No "Open" command in iWeb - how do I open old site folder?

I have a folder on my desktop I published a site to, but it doesn't show up in the iWeb Site Organizer pane. I don't remember deleting it but I guess I did. The site itself is up and running on the web, but I can no longer edit it b/c I can't open it in iWeb. Any advice? TIA

If you have deleted your website from within iWeb (even by accident or by some other act of nature!) I'm afraid that it has been erased from the Domain file where iWeb stored all information about the website. There is no way to recover the website and no way to import the published folder that you have on your desktop, unfortunately. It's just not something iWeb is capable of doing since it is a one-way HTML generator.
Since the site is online, you can maintain your web presence for the time being. But your only choice right now is to start from square one and recreate your site within iWeb. But you're work is not completely lost. You still have all the little graphics and other media files from your site inside the published folder that you can drag out and the drag right back into iWeb as your recreate your site. You can also use the online site for reference as you rebuild.
In the future, it may be best to keep regular backups of your Domain file. This file is where iWeb stores all the information about your website. It is located in its default location on your hard drive/Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ folder pathway.
Good luck to you while you get back on your feet!

    In that case, might be a good idea to uninstall iTunes (and all Apple related software) then re-install.

    When opening a new tab, how can I specify a site, homepage or empty? My new tabs open to a site I don't want to see.

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
    You can look at this extension to set which page to open in a new tab:

    What is the GarageBand version that your friend is using?
    If it is GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5, you can buy GarageBand '11 as a boxed retail version with the iLIfe '11 bundle, e.g. from Amazon.
    Then you can upgrade GarageBand '11 to 6.0.5, using this upgrader from the Support page:
                     GarageBand 6.0.5
    GarageBand 6.0.5 will work well with your system.  But if your friend is using the newest GarageBand 10, this will not help. Then ask your friend to send you audio files for each track, so you can recreate the project from the audio.  Or your friend could also use GarageBand '11 for the projects you want to share, that will run well in all newer MacOS X versions, even with GarageBand 10.0 installed on the same system.

  • IWeb doesn't allow me to open an old site folder

    Hello everybody
    recently I had to reinstall my software on my MacBook Pro.
    I've created two sites, located in user/Sites, but, when I open iWeb, it wants me to create a new site!!
    I'm unable to put the folders of my old sites in iit in order to modify/publish them again.
    any solutions??
    thanks a lot!!!
    ps I'm italian...sorry for my bad english

    Well no, you won't be able to open your sites because iWeb has no import facility which means that it cannot open a site that has already been published - html/css files.  You say that your sites are located under User/Sites - well this means that the sites have been published, so iWeb cannot open them.
    The file that you need is your domain.sites file which is located in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.  Note that you need to look under your User/Library and not your System Library as iWeb is not located there. 
    Your domain.sites file is the file where iWeb stores all your website data before you publish.  Double click on your domain file and iWeb will open it.

  • Comcast will not let me open large document 150mb. how do I open?

    Comcas.net will not let me open large e-mail document (150mb). More the 50 mb. How do I open

    Hello ambluth,
    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like you are not able to upgrade your version of iTunes. I found an article that provides steps on troubleshooting the installation of iTunes on a Mac computer:
    Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2311
    There may be multiple instances of iTunes on your computer and if iTunes is not in the Applications folder, it may not update.  The article I mentioned earlier suggests to try this:
    Opening iTunes
    It's possible that clicking the iTunes icon in your Dock or double-clicking an iTunes icon on your desktop could open an older version of iTunes. Open iTunes from the Applications folder to be sure you are opening the right version:
    Double-click your hard disk.
    Double-click the Applications folder.
    Double-click the iTunes icon.
    If that doesn't work, follow the steps in the article from the beginning.  The iTunes application is stored separately than your music, so as long as you don't delete the iTunes folder that contains the iTunes Media or iTunes Music folder, it should not effect your music. 
    Best,
    Sheila M.

  • I have just done a software update and now I can not open my itunes. How can I open itunes?

    Hi, I have a macbook pro os x, version 10.6.8
    While doing a software update, I was asked to quit itunes to download the update. Now I can not open itunes. The icon is still there, but it just bounces up and down when I click on it. What is happening there? And how can I open itunes? Do I need to down load itunes again?

    Look at the Apple ID and the "YOU CAN BE REACHED..." entries. Make sure none of these are shared with your partner.

  • Adobe photoshop lightroom 4.pkg trying to open with text edit -- how do i open as application?

    downloaded trial for mac, all requirements are met, but cannot get download to open as an application, mac is trying to open with text edit; downloaded several times, every time the disk utility opens

    The .dmg was opening with Disk Utility, where it would verify and then mount the "Lightroom 4.0" disc image on my desktop.  Clicking on this opened the folder, which contained the .pkg file, but it wouldn't work (opening with TextEditor). I changed the .dmg file to open with DiskImageMounter and thought I would have to manually change the .pkg file as well, but once the .dmg file opened with DiskImageMounter, the Lightroom 4 file opened with it as well and I got the installation screen right away.  Installation from that point on went as usual.  It was a very frustrating experience, but now I know where to look when a file won't install.  But as for your question, they both opened with DiskImageMounter.

  • How to revert to old site name and link?

    I just created a disaster. I had several videos pages published and the ugly links are connected to an email autoresponder. I recently tried to clean up the title of the links from within iWeb by changing the default site name and the result was the URL for the links on each page were changed. Now the old links to the site doesn't work cuz the links are different cuz of the new site name. How can I revert back to the old name of the site so my old backlinks to the site work?

    Change the site name back to the original in iWeb and then republish the whole site.

  • FileVault: How long does "Deleting old Home folder" take?

    Hello, guys. I'm comparing FileVault and PGP WDE. I enabled FileVault on my MBP about 16 hours ago with about 30GB in my user folder, and it's been ""Deleting old Home folder" for at least 10 hours now.
    I've not been able to find any accounts of how long this is supposed to take. Has anyone actually waited 16+ hours and had the thing complete?
    I understand the pros and cons of using FileVault, but am wondering if the thing is supposed to work.

    I didn't have enough free space the first attempt, and FileVault warned me. I freed up some space and moved some of my personal files to an external drive, and it allowed me to continue, the second time around.
    This is my first FileVault attempt -- I'm really paranoid, and have two backups, just in case it fails!
    I just did a hard reset, and my machine booted up properly. Now, I'll see if it is working OK...

  • When you open a new tab, how do you change the site it goes to?

    My Daughter downloaded accidently a tool bar, Searchqu.com. I have removed the tool bar and application, and reset the homepage. However when I open a new tab it defaults to http://www.searchqu.com/, how do I change this? I have tried resetting it to default and it does not help.

    Did you try opening '''about:config''' and filtering on the url (or part of it) to see if there is a configuration variable involved.
    How did you remove the toolbar and application, did you have to go into the control panel or did an extension sim,ply uninstall..
