No iWeb in Application Support in Library -- so where's my iWeb file?

I have a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Imac. I’ve had it for a couple of years, and it’s been a great machine.
I just installed Leopard (no, not Snow Leopard -- Leopard, OS X 10.5.8), and the only reason I did that (I was happy with 10.4.11) is that I’ve been doing some Web pages in iWeb and I wanted to be able to have the multiple sites separated out for publication, so that I could upload individual sites, not all at the same time. For that, I needed iWeb ’09, and for that I needed Leopard.
Okay, the question: Where do my iWeb files (or file) reside? Under 10.4.11, I could find Domain in the Library, in the folder Application Support, and then in the iWeb folder. It was easy to make a copy of, or back-up. But, what’s freaking me out now is, the Application Support folder in the Library doesn’t even have an iWeb folder in it, and I can’t find Domain anywhere using Spotlight. There seems to be a folder in Application Support for every application -- except iWeb.
And yet, every time I open iWeb, it opens up all the stuff I’ve done most recently, without fail, so it must be getting itself saved somewhere. But where?
I’m desperate to back it up, for safety sake.
Help, anyone?

Heya,
You're most likely looking in the wrong place. The Domain file is located in the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder, not the system Library/Application Support folder. There's two Library folders which may be confusing. Again, your Domain file is located in the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. From Finder Press Shift/Control/H which will take you to your user Home folder. From there navigate to Library/Application/Support/IWeb and you should see your Domain file there.

  • Safari does not support community toolbar ive searched my computer for the following like people have said in similar posts but none seem to work /Library/Application Support/Conduit /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader /Library/Receipts/ctloa

    hey all i know that there have been many post about this community toolbar thing that pops up when opening Safari
    i have searched my computer for the things that have been posted in the other posts to delete
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit     (no conduit in folder)
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader         (i dont have input managers i have input methods but still no CTLoader)
    /Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg                (no ctloader.pkg)
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg      (nothing in this one either)
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle         (NADA)
    /Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit           (NOTHING EITHER)
    where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
    If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
    Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    Library/Application support/conduit plugins
    i have pretty much looked everywhere i dont even know where this thing came from
    can anyone lend some advise i really do not want to take the 2 hour ride to apple to get this off my computer
    thanks so much

    When you see this path:   /Library   That is your root Library.
    Open a Finder window.
    Select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left then open the LIbrary folder then the Application Support folder, then InputManagers folder, the Receipts folder.
    For this path:  ~/Library/Application Support  (your Home library)
    The Tilde character ~ represents your Home folder.
    From that same Finder window select your Home folder in the Sidebar. It has a small house icon. Open the Library folder then the Application Support folder.
    Move all the Conduit/CT associated files you posted above to the Trash.
    Try Safari.
    I've yet to find the launchAgents.plist file in any Safari crash report in years. I don't think that's a problem.
    Another way to find files on your hard drive is to go to your Finder.
    From the menu bar at the top of your screen click Go / Go to Folder.
    Example. Type in:  /Library/ApplicationSupport   click Go
    Or type in:  ~/Library/Application Support   click Go

  • You have installed a third party application called CTLoader. You need to remove it.  /Library/Application Support/Conduit  /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader  /Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg  /Library/Receipts/ Toolbar name .pkg  /Library/Application Support

    Could some one help me out how i get to /library/application

    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader 
    Click Go then move the Conduit/Library/InputManagers/CTloader file to the Trash.
    The same for /Library/Receipts and /Library/Application Support
    Check these folders as well.
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/ScriptingAddtions (anything CTLoader realted)

    therefore can't find my DOMAIN file to copy it and back it up. I've used Spotlight, but to no avail.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If the Pref Setter approach isn't helpful (it should pinpoint the location) a search application that will search where Spotlight won't isFind File. A tad slower than Spotlight but searches "everywhere".

  • Broadcasting Firefox Preferences - Application Support

    We are working on broadcasting preferences to 250 users. We are using the Workgroup Manager, clicking on the group, and clicking on preferences. We have been successful with desktops, docks, printing, etc. We are having trouble with Firefox. I want to set the home page and I would like to also set the personal tool bar. I can deal with just getting the home page to work. I can put my links that would normally be on the personal tool bar on the home page. When I set Firefox as the default browser it doesn't work. I realize that there is a folder in the Application Support folder that holds important information about Firefox, but at this point if I can just set the home page for firefox via the preferences I would be happy. What am I doing wrong?

    Firefox stores the record of the home page in the file prefs.js inside its part of the Application Support folder, and you need to copy that file to all of the accounts for it to be set on the clients.

  • Can't open file "~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites"

    I was working on iWeb today, doing the usual adding pictures, and gave a few pages some color, and a few pictures here and there.
    I restart my computer, because as usual, I almost have no memory left. When the computer is running again, I opened iWeb, and I get this odd message:
    Can't open file "~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites"
    Why is this here? I didn't do anything weird to trigger such message. The site was working perfectly fine! I tried taking the domain file to the desktop, then opening it once iWeb launches from there, and same message appears. I put it back to its place, and tried putting the iWeb plist on the desktop, and same deal!
    Everything is back in its place, I haven't changed or triggered anything to deserve this. I ran Onyx, full optimization update. I restarted computer, and conducted a full disk permission repairs. Only 1 error found out of another app.
    My computer is healthy, my programs are running fine. What is going on? Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    Hi
    Whaow 3.1GB. I'm sure iWeb has problems with that. I have the same problem with my iWeb. I have about 100 BLOG pages with a lot of pictures. Although iWeb scales the pictures when publishing (good!) it does not scale them when they are stored in the domains file/dir (bad!) So if you have an 8MP camera, this adds up after a while.
    You can open the comains file and try to figure out what causes the trouble. (Right click/CTRL click, open content) sort on size to see if you have some extremely large stuff in there (Movies???) Take them out and try to make them smaller.
    Good luck!!

  • Can't open file "~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2."

    Hello,
    I have been using iWeb for over a year and I have a lot of my work on it. But for some reason, when I went to open iWeb, I get the error message:
    +Can’t open file “~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2.”+
    Does anyone know how I can fix this and make sure my content doesn't get deleted?
    Thank You!

    Deleting the preference file does not affect the domain.sites2 file. If it's not in the default folder or has a name other than domain.sites2 then that's why iWeb couldn't find and open it. Find it and double-click on it to open it with iWeb 2. You do have a backup copy the domain file, right? If not download and use frequently the Automator application that Varkgirl created. You can get it at Varkgirl's iWeb Tips and Tricks site.

  • Can't open file "~Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2" from a backup

    I've done my home work on this one. I'm trying to recover the Domain.sites2 files from a backup on to an OS 10.6.8 with iWeb 3.0.4. It allows me to create a new site perfectly but I followed these instructions at iwebformusicians including deleting the .plist preferences file, restarting and running DU/Fix Permissions, running BatChmod based on this suggestion, and even deleting the .plist files from the Domain.sites2 package based on this suggestion. I also tried DomainCracker based on the tips at iwebformusicians since there are 2 domains in the sites2 file.
    At a loss here. I still have all the web pages in the Sites folder. What are my options? Is the file really corrupt?

    Try the following:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    Click to view full size
    launch iWeb and try again.
    If that doesn't help continue with:
    move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
    go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
