Move iWeb site from iBook to iMac

I've created an iWeb site on my iBook and would like to transfer it to iWeb on my iMac...How do iDo this?

TreySaskia,
Your site on your iBook lives in a file called 'Domain', found in your Home folder Library:
Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain
Duplicate this Domain file (Command+D) and transfer it to your iMac; placing it on a usb flash drive is a popular method as you can just double-click on the file after mounting the drive and iWeb, in either machine, will open it and you can access, edit, and publish changes to your site. You could use an external hard drive also. Remember to rename the file 'Domain' from 'Domain copy' after duplicating it.
Hope this helps out.

Move iWeb sites from SL to Mountain Lion

Hi All, now that I have finally (reluctantly) decided to move to ML I need to move all of my old iWeb sites from my SL disk. Can anyone tell me how please

To use iWeb on your new Mountain Lion system, you will need to move both your iWeb application as well as the website database itself. Here is where each item is located...
iWeb Application is located in "/Applications".
iWeb website database is located in "~/Libarary/Application Support/iWeb". There is a file in here called "Domain". This is your actual database used by iWeb.
Move both of these files into the exact same locations on your new Mountain Lion system. If need be create folders in your user Library to drop the "Domain" file into. Mountain Lion hides your Library folder, but you can get to it by opening Finder, holding the "option" button down, and clicking "Go" in the menu bar up top. You will see a "Library" option appear in the menu that drops down.
Hope this helps.

Move iweb site from one computer to different computer?

I have 2 web sites through iWeb on my macbook pro, one mine and one my daughter's. She made hres while we were on vacation (using my laptop). Now that we are home I'd like to move hers to her iMac computer. Is that something easy? I cannot risk losing my site. I suspect there are a million hidden files that will prevent me from doing this?
thanks
roger

What is in the folder within my iDisk->Web->Sites? Is this back-up of my folder you originally directed me to?
NO!! Your iWeb site is not backed up on your iDisk, what you are looking at here is your website, once published by iWeb.
As with all other data, you should backup the iWeb domain file as part of your regular backup schedule.
Unless it has been changed, the .mac backup does not automatically backup your domain file.

iWeb stores the data in a Domain.sites2 file whose default location is shown here...

Hello hello,
I need to change my iweb site from one mac to another, please can any one help?
thank you, Joanne

Picture :
In Lion the Library folder is hidden. It's mentioned almost daily in this forum.
This page with movie explains how to display that folder and shows how to move domain files around with iWebSites.

I'm sure our resident technology experts and iWeb aces will repeat the same answer.

IWeb site from second Mac

I have been messing about building another IWeb site on my old G4. If I rename the domain can I just transfer the second domain onto my iMac and run both sites from there. If so how will I be able to open them individually
Mike

Mike:
First, if you want to manage the sites from two computers without having to move the domain file(s) manually back and forth between Macs every time you make a change see Toad's Tutorial #20- Managing an iWeb Site From Two or More Macs with Dropbox-.
As long as you down try to work on the site from both computers at the same time (those with split or multiple personalities ) there's no problem.
Now for publishing each individually I use iWebSites to manage over 40 individual 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 original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process and move it to another location on your HD until you're satisfied the separation process is completed and what you want.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

Merge iweb sites from multiple user accounts on same computer

With the previous iweb version, my children created their own iweb sites on their own users, but all under my own .mac account. It worked great.
But now with the new "upgraded" iweb '08, that isn't allowed anymore.
So, I created a new user on our computer for all of us to use to maintain our multiple iweb accounts on.
How can I move multiple iweb sites from multiple users on the same computer into one user?

Each of the user's work in iWeb will be contained in a single file, Domain.sites2, which can be found in this location on the hard drive for each user account. You will need to copy all of these Domain.sites2 files to an external drive, or, at the very least, burn them to a disk to make them transferable from one user account to another. A flash drive also works great for this.
Once you have made all of these Domain files accessible from the new user account that you created, you will still have a formidable task ahead of you, i.e., publishing separate sites, from separate Domain.sites2 files, to the same .Mac account/directory. In other words, bringing all of these Domain files together for access by a single user account will not solve the problem. You may very well be able to solve the problem with things the way they are, but it will involve some shuffling of Site's files on the iDisk prior to publishing.
The method I'm going to give you has worked well for me. So far, here in the forums, I've read posts from (2) other users who were also successful. Conversely, I know of at least (3) other users who have been unsuccessful with this approach. I sure hope it works for you.
Open System Preferences and go to .Mac. Turn syncing off, if it is on, and leave it off.
Now, in Finder, navigate to the current Site files on your iDisk, following this path:
Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/NameOfSiteFolder
Drag the Site folder that is named for your site, (not the directory Site folder), back one level on the iDisk, into the Web folder. This is where some run into difficulties--you may get an error message that the folder is "in use, and cannot be moved". I have never gotten this message, and am able to move my Site's folders around with no problem on the iDisk.
If you are successful moving the folder, choose one of your other accounts on your machine, launch iWeb, and Publish all to .Mac. The existing site on the server will not be deleted. Now, go back to the iDisk and move that site folder, (the one you just published), back one level, again, to the root Web directory. Publish your next site, from your next account.
When you are finished publishing sites, just move the Site folders back to their original location on the iDisk--Web/Sites/SiteFoldersHere. All sites will be accessible from a browser using the web.mac.com/username/nameofsite url.
It is important to use the Publish all to .Mac command in iWeb. A simple Publish to .Mac command will not put the correct index.html file in place on the server.
Post back and inform us of your success.

Updated iWeb site from 06 to 08 - but counter reset to 0

Hi,
Many thanks in advance for your attention.
Updated iWeb site from iWeb 06 to iWeb 08.
Counter for website reset to 0.
Any way to retrieve old site's counter setting?
Thank you,
- Ross

Hi xharris,
1) Have a look at the following page about transferring the website from one computer to the other
http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWebTransferSite.html
(also read Note 1 of that page!)
2) Be sure to update iWeb '08 to the latest version (2.0.3). Then double-click the domain file you transferred and iWeb will launch and prompt you to update the domain file to version 2.
The problems some people experience are that some objects might move and not be in the right place anymore or things like that. Just have a look at it once you opened it in iweb '08 before publishing it to the web.
Also make a Backup of the Domain file before- after- you updated and from time to time

Transferring iweb site from 1 mobileme account to another

i need to transfer my iweb site from one mobile me account to another, but i dont want to buy it in HOPES that i can do it. I want to make sure i actually can.
anybody have experience in this?

Everything you made in iWeb is stored in a file on your hard disk.
You can find this file in it's default location.
../Yourusername/Library/Application Support/iWeb, the name of the file is Domain.sites2
You can freely copy/move this file to an other computer or an other user on the same computer with the other MobileMe account.
If you want to keep everything "as is" on your computer in iWeb and only want to change the MobileMe account: open System Preferences / tab MobileMe / 'log out' and 'log in' with the other account.
Kind regards,

Move a site from one Mac to another without losing sites already there

I would like to move a site from one Mac to another without losing the websites that I have already built on the other Mac. Transfering the Domain file is not helping. Is there away to open the new domain file and adding those sites to the domain file associated with this copy of iWeb? I have searched the discussions but am not seeing any clear answers. They all seam to invilve new users or losing the sites already on that mac.

I seem to have solved my own problem. This may help other users. I found a tip and a web page that suggested moving the Domain File from the application support folder to another on the desktop on one of the computers and then putting the 2nd Domain File from the other computer in a separate folder on the desktop. This is because you can not change the name of the Domain File . Then by double clicking the Domain File with the site wanted, iWeb opens with that set of sites.
I started with what was to be the new master Domain File and stated a new site with a blank page. saved, did not publish and closed iWeb. Opened from the other Domain File and then clicked and opened the site and page I wanted, then selected all, copied all and closed iweb. Went back to the master Domain File , opened iWeb using that, went to the blank page and pasted in the page from the other Domain File from the other computer. Saved, closed iWeb and repeated till I had all pages. Changed the names to match the sites and Pages. I did not allow iWeb to publish during this process. Took all of 10 minutes and I now have a Domain File with all the sites in one place. I then copied this file back into its original location in Library/application support/iWeb on both computers. I now have all sites in iWeb on both computers.

HT5772 how can i delete books from ibooks on iMac

how can i delete books from ibooks on imac?

That doesn't work. It only allows you to delete your local copy but keeps the book in your library. The instructions on Apple's site are also incorrect. They suggest going to iTunes and selecting Books from the Library menu, but there is no Books option under that menu in the current version.
Anyone at Apple listening?

Working one iWeb site from two Macs

I have two Macs, and use my desktop for working at home, and my laptop for working away, or when on holiday for working with photographs and, hopefully, blogs. I set up my iWeb site initially using the desktop, and then tried to edit the site using my laptop, only to find that it cannot, seemingly, be done.
Help! Does anyone know how to edit one iWeb site from two machines, or is there, perhaps, a practicable workaround?
G4 laptop +G4 desktop Mac OS X (10.4.5)
G4 laptop +G4 desktop Mac OS X (10.4.5)
G4 laptop +G4 desktop Mac OS X (10.4.5)

The answer is Domain.sites (extension hidden by default). You'll find this on your desktop machine at Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Copy that file to removable media and drag it to the same location on your laptop. Launch iWeb and you'll see your desktop site structure in the Site Organizer.
Once you keep the Domain package in sync between the two machines everything will work smoothly no matter which you use. There's a neat tip here which may help in this respect:

Hosting Your iWeb Site From Your Mac

If you don't have a .Mac account or you don't want to pay a monthly fee to host your new website you created with iWeb, you can use OS X's built-in Apache Web server. To accomplish this, follow the steps in the link below.

I was able to get this to work, using the same configuration you mention. The way I did it was to set up the IP address on my LAN using fixed static addresses, and to have the router "forward" the http packets to the Mac running Apache. In Network system preferences panel, you also need to set the DNS servers address to the address of the router on the LAN. In order to reduce hackers trying to break in, I don't use the standard port 80 for my address, but use some other 4-digit port (e.g., 8182), so my website address ends up looking like www.whatever:8182. Instead of "no-IP.com" I used the free dynamic name service from http://www.dyndns.com/. I also put the web content on a firewire disk, which requires a little editing of the httpd.conf file. This was another security precaution. Anyhow, its been working great -- not a single problem. Also, Weblock is great shareware that lets you assign login IDs on the web folders.

Changing my iWeb site from another computer

Hi,
So I built my iweb site from my laptop. What do I need to do so I can make changes from and save it to my G5?

What do I need to do so I can make changes from and save it to my G5?
Ty, easily done. Just transfer your Domain.sites file following these instructions. The only difference is you are going from laptop to desktop machine.
