IWeb FTP sites from Power Mac to MackBook Pro

How do I move Powe Mac/iWeb 9 FTP sites to a MacBook Pro/iWeb 11?

You might have a MacBook Pro, but it does not have iWeb 11 - that does not exist.  It has iLife 11 installed, but you still have iWeb 09, which is still part of the iLife 11 boxed set.
To move your sites, you need to move your domain.sites files and transfer these from your old Power Mac to your new Mac.  These are located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.  Make sure that you do in fact look under your User Library and NOT your System Library, as iWeb is not there.

  • Hosting Your iWeb Site From Your Mac

    If you don't have a .Mac account or you don't want to pay a monthly fee to host your new website you created with iWeb, you can use OS X's built-in Apache Web server. To accomplish this, follow the steps in the link below.

    I was able to get this to work, using the same configuration you mention. The way I did it was to set up the IP address on my LAN using fixed static addresses, and to have the router "forward" the http packets to the Mac running Apache. In Network system preferences panel, you also need to set the DNS servers address to the address of the router on the LAN. In order to reduce hackers trying to break in, I don't use the standard port 80 for my address, but use some other 4-digit port (e.g., 8182), so my website address ends up looking like www.whatever:8182. Instead of "no-IP.com" I used the free dynamic name service from http://www.dyndns.com/. I also put the web content on a firewire disk, which requires a little editing of the httpd.conf file. This was another security precaution. Anyhow, its been working great -- not a single problem. Also, Weblock is great shareware that lets you assign login IDs on the web folders.

  • Move a site from one Mac to another without losing sites already there

    I would like to move a site from one Mac to another without losing the websites that I have already built on the other Mac. Transfering the Domain file is not helping. Is there away to open the new domain file and adding those sites to the domain file associated with this copy of iWeb? I have searched the discussions but am not seeing any clear answers. They all seam to invilve new users or losing the sites already on that mac.

    I seem to have solved my own problem. This may help other users. I found a tip and a web page that suggested moving the Domain File from the application support folder to another on the desktop on one of the computers and then putting the 2nd Domain File from the other computer in a separate folder on the desktop. This is because you can not change the name of the Domain File . Then by double clicking the Domain File with the site wanted, iWeb opens with that set of sites.
    I started with what was to be the new master Domain File and stated a new site with a blank page. saved, did not publish and closed iWeb. Opened from the other Domain File and then clicked and opened the site and page I wanted, then selected all, copied all and closed iweb. Went back to the master Domain File , opened iWeb using that, went to the blank page and pasted in the page from the other Domain File from the other computer. Saved, closed iWeb and repeated till I had all pages. Changed the names to match the sites and Pages. I did not allow iWeb to publish during this process. Took all of 10 minutes and I now have a Domain File with all the sites in one place. I then copied this file back into its original location in Library/application support/iWeb on both computers. I now have all sites in iWeb on both computers.

  • Working one iWeb site from two Macs

    I have two Macs, and use my desktop for working at home, and my laptop for working away, or when on holiday for working with photographs and, hopefully, blogs. I set up my iWeb site initially using the desktop, and then tried to edit the site using my laptop, only to find that it cannot, seemingly, be done.
    Help! Does anyone know how to edit one iWeb site from two machines, or is there, perhaps, a practicable workaround?

    The answer is Domain.sites (extension hidden by default). You'll find this on your desktop machine at Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Copy that file to removable media and drag it to the same location on your laptop. Launch iWeb and you'll see your desktop site structure in the Site Organizer.
    Once you keep the Domain package in sync between the two machines everything will work smoothly no matter which you use. There's a neat tip here which may help in this respect:

  • Transfer iweb site from old mac to new mac

    I was wondering if anyone knows how to transfer my iweb site from my old mac to a new one. I'm still using both computers.
    Thank you for your help.

    transfer the "domain" file located in your user library/application support/Iweb.
    That contains the entire site.
    Also one should always maintain a backup of the file. If it's lost your back to square one.

  • IWeb site from second Mac

    I have been messing about building another IWeb site on my old G4. If I rename the domain can I just transfer the second domain onto my iMac and run both sites from there. If so how will I be able to open them individually
    Mike

    Mike:
    First, if you want to manage the sites from two computers without having to move the domain file(s) manually back and forth between Macs every time you make a change see Toad's Tutorial #20- Managing an iWeb Site From Two or More Macs with Dropbox-.
    As long as you down try to work on the site from both computers at the same time (those with split or multiple personalities ) there's no problem.
    Now for publishing each individually I use iWebSites to manage over 40 individual sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
    If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process and move it to another location on your HD until you're satisfied the separation process is completed and what you want.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

  • I need help modifying my iWeb site from another Mac than the one it was designed on:

    I did exactly as directed in the Help file "to Modify your site from another computer", but when I click on the Domain file it launches iWeb to start a new website without anything from the site I created. The Macs are a mirror image of each other with the same iWeb version 3.0.4. I am transitioning from my MacBook to my new iMac, so the laptop files were all transferred to the iMac by the Apple Store when I bought it. The only difference is that the laptop is OS 10.6.8, and the new iMac is OS 10.7.5. After the transfer of all the files at the store, I proceeded to make the website on the laptop, but now need to work on the website from my iMac...but I need help getting the file to work on the iMac.
    PLEASE HELP!
    Thanks!

    The trick that solved it for me was the last note about how to make the hidden folder appear (due to Lion OS 10.75):
    Note for OS X Lion users :
    To show the hidden Library folder in the Home Directory (Cmd-Shift-H) hold the Option (=Alt) key when choosing theGo menu in the Finder.
    Thanks!

  • IWeb, FTP and too many Macs

    I have created a site using iWeb on my MacAir with the assets uploaded to an FTP server through e-noise. I now have a iMac and would like to make changes on the machine, but every time I open iWeb it only allows me to start a new site. I'd like to be able to make changes on my iMac (at home) and on the road (MacAir). Can anyone advise me on how I might go about this please.
    Many thanks

    I use dropbox. I love it. It's free for up to 2GB of capacity. I'm editing my site from three different computers. It eliminates any confusion regarding which file was the last one edited, which machine it's on, etc. I keep my domain file in dropbox and keep an alias in the left sidebar of the finder window. So all I have to do to edit my site is double click the domain file alias in any finder window, no matter what computer I'm working on. The dropbox website also keeps backups of your files so in case you ever lose your work, you can retrieve a back up from DropBox.com.
    One thing you need to be careful about is to not edit your file from two different computers at the same time, The file can become corrupted if you do this.

  • Transfer site from another mac

    how can I transfer into iWeb a site that was designed with iWeb on another Mac?
    thx

    If you do not need to edit it on 2 or more computers but simply want to move it from 1 computer to an other :
    locate the iWeb file in the Finder : user(you) / Library / Application Support / iWeb / Domain.sites2
    copy this file to the same default location on the other computer: user(that one) / Library / Application Support / iWeb
    Kind regards,

  • My URL has been duplicated since moving my site from another Mac

    When I originally made my company site it was just a normal www.website.com and thats how it appeared in the address bar.  I then moved the site to another Mac (cant quite remember the steps I used) and did some updates to it and republished it and now it appears as www.website.com/WebSite.com/Home.html.  Nothing has changed with my hosting company or anything like that.  It literally changed just from moving it to anoter computer which is why I suspect that something happened with the folders or something with iWeb.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You want to have your cake and eat it too?
    Well, you have to choose. Do it the iWeb way, the situation you have now, or your way, publish to a folder and upload the content of that folder to the server.
    As it was before.
    You can't have both.
    BUT.
    As always, there still is a way to eat the cake.
    Read this :
    http://blog.wyodor.net/2011/08/avoiding-then-iweb-sitename-in-url.html
    It works. I know, I baked the cake.
    You choose.

  • Migrating from Power Mac G5 to Mac Pro

    Just ordered a new Mac Pro 2009 Nehalem Model, 2.66GHz, Quad Core, 640GB HD, 3GB Ram,
    OSX 10.6 and it should arrive this week.
    I am migrating from my old reliable Power Mac G5, Model 7,2, 400GB System HD, 750GB Scratch Disk HD, 5GB Ram, OSX 10.4.11. The major apps that I have been running are:
    Final Cut Studio 1 (with Final Cut Pro 5.1.4)
    Quick Time 7.6.4
    ILife 08
    IWork 08
    ITunes 9.0.3
    I would like to make the transition to the new Mac Pro as easy and painless as possible.
    Can anyone offer the correct steps do a proper migration that will insure that my files
    (especially the video files & address book entries) are saved and the new machine works as
    it is designed to work?
    Thanks

    Connect the two via Firewire cable and use Migration Assistant or see the following:
    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
    Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
    Screensavers written for the PowerPC
    System Preference add-ons
    All Unsanity Haxies
    Browser and other plug-ins
    Contextual Menu Items
    Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
    Kernel extensions
    Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
    Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:

    Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
    Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking
    will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
    If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
    1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
    2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
    3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
    4. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
    5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
    If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
    1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
    2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:

    MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
    MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
    Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
    In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
    In your /Home/Library/ folder:
    /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
    Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
    If you want cookies:
    /Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
    /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
    For Entourage users:
    Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
    Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
    Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
    If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
    5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

  • Moving Published web sites from old mac to new mac

    I published a web site using iweb on my previous computer and would like to be able to make updates to it using my new mac. How do I transfer the sites from my old mac to my new mac?

    Simply copy and paste the file. iWeb by default uses the following file:
    /Users/Username/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites
    If viewing thru the Finder, you won't see the extension. Also, it is not imperative that you keep the file in that location. Move it to where you want, then double-click it to launch iWeb. It will then know where you are keeping it and automatically open that file in that location when you launch iWeb the next time.
