Reload iWeb project after reinstall

I reinstalled my OS, as I do frequently to optimize computer performance. However when I now try to continue working on my iWeb project I'm stuck. I've made backups of my website folder but I can't get it to reload in iweb.
Is there any way to get my old project back on track by using my backup:ed files?
Otherwise this means that EVERY time I reinstall my OS I have to rebuild my site from the top. This seems ridiculous! I have to move everything I have to Dreamweaver and STOP using iWeb, It's no point if you lose your work when you reinstall your system. Come on apple, you can do better than this, it's ridiculous.
Please please help me if you know a way around.

Hello Erik,
You do not need to reinstall the OS to optimize performance !
In fact : do not do this !
Every Mac comes standard with 3 scripts to optimize your machine.
All you have to do is run them !
If you do not feel comfortable to run them yourself, there are many tools that will do the trick for you. Ex. OnyX (freeware, search on www.versiontracker.com)
If you've done an install as you did so many times before, all your files should be as they were.
If you did an install with "erase old install", then you better have a back-up on an external disk...
Using Dreamweaver over iWeb will make no difference here, they'll both be gone
Now, let's hope you have a back-up on an external disk (or an other uninfected partition on your internal drive) :
iWeb saves everything in the file "Domain.sites2" on your disk.
The default location is : /Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
Restore the file Domain.sites2 from your Back-Up and you're back in business.
Kind regards,
Leo
PS: just out of curiosity, where did you get the idea to reinstall the OS to improve performance ?
If you like to experiment why don't you clone your internal HD to an external HD and then boot with the external HD to experiment and boot with the internal HD for serious work?
The tool to select the boot disk is installed on every Mac : System Preferences / System / Startup Disk
There are some freeware tools to clone your internal disk to an external disk.
Do a search on versiontracker or a similar site.
Ex.: Carbon Copy Cloner will do the trick.

Can't reload ssl certificate after reinstall

So I dont know if I did this correctly or not.
I needed to do a clean install of my system software. So I backed up my registered SSL certificate by selecting it in Keychain Access and Exporting it to an external drive under the name certificate_backup.p12
After the reinstall I imported the certificage back into my Keychain. In Server.app->Myserver->Settings I clicked edit next to SSL certificate. In the Certificate dropdown list I selecteded the imported SSL certificate and hit OK. In the Server.app window a the little loading icon spins and then finaly stops. The SSL certificate field says Custom. If I click on edit it shows all services but Web have the imported SSL certificate applied to them.
Every time I try to set the imported SSL certificate to the Web service it appears to fail. There does not appear to be any specific error in the Web service error log other than "Server should be SSL-aware but has no certificate configured"
I am not sure if I have backed up my certificiate correctly or imported it correctly for that matter. I do not know how to solove this issue.
Any help would be appreciated thanks!

No.
The best you can do is copy and paste elements from your site into a new iWeb project file, named "Domain" on your HD.
I understand why you and many others would think your "project" file is stored on your iDisk, but unfortunately you are now learning the difference between project and presentation...
Here's a metaphor:
You took some pics on your digital camera, edited in Photoshop and printed the pics and since then erased the pics off your camera/computer. Can you still edit those pics in Photoshop?

Why does iMovie 11 reload my project after every edit

I have had this problem from the beginning. I am working on a slide show style project (a la Ken Burns) now but this happened on smaller projects before. Typically I make a duration change to the slide and hit done. iMovie reloads the project. Sometimes it takes 1-2 seconds. Other times it acts like it is loading the project for the first time (at least 10 seconds). It's about 50/50 for doing both. Is it supposed to reload every time. I looked in Preferences (and other menus) and can't find anything to adjust. This slows my editting process to a crawl. HELP.

I think you have the wrong forum, this is for mobile devices, hence iOS Apps; I am trying to get it moved.
But as a quick answer, your final video may render out to more then 2 Gb, and your drives may not be able to handle that size files.
Check that the drive you are saving to is formatted as MacOS, and not Fat.
Even if the origonal videos are 731 mb, you may have chosen to re-compress at a higher rate.
Another idea would be to choose a lower compression, thus a smaller file.

Reloading OWB Projects after an Instance Rebuild

I am working in an environment where we have one Design Repository and three Runtime Repositories. Each of the Runtime Repositories is on a different Oracle DB instance (DEV, TEST, and PROD). We will periodically âdestroyâ and ârebuildâ these instances until we are satisfied with our installation. When we do a ârebuildâ on an instance it doesnât affect my Design Repository because it is separate from the three DB instances. The metadata that was in the Design Repository before the rebuild is still there after the rebuild.
What are affected are the Runtime Repository and the Target Schema that resided in the DB instance before the rebuild. Our DBA has written scripts to reinstall both of these after a rebuild but of course they are missing all of the code for the packages etc. that were deployed to them from my OWB project.
As it stands now, after each rebuild I have to manually register the Source and Target Locations, redeploy the code for all deployable objects (Custom Transformation Operators etc.), open each mapping and do an âInbound Reconcileâ on the Source and Target tables, and then regenerate and redeploy the code for the mappings. What we would like to do is find some way to automate all of these tasks.
In reading through the forum threads I see that others are trying to accomplish the same thing or something very similar. There are multiple mentions of â.tclâ files or scripts. What are these and what tool/utility is used to create them? Where can I read up on this? There are also multiple mentions of âSnapshotsâ. Is this an OWB utility?
I think it would solve my problem if I could capture the state of both the Runtime Repository and the Target Schema before the rebuild and then use that to restore both of them to their original state after the rebuild. Does anyone know how to do this? What documentation exists to describe the tools/utilities needed and how to use them?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Good morning Don,
You can automate tasks by using scripting. This consists of something called OMBPlus/OMB (Oracle MetaBase => repository-DML-language) and TCL.
Tcl is a scripting language which is designed to be embedded in applications.
The Warehouse Builder scripting language, known as OMB Plus, is an extension of the Tcl programming language. With OMB Plus, you can write the syntactic constructs
such as variable support, conditional and looping control structures, error handling, and standard library procedures.
Check http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/sdk/scripting%20pages/Scripting_home.htm to get an overview from Oracle on the entire subject.
Check the OWB Scripting Reference for commands to manipulate the Repository: http://download.oracle.com/docs/pdf/B12152_01.pdf
Also check http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/pdf/OWB_Scripting_Paper.pdf
A snapshot is related to repository objects. It contains all the information (metadata) about object(s) and the relationships for the object(s). It is used for Change Management.
For a full description see the "Metadata Change Management" chapter in the User Guide.
Good luck, Patrick

Lost iWeb site after reinstalling OS

I installed Leopard using the clean install but forgot to backup my iWeb site from my Library. I have the entire site online. Is there a way to recreate the iWeb site locally from my .mac account?

Without the Domain.sites file there is no way.
You've learned a very hard lesson about backing up your User folder.

IWeb projects from two computers. How do I combine onto one machine.

Hi,
I have been working on five sites in total. Three of them were satrted on my iMac G5 and recently I have just started two more but on my new MacBookPro.
They are all published, but I now want to combine all of the projects onto my MacBookPro. After some research it seems that iWeb saves one file called Domain in the iWeb folder. I can't have two Domian files in the same folder (one replaces the other)
Question is, how do I combine all of my iWeb projects together into one Domain file?
Any help appreciated.
Keith

I was wondering the same thing, for the same
reason...it sounds as if the separate domain files
must be maintained separately [maybe in separately
named folders in AppSupport/iWeb? and then just
switch between the separate folders to be able to
edit on one machine....but then be careful when you
do an Announce, because it'll only send
http://web.mac.com/nameofuser to the people and it
might open up Site #2 and not the one you sent,
right??
This is the reason there are applications like iWebSites (http://mistergregg.com/cocoadrillosoftware/) that help you to switch in and out different domain files. With multiple sites, you must specify the longer URL in order to get people to the specific site. I don't think the Announce email function is really up to snuff in this regard.
Any easy way to cure this issue of being able to
easily announce Site 2 to some and Site 3 to others?
without visiting sites and sending the LONG link????
that's inelegant.
See my post to you about subdomain forwarding in this thread...

IPhoto Library won't load after reinstalling Mac OSX

I have reinstalled mac i was having some problems and i am a newbie in mac so i tought a clean install would be good at that point
After reinstalling i had my user folder backed up i moved the files back to their original place, and organized everything because it was messy, and then started a timemachine backup on an external drive
so in short:
i reinstalled mac
restored my iPhoto Library to the Pictures folder
Updated everything to the latest version ( since the photo library was created with the latest version )
when i tried to open iphoto it stayed reloading for an hour then i gave up and searched online
my pictures are all there i can copy them and start a new library but that is not what i want
i want my events as i sorted them i want my faces as i sorted them i spent a lot of time making these pictures as they were
please help
Things i already tried:
vacuuming the *.db sqlite files
removing the faces.db so that if the faces are the problem i would know
tried removing all *.db files
tried to import my photos to a new library but that is not what i want
right now i have 2 libraries, a new one wih ****** event names
and the old one that is corrupt

Using your original library try the following: make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

With PremPro CS3, after reinstalling to correct an error, cannot launch

I have been using PremPro-CS3 for nearly a year when I bevan to run into several problems of incomplete rendering, not recognizing capture sources, and workspaces being no longer available. I decided to re-install (or repair) through Adobe's application, and then I could not re-launch CS3 because an error message came up saying the license has expired and to contact my IT Administrator. What's going on here, as I need to get back into CS3 immediately.

John -
Ah, - interesting that you consider the Preferences file is not removed in the uninstall process. Because if a new install is actually NEW, where do the Preferences get their previous information to relaunch corrupted ?
Because, for example, I noted immediately after reinstall, all previous "Presets" in the project were returned to original defaults, so I must redo those manually. Are not the Presets part of the Preferences file ?
Also strangely, if a new install is really new, why does the process not ask to insert a Serial Number ?

Import iWeb project from Dropbox

I have recently rolled back my MBP from Mountain Lion to Snow Lepoard and reinstalled all the iLife programs. As such the iWeb project for me website no longer appears when I open the program. I was publishing the website via Dropbox and all the files are still there in my Public Dropbox folder.
Is there any way to re import the files (from Dropbox or the websit) and rebuild my Project in iWeb or do I have to start and re build my website from scratch..?

Try doing a Spotlight search for Domain - or Domain.sites2 if you have file extensions turned on in Finder prefs.
If that doesn't locate it, try the freeware Find File...
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file
This will find files when Spotlight fails. If/when you find the file, double click it to launch it in iWeb.

You've been very terse. Won't it just reinstall?

Lost iWeb project file...

Hi! My iWeb project file was lost because I had to reinstall OS X. The website though is still visible via a browser. It is safely uploaded on the ftp server. How can I change it/access it without the original project file in iWeb?? Help??

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 creation of the new site.

Find an Iweb project on a time machine back up

Hi
Following a complete new reinstall of 10.5.7.,
I try to find my Iweb project in a Time Machine back up but I can't.
The migration assistant doesn't allow to see any aplications.
Can you help me ?
Merci d'avance

Go into your back up, your iWeb project will probably be:
'Backup_path*/Users/*your_username/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain'
assuming you don't already have a current Project in your new OSX installation (in which case make a copy of it), you can copy the 'Domain' file to:
/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain
which can then be opened in iWeb.

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

How can i transfer iWeb projects to a different computer?

This may be a simple question, but does anyone know how I can transfer an iWeb project from one computer to another, so that I can work on the site from a different computer than the one that created it?

The same way you transfer all your other documents.
