"Missing" iWeb sites

After I installed the 08 iLife software, none of my previous web designs are listed (i.e carried over) in the new 08 iWeb.
Any suggestions on how to bring my previous web designs back into iWeb 08 would be greatly appreciated.
PS -
(1) I did download the latest 08 software updates & the problem still is there.
(2) All of my previous web designs are currently on my .MAC account.
(3) I saved all of the previous web designs to folders too.
Regards-
Dan

Go into Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb to find your old domain.sites files. Put them into separate folders named after each site.
Rename the files domain.sites2 and then double click any one to launch it in iWeb '08.

  • How to move iWeb site with missing Domain.sites file

    I've been asked to host a friend's iWeb site now that MobileMe is no longer an option.  The problem is that the MacBook it was created with is long gone and the only original files remaining are the image files for the site. No Domain.sites file.  They are also not sure which version of iWeb was used, if that even matters.  Initially I was thinking we could just access the existing site using ftp and go from there - upload the site to my hosting account and use Dreamweaver to maintain it, but everything I've read seems to point to 'Not gonna happen that way'.
    Is there a way to transfer an existing iWeb site hosted on MobileMe to a new hosting account and be able to work on it with another editor, all the while not having the original Domain.sites(2) file?
    Thanks much,
    Mark

    Quite a few people are moving to other drag and drop style editors like Sandvox and RapidWeaver although they aren't really any better - just more expensive.
    I advise people not to use iWeb for new sites and just to keep it going to update existing ones until they are defunct or rebuilt some other way.
    I quit using iWeb about a year ago due to the fact that it, and similar apps, can't create responsive designs for mobile devices although I did figure out a stop gap design for iPhones...

  • How do I fix an error "4652747.png" when publishing my iWeb site to iMac?

    Every time I try to publish my iWeb site to .Mac I get an error message that says there's an error in " ...files/ca4652747.png." I know this is an image file, but when i search for it on my hard drive it shows a blank image. I've tried deleting the file from the hard drive but when I re-publish, a second file "c00ff001c.png" on a different web page shows the same error. I can't figure out how to fix these errors. It publishes to a folder, or so it says, but i don't know how to check that. I am supposed to publish the entire site at the end of this week and have all the work done but can't get past this point. Can anyone help me? I'm a new mac user and this is my first shot at web design, so I've probably missed something obvious, but would appreciate any help.

    k, try this:
    backup your domain file! delete the one in the folder BUT HAVE A COPY OF IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. Then open iWeb, create something save it and publish it!
    now go to your backuped file,make one more backup!!!!
    move one of the backuped files into the Users/username/bblablabla folder and open iWeb. try publish all and see if it works!

  • More than one user login to iWeb site? Can it be done?

    I am wondering if it's possible to create multiple users to log into a iWeb site. However I think you can only have one username and one password, but maybe I'm missing something.

    It's not very clear what you mean by "users" or "site." If you are talking about .Mac, and about different user accounts on your machine being able to do things on a single .Mac account, there is no problem -- the same username and password can be put into the .Mac preferences for each account. Any iWeb sites created from different machine accounts will have their data located exclusively in the Domain file in the Home folder of that account. One user can't edit the site of another user without tranfering the relevant Domain file.
    If that's not what you are talking about, let us know.

  • IWeb site remade in Dreamweaver - cleaner code, faster loading?

    I love iWeb. But iWeb sites load slow ... and there is a LOT of messy code in there (my web experts and html whiz friends tell me this). I've tried optimizers, but found they often create odd and unpredictable glitches on individual pages. And only speed up the load process by 10%.
    I'm experimenting with designing the site in iWeb, then transferring all the materials\text\graphics into Dreamweaver ... to see if this gives me a faster loading site. I wonder if I'm wasting my time?
    And I'd love to know a way to have the iWeb sites load faster ...
    Ben

    I don't think you can pin it down to a percentage for each page. If you watch WSM as it optimizes your files you will see the saving for each file in the window - if you are quick!
    I publish my websites to Mobile Me to test them and then optimize and upload them to a commercial server. The difference in download time is noticeable.
    Where WSM really scores is when trying to get your website to load in IE - the World's Worst Browser.
    Pages that hang and lock up IE will usually load after optimizing.
    I have had the band of missing background occasionally. Usually I would just run the files again and mistakes are corrected - sometimes it takes two or three passes.
    After running the files again I launch the offending page in my browser directly from the WSM output folder (by double clicking the .html file) so that I can check it before uploading again.

  • IWeb site registered but not showing up in Google

    I've registered my iweb site through google's webmaster tools using DNS since my domain name is registered through go daddy. I've also got an account for it on google analytics using iWeb SEO but when i search google for my site, nothing shows up. I've even typed my website in verbatim and I still get nothing.
    is there something else I need to do to get my site listed? I've started adding title tags and meta data to my most important pages (home and blog) to see if that would help. When I had my blog on wordpress and verified it through google webmaster it showed up the next day in search and i didn't even have to do any of the SEO like meta data.
    I feel like i've missed a step, or maybe iweb is not as easily indexed?
    HELP!

    Further information regarding the details would be helpful. However, if the site is unreachable it may be due to a known issue between GoDaddy and MobileMe. I spoke with tech support today regarding a similar issue with a iweb account that I have a DNS for through GoDaddy. The issue is being looked at by the support team and hopefully will be resolved quickly, but it I was advised that the issue appears to be from attacks on the iweb side which require the DNS address to be taken offline temporarily.

  • Trying to embed images from my iWeb site

    Sorry if this has been asked before but I did a search and could not find any answers.
    I upgraded from iLife 06 to 08 and managed to get a seamless transition of my iWeb site. The only problem now is that I seem unable to embed images from my site into other web pages on other sites. It used to be a case of copying and pasting the image address into the other web page. Now however it comes up with a very different looking image address that no longer ends with .jpg(jpeg) I have tried adding the .jpg to the end of the address without any success. Am I simply missing the obvious or is this feature no longer available?
    Thanks for any help

    Disable slideshow or not won't effect the way javascript render photos page images into canvas and anchor links.
    But, You can:
    1) get Safari 3.1.1, and turn on Develop menu. Safari -> Preferences... -> Advanced -> Show Develop menu in menu bar (bottom item). This allows you to see all the elements in the page.
    2) get Firefox, FF has DOM Inspector and Page Info.
    With the above, you will have to wade thru the info and fish out the links. or,
    3) using script to do the heavy lifting (scripting is your friends), there two free scripting languages: AppleScript and JavaScript in every mac.
    Combine the two and with understanding of iweb and DOM and you have the ultimate tools for iweb developing, here is the result of your first three links (I have all of them, but just post three here):

  • Iweb sites in app has disappeared

    Hi,
    My iweb pages in the actual application have disappeared. Apparently they are still on my iDisk, but when I open the up iweb application, it's showing NOTHING, as if I never made any websites. Is there anyway to get this back? Can I get them from my iDisk back to the application to edit them?
    It worked fine until our tech guy at school 'fixed' my computer to work with Accelerated Reader. Now, not only does it not work with Accelerated reader, but half of my files are missing/misplaced. Is there ANY way to fix this?
    Thanks so much!
    Lisa

    Lisa:
    The key to your iWeb site is the domain.sites2 file that should reside in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.
    If you don't have a backup copy of that domain.sites2 file you'll have to rebuild your site from scratch. You can use some of the photo and graphic files that you added to your published site to help you rebuild but iWeb can't read published files, only create them. Paragraph 2.6 of this page has some more info: http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebBackupretrieve.html
    I wouldn't let that "tech" guy near my computer again, ever! Had he ever seen a Mac before?

  • Maintaining an iWeb site from multiple machines?

    After a reasonable amount of research I am pretty sure the answer is "no" but here we go...
    I have both a Laptop and a desktop and would like to be able to update and maintain my site from either machine. From the looks of things this isn't as easy as it looks. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

    James,
    I already posted a "thank you" after the next post. I am anxious to try using the Flash Drive with my desktop and laptop.
    I found out the hard way and lost a few entries. I had done my original blog and photo pages on my desktop. I copied all the "Domain" files onto the iDisk and then uploaded them on my laptop. (That took too long!) But everything was working fine. Then I added a couple more pages via the desktop, and forgot to put them on the laptop. I came to Ireland, with the laptop and published several new pages and lo and behold those couple of pages had gone missing!! I realized fairly quickly that I had overwritten those pages.
    Before I go back to the US next week, I am going to load all the "Domain" files onto a flash drive and take it with me and transfer to my desktop. I have to leave the laptop here in Ireland with my husband.
    Could you tell me exactly what I have to copy onto the flash drive? I had the instructions printed up somewhere, but they are not with me now!
    Now another question for you!
    Obviously I have all my .mac information on both of my computers. I will be visiting my daughter's after I return. Can I plug my flash drive into her laptop (an Apple, of course) - log into my .mac account and then add and publish to my iWeb sites? Or are there some other adjustments I have to make to my daughter's iWeb before I can publish to my web site. We all have the same edition of iLife 06 - I had bought a family pack.
    Any advice?!! Thanks

    HI
    I have just spent 3-4 hours trying to work this script out and I did manage it!
    Creating the templates was easy, I just used a second user account and published to folder.
    Running the script was not easy for me I have never used Python before and downloaded stuff and tried many different things before I got it to work.
    In all honesty, I cannot remember what I finally did, I was that pleased to get it working! Although I did miss out creating the thumbnails as part of the script. Luckily I spent yesterday reading Suzanne's website (www.11mystics.com), so I had an idea how to put them in.
    Until there are 'simple' intructions on running this script, I would suggest that anyone who doesn't know Python (like me), either wait for Cyclosaurus (Go on!!) to write a script for it or be prepared to play for a few hours!
    Will

  • Portions of iWeb site not visible

    Hello
    I'm uploading my iWeb site via Cyberduck to A Small Orange
    And occasionally, some elements just don't show up. They load, and I can see them as they are loading, but then they disappear. For example, the book in the background here:
    http://gvkauai.jantonbusch.com/HFHGV_trip%3A_GV_10023_Homepage.html
    What gives? Should I upload with a different program? When I upload, I do a replace all. Should I not?

    For example, the book in the background here:
    Do Safari > Window > Activity. Does the file for the book show up as missing? If not, then any visibility problems are presumably caused by something covering it up rather than any kind of uploading issue.

  • Just wondering: new.improved MobileMe also improving iWeb sites??

    Greetings,
    Just got off MacWorld: seems that Apple has beefed up MobileMe in several ways.
    As i use iWeb (and I am actually fond of it!) and publish to MM via my MM subscription, I do now wonder if finally iWeb created sites might come up faster, especially in other browsers than Safari; I do notice that FFox brings such sites well enough, but as all know, Internet Explorer "chokes" a bit on iWeb created sites. Perhaps too early to tell is improvement took place for iWeb sites along with MM stuff (Gallery, Mail, etc...)
    - Roger T

    It is possible that when I tried Safari4 out yesterday, the Apple servers were busy implementing the changes to MM. So it is possible that the me.sites now load faster too. But the essential trouble with iWeb3 is still continuing. The images that belong to the different posts in my weblog are placed wrongly in the rss feed whenever I add a new post. Sometimes it even mixes up the images in the blog's main index page on my desktop.
    For now what I saw in Safari4 is bling. The Top Sites feature is nothing but a fancy menu bar with favourite sites which I already had. The Develop menu shows that many Apple sites have lots of mistakes in them (yellow triangles and red circles list the mistakes - turn on the develop menu option in preferences to have a look). Actually I don't use Safari that much, though it is the only browser that shows the shadows I added to some images on my sites.
    Safari still misses the add-ons I need (like Rikaichan, a Japanese dictionary) etc.
    Since the arrival of Safari4 people are busy trying to get back some of the old options of S3. So Apple has steamed along without asking the customers, again.

  • Can I have someone optimize my iWeb site and then re-import it?

    I hired someone to optimize my iWeb site put the keywords in the Title, Meta and
    place the keywords in the ALT-tags for the images.
    Is it possible to re-import the edited website back into iWeb 08. I've tried dragging it, but it didn't work, I've tried creating a new site but only have the option of themes. Am I missing something that somebody knows about? I really appreciate some input,
    Also, do you know if there is a better way to optimize these sites inside of iWeb or a separate software program I should use?
