IWeb folder location

Where does iWeb store the site before it is published to .Mac? I have an old site which I've downloaded from iDisk and saved to HD. Now I want to import it into iWeb and have it appear in the left hand column. Any ideas?

You cannot import the HTML from a published iWeb site back into iWeb. iWeb needs your site's Domain file which is usually located here:
User > Library > Application Support > iWeb > ...
...If you can find that Domain file then double-clicking it will cause iWeb to open it and your pages will appear in iWeb's left hand column.
If you no longer have the Domain file, you could try to manually reconstruct your site by copying & pasting your content from your iDisk's folders or from your web-browser's window into a new iWeb page.

    You can search for Domain.sites2.
    Or find a document based on time/date you changed it. Then compare the icons.
    Spotlight is your friend. Cmd-F too.
    Or simply go to:
    ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
    Where ~ denotes your Home Directory (Cmd-Shift-H)
    Voila.

  • Itines folder location-tranfereing to the wrong area

    When you have the disk mounted, but before you import to iTunes, do a Get Info and the option you are looking for is at the bottom left of the screen - 'Compilation CD'. Just had to find a new CD to import to test it with

  • How to change folder location for Downloads

    I want this folder to be on a different hard drive... is there a way?

    RC -R
    True, you can copy the download folder's icon by selecting "get info" then clicking the icon, selecting copy, then selecting the target/desired folder for downloads, selecting "get info", clicking once on the icon and selecting paste.
    However, this doesn't get you the uber-cool green download arrow in the sidebar.
    Leopard really should have a preference in System Preferences for a default Downloads folder location...no matter the drive or location. I too prefer my downloads be directed to a different drive and had manually created "downloads" folders in my sidebars in prior versions of the OS.
    As others have commented, the icons in Leopard for the special folders lack differentiation in both color and silhouette/shape, relying on those embossed characters that are a bit too subtle for my tastes...but that's just opinion.
    Similarly, Leopard should introduce default browser and media app selection in preferences instead of requiring the launch of Safari or QuickTime etc.. It's an incredibly poor choice to bury preferences with system wide applicability in proprietary apps.

  • Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location.

    Hi, guys
    I cannot view delegate mailbox in Outlook. Following is my configure.
    I have two mailbox A-User and B-User
    Login Outlook as A-User, click File -> Account Settings -> Delegate Access, add B-User and give Editor permission of Inbox.
    Right click A-User's root inbox and select Properties -> Permission, select B-User and check "Folder visible".
    Login Outlook as B-User on other computer, click File -> Account Settings -> Account Settings, select B-User and click Change -> More Settings -> Advanced, add A-User.
    Now I can see a root A-User in Navigation Pane. But when I click it, it shows
    "Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location."
    or
    "Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location. The operation failed. An object cannot be found".
    I searched some solutions from internet, but all of them don't work. Could you give some suggestions? 
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    First, please double check if you have given the right permission to B-User on your step 2.
    In addition, we can try to give a higher permission to the B-user to check the result.
    Please feel free to post back and let me know the result.

  • How to stop iTunes from looking in old media folder location?

    Several years ago, I moved my iTunes media onto an external drive attached to my Airport Extreme, because I was  running out of room on the internal drive.
    I had all the usual problems with iTunes looking on the internal drive, but it mostly worked okay, as long as I didn't mind only being able to access my music at home.
    A few months ago, I got a 2TB internal drive, and told iTunes to use the default media folder location on the internal drive again. I also check to keep iTunes media folder organized, and to copy files to the iTunes media folder when adding them to the library. I had already manually copied the folder structure over from the external drive.
    I noticed that when I would start iTunes, I would see the activity light on the external drive, and it would be mounted on my Desktop. I checked, and the location for the media folder was still correct in preferences. I checked a file or two and (this seems to be gone in iTunes 12.1) it was still showing the file location on the other drive.
    I tried to manually "cut the cord" by renaming the folder on the external drive, but iTunes was cleverer than that.
    What do I need to do to stop iTunes from looking for files in the old location? I'd like to reclaim that space, but I'm afraid to remove anything over there, in case iTunes has been putting things over there instead of the new, correct location.
    This is a MacBook Pro 8,2 i7, with 10.10.3 and iTunes 12.1.x.
    Thanks,
    Sean

    Manually moving files yourself and telling iTunes where to store media in preferences does not do what oh so many people who come here with issues think it does. Changing iTunes' media storage preferences only tells iTunes where to store new media.  iTunes still looks for old media where it last saw it, namely on your external drive.  You have to let iTunes do the relocating of the old media files by consolidating to the internal drive.  It will cheerfully ignore any changes you do in Finder yourself.

  • How do I change the iTunes media folder Location and save it?

    I have a seagate drive where I store my music and have it shared as "M".  Each time iTunes starts up, it defaults back to C:\...... and if there is a device connnected, it transfers the purchases from that device to this directory.
    I need to manually go in and change the location each time iTunes starts.  Is there a way to save this location as the default?  I am on Version 10.
    thanks in advance

    If iTunes starts up and it can't get access to the location that you have declared as the media folder it will revert to the default subfolder of the library folder. Any downloads or rips will be put in that location until you correct the media folder location via Edit > Preferences > Advanced.
    Either make absolutely certain the drive is active and available before starting iTunes or place the library folder on the other drive as well (see this post)  so that iTunes either opens normally or warns that it cannot find the library. Note if this is a networked drive rather than locally connected USB/SATA there may be noticeable performance issues with the latter solution.

  • Can you "lock" iTunes Media Folder location?

    One of the things I hate about iTunes is that I keep my music collection on an external hard drive with mirrored RAID array. Songs I buy are automatically transferred onto that drive. But sometimes, the hard drive will go offline, for whatever reason - a power issue, bumped by someone, whatever. When that does happen, iTunes doesn't give you a warning, it just defaults to the internal Music folders. Until you realize that the hard drive is offline, every CD you rip, every song you buy will go straight to the iTunes folder on the Mac. When you finally reconnect that hard drive, and redirect iTunes to the iTunes Media Folder on it, you're hopelessly lost, with your music collection distributed between the two drives.
    First off, WHY can't iTunes notify you that it can't find the designated iTunes Media Folder? It'll notify you about just about every single other bloody thing that happens in the computer?
    Second, is there a way to LOCK the iTunes Media Folder onto another drive, such that iTunes can't find the iTunes folder on the Mac HD?
    Third, is there an easy way to scan the library on my Mac HD and on the external HD to find out which files are missing from the external HD and need to be manually added to the library?
    ks in advance!
    Than

    Hi Jonathan, it annoyed the heck out of me too. Answers to your questions:
    No idea, it’s probably trying to be “helpful”.
    I don’t believe you can lock iTunes the way you want, but you CAN stop iTunes from running WITHOUT THE DRIVE YOU WANT I got sick of manually transferring songs when this happened to me too. In my case my library is on a network server (NAS). I wrote the following AppleScript to deal with the situation and it will work for any externally connected drive, network, USB, FireWire etc.
    So to explain the script: I’m asking Terminal to list the directory contents of the iTunes Library folder on the external drive. If it can, it makes iTunes start. If it can’t (the “on error” bit), it beeps at you and displays a dialog box that tells you it cannot start. I then save the script as an App, and give it the same icon as iTunes has, but a different name (‘iTunes Custom Launcher” for example). Then I remove iTunes from the Dock and put my custom launcher in the Dock instead. Doing this means the only odd thing you will see is that when the launcher starts iTunes, there will seem to be two iTunes icons in the Dock, but only while iTunes is running.
    — Start of script
    tell application "Terminal"
              try
                        do shell script "ls \"/Volumes/Music/iTunes Library\""
                        tell application "iTunes" to activate
              on error
      beep
                        display alert "iTunes will not start until the Network Music Library is available"
              end try
    end tell
    tell application "Terminal" to quit
    quit
    — End of script
    In order to use the script, you will need to replace the folder location of the iTunes Library. If you’re not familiar with Terminal, see what Finder says the name of the Disk (or network share) is when it is connected. Assuming your iTunes Library is called “iTunes Library”, the format of the third line of the script is:
    do shell script “ls \"/Volumes/<disk or share name>/<folder>/<sub-folder…>iTunes Library\"”
    If, like me, your iTunes Library folder is at the root of the external drive, you only need to replace <disk or share name> with the drive name and forget about the <folder>/<sub-folder…> bit. If you’re not sure what to do to the script let me know and we can do more Q&A to see exactly what you need to make the script look like.
    So, the main steps:
    Open the AppleScript Editor and copy/paste the script into the blank window
    Save the script as “iTunes Custom Launcher” and choose to save it as an Application.
    Copy/Paste the app into your Applications folder using Finder
    To give the new app the same icon as iTunes has (optional), in the Applications folder, select iTunes and copy it. Do a “Get Info" on your new app and select the little icon in the top-left of the info screen so it has a blue outline, then do command-V (paste).
    Remove iTunes from the Dock and add your new app.
    For your question 3, I would just go into the music folders of whoever logs on to your mac and manually move whatever folders for artists/albums/songs are there; it should be the last time
    Let me know if you need more help

  • No files or folders shown in Organizer Folder Location view

    Hi!
    I'm using Elements Organizer 8.0. If I select the Folder Location option from the Display menu, then I get a tree pane to left with a few folders in it: "Public", my user name, Computer, Network and Offline Media. The Computer folder in turn contains my drives. However, none of the folders can be expanded (no [+] icon) except for the mentioned Computer folder. So I can't reach any sub-folders. Furthermore, no files are ever displayed in the center pane, regardless of what folder is selected.
    I have no filters set, I have tried enabling display of hidden files (not that this should matter) and can see no further options to change.
    I did discover a sort-of partial workaround. If i right-click on a folder in the tree pane and select New Folder, then a new folder will be created in the file system, and the parent folder with suddenly be endowed with a [-] icon. If i click this to collapse the parent folder, and then click the [+] icon to expand it again, the I can suddenly see all other sub-folders in this folder. Of course, this is still worthless, since I still can't see any files.
    Probably related to this is the fact that the Watch Folders feature is broken for me. I can select any folder (this is done through a standard Windows file selection box, so navigating through the file system to select the desired folder works fine) but it seems that the organizer never finds any files regardless of what folder I choose to watch.
    Any ideas?
    /Björn Stenborg

    Display > Folder Location view will only show files (and their containing folders) if you've previously imported them into the Organizer, e.g. with File > Get Photos And Videos > From Files And Folders.  Have you imported any photos yet into your catalog?
    Note also that Folder Location view is buggy and often shows the wrong contents of folders, and with large catalogs (tens of thousands of photos), it is intolerably slow.
    Regarding File > Watch Folders, it only imports photos that are added, deleted, or modified after you've started watching a folder.

    You will have to search for them. But that indicates something seriously wrong with the requirement. In effect you're using the local filename as a secondary key but there is no index on it. You should consider a database.
