Restoring iweb domain from published site?

I totally gaffed and didn't copy over my domain file from my old iweb application preferences. I just got a new intel imac and opened iweb and lo and behold my site wasn't there. I have it published to my .mac account and I can copy the web site files over from my idisk. Is there anyway I can use these files to get iweb to construct my domain and all its pages again so that I can edit them? I unfortunately don't have any way of retrieving my old domain file. If this isn't possible, can anyone recommend the least painful way of getting there?
Thanks!

Kevin...
unfortunatly.. if you don't have access to the old domain file then it's not looking good.
The best way for you to rebuild your site is to cut and paste them from your idisk into a new templet in iWeb.
I did it early on with my site and it took less time than you think... a couple of hours.
Sorry for the bad news.

  • Restoring iWeb /domain from Published Folders

    Had a lightning strike and fried both my internal harddrive and my backup drive. Still 'might' be able to recover data from the external, but I'm looking for a work-around just in case.
    Is there a way in iWeb (or using a 3rd party app) to convert published pages/folders back into something that iWeb can work with? I've read some older posts and it appears not, but thought maybe someone may have discovered a trick recently. Remaking them manually will be difficult, since the pages I created have many template modifications.
    If anyone has any ideas, I'd be glad to hear them. If not I may give up on iWeb altogether, and switch over to Dreamweaver permanently.

    Welcome to the discussions. A good reason to have iWeb Domain file backups offsite and/or on DVDs.

    It's not possible in iWeb and it's hard to imagine someone ever coming up with a 3rd party app to do that. You've probably already seen section 2.3 of this FAQ page which gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

  • How to rate and give review for the product in SharePoint Contoso demo site by the customer/user from publishing site?

    Hi,
    I am new to SharePoint, and am working on Contoso demo site.
    I want to know where to give star rating and review for the product in SharePoint Contoso demo site. Even after spending enough hours i didn't find solution for this problem. All the answers i got was changing the List/Library settings -> Rating settings,
    if i follow that, i get the rating column displayed in my catalog site. How can i bring it on my publishing site and let the customers give rating or review for the product from publishing site. Is there any OOTB feature in sharepoint or it shoul be customized.
    Thanks in advance. 
    Akshaya

    Are you using the Content Search Web Part?  Just tweaking that once the source library has had the rating column applied should work.  Have you tried this?

  • Rebuild iWeb projevt from uploaded site (or other rescue attempt)

    Hi!
    This is my first post here, so please be patient with me...
    I have built a website with iWeb 09, and it is published and is working very well... At least to my intention! Last night I reformatted my computer and installed everything all over. Now, since I have moved my pictures from the Pictures-folder to a network storage, iPhoto (and hence iWeb) cannot find these pictures. For the iPhoto-part it was as easy as to re-import the 17000 pictures, but the project I created with iWeb is a little lost at the moment. Is there a way to "sync" with the site I created so that the iWeb project is up to date again?
    Any other solution?
    Regards
    Magnus

    You need to find a copy of the Domain file that was used to create your site. It has the data. Nothing can be done with a published site. The Domain file is normally located in Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Hopefully you have a backup from before your reformatting.

  • 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 you create an iWeb domain from an iWeb sight?

    What happens if the computer you are using to create the iWeb crashes? Your iWeb page is still out there but the domain in Application Support/iWeb is now gone. Can I recreate that from the original site? I feel kind of dumb creating a whole new site that is still active.
    This first came up because we run mobile accounts in our school. I only sync the desktop and documents folders. Then when a student moved to a new computer, the domain was not there. Or at least that is what I discovered. What they saw was when they opened iWeb, all the work they just did was gone. It wanted to start over. Even though what they had done prior was still on the web.
    I am getting ready to show some of my teachers iWeb. I don't want them to have this same problem. Their sites may be quite extensive. And that much work to go lost would be a shame.

    Hi Brian,
    iWeb's Domain file is kept in the user's Home folder Library:
    Users/username/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain
    I think the easiest thing to do in your situation when you're finished working is just copy the Domain file to a usb flash thumb drive. Then you have your work with you and you can open and edit your site(s) from any machine running the same version of iWeb.
    Remember also that flash drives can/will fail at some point. If you are building large sites it's not a bad idea to burn a copy of the Domain to a DVD now and then.

  • IWeb won't Publish site when Podcast is added

    I have two seperate sites on my iWeb account. I've tried publishing the first site with the new podcast I created. It worked fine. Then I tried publishing the second site with the podcast. EVERY time I get an error message that says it was unable to publish. I've gone as far as to export the GB3 podcast as a mono cast instead of a full quality movie. The size is about 15 MB. WHAT CAN I DO!?!
    Is there a way to publish a podcast without using iWeb?
    Why won't iWeb publish my podcast??
    Thanks

    Irish....
    there are two possible solutions to fix this problem if I understand your problem correctly. you have two sites, with podcasts on both that you want published at the ITMS.
    First... in the SITE ORGANIZER in iWeb. Drag the site you want published to the TOP of the SITE ORGANIZER WINDOW. You say you have two sites, iWeb treats the one at top as the master and publishes that one. I'm guessing that the one you want to publish, and are unable to, is in the lower position.
    If you are submitting this new site to the ITMS for the first time, then choose the FILE MENU, then SUBMIT PODCAST TO ITUNES command. Follow the instructions like you did before and you should be good to go.
    If you are submitting a new EPISODE OF AN EXISTING PODCAST (think second podcast episode, or new chapter in a book) then you take care of it this way. This is a post I gave to someone in the podcasting forum to help them with a second podcast they were trying to submit to itunes.
    Publish your site to .Mac (or your server if it's different)... then PING itunes to let them know to go look for new content on your server (or .Mac). You PING iTunes by cutting and pasting the url addy below into safari and clicking return. You'll get an error message, don't worry, it's supposed to happen. About an hour later, maybe a bit longer, your new episode will be available.
    DONT submit your podcast by selecting the "SUBMIT PODCAST TO ITUNES" menu selection again. That command is for your first submission, not your subsequent ones. Think of your podcast as a book. And each episode is a chapter. When you ping iTunes, they go get the whereabouts of the new chapter and make it available for the world to come and read, hear, or watch.
    the PING url is...
    https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?id=INSERTYOURFE EDIDHERE
    Your feed ID number is in your original email from the itunes folks when they sent you your acceptance email and said that your podcast was now up and running on the ITMS.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to Restore iWeb Contents From iDisk?

    After a format of my MBP I need to find out how to get the contents of my iWeb site back onto my Mac. Which directory does it belong to on my Mac for iWeb to recognize everything properly?

    So basically I'm screwed, right?
    Unless you have a backup of your Home folder, otherwise yes
    I can't copy the files from my iDisk to my Mac and have iWeb recognize them?
    No.
    So when I start from scratch, will iWeb erase my current site from my iDisk?
    If you give your new site a different name to the old one then NO, if you use a different name you will end up with two sites.

  • IWeb Won't Publish Sites

    I've built about 4 Sites using iWeb and it is an great, intuitive tool.
    Lately however, iWeb just stopped publishing updated pages to my sites.
    I haven't changed any settings and I'm publishing to a .mac account.
    BUT I constantly get the pop-up asking if iWeb can use my Keychain. It doesn't matter how many times I click "allow" or "always allow" it keeps asking me the same question over and over.
    OR sometimes it asks me to sign into my .mac account BUT I'M ALREADY SIGNED IN!!!
    All help much appreciated,
    M

    Hey Thanks Bkenny,
    When I open keychain I don't see .mac password on the login list.
    I checked on my macbook and it seems to there, so I fixed it on my macbook.
    I reset keychains on my iMac and still have the iWeb problem. I hoped the latest iWeb update might have patched the problem but I couldn't be so lucky.
    Thanks again for the advice, all other suggestions most welcome,
    M

  • IWeb Widgets gone from Published Site Hosted by GoDaddy

    I have been using third-party widgets to create components for my iWeb (3.0.4 version) website. They are Beyond iWeb Pro-Pack items. (I copy to iWeb html snippet code windows the code from the Beyond iWeb Pro-Pack widget and hit "apply" and they work in TEST mode). I tested everything on my site to a local file prior to publishing the site to the internet. Upon publishing to the internet, none of these Pro-Pack widgets are visible on my site. They all functioned fine when they were in Local file "TEST" mode. They don't even appear as blank boxes or question marks (which has happened when I have incorrect paths). I wonder if it is the pathways to GoDaddy? I have spoken to GoDaddy techs about my dilemma and they only say the path to my webroot is:
    /public_html
    This I don’t understand. Don’t I need http://www. ….. and other file references to get to the specific file in my webroot at GoDaddy?
    Beyond iWeb Pro-Pack widgets I am using:
    Apple Style Video Gallery (Youtube or Vimeo)
    Simple Hover Effect
    Panoramic Slideshow (Smooth Div Scroll)
    Photo Slideshow
    When I created the Pro-Pack widgets for iWeb I used file links (through GoDaddy hosting) like http://www.wildmonkeysproductioons.com/images/WMP_VIDEO_PHOTOS/....specific photo.jpg
    or---inside the cover path [in Apple Style Video Gallery (Youtube or Vimeo)] or a Youtube link in the video path (example): http://www.youtube.com/embed/LWWLM8QhVaw?rel=0
    I also have non-Beyond iWeb Pro-Pack generated widgets like Youtube video widgets that are also missing from the website. I believe the problem is not with my Pro-Pack widgets but with my pathways to GoDaddy.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or helpful ideas?
    I do not understand website building very well and website code, for sure, I do not know.
    Dan

    I took your advice and changed some file and folder names. I then updated my widgets to create continuity of connection with their files and photos in GoDaddy's File Manager. Now the BeyondiWeb widgets [Panoramic Slideshow (Smooth Div Scroll)] no longer recognize the path to them. No matter what I use as a path the link is broken.
    GoDaddy says the following is the absolute path: /home/username/public_html/
    My user name: wildmonkeys
    Examples of paths are below:

  • IWeb won't publish site fully.

    Hi. I'm having trouble publishing my latest site update with iWeb 1.1.2.
    I just did a major update to a photo blog I've been publishing successfully for two years. However, after three days of trying, I suddenly cannot get iWeb (or mobileme?) to publish my site. It will compile the update and save my data, but not publish the entire update -- the progress circle gets hung up for 3-4 hours, before I finally force quit and restart my computer, only to try again and get the same results.
    I am trying to update with the usual amount of data I typically do, and thus know from experience that I should be fully published in under 40 minutes. I've plenty of iDisk space, and about a fourth of my update does get published before things get hung up. Any ideas?
    (For what it's worth, I see the spinning color wheel a LOT these days when using iWeb, and have had lots of finder issues when trying to publish this latest update -- font problems, apps getting hung, etc.)
    Thanks!

    Because I uploaded a "save to folder" version of my site, I've lost the "comments" feature and the advanced slide show features.
    Using that approach, perhaps Apple assumes that your site was not made using iWeb and thus iWeb-specific features are unavailable, i.e. Password protection, Blog and photo comments, Blog search, Hit counter and Enhanced slideshows.
    How do I get those back?
    Perhaps it's not possible if you're publishing via a folder. But to be sure, ask Apple via the email page posted previously.
    FWIW, I only transferred the site folder, not the index.html file that was generated with it. Was that unwise?
    That "+How to publish a custom website+" doc says: "...upload the HTML files (and any files that go with them) to a subfolder in the Sites folder (in the Web folder) on your iDisk." ...It doesn't mention omitting the index.html file.
    On a general note, I suggest you consider more efficient and robust alternatives to iWeb's blog. Since iWeb stores blog entries on your Mac, you inevitably face long and potentially problematic publishing. And there will always be the possibility that you'll have to do a long and slow Publish All. Whether it's because you upgrade to a new version of iWeb or OS X or MobileMe, etc., the possibility exists.
    But if you hyperlink from your iWeb site to a web-based blog, you'll avoid this — as your blog entries won't be stored on your Mac. For example, the free Posterous is as simple as blogging gets — you can post a blog entry (including images) via email or from a web browser:

  • Intermittent connection to domain from remote site.. What is the recommended solution?

    Hello,
    I used to have a separated branch office with its own application/db standalone server, and about 15 users locally configured on that server...
    Recently we implemented a Microwave connection (25 Mbps) between the main and branch office, joined the server of the  branch office as a member server of the main office domain and add users' accounts to the domain. So now remote users have there logon
    and credentials from the DC in the main office but still work on there application/db member server located on the branch office.
    The problem in this design is that when the connection occasionally goes down, users can't work on their application although there server is located on their same LAN, because they can't gain the necessary credentials from the DC/GC on the main site!!!
    Would you please suggest any solution for this problem... do I have to make a local DC in the branch office, or create Child domain, or what?
    PS.. I'm working on Windows 2003 domain
    Thank you all

    Greetings!
    If you are not running low on budget and bandwidth is not a concern, consider implementing an additional domain controller in your branch office and make it as global catalog.
    Regards.

  • IWeb won't Publish Site

    Hi,
    Everything works fine until I add a flash music video or any video to the page then it won't Publish. But if I remove the videos from the page it will Publish. (this is not an embed code but instead a link set up from the hyperlink menu when I click on the "inspector" dialog box.
    Or should I instead use the embed code from my upload site?
    Has this something to do with memory? I followed the advice that was posted on another "help" column to change the memory setting in the MobileMe page for iDisk, but that didn't work either.

  • Restore a domain from Time Machine

    I opened iWeb today and it asked for the domain file. I pointed it to Library>Application Support>iWeb. But when it opened it was a very old version of the file it was missing several pages. I'm thinking MobileMe sync messed the version on my Mac. What is the correct way to restore my files?

  • Iweb revisions not publishing - site looking crazy.  why? what to do?

    Hey there
    I'm trying to publish my site (www.whereidstay.com) - and it keeps publishing a crazy version for about 3 of 7 of the pages, with enornous and misplaced text, etc.   I've tested the connection to the ftp server, and that seems to be working fine.  I'm not a pro at this stuff, so I'm stumped!
    Any ideas?  I'm hoping to send out a blast email today since our business will be featured on HGTV's House Hunters Intermational tonight, but i don't want to if the site looks crazy!
    With thanks in advance
    Ashley

    First clear your browser's cache (Command+Option+E for Safari) and reload the site.  Check the pages to see if they appear corrent now.  I loaded your site and it appears OK but I don't know if any text is missing.  What's there looks OK.
    If there's missing text can you include a screenshot of the page in iWeb for comparison?
