IWeb pages disappeared!

Hi there! I brought up iWeb to add content to my website and it's not there! Hopefully it's a glitch but something tells me i may have to start all over again with this. I went to my Mobile Me account and idisk is not even working so i can't get through that way. Help! Am I totally 'Out of Luck'? Thanks. Thia

Sorry to hear your work is lost. This is not a typical Apple experience overall but unfortunately it is typical in this scenario. When or if you have saved your iWeb outside the default file folder Library/Application Support/iWeb, when Apple updates iWeb it often forgets where you were pointing iWeb to originally.
This is the third time it has happened to me, luckily this last time I didn't count on Apple to live up to their brand promise (they usually do, but of all things not to, people's pictures, memories and websites are something you don't want to mess with as you all know).
I backed up my site using Time Machine, unfortunately the last back up was April 27th so I'm still losing months of blogs about my daughter (which someday I was hoping to share with her when she's older). Disappointing that they can't get this right for a few people.
If you moved your domain.sites or domain.sites2 files to another location aside from the default you can try to find them and double click them to open. If you can't find them, you're SOL without a back up. All in all, my only terrible heartbreaking experience on a Mac.

  • 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).

  • Just upgraded  iWeb app to version 3.0.4 from an iLife 11 disk. I like some of the newer features but it seems to have one glitch: when I upload the pages to my ftp server, the automatic navigation bar at the top of the page disappears. Any ideas?

    Looks like a couple scripts are missing:

  • How to stop text box on iWeb page from automatically reverting to hyperlink when I click 'save'

    As far as I see, the main text box in the body section of my iWeb page reverts to a hyperlink (connecting to a file) when I click save.  I don't know how the hyperlink got activated to begin with--I must have done something, but I don't know what it was.  I tried this many times to fix it: went to Inspector "hyperlink" section, activated the text box in the page, un-clicked "make hyperlinks active" (so they are inactive), then un-clicked "Enable as a hyperlink."  That much works--the hyperlink (little white arrow in blue circle) disappears from the lower right corner of text box.  But as soon as I save (command S), the text box reverts to a hyperlink. 
    If I don't click save and move around the pages, it does not revert to a hyperlink.  It only reverts to a hyperlink when the file is saved.  Why is it doing this and how to stop this from happening--how to permanently return the text box to a non-hyperlink?
    The website page is: http://www.usronline.net/USR/VedicResearch.html.  If you click anywhere randomly in the main text, you'll get a prompt to download a PDF file.  This should not be, but I can't get this hyperlink to go away for good.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Please pardon the reply delay--a big project deadline had to be met.  Now back to this work:
    Yes, the text in the oval object had a drop shadow (the oval object itself did not).  I removed the drop shadow from the text, but the image file icon stayed in the right corner of the oval object.  I deleted the text and then the image file icon disappeared.  But as soon as I typed text again inside the oval object (not even pasting the previous text) the image file icon appeared again.  I deleted the oval object entirely and simply typed the text inside the main text box itself.  The image file icon that was attached to that oval object is gone (along with the oval object).
    Still the image file icon is attached to the main text box, though.  I again tried to uncheck the Enable as hyperlink (same process as described in first posting) with that oval object gone, but when I "save" again it reverts to a hyperlink. 
    Next I tried this: I copied the text from the problem text box and pasted it into another text box (outside of the problem one).  Still in the new text box with the pasted text, the image file icon shows in the upper right corner. 
    I also removed all the drop shadow features from this main text box (there was one more, on some words typed in the main text box), but it is still showing as an image.
    I don't know how it became an image file, and I'm still stumped as to how to fix it (short of forgetting about trying to figure out how it became an image and just retyping all text into a new text box).
    The link you provided for "Web Safe Fonts" is returning this: "The server at www.ampsoft.net is taking too long to respond."  I'm using Arial and Georgia (Georgia only on the menu and header text) in the site, and I had verified before designing the site that these are web safe, so I had thought they were.
    If you or anyone have any further suggestions or suspicions on this matter, I'd be glad to hear them.
    Thank you.

  • How can I make a backup of my iWeb page, How can I make a backup of my iWeb page

    How can I make a backup of my iWeb page? Is iWeb also disappearing on June 30?

    Here are some Apple help sheets about backing up your files:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1813
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1105
    And I found this one written by an independant guy very thorough and helpful:
    http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Backup_retrieve.html
    iWeb is not going away, but I would be skeptical about how much longer Apple keeps it around. 
    If you are looking for a new place to host your website, I use and would recommend Little Oak (www.littleoak.net).  They are a Mac hosting company, and are even offering a discount right now for iWeb users (http://www.thewhir.com/web-hosting-news/web-hosting-sales-and-promos-roundup-jun e-29-2012)

  • IWeb page printed from iWeb site comes out BLACK on some browsers

    I made and run a website for a local art group. iWeb works well for this purpose. I publish the site to our domain. The main site is for the public and a second site, password protected and reached through the main site, is for members.
    I've put the entry form for our biggest annual exhibition on the website, intending that members can print it from there (most have hard copies as well). Printing works perfectly from Safari. But many members have PCs (grrr) and use things like Firefox and IE.
    Firefox prints the iWeb pages totally BLACK. IE prints okay on some computers and not on others. A clue is that, if you look fast as you open an iWeb page in IE, you see all the layout components in light blue; it immediately disappears. But that is the part that prints out black.
    What on earth is causing this and HOW can it be prevented?? I have used NO background color on my pages.
    Thanx,

  • Publishing iWeb pages from 2 different Macs

    I have recently bought a MacBook to complement my G4 Powermac desktop - the desktop has iLife05 installed and the MacBook iLife06.
    I am really enjoying using the iWeb application and would like to be able to publish iWeb pages from both my MacBook and my desktop mac. Is there anyway I can get iLife06 transferred onto my desktop. I have already been firewiring files between the two - can I do the same with software or do I need to buy iLife all over again?

    Hi James,
    Your response definitely helped me since my boss and I are trying to maintain a website on both of our computers...
    BUT, i have a huge problem. Before I knew how to transfer or find the domain files, I used the "FIND" option to search for the domain site on my computer and when i clicked it open, my site didn't come up but rather a prompt asking me what type of website I'd like to create. For months, the website we created showed up every time I opened iweb but now when i simply clicked on domain.site or whatever it was that turned up in the "Find" folder, I can't bring up or locate the site I created on the computer so I have no way to update it or put it on a disc for my boss... Do you have any idea what caused my site to disappear simply by clicking on domain or any idea where i could find my site??
    please help!! thanks!
    Vanessa
    one more thing: is it possible for my boss to edit the content of the website without iweb? could she do it through the actual website with a password or something? just curious... also if i can't get that original domain site back, is there a way i can transfer my website to a different website other than iweb so that i can keep updating without having to redo the whole thing? even being able to transfer separate blogs from iweb to the original site would work too - anything to not have to redo the welcome page and picture pages that are already online

  • Iweb pages not easily viewed by windows Explorer users. FF&NN more better.

    My work colleagues, who are all on windows computers defaulted to use internet explorer, can't load my iweb pages.
    The music halts, the pages stutter and stagger and it takes forever to load. and then one can not scroll... The problem seems to disappear when i have people download firefox and netscape navigator and call up the site with those browsers. But some folks don't want to take the time to do that. Default Internet Explorer should work with iweb-built pages. Is there a fix?
    Also, on my mac.com page, the number of hits is no longer reflected. I recently upgraded to iweb (ilife) 08, (from earlier version that came with the Macpro when i bought it in july)Before the upgrade, I could always see the pages and how many hits all in one place! i have rebuilt the pages and added other pages in the new iweb 08, but still can't see the hits. do you have a fix, does anyone have a fix?

    There's been a lot of stuff written in this forum about Internet Explorer. A quick search will keep you reading for hours!
    A lot of the problems disappear if the user has the latest version of IE and QuickTime Player installed.
    Also they have to have Java Script enabled.
    One good idea I saw on a website was an announcement that "this website is best viewed in Firefox" with the Firefox download logo beside it. Get it here...
    http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates/homepage
    Try to educate the we surfers one at a time!
    I would post your hit counter issue as a separate topic since a lot of people will not bother reading about IE as so much has already been said.
    I am answering this because your topic was getting ignored and the hit counter issue may get a better response if you try again.

  • Some of my pages disappeared!?

    I created a website (4 pages) a few months back and published it to .mac. Yesterday I created a new site (4 more pages) using iWeb 08 on a different computer. When I published the new site to .mac the old pages disappeared from the "My Pages" section of .mac.
    I can still access the old website using the URL, but I can't see the pages on .mac. Any idea how I can merge both sites? (I do have the domain.sites2 file from both websites).
    thanks!
    Tony

    Kiapet,
    How do I open both domain files within iWeb? IIRC, it wants me to pick one or the other domain file when opening iWeb.
    Thanks for helping!

  • IWeb page does not fully load

    I have tried several times to upload a new iWeb page to my iDisk. I get the two pop-up windows; one telling me that the page is loading and the other that it is "complete". When I first visited the "completed" web page, the photos did not appear and the theme background was missing (all white). The last time I tried to upload the page, the photos appear on the web page, but the slideshow stops in the middle.
    I have noticed that the "pie" completion icon next to my iWeb page does not disappear and never fills to gray (there is always some white in the pie).
    Any ideas why this is happening? Or what I can do to correct this problem?

    Anyone surfed/tested their iweb creations on a PC
    with explorer?
    My iweb test page with movies does not fully load or
    scroll on the wife's PC with explorer. Works great in
    Safari on all my macs.
    Hi sharkguy - Good point!
    Stats to Remember when designing websites:
    1. less than 4% of internet surfers use some version of Mac OS
    2. less than 7% of all internet surfers use Firefox as a browser of choice
    3. less than 3% of all internet surfers use Safari as a browser of choice
    4. at least 85% of all internet surfers use some version of Internet Explorer
    5. Netscape, Opera, and Mozilla make up the rest of browsers used

  • In normal view, half the page disappears off right of screen. in full screen this does not happen. what can be done to correct the screen ratio for normal screen?

    version 5 loaded on windows 7. all went well for a while. one day while using, ratio of normal screen doubled in width; i.e. half the page disappears off the screen to the right (on a wide screen). when full screen mode applied, ratio is fine. it only happens in normal view, which is the usually prefered option. I cannot determine any means within the program to resize the normal screen. nothing else is affected, only mozilla firefox in normal view. not that when program is opened from keyboard the page is correct for a moment, then enlarges the width with 1/2 page dissappearing.

    This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar 1.1.8 extension

  • Display data from CSV file in iWeb page

    Hi,
    I like to display data from a CSV file in iWeb page if a date value from CSV file matches todays value from the system. Here is an example.
    CSV data values
    01/20/2011,Sunny,87
    01/21/2011,Cloudy,100
    01/22/2011,Rainy,60
    If today's date value is 01/21/2011 the page should display 01/21/2011 Cloudy 100 in a tabular format.
    Appreciate your help in providing HTML code for this issue.
    Thanks

    I suspect there is a soft return in the excel database somewhere that can't be seen. Take the csv/txt file into notepad and look for a line that starts oddly compared to the others.
    I haven't had luck removing soft returns from excel files so I do this a rather odd way. I take the excel file into InDesign as a table, and then use find/change to replace any soft returns with nothing, then convert the text to table and then export the text out again by going export, and selecting text from the dropdown menu.
    For my money, I always save tab delimited text files from excel so that if a field does contain commas, it doesn't "trick" indesign into thinking a new field is beginning or not... instead the field delimiters are tabs and they are unlikely to have been used in the excel database.
    If you do choose to use this indesign import method of mine to clean up the database, i also noticed two things in your screengrab: first was that some fields have spaces at the start of the text... easy enough to fix with a GREP that looks for ^\s (start of a sentence followed by a space) and replace with nothing. The second thing is the T&C field that all entries (at least in the screengrab) all start the same – if all entries in the database start the same, couldn't that line be in the indesign file? Its only a small detail I know.

  • Creating a frame within a iweb page

    I would like to create a frame within one of my iweb pages so that I can maintain the navigation menu while incorporating expose photo slide (or any other external page to be displayed within my page).
    Please correct me if I am wrong but I don't think this is possible using iweb and must edit the source code.
    Does anyone know if there are any templates out there I could just copy and past to get this done? i am simply looking to create a frame pretty much taking up the entire center of the existing page while leaving the navigation menu in tacked. Do appreciate the help!
