Iweb will not open

Iweb will not open, it shows up in the dock with the option to quit. "Adjust image" "colors" and "photos" all show up under the VIEW when selected but that all.  No apple stores in my area.  Could use some help.

You're saying you don't see an iWeb window when you double click on the iWeb icon in the Dock? 
It's partially open since the iWeb icon in the dock offers the Quit option.  So first try this:
open iPhoto.
select a few photos.
use the Share ➙ iWeb ➙ Photos page menu option.
launch iWeb to see if there's any change.
It might take a couple of attempts to work. If the above doesn't work try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iiWeb.plist, that resides in your
     User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
     User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder.

3 - launch iWeb and try again.

    Delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. Then launch iWeb and see if it opens. 
    What happened was trying to open the html file reset the file path that iWeb saves in its preference file to tell it where to go when you launch iWeb.  Deleting the pref file and launching iWeb creates a new file and iWeb looks in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder for the Domain.sites2 file it uses to create your site.

    Are you saying that the application does not launch or that your domain file with the site in it doesn't open?

  • Iweb will not open, can someone please help me?

    I opened iweb once and started my website, then the program quit unexpectedly and now it will not open anymore. can someone please help me because i really need to use the program.
    Thanks

    Were you able to launcn iWeb as part of the second fix, that of creating a new domain file?  Did iWeb open then?  If not boot into  Safe Mode and see if iWeb will launch. If it does reboot normally and try again.
    If still a no go log into another user account on your Mac and see if iWeb will launch and open a domain file?  If so than there's something in your account that is the culprit.
    If you can't launch iWeb in the other user account then a reinstallation of iWeb seems warranted. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,

    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apple the requried updaters.

  • My iWeb will not open

    I tried to go into the source files to change some of the template features- but decided it was too much trouble and changed everything back to normal.  Now I am getting this error message when I try to open iWeb: Can’t open file “/Applications/iWeb.app/Contents/Resources/Themes/Fine Line.webtheme/English.lproj/Blank.webtemplate.
    Any idea how to fix?  I would just uninstall/reinstall- but I'm not sure I have the iLife disk as it came loaded on my MacBook Pro.

    iLife is inside disc #1 that came with your computer when you purchased it.  You can custom install. 

  • IWeb will NOT open domain package, tried many things.

    I hope someone can help me. I searched the forum several times and went through all six pages of results looking for an answer. I did try everything listed in the few posts that did seem related, as well as a lot of those tips in combination with others, but nothing has helped.
    Problem: After an AppleStore hard drive replacement, I copied things over from my Time Machine backup, as well as a backup of the more important things on another external drive. I copied things very peacemeal, basically starting from scratch for a few weeks to make sure the problem I was having was gone. (It's not, but that's a story for another day). When it came time to copy over my domain file and open it, it wouldn't open with iWeb. That is to say, doubleclicking it would open iWeb, but even watching activity monitor like a hawk, I couldn't see that it was doing anything.
    Here is what I HAVE tried:
    1 - deleted current domain file, and copied old one in it's place. No change.
    2 - emptied the folder usually used to hold the domain, opened iWeb to create a new one. Close iWeb, copy domain to desktop, then copy the old one in it's place. No change.
    3 - delete preferences and caches for iWeb, then repeat step 2. No change.
    4 - delete preferences and caches for iWeb, then delete any combination of the following from the domain package: .plist files, domainstate.archive file, index.xml file. I tried this step about six times, with a different combination of these files each time, finishing with a repeat of step 2, and testing it. The only combinations that had any change were leaving only the index.xml file in the package, which got me about a second-long loading bar, then nothing, and leaving both the index.xml and the domainstate.archive in the package, which got iWeb to peak around 90-110% CPU (on activity monitor), flash the app not responding message a few times, then about 10 seconds later, it started idling again, nothing having opened.
    Each time I've tried both opening iWeb first, and then actually doubleclicking the domain package. No difference between them. Then I copied the iWeb app from the time machine backup into my documents folder, and manually tried to open the domain package, with .plists missing, with that copy of iWeb. No change there either.
    Both copies of iWeb, the one that last saved to the domain, and the one I'm trying to open it with, are the same version. I don't even been an OS update since it was last saved; I'm pretty sure I was on 10.6.4 then too.
    I'm a little hung on what to do next. There isn't much in the domain package that could be causing issues except for the ones I tried copying out; everything else is just pretty standard file types.
    That said, I'm not sure what could be causing the issue on the iWeb end, since I not only deleted the preferences and caches, but also tried a whole different application file.
    I am planning to do a clean install on this computer, yet again, and start from scratch in hopes I can pinpoint what is causing my (unrelated to this issue) problem, for the Apple tech guys.
    Should I just do another Time Machine backup with this new image, as well as keeping the old one, and then try to copy it over again when I've re-installed? I was hoping not to have to do it for another few weeks, because I'll need another external, since this one is out of space, but I also need to be able to edit this site!
    Any help anyone has, even it's just a hunch of a suggestion, would be fantastic, and very appreciated. At this point, I'll try anything that won't damage any of my data, no matter how far-fetched.
    Thanks!

    It sounds as if the problems, or the symptoms at least, are the same. When I double click the domain file, iWeb opens (with the open/welcome/tutorial screen if I've just deleted preference and cache files), and I'll get the menu bar, but nothing else. With the right combination of files removed from the domain package (see my previous posts for that), I can coax a loading bar out of it, but it "loads" in the normal few seconds, and nothing displays. Nada. Menu bar has iWeb, but almost all of the items in any drop down menu are greyed out, all the important ones I checked for anyway, and you can see either the desktop or finder window, or whatever other application that was open before you clicked the domain file.
    I'm not sure I included this in my last post, but I did try just simply disabling MobileMe, but without any luck. I never really thought it would work, but figured it could never hurt to try.
    The disk utility found a few permissions problems, but none were related to iWeb, they all actually seemed to stem from one thing. I did repair, but no improvement. I'm hoping to have some time this weekend to try some different things to see if I can get it to open. I'll keep a detailed list of what seemed to help, what didn't, and if I'm lucky, what solved it. Short of that, free time allowing, I plan to do a clean install I need to do for another reason, on Sunday. Unfortunately that means you guys won't get any details as to what would have solved it short of something drastic like that (hopefully that will solve it...) but I've got deadlines approaching, not only for that, but for the initial reason for the clean install.
    I will try everything I can think of, and anything anyone else can think of, and will volunteer to me. I'm going to move enough files around this evening and tomorrow on my externals to do a full time machine backup, plus second backup of the more important files, so anything you want to suggest, I'll be a testing ground, so others with the issue hopefully won't have to resort to the clean install. As re-installing iWeb had no effect, I'm going to assume, with my limited knowledge in this area, that problem stems from a shared file or the domain package itself. Hopefully not the latter; it's all I've got.
    Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions of even something to look for that might serve to flag my attention to investigate further, I'd appreciate it, so we can get a solid plan of attack for others.
    Thanks for your help so far, everyone!

  • Iweb will not open in older bversions of internet explorer

    many of the people I want to see my website like non-profits can't open it in internet explorer. Can i fix this somehow?

    I have the same problem! Either Web-Gallery works with IE 6, nor my Web-Blog (also Archiv) can be opend. I read about this problem, you should use the latest versions of IE or better Firefox.
    *Anyway, this is a massive disadvantage to the former version of iWeb!*
    I did not find special discription, what kind of browser (and which particular settings!!) are necessary!
    Who can help??

  • IWeb Will Not Open With iPhone

    I have an iWeb site that I can open with my computer without problems.
    But ever since I installed OS 10.6.4 I cannot open the iWeb site with my iPhone 4.
    It begins to load the "Welcome" page then the iWeb page crashes on my iPhone.
    All fonts are "web" fonts.
    Any solutions possible?
    Thanks!

    Tough to say without seeing it What is the address?
    If you have a movie file / Audio file on your Welcome page that is not compatible with iPhone 4 that might do it. (See the audio and video specs here: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP587)

    I upgraded to '09 but the sites that I created when I had '08 will not open. They are listed on the side menu but when you click on them the main window is blank/white. Is anyone having or had this problem and found the solution? Please help.
    I have the files saved to a folder and I also think I have the old domain file backed up on another hard drive. That is extra information just incase that can help me.

  • How to fix a Domain file that will not open

    We have a Domain file on our Mac Mini that will not open - iWeb keeps saying that it cannot be found, even though it is in the Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. I transferred the Domain file to my GS, and I get the same response - if I switch back to the original Domain file (on the G5), all is well. Obviously, the Domain file from the Mac Mini has gotten corrupted, but cannot determine the exact problem (though I think it may be the index.xml.gz file). I've reinstalled iWeb, checked permissions, deleted (and re-created) the associated plist files - nothing. Unfortunately, our company's web pages are in that Domain file, and cannot perform some much-needed updates. Any help that can be offered would be most appreciated!!

    Have you tried double-clicking on the Domain file?

    If you are trying to launch iWeb '09 with a domain file made in iWeb '08, drag the domain file out of Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb into a new folder and then try launching.

    after updating My computer, my iweb is not opening...please help me get it back!

    Verify that your domain file is located in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder which will be invisible. However, 
    NOTE: 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 press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For  Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    Next:
    To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks 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.
    Since iWeb has discontinued by Apple the new systems don't handle the iWeb preference pane as it was in earlier.  The script corrects that situation and once you open the domain file the first time you can just use iWeb to open it from there on.  However, you'll need it if you plan on using more than one domain file. And adhear to the warning above.
