Transfer iWeb files from Older machine to new machine

Hi I have just upgraded from my powerbook to a MBP, and can't seem to find where the iWeb files are stored, as I need those to carry on updating my family website, (I don't have a .mac account). Where are the files kept and is it as easy as just copy and pasting them from one machine to the other?
Thanks
TOM

Hi Tom,
have a look at the following page

Also read Note 1 of that page.

Transfer iweb files from one computer to another

Does anyone know how to transfer iweb files from one computer to another?

Change the name of the file to Domain-2.sites2 and try to copy it to the Desktop on the new Mac.
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion 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.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that 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.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

How to transfer rmvb files from pc to the new ipad?

I just got the new ipad 3rd generation and this is my first ipad too. How can I transfer rmvb files from PC to the new iPad?

Rmvb files are Real media (yuck) files and are designed to be only playable in Real media player(ewww).
They will not playback natively on the iPad.
You must either convert them(good luck finding something that will handle that garbage) or use a third party player from the app store.

Issues with transferring files from older MacBook to new Macbook Pro

Hi there. I am trying to transfer my files from an older MacBook (OS 10.5) to my new MacBook Pro but there is no firewire and it didn't like the file sharing 'afp' address I tried. My Time Machine is saved on a HD with only firewire so that doesn't help. I have an ethernet cord but can't find how to use it to connect them..am so frustrated. I remember Migration Assistant being so smooth and easy in the past but this is not smooth nor easy. thanks in advance for your help!

It may mean to Snow Leopard, which is more in line with current systems though it's still older. Not sure a cable is going to do it for you if ethernet and wifi failed.

Transfer iTunes files from old MacBook to new MacBook Pro

How do I transfer just my iTunes files from a MacBook to my new MacBook Pro?

The best bet is for you to transfer your iTunes library to the new Mac with the Migration Assistant. When you first fire up a Mac and it asks if you want to move your data, that’s one chance, but you can also set up the new Mac as pristinely new and use Migration Assistant later. Just launch it from the Utilities folder and tell it what you want to do—you can transfer your library over Wi-Fi, but if both Macs have a FireWire port, it’s much faster to connect them that way and use Target Disk Mode. (Start up the old Mac holding down T, which mounts it as an external drive on the new Mac for Migration Assistant to mine—but Migration Assistant walks you through the whole process.) Migration Assistant doesn’t have a setting specifically for iTunes, but if you migrate your user account’s Music folder, that’ll contain both your media and your library database, which stores those preferences you want to transfer.
Migrate your Music folder to your new Mac. (Which we obviously can’t do here because the MacBook Air is a few hundred gigs light…)
If you’d rather do it manually, first move the files in your home folder’s Music/iTunes/iTunes Media folder from the old Mac to the same location on the new Mac. Then export the iTunes Library database from your old Mac—go to File > Library > Export Library. Move the resulting XML file to the new Mac. Open iTunes, choose File > Library > Import Playlist and select that XML file.
Why not use Home Sharing within iTunes, you may wonder? I found out the hard way when recently combining songs from multiple laptops and external drives into one, new, started-from-scratch mega-library on my new iMac: Home Sharing is great for actually moving music, videos, and apps from one machine to another over the network, but it doesn’t move the metadata. My ratings and play counts were wiped out.

Transfer iweb site from old mac to new mac

I was wondering if anyone knows how to transfer my iweb site from my old mac to a new one. I'm still using both computers.
Thank you for your help.

transfer the "domain" file located in your user library/application support/Iweb.
That contains the entire site.
Also one should always maintain a backup of the file. If it's lost your back to square one.

Transfer iTunes files from external drive onto new iMac

I had all of my iTunes files on an external hard drive with an old eMac. I want to transfer the files to my brand-new iMac.
It's easy to copy the iTunes Library folder from the external drive onto the iMac hard drive, and change the preferences so that new songs are stored onto the iMac, but it doesn't change the settings for iTunes. Then, if I "Add to Library" I get two copies of everything: the file that's on the external drive PLUS the file that's on the new iMac. If I delete all of the "old" duplicates, it will mess up my playlists.
Isn't there an easy way to point iTunes to the new Library on the iMac and have it change the location setting for all of the songs?

okay, let me rephrase my question:
when you moved your files from the old Mac to the external, did you
(a) drag the entire iTunes folder from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music to the external
or
(b) use the +consolidate files+ command to move the files to the external
if (a), connect the external to the new Mac and launch iTunes while pressing option on your keyboard. when prompted, click on +choose library+ and select the iTunes folder on the external.
if (b), copy the iTunes folder from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the old Mac to <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the new one, overwriting the iTunes folder in place there. connect the external to your new Mac and fire up iTunes normally.
if you want to move the media files from the external to the internal disk of your new Mac, go iTunes > preferences > advanced and point +iTunes media folder location+ to the iTunes folder in <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music. also on the advanced tab, make sure there is a tick in the boxes next to +keep iTunes media folder organized+ and +copy files to ... when adding to library+.
then file > library > organize library > consolidate files. this will copy all your media files to the location you specified earlier in the advanced tab. when done, you can (if you want) erase the external and use it for other purposes. or keep the files there and use the external as your backup.

How can i transfer iweb files from one computer to another?

Hi,
Recently my harddrive crashed and i had to rebuild my computer. I retreived most of my files but i cannot find where my iweb files are located. Does anyone know where iweb saves files or how to retreive my domain files from the web (if at all possible)?
Thanks

Could there be other location for the iWeb files?
Unless you moved the Domain file, that's its default location. Make sure you're looking in the Library folder in your Home folder rather than Macintosh HD. See also THIS recent post.

Best way to transfer certain files from old iMac to new (have Time Machine)

Hey guys. I'm going to be in the process of moving my data over from my old iMac to a new one. I have been using Time Machine for a while w/ mostly Snow Leopard and Lion on my old iMac so everything is certinaly backed up via those means. However, the new iMac will be on Mountain Lion and it's a fresh clean install that I really don't want to muck up with all the *crap* I've accumulated over the years. So I've decided I only want to transfer the important files to me and I'll install any applications fresh later. The files I really need are my extensive iTunes library, all my photos, all my documents. My e-mail is on IMAP so I believe that will sync on its own.
Can the Time Machine migration assistant that pops up with a new computer at setup able to do these specific tasks without an all or none deal? Or should I copy and paste out of Time Machine or maybe even the external drive itself. I've had issues copying and pasting iTunes libraries in the past where it lost its entire architecture some how.
Any advice appreciated

Can the Time Machine migration assistant that pops up with a new computer at setup able to do these specific tasks without an all or none deal?
Yes. For a detailed walkthrough, see here:

Transfer files from older mac to new laptop

Is the firewire on my powermac g5 compatible with a thunderbolt port on a new macbook air to transfer files?

Not directly. If you search online for thunderbolt firewire adapter you'll see mention of third party adapters being brought out sometime in the future. Those won't let you use a Tb device over a Fw port but will let you attach a Fw device to a Tb port.

Need help to transfer itunes songs from older ipod to newer ipod

I have an older ipod (one of the first generations!?) that I have downloaded songs from itunes years ago; however, those songs are not in my itune library. I now have a 3rd generation nano 8GB that I would like to put these songs on. I have tried downloading them to my laptop and then transferring into library. The songs will transfer into itunes library, but I can't get them to transfer onto the ipod. I transfer manually (don't sync songs)because I also have two sons that also have ipod nano and shuffle. When I click and drag the song from my library to the desired folder on my ipod it tells me that my computer isn't authorized. I have authorized the computer repeatedly and I still get the same message! I noticed the songs are protected and wonder...does that have anything to do with not being able to transfer?
The songs were originally purchased on itunes store several years ago. I don't know why the 30 to 40 songs I have on the original ipod are NOT in the library, but I would really like them to be on my new ipod. (I have 200 plus songs that are on both ipods/library.) Can anyone help me? I feel I have tried everything and getting extremely frustrated! Are these songs a lost cause?

Converting files from older mac to newer pc

We have just replaced our older mac with a new Dell pc. My music files are all sitting in a separate hard drive. If I download itunes to the pc can I just then target the folder/my music from itunes and it will work or does the music need to be reconfigured in some way?

*About 1000 of my songs had their format changed to wma and now when I click on one of them it tells me it can not find file*
iTunes for Windows cannot play WMA files but it can convert them. You need to locate the file or files in their folder and drag it to iTunes.
*Also itunes does not see my daughters nano. Is there a way to tell itunes to liik for an attachment.*
Is the iPod formatted for Windows have you tried Resetting the iPod while it's connected to your PC? That usually works for me when iTunes fails to pick up one of my iPods first time around. Toggle the hold switch off and on a few times then hold down the MENU and SELECT (centre) buttons for five or ten seconds until you see the Apple logo appear then the menu button to go to the normal display: How to reset an iPod

New Macbook Pro transfer files from older Macbook Pro through WiFi--- BIG MISTAKE!! Two days of transferring!!

I just bought the new MacPro 2012, why does the transfer of my files from my old MacbookPro to the new MacbookPro taking so long? It is taking over 2 days over the WIFi!! It is ridiculous! Why did Apple give up firewire? Maybe this is a complaint. There should have been a warning on the possible length of time that it takes to transfer files. Most of us have photos, video and applications to transfer. There needs to be another way to transfer files. Am I missing something?? What if I needed to USE my laptop for work? it has been out of commission for 2 days, because of the transfer. Should I interrupt it? What should I do?

You waited two days?
I would have stopped after two hours.
I can do a full drive clone in under 2 hours, migrate manually in about a half a hour using a external drive.
Should I interrupt it? What should I do?
Yes, and there is obviously something wrong with one or the other machines.
I would hold the command r keys down and boot the new Mac into Recovery
Then use Disk Utility to erase the Macintosh HD partition
(use one step from the right if it's a hard drive and wait, it's better for it**),
Then reinstall 10.7 from Apple's servers (you need ID and password)
Install 10.7 compatible programs from fresh original sources (older PPC based ones from 10.5 and 10.6 won't run)
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
You can learn how to reinstall your free iLife here as well as learn about Lion Recovery HD (partition on the boot drive)
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
Then create other user accounts (if necessary) and then transfer files manually into the same named account's when logged into them.
You get a cleaner machine, because you find out what user files are corrupted on the original drive as those won't transfer as the drive will get stuck on them when you try copying/writing them in some cases.
This is know as a "fresh install" method, because basically only vetted files are returned to a new machine. Everything else is fresh and clean.
I do this method with all new machines and haven't have a lick of trouble ever. Hard drives can be slightly problematic.
**Sometimes what happens is a hard drive can't write data, this is where the secure erase method come in if it's a hard drive, as it maps off bad sectors ahead of time before laying of data when the secure erase is checked to make sure it occured.

Which external hard drive do i need to transfer my files from my G4 with OS 10.3 to my new iMac?

I have a Mac G4 PowerPC (with: processor speed of 1GHz, 1 MB L3 cache) running OS 10.3.9. I want to transfer my files from the G4 to my iMac (.21.5/2.5QC/2X2GB/500GB/6750M) which is still in the box, for the last 3 years. I believe it is running OS Mountain Lion. All the Mac-compatible external Hard drives i have looked at are for OS 10.5 or 10.7 and above. Are there any external hard drives for sale that will work with my OS 10.3.9 to transfer files to my iMac? If not, how can i do this transfer of files?

An external hard disk drive enclosure with FireWire400/800 ports, with others
may be able to be used; but not as an adapter from one kind of port to another.
The old iMac uses USB, perhaps as slow as 1.1; that won't work with newer
USB3.0; but both the newer and older computers could use FireWire; or maybe
ethernet for computer to computer.
Newest models have Thunderbolt data ports, so adapter cables are needed.
And then you'll need cables to match whatever combination you end up with.
{You may have tried something or another, but not posted back to say if you did.
And this thread is nearly two weeks old, now. I just happened to find it here.}
For what you suggest, you may be able to find a suitable cable, perhaps FireWire
or Ethernet, depending on the ports available and cables still applicable to both.
Does newer iMac have FireWire ports? You could buy a FW400 to FW800 cable where
the ends are different, if the newer machine has FireWire800. [The old one has FW400.]
This would have to be equipped with the protruding connectors so each could make
the connection between each computer's built-in ports. Not all cable sets do this.
This would be the fastest way to copy content between machines, if FW 800 in newer mac.
Port-powered external hard drives may be under-powered and fail to work, so that is why
I suggest enclosed HDD with its own AC power adapter that will not rely on FW or USB
for the power to run the drive and the electronics inside the enclosure.
example of external enclosures with multiple ports and its own power adapter:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
This is an image of the lesser model series with fewer ports. The FW800 and USB3.0
are both backward compatible to their older counterparts, FW400 & USB2.0. But even
so the old 1GHz iMac G4 with USB1.1, would not be able to use newer USB3.0; yet
should be able to connect via FireWire400 to FireWire800 by special cable.
If the iMac G4 is still working, that's a plus. Attempting to remove the old IDE/ATA HDD
and access it outside the PowerPC iMacG4, is really a troublesome effort, one to avoid.
But the PPC iMacG4 can be started in Target Disk Mode and accessed as a hard drive
via FireWire cable, too. Then files can be seen as though the old Mac is an external HD.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!
