How do I transfer iweb site to new macbook pro?

I used migration assistant to transfer from old macbook to new macbook pro. Both are using lion. When I open iWeb on the new computer it does not show my site. Both computers are connected by firewire, where do I find the files? This site is not published to mobile me, it is hosted by godaddy.
thanks
Joe

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've unhidden the library it's a simple matter of copying the domain file from your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on the old Mac to the same folder on the new one. You may have to create an iWeb folder on the new Mac if there is not one.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time 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.
Just launch the applicaiton, 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.
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 compiiled 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.

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.

Move iweb site to new account

I created an iweb site for my employer using my personal mobile me account. I would like to create a seperate account for the business and move the website to that new account.
With the transfer of the hosting of the site (re:cloud) I want to seperate my employers business from my personal account.
Thanks!

You will need to purchase a domain name and hosting service for the business account. Since MobileMe is going away after June 30th, it would be best to start from scratch with a new host and domain name.

Opening old iWeb site on new computer?

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and now want to work on my blog with iWeb. I published my site to a folder on my old iBook and then transferred it to the Pro with a usb drive. Now how do I open my site in iWeb on the new computer?

I published my site to a
folder on my old iBook and then transferred it to the
Pro with a usb drive. Now how do I open my site in
iWeb on the new computer?
Publishing your site to a folder is useless for your purposes. You need to transfer the Domain file which created the site to your new machine.

Old iweb site into new iweb?

Recently had to redo my computer. My iweb site is out there on mobile me and I downloaded the folder. I can't figure out how to set it up so iweb will open this site so I can update it...

Unless you have the domain file that was used to create your site you will have to rebuild it from scratch. iWeb can't read/import html file. However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the creation of the new site.

How can I still edit my iWeb site on new iMac

My mid 2007 24" iMac which has served me well has memory problems. I now work with much larger projects ( Logic Studio + video ) than earlier, and have to continually keep clearing the memory as I work. I have the maximum 4 GB RAM ).
This is halting progress so seriously that I'm considering changing it for a new iMac .... 27".
My question is: How can I still edit my iWeb site on a new iMac, when iLife is no longer included, and so presumably OS 10.7 doesn't support iWeb ?
Will be grateful for insights.
Thanks,
SeaDream.

Well thanks. Sounds so complicated, though. Would another option be to backup my present Mac HD ( with Snow Leopard ) to an external HD and simply edit iWeb from there ?
As long as I also backed up this external HD, would this be a possibility ?

I want people to be able to download videos from my iweb site. New to this...how can I do this?

I made an iweb site but used "gallery" for videos that people could download. Now "gallery" is going to disappear but I want people still to be able to download my videos if I choose. I thought I would put this option on my iweb site but don't know how to do it? Any suggestions.

Create a zip of your movie files - Finder/File/Compress - and upload them to a folder on the server.
Create a text or image hyperlink to each one and the file will download when clicked...

This page explains the method for PDFs which is just the same for most any file...

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,

I can't see my iWeb site on iPage hosting

I made my site in iWeb after upgrading to LION
I bought my domain name and published my site to the iPage hosting service
my site should appear at www.positivelyproudtobeme.com However, what shows up when I go to that URL is a blank white screen or a redirect page saying the site hasn't been created yet.
When I log into my ipage account directly, I can see the pages on preview, but can't get them to publish.
Can anyone help? Please!

The index.html file you have in your root folder is - more or less - blank. You need to upload a new copy. Try publishing the who;e site again using the iWeb FTP.
The external index.html file is slightly different to the one inside the website folder.
Your index.html ...
<HTML>
</HTML>
What it should look llike...

Editing iWeb sites from new MacBook

I just bought a new MacBook, and how do I transfer all my photo galleries under two site created in iWeb on my old PowerBook to my new MacBook? Is there a way to edit sites that I haven't created on iWeb on my MacBook that are hosted on my .Mac account that I published from iWeb on my old PowerBook? I still have the PB and I would prefer not having to go back to it to put new galleries under the old sites.
Thanks for your help

You'll have to copy your domain file over to the new computer.
Open a Finder window. By default, the Finder opens a new window showing your local user area. Starting at this window, the iWeb Domain file is located inside the Library folder, inside the Application Support folder and inside the iWeb folder. It's called Domain.sites.
Copy this to the same location on the new computer and when you open iWeb, it should see and use it.

Changed computers... want to use old iweb site on new one

Hi Guys
I have recently changed my iMac, All my iweb files are on my idisc, but i cant open or access them in iweb again.
Is there a way to import the files so i can continue editing my site daily as i used to on my old imac??
help me please!
I am a recent mac convert!

If you still have access to your old computer you need the "domain" file located in your user library/application support/iweb.
This file can be transfered to the same location on the new computer or a location of your choice and double clicked to access iweb.
If you don't have access to the file you pretty much out of luck. You can not import the published site back into iweb.
The domain file should always be backed up.
good luck

Import existing iWeb site to newer computer with iWeb (iLife) '09

I have a website I developed on my older Mac using iWeb (iLife '06) and I want to transfer it to my current iMac (Snow Leopard + iLife '09) to use the better tools (for FTP uploading of multiple sites)... I transferred the folders from the original site to my "sites" folder but it doesn't show up when I launch iWeb. HELP!

iWeb stores your website data in a domain located in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
Transfer this file to the equivalent location on your new Mac and then launch iWeb.
Your original file will be Domain.sites. iWeb '09 will then convert it to Domain.sites2.
Make sure you have a backup of the domain file before doing any of this.

Problem publishing my iWeb site to new server

I have a problem publishing my site to a new server HostGator.
I click publish, everything continues normally, then I get an ERROR notice:
Publish Error
There was an error communicating with the FTP server.
Try again later, or check with your service provider
Since I changed the settings for the new server all the iWeb pages symbols go pink every time I close and reopen iWeb. Once I have tried to publish and get the ERROR notice I see that most of the pages have turned blue (suggesting they have been correctly published) and the same 5 pages remain pink (suggesting they have not been published) I have used the HostGator link
http://gator694.hostgator.com/~carouge1/carouge-art/Welcome.html
to look at the uploaded pages.
All the pages are on their server file BUT the pages which remain pink on iWeb have problems. These problems (missing photos etc.) don't seem to affect the pages when the site is called up normally. The site is apparently still being uploaded to people’s computers through MobileMe eventhough I have changed the server settings! So I’m assuming the page problems will show up after MobileMe stops at the end of this month? I cannot find an explanation for the failed pages from HostGator or from the Apple online answers.
Grateful for any advice.

I am having a similar problem trying to upload from iWeb through FTP to MacHighway web hosting.
I am using iWeb 3.0.4, the latest version.
I have followed the instructions on the MacHighway site: https://customers.machighway.com/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=10
When I type "public_html" into Directory/Path window in iWeb I get the following message:
Testing failed.
The directory/path couldn't be found. Verify your settings and try again.
When I type "/public_html" or /public_html/" into Directory/Path window in iWeb I get the following message:
Testing failed.
A connection to mel.machighway.com couldn't be established. Verify your settings and try again.
Unlike carougeart, however, nothing gets uploaded.
