Transfer of domain created in iweb to a new Mac running OS X Lion 10.7.4.  Files not present.

I'm moving a domain created in iweb to a new Mac running OS X Lion 10.7.4.  I transferred the domin files via a thumb drive and I can see that the domain contents are present on the new computer.  However, when I double click, iweb opens and the domain files are not there.  I have also tried dropping the domain files into iweb via Library/Application Support/iweb.  Same thing happens when opening from there.  Thank you!

I'm a little unclear on what you have done, but the entire contents of your iWeb site should be in the Domain.sites2 file in ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb.  (Note that tilde ['~'] character, it's important!  That means that we're talking about the Library folder in the user folder, not the one at the root level of the hard drive.)
In order to use that file on a different machine, you must take that entire file and put it in the same folder on the new machine.  Be sure you are putting it in the correct Library folder!  If you put it in the wrong place, iWeb will not see it, and will open as if you haven't created any sites yet.
If you're having trouble getting to that folder (since Lion makes the user Library folder invisible), hold down the option key while choosing Library from the Finder's Go menu.  That will open a new window showing the contents of the user Library folder.

    how do I transfer a website created on iweb from one macbook pro to another

    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.
    Once you get the domain.sites file copied from your old Mac to the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on your new Mac follow this:
    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
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    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.
    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.

    I want to Connect my Mac Mini as a Slave to a Mac pro Server while at the same time using the Mac mini's thunderbolt ports peripherals ( ie monitor, Sound Card, Hard drives) Creating a poor man's new mac Pro. Can this be Done?

    Well, I really would love the new unreleased mac pro however , I'm not sure of the expected cost , Everyone speculates from $3,000 to $8,000, in which I may have to wait a while to purchase.
    To the point .... I want fully functional thunderbolt ports to be on the current mac pro's .... wonder if anyone had workarounds yet?...  or could I chain the the current mac pro to a mac mini to make that happen?

    You'd have to ask Intuit. They might give you a cross-license to download and install the Mac version.

    Updated Mac Air to Mountain Lion and now I can not create new email in Hot Mail

    Greetings,
         What you posted is rather vague. By doesn't work do you mean the applications don't open at all or are you getting a message stating that your product needs activation? If it's product activation then that is something that Microsoft will have to assist you with. If your problem is that the applications simply won't open you may have to uninstall and reinstall Office again. This is common on the Windows platform too. Rarely when you upgrade to a new OS Office sometimes has an issue with the upgrade and won't open correctly. I would suggest merely uninstalling and reinstalling. Nine times out of ten that helps.

  • How do I transfer my pictures from my iMac to my new Mac Mini?

    How do I transfer my pictures from my iMac to my new Mac Mini?

    Are they in an iPhoto Library? If so:
    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • How do I delete sites created with iWeb and posted with .mac after a format

    I am confused about how to delete a couple of sites that I created with iWeb and posted with my .mac after I did a format reload?
    I have tried everything. The original files are not on my MacBook Pro because of the format.
    I also see them in my idisc, but I is my understanding that on my MacBook Pro that I can delete the files, but they are hosted online. On the online idisk I cannot delete them because there is no option. Please help!!!

    Using the file menu in Finder:
    Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/YourSitesAreHere
    Highlight selected files and Command/Delete. You will receive a drop down asking you if you are sure; click OK and the files/sites will be deleted immediately from the iDisk.

    Does the old hard drive still work? You can buy an external hard drive case and transfer data to your new Macbook Pro and recover your itunes libary. As far as i'm aware, Apple have not created software or allow you to move music from ipod to Mac.

  • 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 a playlist from a pc to my new mac?

    I am having trouble moving my music from a pc to my new mac that i will be taking to college. Help would be great!

    Are you just wantiing to transfer a playlist to the Mac without the tracks?  If so what do you get if you right-click on the playlist.  On the Mac we get this contextual menu:
    Select Export to get this:
    That produces a text based playlist that you can copy to the Mac and have iTunes import as a playlist. Since I don't do windows it's all conjecture and theory at this point but hopefully iTunes for Windows works the same as for Mac.

  • Iweb on the new mac air ??

    Hi all,
    I'm going to buy the new mac AIR , but I knew that the application IWEB doesnt come with the new OSx LION.
    Do you know if IWEB is available on the apple store and how much does it cost ?
    Do you know if OSx LION will support IWEB?
    Thanks a lot for your help

    Here's some information on using iWeb after June 30th, 2012, when the MMe servers are taken off line:  iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    All of these issues can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published the site directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    Apple has announced that iLife is now an unsupported product and those iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on.  However, the boxed iLife 11 at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.  Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought. Personally, if I already didn't have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

  • Can you transfer only a users account settings on a new mac?

    I am wondering if you can get a new mac and transfer only the old macs user account settings without the applications or any folders of any other user. also can you transfer only that users music and pictures and everything?
    Thank you,
    Caleb

    Migration assistant (it's an applications/Utilities) gives you an option to transfer individual accounts, applications and other data. you can choose to transfer a single account. This will transfer the whole home directory of that account. You can't pick and choose which folders in the home directory you want to migrate. if you want that kind of control - migrate by hand.
