IWeb Transfer File(s)

Hi, I recently replaced my G4 Powerbook with a new Macbook and I need to transfer my G4 iWeb files to my new Macbook to continue managing my site, does anyone have a workflow they can share?

The folder of files is stored in ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
The package file name is Domain.sites and you could burn it to CD (if under 700MB's) or DVD.

IWeb Transfer

Hello All,
I recently started a new job and one of my responsibilities is picking up where there previous employee left off on an informational website using iWeb. I was given a new macbook for work but as everyone knows a new macbook does not have iWeb. So I have several questions related to how I am going to edit this website...
1) My first idea is to use a co-worker's older mac w/ iWeb to begin editing. Are the files associated with a webpage created on iWeb saved on a remote server or on the original editor's computer? That is, can I log onto iWeb from anywhere and edit this website or do I have to use the original macbook the website was created with?
2) If the answer to 1 is yes, you can access and edit a webpage from any instance of iWeb on any mac, is there any immediate need for me to transfer to a new webpage developing program or should I be able to continue editing in the foreseeable future?
3) If the answer to 1 is no, you have to edit the webpage from the original mac, is there a directory of files that could be copied and transfered to another mac for editing from there?
Thanks

If you have access to the co-worker's Mac copy the iWeb application to the Applications folder on your Mac.
Next look in the co-worker's Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on his Mac for a file titled Domain.sites (iWeb 2) or Domain.sites2 (iWeb 3) and copy it to the same folder on your Mac. If there is no iWeb folder on your Mac create one and put the domain file in it.
If you Mac has Lion or Mt. Lion installed read and follow the following:
In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/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 in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that 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 transfer by FTP

As advised last year, I have carefully carried out the transfer of my web-site by FTP and now find that not only has it cost me nearly £200 to register with a new host (iPage) , I am now told that I cannot update or add to the site like I did with iWeb, unless I open and create a new site with them (at even more cost!).
Although you have suggested that I can continue with web.me.com until June, after changing to the new host I can no longer access my old site!
What should I have done?

Also if you're considering getting a new host for your website look at HostExcellence. It has very good rates ($3.95/mo with a 2 year commitment) and is easy to publish to and has excellent ear-to-ear customer support. This link has links to additional pages describing how easy it was to use HE: Life After MobileMe. There are many hosting services with similarly low prices. So don't get stuck by what seems to be an unscrupulous outfit.

IWeb transfer not working!

Help! I am trying to transfer iWeb from my old mac (10.4 to 10.7). I did it exactly like the tutorials say - copied it into my library/application support/iweb folder. but when I open iWeb, it opens a new site. My old one is nowhere to be found. Please help! Thanks!

How can I transfer files from one user to another user?

I have a Macbook Air with 10.9.5.
I have two admin users. I want to transfer all the files from User A to User B's profile so that I can get rid of User A and just use User B from now on. So far I can access the files if I change sharing permissions but the files are not under the root User B's folder still.   Any ideas on how to do this? I also have greyed out folders when I created User B in the root directory.
Root folder /UserA/ includes all the usual folder links like desktop, documents, etc, including some created one for example "myoldphotos".   When i created UserB/ it has all the desktop, documents, etc folders (but with nothing in them since it's new) but also the myoldphotos folder, except it's greyed out and I can't do anything with it at all or open it or anything. it's just there?

Thank you, that worked to transfer files. After I move it into my normal home folder, can I delete it from the Shared folder?
Also if anyone has any ideas on the greyed out folders I would be thankful. For example I moved the 'myoldphotos' folder from users/UserA to users/Shared then from there to users/UserB and it worked. HOWEVER, the greyed out mysterious folder is still there and i can't do anything about it. It also affected my new copied folder, changing the name from myoldphotos to "myoldphotos 2" like as if there IS a folder there with the same name already.   I can't click on the greyed out folder to open it or anything.

My iPad 3 is not charging on my macbook pro mid-2012. It was working yesterday and it is not working now, and I'm trying to transfer files between them. How do I charge my iPad with my macbook without having to be a completely new computer?

I am trying to transfer files between my ipad 3 and my macbook pro mid-2012 and they will just not connect. I connected them yesterday and it worked fine. And i can not air drop these files into my ipad it has to be done through itunes. And i can not afford to buy a new computer. How do i get these two to connect without having to buy a completely new computer?

Computer USB ports, regardless of the computer maker, have a relatively low power output and thus are not good chargers. They will charge but it takes a long time. You should be charging your iPad from wall power, or a more powerful source like an in-car charger.
Buying another computer will not change that.

Getting a new Mac: need to transfer files/applications, have external hard drive, and wipe clean old Mac to give to family member

Getting a new Mac this Christmas. I have several questions:
1. How do I transfer files/applications from old to new?
2. I have an external hard drive, do I need to save iTunes account to it?
3. How do I wipe the old Mac clean to give to family member?

1. Use the Migration Assistant the first time you turn on the new computer.
2. No, but you should do so as a backup.
3. Click here and follow the instructions. If the computer originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, when you reach step 5, insert its original disk, restart with the C or Option key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.

Transfer files from SAP R/3(unix server) to windows

Hi TechGurus,
We have a requirement where in , we are extracting data from SAP table into a text file using OPEN DATASET in TEXT MODE.
Then using a third party tool (Connect-direct), we are transferring text files to windows server using unix script, in binary mode.
The problem is that that the data is being transferred in blocks,each time beginning transfer from a new line.That is, after say transferring 25KB data it transfers next 25KB data from a new line. What happens as a result is that records
after particular amount of data is broken and remaining data transfer begins from new line.
The file size is around 25 MB.There is no such problem while transferring file of size 10 KB.
We are uploading the data from text file on windows server into MSAccess.
And error occurs during this process.
Assured points for helpful answers
Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
If you want to transfer file between different SAP servers then you can use the function module EPS_FTP_PUT. You need to have a RFC destination (with sufficient authorizations for the RFC user). The meaning of the importing parameters of the function module are quite obvious. Of course, SAP offers us more than this function module:
- EPS_FTP_GET
- EPS_FTP_MPUT
- EPS_FTP_MGET

I cannot transfer files from XP to Windows Vista notebook

Hi,
I recently bought laptop with windows vista on it. My other computer has windows xp. I would like to transfer files from wndows xp to vista, when I do I am unable to open this. I also receive e mails that have excel (xls) files attached and I am unable to open them, Can anyone advise? Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Message was edited by: angieos

How do you exactly mean: transferring files? Would you like to copy them to the machine with Vista?
And regarding the Excel (*.xls) files, you need Microsoft Excel which is in the Microsoft Office Package. That means if you have no Microsoft Office for Vista then you will need to purchase one to open and edit Excel files.

Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

How to transfer file from application server to presentation server in background?

Hi Experts,
How to transfer file from application server to presentation server in background?
Thanks in advance
Namita

Thanks Raman and Challa,
We want to move file from application server to Shared folder, not on local machine. We checked FM which you guys have provided but those are not able to read file from application server.
We need this program to run in background so that we can use this in daily process chain.
Appreciate your inputs on this.
Thanks,
Namita

I am trying to transfer files from my MacBook Pro to my iMac using migration Assstance and they cannot find one another. My MacBook Pro uses Migration Assistance 1.0.6 and my new iMac uses 10.5.3. What can I do to allow sharing?

How does one transfer Files from an old MacBook Pro to a new iMac?

10.5.3 is at least part of the problem. You need to apply the latest updates to that mac.
See How do I set up a new Mac from an old one, its backups, or a PC? Select the appropriate link and follow the instructions carefully.

I had a drive failure and lost the iWeb file along with other things. I did manage to save a lot of user file documents but I don't see or recognize the my iWeb site file. It was on a 15" G4 Titanium pb. I'm trying to find a way, using version 2.0.4

I had a drive failure and lost the iWeb file along with other things.
I did manage to save a lot of user file documents but I don't see or
recognize the iWeb site file. It was on a 15" G4 Titanium pb.
I'm trying to find a way, using version 2.0.4 of iWeb on a different
pb to recover the file into the iWeb app or a way to download the site into iWeb.
There are 6 pages of images and text, and it
would be a task for me to recreate the whole thing again. I did
download the site but I don't know how or if I can get iWeb to see it and open it.
Does anyone have any knowledge about this? The link to my site:

Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

Unfortunately iWeb cannot read or import previously published files, only generate them. You'll have to recreate your site 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.

I backed up my old core 2 duo imac and and was trying to transfer files to my new 2011 imac and when i go to oppen a folder from what i transferred it says "The folder "Music" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents."?

I backed up my old core 2 duo imac and and was trying to transfer files to my new 2011 imac and when i go to oppen a folder from what i transferred it says "The folder “Music” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents". Why cant i access the files from my old mac? I tried the time machine and that isnt working either. I have files that I need to use on my new mac, all my old programs and such. I thought they said it was easy to get your files from one mac to another. Please help.

Your account names are probably different on the two Macs. If you know the UNIX command line, open a terminal window and run:
$ id
You should see a line that starts with something like this:
uid=501(your_user_id_here)
now check the owner of the folder you copied over:
$ ls -ld Music
drwx------+ 8 some_user_id_here staff 272 May 14 16:08 Music
Do the IDs match? If not, you could change the ownership. Say your id is "johnsmith"
$ chown -R johnsmith Music
Now try and access it with iTunes.
