Transferring an old iweb site onto iweb on a new computer

Hi,
I made a website using iWeb '08 on my laptop and managed to publish it onto the web using an FTP. My hard drive then blew up and i stupidly hadn't backed up anything. Anyway I now have managed to download it onto my laptop on a file but cannot work out how to get it back onto iWeb so i can continue to edit and update it.
Sorry for the essay and any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iWeb cannot import files only create them. So you'll have to recreate the site from scratch. However, Chapter 2.3 of tje iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the published files in the reconstruction of the site.

IWeb and a new computer

I have a new macbookpro, and want to access my old (from previous mac laptop) IWeb website and make changes to it, but when I open IWeb on the new computer, it prompts me to start all over again. Can I get in to my old iWeb and be able to edit it?

Similar but different issue.....
The hard drive on this laptop, my MacBook Pro, crashed and was replace. Much of the personal data was lost. Leopard was also installed.
I have several .Mac accounts. And have sevral websites that have been created. The sites that were constructed using .Mac Homepage I can still access and edit. HOW DO I ACCESS AND EDIT THOSE SITES CREATED WITH iWeb?
Aside from the disappointment and inconveneince of having my hard drive crash and losing personal data, the service experience has been horrible. My first call to Apple care led me to the .Mac support. After no response in the prescribed "48 hours", I arrived at the Apple Store in Phoenix armed with my ProCare card. NOTHING! No one could help and I was directed back to either Apple Care or the .Mac suppofrt web pag....Apple ****.
This is the Applke nitemare the PC clones speak about.
Thanx for the help, if it ever comes....

Keywords not transferring with pictures on copy and paste to a new computer. In lightroom on old computer but not in lightroom on new computer? Not all pictures, but a lot of the new ones.

I actually found under EDIT then Catalog settings / then metadata that the automatic write changes to XMP had been unchecked. Once I check this, it updated and connected all the keywords to the pictures. Now when I copy and paste the keywords show up as I can now detect them in Adobe bridge when before I couldn't see them even though they were in lightroom. . Thanks for your input.

My laptop recently crashed and is unsalvagable with my itunes library on it. My ipod touch has all of my music still on it. Is there a way that I can put the songs on my ipod onto itunes on my new computer??

Is there a way that I can put the songs on my ipod onto itunes on my new computer without loosing them or having to buy them all over again?

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

My iTunes got deleted off a (no longer working) computer. Is there a way I can transfer all content from my iPhone onto iTunes on a new computer? I want to update my phone, but do not want to lose any music off it when syncing it.

My iTunes got deleted off a (no longer working) computer. I have lost all music & data that was on this original itunes. Is there a way I can transfer all content from my iPhone (music & photos) onto iTunes on a new computer? I want to update my iphone (3GS), but do not want to lose any music off it when syncing it. Help please!!

By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are using a new computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under iTunes>Preferences(under the edit menu if using Windows)>Devices in itunes.
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book & iCal or Outlook, Windows Address Book) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, DO NOT SYNC at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
7. Right click again and select backup.
8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
You should be good to go.

Font probs transferring iweb to a new computer?

I transferred my iweb site to a new computer and a lot of the fonts are messed up? (note, I used standard ariel fonts)
I copied over the entire domain folder.
the original site was made on version 1.1.2 and i am now running iweb 2.0.3 could someone tell me if there is something i can do to remedy this as it'll take a long time changing every letter that needs fixed. Thanks - Ricky

Great info roddy. One part though where you wrote
Double click this domain file to launch iWeb.
Although functional this is not necessary. Would not want to confuse OP into thinking the procedure of double-clicking the Domain file is required everytime the desire to open app is present. _Look Here_ for complete Apple documentation. Given that information coupled with your suggestion OP could copy the Domain file to anywhere on their new Mac and then double-clicking Domain file would be +absolutely required+ to open project in iWeb. This would then set new location of Domain file where afterwards simply launching iWeb app from dock, app folder or otherwise would open the Domain file, wherever it was located. Your suggestion mentioned copying Domain to equivalent location of ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb and in doing so double-clicking is not required since this is the default location iWeb looks for the Domain file at anyway.

Made a site in iWeb 08, have new computer and iWeb 09, How do it get it to

So I made my site in iWeb 08 last year and published it to my .mac account. I got a new computer this year at school, I am a teacher, and now don't know how to get my web site into the iWeb09 app. I have the folder that I saved/published to from the old computer. I need to go in and make changes but can't get there from here.
the site is web.me.com/andrewpatch
Thanks for the help.

iWeb can't open or import previously published pages or files.
You need the domain.sites2 file from that User Application Support folder.

Old iWeb Domain Document, New Account New Computer

I've done this before but that was pre-Mavericks.
I got a new computer, recovered my old data from a Time Machine backup which created a new user account on the new computer. I installd iWeb and could upgrade to version 3.0.4. Maybe not the newest but it's what was available.
I wanted to get to my webpages in the new account so I went to get the Domain File and transfer it to the new account. I did this before when a separate computer needed to updata a different website I had made for him.
Anyway, there is no longer an iWeb folder in Application Support in my Library.
Where is the file I need to move, and to where do I move it so I can open iWeb in my new account and update my webpages?
Thanks

Here's a similar question by you, two years ago.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3025188
When you open iWeb for the first time it creates a folder and a domain file.
Before you do that, you can also create the folder yourself and put the domain file in it. The one you either copied from another machine or recovered from Time Machine.
In the latter case, Time Machine most likely creates the folder too.

IWeb stuff to new computer?

I will be upgrading to a new iMac soon from a hand-me-down G4. I am not the original Administrator of the G4, and have managed to use it without major issue (after acquiring the proper password). I assume I could take the G4 and have the contents of the hard drive transferred to the new machine, but I would really like to 'start fresh' and eliminate some of the naming issues and some duplicative file issues that exist. The computer's 'name' is the name of the person who had it before me, and I don't know (or maybe don't want to deal with) having a new computer that has carry over from an old one. My primary question is this: I have several websites created in iWeb (one of which is a substantial one that it used by my work colleagues). Is it possible to somehow 'copy', or whatever term applies, these sites to a new machine?

In reading some other threads on the subject, I came across some posts regarding the possible conflicts between a PowerPC machine (my current) and a new iMac (Intel based). Will copying my Domain file to a flash drive, and then installing it in the new iMac cause any problems?
No. I can't see why it should...
I'm assuming Safari Bookmarks, Address Book, and Mail info can be imported into the new machine via syncing with .Mac?
That should be the case yes. If that isn't the case however you just would have to go into Safari and go to File=>Export Bookmarks and transfer that file to the new computer (may have a look at permissions). Same for Address Book. And for Mail I guess you could transfer Mail folders and go to File=>Import Mailboxes (not sure about that one sorry... I'm not a syncing pro... However it's also good to start Mail from zero... I always have tons of useless Mails...)

Moving iWeb to a new computer

i have just taken delivery of my new macbook pro and I want to move the maintenance of my iWeb generated web site on to the new computer - how do I do it?

Hi Brian
The first thing to do is launch and then quit iWeb on the new MBP, this creates a couple of folders and files.
Next, on the PB, navigate to User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
You are now going to copy this file to the same location on the MBP, there will already be one there (you creates it above). As long as you haven't done any work in iWeb on the MBP then you can simply Trash the existing domain file and replace it with the one from the PB.
Now launch iWeb and you should see you old site on your new computer.
Some might suggest moving the preference file as well:
User/Library/Preference/com.apple.iWeb.plist
I would just go with the domain file first and see how you do.
Of course, if you are copying the whole of your old Home folder across then it should be there.
Having done this, I would suggest doing a Publish All, I am not sure if any changes happen to blog naming etc when moving from PPC to Intel. Someone else felt that it might have for them.

Transfer iWeb content to new computer

My G4 finally died, but before I could back up any iWeb files. I have bought a new MacPro now, and need to know if its possible to get it all back from the internet version somehow?

Tim,
I'm sorry....there really isn't anyway to import your
online site back into iWeb for further editing and
publishing. In the future, you should keep a backup
of the Domain file if you can. This is the one file
in which iWeb stores everything about your website.
Best of luck to you....and congratulations on the new
computer! I am officially jealous!
I'm having this same problem-- I uploaded my iweb content to a pre-existing server (not .mac). since then I've had to do an erase and install (long story) and my last backup was a month ago. I downloaded all the iweb files from the site... but there's no way to restore them and get back to work?
my question is:
if I restore my domain file from a backup a month ago will I be able to add files created AFTER the backup? there's no "import" feature in the file menu.
or am I just screwed?
thanks in advance

Photosmart and Photo imaging had on old printer did not come over on new computer.

Hi, I had a HP photosmart poto imaging on my old computer but it did not come over onto my new computer. I really like this program because when I was copying home pictures for my family it allowed me to choose size of film, size of image and several at one time. I have tried to find something compatible and so far no luck. I tried copying it from old to new and that didn't work. I am hoping that there is a new program with the same abilities. Print shop and Publisher does not do what I want even though Stables said it would. These programs allows me to bring it over to Works but when I do that and I want to ajust size of image for several or to reduce size of a larger picture it can become distorted.Any suggestions about getting a new software program. I think they program originally came over when I had a camera and was transfering the images from it.so help

Hey , Welcome to the HP Support Forum. I see that you're looking to acquire some HP software that you had used previously on an older system. I would like to help. Do you recall which HP camera or printer model you had that would have came with this particular program? Also, what version of Windows are you working with? Please reply with these details and I'll be happy to assist. Thank you,

I have one of the original iPods. I try syncing it to my new computer, but the adapter is old and doesn't fit into my new computer. Is there an attachment I can buy, so I can keep my old music?

I have one of the original iPods. I also had an old aluminum Mac. I had a lot of music stored on both. My Mac no longer works because the software doesn't update. But my iPod still works and has all of my old music stored. I'd like to sync it to my current PC, but the adapter is so old that it doens't work with new laptops. Is there something I can purchase, so I can have my old music moved to my newer iPod thru a PC?

On the new laptop, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
