IWeb doesn't allow me to open an old site folder

Hello everybody
recently I had to reinstall my software on my MacBook Pro.
I've created two sites, located in user/Sites, but, when I open iWeb, it wants me to create a new site!!
I'm unable to put the folders of my old sites in iit in order to modify/publish them again.
any solutions??
thanks a lot!!!
ps I'm italian...sorry for my bad english

Well no, you won't be able to open your sites because iWeb has no import facility which means that it cannot open a site that has already been published - html/css files.  You say that your sites are located under User/Sites - well this means that the sites have been published, so iWeb cannot open them.
The file that you need is your domain.sites file which is located in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.  Note that you need to look under your User/Library and not your System Library as iWeb is not located there. 
Your domain.sites file is the file where iWeb stores all your website data before you publish.  Double click on your domain file and iWeb will open it.

    I have ipad with IOS 7,  Some apps doesn' t work, safari not open some web site. What can I do?

    Try this and see if it helps.
    Settings>Safari>Clear cookies and data.
    Now close Safari completely. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then "swipe up" or "drag up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Photoshop CS5 creates file and then doesn't allow me to open it.

    I created a file on Photoshop CS5, saved it, and now when I try to open it says: "Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop." How can I open the file? How come the same program cannot open its own file? Can anybody help me with this? Thanks.

    That can happen in any version of Photoshop and it can be for one of at least two reasons:
    1.— The file was over 2 GB in size and was saved as a PSD rather than a PSB file; or
    2.— The file got corrupted.  This can happen when attempting to work across a network or with Norton Anti Virus (NAV) running on your computer. 
    Always work locally.  To open a file stored on a network volume, copy the CLOSED file in the Finder to your local hard drive first, then open the local file.  Once you are done working on the image, save the file on your local hard drive, close it and copy the CLOSED file back to the server.
    Sometimes, Illustrator or GraphicConverter can recover the flattened composite in a corrupted file if you're lucky, but the layers will be toast.
    If the file was indeed over 2 GB and saved as a PSD rather than a PSB, I know of no way to open it.
    Give us some more details of the history of the file and maybe someone else will have other ideas.

  • Airport network doesn't allow me to open my work exchange mail...

    I have attempted for quite some time to open a link I created to bring me to my microsoft exchange web mail. However on the airport network I created the page just loads for ever and finally comes up with a safari message that says "page couldn't not be opened". Yet this link works perfectly fine when connected to another wireless router in my apartment building. Any idea if there are any settings I should mess with on the airport and how I would access those settings?

    Hi Simplistik,
    Would you be able to talk me through this. I am unsure of where I should go to check settings. I went into system preferences, network, adavanced and really didn't see a whole lot of choices for manipulating the AE.
    Thanks if you can do this,

  • No "Open" command in iWeb - how do I open old site folder?

    I have a folder on my desktop I published a site to, but it doesn't show up in the iWeb Site Organizer pane. I don't remember deleting it but I guess I did. The site itself is up and running on the web, but I can no longer edit it b/c I can't open it in iWeb. Any advice? TIA

    If you have deleted your website from within iWeb (even by accident or by some other act of nature!) I'm afraid that it has been erased from the Domain file where iWeb stored all information about the website. There is no way to recover the website and no way to import the published folder that you have on your desktop, unfortunately. It's just not something iWeb is capable of doing since it is a one-way HTML generator.
    Since the site is online, you can maintain your web presence for the time being. But your only choice right now is to start from square one and recreate your site within iWeb. But you're work is not completely lost. You still have all the little graphics and other media files from your site inside the published folder that you can drag out and the drag right back into iWeb as your recreate your site. You can also use the online site for reference as you rebuild.
    In the future, it may be best to keep regular backups of your Domain file. This file is where iWeb stores all the information about your website. It is located in its default location on your hard drive/Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ folder pathway.
    Good luck to you while you get back on your feet!

  • Open old site in new iWeb?

    Hey guys,
    I just upgraded, but I can't seem to open the old site in the new iWeb. Please tell me I don't have to recreate everything...
    Thanks

    Your iWeb '06 site is stored in a domain.sites file which is in Home Folder/Library/Application Support iWeb.
    Before you attempt to launch iWeb '08, make a backup of this file and store it in a safe place - preferably on an external drive or CD/DVD.
    Clicking this file will launch it in iWeb '08 and it will be converted to domain.sites2.
    Once you have done this, there is no going back - hence the backup if the conversion is not successful.
    If you do not have this domain file you cannot launch your site in iWeb. Although your site is published to a folder and exists on .Mac or your server, you can't reverse this process - you have to have the domain file.

  • Help - how to open old site

    Have saved website as local site in computer with early version of free trial MUSE. Folder contains CSS, images, scripts & HTML files which open fine in web browser. I understand current MUSE will only open sites with .MUSE extension. Is there a way to open these files on new MUSE or is rebuilding from scratch the only option??????

    Muse does not have any feature to allow importing or opening a published site i.e. html/css/js pages. You would need to recreate the site from scratch in Muse.
    Thanks,

    [BUG FIXED, see "EDIT 2" at the end of my post]
    I'm on Firefox 3.6.21, and I got this problem today after a Greasemonkey update (To version 0.9.10, apparently).
    Disabling Greasemonkey solved the problem, and re-enabling it reproduced the problem (middle-clicking links to open in new tab did not work, merely highlighted the link).
    I should also note that while Greasemonkey was enabled and the bug was affecting me, Ctrl+Click to open links in new tabs was also broken.
    I hope this helps!
    EDIT: It appears this is a known incompatibility/conflict bug between current versions of Greasemonkey and Tab Mix Plus. Read more here:
    https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1406
    EDIT 2: GREASEMONKEY HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED with a workaround to fix the problem. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ to install the update manually. It hasn't been reviewed by Mozilla yet, so it won't be an automatic update for another day or two. All credit to "cannonfodder" below for noticing this; please mark his post as helpful!

  • IWeb doesn't open my domain.site2 in 10.9 os x mavericks

    My domain site has been working fine until recently. Now when I clicked on the domain site or tried opening it in iWeb (ver 3.0.2), iWeb will display the blue loading bar showing that it's opening the site, but nothing happens afterwards. I have tried restarting the program and rebooting. A few days ago I have installed the new 10.9 os x mavericks and it's sitll not working. Does anyone know what could be the problem?

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    3 - launch iWeb and try again.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If you're running Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    If that doesn't help try the Workflow app that's described in the following:

    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • Iweb version which allows to open 2 domains at a time

    which iweb version which allows to open 2 domains at a time. where to download? works with lion?

    You don't have to be a programmer to be able to download one piece of sotware that will allow you to merge domain files, so that is no excuse.
    Also, whichever version of iWeb you use, it is impossible to have two domain files open at any one time to be able to drop and drag between the two.  The ony possible way of achieving this is if you have ONE domain file with all your sites there and on the left hand side it is possible to drag and drop between the sites.
    That is why you were told to download the iWebSites programme specifically so that you could merge your domain files to do what you wanted.
    The previous thread does appear to show that you successfully downloaded this programme and understood at some level how it worked - so what has changed?
    Downgrading to any other version of iWeb will NOT help you and you can't drag and drop between domain files unless you have one domain file and you can then drag and drop between the sites and pages. 
    Other than this, you can't do what you want to and no messing around with different version of iWeb will change this.

  • Iweb began crashing after I was editing the blog page, I think it was somehow overloaded, and now iweb doesn't even open.

    I kept turning the computer off and on and it doesnt open still, only the inspector tablet. what do i do!!!

    Try the following:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    Click to view full size
    launch iWeb and try again.
    If that doesn't help continue with:
    move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
    go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    launch iWeb and try again.
    Lastly, close iWeb and open iPhoto.  Select a couple of photos and use the Share ➙ iWeb ➙ Photo Page menu option.  Give it a couple of tries if the first one doesn't help.
