  • IWeb - Moving iweb site from one mac to another mac.

    Hi,
    I am using iWeb 08 and would like to move the iWeb site that was created on one mac to another mac to continue editing on the other mac. Any one now how to do this.
    Thanks

    Hi Tsofa,
    You need to locate and copy the Domain.site2 file which iWeb creates.
    By default this is usually located in User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
    You can copy this to any location on the other mac. As long as you use this file to start iWeb, it will recognise it as your default.
    If you want to create a new one, but still keep the old, just rename the file and start iWeb, which will generate a new Domain.sites2 file

  • Moving my iweb site to another mac

    Is it possible to move my iweb site from one mac to another? If so how do I do it?
    Thanks,

    Lucy,
    iWebSites is a beta application capable of merging separate Domain files. It gets good reviews in this forum.
    You will not overwrite one Domain file with another unless you intentionally replace a Domain file with another, just like any like-named file. Keep your Domain files in their own folders, folders that are named for the sites the respective Domain files contain. Open the Domain file/Site of your choice by first opening it's folder and then double-clicking on the Domain file inside.

  • Transfer of domain created in iweb to a new Mac running OS X Lion 10.7.4.  Files not present.

    I'm moving a domain created in iweb to a new Mac running OS X Lion 10.7.4.  I transferred the domin files via a thumb drive and I can see that the domain contents are present on the new computer.  However, when I double click, iweb opens and the domain files are not there.  I have also tried dropping the domain files into iweb via Library/Application Support/iweb.  Same thing happens when opening from there.  Thank you!

    I'm a little unclear on what you have done, but the entire contents of your iWeb site should be in the Domain.sites2 file in ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb.  (Note that tilde ['~'] character, it's important!  That means that we're talking about the Library folder in the user folder, not the one at the root level of the hard drive.)
    In order to use that file on a different machine, you must take that entire file and put it in the same folder on the new machine.  Be sure you are putting it in the correct Library folder!  If you put it in the wrong place, iWeb will not see it, and will open as if you haven't created any sites yet.
    If you're having trouble getting to that folder (since Lion makes the user Library folder invisible), hold down the option key while choosing Library from the Finder's Go menu.  That will open a new window showing the contents of the user Library folder.

  • 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.

  • Moving iweb site from one comuper to another

    I just brought a new imac, i have been using my powerbook to work on my site, bu tnow i want to be able to work on my site on the imac as well. but i don;t know how to transfer my pages to the new computer? help please anyone

    There is only one file that you need to move from your PowerBook to your new mac....it is named "Domain". You can find it on your hard drive in the /Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ folder.
    1. Launch iWeb on the new mac at least once, then quit. This should create the default folder pathway and a blank Domain file.
    2. Copy the Domain file from your PowerBook to the new mac and replace the preexisting Domain file in the same folder pathway as the original.
    3. Launch iWeb and you should see your sites.

  • My URL has been duplicated since moving my site from another Mac

    When I originally made my company site it was just a normal www.website.com and thats how it appeared in the address bar.  I then moved the site to another Mac (cant quite remember the steps I used) and did some updates to it and republished it and now it appears as www.website.com/WebSite.com/Home.html.  Nothing has changed with my hosting company or anything like that.  It literally changed just from moving it to anoter computer which is why I suspect that something happened with the folders or something with iWeb.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You want to have your cake and eat it too?
    Well, you have to choose. Do it the iWeb way, the situation you have now, or your way, publish to a folder and upload the content of that folder to the server.
    As it was before.
    You can't have both.
    BUT.
    As always, there still is a way to eat the cake.
    Read this :
    http://blog.wyodor.net/2011/08/avoiding-then-iweb-sitename-in-url.html
    It works. I know, I baked the cake.
    You choose.

  • Synch published site with new Mac mini

    I recently created a web site in iWeb and published to .Mac. I recently switched from the PPC mini to the Duo Core. How do I get the Website back into iWeb if I don't have access to the files on the old mini any longer? Am I out of luck? Thanks.

    Hi MrMacNewbie
    If you kept a copy of your home folder then you should be ok, if not this is the specific file that you need:
    User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites
    The domain file contains everything, if you dont have it, then sorry to say that its back to square one
    You can of course copy/paste from your published sites and the files in .mac....
    To install the domain file (If you still have it), launch iWeb on the new Mac, this creates preference files and a new domain file, and the /iWeb folder.
    Then quit iweb, navigate to User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites and traash the new empty file and replace with your old one. Now launch iWeb, and hopefully you will see your old site

  • Transfer iweb site from old mac to new mac

    I was wondering if anyone knows how to transfer my iweb site from my old mac to a new one. I'm still using both computers.
    Thank you for your help.

    transfer the "domain" file located in your user library/application support/Iweb.
    That contains the entire site.
    Also one should always maintain a backup of the file. If it's lost your back to square one.

  • Moving iweb site to my new computer?

    I just bought a new macbook pro. I am attempting to move my iweb domain to the macbook. I backed up the domain on my old computer (imacG5) to my idisk. I burned all the files onto a dvd. I want to move these files (five sites) into the domain file on my macbook pro. I am sitting here like a moron looking at the files; I've read th e posts that say to copy my domain to the new computer, but my domain is a big package of files and I am not sure how to "copy" them so they will open on my new computer.
    Thanks for any help!
    John Fitz

    The Domain file should appear as a single file (though it is a "package" of files like you mention). Copying it to your new MacBookPro should be as easy as drag and drop. I would put it into the same default location as you found it...on your hard drive..../Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/iWeb/... Drop it in this folder and if you are asked to overwrite and existing Domain file, this should be okay as long as you have not already started a new site on your new MacBook Pro.
    Once you have this file copied over, you should be able to open iWeb on the new computer and see all your sites in the Site Organizer. Again, so that there is no confusion, the file that you need is called "Domain". Let me know if you have any trouble.
    If you have found any of this information to be useful to you, please take the time to provide me with feedback by marking my reply as "solved" or "helpful" using those little buttons that you see in the title bar of this reply. I'd really appreciate it!

  • 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

    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.

  • Transfer iweb site to another mac

    My hard drive broke and now I have a new one installed. I would like to download/manage my iweb-mobileme site from this new hard drive. How can I sync the new disc with my mobileme?

    tragicoptimist wrote:
    How can I sync the new disc with my mobileme?
    You can't sync your published iWeb site from MobileMe back to a new disk. Only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
    Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb.
    You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.
    See also this Apple doc: _iWeb: Backing up your Domain file_
    Paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

  • Move my Iweb site in two Macs

    Hi,
    I've two Macs, i would copy my Sites in both Macs.
    It's Possible ?
    And in which way ?
    Thanks Fabio

    Are you looking in the correct Library folder? The one you want is:
    Click to view full size
    If you still don't have an iWeb folder then you've never run iiWeb on that computer. 
    Another method you can use is to download  Find Any File and use it to search for "domain.site".  FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't, even invisible folders.
    In Lion the Home/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.
