IWeb opens only a blank startup site, not my iWeb-made web-files

I made over the last years different websites with iWeb, untill very recently it all worked well. But now suddenly iWeb only opens the same (blank setup 'domain') page everytime I try to open a (different) website.
I now already installed iWeb09 again, updated to 3.04 but still the same problem.
Last try for me is to startup an old Mac, OS SnowLeopard, with iWeb still on it and try to open the web-files there and safe them that way, to turn them back on the OS Mountain Lion again and open them than again. Maybe ...
I didn't read this problem anywhere here yet.
Maybe I have to change to Dreamweaver or another softwareprogram?
Thanks for thinking and your suggestions.

In Lion and Mountain 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 Mountain 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.

Creative SB0410 digital out only works for dd/dts, not for stereo or web videos...

Creative SB0410 digital out only works for dd/dts, not for stereo or web videos...
Hi all,
Need some suggestions here.
I have an old Creative sb0410 7.1 channel card and after reading few long threads, I am able to output dd/dts via 3.5mm to rca connector.
However, the problem is I only hear sound if the video has dd or dts sound. When I play normal MP3 or youtube videos, there is no sound.
Is there a way to configure the digital out so it sends all sound to the receiver whether it's dd or dts or regular stereo?
Thanks

As a workaround, I used another 3.5mm stereo to RCA adapter on stereo LR output of sound card and hooked to a different input in my receiver.
Problem, is I have to switch input in receiver for non DTS/DD sounds.
It's disappointing that my upscaling dvd player sends all sound signals via coax but this card does not.
Isn't it supposed to send all sound signals via coax regardless whether it is DTS/DD or normal stereo/mono etc?

IWeb opens only a blank template not my full site.

MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6.8, iWeb 3.0.4
Trying to update my web site and it won't open when I click on the icon. I get only a blank iWeb template. The other 20-30 pages seem to have evaporated.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks.

Thanks for your response Viking, but Hosting is not the problem. I now use Hostgator for hosting and it works fine.
The problem is when I click on my iWeb icon on my computer to open the site I have created over the years, my site does not appear. I get only a blank iWeb template as if my site has evaporated.
I am trying to add some new material to my site which resides on my laptop.

ITunes opens only in safe mode; does not open at all in regular mode (possible solutions that I found to similar problems don't seem to apply)

I haven't been able to open iTunes normally since june when I did the automatic upgrade. I have tried resetting it to an earlier version with no results and have tried everything i could find on apple support in similar problems and nothing seems to be working. When I open my task manager it does show iTunes in the process tab but it doesn't open. When I check my iphone it says that I am not connected with iTunes.
I don't know what to do anymore and I am getting frustrated to the point of changing phones to avoid this problem

No error messages are given. It will either freeze while saying "Accessing iTunes Store," or without saying anything at all.
I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

Lost all my thumbnails - new tabs open only a blank page. How do I get them back?

The support topic on this question says to look for a "pin" icon in the upper left corner of the browser. I do not show one. Firefox used to just automatically populate my new tabs page with the thumbnails, but it is no longer doing that, and I don't know how to fix it.
I downloaded some freeware that changed a number of browsing options (default browser, added Bing bar without my full knowledge, etc.). Got that all removed but then Firefox wasn't working well, so I had to uninstall/reinstall the program. Now my thumbnails are gone and I can neither get them back nor create new ones.
Help!
Cheers, Dolly

MOST EXCELLENT. Not only did this work, but I was able to do it all very easily AND it brought back all my previously set up thumbnails in the order I had them arranged on the new tab pages! Wonderful.
I will definitely keep these instructions for future reference, but I had already gone in and deleted all apps and extensions that I did not recognize as from Firefox or that I hadn't added myself. So I'm pretty sure I got rid of the pesky malware that caused the problem already. Great links for that task however.
Thank you SO much!!
Cheers, Dolly

How do I configure Firefox to open multiple pages on startup and not set my homepage to open mutliple tabs?

So I know how to set my homepage to open multiple tabs, however it has the undesired effect of making it so those tabs are opened every time I hit the homepage button. Is there a way to set Firefox to open multiple pages on start-up, while not actually setting the homepage to open multiple tabs?

You can edit a copy of the Firefox desktop shortcut and add the links to the target field to make Firefox open those pages when you use this shortcut.
See:
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Command_Line_Options
If you run out of space (i.e. exceed the maximum length) then use a CMD file with the start command.

MBP 17" makes noise when opening app or scrolling internet site - not harddrive (using SSD)

Hi,
my computer makes a strange noise - like a rumble sound (like a harddrive when it is writing / reading something). So I really thought it would be the harddrive and I did not pay to much attention to it since I wanted to upgrade it to a SSD anyway.
But after I upgraded the sound continued and it drives me nuts. I did already all resets (VRAM, PMU) but it is still there.
Other forums said it could be an interference with the soundcard and should be heard through headphones as well, but when I do so I can't hear anything through the headphones. It still comes from the computer case somewhere which is hard to locate since it is not very loud but still noticeable in a quiet environment. And still loud enough to bother me since I work without music.
In addition I thought it is something with the power supply.
I am using the 85W Power Supply that came with it. I even tried another one from my MacBook Pro 13" (60W) with same results and one from my old MacBook Pro 15" first Intel also (60W) the only difference with the one from the 15" that I hear a whining sound, high pitch noise coming from the upper left side of the case where the power supply is plugged in. I think that is just because it is an old plug.
Can anyone help me? Anyone having a similar Problem?
Thank You!

Open dialogue box in Lion is not supporting drag and drop files (UPDATE)

This is freaking me out. Because now in Lion you can't drag and drop file from the desktop (and other folders!) to open dialogue box. It was most usefull function in Mac OS X. Why Apple kill usabillity?
Access to the desktop is not a problem (command + d), but if the current file is located deep in the hierarchy of folders, it becomes a big problem!!!
Dear Apple, please fix it as soon as you can.
UPDATE: Omg, I found the problem, it works only if I drad and drop file on the bottom panel, not in all open dialogue box area:

Interesting, this is the second time today I've seen this one come up. It does work, drag and drop works like crazy everywhere here. What does console say when it happens (or not, in your case)?

Quicktime files only show up as icons, not as thumbnails in my files

None of my quicktime files appear as thumbnails (in their folder), even though I have selected 'show icon preview' in the view options menu. I would love to see the first frame of the video clip to help sort my clips.
I've tried posting this question in the quicktime formum with no response. I'm hoping someone can assist me with this. I would also be amenable to posting it in a more appropriate forum, if someone has such a suggestion. Please advise. Thank you in advance.
Fredsel

Mine are mixed - some QT files show as icons, some as thumbnails. The same is true of .wmv files and other formats - some do, some don't.
I have a feeling this may be related to a long-standing problem with the way OSX generates/displays file icons. I'm no expert at all, but I think that it has to do with the data contained in the resource forks. However, I am fully open to correction on this.
Advice elsewhere in these Discussions suggests trashing the Launch Services plist and restarting or logging out/in: see below for a suggestion I found in another topic.
delete the file: homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist and log out/in
I've just tried this myself, and it did not appear to work for me - it apparently fixed just one file and not the rest. However, when I did "get info" on the unchanged files and used edit/cut on the file icon, it then changed the QT icon into a thumbnail.
This may have nothing to do with trashing the LaunchServices plist, but I suspect it might as this didn't happen when I tried cutting the icons earlier. However, it doesn't seem to help with other applications (eg vlc).

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
:[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

The "open a new tab" button does not open a new tab.

The "open a new tab" button does not work. Neither does "file; new tab", or Control T. Can you please tell me how to fix this?
Thank you.

My desk top shortcuts to favorite web sites only open in a blank page. I have to then reload in a new tab from the toolbar or a bookmark. It is annoying but not critical.

I have shortcuts on my desktop for yahoo mail and a few other sites. I used to be able to go directly to them. Now it opens in a blank page and I have to load the site in a new tab from the toolbar shortcuts or a bookmark. Also my saved passwords no longer exist. It all happened after a firefox upgrade to my yahoo tool bar.

You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.
Have a nice day!

Elder "domain" file opens only new iWeb site

Hi folks,
[I'm a newbie on this site, tried to find the answer in other topics, but couldn't find....]
While buying a new hard disk, I made a simple backup of my old folders on my Ipod. Importing user/library/application support/iWeb/domain on to my (new) desktop, it's only starting up iWeb application, opening the choose...option, or a new test-site I recently made.
How to activate the elder domain (with a fullsize website in it) ?
[I can control-open domain, forcing to show the Html and see my text as text only]

Hi Tom and others,
'm not sure what you are trying to do, but opening a Domain file >>accomplishes nothing. The Domain file must be read by the iWeb app
Shortly, the trouble is that bringing in the old "domain" file from my backup disk into the iWeb/application support - file [after deleting the newly formed "domain"-file], it doesn't affect the starting up iWeb at all. The app is always giving a new start-up: You only can choose for a new template.
So I don't want to change anything, I only want to add my old site after having cleaned up my original hard-disk [and making a backup by hand]
In fact there are some more files in the Library that form the "old" site. There is a iweb.plist, there are cache files including maps with cache-code. There are also specific preferences, there are even Thumbnails with a date filing in it. But you can't force iWeb to read these all, because it makes a new file after starting up, not being able to open something that was made before.
However, there is one thing that gives me hope: the resouces of the "old" domain are showing in the media browser.......after I changed one of the new preference files with the old one.
friendly regards and thanks for helping me so kind,

TS2167 I changed my header in iweb and when I published the site the font had shrunk and it displayed incorrectly. It was only on my home page, not on others. I have iweb 3.0.4. Help!?!?

I changed my header in iweb and when I published the site the font had shrunk and it displayed incorrectly. It was only on my home page, not on others. I have iweb 3.0.4. Help!?!?

Just in-case anyone els runs into this, I figured it out... I was working from my hotel and apperantly the fire wall was not allowing anything to uplaod, but I wasn't getting an error message from iweb, it would say that everything was published succesfully even though it wasn't. Once I went home and used my connection eveything worked fine.

IWeb opens only a blank startup site, not my iWeb-made web-files
