IWeb functions no longer work - web pages gone!! HELP!
I was working in iWeb this evening and when I went back to finish it... everything was gone!!!! I can open the program but all the menu items are dimmed and I cannot start a new page or access a previous page. Neither can I find what I was working on. I lost several hours of work!!! I also lost all the other pages that I built for clients. I think I probably still have them published on the web but no backup here. What kind of a two bit program is this?! Is there anything I can do other than throw out the program and reinstall it? If anyone has any ideas, I would great appreciate it.
Also is there a better web building program out there for the Mac. Something more reliable? At this point I'm about ready to find a stable program for the PC (shutter at the thoughts of that!!!)
Thanks in advance

I suggest you first see what key iWeb Domain file(s) you have on your Mac's internal HD. The Domain file is normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). Since you may have multiple Domain files in different locations, you could use Spotlight to search for them — they have an extension (usually hidden) of:
.sites2
But Spotlight doesn't look in all areas of the hard drive — so if no luck, download and run Find File to search for ".sites2". ...If you find any .sites2 files, back them up now before proceeding:
_iWeb: Backing up your Domain file_
By the way, a Domain file should open up in iWeb when double-clicked.

The following trick has worked for some:
Quit iWeb. Start iPhoto. Select a couple of photos, click on the iWeb icon at lower right and choose Photo Page. iWeb will open up and invite you to choose a template for your new Photos page. Choose any template so that the page is created and then delete that newly created page.
...Now perhaps things are no longer greyed out in iWeb. If not, +"A lot of problems can be solved simply by..."+ Read more in the "Fix iWeb" section here:

Only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data — in regard to the Domain file, it says:
If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb.
You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.
Paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

You could take a look at Sandvox Pro — you may particularly appreciate its integrated search engine optimization:

No software can be guaranteed to be reliable and your Mac's internal HD may crash at any time. Even if you use what is considered by many to be "reliable", you still need to protect your data by backing it up. On the Mac, you have several options: Time Machine and the following free apps can also be used to regularly create a bootable clone of your entire internal HD on an external drive:
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper
http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
...then if your internal HD fails, you re-boot with the Option key held down. Your Mac will start into Startup Manager, where you can use the arrow keys to select a Mac OS X volume to start from, i.e. your bootable clone. Besides the advantage of not losing any valuable data, you can continue working and use Disk Utility app in Applications > Utilities to diagnose the problem.
And this free SMARTReporter may give you an early warning of impending hard drive failure:

...There are only two types of HD: Those that have crashed and those that haven't ...yet.

Following upgrade to 34.05, can no longer access web pages of the SAN management interface, the airco system, the vSphere Web Client, etc. All still work in Chrome.
The airco system gives an error:
Firefox cannot guarantee the safety of your data on 10.32.16.50 because it uses SSLv3, a broken security protocol.
Advanced info: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap
The SAN management interface and vSphere Web Clients display an empty page. Not sure whether these also have problems due to SSLv3.
I understand you wanting to be cautious, but I seriously doubt I need to face an attack from our SAN. Please, at least give us an option to connect regardless.hello, ssl 3.0 is disabled in firefox versions 34 & upwards by default - if you want to re-enable it you can do that like this which will make you vulnerable to the recently published poodle attack though:
enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''security.tls.version.min'''. double-click it, change its value to '''0''' and restart the browser.

Acrobat 9.0 - "attach to email" function no longer works (Win 7, MS Outlook 2010)
Dear All,
All of a sudden, my "attach to email" function no longer works. If I open a PDF in Acrobat 9.0, and I try to "attach to email," nothing happens. This feature has always worked for me in the past. When I check for updates, Acrobat reports that I'm up to date. I recently updated Flash Player 16 and Reader XI (11.0.10).
My OS is Windows 7, 64 bit, and I use MS Outlook 2010.
Thanks so much for your time.Hi rlee711,
You might need to refer this kb file to resolve the issue:
Attach To Email doesn't work | Acrobat 9.4.2
Although, Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Outlook 10, I would like you to prefer using only the supported product.
To understand in detail, please refer the link given below:

Places function no longer works on iPhoto.
My Mac has OSX 10.6.8 and iPhoto 8.1.2. The Places function no longer works. I can select Places that I used on earlier photos, but it no longer locates new Places on the map. I have read other people's discussions of this problem on the web, but I am not technical and do not understand much of what they say. Any suggestions for a no-technical person would be welcome.
I have this same problem on my new MacBook Pro. The biggest problem is that the embedded Google will NOT find most things that Google Maps finds. For example, the Oberoi Amarvillas in Agra India.
I also can't move the pin for any of the places it already knows. I wonder if this might be related to trackpad settings? I can't find one that looks like it might help.
I can find locations using their map coordinates (for example, 27.168647, 78.049150) and then go back and rename the place to something more helpful. But I can't fine tune the size of the location, which makes it hard to have highly localized places. And it gets the name of the state wrong, which makes it hard to find locations by general location.
This puts a damper on processing photos right away, if I can't record them while I still remember their locations. -
Playing a symbol timeline in Edge from Javascript function in an exteranl web page
All-
I have a javascript function in an external web page. i want to use this function to call a symbol timeline inside an edge file.
i've read about bootstrapping but i'm unsure how to use it in my project
any ideas?
ZHi again Elaine,
I actually had some success after many attempts with using your code. I can control the .stop() and .play() of the "NamePlate_sym" symbol. Yet, I am still having trouble doing anything else with it. I cannot .hide() it, nor use .html("Change text") on another element on the stage called"Rectangle". If I can accomplish that and all a global function on the stage, I'm in good shape.
I placed the following script in the header of the .html file that gets loaded into the iFrame within the Edge composition:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.parent.AdobeEdge.bootstrapCallback(function(compId) {
comp = window.parent.AdobeEdge.getComposition(compId).getStage();
alert("CompID is "+compId);
var symbol = document.createElement('div');
symbol.innerHTML = 'Rotate';
symbol.style.cssText = 'background-color:#fea; width: 50px; text-align: center;';
symbol.style.cursor = 'pointer';
symbol.onclick = function() {
if (comp.getSymbol("NamePlate_sym").isPlaying()) {
comp.getSymbol("NamePlate_sym").stop();
else {
comp.getSymbol("NamePlate_sym").play();
window.parent.document.body.appendChild(symbol);
</script>
Once I put window.parent. in the first two lines of code and the last, my test worked. As I mentioned earlier though, I still can't get the syntax correct to .hide() an element (i.e. comp.getSymbol("NamePlate_sym").hide(); does not work), or more importantly, change the innerHTML value of an element on the stage. The code either does nothing or freezes.
Thanks... Tommy -
Apple Color Picker Erase Swatch function no longer works.
It was always possible to erase one of the swatches in the ubiquitous Apple Color Picker by dragging a white square over the swatch square you wanted to erase. Now that function doesn't work anymore. Very odd. You can add new colors as always, you just can't erase them. In any application where I use the Color Picker this function no longer works. For example Pixelmator, Rapidweaver, etc.
Any ideas?Sorry, I read too much into it. I guess I couldn't imagine it was just scrolling. I was thinking you were talking about going from page to page with a swipe gesture.
Given that, their software is either broken or something is interfering. Any other programs have a problem with two-finger scrolling? -

Scan function no longer working on my Printer
Recently moved locations and had to re set up my PC. Since then the scan function no longer works. I get the error message "Scanner reported an error", "Failed to open a session on the device". I have uninstalled and reinstalled the HP drivers, i have checked the internet connections and all are working. Actually have had a lot of troubles earlier with the rinter and the scanner re wireless connections but hoped to have finally overcome these.
Not part of the problem but a real gripe as to what is the purpose of wireless devices when they never work as well as the ethernet connected devices, someone really needs to get this sorted <gripe over>.
Can anyone help me please to get my system back up and running. I surgent now as currently on paternity leave and need to get some administrative issues doen from home in the next couple of days.
Many thanks,
This question was solved.
View Solution.StevieDoug,
Thank you for trying my recommendations, I believe this is a wireless issue. Let's go ahead and start troubleshooting the network:
I would like you to shut down the Router, Printer and Mac in that order. Wait atleast 60 seconds, then power on the items in the way they were shut down. Re-attempt the scan. Was this successful or are you still getting the error message?
If you are still getting the error message, let's try Pinging the Mac and testing the connection, click on the link below:
How to Ping on Mac OS
If pings are successful the issue is not likely communication, instead it is probably a firewall blocking the scanning communication. Continue below:
To turn on firewall protection:
1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security, and then click Firewall.
2. Open the Firewall pane of Security preferences
3. Click the lock icon to unlock it, and then type an administrator name and password.
4. Click Start to turn on Firewall.
To allow only specified applications and services to connect:
1. Click Advanced.
2. Click the Add (+) button, and then select the application or service in the dialog that appears.
Are you able to complete the scan? Please let me know the results!
Thanks again,

Send link function no longer working since update to 7.0.1. Always worked till now...I use Outlook as default mail client, and have not changed any settings since original setup. This is very frustrating! Any help will be appreciated.
You can try running the combo updater over your install but you might need to re-install Lion. Both options should not erase your data but if you do the re-install of Lion it's recommended that you backup first as a precaution.
OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo) 1.91 GB

To re-install, boot into the Recovery drive and select to Reinstall OS X.
Hold down Command R when restarting to enter Recovery drive. -
The XCarlink iPhone/iPod accessory for Mazda Bose autochangers is functioning differently after iOS 5.1. The Shuffle function no longer works and it plays Albums or Genius Playlisys only (not self-made playlists). Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Previously, the iPod function enabled one to see the track that was playing and control playback (such as repeat or shuffle) via the iPhone screen. Now all I see is an "Accessory Connected" message.Somewhere in there, is there a question for us, your fellow users in these user to user support forums?
