Iweb on brand new computers?

Has anyone purchased a new computer (since July 15, 2011 and with Lion installed) and found iweb preinstalled on it as part of the usual iLife suite that comes with a Mac? I did a quick "spotlight" search in the Apple Store the other day. While the icon showed up in Spotlight, I was not able to "click on it" to open up IWeb. I clicked and nothing happened. Didn't know if Lion worked differently, or if iWeb wasn't really present.
If not, could you get it from somewhere--an old disc you owned or the internet???
If you moved the contents of an "old" computer to your new one, did iWeb 09 "come along?"
Does anyone know anything about a new iLife suite in the near future. I want to upgrade my laptop to a new computer, but I don't want to loose the ability to use iWeb. In your opinion, do I need to be in a hurry to get it?

Did you verify that there was an iWeb applicaiton in the Applications folder? There may not have been any domain file for iWeb to open. With Lion there's an issue with iWeb but there has been a workround. In Lion the Finder folder is now invisible. To make it permanetely visible enter the following in the Terminal applicaiton window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time 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 applicaiton.
Just launch the applicaiton, 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

I have two separate iTunes libraries on two separate Computers. I need to consolidate them so I can play them on a brand new computer. How do I do this so I can play them off an External Hard Drive on my brand new computer?

I have two separate iTunes libraries on two separate Computers. I need to consolidate them so I can play them on my brand new computer. How do I do this so I can play them off an External Hard Drive on my brand new computer?

Why, if it told you you have insufficient space on your computer, would it suggest making more space available on your phone?
At a guess, you have insufficient space on your phone. Installing software will typically require more space than the final size of the software, perhaps even twice or three times as much, for the installation process. You can easily dump some videos or music temporarily, and then synch them back in afterwards.

I just purchase a brand new mac computer and I need to purchase new adobe CS software. Do you know if Adobe CS5 Design Premium-MAc is compatible with new mac computers with the updated software?

I just purchase a brand new mac computer and I need to purchase new adobe CS software for work. Do you know if Adobe CS5 Design Premium-Mac is compatible with new mac computers with the updated Yosemite software? *No previous adobe CS software versions are on this computer

There are known technical issues with any older version on Yosemite, even CS6. Some can be worked out, others may not be relevant to you, some will remain unsolved.

Is iweb available for new apple computers?

Is iweb available for new apple computers?

To access you iWeb domain file you will want to click on your desktop. Then use the Go Menu. hold the option key to reveal the Library. Then Application Support-> iWeb
That's where your iWeb domain file should be.

I recently purchased a brand new Airport Time Capsule 2TB. I already am using the previous generation time capsule to back up all my computers data. May I ask how can I complement the usage with my new time capsule?

I recently purchased a brand new Airport Time Capsule 2TB. I already am using the previous generation time capsule to back up all my computers data. May I ask how can I complement the usage with my new time capsule?

By default your new Time Capsule will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN
Most likely your iMacs will be connected to the wireless network created by the Virgin Media router. However, both should see the Apple Network under the AirPort icon's drop-down menu as another wireless network that they can connect to. Is this not the case?

Brand new iWeb won't launch

I just purchased iLife '09, and according to the computer, it was "installed successfully". Unfortunately, when I attempted to launch it for the first time, I was confronted with the following error message:
"Can't open file "~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2."
I went to my Application Support folder in Library, and there was no iWeb folder to be found! Is this supposed to be created when iLife is first installed, or what am I doing wrong here?
Thanks in advance,
Colin

I went to my Application Support folder in Library
That should be your Home/Library/Application Support folder.
First, delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try launching iWeb again.
If that doesn't help continue:
5 - move the domain file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
6 - launch iWeb, create a new test site and save.
7 - go to the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
8 - move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
9 - launch iWeb and try again.

Brand New MacB Air and i haven't been able to get passed the format which has had to be done twice because, I have a French Numeric Keyboard and Language in English. The minute I type in my password, the keyboard gives me letters that i did NOT type.

I live in Switzerland and can only buy a Mac Air with a French or German keyboard, no chance to buy an English keyboard Mac here,. When setting up I chose the French numerique keyboard, although there are two choices French or French numerique. I put in my language as English. When all was set up I came to the start page and had to put in my password, by the grace of g....I just happened to see the first letter I typed before it turned into a dot. My password which was supposed to start with the number 2 showed a french e with accent before it quikly became a dot.
Because of the dot system, this meant that I had no clue what the keyboard was typing as my password ...........and true enough my password was not accepted despite my trying all combinations. I have had to reformat twice now thanks to Apple Chat and both times my password was not accepted. I am in the process of formatting it again, this time on my own. If the Start page does not accept my password again this can only mean that the Mac left the factory with faults. I could not be more disappointed with the money spent and the time and trouble that Apple Chat and I have spent in trying to correct a brand new out of the box Mac. I have a cheap Toshiba laptop also with a french keyboard and english language which gave me no trouble at all. I am not impressed with the so called King of computers! First of all the dot system is daft. People want to be able to see and confirm their passwords before they are set for good. Second, this problem is going to give me a lot of grief. Switzerland business is not renowned for its after sales service or the time it takes to do repairs. When I had an issue with my Vaio laptop which was still under warranty, they kindly picked it up from my house, repaired and promptly returned it. How's that for good proper service.

i didn't read a lot of your 2nd paragraph, but it seems like the password is the issue, right?
do a true clean install
reboot your machine and hold down command+option+r, you should see a spinning globe - if you don't see the globe or anything that reads internet recovery, shut down and try again
at menu, chose disk utility and once there, find your HD on the left side, select the physical name and erase it as mac journaled
exit disk utlity
at menu, choose install OSX
this time, when it asks for a password just hit continue, it will let you complete without a password
you should be able to get into your laptop, now figure out what password you'll be able to use with your kb issue

Brand new iPod Touch, updated to iOS 4.2.1, WiFi no longer working

Bought my kids brand new 4G iPod Touches for Xmas, set them up and they worked fine. Last night, when I connected them to sync some new apps, iTunes prompted me to update the OS to 4.2.1, which I did. Now, the iPods can no longer connect to my Time Capsule. I have tried resetting the network settings, rebooting the iPod, even resetting my TC, and nothing seems to work. My Internet connection is fine, as all other computers in the house can get online just fine.
Any ideas or suggestions? This is really frustrating. Thanks!

I tried doing a restore on the iPod, twice. Once with a restore from backup, and then again as a new device. Still no WiFi. I'm really not happy about this. I'm almost certain it was the update to 4.2.1 that broke it.
Please help!!!

Spotlight is not working on brand new Mac mini

Hi,
I got an issue with two brand new Mac minis running 10.7.3 (11D50d):
Spotlight is not working. I'm only getting the Wikipedia-Search.
Here's what I did:
Installation:
- took the stock Minis and set up two users, admin and user (limited account)
- updatet the System
- installed manually: Adobe Reader X, Office 2011, Firefox 12, Flip4Mac, Perian, Cyberduck, Google Earth 6.2 (the installer without the updater), VLC 2
- installed using AppStore: CalendarBar, TextWrangler, Unarchiever
- copied a few documents (Word and Excel files) from a PC to the Desktop
Troubleshooting:
- tried to restart Spotlight by adding the entire harddrive to privacy using »Spotlight« within the System Preferences
- that threw an error "no priviliges"
- started the System from the recovery system (on an USB-thumbdrive) and repaired permissions
- that did not help
- tried to restart Spotlight through the Terminal, running the command: sudo mdutil -E /
- that command returned: No index.
- the tried: sudo mdutil -i on /
- returned: Error: unable to perform operation. (-400) No index.
- went the hard way
- unloaded the daemon: sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
- erased the Spotlight folder: sudo rm -fr .Spotlight-V100/
- loaded the daemon: sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
That made everything work fine until I did a restart of the System. After the mini restarted I was back at square one...
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this issue?
Apple support suggested to reinstall the system. Something I can't do right now, as people need to work on those computers and cannot take a tow hour break...

Hi Ray Land,
We can help narrow down the cause. What operating system are you using on your new Mac Mini?
If you are running the Mountain Lion OS, you can download the latest driver here. An important note is that the current print queue must be deleted before installing the new driver. This will ensure proper communication.
If this doesn't work or you need further assistance, please contact us here.

My Macbook Pro 13' from 2011 keeps kicking me off the internet, even though my internet service (complete with brand new router) shows strong bars. Any help?!

I've had this 13 Inch Macbook Pro complete with the Lion since October 2011. I've been having trouble with the internet connection. I keep getting 'unable to connect to the internet' or 'website unavaiable'. We have a brand new router, so we know for certain the router isn't going out. Both of my parents computers connect just fine without getting kicked out. I thought maybe it was the seat, so I switched chairs and rooms and positions, but that doesn't seem to help. I check my internet connection and always says 'connected' with full bars. I've tried different browswers, using Safari and Google Chrome. It's frustrating not being able to get online and get kicked off in the middle of whatever you're doing for a reason you can't figure out. Any help/suggestions? It's been going on for a month or so now.

After biting the bullet and ordering more RAM, my computer now is working a ton better. So that must have been the main issue. With 8 GB RAM, I can now even run Parallels fluidly (better than my work PC!) where before simple things like logging in to my MBP after reboot could take forever.
The place I went to had several other people getting RAM upgrades at the same time as me, so between this and other comments I've seen in discussions here and elsewhere on the Internets, I take it to mean that either Apple should bump up the base RAM on its new machines, and/or stop charging so much for additional RAM.
I refused to believe a Pro machine bought with Lion installed would come with too little RAM for light to medium usage, but it was apparently the case. I'll mark this as a correct answer and hope some other poor soul will come across this thread and be helped by it.

How can I make my Mac like "brand new"?

Hello.
I apologise for this being somewhat rambling but it's hard to explain exactly what I want to do.
I have decided to give my iMac G5 to my sister-in-law. (I have already replaced it with an Intel iMac and MacBook and three computers in one house is over the top!) I would really like for her to have the "out of the box" experience as if the Mac was new.
It originally came with Panther and iLife 4. I have since upgraded to Tiger and iLife '05 and I would like to have these installed for my sister-in-law rather than the original software. However, she needs Appleworks which I only have on the Panther disks. I know I have to do an erase and install of Tiger (I'm not quite sure how to do that though) and install iLife '05. I assume I can just install Appleworks from the Panther disks. Can I do all of this and not have to enter personal details, such as a name for the home folder? It would be nice for my sister-in-law to plug in the Mac and then get to do that herself, as if it was brand new.
My sister-in-law isn't terribly familiar with computers in general. She's never even seen a Mac. I realise I could just do the Tiger install and leave her to do the iLife and Appleworks. But being so new to it all, it would be easier if I could do it for her.
Any advice, as always, would be appreciated.
Rachel

If you have ever had any personal files on the iMac which you would rather not share with anyone, you should use Disk Utility to erase the hard drive using the option to write zeroes. Overwriting the files is the only way to ensure that they can't be recovered at a later date.
After that is complete, use the restore discs that came with your iMac to reinstall all of the original software (including AppleWorks). Then use the Tiger install disc to upgrade it to Tiger.

How do I transfer iweb site to new macbook pro?

I used migration assistant to transfer from old macbook to new macbook pro. Both are using lion. When I open iWeb on the new computer it does not show my site. Both computers are connected by firewire, where do I find the files? This site is not published to mobile me, it is hosted by godaddy.
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. Once you've unhidden the library it's a simple matter of copying the domain file from your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on the old Mac to the same folder on the new one. You may have to create an iWeb folder on the new Mac if there is not one.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time 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 applicaiton, 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 compiiled 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.

How do I start over and bring my MacBook Pro to a brand new out of the box state?

I have a MacBook Pro with Retinal Display purchased in June 2012. I have backed up once using Time Machine. How do I put it back to the brand new just purchased out of the box state? Any ideas? I have done this with windows computers, but never a Mac.

To restore your MacBook to factory settings, you have to use Internet Recovery. Follow the steps:
1. Press Command, Option and R keys while your Mac is starting, and open Disk Utility.
2. Select Macintosh HD in the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
3. Close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X. This can take hours because your computer has to download OS X from the App Store.
After restoring the computer to factory settings, open App Store > Purchases to download iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand
