IWeb site opens blank site after moving to new computer

Hi,
I copied my iWeb domain file to a new computer and now when I open it, it opens to a blank site as if I've never created anything before.
To make maters worse, in the process of following advice from others and deleting preference files etc, I've messed things up to the point that my iWeb site no longer works on the original computer . However, I have used Time Machine to retrieve a copy of the domain file from three months ago (when I can be sure it was working). Problem is, I can't get it to work on either computer.
I would appreciate any advice and direction as I've got over six years of work into this particular site.

What you need is the Domain.sites2 file from your old computer. It will be located in the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Copy it to the same folder on your new Mac replacing the domain file that is currently there.
If you don't have a copy of that file you'll have to rebuild your site from scratch. However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing image, audio and/or video files in the published site in the reconstruction of the site.

Unable to open My Catalog after transfer to new computer

I use Elements 7 on computer running Windows XP. Has approximately 5000 photo's in My Catalog - all tagged and with captions.
Am in process of moving to new computer with Windows 7 - 64bit version. Have used original disc to load Elements 7 on new machine and Elements Organiser opens OK but with just a blank My catalog - and all tags are missing.
I used Windows Easy Transfer to move all files and settings to the new machine.
The catalog appears to have been transferred and Elements Help > System Information shows that it is located at undernoted - which it is, according to Windows Explorer.
C:\ProgrammeData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\My Catalog
But I have been unable to find any way of getting Elements to connect to this file and open it as 'My Catalog' on the new machine. Would be catastrophic to find that I have to re tag and caption all these photo's. Probably impossible.
Have tried all the options under the File Dropdown menu relating to Catalog.
Have had differing opinions on whether Elements 7 can be used with Windows 7 64 bit - some say is OK, others say not. Though it does open as it did under XP - just does not detect the Catalog.
Any ideas please?

Thanks. Might be making some progress. As I said before I had followed the path suggested by Help > System Information. Had also done amendment to Show Hidden Files, which the database seems to be.
But have now taken your advice and unticked the box relating to "Hide file extensions for known file types".
Using Windows Explorer on the old computer I now find that My Catalog folder includes a file named "catalog.pse7db"
File size is approx 19,500Kb - so this would appear to be the relevant file.
Have also now followed the Help>System information path on the new computer and the My Catalog folder also contains a file "catalog.pse7db". But file size is only 119Kb - so clearly not the version from the old machine.
Not sure if this might be relevant but have just noticed a slight difference in the locations indicated by Photoshop
On old machine this is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\My Catalog
On new machine this is C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\My catalog
Also just noticed that the bottom part of the dialogue box on new computer indicates "Operating System name = Vista Version 6.1"
Puzzling - as new machine definitely has Windows 7 installed and have never had Vista on either computer.

Events and project thumbnails missing after moving to new computer

I just helped a friend to move to a new Mac. I have copied all her personal data to her new computer, so iMovie Events and Projects are present in her new Movie folder. However, after opening iMovie '08, all events and project thumbnails are missing. How could this be? Is there perhaps some library file that keeps track of all this that I need to copy as well? Is there a way to re-link iMovie with the events folder?

Try this:
First, make sure you've quit out of iMovie. Then go to your Movies Folder > iMovie Events > and then into the folder of the even that's giving you trouble. Drag the folder "iMovie Thumbnails" to your trash. Then open the folder "iMovie Cache" and drag the file "Cache.plist" to the trash. Restart iMovie. It should rebuild the thumbnails, and by regenerating the .plist file, it should have the data it needs to reed the new thumbnails into iMovie.
It worked for me. Hopefully it will work for you too.

Some purchased songs not playing after moving to new computer

I migrated my music library to a new computer by moving the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to an external hard drive then to the new computer. When I synced my iPhone using the new computer, everything synced fine the first time except for an error saying three songs could not be converted properly. When I try to play the songs in iTunes, it tells me they are not authorized to play on the new computer then asks me to login to authorize (even though I already had logged in beforehand). Even after logging in again they won't play. The tracks won't play on the iPhone either.
The three tracks are part of a full album which I purchased via the music store on my iPhone. They synced to my old computer with no problem. They show up in my purchases section in iTunes. And the other 8 tracks from the same album work just fine. And I just double checked, and the tracks no longer play on the old machine either. The only weird thing was that when I synced it appeared as though iTunes downloaded the songs again even though they were already in the existing library. Any idea what's going on here and how to fix it?

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library (but do not hide from iCloud), close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not in My Library. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading click the small download activity widget near the search box and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked. This may improve the reliability of subsequent downloads.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Missing playlists after moving to new computer

Greetings.
I am soliciting some help.
I have acquired a new computer (Vista, Lenovo desktop) and want to use iTunes on it. So, I downloaded and installed iTunes on it.
I keep all my iTunes things on an external drive (G drive) and so I connected it to the new computer and dragged/dropped the entire iTunes folder over. Then I set it to be the "iTunes Music folder location."
I seem to have lost the playlists (and I have lots of them - 120 GB of music/audio).
Is there a simple way to recover them. I really don't want to start over on playlists...
Bill
[email protected]

Bill, I am hoping you can help me out. I too have a new computer with the windows vista platform. i have my itunes music folder, itunes itl and xml on my external hard drive. i went ahead and started itunes on the new computer while holding down shift button to choose the library. when i did though it said it was locked, on a locked disc ,or dont have write permission to open this file. do you know a way of how to correct this, or how to get my music on the new computer with all playlists intact? (i noticed on some posts there was reference to ensuring external drive on old and new computer was same letter, that is also not the case with mine. was G on the old one, now this one has it as an F. any help you can provide i'd greatly appreciate

QT won't open AVI's after moving to new MacBook

Hi guys,
I just upgraded to a MacBook, moving my files from a G3 iBook --including a bunch of short AVI's I'd made using a Canon digital camera. On the G3, QT opened these no problem. But on the MacBook, QT crashes whenever I try. What's up with this?! --MacCreavey

My guess would be the MacBook is using QT in Universal format and the G3 iBook used PowerPC format.
That would be my guess. But the question remains, do you have required components installed on the PB and if so, are they Universal?
Wonder if I should go back and get the PowerPC version from the G3?
If you do and they aren't Universal, then remember you may have to start the QT Player in Rosetta to get then to play.

Program won't load after moving to new computer

Hi,
So, I was having an incredibly difficult time on my mid 2010 iMac trying to use Premiere Pro CC after I had installed new memory. The program stopped responding and/or anytime I tried to render or encode, the entire computer would restart. It had been going on for way too long. So now I am working on a brand new iMac, fresh from the factory. I installed Creative Cloud and downloaded Premiere Pro CC, After Effects CC and Media Encoder CC. (i signed off CC on the other computer) I plugged in my external drive and opened the program. I had to relink a bunch of the media because I hadn't been incredibly organized about filing it to begin with, but everything seemed to sync up. Finally opened the project.
First - when trying to render a sequence, less than 1/4 the way in, an error comes up - "Unknown error in compiling movie."
Second - all the After Effects linked compositions are just color bars. Big fat ones. When I click "Edit Original" and it comes up in After Effects, there were regular color bars. There was sound. It did display what effects I had done to it in the effects window. All effects that I have done have been to sharpen or to remove grain. Nothing razzle-dazzly.
In trying to figure out how to deal with this, I tried to link up the file in After Effects with its original video file. Couldn't figure that out. Finally, got so frustrated I decided to export it to xml and download FCP X trial to see if I could work with it in that. I exported the entire project using Export-> Final Cut Pro XML but was unable to open the file in FCP. Both by opening the program and trying to open the file from inside there, and by clicking on the file and trying "Open With." FCP was grayed out as an option. I clicked the box to allow me access to all the applications and it still wouldn't allow me to do it. So I decided that maybe something went wrong with the export.
I have now gone back into Premiere to try to export again but now NONE of the video files will load and "The Application is not Responding."
I am perplexed! Can anyone help me?!

Attempted to uninstall Quicktime. The uninstall will not finish, saying it encountered a fatal error. Quicktime will not run, either.
when a QuickTime uninstall throws that message at folks, it's usually best to try completely scraping the itunes and QuickTime program files and installation configuration information from the PC, and doing a careful staged reinstall afterwards.
try the technique in the following post. (it includes instructions on what to do if Add/Remove isn't letting you uninstall one of the programs.)

Acrobat X Pro won't open at all after installing on new computer. Please help! It is from the CS6 Suite

Hi, Can anyone help me? I had to change my computer, so I re-installed my whole CS6 Suite. Everything works except my Acrobat X Pro... It won't even open!! I am using a Windows 7 PC ... I even had Dell try and help me... the only thing they where able to do was help me be able to see .pdf docs in Reader! But I can't open a document, or create one, block sensitive info, nothing!

Hi Lisley56, I found the solution there is a Plug in for Acrobat X Pro that came with Adobe Suite CS6... I downloaded it and that did it!!! It's called "Acrofix". Try looking it up in the Adobe website!!! I hope it works!!

Can't open Numbers file after moving it back to Mac from Dropbox

Please help! Can't open Numbers file after moving it back to iMac from Dropbox. Says I need the newer version of Numbers each time I tried to open the file. I am 100% sure that I had the newest version. Spoke to the AppleCare guy and after doing the checks he is also sure that I had the latest version of Numbers and AppleCare can't help. He suggested that maybe i should run it on a file repair program...any suggestion?... please help...

I've read reports of people having trouble when storing Numbers 3 documents on Dropbox. I think it's related to the fact that they're not really "files." They're "packages" that look like files. I had thought that Dropbox had cleared this up with their latest update. You should be on Dropbox version 2.4 or later.
If you have Time Machine you may have some luck going back in time and restoring the document from a previous version.
Storing Numbers documents on iCloud works much better, at least for me, and (unlike Dropbox) iCloud facilitates automatic syncing to other Macs and iOS devices signed into the same Apple ID.
Perhaps you could consider keeping Numbers documents in iCloud instead. iCloud is deeply integrated into the app, and now works well.

Your library will only be where you put it. it resides on your computer.
Use your backup copy of you computer to put everything back.

How do I open my itunes account on a new computer without having to buy all new songs? It doesn't seem fair to have to buy all the same songs a second time if they are already purchased by me and I just want them on my new computer!

HT1329 I lost my iTunes in my old computer. How do I transfer my music files in my ipod (old generation) to the new iTunes (which is currently blank) set up in my new computer?

I lost my iTunes in my old computer. How do I transfer my music files in my ipod (old generation) into the new iTunes (which is currenelty blank) set up in my new computer. Thanks for your help.

You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your computer's hard drive, you can add them to your iTunes library.
NOTE: You can also re-download previous song purchases from the iTunes Store at no cost, from the iTunes Store Purchased screen.
