like they did last night. They are online, but they aren't on the iWeb application so I can't access them. I just quit and reopened iWeb to see if they came up, but they did not. I saved them both before I published, so I don't understand this at all. I still can't get the site to come up at all in my iMac. My forehead is getting very bruised from banging my head against the wall!

Access/edit existing mobile me domain on iWeb on a new computer

I recently had to change over to a different mac. I think I copied all the correct files I needed from my old mac. These files are now on my new mac. I need some help to find the best way to open up the iWeb software on the new mac and access/edit my existing website which is on mobile me.
I tried going to the domain file and opening it, but it says the document "domain" cannot be opened, then it says, Can’t open file “~/Documents/Domain.sites2.”
I also have the iWeb files on my new mac-- but I am not sure where to begin.

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Brandon.
Your published site on www.me.com is a finished product. It cannot be "opened" as such with iWeb. iWeb only opens it's domain file. Taking what is on www.me.com and putting it into iWeb would be like trying to take a cake and have it become milk, eggs, and flour again. Just not the way it works.
You can take the code of your website and put it back into iWeb piece meal or use an HTML editor to edit it (although this requires knowledge of HTML). But lets not go there quite yet.
The file you need is the file that was on your old computer called "Domain". By default this file is located in Home > Library > Application Support > iWeb > Domain. (aka ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/iWeb/Domain)
Do you have this file from your old computer? If so, put it in the Home > Library > Application Support > iWeb folder and then double-click on it.
If you get the same error message try the following:
Ensure all your software is up to date (Apple Menu > Software Update).
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches (I remove the whole folder. It will be re-generated upon restart.)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWeb (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
If the same error occurs again:
_Make a copy of your domain file
_Create a new folder on your desktop File > New Folder
_Put the copy of your domain in the folder
_Click on the folder and go to File > Get Info
_Go down to the bottom of the Get Info window to the section called "Sharing & Permissions"
_Unlock the padlock at the bottom
_Click on the cog and click on "Apply to enclosed items..."
_Try to open the domain inside the folder
If the same error occurs again, do you have backup copy of your data? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
Hope that helps.
