IWeb opens but there is no project window

I use iWeb extensively and have never had this issue before. iWeb opens and shows all the menu items but no project window.
I used Time Machine to restore an older version of my iWeb Pages folder, didn't work.
I used this help discussion (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2199580?start=0&tstart=0) to fine and rebuild the iWeb domain or package folder. If I remove the old package iWeb creates a new one and will open an empty project window. Partial sucess, but if I replce the contetns with my old package contents it again won't open the projects and there is no project window.
I can't beleive I never noticed iWeb has no way of opening an exsitng project!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I REALLY don't want to have to re build my sites from scratch.
I'm on iWeb '08 2.0.4 and Mac OSX 10.8.5.
Thanks,
David

Well yes, iWeb can open an existing project, but it does have to be your domain.sites file and not a published version of your website because iWeb has no import facility so cannot open html and css.
Find the correct iWeb data file and iWeb will most certainly open it and this can be found under your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
Your a probably having problems because you are using iWeb 08 with Mountain Lion and iWeb 08 has been reported as having bugs and not working with Mountain Lion.  If you want to continue using iWeb, then you will probably need to upgrade it to iWeb 09.  Unfortuntately, the only way that you can get iWeb 09 now is to buy it from Amazon.  Get either the iLife 09 or iLife 11 boxed set and both of these contain iWeb 09.
iWeb 09 works with Mountain Lion and you can also have separate domain.sites files which you cannot in iWeb 08.  In iWeb 09 you can also use direct publishing rather than publishing to a folder.
Try upgrading to iWeb 09 if you want to continue using it with Mountain Lion or your other alternative if you don't want to buy iWeb 09 is to continue to use iWeb 08, but use it on a Mac still running Snow Leopard with which it works.

    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.
    To open 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.
    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 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.

  • IWeb opens but my site won't

    I am a Photographer and I use iWeb to publish online contact sheets for my clients. Basically for each job I complete I copy my existing domain.sites file to a new folder rename it add my content publish it to the web and I'm good to go.
    Well for the site in question which is a rather large one 56 galleries each with over 40 photos that was nearly complete and I was trying to put the finishing touches on, I click to open it and iWeb opens but the site does not. iWeb is running I can open the inspector window the font window image adjust, and color windows just not the window with my site in it. Hmmmm any ideas anyone??
    I can go back and create a new site from a different file and it opens fine. But this one site wont open? I've tried deleting the prefs in the User file, and deleting the Cache from the user file copying the file to another location, opening my backup copy. Also when I opened it to day for the first time I got the iWeb tutorial window.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Michael

    Try deleting the prefs again - Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist
    Restart your Mac and run Disk Utility to repair permissions.
    If this doesn't work you need to consider the possibility that the domain file is corrupt.
    When you say you are duplicating the domain file to another folder and adding content to that, are you deleting any content from this file as well as adding new?

  • When i try to open iphoto it opens but its just a gray window that has the loading icon

    when i try to open iphoto it opens but its just a gray window that has the loading icon

    What version of iphoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Have downloaded iso 7.0 to my iphone 4s everything works except when i click on  itunes store it opens but there is no content there

    Have downloaded iso 7.0 to my iphone 4s everything works except when i click on  itunes store it opens but there is no content there.Has anyone suffered the same glich or know a solution this problem?.Tanx

    Answer is no.
    If you want the iCloud backup you have to have n internet connection, thus WiFi.
    The not working WiFi has happened with quite a number of users.
    It is not exactly clear what is the cause but there are suggestions to clear it up:
    Some people have had success by removing an apostrophe from the iPhone name. If your iPhone is called something like “John’s iPhone” then this might work. Go to Settings > General > About > Name and change it to something with no apostrophe.
    Some people have reported success by putting the iPhone into Airplane mode and then going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings, but the problem may return.
    You could also try going to Settings > Control Center and disable Access on Lock Screen then turn your iPhone off and on again.
    Make sure that your router firmware is up to date.
    Try backing up your iPhone and then restoring it. Check how to factory reset an iPhone for details.
    If nothing is working for you, try contacting Apple or take your iPhone into an Apple Store.
    Succes, Lex

  • IWeb is open but there is no window...

    I got a pretty strange problem with my iWeb...
    Everything was fine until I duplicate a page, which I often do. iWeb stopped responding so I forced quit it. But now when I open it again, there is no more window... The application is open for sure, but that's it !
    Does anyone know how to fix this ?
    I tried to open the "domain" file (from the library), but it doesn't change a thing ! It's a little creepy... And I really need to get it back !
    Message was edited by: angele.b

    Presumably you've already tried re-booting your Mac. If so, anomalies can sometimes be fixed by the following...
    1. Quit iWeb
    2. ~ Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWeb.plist (drag to Trash)
    3. Start iWeb ~ iWeb will automatically re-create its plist file with the default settings.

  • Photoshop CS3 opens but immediately freezes every time- Windows

    I'm attempting to use CS3 on a Dell laptop- 64 bit- Windows 7.
    When first installed it worked fine, then suddenly it was non-functional.  It will open, but ANY request at all will cause it to freeze.  I have to close it through Task Manager.  I get no error messages, and when I went in to view the event viewer there is nothing there under Applications.
    I've changed the default printer to a non-network but haven't done much else as I don't have administrative priviledges on this (work) computer and our IT guy is uninterested in helping me figure out the problem.  We tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that did nothing.
    Any help appreciated!

    Run Sysinternals System Monitor and watch registry and file access as well as the various DLL hookups. Use filtering set to Photoshop.exe and Error or Failure operation to find the culprit amongst those hundreds of thousands operations. I'm sure your IT guy can help you with that if he's halfway smart...

  • ITunes won't open but there's no error message...

    ...it just won't open.
    I just updated to iTunes 7 because of an issue I'm trying to correct with my iPod. I believe I've had this problem with iTunes 7 before, and the last time I ended up reverting to iTunes 6.
    When I manage to successfully install iTunes 7, I click on the desktop icon to open it and it looks like it's about to load, but then nothing happens. So I try opening it from the start ment and still nothing. Then I try opening it by trying to play an mp3 through it, and still nothing.
    I really hope someone can help me with this, because if I end up needing a new iPod I'm gonna need the newest iTunes for it, I'm sure.

    Help! This is happening to me too, and I can't find the fix, if there is one. I just downloaded the newest update (wish I hadn't). It took a few tries to open it, but it worked. The second time, it didn't open. NO error message. I've tried every way of opening a program, and nothing happens.
    (1) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on the PC?
    NO NORTON INTERNET SECURITY 2006
    (2) try launching your QuickTime. does it:
    (a) launch perfectly fine?
    (b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
    (c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)
    IT SAYS IT IS LOADING... FOR OVER 15 MINUTES
    (3) reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
    does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?
    ITUNES.EXE DOES SHOW UP IN THE PROCESSES TAB AND STAYS THERE
    THE ONLY OTHER ODD THING IN THE PAST YEAR, IS THAT 2 WEEKS AGO, A WINDOW CAME UP ASKING IF I WANTED TO RECONFIGURE WHAT STARTS WHEN I START WINDOWS. I CHOSE THE WRONG THING BECAUSE NOW THERE ARE TONS OF EXTRANEOUS PROGRAMS RUNNING ON MY COMPUTER.
