Moving website from published folders back to iWeb

I am currently working on a number of websites however when I went to publish one website to .mac it has put other websites in to a published folder. How do I move the works in progress websites from the published folders back to iWeb to continue working on them??

Hi,
unfortunately there is no way to get html files (published files/pages) back into iWeb to edit them. To be edited in iWeb a site needs to be in the domain file (where iWeb stores its data).
http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWebRetrieveWebsite.html
To manage more than one website they all need to be in the same domain file (showing up in iWeb at the same time) or you need have multiple domain files (not showing up all at the same time). You can't publish to folder, delete the site from iWeb, make a new one and get the one you deleted and published to a folder back in.

How do I import a iWeb published folder back into iWeb

Hi,
I just upgraded to Leopard and cant seem to bring my iWeb published site back into iWeb. Any ideas? TIA!
-=Bill=-

I have the same problem, after installing OS X 10.5. Where did iWeb go? Is it not included in Leopard? After the install I could not find the iWeb anymore. I have my site up on .mac and I have them in iDisk but I can not get them back to iWeb. Where is the files saved for the iWeb, there must be a way to get them back no??? I am not able to update my website, it feels ****!!!!!

Restoring iWeb /domain from Published Folders

Had a lightning strike and fried both my internal harddrive and my backup drive. Still 'might' be able to recover data from the external, but I'm looking for a work-around just in case.
Is there a way in iWeb (or using a 3rd party app) to convert published pages/folders back into something that iWeb can work with? I've read some older posts and it appears not, but thought maybe someone may have discovered a trick recently. Remaking them manually will be difficult, since the pages I created have many template modifications.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd be glad to hear them. If not I may give up on iWeb altogether, and switch over to Dreamweaver permanently.

Welcome to the discussions. A good reason to have iWeb Domain file backups offsite and/or on DVDs.

It's not possible in iWeb and it's hard to imagine someone ever coming up with a 3rd party app to do that. You've probably already seen section 2.3 of this FAQ page which gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

Is there anyway to bring a published folder back into iWeb 08?

I published my old site to a folder for safe keeping.
I would like to bring it back to iWeb 08's design interface/application so I can work on it some more. Is there any way to do that?
Thanks.

Thank you for the prompt reply - I shall now go into a darkened studio and scream for a short while. I think that iWebsites overwrote the Domain file with a page I was trying to get rid of that is stuck on My Pages on my .Mac homepage, so everything else disappeared for ever. I have been trying to copy and paste from the folder I have into iWeb but it ain't going to work, I suspect. No alternative but to start from scratch, just using the folder as a design reference. Presumably website software such as Softpress' Freeway can import from an existing folder?

My computer is down, can I import my web folders back into iweb

I downloaded my index.html and the folder with all the content in it back to my desktop on another computer. How can I get my iweb site back up on line in Iweb 08 using these two folders. I don't have a copy of my domain sites files. Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Unfortunately no. iWeb does not have the capability of importing previously published files. However, Chapter 2.3 of the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing image, audio and/or video files in the published site in the reconstruction of the site.
Might be time to consider a backup strategy and an external HD. At the very least you could use a flash drive and backup the domain file there after each use along with some other of your most important files.

Moving website from old Mac to new Mac

Hello, I have read a few of the discussions and I am sure that the reply to this question is in there somewhere but thought maybe someone could answer me directly as I didn't understand some of the other discussions.
My husband took our old macbook pro with him on business for 3 months and I had designed two websites on it. We only paid for one .mac account and on one of the websites we paid to have a domain name (www.heliwagon.com) if that matters.
So my question is how do I get those websites on my new mac so I can edit and work on them. I read in the other discussions about getting them on a thumbdrive and copying them to this computer but that isn't an option as I am not able to get to his computer for months. I also read about signing out and logging in as him but there is only one account set up on this new one and it's me....maybe I missed what they were saying on that one but hopefully someone can step me through it as I am a new mac user and need all the little steps.
Thanks in advance for any helpful hints.

Yes, that is exactly it. If you don't have a copy of the domain.sites file from his computer then there is nothing that you can do. You need the domain file to be able to make any alteration to your sites.
If you go into iWeb on your new computer, as you have found, unless there is a previous domain file with a site in it, then yes, iWeb will ask you to create a new site.
You will either have to wait until your husband returns to make the desired changes or e-mail him and ask him to do it.

Moving mailbox from exchange 2013 back to exchange 2007 ..

Hi Guys,
I recently configured configured co-existence between exchange 2007 and exchange 2013. I moved a pilot user from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 and now the user has issues receiving mails.
I am trying to move the user back to 2007 pending the resolution of the issue. The move status says completed but the mailbox remains in the exchange 2013 environment.
I need to return the user to an exchange 2007 mailbox database ..any ideas on what I am missing.
Thanx guys ..
~Richard
..forever is just a minute away*

Hi Richard,
Please move your mailbox from Exchange 2013 to 2007 from the Exchange 2013 admin center (EAC) and the Exchange Management Shell instead of EMC in Exchange 2007.
Then check whether the issue persists. If possible, please provide more error logs for further analysis.

HELP! Moved website from one mac to another but lost some files...

I recently purchase an iMac (my wife already owns a MacBook)... I had created a website using iWeb and transferred the DOMAIN files to my new computer... I worked on the website for several hours last night, published it to a folder and everything looks fine.. HOWEVER< this morning I tried to open iWeb and some problems are occuring...
iWeb opens and starts to pull up my website to work on but ALL of the necessary files are reportedly missing... the interesting thing is that all of the files are actually on the desktop in the Site folder.. hmmm... I copied the domain file to Aplpication Support/iWeb/ - was this not correct?
I am hoping that this is an easy fix.. maybe I just need to have the domain file in the same folder as the files it is looking for...
any thoughts?
thanks in advance for your help...

You can keep the domain file anywhere you like as long as it is in its own folder.
If its not in the default location -Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb- all you do is double click the domain file to launch it in iWeb.
Try quitting iWeb, delete the preference file - Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist, restart your Mac and run Disk Utility to repair permissions.

Moving files from multiple folders

I have just used Techtool Pro 5 to restore animation data files from an unmountable external drive. Every individual frame of a sequence has been put into a seperate folder by Techtool.
Can I use Automator (or another app) to move each file into one folder.
There are 5500 folders, so this might take a while manually.

But unix commands rsync or ditto can do exactly that with a lot more options ???
So a better question would be "How to use the unix commands rsync or ditto to do *your question*" in the [apple unix forum|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=735]
--Am no expert in Unix or Applescript.--
--Not too long ago I had the same 'bottleneck' issue with an applescript - activity monitor showing full cpu usage for one of my applescripts.--
--Then tried to solve the same problem with unix and ruby. Results were stunning.--
Still I am not complaining about applescript..
--It helped me learn the limits of Applescript--
--Hence I tend to use Applescript only for GUI scripting these days - its awesome there,--
--for text processing and file processing - use a combination of bash and ruby--

Moving Contacts from I-Pod back to Computer

I recently purchased a new MacPro. I no longer have access to my "old" Address Book on the old computer. Is there some way that I can move my contacts from my I-Pod Classic back to the new computer or do I have to establish all my contacts manually again in the new computer? Will a simple synch of the I-Pod to the new computer transfer all of my contacts to my new MacPro?

1. Make sure iPod is set up to be used as an external hard disk.
2. Connect iPod to your computer. The iPod appears as a hard disk on your desktop or in a Finder window.
3. Open the iPod hard disk.
4. Open the folder named "Contacts".
5. Find the vCard for the contact you want.
6. Drag the vCard to the desktop.

How do I publish multiple websites from iweb?

Hi, I'm new with iweb and .mac in general and wanted to know about publishing multiple accounts from my iweb.
I bought a five-user edition of .mac last week and I wanted to get at least three different websites up and running. One site is almost 50% done and has uploaded just fine but when I tried to create another site in iweb, I have no idea where it's going. I created a second account in .mac and it shows up (I can log into and everything) but how can I publish to my brand new site without the other one going through each and every time?
This question may sound really dumb but please bear and mind that I'm a newbie with iweb and mac (I just got this powerbook in Sept. 2006).
Thanks in advance,
Dale

Actually, Dale, this is a pretty common question.
If you want the different sites to load to different .mac accounts (or different sub accounts), the easiest solution is probably to set up several different user accounts on your computer, one for each .mac sub account. In each of those accounts, set the appropriate .mac info in system preferences. Seems like I've heard of another approach, but this is probably the simplest.
Have you already started building a second site in the same user account (on your computer) as the first site? If so, we'll need to walk you through domain separation, too.
One other heads up: it is very important to back up your domain files (in your case in each account). The domain file is found in ~/library/Application Support/iWeb, where ~ refers to your home folder for your user account on the computer. Make sure to make a backup copy (preferably on an external hard drive or CD) after every major change in your website. Don't be lulled into thinking that a published website serves as a backup. It is not possible to import a published site back into iWeb. The domain file is your only link to creating/editing the site in iWeb.
Please post back if you have any questions or if I haven't been clear.

My Website Design and Pages in the iWeb Application has all Disappeared?

Hello,
Last time I uploaded to my website I pressed save as always. Now when I open iWeb (Version 1.1.2) my design and the web pages I created are all gone and it asks me to choose a template as if this is the first time I have used the Application iWeb.
My website is still on-line. How can I correct this? Does it have something to do with the MobileMe fiasco?
Thanks Rock

Rock ~ Perhaps. To use MobileMe, the version of OS X you indicate you are using (10.4.10) needs to be upgraded to 10.4.11. See this _.Mac to MobileMe transition FAQ_. ...Run +Software Update+ and you may also get an iWeb update.
It sounds like iWeb cannot find its Domain file, normally located in the +~/Library/Application Support/iWeb+ folder. Have you moved it, or made any major changes to your Mac?
If you've been prudently making backup copies of iWeb's domain file as described HERE, you could try double-clicking on that backup copy and see if it opens up the last backup version of your sites.
"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."

How do i get a site saved in a folder back to iweb?

for some reason (i do not know why) one of my sites disappeared from iweb. but, it is still saved on my idisk at web>sites>etc.... when i click on any of teh files, they open in safari and the URL starts with - file:///Volumes....
so i know i didn't loose all my work, but how can i get it back into iweb so i can make it part of my original site?
TIA!!!

I'm sorry, but you will not be able to import any of these saved folders back INTO iWeb. iWeb just doesn't function that way. The best that you can do is EITHER to use what you can see as a reference while recreating your site (you can drag images and stuff to your desktop for use back in iWeb) OR you can put the folder back on your iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/ folder and make a NEW site in iWeb that links to this old and now static site.
In any case, there isn't any way to further edit or publish this site from iWeb. In the future, you should keep a backup of your Domain file, which is where iWeb stores everything about your site. This is the only true way to backup your iWeb work. You can find this Domain file in your hard drive in the /Users/username/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ folder.

Where are my publishing folders?

I opened up LR3 and several folders are missing, they are still on my HDD, but missing in LR. I imported a few again, then went to publish and most of my publishing folder are missing. The folder are still on the HDD, but not in LR. What is going on? How do I get the publishing folders back without re-creating them? and why are all my imported folders not showing? I have not moved, renamed, or changed the folders on the HDD - I literally was working without issues, then the next time I opened LR - poof, there gone.

One possibility is that you accidentally opened the wrong catalog, look under File->Open Recent
If that doesn't fix the issue, restore a recent backup of your catalog
