You need to copy over the Domain.sites2 file whose location is shown here...

  • IWeb and a new computer

    I have a new macbookpro, and want to access my old (from previous mac laptop) IWeb website and make changes to it, but when I open IWeb on the new computer, it prompts me to start all over again. Can I get in to my old iWeb and be able to edit it?

    Similar but different issue.....
    The hard drive on this laptop, my MacBook Pro, crashed and was replace. Much of the personal data was lost. Leopard was also installed.
    I have several .Mac accounts. And have sevral websites that have been created. The sites that were constructed using .Mac Homepage I can still access and edit. HOW DO I ACCESS AND EDIT THOSE SITES CREATED WITH iWeb?
    Aside from the disappointment and inconveneince of having my hard drive crash and losing personal data, the service experience has been horrible. My first call to Apple care led me to the .Mac support. After no response in the prescribed "48 hours", I arrived at the Apple Store in Phoenix armed with my ProCare card. NOTHING! No one could help and I was directed back to either Apple Care or the .Mac suppofrt web pag....Apple ****.
    This is the Applke nitemare the PC clones speak about.
    Thanx for the help, if it ever comes....

  • Opening old iWeb site on new computer?

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and now want to work on my blog with iWeb. I published my site to a folder on my old iBook and then transferred it to the Pro with a usb drive. Now how do I open my site in iWeb on the new computer?

    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I published my site to a
    folder on my old iBook and then transferred it to the
    Pro with a usb drive. Now how do I open my site in
    iWeb on the new computer?
    Publishing your site to a folder is useless for your purposes. You need to transfer the Domain file which created the site to your new machine.

  • Transfer iWeb  content to new computer

    My G4 finally died, but before I could back up any iWeb files. I have bought a new MacPro now, and need to know if its possible to get it all back from the internet version somehow?

    Tim,
    I'm sorry....there really isn't anyway to import your
    online site back into iWeb for further editing and
    publishing. In the future, you should keep a backup
    of the Domain file if you can. This is the one file
    in which iWeb stores everything about your website.
    Best of luck to you....and congratulations on the new
    computer! I am officially jealous!
    I'm having this same problem-- I uploaded my iweb content to a pre-existing server (not .mac). since then I've had to do an erase and install (long story) and my last backup was a month ago. I downloaded all the iweb files from the site... but there's no way to restore them and get back to work?
    my question is:
    if I restore my domain file from a backup a month ago will I be able to add files created AFTER the backup? there's no "import" feature in the file menu.
    or am I just screwed?
    thanks in advance

  • Font probs transferring iweb to a new computer?

    I transferred my iweb site to a new computer and a lot of the fonts are messed up? (note, I used standard ariel fonts)
    I copied over the entire domain folder.
    the original site was made on version 1.1.2 and i am now running iweb 2.0.3 could someone tell me if there is something i can do to remedy this as it'll take a long time changing every letter that needs fixed. Thanks - Ricky

    Great info roddy. One part though where you wrote
    Double click this domain file to launch iWeb.
    Although functional this is not necessary. Would not want to confuse OP into thinking the procedure of double-clicking the Domain file is required everytime the desire to open app is present. _Look Here_ for complete Apple documentation. Given that information coupled with your suggestion OP could copy the Domain file to anywhere on their new Mac and then double-clicking Domain file would be +absolutely required+ to open project in iWeb. This would then set new location of Domain file where afterwards simply launching iWeb app from dock, app folder or otherwise would open the Domain file, wherever it was located. Your suggestion mentioned copying Domain to equivalent location of ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb and in doing so double-clicking is not required since this is the default location iWeb looks for the Domain file at anyway.

  • Moving iWeb to a new computer

    i have just taken delivery of my new macbook pro and I want to move the maintenance of my iWeb generated web site on to the new computer - how do I do it?

    Hi Brian
    The first thing to do is launch and then quit iWeb on the new MBP, this creates a couple of folders and files.
    Next, on the PB, navigate to User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
    You are now going to copy this file to the same location on the MBP, there will already be one there (you creates it above). As long as you haven't done any work in iWeb on the MBP then you can simply Trash the existing domain file and replace it with the one from the PB.
    Now launch iWeb and you should see you old site on your new computer.
    Some might suggest moving the preference file as well:
    User/Library/Preference/com.apple.iWeb.plist
    I would just go with the domain file first and see how you do.
    Of course, if you are copying the whole of your old Home folder across then it should be there.
    Having done this, I would suggest doing a Publish All, I am not sure if any changes happen to blog naming etc when moving from PPC to Intel. Someone else felt that it might have for them.

  • IWeb stuff to new computer?

    I will be upgrading to a new iMac soon from a hand-me-down G4. I am not the original Administrator of the G4, and have managed to use it without major issue (after acquiring the proper password). I assume I could take the G4 and have the contents of the hard drive transferred to the new machine, but I would really like to 'start fresh' and eliminate some of the naming issues and some duplicative file issues that exist. The computer's 'name' is the name of the person who had it before me, and I don't know (or maybe don't want to deal with) having a new computer that has carry over from an old one. My primary question is this: I have several websites created in iWeb (one of which is a substantial one that it used by my work colleagues). Is it possible to somehow 'copy', or whatever term applies, these sites to a new machine?

    In reading some other threads on the subject, I came across some posts regarding the possible conflicts between a PowerPC machine (my current) and a new iMac (Intel based). Will copying my Domain file to a flash drive, and then installing it in the new iMac cause any problems?
    No. I can't see why it should...
    I'm assuming Safari Bookmarks, Address Book, and Mail info can be imported into the new machine via syncing with .Mac?
    That should be the case yes. If that isn't the case however you just would have to go into Safari and go to File=>Export Bookmarks and transfer that file to the new computer (may have a look at permissions). Same for Address Book. And for Mail I guess you could transfer Mail folders and go to File=>Import Mailboxes (not sure about that one sorry... I'm not a syncing pro... However it's also good to start Mail from zero... I always have tons of useless Mails...)

  • Made a site in iWeb 08, have new computer and iWeb 09, How do it get it to

    So I made my site in iWeb 08 last year and published it to my .mac account. I got a new computer this year at school, I am a teacher, and now don't know how to get my web site into the iWeb09 app. I have the folder that I saved/published to from the old computer. I need to go in and make changes but can't get there from here.
    the site is web.me.com/andrewpatch
    Thanks for the help.

    iWeb can't open or import previously published pages or files.
    You need the domain.sites2 file from that User Application Support folder.

  • Access/edit existing mobile me domain on iWeb on a new computer

    I recently had to change over to a different mac. I think I copied all the correct files I needed from my old mac. These files are now on my new mac. I need some help to find the best way to open up the iWeb software on the new mac and access/edit my existing website which is on mobile me.
    I tried going to the domain file and opening it, but it says the document "domain" cannot be opened, then it says, Can’t open file “~/Documents/Domain.sites2.”
    I also have the iWeb files on my new mac-- but I am not sure where to begin.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Brandon.
    Your published site on www.me.com is a finished product. It cannot be "opened" as such with iWeb. iWeb only opens it's domain file. Taking what is on www.me.com and putting it into iWeb would be like trying to take a cake and have it become milk, eggs, and flour again. Just not the way it works.
    You can take the code of your website and put it back into iWeb piece meal or use an HTML editor to edit it (although this requires knowledge of HTML). But lets not go there quite yet.
    The file you need is the file that was on your old computer called "Domain". By default this file is located in Home > Library > Application Support > iWeb > Domain. (aka ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/iWeb/Domain)
    Do you have this file from your old computer? If so, put it in the Home > Library > Application Support > iWeb folder and then double-click on it.
    If you get the same error message try the following:
    Ensure all your software is up to date (Apple Menu > Software Update).
    Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
    Home > Library > Caches (I remove the whole folder. It will be re-generated upon restart.)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWeb (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
    If the same error occurs again:
    _Make a copy of your domain file
    _Create a new folder on your desktop File > New Folder
    _Put the copy of your domain in the folder
    _Click on the folder and go to File > Get Info
    _Go down to the bottom of the Get Info window to the section called "Sharing & Permissions"
    _Unlock the padlock at the bottom
    _Click on the cog and click on "Apply to enclosed items..."
    _Try to open the domain inside the folder
    If the same error occurs again, do you have backup copy of your data? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
    Hope that helps.

  • Opening older iWeb project from new computer running iWeb 08

    I have a project done under an older version of iWeb on another computer, and want to open it from the new MacBook Pro running iWeb 08. I can see the files in my iDisk, but they don't seem to be complete.
    Suggestions?
    Thx

    You need the domain.sites2 file.
    iWeb uses that file to store all the content you create with the application.
    What you see on your iDisk are the published pages.
    You have to get the domain file from that other computer.
    It's here (or should still be there):
    +~/Library/Application Support/iWeb+
    (the tilde (~) represents your home directory)

  • Syncing an existing iWeb account with new computer.

    I recently got my computer's hard drive erased, and now I don't know how to pull up my website that I created in iWeb on my computer. How can I re-register my domain and existing website to iWeb since it doesn't recognize it. Thanks.

  • How do I open an active iWeb built website in iWeb installed on new computer

    Purchased a new MacBook Pro, I installed iWeb 3.0.4 but cannot figure out how to import my active websites files. I did some research yet (as far as I can tell) nothing pertains to working with a computer running 10.9.3.
    I started to follow instruction which used AppleScript Editor but there aren't the fields mentioned in the instructions available in my version of AppleScript.

    If you have problems opening the Domain file with iWeb the following may help:
    To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks 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
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    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.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Optionsmenu to bring the this window:

  • Import existing iWeb site to newer computer with iWeb (iLife) '09

    I have a website I developed on my older Mac using iWeb (iLife '06) and I want to transfer it to my current iMac (Snow Leopard + iLife '09) to use the better tools (for FTP uploading of multiple sites)... I transferred the folders from the original site to my "sites" folder but it doesn't show up when I launch iWeb. HELP!

    iWeb stores your website data in a domain located in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
    Transfer this file to the equivalent location on your new Mac and then launch iWeb.
    Your original file will be Domain.sites. iWeb '09 will then convert it to Domain.sites2.
    Make sure you have a backup of the domain file before doing any of this.

  • Help! How do I edit existing iWeb pages from new computer?

    I'm up a creek. I have a ton of pages published through iWeb using my desktop iMac G4. Recently the hard drive died. Eventually I'll have the hard drive replaced and files extracted, but in the meantime I don't know how to access my iWeb pages. I'm using my husband's iBook G4 now.
    I didn't publish to folders, I just published right to our .mac account.
    Thanks!

    Your iWeb data is stored, not in your actual html files, but in a file called Domain.sites which is stored in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. You should backup this file whenever you make big changes to your site, because if it gets lost or damaged, you will have to start all over. Sounds like this might be the case for you.
    For your future reference, I have an Automator app on my site that will help you backup your Domain file(s). http://iweb.aardvarkland.com

  • Transferring an old iweb site onto iweb on a new computer

    Hi,
    I made a website using iWeb '08 on my laptop and managed to publish it onto the web using an FTP. My hard drive then blew up and i stupidly hadn't backed up anything. Anyway I now have managed to download it onto my laptop on a file but cannot work out how to get it back onto iWeb so i can continue to edit and update it.
    Sorry for the essay and any help will be much appreciated!
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iWeb cannot import files only create them. So you'll have to recreate the site from scratch. However, Chapter 2.3 of tje iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the published files in the reconstruction of the site.
