Iweb/domain question

I own a domain that i wish to put my iweb page onto. I work for my uncle doing all of his web stuff for his plastic surgery business in orange county. I made a site about breast cancer and own a domain and would like to put my iweb page on my domain named ocbreastcare.com
in short terms all i want is:
1. i own a domain name
2. i have a iweb website registered and on the net
3. i want to make it so when people type in the domain name i have reserved, it goes directly to the site i made with iweb.
If anyone knows if this can be done, please get back to me asap and let me know what exactly what i can and can't do to make this possible or if it even is possible.

Go to your domain name account and set up "Domain Forwarding" or "Domain Redirection". If your domain account does not offer this, then transfer your domain somewhere else.

  • IWeb "Domain" file Transfer.

    So i copied the domain file to an external to back it up and because I was going to restore my machine.
    I restored my maching restored the domain file and iWeb wont open. I am really bummed because I have 4 website on it as well as my Photo website.
    Any ideas would be lifesaving!
    Thanks a lot.

    Q. What happens when you launch iWeb?
    When you first launch a clean install of iWeb and then quit, some files are created, these include your preference file, which is located here:
    User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist
    Also your domain file and the iWeb folder are created here:
    User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain
    Providing you used the default location (above) for your domain file previously, then you can now delete the new domain file and replace it with your old file. When you launch iWeb it should open your old domain file.
    Q. Did you change the name you use for your user account with the new system?
    If so, the plist file within your domain file could be pointing to the wrong place. Lets delete it!
    With the domain file in the iWeb folder, "Control+Click" (or right click) on the domain file. From the pop-up menu choose, Show Package contents. Look for a file called assets.YourUserName.plist, move this file to the desktop, out of the domian file. Now launch iWeb, does your site open?
    Report back!

  • IWeb Backup Question

    Hi all,
    I apologize if this question has been asked, but it's late and I kinda was hoping there was a quick answer.
    I have a small website, nothing spectacular, that I created and mess around with on occasion. I made it with iWeb, and published it to my .Mac account. I had a hard drive crash a few weeks ago, and of course, I didn't have everything backed up like I should have. Now, since the site and it's pages are up in my 'sites' folder, it's still online, but my question is this: After downloading that folder from my .Mac account, how do I open it in iWeb again? When I open iWeb now, it just starts up from scratch.
    Thanks much,
    Brian H.

    Hi Brian,
    You can't reopen that site again in iWeb. You see, iWeb doesn't open html files, like mainstream web applications do. It generates html when you initiate a Publish command, and it draws the resources necessary for this from a single file, Domain.sites. This Domain file contains all of your work, created in the iWeb app. It lives on your hard drive in your Home folder's Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites.
    This is the file you will backup from now on to prevent this from happening again.

  • Iweb Domain

    Hello, I have a question, I've formatted my computer and save the realm of all my pagesmade ​​with iWeb on my hard drive, other than keep them together, I was deleting and storingthe domain of a case. Everything was on my hard drive, but now I come to pass back to mymac and I get 0 KB occupied by the truth that set me as occupied when it passing but wetried one by one and all were open. Now put 0 Kb apart and try to copy it but not let me, I put it in library / aplication suport / iweb and I do not read anything. Does anyone know whatcould have happened? What if there is any way back?
    Thanks, greetings!

    Thanks for the replies, but I think the problem is not going out there, the fact is that if I havethe domains on my hard drive (how strange is that I take 0kb). Since the external hard drive, I can open them by double clicking on iweb domain but once opened will not let me save, I guess because I'm working from the hard drive but if you step to your computer and try to open it from there, I get an error . So I can open pages made ​​in iweb but I can not save or copy the domain on my computer because I do not work from here.
    Thanks again

  • IWeb Domain in iDisk

    Hello. Thank you all for yesterday's replies. Very helpful. Another problem came up, which I cannot solve so far...
    I now have 2 different iweb domains for my websites with different filenames (i.e Site1 and site2). Site1 is up and running and I am able to place it on my iDisk.
    However Site2 does not upload to iDisk. The arrows of iDisk Sync keep turning and turning and the file does not upload. After a while a messages pops up stating that the file for Site2 is being used elsewhere, which is not true because I have iWeb closed. Now the interesting part is, I tried to upload this same file to drop box and I managed to do it successfully and appers to be up and runing there... The question is: How can I "force" the iDisk to accpet this file?
    Thank you

    Thank you for your reply. I realized no that I confused things a bit. Will try to simplify.
    I want to edit my 2 sites in 2 different computers (iMac and MacBook). I have them in 2 different domains within iWeb(Chronicles.sites2 and Sligo.sites2). I want to store both iWeb domains (files with .sites2 extension) on my iDisk so that I can access them from both computers. And here lies the problem. The Sligo.sites2 file is being easily uploaded to the iDisk. I can open the file on both computers and make all the changes I want.
    The file Chronicles.sites2 is not uploading to iDisk. It keeps trying but after a few minutes a message appears saying that it is not possible to upload the file because it is in use, when is not. The curious part is that when I try to store it on my DropBox, the file is transfered and works on both computers. I would like to have both on the iDisk. Any suggestion in how can I try and upload it to my iDisk?
    By the way... I do not use the webhosting from MobileMe.
    Thank you
    Regards

  • Can't open old iWeb domain file (yes, I have asked in the other forum!)

    I had to wipe my MacBook hard drive and reinstall my data and OSX. Having tried to restore my iWeb domain file from Time Machine, I find I am unable to open it. (I've asked this question in the iWeb forum but was eventually directed here.) I've tried seemingly everything, including changing the file's permissions, wiping iWeb preferences, creating a new domain, deleting it and replacing it with the old one. Still I'm told iWeb can't open the file.
    Could it be corrupted? It's probably relevant that it was created under a different account (I had to create a new one when I wiped the disk) and I believe iWeb doesn't like opening domains created by "another" user.
    Any help much appreciated. It's important because I am applying for a new job and my online folio -- aka my iWeb website -- is not up-to-date, which looks very strange.

    I have to confess, I was hoping someone with more knowledge about iWeb's Domain file would chime in.  Evidently not, though.
    Let's try something else.  Run the following two commands in the Terminal (paste them in, only one at a time, and hit return after each one):
    ls -al ~/Library/Application\ Support/iWeb
    ls -al ~/Library/Application\ Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2
    Then paste the output here.  Here's what I get:

  • Can't open file "~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites"

    I was working on iWeb today, doing the usual adding pictures, and gave a few pages some color, and a few pictures here and there.
    I restart my computer, because as usual, I almost have no memory left. When the computer is running again, I opened iWeb, and I get this odd message:
    Can't open file "~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites"
    Why is this here? I didn't do anything weird to trigger such message. The site was working perfectly fine! I tried taking the domain file to the desktop, then opening it once iWeb launches from there, and same message appears. I put it back to its place, and tried putting the iWeb plist on the desktop, and same deal!
    Everything is back in its place, I haven't changed or triggered anything to deserve this. I ran Onyx, full optimization update. I restarted computer, and conducted a full disk permission repairs. Only 1 error found out of another app.
    My computer is healthy, my programs are running fine. What is going on? Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    Hi
    Whaow 3.1GB. I'm sure iWeb has problems with that. I have the same problem with my iWeb. I have about 100 BLOG pages with a lot of pictures. Although iWeb scales the pictures when publishing (good!) it does not scale them when they are stored in the domains file/dir (bad!) So if you have an 8MP camera, this adds up after a while.
    You can open the comains file and try to figure out what causes the trouble. (Right click/CTRL click, open content) sort on size to see if you have some extremely large stuff in there (Movies???) Take them out and try to make them smaller.
    Good luck!!

  • Can't open file "~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2."

    Hello,
    I have been using iWeb for over a year and I have a lot of my work on it. But for some reason, when I went to open iWeb, I get the error message:
    +Can’t open file “~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2.”+
    Does anyone know how I can fix this and make sure my content doesn't get deleted?
    Thank You!

    Deleting the preference file does not affect the domain.sites2 file. If it's not in the default folder or has a name other than domain.sites2 then that's why iWeb couldn't find and open it. Find it and double-click on it to open it with iWeb 2. You do have a backup copy the domain file, right? If not download and use frequently the Automator application that Varkgirl created. You can get it at Varkgirl's iWeb Tips and Tricks site.

  • IWeb "Domain" File Not Opening in Mavericks

    I just bought a new Mac Pro and converted everything over from my early 2008 Mac Pro.  However, my iWeb Domain file will not open in the new Mac.  It defaults to the start up iWeb page asking me to choose a new template. 
    Facts:
    1- Both systems are running same version of Mavericks.
    2- Both systems are running same version of iWeb.
    3- In the Early Mac system, when I open iWeb, the Domain automatically opens.  In new Mac it opens to the "choose a template for your webpage" option.  Same result if I double click on the actual Domain file.
    Troubleshooting already done:
    1- Confirmed this is the only Domain file on the system
    2- Opened same file on old system to ensure it is a valid Domain file
    3- Re saved in old system and transferred over to new system.  Same result when opening.
    Thank you in advance for any insights on this.

  • Can somebody help me to restore my iWeb domain file from Time Machine (at the moment my whole life history is frozen online)?

    I had to wipe my machine and create a new account. Now I can't restore my iWeb domain file and thus can't edit my site. When I do try to restore the file I'm told:
    The operation can’t be completed because some items had to be skipped. For each item, choose File > Get Info, make sure “Locked” is deselected, and then check the Sharing & Permissions section. When you are sure the items are unlocked and not designated as Read Only or No Access, try again.
    I've changed the permissions of the domain file/folder itself (within Time Machine) but I gather it wants me to change the permission of everything in there, which would presumably take hours and hours.
    I've tried just dragging the domain file from the hard drive where the Time Machine backup is stored but the result of that is:
    Can’t open file “~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2.”
    This is quite urgent because I am applying for a new job and can't display my latest work online. Any help much appreciated in advance.

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  

  • HELP! can't find my iweb domain file anymore

    tried to back up my iweb domain file. located a file called 'domain' (in the library--> application support--> iweb folder) and opened it to check the contents (it seemed too light). it was the wrong file, an empty one not the domain i have been using.
    when i migrated to this machine, i must have renamed my good old domain file, put it somewhere and set iweb to run with it.
    the problem is now that i accidently opened the wrong domain file, iweb is set to run with this empty domain file. i.e. all my pages and sites appear gone.
    i have no idea where my real domain file is.
    "spotlight" or "file-->find" are no help whatsoever in locating it (heck, they could not even locate the other 'domain' file... does spotlight not search in the library area of the HD?? seems really lame). it must be somewhere. it was just here a second ago. it's not in the trash either (which i have not emptied for a while).
    any help?

    hm, i tried Cmd-Shift-C and typing "sites2" in the search field.
    searching 'this mac' and 'file name' or 'contents' turns up nothing.
    i tried typing 'domain' in the search field also.
    also tried to search by 'kind' typing in 'iweb domain'. turns up nothing.
    not even the domain file which i know is there (the wrong one, in the library --> iweb folder) and is called 'domain.' and which get info tells me is of the kind 'iweb domain'. ireonically, only its alias comes up (which is not in hte library folder).
    as for spotlight, it only searches 14 categories of files, and you cannot add any .
    is it just me or is something wrong here? if you search for a file that is clearly there, but search does not turn it up, wouldnt it follow that the search function is no good?
    i also tried searching as 'contents' a phrase which i know is in on one of the pages in the domain. but no luck either.
    i have not deleted the domain file. i am positive about that. i just opened a different/wrong domain file. that in itself should not delete, damage or hide my domain. its just misplaced. the frustrating thing is of course that the sites are still all there published online! but i cannot change or update them without the domain file... (of course i have a backup from a few weeks ago, but would be nice not to have to start from that again...)
    any more suggestions on more effective searches? e.g. i know that the 'kind' is called 'iweb domain'. any search program that could do anything with that?
    thanks for the cmd-shift-c hint btw. will come in handy in other ways im sure.

  • Why does my iWeb Domain file not open in my laptop?

    I'm having trouble opening my iWeb domain files on a different computer (which I need to be be able to do). I've looked at the other relevant discussions re iWeb domain file editing issues . The problem seems to be (I think) that I have no Library folder in my home folder. Nevertheless, when I open iWeb on my main computer, my website is there. When I copy that file and try to open it from my Macbook Air, all that shows in iWeb is junky stuff I've done on my Macbook in iWeb. My actual website is nowhere to be seen. I've checked the size of the Domain file too, to make sure I've copied the right one and I have. And does anyone know why I neither have a Lbrary folder in my user folder on my Mac Mini or my Macbook Air?

  • Where is IWEB domain file in lion time machine backup

    I have read around and know how to locate the iweb domain file on my computer- apparently the library file is hidden and you need to press alt to unhide it.
    But my problem is a bit different. I recently reformatted my system back to lion. I was going to use my time machine back up to restore but apparently its corrupt and I can only manually nagivate the files now. I'm trying to look for my iweb domain file while navigating the folders but cannot find it. I went to library and application support but there is no Iweb file there. This back up was done in lion, so I don't know where i can find this "hidden" library file.
    I know its a hidden file because when i go to the library folder on my mac- HD>library> app support I don't find the iweb domain on my computer. Its only after i unhide it by pressing alt when i click on "go" do i get a library folder in which the iweb domain is housed.
    I would really like to recover my website but dont know where to look on my timemachine backups.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    The default location for the domain file is your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. So go to that folder in Time Machine and see if you can see and recover the Domain.sites2 file.
    Then make the Lion library visible as described below and open it with iWeb as described below:
    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    NOTE: If you repair disk permissions with Disk Utility on your boot drive you will have to rerun the script with Terminal to make the Library folder visible again.
    For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files  Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
