IWeb on another computer

Could anyone advise me on how I can use iWeb on different computers to update my website. Currently I used IWeb on my iMac, but I would like to be able to update my website using iWeb on my MacBook Air, I could not find a way to make it happen, tried to copy and paste the whole site, but doesnt seem to be a facility to open existing files.
Thanks

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in 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.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file 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.
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.
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.

  • Can I update a blog created in iWeb from another computer?

    Hello Forum,
    While I am away from my office base, I would like to update my blog (created using iWeb) from another computer. I have a dotmac account.
    I thought doing this should pose no problems, but I simply can't figure it out.....
    Hope someone can help me out on this one.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Greg

    When you go to .mac and log in, you should see stories there regarding the features of .mac. One of the recent ones (should still be on the front page) is Tech note: Using iWeb on more than one Mac
    Underneath this header, you'll find
    "All you need to do is quit iWeb (if it’s open), locate the domain.sites file (Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites), and move it to wherever you’re going to use it. Then double-click the file in its new location. iWeb will launch, and you’re done. From then on, iWeb will automatically save your work in the new location, and you’ll be able to publish your site from any Mac that has access to it.
    So, if your domain.sites is small enough to fit on your iDisk, you could keep a copy there and use it from any computer that has iWeb 1.1 or later installed to update your blog.

  • Publish iweb from another computer what am I doing wrong?

    I am really struggling here, can someone please explain my problem to me....
    I have two mac laptops with iweb. I asked about publishing my backed up blog on the 2nd mac in case number 1 mac crashes. here was my question...
    how does the new computer know where to publish your site to... is the address in the backup file from the primary computer? if not how do you tell iweb on the second computer where to publish the primary computers site. Bobbie j.
    I followed these instructions from helpers here
    Copy the Domain file to another computer, but not to the default location, and then double-click the Domain file.
    ok I did that but it wants to publish to the number 2 macs iweb address since i'm on that computer so then i was told the following
    It doesn't know where to publish your site, which is why you need to be logged into your Mobile Me account before publishing. All you do is log in and publish and all sites are published to iDisk.
    so I logged into my m. me account and then double clicked on the backup file in finder (flash usb memory backup) and iweb opens with the correct backed up site but it published it to the number 2 computers default iweb site (overwriting its own site with number 1 comp. site) even tho I had logged in to number one comp. iweb account. it was even open as a page under iweb page. help.
    I get how to move my backup web file to a secondary computer but still can't get it to publish to number ones site. what am i missing please, it can't be this hard.
    bobbie j.

    Firstly, iWeb is the tool that you use to create your web site or blog in your case. iWeb does not have any accounts. It is MobileMe that has the accounts and you log into your MMe account and then click publish within iWeb and your site is published through MMe to your iDisk - this is your host. If you publish to MMe, then all your sites and blog are published to your iDisk.
    How many blogs do you want 1 or 2?
    How many mobile me account do you have 1 or 2?
    If you want two separate blogs on two computers, then to be able to publish separately you would need to change the names within iWeb at the top on the left hand side and then publish blog 1 and blog 2 separately. All MMe hosted sites will have the url web.me.com/username/sitename, so either site1 or site2.
    I thought your question was asking how you can update your blog using two computers? If you want the same blog then you can just update from either and then publish. If you want different blog names, then call them blog 1 and 2 and publish.
    Perhaps the easiest way to do this would be to have 2 totally separate MobileMe accounts, 1 for each computer, so that you can log into each MMe account on each computer and keep your blog totally separate - in this case with two MMe accounts you would publish to two iDisks, so you have blog 1 on computer 1 and blog 2 on computer 2, each with their own MMe account.

  • Updating iWeb from another computer?

    I am building my website on my Desktop. I also have iLife 09 on my Macbook Pro as well. Is there a way that I could update my website via my Laptop even though I am building the site on my desktop? This wouldn't be a permanent thing. Just thinking I could update my site while I am on the go rather than wait till I got home to do it on my desktop.
    thanks!

  • How can I transfer JUST ONE IWeb site to another computer?

    I am new to making IWeb sites and am now making them for
    other people. I have about 10 sites in my IWeb folder and need to
    be able to give a person's site to them.
    I need to be able to transfer JUST ONE site to another computer.
    Right now, I am only able to transfer ALL the sites I have made to
    another mac and then, it wipes out all their sites! How can I prevent
    the ultimate wipe out of all their iweb sites yet give them JUST ONE
    of mine?
    thank you in advance,
    Beth http://www.yourzensite.com

    First, read Wyodor's post about changing the publishing settings HERE.
    You can create the extra folders in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb or, as I do, in a folder named iWeb in the Home folder.
    Create a folder for each website, give it a suitable name and paste the Domain.sites2 file with all the websites into each.
    Open each one in turn, double click the Domain.sites2 file to launch it in iWeb, delete all the sites except the one whose name is the same as the folder name, save and quit.
    Now you can launch any site individually in iWeb and sent a copy of the appropriate folder to the client.

    Keep in mind that your Library folder is hidden by default in Mountain Lion.
    To find it, hold down the option key and choose the Go menu in the Finder.

  • Moving Domain for iWeb from one computer to another

    Have moved my website domain from Library in one computer running Leopard into Library in another computer running Lion.
    Deleted default Domain in new Library, but when I open iWeb app the empty default Domain opens with nothing in it and returns back to Library folder in new Library. Even when I open Domain with my site directly from Library iWeb opens as a new app without my site. Everytime I delete the default Domain
    it returns.
    How do I get the computer to recognise my site Domain in Library of computer running Lion? And to not keep recreating default empty Domain?
    I have done this transfer before between 2 computers running Leopard and it works every time.
    Help! Please.....

    As previously noted I got my Domain across to new computer running Lion and everything runs just fine
    Editing my site hasn't altered except that now after pressing 'Publish', the edited site won't open and I am taken to the site of my Australian Server 'Big Pond' with a message saying that my site doesn't exist.
    When I navigate to my site my edits have worked and the page opens normally.
    My site publishing settings are:
    'Publish to Mobile Me'
    Site name - gareth-sansom.com
    The site though opens at http://web.me.com/gsansom/ (where it used to automatically open in after pressing Publish)
    I have tried changing site name to that in 'Publish to Mobile Me' but then nothing works including publishing.
    If I leave Publish to Mobile me as 'gareth-sansom.com' the publishing works, but I can't open my site after the publishing without navigating to it.
    Am I missing something here?

  • In trying to transfer iWeb pages (not uploaded) to another computer I went into the library and transferred the domain onto the desktop. Disaster! On opening iWeb all previous (uploaded) sites have disappeared. Help!

    In trying to transfer iWeb pages (not uploaded) to another computer I went into the Library and transferred the domain onto the desktop. Disaster! On opening iWeb all previous (uploaded) sites have disappeared. On opening the domain all I can recover is the many component parts, and when unzipped the code. Help! Mike

    Code in a domain file - really?  That is not possible because the domain.sites file does not contain any html or css code at all - the domain file is your iWeb data file and you won't see any code until you publish your website.
    If you can see html code, then you have the wrong file and it is a published version of your site which iWeb can do nothing with - iWeb has no import facility so cannot open any html files.
    Go back and ensure that you have the correct domain.sites files that can be found under your User Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites and if you have Mavericks then you need to go to Go and press the alt key to reveal your hidden User Library, so that you can then get to Application Support and then iWeb and then your domain.sites file.
    You will also need to go and download either DomainCracker or iWebSwitch which allows you to open individual domain files under Mavericks, because from Lion onwards, you cannot open individual domain files.
    Also, it says that you are still using iWeb 08?  If this is so, you'll either need to upgrade to iWeb 09 by going to Amazon and purchasing the iLife 09 or 11 boxed set, both of which contain iWeb 09 or you need to switch to newer software that is actively being supported and developed such as EverWeb (http://www.everwebapp.com).

  • How to open the created site on another computer in iWeb

    I have an interesting problem. I have created a complex site on my computer and now I would like to be able able to open it and work on it on another computer in iWeb. But whatever I try does not work. I published the complete site to a folder and thought I could open it from there on the other computer. But when I start iWeb, it immediately forces me to select a design from the new site etc, when I cancel it, it closes. No sign of "open" command. Any hint would be deeply appreciated. Thank you

    Separate domain files can be stored in individual folders and launched in iWeb by double clicking them. Alternatively, you can manage these sites with the freeware iWebsites.

    I am building a website using IWEB, on my computer, and I am stuck suddenly, the page I made yesterday is hidden by another page and I cannot pursue..
    Is there a way to learn the process, also I see a contradiction with ILIFE 2011, reading about an announcement of Steve Jobs....? that iWeb would not longer be??

    How is the first page hidden by the other page?  Where are you experiencing this problem?  In iWeb's window or in the browser window of the published site? 
    Are you referring to the page's link in your navbar?  If so check the Inspector/Page/Page pane for the "hidden" page and make sure it's set to be included in the navbar. If that's not the problem describe in detail what you mean and include any screenshots you can make of the problem.
    As far as the longevity of iWeb read the following:
    As you now know iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    NOTE: the iLife 11 boxed version Is no longer available at the online Apple Store.  To get a copy you'll have to try Amazon.com or eBay.com.

  • How to copy one of my iWeb sites to another computer

    I have version 3.0.2 of iWeb.
    I created a site for someone else on my computer and now I want to give/transfer that site to another computer that has iWeb.
    How do I do this? I read something about all the iWeb files being in the Application Support/iWeb/Domain file, but having never heard of this before, I don't know how to JUST load that SINGLE site and not all of my iWeb sites.
    I was hoping that it was/is something as easy as copying and pasting a Word document.
    Help?
    Sara

    Duplicate the domain file that contains all of the sites. Move it to the other computer and open it with iWeb. Select the sites that you don't want and delete them from within iWeb leaving just the one site.

    How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I already have? Can anyone help, please?

    Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
    The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.  Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it.  Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
    Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site.  If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side.
