Old iWeb and Tiger to iWeb '09 and Snow Leopard - can I salvage my site?

I recently updated my operating system from Tiger to Snow Leopard. In the process I had to re-format my hard drive and so all of my data was lost, including my iWeb files (which were created on the original version of iWeb starting in 2006). I have backups, but when I just copied files onto an external hard drive I wasn't able to tell to which ones comprise my web site, and the Backups I made on Tiger don't seem to be recognized by Time Machine. Is it possible for me to salvage my web site from the backups and copied files that I have? How can I go about this? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, and happy new year!

Ethmoid, I appreciate your patience with me. The problem is that the backups made using the Backup software on my Tiger system is that they don't contain recognizable files of that kind. For example, the last backup I made specifically of my iWeb site contains only a folder called "Contents." It contains four items: a file called "backup.log.gz" and one called "Info.Plist.strings," a folder called "Backup.catalog" (containing two files, one called "cat" and one called "stat0") and another folder called "Contents" (with just one file called "Backup.sparseimage"). Any idea if any of this is possibly any good to me? Thanks again. Scott

  • I have a desktop Mac OS X Leopard. I want to upgrade to Quicken 2007, Install Snow Leopard and download iLife '11. I heard that Quicken and Snow Leopard can clash and have problems.  What would be the best order for installing these products. Thank You.

    I have a desktop MAC OSX Leopard. I want to upgrade to Quicken 2007, install Snow Leopard, download iLife'11.  I heard that Quicken and Snow Leopard can clash..........that is why I am upgrading Quicken. What would be the best order of installing these products.  I have gotten defferent opinions and I want to be sure I install them correctly.
    Thank You.

    First, install OS X, then install your third-party software.
    How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
    A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
    Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
      1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
      5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Destination entry field.
      6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Source entry field.
      7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal
    startup drive.
    C. Important: Please read before installing:
      1. If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the
          update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it.
          Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've
          restarted.
      2. You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system
           software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through
           other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
      3. The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other
          interruption occurs during  installation, use the standalone installer (see below)
          from Apple Downloads to update.  While the installation  is in progress do not use
          the computer.
    D. To upgrade:
    Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
    Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
          1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
          2. Restart the computer.
          3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
          4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
              logo appears.
          5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
          6. Follow instructions.
    After installing Snow Leopard you should update it by downloading and installing Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • MBA old gen. and Snow Leopard - TIFF images seen as blank in some web pages

    After I upgraded to Snow Leopard, I see blank the TIFF images displayed in some web sites, like for example any patent image in the www.uspto.gov web site.
    This happens on both Safari and Firefox. They both use the QuickTime plugin (I have version 7.6.3).
    However, if I drag and drop the TIFF image and save it in the local hard drive, local applications like Preview display the page correctly.
    It seems to be an issue with QuickTime and possibly the MacBook model (I have a first generation MacBook Air, with the GMA X3100 Intel graphic card).
    Has anybody experienced this bug?

    Any patent image in the www.upsto.gov web site. For example, this link goes to the first page of the U.S. Patent 161,739 Improvement in Transmitters and Receivers for Electric Telegraphs by A.G. Bell:

  • LR 3.2, Mac Pro and Snow Leopard, can't choose catalog-storage locations now?

    Sorry if this a repeat ad-nauseum posting, but I did a search and found only Win7 solutions, so here it goes:
    I just got my new Mac Pro all set up, and when I went to LR 3.2's Prefs and Catalog Settings I don't see a choice any more on where I can keep all my .lrcat files.  On my G5, I used one of my external drives for all of my Lightroom catalogs and would still like to use the same folder so I don't keep loading up my system drive>Users folder where LR seems to want to put the cats.  Can we not choose the location any more?  I hope this isn't true.

    Thanks, Sean.  All of my drives are Mac OS Extended (Journaled), didn't change anything since moving them from my G5 to the Mac Pro setup except take two storage drives out of my Firmtek enclosure and put them in the Mac Pro.  Those are the drives that I have my old LR Cats folder.

  • ICal 4.0 and Snow Leopard: can't add / edit / delete events + workaround

    Hi,
    iCal 4.0 under 10.6.1, any changes I made in iCal was reversed when I quit and reopened iCal. Plus my changes didn't sync to my iPod.
    When looking at the Console.app, I saw:
    2009/09/15 13:31:51 iCal[11918] save failed: Error Domain=CalCalendarStorePersistenceErrorDomain Code=1 UserInfo=0x115d4c780 "The end date can’t be set to occur before the start date. Change the end or start date." {
    NSLocalizedDescription = "The end date can\U2019t be set to occur before the start date. Change the end or start date.";
    I tried to export / delete / import all my calendars, that didn't help. Then I noticed I also have the calendar automatically generated for the birthdays from my address book.
    I unchecked "Show Birthdays calendar" from the General preferences. Now iCal works again (I can add / edit / delete events and the error message doesn't show in the Console.app anymore)
    Cheers,

    I have updated my OS to 10.9 hoping this to fix my problem.... but nothing... It's still the same....

  • Best practice for iCloud across Lion and Snow Leopard

    Hi all,
    I'm not going to bleat about SL not supporting iCloud. I understand the business model.
    However, I'm wondering if any of you are in the same shoes as me and, if so, how you handle content management across iCloud compatible and incompatible devices.
    I have Lion on our 6month old iMac and Snow Leopard on my 6 year old Macbook.  This Macbook is still incredibly fast and reliable. I program websites across both devices using software like Coda 2, Transmit, etc etc...
    I'm a huge fan of the cloud and, while I can use dropbox on all my devices, I kinda like the inbuilt functionality of iCloud more.  (Plus I have more space there). Just wondering what workflows people are using to try and sync and work with content across compatible and incompatible devices.
    Cheers,

    There are some hacks to using iCloud with Snow Leopard. One of the keys is you must use iCloud as your primary source for Contacts and Calendars. That is, when you want to make additions or changes to either your calendar or contacts you really MUST do it from the web interface to iCloud. Otherwise you may wind up with duplicates.

  • Final Cut Suite 1 and Snow Leapard - Can't install

    Final Cut Suite 1 and Snow Leopard - Can't install
    "Your computer doesn't have the required hardware to run this software, see Read Me for details."
    I take a look at the 'Before You Install' file, since there is no 'read me' file and it's hardware requirements are basically ancient for what this computer has.
    I assumed that Final Cut Suite 1 was simply too old for Snow Leapard, but my searches are not hitting in Goggle or here at the FCP Forums.
    Any ideas would be great, thanks for your time!
    -Monty

    What is the Final Cut Pro version included in your Studio 1 suite?
    If it is a 5.0.x version, then it is Power PC only. That version will install on an Intel based Mac but exhibit some odd quirks. In short, it was incompatible to start with.
    A 5.1.x version should [at least in theory|http://snowleopard.wikidot.com>, work without problems.

  • I just got the new macbook pro about 2 weeks ago, it has lion. When the new mountain lion comes this summer, can i just update it on my macbook pro since it isn't so old? And if i can update it, do i have to pay, or is it a free update?

    I'm in the same position, the store said they didn't know of any new release, so i bought my macbook pro to find out about mountain lion. I really hope that i'm not going to pay for the upgrade. New to apple, also last month bought my Ipad 3, really thought that Airplay would have been on my book pro, nope, waste of time.........need that update to use it. Back i the box then, get the windows 7 ultimate pro back out until then.

  • In limbo between Leopard and Snow Leopard - stupidly didn't back up

    I've got an old-school black MacBook, about four years old now. I never cared enough to upgrade it to Snow Leopard, but now I want Lion. So, I borrowed my parents' five-license Snow Leopard install disc and started off on the journey to upgrade to Snow Leopard, download the App Store update, then download and install Lion. I didn't get far.
    First, let me say that I didn't back up my hard drive. Like an idiot. Yes, I know it was stupid, so there's no need to say anything. My previous installs (a few clean re-installs) have gone without a hitch, so I figured I'd trust Apple and just run the installation without backing up. Dumb.
    The Snow Leopard installation started fine, but was interrupted when the installer said the install failed. Restart, try again. Booting from the install DVD, things seemed to be going fine a second time around -- picked my language, got to the install set-up screen, picked Macintosh HD as my installation drive. And then things stopped working. The installer said my HD could not be written to and that it needed repair. So I went to Disk Utility to try that. Repair Disk wasn't available, so I clicked Verify Disk. That got interrupted when it said the disk needed to be repaired, after which the Repair Disk button was clickable. Tried to repair, but apparently my HD is screwed beyond the capabilities of Disk Utility.
    I tried to reboot the MacBook from the HD, which Disk Utility said still had Leopard running on it. The computer wouldn't boot up. Safe Boot didn't work. So, without any other real options, I thought I'd try my luck by just trying the install again. Booted up from the install DVD, and ran into the same issues. Didn't magically fix itself, of course. So my MacBook is stuck in limbo between Leopard and Snow Leopard, won't boot from the HD and won't let me repair the disk when booted from the DVD. What do I do?
    I plan to try a couple third-party disk-utility programs tomorrow (8/25/11) to recover the files on my HD. There's not much I care about on there (just some iPhone photos and my resume, really), so doing a clean wipe of the HD and installing Snow Leopard is an option. But I'd of course rather be able to recover my personal files. Is this possible at this point?
    Another question I have regarding a clean wipe: If I end up having to clean off the HD and lose all my data, I'll lose the iTunes configuration for my iPhone. Will iTunes be able to import my apps and settings from my phone if I plug it in?
    Thank you very much.

  • Current Status of Creative Suite 3 and Snow Leopard?

    I currently have both CS3 Web Design Premium (which includes Photoshop) and Adobe InDesign CS3... both suites essentially comprising all the apps and features of the standard CS3 Suite plus web design.
    I know this has been discussed before, but I am assuming that further additional testing and usage has continued... and problems are being solved or not.  And in the end an overall opinion or judgment has been reached regarding upgrading Leopard to Snow Leopard.  I've been waiting it out to see what the outcome would be.
    My Mac is the intel chip 24" Alum.  3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Is the CS3 suite compatible with Snow Leopard?  If not, what will be the cost or loss in terms of the applications?  And, is it worth upgrading to it?
    Experienced and knowledgeable feedback is very welcomed and appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks.. have decided not to touch it.  You make this kind of investment into software, you are not looking to have to compromise with erratic unpredictable software which in turn burns your time and patience.
    Adobe's position is definitely unfortunate unfriendly and unappreciative.  It's the arrogance towards what they have developed and a denial of the kind of investment it took to get into their software.  The least they could have done was to offer a generous discount for upgrading. 
    Thanks for taking the time to respond. And here's to don't fix what's not broken

    Subject: Current Status of Creative Suite 3 and Snow Leopard?
    CS 3 is sort of compatible, but if you are using CS 3 for your livelihood, then stay with Leopard.
    For example, Photoshop CS 3 functions adequately for a time, but ultimately starts to show erractic errors, then crashes. Also, excessive memory usage builds the longer it is used.
    Adobe has stated it only supports CS 4 and 5 with Snow Leopard. I doubt further modifications will be made by Adobe to CS 3 to iron out the Snow Leopard incompatibilities. Rather unfortunate position, and certainly not a customer friendly approach, especially for anyone investing over $1,000 for software only 3 years old.
    To add further fuel to the fire, CS 3 apps now crash in 10.6.3 due to Serial Number/API changes, "unforseen" by all parties.

  • 2008 iMac and Snow Leopard

    My parents bought a new 20 in iMac this February with a ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro Graphics Card. It was their first Mac previously having used PC's. I was looking at the Snow Leopard specs last night, as they will ask whether they should get it and it clearly says that Open CL will only work with the ATI Radeon 4850, Radeon 4870 or more recent NVIDIA cards used in the iMacs introduced this year.
    I was a bit shocked at this, surely there must be some mistake. OK my 5 year old G5 won't run Leopard, but to find that a six month old iMac won't run a core Leopard component is, well, not very impressive. So Leopard will boost your Mac's performance but only if you bought it this year. I have to admit I'm beginning to wonder about Apple.
    Can anyone tell me whether Snow Leopard will boost performance on this iMac at all?

    OpenCL is not a "core" Mac OS X component. All it does is allows developers to use a Mac's graphics hardware (the GPU) to do some non-graphics processing in certain situations, basically off-loading some types of work from the CPU. But the primary purpose of the GPU is to accelerate graphics processing, and Snow Leopard supports the OpenGL every bit as well as Leopard. Also, to take advantage of OpenCL, developers have to figure out where they can apply it, and recode their applications to use this new capability. That's going to take time.
    Therefore, Snow Leopard will immediately make your parent's iMac run better, more efficiently, in many ways not related to OpenCL, due to the different areas of optimization. Lack of support for OpenCL does not make that iMac any slower when upgraded to Snow Leopard, it just just a non-factor, something that does not apply. There will be no impact from OpenCL even on supported Macs until developers learn how to use this capability and update their apps.
    It is the same as any improvement Apple makes from one generation of iMac to the next. The 2008 iMac supports 4GB of RAM (officially), the 2009 iMac supports 8GB of RAM. The 2008 iMac can connect a 24-inch second display, the 2009 iMac can connect a 30-inch second display. The 2009 iMac has larger hard drive storage options. And so on...

  • Airport Extreme and Snow Leopard

    Hi All,
    Hello from Brazil. I just got a new 17" MacBook Pro with the intel Core i7 processor, and Snow Leopard 10.6.4. Love it! Very fast, low heat, and good battery life.
    I am trying to set up my old Airport Extreme MB053LL/A base station, but the install disc is not supported on SL. I have all the latest updates from Apple support but it still won't work. Is there a workaround for this? Thanks in advance

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for responding. I have figured out it is not a problem with the Airport software, but with the DSL modem and the Airport base station. I have the base connected to the modem in the "wan" port as directed, but when I attempt to connect to it using the Airport setup utility, it doesn't recognize it. It "scans" but does not see it.
    I previously had this base station connected to a cable modem on my wife's Macbook and it worked fine. I recently relocated to Brazil and I am wondering if the frequency the base station uses might be the problem. I think I will try resetting the modem as described in the trouble shooting section. If that doesn't work I guess I am sunk. I know my wireless card is working because I can see some other networks here in my neighborhood, and even was able to connect to one that was not secured. Everyone here uses PC. Some of the folks here have never even heard of the Mac!

  • No screen sharing between Leopard and Snow Leopard

    A buddy just bought a new 27 inch iMac after the screen on his old iMac (running Leopard) died. We had no problems screen sharing when he was using the old Mac, but with the new iMac running Snow Leopard, he can screen share with me but I can't screen share with him....at least, iChat says I am sharing my screen with him, but he can't see anything. It must be an issue with Snow Leopard, since when he opened iChat on his MacBook running 10.5, he was immediately able to view my screen.
    Any thoughts, anyone? Cheers!!!

    Hi,
    A Bit for other reading this thread.
    To change the Login port for any AIM based name you have to obviously Log out first and then Change the port (SSL might need to be selected first) and then Press Enter to "Set" the port.
    This use of the Enter key is the bit that is different to earlier versions of iChat.
    For Gary,
    Which Thomson-Alcatel device do you have ?
    Thomson-Alcatel Speedtouches used to work well when the firmware that ran them was at Version 4.2.5 or less.
    At least at this level you could access the device via Terminal using Telnet and then access the Command Line Interface (CLI) and "Unbind" SIP from port 5060
    Later versions of their Firmware did not allow for a full Unbind of SIP and Video and Audio chats could only be partially successful (about 15 buddies out a list of 50
    Of course using UPnP to open ports for iChat 4 helps with the Screen Sharing as the process is an Screen Share with an Audio Chat along side and both have to work/connect.
    I am surprised to hear that in iChat 5 that Screen Sharing is not working when Video and Audio chats are.
    For this reason I would ask how the ports have been opened in the Thomson device ?
    After that I would keen to know if the Thomson Device or the Time Capsule is doing DHCP to the LAN ?
    (Share an IP on the Time capsule is to Enable DHCP)
    I am not sure how AT&T expect anyone to use their site to gain help or see what they currently offer when you have to type in a phone number or area (ZIP code).
    I did enter the example number and got to this set of pages http://www.att.com/esupport/main.jsp?cv=801#
    I see no reference to any Thomson-Alcatel device.
