IWeb works, but I can't find the domain file!!!!
OK - this one has had me stumped for a few days now... I have iWeb (vs. 1.1.2 - from the '06 iLife). I need to find the domain file. It isn't in the home/library/app. support/iWeb folder. I didn't move it. I searched for it using command-F and using spotlight on my computer.
iWeb is to reset and start from scratch if there isn't a domain file on your hard drive. So I know it's there somewhere (at least, I think it is?). My site is there. I can publish. I can make changes, however I can't find the domain file to make a back up of it. I don't think that I made it invisible - could I have somehow done that? And if so, is it possible to find it? I believ the program only works if the file is named "domain" so I don't think that I could have accidentally renamed it.
Is there someone out there who can help me? I don't want to have to start from scratch and rebuild the websites.
Thanks for your input!
This is from Multisite's Technical Page:
Technical Information
While you don’t need to understand how data is stored to use Multisite for iWeb it can be helpful occasionally to understand what is going on behind the scenes. At a nuts and bolts level Multisite for iWeb stores all of its sites in your home folder’s Documents folder in a single package (which is really a fancy folder dressed up to look like a file) called “Multisite for iWeb Data.mfi.”
You can open that package like this.
Once you get your domain file straightened out I'd definitely get Varkgirl's Automator application to make frequent backups of that file. You can get it Varkgirl's iWeb Tips and Tricks site.

i backup my iphone on my pc and copy backup file into drive D then i setup new OS on my pc. after that i copy the backup file into itunes backup folder but itunes can't find the backup file to restore my iphone. how can i restore my iphone?
Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
I found the answer to my question.
When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer. -
I took 3500 pictures with an iPhone 5 and a Canon Ixus camera whil on holiday in China. I downloaded them onto my MacBook every day.
Now we're back home I want to back them up onto my Windows 7 PC as it has a 1 TB HDD.
My PC and MacBook can see each other over the wi-fi network (the PC has an Ethernet connection to the wifi router) and the MacBook can copy files from the PC but not vice versa although the PC can "see" the MacBook - just not copy or transfer any files.
Also when I look for the jpegs for my holiday pics I can't find them on the MacBook though they open happily in iPhoto. When I look in my iPhoto library it seems to have (among other things) an XML file as a database but no actual jpegs. There are some jpegs on the MacBook but these are from photos I transferred from the PC before I out the 1TB HDD in.
Where are the actual photos stored and how can I transfer them to the PC over the wifi network?Selectthem in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder - see the user tip on exporting for edtails on the options available - from there it has not involvement of iPhoto - what access you have andhow you access the Mac disk is a subject for a differnt forum
Direct access to the contents of the ihoto library - a SQLite database - is not supported

I am in the process of building a new website in iWeb '09 for the first time since upgrading to Lion but can't find the domain file I'm working on so as to make a backup. I have run the script that makes the Library folder visible, since Lion hides this folder, but the Application Support folder in Library doesn't contain a folder for iWeb. I have searched and searched for domains and .site files with no luck. Fortunately, I can open the new site in iWeb and update and publish, but I have no idea where it is finding the domain file that it is opening. As you can imagine, I'm very uneasy about not being able to back up the site as I invest more work into it.
I have two other iWeb sites that were created prior to the Lion upgrade. Each is in a separate account on my iMac. I had moved the domain files for these sites out of the Library/Application Support/iWeb folders to more easily accessible folders prior to the Lion upgrade, so they are fine.
It's the new site that is causing me concern.
Interestingly, when I move one of the old domains to a new account on my iMac as a test, when I double click on it, iWeb launches but wants me to create a new website rather than opening the site associated with the old domain file.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.Use the freeware app Find File to track down the Domain - or Domain.sites2 - file...
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file
See this page for info about opening Domain files using Lion and Mountain Lion...
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file
Also note that you don't have to run a script to show the user Library. Just open the Finder Go menu while holding down the option key.
On the same page you will find a link to the freeware Mountain Tweaks which will hide/show the library plus a lot of other exciting tweaks. -
But we can't find the iWeb page you've requested
This is getting FRUSTRATING!
I have created my iWeb pages, clicked PUBLISH ALL TO .mac I get a CONGRATULATIONS message that it's loaded, I click VISIT SITE, and I get this bloody error message
"We're Sorry but we can't find the iWeb page you've requested" It's possible that:
· The address was entered incorrectly. Check your spelling and try again.
· The .Mac member of this name has either created a page and removed it or has never published an iWeb site.
· There is no .Mac member of this name. If you'd like this member name for yourself, sign up for a .Mac account right now and have your own iWeb site in minutes.
Well, I don't know what the deal is. I have done everything I can think of, I am doing everything I am supposed to do! HELP!!!Nope. Says does not exist. IT DOES! LOL... trust me.
http://web.mac.com/kendles/iweb/Welcome.html
There is no site name between "iweb/" and "/Welcome.html, so that url can't be correct. What is the name of your site inside the iWeb app. -
I own CS 5 Design Premium. Reading the FAQs, it seems I am eligible to upgrade to CS 6 but I can't find the upgrade to purchase and download. I can't upgrade to CC because $49 per month is too much for me -- I don't use this product for work. The $29 offer seems reasonable but $49 is way too much. I don't need the majority of the programs included in CC, but subscribing to just three of them will cost way more. Really not sure what to do here :-(
Thanks Ned. I did find this page, however it isn't an upgrade. I have been purchasing Adobe products for years so that I could just pay the upgrade price for current products. With the current system, I would be paying much more than I would for an upgrade. For example, I have been using my version of CS for at least three years. The upgrade cost me $750 so that comes out to around $21 per month. I guess I have no options as far as upgrading except for paying for the overpriced CC. Oh well, time to start looking for alternatives. It was just so convenient to have the same programs at home that I use at work.

my iWeb image names are incompatible with FTP servers and must be renamed but I can't find the images in iWeb. I can upload to a desktop file and change them there but then I would need to download them to a new site in iWeb to publish them.
What's the answer?
ThanksMany thanks to responded to my question and sorry not to get back sooner.
Yes, I discovered by this unfortunate experience that the names of photos are a serious issue if the site is to ever go to an FTP server. Apple should discuss this carefully in their "manual".
One more question: I uploaded the website to a folder on my desktop. When I open it, unlike the photos in iWeb, there are folders for each page which have all the photos in them. I went through each folder and changed the names to be FTP compatible. I'm using iWeb SEO Tool which allows one to upload from this local folder to an FTP server but having trouble.
Is this because there is an imbedment in iWeb that uses the old photo names to link to the actual photos and it can't find them because of the name changes?
Thanks again for your help ...

I just installed Lion OSX. Where can one find the "domain" for iWeb?
With Snow Leopard one could find the "domain" for one's iWeb in Admin+Library+application support+iWeb. When one changed computers, one simply had to save this domain and then put it in the right place in the new computer. Things have changed with Lion OSX - and I can't find the "domain" for my web site.
Anyone know where to look (Scripts?)
Thanks,
T...The reason Apple has hidden the User/Library folder is that there is not longer any reason to get into it what with iWeb (and iDVD) being discontinued and no longer supported.
We now know iWeb, and iDVD, have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
If a site is published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client to an ftp server subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed will be broken. If published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
The iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.

I asked about automatic backup of bookmarks and received the following answer:You can make Firefox 3 create an automatic HTML backup (bookmarks.html) when you exit Firefox if you set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML] to true on the about:config page. That backup is created by default in the profile folder as bookmarks.html, but you can set the file name and path via the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.file browser.bookmarks.file] on the about:config page. I went to about:config page and toggled browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML to “Yes” and it’s working. However, I want to change the file location, but I can’t find browser.bookmarks.file in the list.
The browser.bookmarks.file preference does not exist by default. Right-click in about:config and select "New > String" to create it.

My Airport 6.1 can't manage my base station. I need to use AirPort Utility 5.6 but i can't find the right download. I've been downloading several but it always after havingf instal the first 3 steps the same message: Airport utility....can't be installed... The version of OS X on this version
doesn't support this base station...
I need help please to find the correcte download so i can my wii-fii work as soon as possible (because my wife is making me crazy, she can't go on Facebook!!!! )
Thank's for your help,
MikeUse AirPort Utility 5.6 which contains the features you need. It is compatible with Lion as well as Mountain Lion, however, the installer app will refuse to install it on Mountain Lion.
This dilemma is easily solved though. You simply need to extract the app from the installer package using a package extractor like Pacifist.
Download Pacifist here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
Download AirPort Utility 5.6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
If you happen to have an archived copy of the AU 5.6 app somewhere, such as a Time Machine backup or equivalent, you can simply restore it or drag the app to your Mountain Lion system's Utilities folder. It will run without complaint. It is only the package installer that is the problem.
Mountain Lion will not allow you to delete its existing version of AirPort Utility. Just ignore it. It and the older version (which will bear the unique name "AirPort Utility 5.6") can peacefully coexist.
Note: For those with Leopard or Snow Leopard systems you need AirPort Utility 5.6.1 (this is confusing - a later AirPort Utility version for an earlier OS X version - but it is correct).
Download AirPort Utility 5.6.1 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1536 -

OK, here's the Windows version of the update:
Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop 12.0.4 update for Adobe Photoshop CS5
and for Mac:
Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop 12.0.4 update for Adobe Photoshop CS5
Of course, ignore the idiotic recommendation that appears there to try to use Help > Updates. We already know that doesn't work.

When I subscribed to iTunes Match I lost all my songs. I did a back up of my ITunes Library to iCloud but I can't find the songs! Can someone help me?
I guess the iTunes store is not recognizing your computer. Did you de-authorise your computer after you uploaded to iTunes Match. Did you register your new computer with a different User ID? Do you have Genius turned on (which needs to be on as it works in conjunction with iTunes Match. Did you authorise your new computer?
You paid for ITunes match & uploaded your songs using a different computer. So there are obviously one or more steps which need to be taken to download your media from the iCloud. Either someone else with more expertise than I can help you, for example, Limnos Limnos ; or King_Penguin King_Penguin or Chris_CA https://discussions.apple.com/people/Chris%20CA would probably be able to help you better than I.
I don't work for Apple, I'm only a volunteer, if you can't get help from someone as mentioned above there's always Kappy (who is extremely busy) Kappy ;
then I would recommend going through the tried and true channel here > http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
Sorry I couldn't solve your problem myself. I'm about ready to retire from this game.

Time machine working well but I can't find backed up files fast enough?
Time machine working well but I can't find backed up files fast enough. When I look in Time machine backups I'm looking in a folder and I can't remember what it was, but I go back in time and the finder goes from 98 files to 100 files, how do I find which 2 files were the ones deleted? Going back and forth from past to present is a pain! I need to figure out which file it was faster? Have any ideas?
With the new "Find" feature it actually highlights what you are looking for such as in Safari. Does Time Machine have a feature to highlight the files/folders that were deleted really from the present?It sounds like you aren't looking for any file in particular, but notice a change in number of files and would like to know what changed rather than knowing that a specific file is now missing.
that's a good point, and it appears that TM is not setup to describe the changes over time. If I recall correctly, it has a plug-in ability, so maybe somebody will fill in that void.
