Restore iWeb link to .Mac?

Hi there,
I have lost my system data (Not apple's fault) and had to re-install my OS.
Now I have to re-connect my iWeb with an existing iWeb site on .Mac.
How do I do that if I don't have a backup? My files are on idisk but how to get 'm back in iweb?
Thanks
R.

Hey guys, thanks for this! Awesome feedback. I'm travelling right now so I won't be able to give this a try till end of the week. I'll be back with the feedback.
I'm i'm lucky I might actually have that file still somewhere out there.
However fixing the issue is most important, it's a bit odd that although .mac and most (or all?) of it's services are mirrored thru iDisk that this, where one fiddles with files a lot, isn't a part of that.
Well, I won't complain, let's just say that iWeb is pretty slick if you want to have something up and running quickly but that we'll probably have to wait til 2.0 for more advanced stuff.
Later!
PS My system lost it's integrity through bad memory... things got so bad that it even corrupted the CONTENT of the backup files (Using Apple Backup) while nothing indicated that during the backup process itself. Just be warned... I have the feeling that 10.4.4 is a LOT more picky about hardware! I used 'memtest' (google for it) to identify a faulty 1Gb mem module.

  • 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,

    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.

  • Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac?

    Q. Can I use the grey coloured System Restore discs that shipped with Mac A to install OS X onto Mac B?
    A. In most cases, due to technical and licensing reasons, the answer is no. The answer is definitely no if any of the following apply:
    Any part of the software on the system restore disc is currently installed or in use on Mac A, or on any other computer1
    The OS on the disc is any version of Leopard (10.5.x), or is any version of Tiger later than 10.4.42
    Either of the two Macs has an Intel processor3
    The system restore discs from Mac A contain an older version of Mac OS X than the version of Mac OS X that was on the install discs that would have shipped with Mac B4
    However, an installation attempt may be successful, and compliant with all OS X licensing terms, if all of the following conditions are met:
    No part of the software on the system restore disc is currently installed or in use on Mac A, or on any other computer1
    The OS on the disc is Tiger 10.4.3 or earlier, or is an earlier version of OS X (10.3.x, 10.2.x, etc)2
    Both Mac A and Mac B have PowerPC processors (G3, G4, or G5)3
    The system restore discs from Mac A contain a newer version of Mac OS X than the version of Mac OS X that was on the install discs that would have shipped with Mac B4
    All terms of the Mac OS X Software License Agreement are followed, particularly sections 2 and 3 regarding permitted usage and transfer.
    Even if all the above conditions are met, software restore discs contain computer-specific releases of Mac OS X, and may not install or work properly on a Mac that has a hardware configuration that is significantly different than the original.
    Notes
    The license agreement for single user copies of all versions of OS X, including all versions that ship on system restore discs, do not permit any part of the software to be installed or used on more than one computer at the same time.
    The provision restricting the use of grey coloured system restore discs to the same Mac with which they shipped was introduced with the 10.4.4 Software License Agreement, and has been carried through to the 10.5 Leopard Software License Agreement. This restriction was not present in the Software License Agreement for earlier versions of Tiger, nor for earlier versions of Mac OS X.
    All Macs with Intel processors shipped with a Mac OS X EULA restricting usage of the software restore discs to that Mac only. The license that shipped with G3, G4, or G5 Macs that shipped with 10.4.3 or earlier permit the transfer of OS X to another Mac, provided that all terms of the license agreement are followed. Furthermore, the architecture of PowerPC and Intel systems are incompatible enough that neither platform's system restore discs will install on the other.
    Mac OS X system software will not properly run on, and may not even install on, any Mac that is newer than it, because the software lacks the hardware drivers to run properly on the newer hardware. Details are in this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186

    Gray Install Discs are Machine specific, so even if both were Intel iMacs they'd have to be the same Models.
    Leopard 10.5.x is another possible option besides Tiger/10.4.x.
    Tiger Requirements...
    To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:
    * A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
    * Built-in FireWire
    * At least 256 MB of RAM (I recommend 1GB minimum)
    * DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation
    * At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools (I recommend 20GB minimum)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1514
    See Tom's, (Texas Mac Man), great info on where/how to find/get Tiger...

    Or Ali Brown's great info on where/how to find/get Tiger...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10381710#10381710
    Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
    * Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    minimum system requirements
    * 512MB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it!

    Not necessarily. I'd suggest downloading and installing the "combo" update. That's a combination (thus the clever name) of all the updates to Leopard since it was first released, so installing it should fix anything that's gone wrong since then, such as with one of the normal "point" updates.

  • Ipod nano will not restore on windows or mac

    On my ipod I tried to restore it on my mac and that keeps going back and saying that it is corrupted and to try to restore it. I called apple and its out of warranty. They suggested that I try to restore it on windows. That did the same thing by telling me that it must be restore. I put it in disk mode, restarted it and tried to restore it on windows and mac and that did not work. Can anyone help with this problem?

    Now it gets even weirder.
    I tried plugging the iPod into a third computer (PC) which belongs to someone else. The computer restores, syncs and loads all of his songs onto her iPod perfectly fine.
    The only thing that makes sense is that there's somethng about one or more of her songs that's causing this problem. Is there anyway for me to find out which songs are doing this?

    How do i open an application with an iWeb link so that when people click the link it opens an application on the computer? e.g. Link called play now and it opens Gameranger straight from the browser when the link is clicked.
    Thanks

    For security concerns I, for one, would not want a Web page to load or launch other applications based on links or downloads.
    Only a handful of files are considered "safe" and even then the end user can turn that feature "off".

  • Trying to link our mac to the tv

    I have looked everywhere but cannot find exactly what we need. We would love to link our mac up with our tv so that we can watch the bbc iplayer and dvds on the screen instead of huddling round the computer but I am very confused as to which leads we need. The mac is a Power PC G5. The TV is a panasonic quintrix and about 3 years old.
    Alternatively is it possible to link my iphone up with the telly easily with any cables that are widely available or do I have to order the specific cable from apple?
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    If your G5 has a DVI port, go here: http://computer-tricks.blogspot.com/2008/01/connect-your-mac-to-tv.html
    As for the iPhone, go here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454
    You don't have to order the video adapter or iPhone cables from Apple directly, but their prices are better then Amazon in most cases.

  • IWeb publishing to .Mac/iDisk- interruptions: does connection speed matter?

    Greetings,
    I posted an earlier message somewhere in the iWeb08 forum regarding my suddenly experiencing lack of completion of publishing iWeb site to .Mac. Publishing just stops - no error message comes up. I have however noticed that my internet connection has been also varying in speed - down to a few dozen kbps in the last day, which is when I started experiencing this problem. Does connection speed affect such publishing? in other words, if connection speed goes down tremendously, does publishing to .Mac sort os "times out"???
    Will appreciate input!

    More than likely you are seeing a cached copy of your website. Sometimes this is a local phenomenon and a simple clearing of your browser cache does the trick (Safari>Empty Cache). However sometimes your ISP is the culprit with caching at their level. This seems to be a chronic problem with ISPs in the UK for some reason. And the only thing you can do is to wait it out.
    You can try adding a "?" to the end of your URL to force Safari to fetch a non-locally-cached copy of your site, but even this won't help if your ISP is overzealously caching material.
    Anyone in the UK can shed light on this ISP phenomenon???

  • Anyone know how to publish iWeb site to .mac groups?

    Hi all
    This is my first message here... So... Be patient plz
    I'm afraid that I know the answer, but I hope that someone can tell me(us) more...
    Is it true that it is NOT possible to publish a site from iWeb to a .mac group?
    Why this feature is missing???
    I've heard that this was present in iWeb 07. Is it true?
    Anyone knows if it will be available in a future patch??
    sigh, I've just buyed a .mac accounts to publish project for private groups... :(((
    Thanks to all for support. Excuse me for my bad English
    Mayran

    It's Sad.
    Groups are, in my opinion, the best feature of .mac account.
    Project, club, private site of people... great things.
    It's why I have payed for this account.
    But if you can't use the integration of mac to build up information
    it's very useless and to me it doesn't appear too professional
    from apple to cut off this feature.
    My fault, I haven't seen this particular information.
    Anyway thanks for the information
    I hope apple will reintegrate this feature

  • Issues with publishing my iWeb site to .MAC - Progress bar freezes at 100%

    Well, as topic says, i'm having troubles publishing my iWeb site to .MAC now since upgrading to '08. The progress bar reaches full circle, but then nothing. Left it uploading to .Mac for well over 2 hours one time while out of the house...nada. Sometimes i get an error message, sometimes not and have to close iWeb while it's still publishing.
    Any feedback regarding this?
    Thanks in advance.
    /Rich

    Update: After 36 hours, I have successfully managed to upload my entire website via the "Publish All to .Mac" option. I now have blue indicators on the left side of my iWeb program in place of those pesky red ones. How did I do it? Well, I'm not sure. But on my last attempt I looked at the problem from a different perspective, so I took an alternate approach. I had a feeling that I was experiencing a network timeout issue caused by a 3rd party software, so I created a Whitelist entry on my website filtering software that allows unlimited access to "idisk.mac.com";; and "web.mac.com";; domains. I've got two kids at home, so I'm running the free OpenDNS Dashboard service on my network which provides content filtering (blocks adult site, phishing site, etc..). I started using this service two weeks ago. My last website update was a week before that. I figured I had nothing to loose by trying. To my surprise, it worked. Now, it took almost two hours to publish, of which the pie indicator was in the  "filled" position for a nerve racking hour. To reconfirm,  I then made a minor change to one of the pages on my website and re-published. This time using the "Publish to .Mac" option in place of the ALL option and once again it worked. It took less than 5 minutes. Now, I'm not sure if this is a coincidence, maybe Apple fixed the problem, or maybe my website filtering service was causing some type of time out issue all along??  Don't know.. But at least for now, I'm a happy camper since I have my site up.
