Retrieve iWeb site

HELP!
I spent week fine tuning my iWeb site and uploaded it to my personal domain.
My Macbook Pro System crashed and I had to reinstall. I lost all of my files that weren't backed up externally, iWeb was one of them! Is there anyway I can get it back in to iWeb via iDisk?

As stated in this thread

The only thing you can do is copy&paste the content from the pages to new pages in iWeb

Retrieve iweb site from godaddy

I had to do a clean install on my mac pro - so could not alter my iweb site which is hosted on godaddy, using fetch I retrieved the all web site files in one folder, but cannot seem to get iweb to run them.
Is there a special place that I should put them?
Thanks
Mike

iWeb won't 'run' those pages because iWeb has no import facility so is unable to open html files and a published site, which is effectively what you have downloaded from GoDaddy.
Did you not backup your hard drive before you did a clean install? Did you not back up your domain.sites file to be precise? This is where iWeb stores all its data and is the file that you need to be able to make any alterations to your site. It is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Make sure it is your User Library that you look under and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
If you can't find this file then you are looking at re-building your site from scratch in iWeb.
This is a hard lesson to learn about backing up your domain.sites file, but if you have done this once you won't make the same mistake again.

Retrieving iWeb site from online...

My macbook's HD recently needed to be replaced and all of the data was wiped off...
Is there anyway to reload my iWeb site back into the application from online/iDisk? Can the domain file in Application support be rebuilt from the published site/iDisk files? The latest version of the site is online, and this should be an option.
PS I've had a lot of lectures about the virtues of backing up...the Application Support folder wasn't automatically backed up like it should have been. So it didn't help.

Is there anyway to reload my iWeb site back into the
application from online/iDisk?
No.
Can the domain file in
Application support be rebuilt from the published
site/iDisk files?
No.
To tell Apple how you think things should work, you can use the feedback item in the iWeb menu.

Retrieving iweb site content from server?

Hi y'all.
I was working on my iweb site and everything was going dandy. Then my comp crashed and the only way to get it too work was to re-install the entire system. Unfortunately, I didn't get around to backing up my iweb stuff but I did publish it before the crash so its on the server. Is there anyway possible to get the content back from the server to my comp? kind of like reverse-publishing (if that makes any sense) I'd rather not go back and have to do the site over from scratch if there's a way around it.
any suggestions would be appreciated...

It does exist on your iDisk because the site is still active and online. Have you setup iDisk syncing to your Mac creating a duplicate locally? If so is that the iDisk that you are looking at or tried to delete from?
While in the Finder select the Go menu and go to the iDisk ➙ My iDisk... option. That will mount your iDisk where you can go to the iDisk/Web/Sites folder and look for your web site folder.

Updated iWeb site from 06 to 08 - but counter reset to 0

Hi,
Many thanks in advance for your attention.
Updated iWeb site from iWeb 06 to iWeb 08.
Counter for website reset to 0.
Any way to retrieve old site's counter setting?
Thank you,
- Ross

Hi xharris,
1) Have a look at the following page about transferring the website from one computer to the other
http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWebTransferSite.html
(also read Note 1 of that page!)
2) Be sure to update iWeb '08 to the latest version (2.0.3). Then double-click the domain file you transferred and iWeb will launch and prompt you to update the domain file to version 2.
The problems some people experience are that some objects might move and not be in the right place anymore or things like that. Just have a look at it once you opened it in iweb '08 before publishing it to the web.
Also make a Backup of the Domain file before- after- you updated and from time to time

IWeb site opens blank site after moving to new computer

Hi,
I copied my iWeb domain file to a new computer and now when I open it, it opens to a blank site as if I've never created anything before.
To make maters worse, in the process of following advice from others and deleting preference files etc, I've messed things up to the point that my iWeb site no longer works on the original computer . However, I have used Time Machine to retrieve a copy of the domain file from three months ago (when I can be sure it was working). Problem is, I can't get it to work on either computer.
I would appreciate any advice and direction as I've got over six years of work into this particular site.

What you need is the Domain.sites2 file from your old computer. It will be located in the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Copy it to the same folder on your new Mac replacing the domain file that is currently there.
If you don't have a copy of that file you'll have to rebuild your site from scratch. However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing image, audio and/or video files in the published site in the reconstruction of the site.

Connect to existing iWeb site

OK, messed up my laptop and re-installed everything, then realized I hadn't backed up my iWeb site. So it is on the .Mac server, but my iWeb doesn't know it. How to get it reconnected (iLive v6 version of iWeb)

Have a look at the following page
http://retrieve.iwebfaq.org
in addition to that you could work with hyperlinks linking from iWeb to the preserved copy on server of your old page.

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.

Can I import my iweb sites after re-installing ilife08

I'm sweating a bit here.
I've just installed leopard, and have refreshed my hard drive (ie deleted it all)
I back up all my sites that I created in iweb, then re-installed ilife 08.
I can't retrieve my sites that I created into iweb.
am I screwed?

Hi there,
it depends on what you made a backup of...
Did you backup the Domain file?
User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2
If so you would just need to double click it...
If you didn't backup this file but did a backup of html pages then you will have to rebuild the site by copy and paste...

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.

How do i add a personal domain to my iWeb site?

I created a website using iWeb and logged on to mobile me to activate the personal domain I bought. It's asking me to:
Add Personal Domain
Before your iWeb site can be viewed at your personal domain, you must complete the following steps:
Go to your registrar's website. Define web.me.com as the "www" CNAME (alias) for your domain.
If you need help creating a CNAME, contact your registrar.
Return to this page and click Done.
Your registrar can take up to 48 hours to update your domain.
Can someone explain where or who my registrat is? I bought my domain through GoDaddy.com. Are they my registrar?
Thanks,
Dali

Are they my registrar?
Yes.
And to answer the next question : godaddy iweb cname
And here's the shortcut to the GoDaddy Help page :

It's also discussed daily in the MobileMe forum : godaddy cname

Is there a free loan calculator that I can put on my iweb site

Does anyone know of a free loan calculator that I can embed in my iweb site? I need a simple interest loan calculator where you can choose different terms, rates & amount financed.

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 my iWeb site file. It was on a 15" G4 Titanium pb. I'm trying to find a way, using version 2.0.4

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:

Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

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.

How do I stop my iWeb site folder name from showing in the URL?

I have looked through the forum but cannot find exactly what I need.
I am sure there is a way to stop this from happening but I do not want my iWeb site name to show in the URL. Anyone else had this problem that can spread some light on the situation?
Here is how it is showing:
www.ilovehopetown.com/ILove_Hope_Town/The_Ultimate_Guide_To_HopeTown.html
I want to to just be www.ilovehopetown.com and then the page name.
Any help will be appreciated.
Rob

What happens if I leave Site name blank?
Try it and see.
If you are using iWeb 09, the right forum to ask things in is here:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1309
Two options you could try are naming your site the same as the default folder used by your sever (e.g. public_http or whatever) or forwarding www.myname.com to www.myname.com/sitename

How to edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs?

How can I edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs? I know we create a folder with the files, but when copying that to Mac2, iWeb on Mac2 doesn't see that folder - I can't see what the linkage is between the app's interface and the folder of site files....

The answer is Domain.sites (extension hidden by default). You'll find this on the Mac you used to create the site at Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Copy that file to removable media and drag it to the same location on the other Mac. Launch iWeb and you'll see the site structure in the Site Organizer.
Once you keep the Domain package in sync between the two machines everything will work smoothly no matter which you use. There's a neat tip here which may help in this respect, but you use whatever strategy you prefer:
