Transferring iweb site from 1 mobileme account to another

i need to transfer my iweb site from one mobile me account to another, but i dont want to buy it in HOPES that i can do it. I want to make sure i actually can.
anybody have experience in this?

Everything you made in iWeb is stored in a file on your hard disk.
You can find this file in it's default location.
../Yourusername/Library/Application Support/iWeb, the name of the file is Domain.sites2
You can freely copy/move this file to an other computer or an other user on the same computer with the other MobileMe account.
If you want to keep everything "as is" on your computer in iWeb and only want to change the MobileMe account: open System Preferences / tab MobileMe / 'log out' and 'log in' with the other account.
Kind regards,

  • Moving iweb site from mobileme account...

    Our hard drive failed last night. Therefore our site is also gone. I know you can save the files from one computer and transfer to another to edit your site. Is there ANY way that it can be saved from the mobileme and then transferred to another computer with iweb?

    Yes, we took it to two different people this morning. Hard drive "clicking" = very bad! We have to hire a professional drive saver to get anything back. We'll contact Apple (again). It is under warranty, but once we send it in to them they take the old hard drive and will not retrieve any files. We have to retrieve the files first. Thanks for the help. I kind of knew what the answer would be- but thought I would ask in case there was some magical trick!

  • How to migrate site from one account to another

    I want to migrate site from one account subscription to another account subscription. Both account owners are different.

    I'm afraid you cannot transfer purchased items from one account to another: this is a limitation imposed by the copyright owners. However recent purchases from the iTunes Store are not DRM-protected so you may be able to play them anyway if you manually copy them across. You will need to drag the out of the original iTunes to a folder on the desktop, and then transfer that to your new Mac and drag them into iTunes there. Try it with a few there and see if it works.
    Should you have any movies, though, these cannot  be transferred.

  • Transferring email addresses from one account to another

    I'm not sure if this is a good place to post this but after spending a good bit of time on the phone with FiOS customer service and technical support I just feel like venting my frustrations and hope that maybe someone could give me a valid explanation of why this cannot be done.
    To give a brief (hopefully) summary of what's going on...
    My wife and I are currently in the process of moving from Florida to Maryland because of the current job market and economy situation.  As always...the moving process has been a "blast".  For at least a few months we will be "between" homes and will be staying with friends.  Because of this we had to cancel our FiOS service (which I did last week and it will be shutting off sometime today).  Since we've been very please with the actual service FiOS provides we have (or maybe I should say "had") every intention of signing back up with Verizon once we're in a new home in the Maryland area.
    So here's where the trouble comes into play...I contacted Verizon to see if it would be possible to somehow transfer our existing Verizon.net email addresses from our account to my friend's account (the person I'm staying with).  You would've thought I was asking for a year's worth fo free service.  Initially I was told by customer service that this can't be done.  They explained that an email address is like a phone number and two separate accounts cannot have the same email address.  Thanks for the newsflash!  I explained again that what I wanted to do was move my email addresses so they would now be associated with my friends account.  This didn't seem like such a horrible request considering my friend pays for FiOS service and with that gets 9 available email addresses....and was only using 2 of them.  She ultimately just told me it was something that couldn't be done.  But she did inform me of the "Verizon Your Domain" service that would allow current FiOS subscribers to associate their Verizon.net email account with a new domain name that you create.  It would cost $20 per year and would allow you to keep your Verizon.net email if you canceled FiOS service.  This sounded like an ok option.
    But still -- I was curious why I couldn't transfer email addresses.  So I then contacted technical support.  This time it was explained to me that an email address was like a social security #.  It couldn't just be given to another person.  Great analogies in use at Verizon....I give them that.  I told the guy I was a fellow "techie" and asked him for a more detailed explanation.  That's when it got good.  That's what killed me.  He spent all this time talking about ACL's and routing and how email addresses couldn't be moved because "you're talking about 2 million addresses".  Long and short he was trying to say the Verizon email system was just too complex.  Finally I told him that it had to be something that could be done....and his exact words were "well sure it can be done...but we're not going to do it if you're not paying for a service".  Wow!  Great response!  I've been a paying customer of FiOS for about two years.  I've had some form of service with Verizon for about 15 years (from phone service to mobile service with V-Wireless).  I fully understand that I'm no longer paying for FiOS service.  But my friend is.  And he has 7 email accounts he's not using.  So why couldn't they be moved?  Because the system is too complex?  Give me a break.  Like this guy finally admitted...it boils down to money.
    Finally I gave up.  I told my wife that we'd just have to deal with switching to a new email address.  Life will move on.  She wanted to try the "Verizon Your Domain" option though.  She started doing the process online...had some questions....and decided to call customer service.  She got transferred around to three different people...the last of which told her "you need to call a different department" and then CLICK. 
    Great, great job Verizon.  All I ask is if someone could give me some sort of response that makes sense.  If you just don't want to offer the transfer option then tell me. 
    I expect to be in a new home within a month or two.  And suddenly Comcast is looking very good.

    Well, CS was right when they said that Verizon cannot transfer your email to another account. In order to do that they would have to overwrite the email of your friend ( I dont think your friend would apreciate that ). This is due to a limitation on the email system.
    However, you may have another option. If you are going to be getting Verizon service again in the realitivly near future (4-8 weeks or so), Then after your acount is closed, contact tech support. If you get the right agent they will "enable" your email. That way you can continue to use it even though you dont have service any more. Now they cant do this for long but for temporary it can be done. Then once you get your service back, they can then move your existing email to your new account. (this can now be done as they will overwrite your new email with your old).
    Now if your going to be without Verizon service for more than a couple months, you may be out of luck but this is one option
    umm, oh bhoy!
    In fact, a "repoint" of an email address CAN be completed onto another account AND it does not overwrite anything on the receiving account.    Each acount, whether its a FiOS account or a copper account, has an account number.   The email address is assigned to the account number.    The email address can be "repointed" from one account to another, as an 'add-on' to the new account, then it can be 'repointed' back to another account later.    HOWEVER, the contract does say that you must have a valid account.  AND, Verizon cannot (no company can) allow you to manipulate someone else's account.  
    as to the "after your acount is closed, contact tech support. If you get the right agent they will "enable" your email", well, the fact is that the account has to be provisioned to an address.   So, though I have come accross accounts that seemed to still be "on" after the listed close date, it was not something that verizon's tier 1 tech support can effect (that's who you get on the phone when you call tech support) (note that 'sales' could not do this for you, either)   So good luck with that.
    What happens is that Verizon will not allow anyone to take your email addresses for at least 6 months. 
      Before you cancelled you may have had an option to have a notice auto-replied to any email that gets sent to your email address, for a limited amount of time, like they can do with a telephone number ("this number has been changed to . . . . . ")  that "this email address is temporarily suspended, or something. . . . I said MAY have had the opportunity. .. .   but if it was me, I would get to where you are going and make sure they have Verizon internet account already   and have them call verizon tech support (so they can verify their account info)  with you standing there so that you can verify your old account info and immediately and plainly ask if you can have an email "repoint" done for you.

  • Importing iweb site from one mac to another

    i have a website made with 09 on my g5 tower and published to a host. I have a copy on a thumb drive so I can work on it on my pb when I travel but I can't seem to navigate to it or open it. I know this must be possible but I cannot find out how. Thanks in advance

  • Deleting iweb site from mobileme

    I have moved my web site to a new hosting service.  All OK. 
    However, I realise now that I did things in the wrong order really.  I wanted to leave a stub on the old MobileMe site redirecting my audience.  I did this by deleting my website from MobileMe on my iDisk (I stupidly did not delete the index.html file - but have realised my error and redeleted my 'new' stub website and the index.html file and then republished.  Even though I gave the site the same name as my old site MobileMe has insisted on changing it by taking off the last letter and adding _1, so that when anyone tries to visit the old site they just get a whole lot of stuff from MobileMe which is not useful.
    I realise now I should first have duplicated my site - given the duplicate a new name and published this to the new host, deleted all the pages from my original website except the new Home page, and republished this to MobileMe.  Alas I did not do this.  Is there any way of getting my 'new' marker website to publish to the original MobileMe address? 
    I guess it's no big deal really.  Mine is not a major website - it's just a family history website (now at www.dearmanmollett.id.au - originally http://web.me.com/dearmanmollett/Dearman_Mollett_Family ( think))  After all MobileMe will make it all disappear anyway on June 30 I assume - but I would really like to delete all trace of the former website except for a marker site redirecting traffic.
    Hoping at the very least that my problem will help others.

    You could replace the first page of the old site on MMe with a blank one containing an HTML snippet with the following code:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    parent.window.location = "URL TO SITE YOU WANT TO REDIRECT TO"; </script>
    Thanks to Cyclosaurus for this code
    When a visitor lands on the page they will immediately be redirected to your new website.

  • IWeb - Moving iweb site from one mac to another mac.

    Hi,
    I am using iWeb 08 and would like to move the iWeb site that was created on one mac to another mac to continue editing on the other mac. Any one now how to do this.
    Thanks
    tsofa

    Hi Tsofa,
    You need to locate and copy the Domain.site2 file which iWeb creates.
    By default this is usually located in User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
    You can copy this to any location on the other mac. As long as you use this file to start iWeb, it will recognise it as your default.
    If you want to create a new one, but still keep the old, just rename the file and start iWeb, which will generate a new Domain.sites2 file

  • Moving iweb site from one comuper to another

    I just brought a new imac, i have been using my powerbook to work on my site, bu tnow i want to be able to work on my site on the imac as well. but i don;t know how to transfer my pages to the new computer? help please anyone

    There is only one file that you need to move from your PowerBook to your new mac....it is named "Domain". You can find it on your hard drive in the /Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ folder.
    1. Launch iWeb on the new mac at least once, then quit. This should create the default folder pathway and a blank Domain file.
    2. Copy the Domain file from your PowerBook to the new mac and replace the preexisting Domain file in the same folder pathway as the original.
    3. Launch iWeb and you should see your sites.

  • Moving iWeb site from one computer to another

    Hello,
    I tried looking for an answer to this, but couldn't find one that was specific to this question.
    I have iWeb on my computer at home, but I've created a site on a friends computer (using iWeb) and want to add this recently created site to my computer at home. I know I can copy the Domain file, but if I put that into my iWeb folder at home, won't that overwrite all the sites I've already created?
    My question is: is there anyway to add a previously created site on a different computer to my existing roster of sites created on my home computer?
    Thanks!
    Blair

    Hi Blair,
    You cannot combine all the sites into one Domain file, and you would not want to do this anyway, even if you could; and yes, if you place the other Domain into the same path on your home machine, you will replace the Domain file that is there now.
    What you should do to manage both sites/Domains from the same machine is change the default location of the Domain files to a folder structure, and manage the Domain files from there.
    Create a couple of folders and name them, "Home Domain" and "Friend's Domain", for example. Place the Domains inside of these folders, and when you want to work on sites within a specific Domain just open the respective folder and double-click on the Domain file inside. iWeb will open and you will see the sites contained in that Domain as you have always seen them.
    You will be able to move back and forth between these Domains created on different machines very easily this way.

  • Transferring a picture from one account to another

    We have three accounts set up in our computer. I would like to use a picture that I downloaded into iPhoto and set it up as the desktop picture in my daughter's account. How can I do that?

    Share the iPhoto Library:
    Enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    You can drag the Photo from the shared library to another one in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.

  • NEED HELP ASAP! Transferring ipod touch from 1 account to another.

    My children just returned from trip to dad's where they each received ipod touches that dad synced to his account instead of waiting till they got home to sync to mine. We already have a very well established account we have had for years so I need to pretty much reset their ipods to my account. Not too worried about the 2 apps that were bought will just replace those. Can anybody help me with this issue. Thanks!

    Try this:
    You Don’t Want to Sync Info on iPod touch to Your Computer
    Replace contacts, calendars, mail accounts, or bookmarks on iPod touch with
    information from your computer.
    Replace iPod touch information:
    1 Open iTunes.
    2 As you connect iPod touch to your computer, press and hold Command-Option (if
    you’re using a Mac) or Shift-Control (if you’re using a PC) until you see iPod touch in
    the iTunes sidebar. This prevents iPod touch from syncing automatically.
    3 Select iPod touch in the iTunes sidebar and click the Info tab.
    4 Under “Replace information on this iPod touch,” select Contacts, Calendars, Mail
    Accounts, or Bookmarks. You can select more than one, if you like.
    5 Click Apply.
    Information of the selected type is erased from iPod touch and replaced with what’s
    on your computer. The next time you sync, iPod touch syncs normally, adding
    information you’ve entered on iPod touch to your computer, and vice versa.
    (user guide page 106)
    All other media content will be erased when you sync for the first time with your Mac and replaced with what's in your itunes library.

  • How do I transfer Itune credit from one account to another?

    My father mistakingly put $50 into his account and thought he could transfer most to me (as he won't be needing the full amount). Is there any new updates as to transferring Itunes credit from one account to another. If not, Is there a way where i can use my personal devices, and use the Itunes credit that my father won't be neeing?
    Thank you in advance.
    J

    Either ask the iTunes Store staff to put the entire balance back onto the card, or your father to pay you an amount equal to the credit he won't need.

  • I need to change my iWeb site from my macbookpro to my iMac, can't seem to do it, any help???

    Hello hello,
    I need to change my iweb site from one mac to another, please can any one help?
    thank you, Joanne

    Picture :
    In Lion the Library folder is hidden. It's mentioned almost daily in this forum.
    This page with movie explains how to display that folder and shows how to move domain files around with iWebSites.

    I'm sure our resident technology experts and iWeb aces will repeat the same answer.

  • Merge iweb sites from multiple user accounts on same computer

    With the previous iweb version, my children created their own iweb sites on their own users, but all under my own .mac account. It worked great.
    But now with the new "upgraded" iweb '08, that isn't allowed anymore.
    So, I created a new user on our computer for all of us to use to maintain our multiple iweb accounts on.
    How can I move multiple iweb sites from multiple users on the same computer into one user?

    Each of the user's work in iWeb will be contained in a single file, Domain.sites2, which can be found in this location on the hard drive for each user account. You will need to copy all of these Domain.sites2 files to an external drive, or, at the very least, burn them to a disk to make them transferable from one user account to another. A flash drive also works great for this.
    Once you have made all of these Domain files accessible from the new user account that you created, you will still have a formidable task ahead of you, i.e., publishing separate sites, from separate Domain.sites2 files, to the same .Mac account/directory. In other words, bringing all of these Domain files together for access by a single user account will not solve the problem. You may very well be able to solve the problem with things the way they are, but it will involve some shuffling of Site's files on the iDisk prior to publishing.
    The method I'm going to give you has worked well for me. So far, here in the forums, I've read posts from (2) other users who were also successful. Conversely, I know of at least (3) other users who have been unsuccessful with this approach. I sure hope it works for you.
    Open System Preferences and go to .Mac. Turn syncing off, if it is on, and leave it off.
    Now, in Finder, navigate to the current Site files on your iDisk, following this path:
    Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/NameOfSiteFolder
    Drag the Site folder that is named for your site, (not the directory Site folder), back one level on the iDisk, into the Web folder. This is where some run into difficulties--you may get an error message that the folder is "in use, and cannot be moved". I have never gotten this message, and am able to move my Site's folders around with no problem on the iDisk.
    If you are successful moving the folder, choose one of your other accounts on your machine, launch iWeb, and Publish all to .Mac. The existing site on the server will not be deleted. Now, go back to the iDisk and move that site folder, (the one you just published), back one level, again, to the root Web directory. Publish your next site, from your next account.
    When you are finished publishing sites, just move the Site folders back to their original location on the iDisk--Web/Sites/SiteFoldersHere. All sites will be accessible from a browser using the web.mac.com/username/nameofsite url.
    It is important to use the Publish all to .Mac command in iWeb. A simple Publish to .Mac command will not put the correct index.html file in place on the server.
    Post back and inform us of your success.

  • Maintaining an iWeb site from multiple computers without MobileMe

    Hi,
    I've chosen iWeb '09 to create the web presence for one of my hobby clubs (RC aircraft). The club doesn't have a MobileMe account, and I've used the FTP upload feature in iWeb '09 to publish the site. This has been working perfectly for me, but what I'd really like is to be able to continue working from either my MacBook or my iMac, depending upon my location. Sometimes I'm away from home and have some free time to update the site, but other times I am at home and I want to work on it from the big-screen iMac.
    I realize that this can be done via copying domain files to a shared drive, and my thought is to share an external hard drive to both my network, and over the internet via an Airport Extreme. The only documents I was able to find regarding this referred to hosting on MobileMe. My only worry is that this may not be possible if I'm NOT hosting the site on MobileMe. In another life, I used FrontPage to publish such hobby sites, and it could work on the files from any copy of FP on any computer. Though I don't really miss FP as a whole, I do miss that feature.
    Yes, I know it will likely be suggested that the club open a MobileMe account. I have one and I love it, but let's face it... 100 bucks a year is a bit much. The club's entire web hosting service isn't even half that.

    Before I go off on a trip I upload a zipped copy of my domain file to the server. I can then download it onto another Mac in another location to work on it.
