Moving iWeb data from one computer to another

I have an iWeb site on my old mac lap top. I can not get the data to transfer to the new laptop. How do I move all iweb entries from one computer to another?

I would say that if you created pages in iWeb, your ability to do this originated from a basic Domain file, and it is there, in your computer, somewhere. I have seen cases where it appeared as though work that was published to a folder and not 'saved' in the application didn't make it into the Domain file, but I haven't been able to replicate this situation.
Spotlight "Domain", and see what comes up. Also, make sure you are looking in your Home Folder location, not your main HD library.

Moving iWeb site from one computer to another

Hello,
I tried looking for an answer to this, but couldn't find one that was specific to this question.
I have iWeb on my computer at home, but I've created a site on a friends computer (using iWeb) and want to add this recently created site to my computer at home. I know I can copy the Domain file, but if I put that into my iWeb folder at home, won't that overwrite all the sites I've already created?
My question is: is there anyway to add a previously created site on a different computer to my existing roster of sites created on my home computer?
Thanks!
Blair

Hi Blair,
You cannot combine all the sites into one Domain file, and you would not want to do this anyway, even if you could; and yes, if you place the other Domain into the same path on your home machine, you will replace the Domain file that is there now.
What you should do to manage both sites/Domains from the same machine is change the default location of the Domain files to a folder structure, and manage the Domain files from there.
Create a couple of folders and name them, "Home Domain" and "Friend's Domain", for example. Place the Domains inside of these folders, and when you want to work on sites within a specific Domain just open the respective folder and double-click on the Domain file inside. iWeb will open and you will see the sites contained in that Domain as you have always seen them.
You will be able to move back and forth between these Domains created on different machines very easily this way.

Moving iWeb project from one computer to another

Where does iWeb store locally the project?
I'd like to move it off my old computer and onto my new one if possible - thanks!

Hi Edward,

I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library. However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.

I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library. However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.
I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over. Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over? I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another. Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.

I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Transfer iWeb project from one computer to another

I was just wondering if there is any way that you can transfer a iWeb project from one computer to another. I built a website at home on my MacBook and want it on my iMac at work so I can modify it there as well. Can this be done?

Transfer iweb files from one computer to another

Does anyone know how to transfer iweb files from one computer to another?

Change the name of the file to Domain-2.sites2 and try to copy it to the Desktop on the new Mac.
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion 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.
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 compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that 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.
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.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Optionsmenu to bring the this window:

Moving an iWeb project from one computer to another

An iWeb web-site project I have been working on for years needs to be moved from one computer to another. The iWeb project currently resides in iWeb 2 on a G4 iMac running MacOS 10.4.11. I'd like to move it to my MacBook Pro so I have access to iLife 2009. What steps do I need to take to complete the transfer?

Question about moving all iTunes data from one computer to another.

I have a Windows XP. Now I have a windows 7. All of the songs from the XP are available on the new computer via a Z drive. But when I plug my iPod into the new computer it says that it is registered with a different library and asks me if I want to delete all the songs and apps and replace them from the ones on the new library. I don't want that to happen. And all of the apps on the old computer aren't available on the new one. How do I get the apps from one computer to another, and how do I sync my iPod on the new computer without erasing all high scores, app data, songs, and other information? And how do I get a song fro the new computer back to the old one?

This is the way I would normally recommend that you migrate your library from one computer to another.
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
If you have content on the new computer that you want to add to the library on the old one then copy that across via network/memory stick etc. before attempting to migrate the library again.

Copying iweb pages from one computer to another

I have iweb pages operational on a G5.
I want to transfer them to iweb on my macbook instead.
I don't want to re-create them from scratch.
I have a .mac account.
Both iweb programs are the same version.
This is a mac! There must be an easy way to copy the web pages from one computer to another!
I explored the domain file route, copied the file from my G5 to the macbook, and did not get the pages I wanted. Instead I got the start page template. My information was not there.
Any help out there?

All your information is in a single file called "domain"
By default it should be located in your
user/library/application support/iWeb/ folder.
Find it, copy it, and move it to the new computer.
The first time you use it on the new computer double click the newly moved "domain" file to start up the iWeb application. Once you do that iWeb will remember that that is the file to open on start-up.
I use multiple computers to edit iWeb and to avoid confusion as to which "domain" file is the most recent, I just keep it on a flash drive. Be sure to keep "domain" backed up safely on your computers and off (CD disks, external hard drives, etc) because if you lose that one file, you've lost all your work. iWeb cannot edit published pages.
The reason you got blank pages is that you have to double click on the newly moved "domain" file to start up iWeb. Otherwise iWeb will start from the blank "domain" file that is already on the computer. You can have many "domain" files on the computer, If you start the iWeb application by clicking the iWeb icon, it will open the last "domain" file edited on that computer, which isn't the one you just moved. There is no other way to access your work.

Moving Movie Rentals from one computer to another

Is there a way to transfer an iTunes movie rental from one computer to another. I purchased it on one laptop but wish to play the movie on another laptop. It does not show up in the list on the other computer even though it is a shared laptop

Sorry, but transferring a rental from one computer to another is not possible, at least not directly. It might be possible by transferring the rental to an iPod/iPhone and then transferring back to the second computer, though I don't know for sure.

When moving my iphone from one computer to another, the apps do not follow and if I purchase an app on the new computer, it seems that all previous apps on the iphone will be lost How do I import the previous apps to the new computer?

When moving my iphone from one itunes computer to another, the apps installed on the original computer do not show on the new one. How do I get those apps to be recognized on the new computer without deleting them all from my iphone as it asks.

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Importing iWeb files from one computer to another

I have created a new website on my laptop and have my other sites on my desktop and want to transfer the site on my laptop to my desktop. I don't see where we can import files from one computer's files to another computer's files. Is there a way to do this?

Mark:
You can copy the domain.sites2 file from the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on your laptop to the Desktop of your desktop Mac, rename it to something like "site name.sites2", and put it in the iWeb folder with your other domain.sites2 file.
If you want to merge the sites in the two domain files into one new domain file you can do so with iWebSites.

Moving iphone sync from one computer to another

Hi everyone,
I am about to switch from one laptop to another & would like to start syncing my iphone 4 on the new laptop. How do I do the transfer? I tried once and the iphone will sync any apps from the laptop to the iphone (none at the moment so it would erase all apps on the iphone) but not the other way round. Once again, I dont want to sync to both laptops, I just want to switch from one laptop to another one. For example, what happens if your laptop stops working, you cant sync/backup your iphone to another/new laptop?
Thanks

I have re-authorised my computer, but not synced yet.
All Mozy did was to copy everything under C:\Users\Mark Moss\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music, to a backup folder of the same name on mozy.com. So when I restored my hard drive's data, the iTunes was put back.
Under C:\Users\Mark Moss\Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications on my (repaired) laptop, I now don't have any mobile apps listed (I guess I'd forgotten to back those up but in any case they're on my iPhone) so I'm concerned that if I replace my iPhone, I'll lose the apps, which I want to avoid.

Transferring all data from one computer to another

Hi,
I have an iMac and a Macbook Pro - I would like to completely switch the data on the two computers. In other words, I'd like to put everything that is on my macbook on the iMac, and vise versa. I have backed both computers up using Time Machine, but I'm not sure what the best way is to do the swapover. Any ideas? I want to do more than just add the data from one to another, I want to completely wipe out the imac and install the macbook data on it, and completely wipe out the macbook and install the iMac data. Any ideas?

What I would do is to move all the apps music and other media to the new cmputer. Make sure the computer is authorized for the iTunes account(s) and iTunes logged into the progler account. Then connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Restore the iPod from that backup.

HT203167 Moved iTunes library from one computer to another using external hard drive. Cannot play many files. Says they are missing but locates them in an archive file but still won't play them. Are the files themselves part of the .itl files?

Moved iTunes library from old computer (PC Windows 7) to new (PC Window 8) using external hard drive. Library listing shows all music but can only play a fraction of it. On the ones it cannot play it asks to locate, then refers to an archived version (an .itl file), and still cannot play them. Do I just need to copy the archived .itl over, or is that not where the actual media are (do the actual media files even exist on the new computer?)? Any advice or information on this would be helpful.

*Also...is there any way I can filter out all the tracks with the ! so I can delete the unplaying copies as they're taking up room in my iTunes? I know how to find duplicates, but then I have to go and delete each one individually...*
*Thank you!*
