Transfer my current iWeb file to my new mac

Greetings all, i would like to transfer my current iWeb file to my new laptop, anyone able to help to advise?
Cheers!

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.
To open your domain file in 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
Just launch the application, 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.
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
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.

How to transfer iweb files to my new mac?

I saved the folder I published to, and transferred it to my new mac, but it won't open in iweb on the new computer. There seems to be no option to "save as" in the iweb on the old computer, so I can't find where the iweb files are to transfer them. Can anyone help?

I hope you still have your old mac!!! It sounds like you do...
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. If you want to work on your site on another computer, copy this file to a thumb drive to move it around.
I have an Automator app on my site that will help you backup your Domain file(s). http://iweb.aardvarkland.com

Transfer songs and library file from PC to Mac KEEPING them on external drive

I am struggling to find a definitive answer to this. I have all my files stored on an external hard drive on a PC.
I recently got a Macbook and want to transfer all my files to the new Mac.
I know that I will need a new Mac compatible external hard drive and that I will have to copy the files onto the new hard drive.
However I cannot find instructions on doing the transfer to the new Mac that explain doing this AND KEEPING the files on the external drive.
To clarify...I don't want to put them on the new Macs hard drive as I have around 300GB of music, I want to keep them on the external hard drive.
its probably very simple simple but am struggling to get a decent answer. have read loads of stuff that explain moving it to the mac hard drive ...buts thats not what I want to do!
thanks in advance

See Make a split library portable. A portable library can be stored entirely on an external drive and moved between Mac and Windows computers. iTunes takes a little longer to open the library the first time after each switch. If your drive is currently formatted to NTFS then you will need an additional driver to enable OS X to write to the drive, or simply clone the library to an HFS+ drive.

My old mac screen broke down and I would like to transfer my photos and documents to my new mac. Is it possible to transfer it with the cable without fixing my screen?

My old mac screen broke down and I would like to transfer my photos and documents to my new mac. Is it possible to transfer it with the cable without fixing my old mac screen? Please help!

Sure! If the two Macs have Thunderbolt ports, attach a Thunderbolt cable between them. If they have FireWire, or if one has FireWire and one Thunderbolt, connect a FireWire cable (with a TB adaptor if necessary). Reboot the old Mac holding down the T key. Make sure it's connected to power. You'll now see its system drive appear on the desktop of the other Mac and you can use Migration Assistant to automatically transfer files, or drag them over manually.

I have a new IMAC with a Maverick platform (I can update to Yosemite). I did all graphics on a G5 Power PC (very old), in Freehand (very old)... How can I open old Freehand files on this new Mac? Can I still open and work in Freehand on this new Mac?

Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
After this, do an update from the App Store.
Thats all there is to it.
For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

How do I transfer my iWeb files to a new computer?

I recently did a clean install of Yosemite to my new iMac, getting rid of years of unneeded files.
I have successfully reinstalled all the programs I use frequently, but I am stumped on how to transfer my iWeb files so they work on my new computer.
I have transferred the preferences and the domain files, but they still do not show up when I open iWeb.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
And......how I wish Apple would bring iWeb back. It is the best app for making websites I have ever used.

Place the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. If there's no iWeb folder create one and put it in there. Now try to launch iWeb and see if it will find and open the Domain file.
If you still can't open the domain file do the following:
To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite 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.

How can i transfer my current itunes library to my new 3GS?

Hey;
i would be grateful if anyone could help me transfer my current itunes library synced with my 1st gen Touch to my new (ordered) 16gb 3GS?
this probably seems like a stupid question but i am hardly an itunes expert!
thank-you...

If you don't switch your computer, just connect your phone and sync with itunes like you did with your old iphone. Your music, apps and other media content should be present in itunes.
If you bought some media using your phone, transfer your purchases before. Right click on your phone in the device list and choose transfer purchases.

Transfer iMovie '09 Files to a New Mac Running iMovie '11

I need transfer/upgrade advice.
I have an old Mac running iMovie '09 (v8.0.6) with iMovie Events stored on an external (Firewire) drive. I have not created any real iMovie Projects yet ("one of these days, I'm gonna I'm gonna make those vaction videos really shine...").
I also have a new Mac, and the App store upgraded it to iMovie '11 (v9.0.4). Have not launched iMovie '11 on the new Mac yet.
From reading some posts in these forums, I realize the transfer of iMovie "content?" from one Mac to another is not necessarily straightforward. Can someone give me step-by-step directions (or point me to a thread/KB article) that does.
Any help greatly appreceated.

AppleMan1958-
Thanks, that did it. Must say I was skeptical with some of the other iMovie file transfer issues I've read about in these forums, but mine was pain-free.
For others/to reinforce:
Connect external drive containing iMovie events (ensure it mounts normally).
Start iMovie '11 (v9.0.4).
iMovie '11 (v9.0.4) immediately recognized that the external drive connected to my Mac contained iMovie Events and displayed them in its "Event Library" (lower left).
Minor delay as iMovie '11 added my events and possibly "upgraded" them to work with the new version of iMovie.
I did not have to "point" iMovie at the external drive, or tell it anything. It just recognized the external drive had iMovie events. Kinda cool how smooth this went!
Wondering what the transfer process would be if I had existing projects to transfer as well (I did not have any; just wondering aloud).

How do I transfer my applications and files to a new computer

I'm about to buy a new Mac Pro and would like to move my applications and data over. The new computer will come with Tiger installed of course. I'd like segment the drive so I can put windows in one part, and then get everything from the old computer over.
Can I just move stuff from the old computer to the new one or do I need to install all my software again?
Thanks,
Reid Rosefelt

I suggest you look at the answers provided in this entry:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1100954&tstart=0
If the old and new computers are both Intel Macs and running the same version of the OS (say, 10.4), then the Migration Assistant will probably do this transfer for you quite well (although I have and would do it manually myself). However if your old Mac is a PowerPC computer, even if it is running Tiger, then the above thread is especially relevant to you.

How do I transfer my Imovie files to my new Mac?

Last night I received my brand new Imac and transferred the contents from my 2008 Imac using Time Machine BU. Everything seemed in order until I opened Imovie on the new Imac and couldn't see any of my Imovie events.
I then hooked the two computers together using an ethernet cable and used the migration feature to do the same thing.
Now it appears all my data has transferred twice( the 1 TB hard drive is almost full and the Imovie files are still not on the new Mac.
Can anyone advise me?

Click here and follow the instructions to move the files; to connect the computers together, hook them up with a FireWire cable and start up one with the T key held down.

How Do I transfer music from my ipod to a new Mac?

Hi... i just got a new Mac Book Pro and I want to transfer my music on my ipod to it? Its the only place i have my music stored currently so I want to make sure I do it correctly. If I sync it will the library on the mac take precendence and wipe the music from the ipod? How do I do this?
Thanx
Steve

*Do not* sync your iPod with the empty iTunes on the Mac or you'll lose everything that's on it.
1). Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to sync automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
expod Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
PodView Mac Only
PodWorks Mac Only
TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
YamiPod Mac & Windows
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
Floola Mac & Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
