My iweb pages were created on another mac--what now?

A friend helped me create a web site. But he did it using iweb '08 on his Mac and using (I think) his .mac account. Now we're trying to move what he did onto MY mac.. The files are on my computer now and i have iweb '08. Here's the problem: although I can view the pages if I click on them, they're not opening up in my iweb. Does this mean they're not really publishing under my name and won't work with my e-mail and domain? Do I have to create the pages again, and start from scratch on my computer?
Thanks . . .

I appreciate the response, but it's still not working. Here's what I did: got a folder called "sites" from my friend which included something called html.index and another folder with several sub folders that I believe are the nuts and bolts of my site. I took the whole thing and placed it in Library/applications support/iweb. But when I open up iweb, all I see is the program's default template page.
Did I copy the wrong thing? Do I need to go into a different menu of my iweb to find my stuff?
Thanks, again, for your help . . . .

    Editting PDF documents that were created by a MAC doesn't work because of font incompatability.  How can we get MAC fonts and load in our Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?

    If it's a Mac font and you're on Windows, you can't. If you are also on a Mac, you'll need to purchase the fonts (fonts are generally non-transferable, like software. One of the reasons pdf exists), install them and try your edits.
    But it's best to edit the original document and create a new pdf when finished.

  • In trying to transfer iWeb pages (not uploaded) to another computer I went into the library and transferred the domain onto the desktop. Disaster! On opening iWeb all previous (uploaded) sites have disappeared. Help!

    In trying to transfer iWeb pages (not uploaded) to another computer I went into the Library and transferred the domain onto the desktop. Disaster! On opening iWeb all previous (uploaded) sites have disappeared. On opening the domain all I can recover is the many component parts, and when unzipped the code. Help! Mike

    Code in a domain file - really?  That is not possible because the domain.sites file does not contain any html or css code at all - the domain file is your iWeb data file and you won't see any code until you publish your website.
    If you can see html code, then you have the wrong file and it is a published version of your site which iWeb can do nothing with - iWeb has no import facility so cannot open any html files.
    Go back and ensure that you have the correct domain.sites files that can be found under your User Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites and if you have Mavericks then you need to go to Go and press the alt key to reveal your hidden User Library, so that you can then get to Application Support and then iWeb and then your domain.sites file.
    You will also need to go and download either DomainCracker or iWebSwitch which allows you to open individual domain files under Mavericks, because from Lion onwards, you cannot open individual domain files.
    Also, it says that you are still using iWeb 08?  If this is so, you'll either need to upgrade to iWeb 09 by going to Amazon and purchasing the iLife 09 or 11 boxed set, both of which contain iWeb 09 or you need to switch to newer software that is actively being supported and developed such as EverWeb (http://www.everwebapp.com).

  • IWeb page didn't publish to .mac

    I created a web site in iWeb and chose command "publish to .mac" when it was ready. I got an error message saying it didn't publish, but not why. (Yes, I already have a .mac account.)
    The page also does not appear under the URL http://web.mac.com/[YourMemberName]. (With the latter part filled in correctly, minus the brackets.)
    Worst of all, I cannot find the original iWeb site, only the index copy saved as a Safari file, so I can't attempt to republish.
    One, where did my original work go?
    Two, why didn't it publish, and what can I do to fix it?

    To see the problem go to http://web.mac.com/robruhn
    I don't seen any problem. Perhaps it is just your local browser cache? Try clearing your cache and using another browser.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how the pc
    user can form the link?
    http://web.mac.com/robruhn should work just fine, unless the person at the other end is mistyping it or something. I would suggest that you get rid of the space in your site name and republish, as that might cause problems for some systems (i.e. change Site 3 to Site3 or Site-3 or Site_3).

  • Opening INDD files in Windows7 that were created on a Mac

    I'm not even really sure if this is a PC - Mac issue but here goes.....
    I am having performance issues, particularly with type, switching between tools and updating links. All of these seemingly simple tasks are inordinately slow. The INDD CS6 docs were created on an iMac with an i7 processor and plenty of RAM (I know because I created the documnets). Now I am having to open these CS6 docs at another location using a Dell with an i7 quad core and 24 gigs of RAM running Windows7.  The issue seems to effect docs that are very graphic heavy. On the other hand other Mac generated docs open and run just fine on this Dell. Both the imac and the pc being used are heavily equipped and shouldn't have any problems.
    One note: all the files in question were sent via a browser based FTP connection.
    Can anyone help or am I doomed to watching the little blue ring in windows7 spin forever?

    Thanks. I knew about the missing font issue. Once those were loaded or replaced performance got a little better. However, I didn't know about the color profile issue. I switched the application to use the working profile rather than the document profile and that seemed to help. These files in particular that I'm having issues with were also transferred via ftp and during the time frame they were transferred there were some strange anomalies when downloading or uploading to the ftp. The files could be slightly damaged but not enough to destroy the file completely.
    Thanks for your help.

  • How can I play Power Point DVDs that were created on my mac 7-10  years ago?

    I cannot play DVDs that were created 7-10 years ago using Power Point for Mac.

    What do you mean Keynote "son't open the DVDs"? That doesn't make sense. It's not up to Keynote to open the DVDs. The file that are ON the DVDs, yes. The DVDs, no. What kind of files are they, exactly?
    Try downloading Open Office and see if you can open them with Impress, the presentation program included with the Open Office package.
    If that won't work, you can get a 1 month trial of Office365 from Microsoft. It's $9.99 a month after the trial ends.

  • Itunes will not open, message says library was created with earlier version. what now?,

    itunes will not open, message says library was created with earlier version. what do i do?

    Unless you just attempted to downgrade iTunes to an earlier verison this is probably a sign of a corrupt library.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    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.
    I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

  • Trying to migrate a web page I created on one mac to another

    Hi
    I created a page a couple of years ago on a Mac I am about to selll and want to save this file but the path listed in the one page I found giving directions does not exist in home folder...Library/App Support/iweb etc. Anybody know how to export the file from iWeb or find the existing file. I;m not sure I ever published it up to the cloud to my old .mac acct
    Thanks
    Enio

    It sounds like you're running Lion. 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 the library is visible you should be able to find the iWeb folder and your domain file.  Just make sure you're looking in your Home()/Library.

  • IWeb  Load a domain from another Mac onto my Mac

    Appreciate help given to get this far.
    I have obtained the domain I want to load but can't seem to load it.  (Domain.sites2)
    Whenever I try to load it I always get my test domain that I am using to learn iWeb.
    I am using IWeb 08 version 2.0.4.
    Not sure what version of IWeb the domain is coming from.

    What happens when you try to open the domain file?  If the domain file was created with iWeb 3 then you will have to upgrade your iWeb in order to use it.
    With that in mind the following may be of some help:
    It is now apparent that iWeb, and iDVD, will no longer be supported by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.  iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    All of these issues can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    Apple has announced that iLife is now an unsupported product and those iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on.  However, the boxed iLife 11 at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.  Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought. Personally, if I already didn't have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

  • Delete my Iweb pages off of a former .mac account

    I started a free trial of .mac and published my site on it. I then realized I wanted a different .mac name so I started another account free trial with a the plan of buying it in the near future and now my web page via iweb is on both. I am gonna let the first one lapse and go away but, I would like to get my web page off of it if possible. without deleting it from my new account. I am going in circles.. please help if you can, and I apoligize ahead of time if this is a stupid same ole same ole subject.. thanks everyone.

    At the bottom of your screen is the Dock. Click on the blue left-most icon - that's the Finder. Then at the top your screen you'll see a Go menu item. Click on it and move your mouse down over iDisk... Then move the mouse over to the right and choose "Other User's iDisk..."

  • Iweb Pages not showing correctly on Mac

    Hi you experts..
    My site when uploaded to the server shows up as it should using any browser BUT when I open Iweb on my Mac to make changes the pages do not appear as they should with some elements missing or not visible !! This is very frustrating when updating ( not impossible but not a fun experience either ).
    Has anyone else experienced this strange behaviour ???
    Thanks for any help Phil

  • IWeb pages not updating correctly on .mac website.

    I have changed one of my pages in iWeb. This page was a photos page. I tried to put a movie at the bottom of the page and it didn't work right. When you load up the page it looks like there to be a movie there but it doesn't play. So I decided to remove it. I removed it in iWeb and published the update to my .mac account. When I go to view it the movie is still posted on my website.
    Anybody know how to fix this problem?

    depending on which browser you use you will find it here:
    SAFARI: Open Safari, then choose "Safari" from the silver-white bar at the top and choose to "Empty Cache..."
    FIREFOX: Open FF, and then from the bar at the top choose "Extras" and then "Clear Private Files." then from the pop-up choose to to clear cache. do this twice.

  • Opening photos on a PC that were created on a Mac

    Hello everyone:
    I imagine there is a very basic solution to this problem, but I'm having difficulty finding an answer.
    I use Macs. When I send photos or video clips (as email attachments) to people who have PCs, they can't open them. The photos are JPEG files, and the video clips are AVI files.
    Sometimes they get the following dialogue box: "file does not have a program
    associated with it for performing this action. Create an associated in folder
    option control panel."
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Steve

    Templeton's right.Windows need the file extension to assign which application opens it. Additionally you can check the box that asks you to send "Windows friendly attachments", in the window pane through which you choose the file you wish to attach.

  • I need to open pagemaker 5 files that were created on the Mac.

    I downloaded Indesign cs4 but it blows up when I try to open the pagemaker file.  Can anybody tell me how to make this work or should I be using a different program?

    Thanks for the reply but how would you unembedd the graphics if you
    can't open the document?
    That's why you (um, I) need to keep your dead tech around; the only way to unembed the graphics is to open the document in the app that created it. Quite often, when I need to resurrect a dead PageMaker doc, I have to use the importer in PM 7 to extract the stories. I don't need to do so too often, but I'm quite glad I kept the old stuff around when a client shows up with something ancient.
    It's more critical for me, actually, because a fair number of the old translations we've kept in our archive that were made that long ago used terribly obscure and/or modified T1 fonts for which I have to write javascript codepage converters in ID. If I couldn't open up the old files easily, then doing a proof of the conversion process would be a painful, time-consuming, eyesight-destroying job.
    Can you tell me about your non profit and the refugees that you work with?
    Well, I don't really work direcly with refugees myself, I spend a lot more time working with their writing systems.   However, if you want to learn about the organization for which I spend my time juggling Burmese and Amharic and et cetera, direct your browser to www.irco.org. There is a great deal going on here that has nothing to do with the translation department.
