???? Marks when I open iWeb

okay; my published site was not damaged, but when I open iWeb, little ? marks appear everywhere (which means it can't find the jpeg file, right).
what did i do to cause iWeb to lose the background, pictures and any png/jpg from the website?
many thanks

If the above suggestion doesn't work, try deleting the iWeb preference file in Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist, restart your Mac and run Disk Utility to repair permissions.
If iWeb still won't launch, click my name in the sidebar to get my email and I'll send you a file to jump start it.

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.

When I open iWeb it does not "Highlight" the New site or new page options. It ahs had this issue for over a year! I have tried uninstalling and re-installing it. What do I do? It opens the tutorial video, then when you close it, nothing else is clickable.

Open iPhoto, select a couple of photos and use the Share ➙ iWeb ➙ Photo page menu option. That has jump started iWeb for others. I could take a couple of tries.
If that 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.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iWeb and try again.

When I opened iweb it opened as a file I deleated. I have a published website with godaddy and would like to update. How can I open the existing iWeb app to the site that is already published?

You cannot retrieve the already published site as iWeb CANNOT open it - it has no import facility.
You need your domain.sites file, which you can find under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. You do not need any kind of account for this because it is your domain.sites file that resides on the hard drive of your Mac anyway. Find this file and you can alter your website.
Use a spotlight search to try and find it and if this does not work you can download something called Find Any File. If you really can't find it, then you'll have to start from scratch because iWeb cannot open a site that is already published.

Site Not Appearing When I Open iWeb 09

When I open iWeb 09 my web site usually appears. Now the application opens but the site does not. The inspector apears but nothing else. Under File I cannot open a new page or new site. Under library/application support/iweb the file named Domain is there. If I try to open that the same thing occurs.
Just before this started happening I would be able to open my site and on my blog page the main page opens and looks fine but the page with the individuals blogs as well as the archive page were blank. The program crashed a couple of times and now nothing appears as I have noted above.
If you have any thoughts on what is happening or has happened and what I can do about it please respond. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the link. Deleting the preferences file worked. Now I get my site back, however the problem with the blog remains.
I have the blog as a second site in iweb. It has been working fine as I have been creating it (haven't published this yet) but now only the Blog page is visible. The Entries page and the Archive page are blank white. When I went to try to publish it just now it came back with an error and unable to publish.
Any thoughts on this remaining concern? Thanks.

Why do my photos appear as an exclamation mark when i open them?

Why do my photos appear as an exclamation mark when I open them?
I used my time machine back up from my old expired power mac and uploaded the contents onto my new iMac.
All of the files uploaded successfully as far as I can see (except the old programs don't work and the consequently all those files are cactus :-( )however when I opened iPhoto only a few photos (500) where in some of the folders.
I went back and found the photos in the back up machine (25000) and dumped them on the iPhoto icon. They down loaded successfully into the correct folders and the thumbprints are visible. When I click on an individual photo the enlarged picture appears for an instant and then an explanation mark in a triangle appears in its place.
The original 500 pics actual worked... now after days of mucking around and with lots of advice I have doubled the number of 'photos' to 50000!!! Ahh,,,, and still the exclamation mark appears
Is there anyway out of this predicament??

This went wrong here:
I went back and found the photos in the back up machine (25000) and dumped them on the iPhoto icon.
Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the link to the original photo.
I would suggest that you restore that library from Time Machine again, and then try repair it.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

When I open iWeb nothing comes up

When I click to open iWeb I see a message saying "opening", but then nothing happens. I cant see my site in iWEB to make changes to it. So I quit it again and reopen but nothing.
I have time capsule if that helps in getting things back. The site is published to the web. But when i open iweb to modify I can not see the pages in iweb to modify.

Try the troubleshooting steps under "Fix iWeb" here....

When i open iweb nothing is there

I have never published a page, or even tried iweb. went to do so today and when I open iweb, there are no templates, or anything... it will only let me "close" in the file menu. i installed the most recent software update too. still same result.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions after the last update? If not do so. If that doesn't help, try the following to jump start iWeb: launch iPhoto, select a couple of photos and click on the iWeb button in the bottom toolbar. Some users have reported that it may take 5 or 6 tries before iWeb will work correctly.

When i open iWeb appear Can't create file "(null)."

When i open iWeb appear this mensage: "Can’t create file “(null).”", what is happen?

If the above suggestion doesn't work, try deleting the iWeb preference file in Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist, restart your Mac and run Disk Utility to repair permissions.

TA24927 My videos aren't showing when I open Iweb, but they do show when I publish the site, any ideas why?

They do play in the browser just not in the application, makes it hard when I try to organize the page

Well, if the video displays after publishing then nothing is wrong.
If you cannot see the video in iWeb, then your code probably does not allow it to display in the application.
In that case, imagine that you see the video.
If that's too difficult, use a picture.

How do I fix that I accidentally dragged the safari application ( an open window I was on and tryed to drag it to repositions) into an Iweb icon on the side bar, now when I open Iweb it says cannot open /applications/safari.app" ..

I had a safari window open, I went to drag it up on to the destop more but my finger slipped and it dropped into the icon on side bar iWeb that I had been working on. now My iWeb app says "cannot open /application/safari.app" . Ihave already tryed to drag the iWeb to trash and reinstall the applications cd. also, since tryng to figure it out via posts oon apple support that seemed similar ( finding in library and under listing etc )
also.. the tool bar is huge and so I am afraid I have screwed this computer up...

Try following.
First (force) quit Safari, iWeb and all other open applications.
Drag iWeb to the Trash, empty the trash. Restart mac. Recover iWeb from Time Mache backup before you made the mistake.

Why does quicktime have a question mark when I open Safari - how do I fix?

Whenever I open Safari to any page with Quicktime I
get a Q with a questions mark through it.
I am about ready to hang myself.
Thanks,
John

Edgar123,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Sounds as if somehow your Mac has misplaced the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime Plugin.webplugin file. Try searching your hard drive to see if that plug-in is around in the wrong spot, or download and re-install the Quicktime installer from the Downloads link at the top of the Discussions page.

How to fix/delete ? ? marks when folders opened? (see image).

These ? marks are now present on all folders.
This seems to be a feature of 10.7 Lion as I have never seen it before with Leopard on my MacBook and have just recently upgraded.
On clicking the ?mark, sometimes a filename (of a jpeg) is shown briefly below. Perhaps the ?mark indicates finder is searching for a file and been unable to find it (though spotlight can). File may be a renamed/moved file perhaps. May involve previously using photoshop elements.
Baffled! Please educate me about these ? marks. Please help me to get rid of them!
Thanks Tim.

The system has lost track of what was there. Could be because the original item was deleted and the link in the toolbar no longer points to anything.
Hold down the command key and drag them out of the toolbar.
If it was something you wanted there, replace it with the original by dragging it into the toolbar. There's nothing there in the default toolbar.

Can't open iWeb website

I have spent several days creating a website in iWeb.
Today when I opened iWeb I couldn't see my website.
the files are in a folder on the desktop, but can't work out how to access these again via iWeb.
every time I clicked 'save' on a finished page, I also clicked 'publish' and these HTML files open fine in Safari.
Feeling very frustrated to be stuck when the website is so nearly finished!

You need to find your domain.sites file to be able to work and update your site.
This can be found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. It is this domain file that you need. Just double click it and iWeb will open it. Be sure to look in your User Library though - the one with the House, as iWeb is not in your System Library.
Unfortunately, publishing your site is not saving it because iWeb can't open html pages because it has no import facility, so if I were you I would delete all your published site files until you are ready to finally publish your site.
Find the domain.sites file and you can complete your site.

Comments - appearing on blog but upon opening iWeb no comment are shown

I am unable to edit/delete my comments because they are not appearing on iWeb when I open it on my computer. However, the comments are appearing on the blog. For instance, on my most recent entry there are 4 comments but when I open iWeb on my MacBook Pro it shows no comments. Weird? Any ideas?

Answered my own question - apparently it was a glitch and when I published a new blog entry the old comments appeared. Just a glitch I guess.
