Load site created on 1 computer into iweb of another?

i created a site for a friend in iweb on my own macbook and want to load it into iweb on his macbook so that he can maintain it. does anyone know how to do this? i tried loading the domain file from library/applications support/iweb, but he does not have an iweb folder in his applications support folder. any help would be appreciated
macbookpro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

He doesn't have such a folder probably because he's not launched iWeb yet. Just have him create an iWeb folder there and put your Domain.sites file into it. When iWeb is then launched it will look in that folder and open the file.

  • Transferring website from old computer into iWeb

    My hard drive crashed the other day and I just got a new one put in. I had a website created, but can't figure out how to set the old page up in iWeb to edit it.
    Anyone know how to make the old page accessible in iWeb?

    The files for your iWeb page are stored in User/Library/Application Support/iWeb and called something like Domain.sites2. You would need to copy it from your old hard drive to your new one. This of course is probably not possible if the old drive has crashed so you will have to restore it from a backup. If you don't have a backup file I suspect you will have to start again as I don't think there is any other way of doing it. (By the way the file in question is a package file so if you want to see what is inside it you need to right click on it and choose "Show Package Contents). Best of luck!

  • Inserting a Form Created in CoffeeCup Form Designer into iWeb...

    Hi all,
    I created a web form in CoffeeCup's Flash Form creator (on my PC). The end result is 7 files and a section of code. I presume that I can insert the code as a snippet (I have version '08) but I'm unsure as to where to put the 7 associated files. In addition, this site is hosted on Go Daddy, not .Mac. Any tips on where/how in the folder architecture on my Mac to place the 7 files generated by CoffeeCup and does anyone know if there's anything funky I need to do to post this all to Go Daddy... Thanks in advance for any advice...

    Yes, you can enter the Html code as a snippet, however, as far as I know you have wasted your time creating 7 pages with coffee cup as you will not be able to merge them into iWeb. Others have asked this same question and I don't think it is possible to merge web sites or pages created with other web site packages such as Dreamweaver into iWeb. You can't import in that way.
    You will either need to use iWeb or coffee cup, but not both.
    Use an ftp client to upload to GoDaddy. There are many - Fetch, Cyberduck or Transmit. You can do this in iWeb too.

  • How do i get an iweb 1.1 site loaded into iweb 2.0.2 for editing?

    Hi. I have a site up on .mac that was built using iweb 1. I also have the source files on my mac. I gather that iWeb 2 uses a domain file to store all this information now.
    Can you help me get my old iweb 1 site files loaded into iweb 2 so that i can edit and republish? The site is actually still live on .mac.
    Thank you for your help.
    -patrick.

    ...And iWeb 1 used a domain file also. If you have it, iWeb 2 will be able to open your site made with iWeb 1 so you can continue development. If you no longer have it you'll have to rebuild your site manually. See this thread:

  • How to open the created site on another computer in iWeb

    I have an interesting problem. I have created a complex site on my computer and now I would like to be able able to open it and work on it on another computer in iWeb. But whatever I try does not work. I published the complete site to a folder and thought I could open it from there on the other computer. But when I start iWeb, it immediately forces me to select a design from the new site etc, when I cancel it, it closes. No sign of "open" command. Any hint would be deeply appreciated. Thank you

    Separate domain files can be stored in individual folders and launched in iWeb by double clicking them. Alternatively, you can manage these sites with the freeware iWebsites.

  • How do I load my website into iWeb after backing up my computer?

    I have the site in the "Sites" folder but I can't seem to find a way to reload the content into iWeb to edit it again.
    How can I solve this problem?
    If you need more information I can try to provide it.

    Cool,
    Um so if I didn't backup that file am I screwed? I only took the files in the "Sites" folder and hoped that would be enough.
    It wasn't a direct backup my hard drive crashed or whatever and I had to do an emergency backup as I didn't have proper backup due to moving countries and what not. Thats me just being new and not knowing anything about this sort of stuff.
    Would be great if there was a way to solve the problem still if not is the best thing to do as see this as an opportunity to reinvent my Website?
    Thanks.

  • Have iweb website created on one computer and now want to move the entire website to a second computer, have iweb website created on one computer and now want to move the entire website to a second computer

    I have taken over the administation of our website, created on iWeb on anoher computer, Now have iWEb installed on my computer, have downloaded all files from server. How do I open this files/this website in iWeb? Do I have to download the files into the app? Onto my desktop?
    Can anybody help me with this?
    Thanks,
    Sten

    The simple answer to this question is that you DON'T and you CAN'T.  You have downloaded html and css files - ie, the published site from your server.  Unfortunately, iWeb has no import facility so is unable to read any html or css files - it's a one way street and iWeb produces all the html and css files upon publishing and that is it.
    If you are taking over the admin of the site, you need the previous administrator to give you the domain.sites file - this is the iWeb data file where everthing is stored.  The domain.sites file livers under your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. 
    You need to get them to e-mail this file or they can stick it on a flash drive for you or whatever, but it is this file that you need.
    If you don't or can't get access to this file, then you'll have to use another programme to update and administer the site - one that has import facilities.  You could use a plain html editor such as Text Wrangler or you could use a programme called Flux 4 that has import facilities.
    Contact the previous administrator.

  • Download My Deleted Site Back Into iWeb from .Mac?

    I accidentally deleted my website from my computer but it's hosted on .Mac, is there a way to download it back into iWeb? That would be too easy....

    If you're managing multiple sites you might consider iWebSites. I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
    If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want. I don't open iWeb directly but always thru iWebSites.

  • How do I edit site created by iWeb on iWeb - oddly no option seems to exist

    A year ago, I created a website with iWeb - saved it to a folder and uploaded it to our corporate server. I believe at some time in the past, I was able to quickly edit the package and rehost. Now I am unable to "find" the folder from iWeb. I placed the folder package in the Sites folder but there seems to be no option to load and edit the package from the iWeb menu - it keeps asking me to select templates and start from scratch.
    I created the site in Tiger and am now running Leopard. Due to complications during the Leopard install, I had to replace my hard drive, but I was able to slowly migrate everything (?) back to the Leopard install. As I said previously, I have the website folder package and can open and verify that the contents are intact - I simply cannot find a way to get it into iWeb to edit it.
    PLEASE HELP! Thanks.

    I placed the folder package in the Sites folder but there seems to be no option to load and edit the package from the iWeb menu
    Clearly you know very little about this application.
    Due to complications during the Leopard install, I had to replace my hard drive
    You're the only person I've ever heard of in the history of computers that claims to have ruined a hard drive with software. Clearly, you know little of operating systems as well.
    I have the website folder package and can open and verify that the contents are intact - I simply cannot find a way to get it into iWeb to edit it.
    This statement, again, clearly indicates the desire to import published html back into the iWeb application. This is the "root" of your post and Kirk spoke to it directly.
    Your intentions here are clear to most of us; you really don't want to solve your problems--you would rather disrupt this forum. I myself answered your Leopard issue weeks and weeks ago, yet you continue to bash Apple with most of your posts.
    They don't respond to you in the Leopard forums anymore. I suggest the good people here stop responding to you as well.

  • How do I link my web site to a new computer/iweb versin ?

    I have owned multiple computers since putting up my website via iWeb. The original computer is now gone. Non of my current computers host the website any longer. The files are completely on the idisk server thus, I can't edit the site.
    How do I get my computer or computers to have access to the "Site" folder in my idisk so iWeb '09 can regain the ability to design/alter the pages there ?
    Thanks.

    There is no way to alter your pages using iWeb unless you have copy of the Domain file that was used to create them somewhere. Keeping backups of that file, located in Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb is essential. If you don't have one, you will have to recreate the site.

  • I am trying to edit my website which was composed in iweb. I have my website saved on my hard drive. When I open iweb, I can't seem to load the website folder into iweb for editing purposes. Anyone know a quick solution to this?

    I am trying to edit my website which, was composed on iweb about 2 years ago. I have the website stored on my hard drive. When I open iweb, I can't figure out how to load the website into iweb for editing purposes. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

    You need to migrate to a modern, supported webpage development application and leave iWeb behind.  It hasn't been supported for 2 years now and was behind the curve feature wise when it was dropped by Apple.
    One app that many have migrated to because it is very similar to iWeb in the GUI and features is Everweb.  It has a demo version that you can try.  Text and photos from you current published site can be copied and pasted into Everweb to help the migration over.
    There are other possible candidates.  Just search the iWeb forum for "iWeb alternative" or "iWeb replacement" to get a list of topics discussing them.

  • Site created on iWeb '08, but now only appears online, NOT in iWeb

    I created a site on iWeb 08 and published it to web.me.com and to a folder (just in case!)
    The site's currently viewable online, BUT now it's not in iWeb as one of my sites, so I can't make changes.
    Anyone know if I can drag the site back into iWeb?

    Welcome to the discussions. No, you can't drag the published site back into iWeb — only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
    Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.
    See also these Apple docs:
    _iWeb ’08: Backing up your Domain file_
    Recovering items using Time Machine and Spotlight
    But Spotlight does not look in all areas of the hard drive. Download and run Find File to search for ".sites2".
    Paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

  • Moving existing Blogger blog into iWeb site

    I have an existing web site and am recreating it using iWeb
    This includes a blog of some years which is created via Blogger.
    Can I import my blogger blog (or the code from it) into an iWeb page so that it has the same look and feel?
    I'd also wnat to ensure that whenever I publish changes to the iWeb site that it does not overwrite the Blogger Blog page - is this possible?

    Keith ~ iWeb doesn't have an import capability. And even if it did, I would recommend you stick with Blogger — that way you'll avoid recurring problems such as these:
    Changed theme on main blog page, lost all entries
    Lost two years of blog comments
    ...iWeb's blog is simply not a robust one — see the following thread started by a concerned person which has a satisfactory ending with a non-iWeb blog:

  • Editing a site created with Iweb - with another program

    Hello,
    I built a website for a friend and he wants to be able to make small changes on it from time to time and I downloaded a WYSIWYG editor and none of them are compatible with sites created with Iweb...
    Does anyone have any suggestions? He runs a windows machine.
    Thank you so much!!!

    Well, not really. A lot of people have their sites built for them and then, with a little guidance, can change out photos, or do a little editing here and there. So your idea certainly has merit.
    The problem is, iWeb is a unique html generator. It stores everything you create in the application in a single file, (Domain.sites2), and only the application itself can open this file for editing. iWeb doesn't even create the html until you publish the site, either to a folder or to an Apple server. iWeb also changes many things into .png files--including text--believe it or not, in a well intentioned effort to cross platform better with other browser applications. So even simple text editors, which would normally be fine for changing small things in most websites, will struggle.
    Your idea was a good one; it is iWeb that isn't a good candidate for it.
    You must therefore now convince this person to become an Apnewbie, and buy a Mac!
