Aha! Workaround for site corruption in iWeb '06 '08 updates

I think I have found a workaround for a problem that's been plaguing me and no doubt other people who've bought iWeb '08 and used it to update an older site from iWeb '06 (skip to bottom for solution). This is relevant even after the 2.0.1 update that Apple shipped today.
My iWeb project contains multiple sites, which I use to group photo albums. I found repeatedly that after I updated the site, made a change, and saved the project, a lot of the bitmap image files needed for pages with photo albums or other graphical embellishments were just gone from the project. Looking into the Domain.sites package (Finder: Show Package Contents) confirmed this - all the .jpg, .png files etc. just got trashed the first time I did a save (although the pages all looked ok after the upgrade but before the save!)
At first I thought that the last site added to my multi-site project was spared at the expense of other 'sites' visible in the sidebar. Then I realized that only pages that had been viewed in iWeb after the update were spared! Generally I would view the pages in the bottom/last site as these were the ones I was currently working on - and these were spared.
So I did an experiment - I opened (yet another) copy of my iWeb '06 backup in iWeb '08, and after the update but before saving I clicked on every page (thereby viewing it) in the whole site - and I have around 50 pages in about ten sites. Then I made a change to a single page, and saved the project. The fact that I had viewed all the pages seemed to make the problem go away! There were no missing photos or embedded bitmaps!
*So the short version of the problem is:* any pages that have not been viewed within iWeb after updating a Domain.sites file (what I call the project) from '06 to '08 will have all associated bitmap image files deleted.
*The solution:* immediately after updating the site, and before making any edits or saving, you must click on the sidebar entry for every page in the whole project (to view it in the editing window). In my case this meant also clicking on every entry of a blog, to display it.
Conclusion: there must be some book-keeping of the database that supports iWeb that is not synchronized with the persistent store on disk unless a page is actually viewed.
Hope this works for others, and that Apple gets a proper fix out ASAP. The 2.0.1 update issued today did not fix the problem for me - only the above workaround did.

Hi Rick,
Sounds like my story, too. I have had some time to experiment on two different Macs (one G4 and one MacBook Pro). After losing the formatting and photos on one Mac after upgrading, I decided that I was going to test some theories on the other Mac prior to upgrading to iWeb '08. This is what I found - and what worked:
Test 1:
MacBookPro on iLife '06. I upgraded to iLife '08. I opened iWeb and noted that it did not recognize my original domain: iWeb '08 asked me to locate it or create a new one. I selected "choose" and selected the domain that I had created in iWeb '06 (user/library/application support/iweb). The site opened, performed the required update and opened up. I noticed immediately that some of the photos did not appear on some of the pages. Each time iWeb '08 was closed and reopened, more photos, sometimes different photos, would disappear. All that would remain was a grey placecard with a question mark in the middle (and the warning that the links were now missing). I even went as far as putting the photos back into position, saving and closing iWeb '08. But when I opened iWeb '08 again, the photos were missing...again.
I rebuilt the entire site.
Test 2:
Powerbook G4 on iLife '06. BEFORE updating to iLife '08, I used the original iWeb '06 to publish the entire site to a local folder on my HD (as a security measure). Next, I created a copy of my domain (another security measure) and moved the original domain from 'user/library/application support/iweb' to my desk top. I then proceeded to upgrade to iLife '08. After upgrading, I opened iWeb '08 and received the notification that iWeb '08 needed to either create a domain or I needed to choose a domain. Since I moved my domain out of 'library/application support/iweb', I elected to create a new domain and saved it to the same location (library/application support/iweb).
The new domain was created, iWeb '08 opened, I selected a template, then saved it and closed the program.
Using Finder, I examined the new domain just created by iWeb '08. Using the 'get info' command, I noticed that the new domain has the extension ".sites2." The original domain created in iWeb '06 has the extension ".sites."
I took my original iWeb '06 domain and used the finder "get info" command to manually change the extension from ".sites" to ".sites2." I got the warning asking me if I was sure I wanted to use ".sites2," and I selected yes, use ".sites2."
Using the (original) domain just modified in the last step, now with the extension ".sites2", I inserted it into the 'user/library/application support/iweb' folder, replacing the domain file created during the start up of iWeb '08.
I then opened iWeb '08.
After a brief moment, iWeb '08 opened my domain revealing all four of my original web sites, complete and intact. After iWeb '08 updated the domain, I saved it, closed iWeb '08 and reopened it a few times before I was satisfied that EVERYTHING was working fine.
In conclusion, I found that by changing the domain (created in iWeb '06) file extension to ".sites2", I was able to use iWeb '08 to successfully open it, complete and intact.
I hope you may still have the opportunity to try this on your Mac. I also hope that you have good results.
Cheers, Bryan

Site created on iWeb '08, but now only appears online, NOT in iWeb

I created a site on iWeb 08 and published it to web.me.com and to a folder (just in case!)
The site's currently viewable online, BUT now it's not in iWeb as one of my sites, so I can't make changes.
Anyone know if I can drag the site back into iWeb?

Welcome to the discussions. No, you can't drag the published site back into iWeb — only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. 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.
See also these Apple docs:
_iWeb ’08: Backing up your Domain file_
Recovering items using Time Machine and Spotlight
But Spotlight does not look in all areas of the hard drive. Download and run Find File to search for ".sites2".
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:

Editing a site created with Iweb - with another program

Hello,
I built a website for a friend and he wants to be able to make small changes on it from time to time and I downloaded a WYSIWYG editor and none of them are compatible with sites created with Iweb...
Does anyone have any suggestions? He runs a windows machine.
Thank you so much!!!

Well, not really. A lot of people have their sites built for them and then, with a little guidance, can change out photos, or do a little editing here and there. So your idea certainly has merit.
The problem is, iWeb is a unique html generator. It stores everything you create in the application in a single file, (Domain.sites2), and only the application itself can open this file for editing. iWeb doesn't even create the html until you publish the site, either to a folder or to an Apple server. iWeb also changes many things into .png files--including text--believe it or not, in a well intentioned effort to cross platform better with other browser applications. So even simple text editors, which would normally be fine for changing small things in most websites, will struggle.
Your idea was a good one; it is iWeb that isn't a good candidate for it.
You must therefore now convince this person to become an Apnewbie, and buy a Mac!

Help - 1st time downloading apps

Hi, I am trying to download a free app for the very 1st time. When I tap install, I was prompt to sign and then eventually to supply by CC details. Is this a normal procedure, even with free apps?

You can also create an iTunes account without a cc... http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534

I keep getting message "mozila Firefox not responding." It takes minutes to down load a site - some times it just gets in a loop and never down loads. Then when I try to click on it again screen goes opaque and i get the same message.

For the 1st time I am trying to send an iPhoto by email but get an error message "combinations of username and password not recognised" I use the same details to log on to my Sky Mail (yahoo mail ) account . Any ideas?

For the 1st time I am trying to send an iphoto by e-mail but get the error message " combination of username and password not recognised by the server" I use Sky Mail ( yahoo mail) and input the same username and password that I access Sky Mail - have retried many times. Predictably the Sky help desk have no idea. Can anyone help please?

I regret that you're having trouble setting up your email, corbad! You're on the right track with your incoming email address. You might also try incoming.verizon.net or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net as possible alternatives, and 995 as the port number. Please let me know how that goes!

How to sync iPad with apps for 1st time to iTunes?

Hi -
Can't find the answer to this question directly, hence posting it here.
My nephew's iPad has many apps , and photos, and he has never synced it to iTunes. He want's me to help him. I'm reasonably familiar with both iPad and iTunes.
However - I'm worried that when he connects to iTunes for the 1st time he will have the iPad wiped clean by the empty iTunes session.
I have searched high and low but can't find a reassuring set of steps to follow.
Hence I would be very grateful to anyone who can point to complete, thorough online instructions, or offer them yourself, on what _precisely_ I must do to get his iPad synced to a new iTunes session for the very first time, without loosing the iPad content.
We need to upgrade the OS badly (its the OS released from the shop purchase).
thanks, for what is probably a question asked with a thoursand variations.
Kind regards,
Kevin Nolan,
Dublin, Ireland.
PS: Apple - if you readt this - iTunes and syncing is a very tricky to handle, with potential dire consequences if you do it wrong even once. At a minimum, please offer greater felxibility and more detailed tutorials across various troubleshooting scenarios such as mine

Thank you both for your time and responses
roaminggnome - my nephew was 10 when he got it and his family are not particularly computer savy. It didn't occur to them that syncing was such a priority. Thanks for the pointer to Apple feedback - I'll post my suggestion to them (I'm sure they've received it many times before!)
Demo - that other thread looks absolutley excellent and your detailed instructions there look spot on - thank you.
Thanks to you both again - genuinely appreciated.
Cheers,
Kevin.

I have an IPOD touch 4th generation. When I try to go and buy apps from Itunes and App store it askes for ssecurity codes because it is the 1st time using it. can not remember. How do I reset it or find them?

I have an IPOD touch 4th generation. When I try to buy apps from apps store and Itunes it says this is the 1st time doing it so wants me to answer security questions. Granddaughter put 2 in the ipod but can't remember them. how do i either change them so I know what they are or just take them out again?

Strange; yesterday there was a link via which you could get a reset email sent, but today that link is missing. So if you've forgotten your answers, there is no way around the problem without involving Apple. Go here:

to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes. I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need. It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

No Suitable Items found for PO (error M8035) while doing MIRO against service PO for the 1st time in the Company Code

Hi
I am encountering the error M8035 (" No Suitable Items found for PO ") while I am doing MIRO for the 1st time against service POs (item cat - D) in a company code.
in OMSY the period opened for the company code is : Current 06 2014 previous 05 2014
This was done because Go Live date for the new company code is 01.06.2014.
I am doing test in the test client now.
I have created a vendor on today's date
I have created a service PO on today's date (GR, GR Bsd IV, IR, Serv Bsd IV - these indicators are marked in the PO)
I have created service entry sheet on today's date (acc assignment - K, G/L a/c was determined from the Material Group maintained in the PO)
I have accepted the service entry sheet on 04.05.2014 (FI doc posted against the matl doc - KBS to WRX on 04.05.2014)
I am trying to do the MIRO in the same company code on 04.05.2014.
While I am putting the PO and its line item in MIRO item and pressing enter system shows the above info msg and nothings is appearing in MIRO item.
I have tried to do MIRO against service entry sheet also - same things happened.
I have tried selecting Goods Service Item+planned del cost in MIRO - nothing changed.
I have tried posting MIRO against a non service PO (acc assgnment K, Item cat - BLANK) after doing MIGO in the same company code in the same date- PO is appearing in that case.
FI people are able to post FB60 manually for the vendor I am using in the PO - so there is no problem in the vendor also.
I have gone through the scn post related with the topic, unfortunately none of them solved my problem.
Please help
Thanks
Sanjib...

Can you post a screen shot for PO history ?

'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE' takes more time for creating material document for the 1st time

Hi Experts,
I am doing goods movement using BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE in my custom code.
Then there is some functional configuration such that, material documents and TR and TO are getting created.
Now I need to get TO and TR numbers from LTAK table passing material documnt number and year, which I got from above used BAPI.
The problem I am facing is very strange.
Only for the 1st time, I am not finding TR and TO values in LTAK table. And subsequent runs I get entries in LTAK in there is a wait time of 5 seconds after bapi call.
I have found 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE' takes more time for creating material document with similar issue, but no solution or explanation.
Note 838036 says something similar, but it seems obsolete.
Kindly share your expertise and opinions.
Thanks,
Anil

Hi,
please check if some of following OSS notes are not valid for your problem:
[Note 838036 - AFS: Performance issues during GR with ref. to PO|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/838036]
[Note 391142 - Performance: Goods receipt for inbound delivery|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/391142]
[Note 1414418 - Goods receipt for customer returns: Various corrections|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1414418]
The other idea is not to commit each call, but executing commit of packages e.g. after 1000 BAPI calls.
But otherwise, I am afraid you can not do a lot about performance of standard BAPI. Maybe there is some customer enhancement which is taking too long inside the BAPI, but this has to be analysed by you. To analyse performance, just execute your program via tr. SE30.
Regards
Adrian

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
