Save Domain file to I Disk

We would like to edit our website from multiple computers/locations. As we have a mobile me account we would like to save the file to i Disk. It looks like if only the html page can be saved to i Disk. Or is there a way to get the Domain file to i Disk.

Dropbox offers file sharing and gives you 2GB of storage free. Also this Apple doc may help: _iWeb: Publish to your .Mac account from more than one computer_.

Hard disk CRASHED - did not save domain file but website still running...

My macbook harddisk died a sudden and horrible death recently. (Yes, horrors...) Among other things, I did not backup my website domain file, but my website is stil in existence... Does anyone have any idea if I can import my website back into my new empty harddrive? I used iWeb to build the website.

Anyway, sorry for belaboring this but just so i'm
clear, this means that I can never again update my
existing website, and my only option is to build a
new one with a new name?
You can't update it with iWeb. You can use other editors to modify it, you can link to it from other pages, and you can build a new one using the text and graphics from the old one. There's no need to have a new name unless you want to keep the old one there. Of course if you do build a new one, make a backup copy of the Domain file.

I can't save any file on externals disk

Big externals disk (above 100 GB) appears with orange color on the lateral bar. I can't save any file in this externals disk, I only can copy or read files from this disk. However that is possible in small external disk (16, 8GB or below) that appears with white color on lateral bar.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks

Check the Format of the external drive as it might be formatted for PC read/write but Mac Read only ?
Select in then hit command-I and look under 'Format' - NTFS is PC 'standard' - if you want a drive to be read and written to by both PC's and Mac's then you need to format it as FAT32

Can't transfer iweb domain file to laptop

I am trying to move my iweb website from my imac to my macbook. I have burnt the domain file to a disk and tried to open in in iweb on my macbook but it opens a fresh iweb with none of my sites. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong.
I am using iweb v3.0.2 on both my imac and macbook
I have looked in my library folder, as I heard I would need to copy the iweb folder from here, but the iweb folder is not there.
Any advise appreciated
Regards
Ian

The default location for the domain file is - Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb - but you can put it anywhere. See my post here...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2540081&tstart=0
If you want, create a new folder in Home Folder/Library/Application Support, name it iWeb, drag the domain file into it and then double click the Domain.sites2 to launch iWeb.
After you have launched iWeb by double clicking the domain file, saved and quit for the first time, you will then be able to launch your site from the Dock icon as normal.

Warning: Backing up your iWeb 'Domain' file will not save you.

Here's the transcript from my chat with a MobilMe Support Rep. after losing (they simply disappeared) all of my blog's very valuable comments (hundreds), for nearly two years of blog entries.
I have many backed up 'domain' files, and each shows the comments that have been received and saved for all the entries when iWeb first starts up. But then, for some reason iWeb scrubs them (they just disappear) and when I "Publish All" to the web, the entries are published but not the comments attached.
Read MobilMe's response and consider yourselves warned. Backups won't save you. They simply won't. And yet . . . I was actually told I should have backed up. When I told my tech rep I had, then the reality of the situation came out. This is amazing to me.

You are chatting with Omran A, a MobileMe Support Representative
Hi, my name is Omran A. Welcome to Apple!
Omran A: How are you?
Omran A: I see that you have lost your comments.
Omran A: Correct?
Perry: Yes. Phone just rang, so my responses will be a bit slow for a few
Omran A: I apologize for the inconvenience.
Omran A: Have you upgraded iWeb recently?
Perry: Yes, Omran, is there any way to retrieve them?
Omran A: I am sorry this has happened to you. Losing comments tend to happen when upgrading iweb:
Perry: I'm running the latest version, and have been since it came out. Had problems with people even leaving comments for a while, as did everyone who was using iWeb, but that had become an issue of the past for a few months as memory serves.
Omran A: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2094
Omran A: Please let me know if you can view the link
Perry: We are well past the info in this upgrade doc. Upgraded long ago
Perry: Yes, I've got it up
Omran A: I just wanted to show you that upgrading iWeb tends to delete comments
Perry: I am at step 6, contact MobilMe support.
Omran A: Can you please give me a link to your site?
Perry: http://web.me.com/davidperryphoto1/GardenBlog/APhotographers_Garden_Blog/A_Photographers_GardenBlog.html
Omran A: Can you please give me a link to your site?
Omran A: Thank you
Omran A: Please hold while I do some investigation
Omran A: Did your comments get deleted after updating to iWeb 2.0 or did happen month after that?
Perry: More than a month afterward. Just a week or so ago
Omran A: OK
Omran A: Thank you
Omran A: Please hold while I do some further investigation
Perry: Still there?
Omran A: Yes
Omran A: I am still performing a investigation.
Omran A: Please give me a few more minutes.
Perry: Thanks. I'll just keep on working here...
Omran A: Thank you for your patience
Omran A: I am terribly sorry. I search all over the servers and I am not able to recover your comments.
Omran A: I suggest backing up comments regularly.
Omran A: I suggest backing up comments regularly.
Perry: When I start up iWeb with my saved "domain" file, I see the comments, but then, within moments, the program scrubs them, because, apparently they are no longer out there on the web. Is there anyway to recapture them from the saved domain file?
Perry: How the heck do I back up my comments if they are stored in some obscure place on one of your servers and seperate from my website?
Omran A: So you see them and then they disappear
Perry: yes
Omran A: OK
Omran A: I believe the following link shows you how to backup to save comments
Omran A: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2094
Perry: Omran, look. I have a backed up copy of my domain, just as they direct. When I start up iWeb with this file, I see the saved comments. But when I publish all, as directed, I get the blog but I get no comments published. That's why you and I are talking. I've apparently got the comments still in some form in my saved domain, but the program, or .ME scrubs them. What the **** good does the backed up file do me if I can't get Mobil Me to recognize the comments and re-post them? This is my issue.
Omran A: OK
Omran A: I am sorry I did not fully understand you
Omran A: One moment please.
Omran A: I am sorry even though you are able to see the comments for a split second. You can not recover them from the domain file.
Omran A: Just for clarification
Perry: Can we agree that this is a gigantic "cluster #@$*" and that this wonderful new opportunity presented us in the form of MobilMe has been very painful and expensive for many of your loyal customers?
Omran A: You see the comments with the domain file you backed up in iweb but can not see them once you published them to the internet, correct?
Perry: correct.
Omran A: Do they disappear in iWeb ?
Perry: But the program or something tends to scrub them within a minute or so of the program starting up. They are there, in all the entries dating all the way back, and then they are not. They just disappear.
Omran A: I am sorry the domain is there but We can not recover the comments. I am sorry that you have had a bad experience with MobileMe. We have given our loyal customers a 90 day extension for your patience with us.
Perry: Do you or anyone there know of a resource that I can send the domain file to take it apart and retrieve the comments. Someone has to know how to burrow into the file and pull that stuff. Anybody there know of a resource?
Omran A: Let me check
Omran A: I just checked with my supervisor and he checked the servers and said there is no way to recover your comments.
Omran A: My sincere apologies. I understand loosing comments that span for two years is very sad.
Omran A: If there was a way I would let you know.
Omran A: I am sorry that you experience with MobileMe has not been that great, you may leave a feedback and let us know what issues has frustrated you
Omran A: MobileMe feedback
Omran A: Upper manager reads the feeback
Omran A: Feedback
Perry: Thanks to you personally Omran for your efforts. I'll be saving and perhaps publishing this dialogue between us on the blog as a warning to others, along with a few choice words and pictures illustrating my newly formed opinion of MobilMe. Watch for it.
Omran A: If you select the blue close button and you will receive a survey.
Omran A: Please note that the survey reflects only me.
Omran A: I am sorry that I was not able to help you.
Perry: NO worries. Thanks!
Omran A: If you create the blog can you change my name to something else
Omran A: It would be horrible to have people coming in and saying oh no it is you!
Perry: Why, you were awesome. It is iWeb and this new, rammed down our throats long before it should have been, MobilMe that is the problem, not you. You were a real peach.
Omran A: Thank you Perry
Omran A: Thank you for chatting and I hope MobileMe services improve to meet your needs
Omran A: And have a great day
Perry: You can be certain that I do too! Thanks again!

Yeah, if your Domain won't fit on a CD or you don't have space to save it, at LEAST set up Backup to annoy you at regular intervals. Once you've clicked cancel a few times due to wanting to get something else done, perhaps it will begin to wear on your psyche and guilt you into going ahead and doing it!

How to save iPhoto file in a separate portable hard disk drive?

How to save iPhoto file in a separate portable hard disk drive?

You want to move the iPhoto Library?
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Firefox keep asking to open or save pdf files which are already in my disk.

Hi all,
Firefox build in function to open pdf files was working ok.
Lately when i try to open a .PDF file which is already in my disk i get a window asking me :
"What should firefox do with this file?
-Open with (firefox default)
-Save the file"
Since the .PDF is already in my disk , i want to open it but firefox keeps asking in that window so i have to cancel and a new blank tab stays there.
What should i do to open the .PDF file?
BTW,i tried to delete the mimetypes.rdf file as read on a message here in order to Reset download actions but in vain.
Thank you for your time reading this.

the_observer.

Hi cor-el,
I used your suggestions and i have the below results:
1.
"''You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications''"
This is not satisfactory because i don't want to use it.I just want the internal viewer for PDF's of Firefox.
2.
''"You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the about:config page to disable the build-in PDF viewer."''
I set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true and after firefox restart it kept opening empty tabs (weird)
3.
''"You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu."''
I did that and just keeps me asking in new tabs what to do with pdf (open or save)
Then i thought maybe another addon conflicted with firefox PDF viewer so i started it in safe mode.Tried to open a pdf and started to open empty tabs...
Finally i installed [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/pdfjs/ this] addon and pdf open ok now.
Still i had to use an addon to make them open.
It was running correctly with out add on.
Is there something else to try since i dont want addon?
Firefox pdf internal viewer was very satisfactory for me...
Thank you for your time reading this.

Save wmv files to disk?

How to save wmv files to disk... just can play them with wmv player.
Firefox has option Save File As.. but it doesn't save, just plays.
Safari has no option to save.
Thanks in advance

If Flip4Mac won't do it alone, you can get QuickTime Pro and use Flip4Mac. This only works for non-rights-protected wmv's.

How to save internal table data to file on local disk from smartforms?

Hi there,
I'm trying to save internal table data into .csv file on presentation server from within smartforms using GUI_DOWNLOAD function.
This function works fine from abap program, but when I call it from smartforms it does nothing. Form prints ok and there is no file created on local dick.
Is there a way to save smartforms internal table data to local disk?
Thanks in advance,
Baske

Hi Jey,
Thanks for your prompt replay.
Unfortunately, Iu2019ve tried both your suggestions without success. Smartforms behaves just like in case of GUI_DOWNLOAD. There is no file saved on disk.
Do you have any other idea?
BR,
Baske

How does one save new files to an encrypted disk image?

I encrypted a particular folder, and used a sparse image to leave plenty of room, as well as using read/write permissions, but I don't see how to save new files to the encrypted folder.

So, I guess you have to save the file to the desktop and then drag it to the mounted disk?
No, you should be able to save directly to a mounted disk image via a dialogue box. There is no need for an intermediate step. As long as the encrypted disk image is mounted, it is open and appears to be just another folder.
As an experiment, open a Textedit document and save it to the mounted (open) disk image via Save As in Textedit. It should be able to do that.

Where is IWEB domain file in lion time machine backup

I have read around and know how to locate the iweb domain file on my computer- apparently the library file is hidden and you need to press alt to unhide it.
But my problem is a bit different. I recently reformatted my system back to lion. I was going to use my time machine back up to restore but apparently its corrupt and I can only manually nagivate the files now. I'm trying to look for my iweb domain file while navigating the folders but cannot find it. I went to library and application support but there is no Iweb file there. This back up was done in lion, so I don't know where i can find this "hidden" library file.
I know its a hidden file because when i go to the library folder on my mac- HD>library> app support I don't find the iweb domain on my computer. Its only after i unhide it by pressing alt when i click on "go" do i get a library folder in which the iweb domain is housed.
I would really like to recover my website but dont know where to look on my timemachine backups.
Any help would be appreciated.

The default location for the domain file is your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. So go to that folder in Time Machine and see if you can see and recover the Domain.sites2 file.
Then make the Lion library visible as described below and open it with iWeb as described below:
In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
NOTE: If you repair disk permissions with Disk Utility on your boot drive you will have to rerun the script with Terminal to make the Library folder visible again.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
Or you can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.

SMC - "The management domain file...does not exist"

Hi All,
Just a quickie to see if anyone has seen this and has any pointers to getting out of it...
Solaris 10 u5 x86. Machine has got SRSS4.0 running on it, the only other modification is CUPS is running in favour of the Solaris lp stuff (got instructions for this off a BigAdmin article).
Anyways, I use SMC to manipulate user/group stuff on the local machine. SMC launches just fine, and I can gather System Information, view logs, disk configuration, processes etc. However, when attempting to do any user/group/role stuff management, I authentication with root role, click on the relevant panel, and get this:
"The management server cannot perform the operation requested.
If this problem persists, refer to the Log Viewer for additional information and contact your Sun Microsystems support provider.
The actual error reported was:
The management domain file:/shadowfire/127 does not exist or cannot be managed on server shadowfire."
The behaviour is consistent. Gee, it was running fine before, AFAIK...
Any pointers to what may have come unstuck gratefully appreciated, as always :)
Dave

I came across the same problem late July almost same day - on a brand new M4000 server with Solaris 10. I use an X-windows client to connect in and open Common Desktop Environment as "root". Then when I invoke SMC it works for everything except trying to open User Maintenance - then I get the error above.
I came across something quite by accident whilst I was being advised to make edits to /etc/hosts (which I dont think made a difference anyway so I wont mention them)
If I use my X-Windows client and open Common Desktop Environment as an ordinary user (say "joe") - then invoke SMC from the menu - when asked by the SMC utility to provide a logon then (as you would) enter the root username and password, guess what ! - I could open the User Maintenance icon without the error appearing and make changes and save them.
Funny how a less privileged user than root invoking CDE seems to provide a basis to get the option to work! I still get the error by using CDE as root
Wanna Try it?

TextEdit.app won't save new files to sub-firs of my Documents dir

This just started happening recently. Right after I installed the last Pages update AAMOF.
I can successfully save a new document (.rtf) file to my Documents, but not to any sub-dir. The error dialog box says it can't save because file doesn't exists. And, this gets logged to the console:
TextEdit[283]: view service marshal for <NSRemoteView: 0x7fe8cb422cd0> failed to forget accessibility connection due to Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 "Couldn’t communicate with a helper application."
It's just TextEdit that's doing this, no other apps seem too be affected.

Thanks Griff W,
I ran disk utility, and although it reported lots of permissions issues with the iBooks app and some Printer stuff, nothing related to TextEdit.
I've done a little more investigating...
This is only happening on my i7 iMac at work. Everything is fine on my MacBook Pro and my i5 iMac at home. So, I guess we can discount the Pages update having anything to do with this.
Everything is up to date, updates wise, on all of my machines listed above.
I did enable FileVault encryption on my work i7 iMac around the 1st week of August. That could have possibly messed something up with TextEdit??
Again, this is just happening with TextEdit, when trying to save a new document to a sub-directory of my Documents dir. Similar saves to other directories and/or sub-dirs work just fine.
If I save a new TextEdit document to my Documents dir, that works. And, if I then move it to a sub-dir, I can successfully edit and save it again with TextEdit.
This is the message I get in the TextEdit dialog box when doing a failed new document save: The document “Untitled” could not be saved as “See.rtf”. The file doesn’t exist.What the heck does that mean anyway? The document/file "Untitled" doesn't exist.. well of course not, it's a new document!
I do have a bad habit of keeping unsaved "notes, reminders, todos, etc." as TextEdit documents laying around. And, doing logouts, reboots, etc. with these "unsaved" documents still laying around. Could that have contributed to this issue?
This isn't exactly a show stopper, I can work around it. It's more annoying then anything. Any ideas on how to fix things will be appreciated though.
