Publish on new computer

I had a serious computer crash in november and needed data retrieval(successful) . I have bought a new G5 and now realise that my web site published on iweb using my previous computer and hosted by mobile me, is not accesible to me to work on. Apple support got me through the process of migrating the web site "domain" onto my new version of iweb on my new machine but even though it is viewable and I can edit it, I am then unable to publish it as I get a warning that Mobile me isnt communicating with iweb. Is this because the original site was constructed using an older version of iweb and if so is there a way round it. Or do I have to start to build the site all over again.
Any help much appreciated

B ~ It sounds like your new version of iWeb has successfully opened the Domain file built with an older version of iWeb — so I don't think that's the problem. Try this:
"Go to MobileMe (terrible name) in System Preferences, log out. Then enter a garbage name and password and try to log in. This apparently clears the MobileMe preferences. Then enter your real UserName and PassWord." (Then try to publish.)
...Found by doing THIS.

  • New computer, how can I sync my old published iWeb page with new compuer?

    I had my old macbook stolen a year ago in Italy. I created and published an iWeb page to .mac on that computer. My problem is that I cannot figure out how I can sync my old page on .mac to my new computer so that I can continue to use it and upload pics. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Hello,
    and welcome the Apple iWeb Discussion Forum.
    Basically you can't figure it out because there is no way to get published pages back into iWeb. iWeb lacks of any html import feature. The only thing you can do is rebuild it by copying and pasting content from the published one to the rebuilt in iWeb. However for photopages that isn't a good idea, it's better to rebuild them from scratch (iPhoto).
    Be sure to make a backup of the domain.sites2 file (where iWeb stores) its files from time to time

  • Trouble publishing -  new site on new computer, want to replace old site.

    I got a new a new mac with iWeb 08 - was previously using 06. Re-built website on new computer, logged in to my account and hit publish. After loading all pages etc, got message "could not publish website". Have a feeling it may have something to do with account now being MME and not dotmac....??? I want to replace the existing website with the new one but it's not working???

    If you want everything that's on your current iPad onto the new one, then you can first copy all purchases off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. You can then backup your current iPad and restore the new iPad from that backup (a list of what is included in a backup is in this article - it excludes music, videos, synced photos). As the backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their settings and content, for the restore to work completely you'll need all the relevant apps in your computer's iTunes library - otherwise the restore won't be able to install the apps and therefore their content (which is one reason to do File > Transfer Purchases, if that doesn't copy them over then you can re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).
    The restore won't copy passwords onto a different device, so you will need to re-enter your email, router, and any website passwords onto the new iPad.
    Depending on what you want to remain on the iPad, you can then either leave it as it is or log out of your account on it (tap on it in Settings > Store) and then wipe it via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings.

  • How do I work on previously published websites on my new computer?

    I recently purchased a new iMac and have a few published websites on my old computer using iWeb. I tried to use migration assistant to transfer the data, but haven't had any luck. I want to work on my websites on the new computer, but iWeb looks blank like I don't have any published sites. Any ideas on how to transfer the information from old iWeb to new system

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What you need to transfer are the domain.sites2 file(s) from the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on the old computer to the same location on the new computer. That will get you up and running on the new computer.

  • Need to import website to new computer

    We purchased a new computer, and from the old computer we published our website to a folder thinking I could import it when we got the new computer (the old computer is now gone without grabbing the domain file that some of the posts talk about). Is there any way to get the data from either the archived folder or from our .mac account in order to resynchronize our new Mac?
    Thanks for any help!!

    TroyDon,
    Sorry for the bad news about recreating your site. Bear in mind you can drag and drop from current files as you recreate. For future backup, remember that Varkgirl has given us a great little automator app which can be downloaded free here. Use this free application to back up and store your iWeb Domain from now on.
    Emphasis on "free".

  • New computer...can I upload my iweb files? it's not working!

    I recently purchased a macbook pro and need to keep working on my website. I had created one using iweb on my previous ibook but now when I open iweb on this new computer, it won't let me open or import my files!!! I don't want to have to recreate everything.... but when I turn on iweb it just asks me to create a new page! Can anyone help?? I've been thru the help files, can't really find anything & not sure how to search for it...thank you!!
    Lindsay

    David, I realized that I didn't answer all your questions. I did the whole site in iWeb with the exception of the counter at the bottom of the pages. That is done with StatCounter which is free, and provides valuable information about how your site is being searched.
    I noticed that some (if not all) of your text has published as image files (png) rather than text. If you want people to be able to google your site, change those back into text and register with google. the following is a good forum thread detailing how to get listed by google: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=679200&tstart=0
    There are lots of good forum threads. Search for( text change png ) or something like that and you will find lots of info about how to keep text from changing to pngs.
    Good luck, David http://web.mac.com/phelpssculpture/iWeb/

  • HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer.  Have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, Help!

    My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
    My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
    Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer.  Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro.  I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty.  Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
    I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
    Can anyone help please?
    thanks in anticipation

    I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
    For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
    It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).

  • How to migrate ADE content to a new computer

    At some point, everybody needs to upgrade to a new computer.
    After reading a great many postings in this forum, it seems obvious to me that many of us would greatly benefit from some specific guidance on how to install Adobe Digital Editions and Sony Reader Library Software (and reader device) or some other e-book application on the new computer, and then move the previously purchased e-book content from the old to new computer in a way that will ensure that the e-books can still be read.
    Specifically, I think that some/better guidance needs to be provided on the sequence of steps that must be taken, and the options that should (or should not) be selected to accomplish these actions.  For example, does ADE software get installed on the new PC first, or after installing the Sony reader library (or other reader) software?  Should we authorize the new computer?  How about the portable reader devices (Sony P600), do we leave the content on these or will we need to reload it?  Is there a way to ensure the Adobe ID for both SW applications (ADE & Sony Library) are the same so we don't get new or different ID assigned? Will a reader device (which may already contain ebook content) be recognized and automatically resynch with the new computer? and can it move its content from reader to PC, or must the purchased content first be loaded onto the new PC from the old PC, and then be moved (again) to the reader device?
    I can't help but think that answers to these (and many other) questions could be far more easily communicated by proactively publishing some basic (if general) procedures for accomplishing common actions like these, rather than repeatedly providing help to each of us after we have already done the wrong thing.  While technical help is always greatly appreciated, and it may be easier to address a specific problem, it is more effective to provide information that will help us avoid the problem in the first place, and thus reduce the case load and improve response time.
    If I were sufficiently knowledgable to be capable of providing this general guidance myself, I would certainly do so, but count me among the ignorant masses that are simply trying to buy, download, and read their e-books without rendering all their purchased content inaccesible.  I certainly wouldn't want to inadvertently provide misinformation that might cause even greater problems.
    In short, I think that all of us (forum readers) would greatly like to have some simple instructions presented on what to do, (or not to do), to initially set up our computers and to accomplish other basic functions once this has been done.
    Won't somebody with the needed expertise undertake to provide some instructions in this forum?
    Thanks (in advance) for you support.
    P.S. - Keeping purchased content on original (old) and new computers is NOT an option.

    How to migrate ADE from one computer to another:
    1.)  Ensure that your current content is authorized to an AdobeID
         In ADE select "Authorize Computer" from the "Library" menu  if it shows you your AdobeID you are good to go.
    2.) Copy files  - the files are the .epub and .pdf files in your Digital Editions folder in your Documents directory.   Alternatively you can simply copy the whole  Digital Editions folder.  If you copy the whole folder make sure you place it into your Documents directory.
    Note:  on Windows the folder names are "My Digital Editions" and "My Documents"
    3.) Install ADE on the new computer, make sure you enter in the AdobeID from step 1 and the password when asked
    The AdobeID that registred and shown (in step1) above is the same for ADE as it is for Sony EBL (the Sony desktop software) - they both pull from the same place.
    Unfortunately I don't know the steps for migrating Sony EBL.
    For the content on the reader device, you can leave them alone.

  • My new computer does not have iWeb and I can't open the files from the old computer. What can I do???

    I'm really desperate. I used to publish to a blog directly from iWeb, then I discontinued it. When I made the switch to iCloud, I wasn't worried because I knew my files would always be there. However, once I got a new computer, I transferred all the old files to an external hard drive and I thought everything would work just fine. Well, it didn't Neither can I open iWeb nor can I find my files.
    Can anyone help me please?

    New Macs have not shipped with iWeb for over 2 years and Apple has not sold or supported iWeb for at least 2 years now - Apple stopped selling it and dropped support for it when MobileMe was ditched in favour of iCloud which does not offer hosting.
    If you want iWeb, then you will need to have a look at your old installation CD's for your old Mac and see if iWeb is on these and you can then install it from there or if you don't have these CD's any longer, then you'll have no option but to purchase a copy of either iLife 09 or iLife 11 from Amazon - these boxed sets both contain iWeb 09, which is the latest version of iWeb.
    Other than this and as you have not done your blog for sometime, perhaps you should consider re-creating it from scratch with a software that is actively supported and updated - that is NOT iWeb any longer.
    You could try using WordPress, either .com or .org - .org is good if you already have hosting and you can install WordPress directly onto your server.  If you want something free, then you could use WordPress.com which is then published on the WordPress servers.
    You could also take a look at EverWeb from Rage Software, which is very new and is very like iWeb with all the extras, such as drop down menus etc.  Take a look at http://www.everwebapp.com.
    As for your files, it sounds that when you say files, these might be the published files for your site, if you went into iWeb and published them to a local folder?  This is not a backup and even if you could find these files, then iWeb will not be able to open them because it has no import facility, so cannot open an already published site - html and css files.
    What you need is your domain.sites files which can be found under your User Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
    I would cut your losses and if you don't have iWeb, then don't bother paying for software that is now outdated and unsupported - move onto to something new and re-create everything in either WordPress or EverWeb.

  • How do I maintain the configuration of my current Catalog in PSE9 when moving it to a new computer?

    While the Version Sets in my current catalog are collapsed, the version sets in the Catalog on the new computer have all become 'expanded'; this is unacceptable to me, as many of the pairs that are stacked as Version Sets have become separated.  While all of the Version Sets are "tagged", it looks as though many of the photos in the expanded sets are without tags.  Problem #2 is that the hierarchy of Keyword Tags that I currently use is lost when the Catalog is restored in the new computer's Organizer.  I currently use about 500 Keyword Tags, divided into 6 categories (i.e. People, Places, Locations, Events, Other, Bird Species).  On the new computer, the tags are alphabetized without being separated into their 6 categories.  I currently have close to 30,000 items in my Catalog, and have spent hundreds, perhaps thousands, of hours editing (and saving both the original and  edited files as  Version Sets), tagging and captioning all of my photos.  I followed the instructions previously published in "Photoshop Elements Help" regarding backup to an external hard drive and restoring the files in an empty Organizer on the new computer.  I also used the "Save Keyword Tags To File" command before the backup.  Any suggestions to remedy my two major problems would be appreciated.  I do have the intact "current" Catalog on my old computer, complete with tags and captions, collapsed version sets, and a list of Keyword Tags organized in the Hierarchy that has worked best for me.

    Hi,
    The version set information and the tag hierarchy are stored within the catalog. It sounds as though you haven't brought over the catalog from your old computer.
    The recommended way to transfer elements from one computer to a new one is to use the Backup catalog to CD, DVD or Hard Drive on your old system and then use Restore catalog from CD, DVD or Hard Drive on your new system. Is this how you did it?
    That should have preserved your version sets.

  • How can I save a website created on iweb, but that I no longer have it saved in my computer, so I can open it in my new computer and republish it ......

    How can I save a website created on iweb, but that I no longer have it saved in my computer, so I can open it in my new computer  with iweb
    and republish it on another server, since mobile me would be gone on jun 2012.

    You need the Domain.sites2 file that's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder in order to be able to manage and publish the site from another computer?
    Do you have that file? If you do copy it to the same folder on the other computer and you're ready to go.
    If not then you'll have to recreate the site from scratch.  Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site. 1

  • Transfer iWeb  content to new computer

    My G4 finally died, but before I could back up any iWeb files. I have bought a new MacPro now, and need to know if its possible to get it all back from the internet version somehow?

    Tim,
    I'm sorry....there really isn't anyway to import your
    online site back into iWeb for further editing and
    publishing. In the future, you should keep a backup
    of the Domain file if you can. This is the one file
    in which iWeb stores everything about your website.
    Best of luck to you....and congratulations on the new
    computer! I am officially jealous!
    I'm having this same problem-- I uploaded my iweb content to a pre-existing server (not .mac). since then I've had to do an erase and install (long story) and my last backup was a month ago. I downloaded all the iweb files from the site... but there's no way to restore them and get back to work?
    my question is:
    if I restore my domain file from a backup a month ago will I be able to add files created AFTER the backup? there's no "import" feature in the file menu.
    or am I just screwed?
    thanks in advance

  • IWeb site opens blank site after moving to new computer

    Hi,
    I copied my iWeb domain file to a new computer and now when I open it, it opens to a blank site as if I've never created anything before.
    To make maters worse, in the process of following advice from others and deleting preference files etc, I've messed things up to the point that my iWeb site no longer works on the original computer . However, I have used Time Machine to retrieve a copy of the domain file from three months ago (when I can be sure it was working). Problem is, I can't get it to work on either computer.
    I would appreciate any advice and direction as I've got over six years of work into this particular site.
    Message was edited by: pgreensoup

    What you need is the Domain.sites2 file from your old computer. It will be located in the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Copy it to the same folder on your new Mac replacing the domain file that is currently there.
    If you don't have a copy of that file you'll have to rebuild your site from scratch. However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing image, audio and/or video files in the published site in the reconstruction of the site.

  • Moving iWeb to a new computer

    i have just taken delivery of my new macbook pro and I want to move the maintenance of my iWeb generated web site on to the new computer - how do I do it?

    Hi Brian
    The first thing to do is launch and then quit iWeb on the new MBP, this creates a couple of folders and files.
    Next, on the PB, navigate to User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
    You are now going to copy this file to the same location on the MBP, there will already be one there (you creates it above). As long as you haven't done any work in iWeb on the MBP then you can simply Trash the existing domain file and replace it with the one from the PB.
    Now launch iWeb and you should see you old site on your new computer.
    Some might suggest moving the preference file as well:
    User/Library/Preference/com.apple.iWeb.plist
    I would just go with the domain file first and see how you do.
    Of course, if you are copying the whole of your old Home folder across then it should be there.
    Having done this, I would suggest doing a Publish All, I am not sure if any changes happen to blog naming etc when moving from PPC to Intel. Someone else felt that it might have for them.
    Will
