Iweb stuck-won't open

I stupidly tried to open a file into iweb (it was a zip file).
Now I can't get my iweb to open at all. It just comes up saying it cannot open such and such file, but then closes.
Suggestions????

Try the following: delete the IWeb preference file, com.apple. IWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch IWeb and see if that helps.

My iweb program won't open.

My iweb program won't open. I tried to open a previous html page created by it, now when I start the program it reverts to the last attempted function, informs me it can't open the html file and then shuts down when I click on "OK". Any suggestions?

iWeb cannot open previously published html files. It works with the domain.sites2 file that is located by default in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.
If you don't have a domain file that contains the site/page that you want to edit you'll have to rebuild it from scratch. However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site.

Iweb 09 won't open. Please help.

Hi
I'm still new to mac and I've been using iweb 09 for about 1 week and all has been well until today.
It just won't open. I've tried restarting my mac then and tried opening iweb but it still won't open.
Could anyone offer any advice please
Many thanks in advance.
Michael.

Duh. Typo: Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
3 - reboot.
4 - launch iWeb and see if iWeb will open.
If that doesn't help continue:
5 - move the domain file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
6 - launch iWeb, create a new test site and save.
7 - go to the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
8 - move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
9 - launch iWeb and try again.

Laptop lid stuck, won't open

Hi there,
My 17 inch (dv7-6151sd) won't open anymore after I closed it.
The lid is stuck on one side and when opening it's putting a lot of tension on the screen.
The picture shows what happens at the side which is stuck when opening the laptop.
Does anybody know how I can try to solve this VERY annoying problem.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Mathijs

Iweb site won't open

my iweb program will not display site or new site. all in grey.
how can i fix this?
i have no receord of the site i bulit anywhere else

What system are you running? Have you upgraded your system to Lion or Mt. Lion just before this began? If so then take not of the following;
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.

IWeb 09 won't open iWeb 08 files

I have iWeb 08 files I made using OS 10.5.8 that I can't open now that I've upgraded to iWeb 09 and OS 10.6.8. What's the deal?

What happens when you try?
In the meantime try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

I've stuck with Entourage way too long. Now I don't dare install the Mavericks OS because all my Entourage files will go away. And my iMac won't open Mac Mail (probably because I've never opened it in the 5 - 6 years I've owned the Mac.) Any suggestions?

If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
If there are specific tasks you need help with:

Iweb 2.0.3 won't open using OSX 10.4.11

Hi there, have had a look at a few forum postings but most appear to be from last year so thought i'd start a fresh one.
I recently updated my version of iWeb to 2.0.3. I'm using OSX10.4.11 on both a MBP and a G4. My problem is the program won't open.
I had tried deleting a plist file in the preferences folder as suggested in previous forums, but this hasn't made any difference except now I can't see the site I was working on. I have on my screen at the top the iweb options, file, edit etc but am unable to select any of these.
When I press the mouse cursor to select it turns into a spinning ball of death, round and round it goes....I haven't moved the site folder or anything like that, all I have done is update the software as suggested and now have this problem. Any useful advice would be appreciated as I rang support but my care plan ended 2 weeks ago, so it will cost $50...
Cheers,

First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and see if iWeb will launch. If it does ignore the following.
If deleting the preference file doesn't help, copy the Domain.sites2 file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb file to the Shared file on the Mac. Log into another account (create one if you don't have a second account), move the Domain.sites 2 file from the Shared account to the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder for that account and launch iWeb.
Download and run BatChmod on the Domain.sites package with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name in the owner section and Staff in the group section. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. This is to insure the ownership and permissions are changed to the new account.
If iWeb opens and runs as it should you can publish from that account. You'll have to go into the System preferences to the .Mac section and put in the correct information for the account, i.e name, password, etc.
If iWeb works in the other account there could be a preference file other than iWeb's in your primary account that's causing the problem. To determine if that's the case try the following:
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - Make a duplicate copy of the Preferences A folder on the Desktop as a precautionary backup.
4 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
5 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here.
6 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.

IWeb won't open-cannot find "index.xml" file

I've been having kernel panics lately and ran off my hard drive to another Mac (iMac) -not using migration assistant-and upon returning back to my main computer (MacBook Pro) and after diligently saving my Domain file, iWeb won't open because it cannot find the "index.xml". I have the site up on my idisk and when I open up the package in Domain, there's plenty in there. How do I get back to where I was-an iWeb site that I can manipulate.
Any way I can get what I do still have to work? Or do I have to make my site from scratch again even though I have loads of files all over the place and only this one missing?
I think Apple needs to tell us "how" and "what" to save when we need to vacate a computer because of kernel panics and the like-wouldn't you say? I ALWAYS suffer from something missing when I have to put the OS back on the computer from scratch-not to mention hours of wasted time downloading updates again and having to find keycodes and various application discs!

Welcome to the discussions, RPashman.
I got this message before when I was editing multiple Domain.sites. I believe it happened when I tried to Publish when the Domain was not in the iWeb folder. During the Publish, it places a Domain file in the iWeb folder (maybe because it has to publish from there even though the actual file is elsewhere??) and if anything goes wrong, iWeb when it next opens will default to that improperly created Domain.sites file.
Check in the iWeb directory (Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites
) and see how large the Domain.sites file is. If it's something under a meg, then maybe this is what happened to you. Move it out of that directory (I held mine just in case) then relaunch iWeb. Since there's not a Domain.sites file there anymore, it should ask if you want to create one or open an existing one.
Not sure if this happened to you, but it's possible. It happened to this user as well.

Iweb won't open properly

I'm using iWeb '09 on a MacBookPro. It's all been fine, but it suddenly won't open properly. The options in the drop down menus are greyed out and it doesn't open to an iWeb page. The iWeb name appears in the menu bar, but nothing works. I've tried force-quitting it a few times, and I've shut down and started up again a few times, but no good. When I click on the iWeb icon in the dock it doesn't 'bounce' properly.
Anyone got any thoughts? Thanks very much. x

Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
3 - reboot.
4 - launch iWeb and see if it will open.
If that doesn't help continue:
5 - move the domain file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
6 - launch iWeb, create a new test site and save.
7 - go to the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
8 - move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
9 - launch iWeb and try again.
