Restoring iWeb Site

I have just done a clean install of Leopard and having been bringing in my data in stages. I have a publish to folder of my website on my desktop and also a clone of my previous system on external hard drive. How do I bring my one iWeb Site into the newly installed iWeb 08?
Thanks
Stu

in the cloned files you should be able to find the "domain" file in the "username"/library/application support/iweb
put this file in the same place in you new setup.

  • Restoring iweb site from idisk

    My hard drive from a Mac with OS 10.4.11 recently died a painful death and was unrecoverable. My files were unfortunately not backed up as they should have been (lesson learned). I have a new Mac and am trying to be able to access my iweb site without having to start over again. All of the files are accessible via idisk, but is there a way to restore them so that I can actually make edits in iweb?
    thanks!

  • Restoring old iweb site from idisk

    THrough sheer ignorance, I created a "new Site" in iweb, not realizing it would replace my exiting website, which is far more important. I want to restore my old site. I am able to access the old site through idisk, but have no idea how to relink it so that it reappears as my website. (Someone suggested opening the index.html in plain text editor and correcting the URL, but I have no idea how to do that. Tried opening it in "text Edit" and no URL is there)
    Appreciate any help!!!! This is killing me!

    TextEdit is what is says - it is an html editor so that you use it to edit html code, so not url will show up as it does in Safari etc. Safari is a browser and TextEdit does what it says on the tin - edits html code.
    The easiest way is to go back into iWeb and open your domain file with the site on it and re-publish all of that site and it will be back at the top again. That is assuming that you have the relevant domain fiel and have not deleted it?
    If you publish another site in iWeb, assuming that they have different names, they will not cancel each other out, but what will happen is that the second published site will be at the top, so all you need do is re-publish your original site from iWeb and it will be back at the top again.
    You can always get to all your iWeb sites via the url http://web.me.com/username/sitename so Site1, Site2 etc.

  • Iweb site restoration issues

    I had to restore my computer. Everything of course is on my idisk but how can i get my site back into my iweb application without having to remake the whole thing.
    If anyone can help please let me know. thanks alot

    Your iWeb site is stored under: Username > Library > Application Support > iWeb. There you will find the iWeb site (Called "Domain"). I´m not sure if you have backed that up onto your iDisk.

  • Restoring/Loading iWeb sites to a new MacBook

    My iMac G5 died and I've replaced it with a MacBook Pro.
    I had saved my iWeb 08 sites to an external hard drive.
    Is there any way to "reload"or "restore" those sites to the iWeb 08 application inside my new Macbook Pro?

    iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder — that's the file you should have saved:
    _iWeb ’08: Backing up your Domain file_
    Since you have an external hard drive, hopefully you're using it within a wider backup strategy — Time Machine perhaps or a bootable clone via one of these apps...

    If so, search for:
    .sites2
    ...which is the iWeb Domain file's hidden extension. If you can find it, double-clicking it should open it in iWeb. Although you still may have problems as NOTE 1 here suggests:

  • Restoring iWEB 08 sites

    Hi,
    I am really hoping that someone can help here!
    Last week my HD died in my 6 month old Macbook - now good. Anyway, now that I have stopped crying, and have a new hard disk etc - its onwards and upwards!
    So, I have a .MAC account, and my main iweb site is published to this. How can I get this back into iWEB or do I really have to recreate it?
    2nd - I also used iWEB to create a number of other sites which are hosted elsewhere. Same thing, how can I get these back into iWEB?
    I fear the worst here - and quite frankly if that is the case that everything needs to be re-created then thats a pretty poor show, but at the moment I am keeping the fail and looking forward to a reply for some of you experts
    Thanks in advance
    Richard

    You can have all your sites on one domain file - this is the standard way of doing things.
    Its easier if you split the up so that you can load them into iWeb separately and publish them individually.
    You can do this by using the freeware application iWebsites...

    Or you can do it manually ....

  • IWEB site lost problem - have archive.html file

    I've lost my previously published IWeb site but have found a full copy of it (photos and blog) on my computer here - file:///Users/.../Sites/Site.../J...s/Archive.html. It's no where else to be found. Is there any way/where that could restore this site to the web from this file alone? I had a serious computer issue and have lost many of those site photos.

    Jane ~ It's not clear to me what the situation is. Do you have two iWeb Domain files on the same Mac? ...If so, it's okay to keep them separate (in their own folder) and open each as needed by double-clicking. By the way, for searching purposes it may be useful to know that an iWeb '06 Domain file is called "Domain.sites" and iWeb '08 & '09 Domain files are called "Domain.sites2" — although the “.sites” extension is usually invisible.
    It's also possible to merge multiple Domain files into one — see this old beta software called iWebSites:
    http://mistergregg.com/cocoadrillosoftware/iWebSites/
    Post back with more info about what Domain files you have and where they're located and perhaps someone here will chip in with some good advice. But whatever you decide to do, first make backup copies of your Domain files — just in case.

  • Editing an iWeb site from a second Mac

    I recently purchased ILife 06 and have begun switching my existing web sites on my .mac account to be on iWeb format but i have a few questions:
    1. I published the iWeb site with my iBook but I also want to populate and edit it with images from i Photo on my iMac - can I work with two Mac's???
    2. My slide show pictures are very small on iWeb slide show compared to what I get on the slide show on my now old Mac Web page.Comments???
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    A slick way to do it is to store the domain file on a usb flash drive (stick) and double click it from there. That way you can plug it into whatever computer running iweb you wish and update it.
    Always remember to back that file up no matter what you do. If you lose it for any reason it can't be restored from the published files.
    good luck

  • Need iWeb site from TM backup

    Hi,
    I re-installed my OS and would like to bring back my iweb site I was working on from a Time Machine backup. I was hoping someone could direct me to the file that I need to restore to get my site I was working on back.
    Thanks guys

    You need to restore the domain from the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ folder, where ~ is your home folder on the backup.

  • How To Resore iweb Site?

    The hard drive in my ibook crashed and needed to be replaced. I used backup on .mac and did a full back up and I have the folder with my iweb site backed up. My problem is, how do I get it back into iweb? My site works fine when I go to it on the web, but I can't get it to come up in iweb so that I can edit it. Does anyone know how I can restore it back into iweb?
    Thanks, Ken

    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.
    Did you backup your Home folder from before? You might luck out and still have your domain.sites file.

  • Iweb site deletion

    Is there any way to restore a deleted iweb site, that was accidently deleted from iweb.
    Jeff

    Not unless you have a backup of the Domain.sites2 file found in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
    If you have the published files you can launch them in the browser by double clicking the index.html file and retrieve a lot of the stuff using copy and paste. Open the media folder to grab the contents.

  • New Hard drive - IWeb site gone

    Today I brought home my IMac with it's new hard drive because the old died. I've been restoring from my external and while daunting, it's going okay.
    When I click on my IWeb icon in the dock it opens as if I don't have a website already built. My IWeb site is still active, but I don't know how to get it back to IWeb so I can work on it or make changes. The pages are listed on my .Mac account. Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm wondering if you backed up your iWeb "Domain" file to your external drive? iWeb saves all the information about your sites in a single file called "Domain". This file would have been located on your old hard drive in the Users/username/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ folder pathway. This is the only thing that constitutes a backup of your iWeb work. Without the "Domain" file, then there is no way to get your existing online site back into iWeb for further editing or publishing.
    Your only options would be to recreate your site or to somehow link any new site you create in iWeb to the existing site that is online.

  • How to restore iWeb using TM?

    Hello,
    I've done some changes in iWeb that I didn't mean to and I tried to restore iWeb, back to the way it was before I made the changes but it doesnt work.
    I clicked on the app itself (and only the app) and clicked restore but it didn't do anything.
    It said restoring and it was loading and everything but then when I opened the app the changes were still there. The app did not restore.
    How can I restore iWeb back to the way it was a week ago using TM if just trying to restore the app itself doesnt work?

    The iWeb application doesn't contain your site data. That file is:
    home/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2
    That's the file you'll need to restore. This applies to pretty much every application I can think of - the program itself never contains your data, which is held somewhere else (eg iTunes and iPhoto Libraries are held separately from the program).

  • My iWeb site can no longer be found by browsers

    I have had an iWeb site which has been live for about a month. It has been working perfectly. I have updated several times without any issue. It still appears to be working well within iWeb. I can make changes and publish changes.
    I have my own domain name hosted on mobileme
    When I now search the internet using any browser, it says
    Can't open the page http://www.dhsem.com.au/ because the server where this page is located isn't responding.
    I have checked my .mac account and everything seems to be fully functional. Why has my site suddenly disappeared off the internet?
    I have tried removing the com.apple.iWeb.plist file from Library/Preferences, rebooting the computer, republishing the entire site, all to no avail.
    The site is still sitting in iDisk/Web/Sites.
    Everything looks normal from the iWeb side of things. For some reason, no browser can find the server (The IP address of the server is: 118.215.20.59)
    Would appreciate any help

    You don't need to get your domain name registrar to do this - you should easily be able to do it yourself.
    Firstly, ensure that your domain name is entered into the Personal Domain name setting of your MobileMe account.
    Go to your domain name registrar and then set up CNAME forwarding if they provide this and forward your domain name to web.me.com - this is all you need do - you don't need to fiddle with nameservers or anything else like that.
    If they don't provide CNAME forwarding then you can use web forwarding instead.
