IWeb site back up - except my photos

I've been waiting to re-publish since the Mobile Me launch, and my site has been a mess. Today I tried to publish, and everything seems to be sorted out with the major exception of the photo content of my photo pages. Images on pages are intact, as are text, video and everything else I looked at. Just photos on photo pages seem to be missing.
Does anyone else have this issue? Is there something I need to to to re-format my images? Are they still working and therefore should I expect to have issues for a while longer?
Any info would be helpful.
(BTW, I hope this isn't covered somewhere else, the "Search" field is missing from my Apple Discussions pages so my only option was to post a new topic)
Thanks,
Bryan

Reformatted hardrive can i get my iweb site back?

i recently reformatted my computer and i went back into iweb to find that my site is no longer there. i know that formatting erases everything but i did use timemachine to make a backup of my entire drive before i did so. where can i find the files to open my site back in iweb or is there a way to pull it somehow off of my idisk where the content for my site is stored

i went to the application support folder on my mac HD and it didnt have a iWeb folder so i dragged the one from the time machine backup and opened up iWeb and it still didnt open my site.

IWeb sites Back Up

Perhaps someone can help me with this...
I'm planning to wipe my PowerBook G4 (and re-install everything) and am backing up files on my external HD. Looking for my iWeb files all I get is a file called "Domain" is this the only one I have to drag-and-drop save? How else can I back up these files.
Or, when I just open iWeb back up later once it's been re-installed, will iWeb automatically detach my files (perhaps saved on .Mac already?)?????
Thanks for the help!

Yes!
The only file you need to back up to preserve all of your iWeb work is that single Domain file. It is located on your hard drive in the /Users/username/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ folder pathway. Just drag this file over to your external HD to back it up. Then once you get your computer loaded back up, just drag this Domain file back into the same folder pathway. When you launch iWeb, your site will be right where you left it.
Congratulations for asking and figuring this all out BEFORE erasing everything! Always pays to backup!

How do I connect iWeb Site back to iWeb?

When my internal hard drive crashed I replaced it with a new one and upgraded to Leopard. Unfortunately I can't change my website because iWeb 08 doesn't know were it is located. I have found the files in my iDisk. If I delete all the files in the folder located at iDisk/Web/Sites/Site will I then be able to create a new website from iWeb. Or, how can I connect those files to iWeb?
Thanks in advance.

Bob:
Unless you have a backup copy of the domain.sites2 file you'll have to rebuild your website from scratch. iWeb cannot read the published site files, only create them. However, Chapter 2.3 of this iWeb FAQ site has tips on using some of the published files in the reconstruction of the site.

Retrieving iWeb site from online...

My macbook's HD recently needed to be replaced and all of the data was wiped off...
Is there anyway to reload my iWeb site back into the application from online/iDisk? Can the domain file in Application support be rebuilt from the published site/iDisk files? The latest version of the site is online, and this should be an option.
PS I've had a lot of lectures about the virtues of backing up...the Application Support folder wasn't automatically backed up like it should have been. So it didn't help.

Is there anyway to reload my iWeb site back into the

No.
Can the domain file in

No.
To tell Apple how you think things should work, you can use the feedback item in the iWeb menu.

Can BC host an iWeb site

A friend of mine is currently using iWeb for her site and I was wondering if I could take her files and upload them to BC and host it for her there?
Thanks so much!
Annette

Ok, this was a pretty basic site. I don't even think she had a contact form; just a home page, about us, and a couple other pages that had a couple pictures and text. So maybe that would translate over correctly? I was doing some research and it looks like in iWeb, when you hit publish it gives you the option of sending it to another host so do you think I might be able to send it to BC?
Sorry, I'm very new to all this! I use Muse for my sites but I'm trying to help a friend get her iWeb site back up and running (she took it down a few months ago) without it being too difficult for her.
Thanks so much for any help you can give.

How To Resore iweb Site?

The hard drive in my ibook crashed and needed to be replaced. I used backup on .mac and did a full back up and I have the folder with my iweb site backed up. My problem is, how do I get it back into iweb? My site works fine when I go to it on the web, but I can't get it to come up in iweb so that I can edit it. Does anyone know how I can restore it back into iweb?
Thanks, Ken

Your iWeb data is stored, not in your actual html files, but in a file called Domain.sites which is stored in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. You should backup this file whenever you make big changes to your site, because if it gets lost or damaged, you will have to start all over.
Did you backup your Home folder from before? You might luck out and still have your domain.sites file.

Rebuilding Photo Pages from Lost iWeb Site

I mistakenly deleted my backed up iWeb domain file after doing a fresh install of OSX. I know there is no way to import the published HTML files into iWeb, so I am in the process of making a copy of my website manually. I am looking for a way to rebuild my photo pages that doesn't require me to look at the published site, identify which photo is on the site, find it in iPhoto, and drag it to my new iWeb site. Instead, what I'd like to do is grab the photo files from iDisk for each photo page, and then drop them into my new iWeb site. However, I can't seem to find on my iDisk where the actual photo files are stored. I suspect I am looking in the wrong place. The files in the iDisk/Web/Sites/Site Name/My Albums/Pages/Album Name/Media/Photo Name are too small and low quality. When I click the download link from the published site, it's the full size file. Where is this stored?

IWeb-How can viewers export/capture photos from my iweb sites?

I am working with iweb 08 and created a website for fellow classmates to view old grade and High school pictures with names and want them to be able to export or capture copies of any photograph from my iWeb site for their own use. I want them to have a good quality photo that can be in a size from 5 x 7 to 8 x 10 inches like the originals.
How can they get copies of photos off my iWeb site??

Hello Newbe here
Have been playing with iWeb and I believe that it can do what I want it to - however, I have been struggling yo get it to play ball.
I have a load of large images in my idisk-Public folder, however this is a bit cumbersome to navigate and does not offer the user a preview of the image. What I was hoping to do was to create a small website in iWeb and then place some thumbnails on the pages (with some text etc) and then links to the actual files on the iDisk/Public folder. For information there is about 2GB of files (many of which are 300dpi large PSD files at between 25-50MB each). As such, it would be impossible to embed them in the website and, I don't really want to have to upload all 2BG back to iDisk again in order to get links in the iWeb directory to work.
I was hoping that I could use the hyperlink to a file - but this does not seem to work and it just seems to embed the file into the website. If I go to iDisk/Public and try and point the hyperlink at a specific file - then it seems that everything in the public folder has the same web address (I have a number of sub-folders in the Public directory).
So just for total clarity - what I am trying to do is generate a website in iWeb, place a small JPG or PNG file (thumbnail) and then provide a number of links to a source file either as part of the thumbnail image or with some text next to the image (where the file is available in a number of formats - e.g. PSD, EPS, TIF, etc).
I hope that this makes sense and that someone out there knows how to solve this issue and is kind enough to point me in the right direction - before I pull all of my hair out.
Thanks in anticipation.......

How do I block the download option on photos in my iWeb site?

I am an artist and have posted lots of photos of my art in my iWeb site. I am dismayed to see a download link show up when I click on the photos in my live site! How do I block the download option on my photos?

How can I get my site back (done with Iweb) on my new hard drive? I had to change my hard drive after droping my computer.

Can someone help me. I had to change my hard drive few weeks ago and lost everything. I made a site via iweb and my site is still on line but I don't know how can I get my site back on my iweb with my new hard drive.

Patrick ~ Welcome to the Support Commuities. Here's where iWeb's key Domain file (containing your site data) is usually located:
...But rather than backing up just that file, consider using Time Machine and/or SuperDuper.

Hello, i have youtube videos on my iweb site. but i would like to know if it is possible to get a 'pop-up' affect when you click on a small photo of the video, to open and play the video in a popup?

Photos on iWeb site

Is it possible to save your iDisk space by putting photos on your .Mac iWeb site from another website you are with. Maybe thats not very clear.... I have a 'pro' flickr account that I bought before I got my .Mac account as a gift. Is it possible to build my .Mac website from the photo's I have already on my Flickr account to save loading them to my iDisk and therefore saving space?
It's just I plan to put a lot of photos on my site and don't want it to eat up all my space. I realise, I could just continue with my photos on Flickr, but I really like the format of the .Mac sites better and plan on selling some of my prints through the site.
Any help would be great,
David

I may have read too much into your plans.
I'm not, by any means, an expert with Flickr so bear with me.
IF the files in Flickr are accessible with "http" commands, it's real easy to add a hyperlink in your iWeb site to bring the viewer to Flickr. The minor difficulty is that you want only SOME viewers to reach Flickr. IF Flickr access can be PW-protected, it's a slam-dunk.
If not, it might be a little klutzy. You'll need to create a second iWeb site that's PW-protected. The hyperlink in your main iWeb site brings the viewer to the PW-protected iWeb site and, for those that can access it, another hyperlink will take them to Flickr.

IWeb sites with photo slideshows after migration from MobileMe

I raised this question in another discussion earlier today in response to another post in the MobileMe forum (no answer yet), but the recent confirmation about the death of MobileMe webhosting brings new urgency to this question for me, so I figured I'd post it in the iWeb forum.
I knew that if I migrated my iWeb sites to another host, I'd lose the counter, etc. I wasn't concerned about that, and don't have a blog or comments area that would be impacted. But, on my two sites (iWeb -->MobileMe), there are many pictures--and slideshows are an important part of those sites. Will the slideshow feature of iWeb be able to be used after I migrate to another host such as hostexcellence or godaddy??? If that's true, then I really do have a problem. (I'm not talking about galleries from iPhoto to mobileme, but photo pages in iWeb sites.)
I've spent a ton of time over the last couple of years on those sites, and would hate to redo them. While there may be alternatives to the iWeb slideshow, it will take me quite a while to figure it out. (I never had a desire to learn how to do that--if I did, I wouldn't have needed iWeb.)
If anybody who uses the iWeb slideshow on a photo page and has their sites hosted somewhere other than MobileMe could let me know--I'd appreciate it. (Let me know which host you use please!) Thanks.
I guess related to this, if it's absolutely not going to work anymore, suggestions would be appreciated. Do I have to redo my sites for this? Is there an "iWeb like" program that has an easy to use slideshow for a photopage that would work? If so, I guess I have a year to redo my sites. )

Past experience has taught me not to rely on media player assets on third party servers. Yahoo pulling the plug on the EasyListener player is a case in point.
As OT has pointed out, the slideshow works on other servers but, according to Cyclosaurus, some necessary assets are on the Apple server.
Wouldn't it be reasonable to expect that Apple will make these assets available after the demise of MobileMe if enough people requested this?
The iWeb method of getting media onto websites leaves a lot to be desired and there are a lot of other ways to display music, movies and photos. The photo page is one of iWebs few triumphs but there are many alternative slideshows and banners.
Most of these methods require that assets are uploaded to, ideally, your own server but its not so difficult once you grasp the concept and the basics of FTP.
iWeb does provide two other methods of publishing apart from MobileMe. The built in FTP is just as quick, easy and convenient as publishing to MobileMe once you set it up.
Publishing to a local folder and uploading via an FTP app. allows you to add SEO tags and optimize the files for faster download.
A good FTP application makes the task of uploading media player assets very easy - drag and drop.
