Publsihing iweb file to .mac
I am trying to publish an iweb podcast file to my .mac account. However I keep getting error message after I click on file> Publish to .Mac within iweb
Am I doing anything wrong?
I have setup a .mac account, but nothing else.
Can anyone help.
Someone else is having the same problem as yourself regarding publishing podcasts on this forum. Hopefully someone will come along and help you with that. I have never published podcasts before.
Second error however can be related to bandwidth. It's happen many times with me. Try clicking the PUBLISH button on the bottom left hand corner of iWeb instead of going the File > Publish to .mac way. Website says NOT FOUND because nothing has been published.
Can you check your bandwidth and see if it's OK? I am pretty sure it's that or some updating is being done in Cupertino. But that never takes too long though.

How do I Import my iWeb Files from one Mac to Another
I have iWeb files that are on one Mac and want to import to another Mac.
How do I do this with having one domain file, completely erase the other domain file that has different files?
This is BRUTAL trying to move, copy and import iWeb files between family Macs!!!You are actually better to split your domain file so that each site can be loaded individually into iWeb and published separately. See....
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebMultiplewebsites.html
You'll note from this that you can also use a third party application to handle these file and iWebsites used to have a merge function. I don't use it so I don't know if it works with the latest version of iWeb. -

Restoring iWeb website from .mac and idisk files
my hard drive on my PowerMac failed this week and was replaced.
i am trying to restore my website in iWeb on the Mac. I sync with iDisk and it appears all the content is in directories there under /web/sites/iWeb.
To start up iWeb with all files in place on my Mac, where do I need to put these files?
Thanks,
Jeremy
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2.5 GB RAMJ....
all of the iWeb files are saved in a file called DOMAIN on your hard disk. You find it here.
harddisk/users/username/library/application support/iweb/domain
THIS is the file you have to back up after you publish or save your site. If your hard disk crashes again, just put the copy into the folder of this path and reopen iweb.
The post above about recopying the files into iWeb is right. It's not iWeb's fault that your disk crashed. Any program data that wasn't backed up, regardless of the application, was lost when that disk crashed.
I know this isn't what you needed to hear bro, but I hope it helps for the future.

How to transfer iweb files to my new mac?
I saved the folder I published to, and transferred it to my new mac, but it won't open in iweb on the new computer. There seems to be no option to "save as" in the iweb on the old computer, so I can't find where the iweb files are to transfer them. Can anyone help?
Ta
DI hope you still have your old mac!!! It sounds like you do...
Your iWeb data is stored, not in your actual html files, but in a file called Domain.sites which is stored in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. You should backup this file whenever you make big changes to your site, because if it gets lost or damaged, you will have to start all over. If you want to work on your site on another computer, copy this file to a thumb drive to move it around.
I have an Automator app on my site that will help you backup your Domain file(s). http://iweb.aardvarkland.com -
Bought New Mac - Lost iWeb files
I recently bought a new G5. Before I disconnected my old G4 I verified all my iWeb sites and files were uploaded to my .mac acct.
Now, when I access iWeb in my new G5 I don't have my sites listed in the menu on the left side. How do I get iWeb to retrieve my files from .mac so I can continue working again?
Thanks to all.I hope you still have your old Mac...
Your iWeb data is stored, not in your actual html files, but in a file called Domain.sites which is stored in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. If you want to work on your site on another computer, copy this file to a thumb drive to move it around.
You should backup this file whenever you make big changes to your site, because if it gets lost or damaged, you will have to start all over. Sadly, many many people learn this the hard way.
I have an Automator app on my site that will help you backup your Domain file(s). Click here to download it or visit http://iweb.varkgirl.com for more info. The app will make a .zip file of your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and save it to a location of your choosing.
Then check out Mozy for an online place to store your backups - I just found this and it seems great. They just recently released a Mac friendly version of their app - it automates the upload and encryption. You select the files you want to backup and it does the rest. You can set it to upload automatically after so many minutes of inactivity or once a day. It does it all in the background so you don't have to worry about it! 2GB of storage are free - plenty of room for most people's iWeb Domain.sites backups!
Disclaimer: By clicking the aforementioned link to Mozy, which has my referral code in it, you earn yourself (and me) 256MB of extra storage space. If you don't want that to happen, just go directly to http://www.mozy.com and sign up that way. Either way, you will find a great service! :) -
Transfer my current iWeb file to my new mac
Greetings all, i would like to transfer my current iWeb file to my new laptop, anyone able to help to advise?
Cheers!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.
To open your domain file in Lion or 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.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
Just launch the application, 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.
You can download an already compiled 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 had a drive failure and lost the iWeb file along with other things.
I did manage to save a lot of user file documents but I don't see or
recognize the iWeb site file. It was on a 15" G4 Titanium pb.
I'm trying to find a way, using version 2.0.4 of iWeb on a different
pb to recover the file into the iWeb app or a way to download the site into iWeb.
There are 6 pages of images and text, and it
would be a task for me to recreate the whole thing again. I did
download the site but I don't know how or if I can get iWeb to see it and open it.
Does anyone have any knowledge about this? The link to my site:
<http://web.mac.com/danauerbach>
Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

[email protected]Unfortunately iWeb cannot read or import previously published files, only generate them. You'll have to recreate your site from scratch.
However, 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.

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!!
LindsayDavid, 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/

Can I transfer my iWeb files to new iMac running Yosemite
I have recently purchased a new iMac running Yosemite 10.10.2. I have a set of iWeb files that I was working on but had not yet published as a website on my old iMac which is running OS X 10.5.8. Is it possible to transfer these files to the new mac? I can't find any iWork or iLife files in the Applications folder on my new mac.
Yes, you can transfer the files, but you will be unable to open them, because as you have found, new Macs have not shipped with iWeb installed on them for a long time now - iWeb as you may or may not know is very old software now that has not been sold or supported by Apple for at least 3 years.
The only other way that you will be able to get iWeb onto your new Mac is buy a copy of iLife 11 or iLife 09, both of which contained the final version of iWeb - which is iWeb 09. You would need to purchase this from Amazon. You could try an old installation CD that came with your other Mac if you still have it and you could try installing iWeb onto your new iMac from that, but if it does not work, then you'll have to buy a copy of iLife 11 or 09 from Amazon.
Your other alternatives of course are to find some new web creation software that is supported or you continue to use iWeb on your old Mac and just update and publish your sites from that machine.
In the end though, it might just be easier to bite the bullet and move onto some new software and re-build you site with that.
Software that is worth taking a look at is RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express, WebAcappella 4, Flux V and EverWeb. Then don't forget all the online website builders that you have, that are slightly different, such as WordPress.com, Wix.com and others.
Other alternatives are then the Content Management Systems such as Drupal, Joomla and WordPress.org.
I would suggest that you take a look at EverWeb first though - it is very much like the iWeb interface and can do a lot more than iWeb could out of the box, such as contact forms included, SEO included, drop down menus, master pages, support for PayPal with widgets and lots more.
Take and look and you can download a trial version before you buy.
There are lots of different options available to you, but ultimately, if you want to continue using iWeb on your new Mac, then you'll have to buy iLife form Amazon. Time to move on perhaps?!! -
Background: I started this blog while living overseas and going to sea with the Navy. Missed the opportunity to move the iWeb files with content attached from the mobile.me server to another server. Now, I have the original web archive files - good - but not the comments added to them by family and friends - bad.
My ultimate objective is to create a hard-cover bound book of these files with the comments on the blog ... they document a rather significant experience in my family's life ... to do this, I need to recover the original files with postings.
Any thoughts or insight would be sincerely appreciated!
Thanks, cfwnavyYou have replied to a post that is a month old now and the OP has never replied, so you are probably wasting your time here.
If you read the OP's post and my reply, you will see that he will not be able to recover his blog and neither will you.
If your Mac was stolen and you did not back up your iWeb domain.sites files, then you CANNOT get your blog back.
If you published your site to a host/server, then you can download it back onto your Mac and you will have to re-build your blog/website from scratch and re-publish, but all your replies and responses to posts will be lost and you can never get these back.
My advice would be to re-create your blog in another format such as WordPress.com which is free and don't use iWeb again.
There are plenty of alternatives out there. -
Iweb Files are Missing since Upgrade Yeasterday
Yesterday, my computer did some automatic upgrades. Now when I open iWeb, it just brings up a blank new template. Where did my previous iWeb file go? In the past, when I opened iWeb, the files were just there! It was published to .Mac, but I cannot seem to figure out how to open the file again in iWeb. What happened? It just seems to be gone!
This problem of the "disappearing domain file" seems to come from updating to V 2.0.2 and not doing a restart.
You need to try a spotlight search for your "missing" domain.sites2 file to see if it has been moved to another location on your hard drive - failing that, do a manual search. Others have been successful with this.
One of the things you have to realize about iWeb is that it doesn't back your files up anywhere. You have to backup the domain.sites2 file yourself and update it every time you make changes.
If anything goes wrong and you don't have an up to date domain file - you're screwed! -

Import previous iweb site from the internet? No old iweb files
My mac crashed and I lost all the information I had stored in it, including the iweb files of the blog I created using Iweb. Is there a way to import my iweb blog into a new Iweb in the mac I purchased? The iweb site I created is still up, so I am wondering if I can import the entries from my old iweb blog into my new mac/iweb using RSS or some other mechanism to capture the text and pictures in my old iweb blog and transfer them to my new mac. I also use idisk, so when I log in to mobile me I see links to my old iweb blog under if I click on Idisk and then go to "site". Any ideas about how I can import my old iweb blog from the internet?
The iweb version I have in my new mac is Iweb 3.0.3 (501)Jorge ~ Welcome to the Support Communities. Apple says:
"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.” (Source)
...If you don't have a backup of your Domain file (e.g. via Time Machine), 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:

Need help retrieving 'backed-up' iWeb files
In anticipation of iweb going away, I backed up my iweb files to an external drive. Now, having purchased a brand new imac desktop computer, it did not come with iweb software. So, how do i "restore" any of my iweb files to the new imac desktop so that I can then view them, enjoy them, or upload them to a new server?
Attach your hard drive to your new Mac and then copy the files over or just drop and drag. If you have saved your published iWeb files, then you can open them in any browser that you have by opening the file and then clicking on any of the html pages - just double click and Safari or your chosen browser will open them.
To upload to your server, then you'll need to download an ftp client like Cyberduck or Yummy ftp and upload to your server using this.
Other than this and if you want to make any alterations to your files, then you needed to back up your domain.sites files from your old Mac that you should have transferrred to your new Mac. These domain.sites files can be found under your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. You'll also need a copy of iWeb on your new Mac - you can do this by using the installation discs from your old Mac and placing it on your new mac or if you still want iWeb go to Amazon and search for a copy of the iLife 11 boxed set and iWeb is included in this.
