Need Help Opening Previous iWeb Site

I recently got a new hard drive. I am trying to open my website "doman" file, but iWeb will not open it (...it only opens a new iweb site and asks me what template I want to use). How can I open my previous published site?

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 Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
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.

  • I need help modifying my iWeb site from another Mac than the one it was designed on:

    I did exactly as directed in the Help file "to Modify your site from another computer", but when I click on the Domain file it launches iWeb to start a new website without anything from the site I created. The Macs are a mirror image of each other with the same iWeb version 3.0.4. I am transitioning from my MacBook to my new iMac, so the laptop files were all transferred to the iMac by the Apple Store when I bought it. The only difference is that the laptop is OS 10.6.8, and the new iMac is OS 10.7.5. After the transfer of all the files at the store, I proceeded to make the website on the laptop, but now need to work on the website from my iMac...but I need help getting the file to work on the iMac.
    PLEASE HELP!
    Thanks!

    The trick that solved it for me was the last note about how to make the hidden folder appear (due to Lion OS 10.75):
    Note for OS X Lion users :
    To show the hidden Library folder in the Home Directory (Cmd-Shift-H) hold the Option (=Alt) key when choosing theGo menu in the Finder.
    Thanks!

  • Need help detangling an iWeb site

    I'm an expert user of DreamWeaver, but have never used iWeb. Trying to help a friend with his iWeb site. He's created it such that each page is in its own folder, with its own CSS stylesheet, etc. He asked for help to flatten the site structure -- all pages in the same folder, and all using the same CSS sheet. Is this possible using any of iWeb's tools? 

    iWeb publishes the webpages to a folder with the Sitename.
    Each page has an folder with its own assets.
    Images, css files, javascript files.
    The menu at the top of each page is created from the feed.xml file with a JavaScript.
    That's what iWeb does. And there are no tools to detangles it.
    If you want to flatten/alter/detangle/change the website, do so.
    iWeb is not involved, and will happily publish the webpages again the way it was designed to do. Ignoring all the detangling you did.
    Note that once published there are only webpages.

  • I need to change my iWeb site from my macbookpro to my iMac, can't seem to do it, any help???

    Hello hello,
    I need to change my iweb site from one mac to another, please can any one help?
    thank you, Joanne

    Picture :
    In Lion the Library folder is hidden. It's mentioned almost daily in this forum.
    This page with movie explains how to display that folder and shows how to move domain files around with iWebSites.

    I'm sure our resident technology experts and iWeb aces will repeat the same answer.

    How does Websense expect your source IPs in the tunnel? 192.168.8.0 0.0.3.255 or PAT'ed 216.222.208.101 ?
    Check
    show crypto isakmp sa
    show crypto ipsec sa
    show crypto session
    You'd better remove the preshared key from your post.

  • Cannot open different iweb site folder from iweb 8, help?

    Hi

    Thanks

    Hi there,
    If what you did is publishing to a folder and you're now trying to access those pages it's not gonna work...
    The only way to move iWeb pages from one computer to another is to move the Domain.sites2 file where iWeb stores its files. To find that file go to
    User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2
    If you can’t find it here search for it with spotlight. Note that the extension .sites (iWeb 1.0) or .sites2 (iWeb 2.0) may be hidden, also search for Domain only. To see if a Domain file is iWeb ’06 or iWeb ’08 select the file press Command(Apple)+i under "Name & Extension" you will find that it is .sites or .sites2.
    To get the site showing up in iWeb just open the Domain.sites file by double clicking on it and your sites and pages will show up on the left side in the iWeb page browser. Note that the location, where you put the file, doesn’t matter.
    Note that you have to change permissions of the Domain file to be able to edit, save changes and publish a website from another user account and from another computer as well.
    Select Domain file press Command(Apple)+i under Ownership & Permissions go to =>Details =>Others and select Read & Write
    You have to do that in the original user account and computer in which the Domain file was created.
    If you don’t change permissions you will find an error while publishing and saving.
    Regards,
    Cédric

  • Previous iWeb site is gone after upgrade.

    I had made a site using the previous version of iWeb (in 10.4) but after I upgraded to 10.5, when I opened iWeb that site was not there. I do have it because I published it to a folder, but how can I get it back into iWeb so I can edit it? Do I have to make it all over again?
    I don't see any way to "Open" a previous site.
    Please help!

    OK, So now is there any way to open that previously designed site using the new iWeb, since it's not listed in the pane on the left of iWeb?
    I'd like to open that old site that I made so I can make changes and finish it.
    Thanks!

  • Mp3s won't play for most who open my iWeb site

    I am a pianist with an iWeb site. I drop my mp3s on various pages, then a photo on top to make it look cool. Set them to auto play. Most can not cue them when the site or page opens...some can. Would anyone please be willing to help me understand why this is and what I must do about it so that the majority can hear?
    Thank you!

    iWeb uses only the QuickTime browser plug-in (page code) and without it your visitors can't hear your file.
    iWeb has changed your source .mp3 file and placed it inside a .mov container:
    http://web.mac.com/johnriger3/Site_2/Media/Pure%20Love%201.mov
    which means only QuickTime can be used to play the file.
    The page code also requires javascript be enabled. If javascript is turned off your file will also not play.

  • I cannot open my iWeb site with any browser

    I have had an iWeb site which has been live for about a month. It has been working perfectly. It still appears to be working well within iWeb. I can make changes and publish changes.
    When I now search the internet using any browser, it says
    [Safari] can't open the page "http://www.mydomain.com" because the server where this page is located isn't responding.
    I have checked my .mac account and everything seems to be fully functional. Why has my site suddenly disappeared off the internet?

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Try deleting thesee files.
    com.apple.mobileme.configuration
    com.apple.mobilemesyncclient
    Here's the path: ~/Library/Caches/
    Move those files to the Trash and retart your Mac.
    Try to access your site. If that didn't help...
    With iWeb open from the Menu Bar click File/Visit Published site
    Then go to File/Publish Entire Site to MobileMe and see if that helps...
    If not more help here. http://web.me.com/YourMobileMeAccount/
    Also, In your Finder: Go/ iDisk / My iDisk which will mount your iDisk on your Desktop if it is't alerady there. Open your iDisk then go to the iDisk/ Web / Sites folder to see if your website folder is there along with an index.html file.
    You can read posts from iWeb users on Facebook also.

  • Need Help Opening a Corrupted File in MS Office Word 2007.

    I use Microsoft Office Word 2007. I need help in opening a corrupted file. I tried to open but am getting messages: "cannot be opened", "unreadable content", "do you want to recover contents?" "Do you want to search
    for a converter?"
    Anyone have any ideas on how I can get this file to open? :/
    Thank you,
    Chuck in California

    From Microsoft Documentation:-
    If a file has been damaged and you cannot open it by normal means, you may be able to recover its content by using the Open and Repair
    feature.
    Click the
    Microsoft Office Button
    Browse to the file that you want to recover, and click it (do not double-click it).
    Click the arrow next to the
    Open button, and then click Open and Repair.

  • Import previous iweb site from the internet? No old iweb files

    My mac crashed and I lost all the information I had stored in it, including the iweb files of the blog I created using Iweb. Is there a way to import my iweb blog into a new Iweb in the mac I purchased? The iweb site I created is still up, so I am wondering if I can import the entries from my old iweb blog into my new mac/iweb using RSS or some other mechanism to capture the text and pictures in my old iweb blog and transfer them to my new mac. I also use idisk, so when I log in to mobile me I see links to my old iweb blog under if I click on Idisk and then go to "site". Any ideas about how I can import my old iweb blog from the internet?
    The iweb version I have in my new mac is Iweb 3.0.3 (501)

    Jorge ~ Welcome to the Support Communities. Apple says:
    "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.” (Source)
    ...If you don't have a backup of your Domain file (e.g. via Time Machine), 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:
