Noob Used iWebsites, now can't edit/find site in iWeb

Used iWebsites to allow for multiple sites with .Mac. Now "New Site" is the default (even if I delete it). When I launch iWeb "New Site" keeps reappearing
(with no files visible in iWeb).
The site I'm looking for (my original site, which still comes up online) is visible in the iWebsites dialog, but I can't find/open/edit it (even when I make it the "default").
Please help! (Is it lost forever...just floating out there in cyberspace??)

You shouldn't have to do that on the Mac or Windows.  Only thing I could find that would suggest loading files from there is a tutorial by David.  And although I would normally agree with him, keeping the files in a system library folder for a testing environment is really unnecessary.  I'd recommend moving them into your /Users/{username}/Sites folder.  There is already a modification to the apache server to recognize that as http://localhost/~{username}.  Or install something like MAMP that is in the Applications folder.

    Hey there arunvdi,
    It sounds like you are unable to connect to the Wi-Fi created by your Personal Hotspot. I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2756
    Try disabling and reenabling Personal Hotspot from Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Wi-Fi troubleshooting
    If you encounter an issue using Personal Hotspot with other Wi-Fi devices, try the following:
    Turn Personal Hotspot off.
    Verify Wi-Fi is on in Settings > Wi-Fi.
    Turn Personal Hotspot back on.
    If another device is unable to join your Wi-Fi network, ensure that the user enters the Wi-Fi password correctly. If the device cannot see your Wi-Fi network, verify your device name.
    Note: Windows may not properly display a device name that uses non-ASCII characters.
    Verify how many devices are currently using your Personal Hotspot. Depending on your wireless carrier and, the maximum number of Wi-Fi connections may be limited to three at one time.
    If the other device still cannot connect, try turning Wi-Fi off and on again on the device. Verify that your device can see other Wi-Fi networks.
    Note: If you see an "Unable to Join" or timeout error when trying to connect a device using Wi-Fi, ensure that you remain on the Personal Hotspot screen until the first device connects. After a device has connected, you can leave the Personal Hotspot screen and use your phone normally. Your device will automatically stop broadcasting using Wi-Fi if you put your device to sleep or after 90 seconds elapse with no devices connected using Wi-Fi. You can start broadcasting your Wi-Fi network again by tapping Settings > Personal Hotspot.
    If none of the previous steps resolves your issue, restore the iPhone.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • I can't edit my site or even create a new one!

    I created a website on this computer and it was published - somewhat successfully.  The photo albums didn't upload.  But, when I open iWeb, I can't edit the site.  It doesn't even give me the option to create a new site.  My software is up to date

    Sorry so late responding. 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.
    For opening your domain file in Lion 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.
    Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file 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.
    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 compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    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'd like to edit my site from iWeb on two computers, is this possible?

    I'd like to edit my site from iWeb on two computers, is this possible?
    I started creating my site on a PB 15", but when I'm home I like the speed of my iMac and I'd like to continue the editing process on my iMac but I can't find the files that iWeb saves.
    I'd ideally like to save my site on my 30gig iPod using it as a hard drive between both. I would love for this to happen but I can't find the files saved by iWeb. Is this even possible?
    I've even tried linking my PB to my iMac via firewire as a hard drive. No Luck.
    Please Help . . .

    I think iWeb only recognizes the 'domain.sites' file so while you can set up more than one site, they are in the same project.
    Of course, the workround is to move the domain.sites file out of the default location, which them makes iWeb create a new one. You can then work on any number of projects, only moving the correct file into the default location for work on each one. Not elegant by any means, but until someone suggests a better way (or Apple produce a more flexible version of the software) it works fine that way.

  • Created text, now can't edit or select it???

    I have created text using the typwriter tool, I selected it then copied and pasted it but now I cant select or edit either the original one or the copy. I find acrobat one of the most frustrating softwares I have ever used for simple task as editing text.
    Any help would be really appreciated.
    Many thanks

    Hi all,
    Many thanks for your replies, I did manage to work round it as LoriAUC sugested, I just found it very difficult to do what seems like a simple task, I was completing a form that I had recieved and one of the fields wouldn't let me put text in it correctly hence I used the typwriter tool. But sorted it now. I get that Bill2VT, it seems to be very limited in its editing capablities text wise, and I will have a look at the tutorials thanks Alec.
    Again, thanks for all your help.

    iWeb stores its files in a "domain" file. The file is located in your user Library -> Application Support -> iWeb Folder.
    Unless it has been moved or deleted, it should still be there. Double click it and see if it launches with your data.
    If it's been moved somewhere, you'd need to find it.
    However, if the domain file you were using has been deleted and not backed up somewhere, you would need to start from scratch.
    Good luck!

  • OS pre-instaled CM12 Client, but it can not automatically find site after joining Domain

    Background:
    we update sccm 2007 to sccm 2012 r2
    For New PC, the OS pre-installed with our image by PC Vendor. The image has sccm 2012 client. So when users get the new pc, we only need to join the domain.
    After joining the domain, 2012 client will never automatic locate the site code base on AD. 
    I do some testing.
    Install client in the domain pc with parameter SMSSITECODE=AUTO, the site code can be located
    Install client in the workgroup pc firstly, the join the domain. Client will never automatic locate the site code base on AD
    But If I  click Find Site in the Advanced tab of the Configuration Manager Properties in
    the Control Panel. The site code can be located.

    I'm going to guess you're running 2007 and 2012 side by side, in which case you need to look at your boundary groups.  In 2007 you simply had boundaries, in 2012 if you don't make boundary groups and assign boundaries and site site assignment to said
    group nothing will happen.
    If you have upgraded your infrastructure completely to 2012 but haven't upgraded all of your clients yet ... what you should be seeing is the opposite:  2007 clients wont check into 2012 unless you enable automatic client upgrade.  Then there's
    if you have overlapping site codes between the two systems.
    Better detail See:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682060.aspx
    Assignment scenario
    Assignment outcome
    You have used automatic site assignment and your System Center 2012 Configuration Manager boundaries overlap with Configuration Manager 2007 boundaries.
    The client automatically tries to find a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager site.
    The client first checks Active Directory Domain Services and if it finds a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager site published, site assignment succeeds. If this is not successful
    (for example, the System Center 2012 Configuration Manager sites is not published or the computer is a workgroup client), the client then checks for site information from its assigned management point.
    Note
    You can assign a management point to the client during client installation by using the Client.msi property SMSMP=<server_name>.
    If both these methods fail, site assignment fails and you must manually assign the client.
    You have assigned the System Center 2012 Configuration Manager client by using a specific site code rather than automatic site assignment, and mistakenly specified a site code for a Configuration
    Manager 2007 site.
    Site assignment fails and you must manually reassign the client to a System Center 2012 Configuration Manage

  • Using DS3 or DW8 to edit php site files in design mode

    Thanks in advance.
    Kinda new to Dreamweaver and website design. Have a site
    being designed in .php. I have downloaded the site folder, access
    it in DW, but only Code Mode. Is there any way that I can access
    the Design code mode to work with it as a php file.
    Do I, can I save it as a web page/html, access it, make
    changes, then save it again as php?
    Or will I need to deconstruct, cut and paste together back
    into the original php file?
    This is very important as I will need to constantly update
    and add content every day and I want to use the $$ DS3 Adobe suite
    to work with the php based oscommerce site being built for me.
    Unfortunately, my site developer has no experience with any
    Dreamweaver software and is not exactly eager to find answers.
    So, with great appreciation, I am hoping that someone can
    lead me in the right direction. Too much wasted time and energy
    just to find out a yes/no or how and how hard answer to this
    question.
    Peace,
    stress-freeliving

    Gary,
    While a novice to using dreamweaver or coding a website in
    general, I am not an idiot or a novice to the art and structure of
    computer, i.e., software programming. I have a degree in
    engineering; in the day, I programmed in fortran and associated
    languages.
    So, what I have been discussing this entire thread and my
    overall concern is that I want to change content pages and use a
    software package such that it will not interfere with the php
    coding of the pages and associated function of the site. Are all
    end users required to know code to add content -- if so, we would
    have millions of programmers to handle the millions of websites.
    What I want to be is an end user who can efficiently add
    content to his site. I don't want to have to learn how to use php
    instead of continuing to research and learning on other subjects
    that I wish to share; specifically, the workings of the brain, how
    to learn, how stress and sleep affect our lifestyles and what we
    need to do to overcome our natural tendencies towards our/my type
    'A' behavior. I have spent approximately 20 hours trying to dig
    through this the last 3 days, including a few hours associated to
    forums without any answers, even though there have been some very
    helpful people spending their time trying to understand my
    predicament.
    So, I don't want to have someone design a website, primarily
    a site that is information and content based albeit with ecommerce
    functions that will require me to dig into or learn what the php
    code for bold this statement, or make this a header, or insert
    image here, define this text box with these parameters, etc., then
    take the time to insert those specific codes in articles that I
    have already written in a word document that should be able to cut
    and paste and post effectively and efficiently in the average
    website or blog. Is that unreasonable?
    All I wanted to know is can I or how can I use the built in
    coding tools in Dreamweaver in this (my opinion not the css,html
    site I paid for) php designed site and upload it without wreaking
    havoc on the system -- irrespective and outside of catalog listings
    which should not have anything to do with pure content based pages.
    Am I wrong to think that in the design of a site, that templates
    for content pages and even the index page could be designed in html
    and leave the database functions to the php?
    The problem is that every page has a php extension. Am I
    wrong to think that this ecommerce site could have been designed
    with css and html that would have integrated somewhat seemlessly
    with the $2000 software package???
    Wisdom is trying to find the people that know more than you
    do on a subject, hopefully experts, and ask them the questions in
    the right mode to get an answer such that you can continue
    proceeding on the same path or come up with a better plan. That is
    what I have been trying to do.
    So, as an expert in dreamweaver and ecommerce sites: can you
    use non php based programming? Can someone design a site in
    dreamweaver using OsCommerce such that an intermediate end user of
    the dw can add content using the systems tools and not screw up the
    structure of the site -- and do so without having to dig into the
    page code every step of the way?
    And, yes, I have googled the subject and looked through
    OsCommerce instructions, help pages, etc.., to no avail.
    It seems that I will take what has been made, complete the
    project, then find some other way to efficiently and effectively
    produce an ongoing dynamic content site that will sell some things
    on the side.
    I am trying very hard to communicate effectively with my
    designer and maintain a positive, forward-thinking mode to create a
    workaround to his design mode to allow me to effectively,
    efficiently and without harm add to the site without having to type
    a backslash in front of every daggone apostrophe or actually
    <br> every carriage return in the 100+ articles I have
    already written.
    Can I create an html document in dreamweaver then upload it
    to the php site? I was told that I needed to then give it a php
    extension for it to work. What is involved in this?
    Dreamweaver supposedly handles php files? How? Just like
    Notepad or any other text editor -- without any of the Tools or
    functionss?
    And, how can I make changes to the index.php file? This is
    FAR from a process that I envisioned when my site definition for
    contract said: "Css based, 3 column design for content and
    ecommerce that user will add content on continuous basis using
    dreamweaver".
    As you can tell. This is not what I got.

  • Tried to edit my site in iweb, gave me two homepages.. help?

    hi prob a real noob question but i published my site with iweb and decided i wanted to change the theme and when i published my new site it created a new site thats not my homepage, my homepage is still the original theme, when i view my site from option box after publish it shows new site but its not my home adderess in my URL box its basiclly myhomepage/myhomepage/home.html when i go to www myhomepage com it shows my old site.... any help would be the greatest before i clean out the FTP and load fresh, its pretty big... that seems like the long way tho... thanks!

    okay after a little more poking around and research i found that ( i think ) this happened due to me transfering my site to local folder then uploading using iweb SEO, when you publish a entire sight with iweb it creates a new folder in you root that is named after the sight name you added when setting up ftp.
       So i now have my site loaded in to my filemanager twice, if i make changes in iweb and "publish changes" it changes the "second" site which nobody see's because its not my real homepage URL ,like i said nobody looks at this except me when i click "visit my site" after publish and it takes me to my revised webpage. Which fooled me untill i went to my site via bookmarks.
    http://www.mysite.com/home.html                                (real site up and working)
    http://www.mysite.com/my_site/home.html                    (the one iweb revises thats not my real homepage)
    in effect iv'e lost the ability to publish just my changes in iweb, i now have to publish entire site to local folder and upload entire site via iweb SEO (which must be done anyways to add/keep meta's and titles but i haven't assingened them yet)  this overrights my real website, but is ALOT more time consuming everytime i want to make some small changes, HOW DO I FIX THIS???/
    ive read of renaming the site in the ftp setup in iweb to your "default" page but i can't figure that out.  Any pointers would be so appricitated THANKS

  • IMovie HD saved project in older version of iMovie.  Now can't open/find it

    Working on an iMovie HD slideshow. Saved it although had a warning that older versions could not open it. Since I only have iMovie HD, I assumed no problem. Now I cannot open the file. Received WARNING
    ' The project “___” was saved with an older version of iMovie. Opening it in this version will cause it to be upgraded, which will make it unreadable by older versions. ' Seems like my project was moved to iMovie Trash.
    Questions:
    (1) Can I retreive my project? If yes, how?
    (2) What happened to my IMovie HD and how do I get it back?
    Appreciate your help.

    Sorry I misunderstood about there being a conversion, Steve.
    Let's back up a bit. There are some things here that sound very strange, including that the project contains no project file with a tilde in its name.
    Were you ever able to save the project successfully? If so, iMovie should have created a tilde file as a backup to your project file "aaa.iMovieProj". If the tilde file doesn't exist, that suggests there's some underlying problem that's causing a failure to save the project to disk.
    Let's set aside that project for a moment. Use iMovie to create a new project on the same disk. In the Finder, choose Show Package Contents. (There will be no tilde file in the package for the project hasn't yet been saved.)
    Drag the file "aaa.iMovieProj" onto the TextEdit icon in the Dock. The first few lines should look like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
    Is that what yours looks like?
    Close the TextEdit window containing the project file. Back in iMovie, save the project. Now a tilde file should appear inside the package.
    Did iMovie save okay? Did the tilde file appear?
    Try adding images to this project, then save. Did it save okay?
    Quit iMovie. Re-launch iMovie. Did the project open successfully?
    The only possible cause that occurs to me is that the disk the project resides on isn't formatted correctly. iMovie requires the Mac OS Extended disk format. If you are storing the project on an external disk make sure the disk has the proper format. More about that here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1852869#1852869
    You might also try discarding the iMovie preference file "com.apple.iMovie.plist", located in the Username/Library/Preferences folder. Be sure to quit iMovie before trashing it.

  • Moved iphoto, now can't edit photo

    I recently switched jobs and moved from one mac to another.  In preparring to leave my old job, I dragged my iphoto library from my pictures folder on to an external harddrive.  When I arrived at my new job, I dragged the iphotos library to the pictures folder and was ready to boogy.  First problem was an error that said the library had been edited by a later version of iphoto and therefore couldn't be opened.  So I bought the iphoto from ilife 11.  Then it said it needed updatingl so i did.  After that, I could see my thumbnails, but when i double click on a photo, it gives me a triangle with an exclaimation point in it. 
    I've done the option+command to rebuild, no good.  I've looked for the 'originals' folder to try to relink everything, but i can't find that...
    I know dragging and dropping sounds goofy, but it's exactly what i did when i moved my iphoto library from my laptop to the desktop at work and it worked perfectly.  Help!  Thanks!
    Sarah

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • My card is empty and attempted to be used, I now can't use my iTunes gift card until the card stops being declined

    I'm 16 and I work a summer job, recently I've run out of money on the card associated with my Apple ID. I did however receive an iTunes gift card for Christmas. I redeemed the card and went to make a purchase, this is where my problem begun. Apple attempted to use my CC instead of the iTunes Giftcard
    , so it declined my card of course. Now I can't make any purchases or downloads/updates because it says there was an issue with my last purchase. So I am redirected to my info where I fill in my security code etc. on my card and then I hit done and get the message "your payment method was declined, please select another payment method". Under the section labeled "Payment Methods" it is completely empty. No gift cards or anything, so I can't select and other payment method, or even de-select my CC. I'm tired of this and it's angering me, I've searched for solutions and have tried them and nothing seems to work. Please help!

    What store are you trying to purchase in? If its a U.S. card - you have to use it in the U.S. store.
    Go to Settings>General>International>Region Format>United States. Then go to Settings>Store>Tap your Apple ID. Tap View Apple ID. Enter your password. Go to country/region and make sure that you are in the U.S. store in there.
