Iweb files in my computer

I'm trying to locate where my computer places the pages of my site created with iweb. The only place I see it is when iweb is open in the site organizer.
I can publish it just fine. I just can't find the folder to back it up on a hard disk.

I was having similar trouble. I had my modified domain files but couldn't get them to open in iweb - it would just bring up the generic templates menu. I finally pulled the default "domain" file out of the applications support/iweb folder, then opened iweb again and was prompted to point to a domain to open(as opposed to automatically opening the templates choice file). I pointed it to my modified domain file and it opened. Seems like iweb somehow got stuck on the generic templates domain and wouldn't see my modified site until I pulled it out of the Applications Support/iweb folder.
Hope this helps.

Does anyone know how to transfer iweb files from one computer to another?

Change the name of the file to Domain-2.sites2 and try to copy it to the Desktop on the new Mac.
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion 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.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1

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.

Importing iWeb files from one computer to another

I have created a new website on my laptop and have my other sites on my desktop and want to transfer the site on my laptop to my desktop. I don't see where we can import files from one computer's files to another computer's files. Is there a way to do this?

Mark:
You can copy the domain.sites2 file from the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on your laptop to the Desktop of your desktop Mac, rename it to something like "site name.sites2", and put it in the iWeb folder with your other domain.sites2 file.
If you want to merge the sites in the two domain files into one new domain file you can do so with iWebSites.

How can i transfer iweb files from one computer to another?

Hi,
Recently my harddrive crashed and i had to rebuild my computer. I retreived most of my files but i cannot find where my iweb files are located. Does anyone know where iweb saves files or how to retreive my domain files from the web (if at all possible)?
Thanks

Could there be other location for the iWeb files?
Unless you moved the Domain file, that's its default location. Make sure you're looking in the Library folder in your Home folder rather than Macintosh HD. See also THIS recent post.

Where do I find my iweb files on my computer?

Help!
My 17" PB suffered a hard drive failure and I had to have it replaced. A local (independent) shop recovered some of my files and copied them to dvd's but I don't know where to look for my iweb files on the dvd's. I have visited the sites that I had posted and they are still up and running. I own and rent commercial buildings and from time to time they get tagged with graffiti. I use iweb to post the pictures and then advise the local police when I've updated the site.
Before the drive failed I had backed up some data using the Apple Backup (has the little orange umbrella as an icon) and I'm not sure if I managed to save the iweb files or not. I hesitate looking at my iDisk for fear that I'll delete what is there. Also, please let me know if I should send my hard drive to someone like Drive Savers to recover the data.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Place the blank iWeb page and the webpage in the browserwindow next to each other.
Do not select everything but select parts of the text and drag the text to iWeb.
iWeb creates a textbox with the formatted text.
Resize and position the textbox on the canvas.

Transfer iWeb contents to another computer & merging Domain.sites2 files.

Hi
I've a MacBook Pro with one set of iWeb files which are published. I've an older MacBook which contains a different set of iWeb files, which are also published. I want to consolidate both these set of iWeb files on one computer. I was reading that I need to transfer the Domain.sites2 file from one computer to the other.
When I do so, I don't want to clobber the original set of contents. How do I merge two Domain.sites2 files?
thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
How do I merge two Domain.sites2 files?
You can do that with iWebSites. Just remember to make backup copies of both domain files to be merged in case the merge doesn't go as advertised. I've merged sites before with no problem.

How to restore uploaded iWeb sites as iWeb data on your computer.

My original internal HD died. Fortunately, I had data backed up with Time Machine. Unfortunately, I had turned off automatic backup because Time Machine was giving my computer problems and I'd forgotten to do a manual backup. So the last backup my Time Machine did was in 2008. In that time when I Time Machine was turned off, I had created a few sites on iWeb and uploaded to my Mobile Me account. I now have a new HD and restored all my data from my Time Machine backup but the most up to date are from 2008. I've lost the iWeb files created in 2009. Is it possible to restore my iWeb files to my computer from the files I uploaded to the Mobile Me server? If so, how would I do it? Hope there's a way. Thanks.

As you already found out you'll have to rebuild from scratch. However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing image, audio and/or video files in the published site in the reconstruction of the site.
Also it might be a good time to develop a backup strategy.

New computer...can I upload my iweb files? it's not working!

I recently purchased a macbook pro and need to keep working on my website. I had created one using iweb on my previous ibook but now when I open iweb on this new computer, it won't let me open or import my files!!! I don't want to have to recreate everything.... but when I turn on iweb it just asks me to create a new page! Can anyone help?? I've been thru the help files, can't really find anything & not sure how to search for it...thank you!!

David, I realized that I didn't answer all your questions. I did the whole site in iWeb with the exception of the counter at the bottom of the pages. That is done with StatCounter which is free, and provides valuable information about how your site is being searched.
I noticed that some (if not all) of your text has published as image files (png) rather than text. If you want people to be able to google your site, change those back into text and register with google. the following is a good forum thread detailing how to get listed by google: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=679200&tstart=0
There are lots of good forum threads. Search for( text change png ) or something like that and you will find lots of info about how to keep text from changing to pngs.
Good luck, David http://web.mac.com/phelpssculpture/iWeb/

How do I transfer my iWeb files to a new computer?

I recently did a clean install of Yosemite to my new iMac, getting rid of years of unneeded files.
I have successfully reinstalled all the programs I use frequently, but I am stumped on how to transfer my iWeb files so they work on my new computer.
I have transferred the preferences and the domain files, but they still do not show up when I open iWeb.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
And......how I wish Apple would bring iWeb back. It is the best app for making websites I have ever used.

Place the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. If there's no iWeb folder create one and put it in there. Now try to launch iWeb and see if it will find and open the Domain file.
If you still can't open the domain file do the following:

Computer crashed - lost iweb files - how to update webpages now?

greetings,
my hard drive crashed this week. my iweb files are not recoverable. i have reinstalled my OS and ilife on my NEW hard drive. is it at all possible to access my webpages through iweb and continue to edit them? i absolutely cannot figure out how to do this.
thanks.

I take it you're publishing to a commercial hosting service. There should be a way for you to download your published files to your computer in order to use some of the files, photos, graphics, audio, etc. that you used initially to create the site in the iWeb reconstruction.
If you publish the iWeb site to the same server and with the same site name it will replace the current site and the domain name will point to it. That's essentially doing an edit and republish in iWeb or any other web application.

Lost iWork registration and iWeb files when transferring to new computer

Transferred iWork from my old computer to my new one but I need a new serial number to re-register it for some reason - but I've lost it. How can I find it again?
Also, where are my iWeb files? It's just opened with a blank page.
Thank you

Figured out the first bit (serial number in About) - still stuck on the iWeb thing. Thank you.

In iWeb I created a hyperlink to a file on my computer. When I publish I get a 404 error for the link. Can anyone help?

How would I check to see if the like works when I enable via the inspector pane
If you enable hyperlinks when you click on the link link to the pdf file it will open a browser window and display the pdf file.
I upload the pdf files to the server and link to them as if they were an external web page:
That's been more reliable for me than linking to the file as Link To: A file and have iWeb upload the pdf file to the serve.
