Move iweb site to new account

I created an iweb site for my employer using my personal mobile me account. I would like to create a seperate account for the business and move the website to that new account.
With the transfer of the hosting of the site (re:cloud) I want to seperate my employers business from my personal account.
Thanks!

You will need to purchase a domain name and hosting service for the business account. Since MobileMe is going away after June 30th, it would be best to start from scratch with a new host and domain name.

Old iWeb Domain Document, New Account New Computer

I've done this before but that was pre-Mavericks.
I got a new computer, recovered my old data from a Time Machine backup which created a new user account on the new computer. I installd iWeb and could upgrade to version 3.0.4. Maybe not the newest but it's what was available.
I wanted to get to my webpages in the new account so I went to get the Domain File and transfer it to the new account. I did this before when a separate computer needed to updata a different website I had made for him.
Anyway, there is no longer an iWeb folder in Application Support in my Library.
Where is the file I need to move, and to where do I move it so I can open iWeb in my new account and update my webpages?
Thanks

Here's a similar question by you, two years ago.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3025188
When you open iWeb for the first time it creates a folder and a domain file.
Before you do that, you can also create the folder yourself and put the domain file in it. The one you either copied from another machine or recovered from Time Machine.
In the latter case, Time Machine most likely creates the folder too.

Transfer iWeb site to new user

I designed a site on one .mac account and want to move it to another .mac account I run so that the URL is different. I've set up another user on my computer so iWeb will upload to the appropriate .mac account, but... how do I import the previous iWeb-designed data over to my new user? I've tried dropping the User/username/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain file into the new username (same location) but when I try to upload it says "You don't have permission to make changes to that file".

when I
try to upload it says "You don't have permission to
make changes to that file".
What exactly does the "upload" mean here? When you try to publish?

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...

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.

How do I transfer iweb site to new macbook pro?

I used migration assistant to transfer from old macbook to new macbook pro. Both are using lion. When I open iWeb on the new computer it does not show my site. Both computers are connected by firewire, where do I find the files? This site is not published to mobile me, it is hosted by godaddy.
thanks
Joe

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder. Once you've unhidden the library it's a simple matter of copying the domain file from your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on the old Mac to the same folder on the new one. You may have to create an iWeb folder on the new Mac if there is not one.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

HT4436 originally my kids used my apple account, now they want there own. Can they keep there photos and music and move it to a new account?

I want to create a new account and transfer my photos and music to the new account. How can I do that?

Your talking about the famous AppleID divorce
There is no way to "move" music, apps, or photostreams between iCloud/AppleID accounts easily, but there are some ways to maybe salvage everything they want and get it to their individual devices. I'm going to assume that each has an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, and that you all have one or more computers with iTunes (macs or PC's, shouldn't matter).
In any case, this isn't likely to be a quick fix for you, so clear a couple of hours in the evening and grab a beverage of your choice. Here are a few ways to manage the divorce:
Separate iCloud (ie, contacts, calendars, etc) accounts for each person, Shared iTunes Music/Apps:
This approach allows each person to have their own device backups, plus their own address books, calendars, etc, and it allows everyone to share the apps and music that has been and will be purchased. This will also mean each has their own photostreams as well. With calendars and photostreams, you can create "shared" versions of each so you and they can collectively contribute and modify the calendar, and can collectively contribute to a shared photostream.
The great benefit to this approach is that all of the music and apps that have been purchased will continue to be available on all of the devices.
The disadvantage is that with the shared iTunes account, everybody is sharing everybody else's gift cards and/or money that is in the account. Monitoring it is a manual process.
To setup this scenario:
Create a new iCloud account (ie, new AppleID's) for everyone, including yourself.
In the iCloud settings on each mobile device use the new iCloud account (ie, AppleID) for that person.
Use those same iCloud credentials for the iCloud settings in each person's account on the computer. (Note that if you do NOT use separate accounts for each person on the computer, this method will not work for synching the iCloud stuff, just the iTunes stuff. I highly recommend you create user accounts on the computer for each person).
On your mobile devices, in the iTunes and App Store settings continue to use the "original" AppleID under which all of the music and apps were purchased.
In iTunes for each user account on the computer, continue to use the "original" Apple ID, just like on the mobile devices.
For each person's photos that they wish to keep, make sure that they are currently in the mobile device's camera roll (just as Winston suggested).
Now the device's and computer user accounts are all setup. When the mobile device's are synched to user's (or the common) iTunes app, all of the music and apps will stay, and all of the photos that were previously in each user's camera roll will still be there.
Separate iTunes Accounts, Shared iCloud Account
This approach allows each person to have their own iTunes account for music and apps, but will keep all of the iCloud stuff (like contacts and calendars and photostreams) identical accross everybody's devices. This is particularly useful if the kids get their own gift cards and are not amenable to sharing with their family and you want to continue to have identical address books, calendars, and photostreams.
The main drawback to this approach is that it is possible that each individual will lose access to some music and all purchased apps. That will depend highly upon when the music was purchased. ie, was it purchased before or after Apple went to a digital rights management (DRM) free model for music. All purchased apps will technically be lost, but sometimes its still possible to "keep" those apps via iTunes and your device will continually and annoyingly ask you for the credentials (ie, the original AppleID) under which the app was purchased.
Another drawback is that the free iCloud storage account is likely to be enough to backup all of your devices (if you have more than 1). Therefore, you will likely have to purchase a larger iCloud storage plan.
To setup this scenario:
Create a new AppleID for each person for use in the iTunes Music/App store. Remember to keep your original AppleID that was used for all of the purchases to date.
On each mobile device, in the iTunes and App Store settings input the new AppleID for each user. On one of the devices (you'll have to figure out on which one it makes the most sense), continue to use the original AppleID.
In the iCloud settings for each device (and the computer accounts), continue to use the original AppleID.
Now you must setup new iTunes databases on the computer for each seperate user. The only way to do this is to have each user have a seperate account on the computer (again, mac or PC, doesn't matter).
In each user's iTunes app on the computer, input the iTunes store credentials that match his/her mobile device that you setup in step 2 above.
On the computer, move all of the music that each person cares about into his/her separate iTunes database (ie, import the music into iTunes by whatever method you choose). The exact method for this is dependent upon whether its windows or mac, but basically, find the actual music files on the hard drive, and then import each of them into iTunes for each user. You want each user to setup their "new" music database on the computer. This is what the mobile device will synch against.
Once complete, synch each mobile device with each user's respective iTunes app. You MUST use separate iTunes databases at this point.
If all of the music was purchased post-DRM (or is DRM-free for whatever reason), then this method will result in each user having all of the music that he/she wishes. However, if some of the music has DRM, then your success here will be a crapshoot.
Photostreams should all continue to be shared and collective since they are attached to the common iCloud account, not iTunes.
Separate iTunes Music/App Account, Separate iCloud
This is the ultimate in "every man for himself". The advantage is the each person has their own free iCloud features (including the all-important backup) and each has their own iTunes account.
The disadvantage is the same as "Common iCloud, Separate iTunes" approach: individuals may lose access to already purchased music and apps. The photostreams will also be broken apart, although you can setup shared photostreams for the future.
To setup this up:
Create new iCloud/AppleID accounts for each person (except for the original user).
In each person's mobile device, use their new AppleID for both iCloud and iTunes Music and App stores. One person keeps the original AppleID and continues to use it.
Follow the steps above for creating new music databases in each user's account on the computer.
Synch each user's mobile device with their respective iTunes database.
OK, that's what i have for you at this point. I'm happy to answer further questions on this and help you figure out how to do what you want to do.
Thanks

If i create a new itunes account can i transfer my songs, games, movies, etc. to my new account

If I create a new account can I transfer all of my songs, games, movies etc. to the new one?

I know this is an old post, but I'm in a similar situation. I'm going to college this fall and I would like to have my own account going into my future. I'm under my mom's account because that is how I first started out with my ipod a few years ago. I don't want to be under my mom's account forever so this is a reason I want a new account while still keeping all the songs I've bought over the years.

I want people to be able to download videos from my iweb site. New to this...how can I do this?

I made an iweb site but used "gallery" for videos that people could download. Now "gallery" is going to disappear but I want people still to be able to download my videos if I choose. I thought I would put this option on my iweb site but don't know how to do it? Any suggestions.

Create a zip of your movie files - Finder/File/Compress - and upload them to a folder on the server.
Create a text or image hyperlink to each one and the file will download when clicked...

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

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.

Old iweb site into new iweb?

Recently had to redo my computer. My iweb site is out there on mobile me and I downloaded the folder. I can't figure out how to set it up so iweb will open this site so I can update it...

Unless you have the domain file that was used to create your site you will have to rebuild it from scratch. iWeb can't read/import html file. However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the creation of the new site.

I'd like to publish an iWeb site within iCloud account. How do we do this please?

I'd like to publish an iWeb site within my iCloud account. How do I do this please?

To publish your website you need to choose a hosting service. Here are some some pointers about what to look for...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Website-Hosting.html
Most hosting services will also offer you at least on free domain name registration.
Since you are using iWeb '08 you will need to publish to a local folder and upload the files using an FTP application...

How can I still edit my iWeb site on new iMac

My mid 2007 24" iMac which has served me well has memory problems. I now work with much larger projects ( Logic Studio + video ) than earlier, and have to continually keep clearing the memory as I work. I have the maximum 4 GB RAM ).
This is halting progress so seriously that I'm considering changing it for a new iMac .... 27".
My question is: How can I still edit my iWeb site on a new iMac, when iLife is no longer included, and so presumably OS 10.7 doesn't support iWeb ?
Will be grateful for insights.
Thanks,
SeaDream.

Well thanks. Sounds so complicated, though. Would another option be to backup my present Mac HD ( with Snow Leopard ) to an external HD and simply edit iWeb from there ?
As long as I also backed up this external HD, would this be a possibility ?
