Trying to transfer, can't find domain.sites file

I'm using iWeb '08 and have read some of the forums about how to transfer sites. Trying to design a site for my sister. I've read some of the other questions on this topic and people say to transfter domain.sites or domain.sites2 file. I can't find either. Someone explained it was in the library/application support/iweb folder. Well that folder doesn't even exist on my computer. Any help is appreciated.

Make sure you're looking in the right Library folder. It's the one in your home directory, not at the root level of the boot drive: User/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
It's the folder that looks like this in the icon mode:

Help! iweb can't find my site/files

Help!
I've been using iweb for 8 years. LOVE it. I've even successfully been using iweb seo. But yesterday went to make some changes to my site and opened Iweb and my site is gone. Usually it loads in all the pages on the left column all neat and pretty. But it looks like it's the first time i've ever opened the program. it's asking me which template i'd like to use.:( Plus i had a bunch of after market iweb templates loaded in too for options and those aren't there either.
some background...Last week i tried to clean up my desktop and dumped everything into one desktop folder. I thought that might be the problem so i pulled everything out of the folder today, including the domain sites file and the website folder. And it still can't find the site. Any help would be greatly appreciated and keep me from jumping out the window!
I've never had this happen before even with switching to 2 different computers over the years. its like it dumped it's entire memory.
I have an IMAC 21.5" 2009 intel core processor
running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
Thank you in advance for the help!

If you are using Time Machine to backup your files give this a try:
1 - download Find Any File.
2 - launch FAF and search your Time Machine hard drive for "Domain.sites2". It wil take a while due to the nature of the backup structure. The search results will look like this:
3 - locate the latest backup from before the problem occurred and drag it out of the scarch window to the Desktop.
4 - open the domain file with iWeb as described below:
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain 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 in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that 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.

Can't find domain file, or load published site

I have a site published to mobile me - sitename- and i later made some changes that i didnt want to push live to mobile me, so i published to a local folder and changed the name to sitename_alt. I closed iweb and wanted to load the site that is live, but i don't see any file open command or how to load the mobileme published site.
I found my domain file but when i click it, it opens the sitename_alt site, yet the mobile me site is still on live on mobile me ! I take it there is no "save as" scheme like on every other application in OSX ? Have i lost my ability to work on my sitename mobile me live site ?

Publishing your site to a local folder on your desktop is not saving it - this is html and iWeb can do nothing with this as it has no import facility.
The only way to update sites is via your domain.sites file found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
If you don't have this file then you will have to re-build your site from scratch.

TS3367 I can not find Facetime sitting in my Iphone 5c

I can not find Facetime sitting in my Iphone 5c. I tried all the steps mentioned in Apple support but, it's not working.
I was using it ok when I was in Qatar where I bought my iphone but, once I moved to germany I installed new german SIM card and since then I never could find FaceTime again.
is it because I should change my apple store to German store or change my address I dot know.
Please can any one help

On this page: iPhone: Wireless carrier support and features
See footnote 5 under "Middle East".
FaceTime may be unavailable if your device originates from this region and becomes unlocked or is used in another country.
Facetime was disabled because you removed the phone from the country of origin and are now using a foreign SIM. You will not be able to use facetime on that phone at all unless you are in Qatar and using a carrier in Qatar.

I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to.. When I've tried to download and install again

I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to.. When I've tried to download and install again it says that the "Object Already Exists." It may exists, but it is not visible in the file or in my list of programs on the Startup Menu.

You should not have to uninstall Premiere Elements 12/12.1 in order to install and run Premiere Elements 13 on the same computer unless your computer is overloaded and the computer resources are compromised. Just use one program at a time.
Can you still use 12/12.1 on this same computer that will not let you use 13?
What specific Window operating system are you using?
Let us go through the usual drill...
1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
2. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
3. Did you install the program with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
4. Disable the SLCache Folder found in Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
Local Disk C
Program Files (x86)
Common Files
Adobe
and in the Adobe Folder should be the SL Cache Folder that you delete or disable by renaming the Folder
from SLCache to SLCacheOLD.
5. Are you running the program as Administrator and is the latest version of QuickTime installed on the same
computer as Premiere Elements 13?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thank you.

Hello,
the way is written there Activation & deactivation help >>> (see there only to understand the procedure) Common activation problems >>> "Activation limit reached for [product]. This serial number has already been activated on 2 computers." "Maximum activations exceeded."
>>> How to deactivate or sign out >>> A single license for Adobe software lets you install the applications on two computers—for example, at home and at the office. However, you can use the software on only one computer at any given time.
If you want to install the software on a third computer, deactivate the software on the computer on which you will no longer use the software. Then, activate the software on the new computer.

In Blurb trying to upload an album that I have prepared in Adobe, but I can't find any Adobe files that way.

I am in Blurb, trying to upload an album that I have prepared in Adobe ELements 10. To upload I need to navigate in my computer to whatever Adobe folder has the album, but I can't find any Adobe files that way. So I wanted to save the album to
an external drive where I could be sure to find them for the upload
But when I tried to copy the photo album, the dialog box said that the photos will be deleted from the main program. I didn't like the sound of that, so I chose "Backup" which seems to have copied everything from Adobe to my eternal drive, not just the photo album that I want. To make matters worse, but exported folder named for my photo album is not the group of photos that I assembled in Adobe.
How do I upload directly from Adobe the program on my hard drive so I can be sure it is the correct assemblage of photos?

The album photos are just the originals; there are no special copies in the album--it's just a list. Select the photos in the album, then go to File>Export as New Files and send the new copies where you want them.

Can't copy domain.sites from iDisk to harddrive

I thought it would be a good idea to move my domain.sites file from my local hardrive to iDisk so I could work on my web site while on the road.
I was wrong. It was a lousy idea. It takes forever to load, save, and publish. What a pain.
Now I want to copy the domain.sites from the iDisk to my harddrive but it won't do it. I get a message saying I don't have permission to read some of the files. ***! It's my darn file, I shouldn't need permission, but that's besides the point.
How can I get my domain.sites file of the POS iDisk and back to my harddrive?
Thanks everyone

Yeah, the whole Domain file on the iDisk idea always seemed iffy to me. Sorry to hear about your troubles.
Try this....try selecting your Domain file on your iDisk, then do a Get Info on it (Apple-i or File>Get Info). In the window that opens, look all the way to the bottom where it says Ownership and Privileges. Click on details. Click on the lock to make changes. See if you can change the ownership to yourself or maybe some of the read/write privileges there.
I wonder if this will make a difference. Let me know.

I have a non intel G5 and would like to download i-tune songs that I have recently purchased. I have tried everything and can't find the downloads. Did this G5 just become obsolete with itunes? If not what is the problem?

You can do it with Leopard but it depends upon the iTunes version which you did not reveal. Also make sure you are looking in the right place for purchases.
Consider buying a backup drive so you do not need to do this again. If you are going to run old hardware and software you need to live differently because yes, at some time you will find your version of iTunes no longer works. You're lucky it still works with Leopard. As you can see, some versions still work with the iTunes Store but not for repeat downloading.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends, "... back up your iTunes library. " (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).
Additional tip at https://discussions.apple.com/message/24176756#24176756
Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes if you have the sidebar displayed, or with the button at the top right.

You can re-download your available previous purchases.

Had hard drive renewed due to product recall (iMac) backed up complete system on time machine . Had the drive done got mac back tried to reinstall from time machine .The new drive tells me that the space has been taken up but can't find where the file have gone. Need to free up the space that the ghost file take up so I can drag drop from ex drive onto harddrive

Here's the scoop, new friend.....
When you boot into Time Machine you'll get the same OS X Utilities screen as you would if you booted into the Recovery HD. So, from there go into Disk Utilities to erase/format your internal drive. After that's done, back out to the OS X Utilities screen and select the restore option. Just follow the prompts to select the TM back up date you want to restore from and where to restore it to. Pretty straight forward.

Where can I find the iWeb files?

I just bought a new iMac and gave my wife my "old" G5. A week after the migration of files from the G5 to the iMac 09, we did some work on an iWeb document on the G5 that I want to transfer to the new machine.
Where can I find the iWeb documents/files in the G5? Must be in a library somewhere.

It is the domain.sites file that you are after and this is found at your Home User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
Don't make the mistake of going to the System Library or you won't find it - it is in your Home User Library.
Just copy the domain.sites file to the same location on your other Mac and double click it and iWeb will open it.

Domain.sites file

I've been poking through the discussions trying to solve my issue, https://discussions.apple.com/message/15079651#15079651, and have found that the domain.sites file should be in the library/applications support/iWeb folder.
My new/additional problem is I have no iWeb support folder. I looked through my Time Machine backups all the way back to December of last year and have no folder. There is also no file named domain.sites anywhere in the backup.
Any ideas on why not? Also, any ideas on how I can get iWeb to start working again would be a big help.

To be more precise, the file should be in :
~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
folder (note the uppper/lowercase characters and the missing s in Applications) where ~ is your Home directory.
If you copy that line and do Command-Shift-G in the Finder, paste the line and hit Return, you'll end in the iWeb folder where the Domain.sites2 file should be.
Whether or not the file is backup'ed is another matter.

How to move iWeb site with missing Domain.sites file

I've been asked to host a friend's iWeb site now that MobileMe is no longer an option. The problem is that the MacBook it was created with is long gone and the only original files remaining are the image files for the site. No Domain.sites file. They are also not sure which version of iWeb was used, if that even matters. Initially I was thinking we could just access the existing site using ftp and go from there - upload the site to my hosting account and use Dreamweaver to maintain it, but everything I've read seems to point to 'Not gonna happen that way'.
Is there a way to transfer an existing iWeb site hosted on MobileMe to a new hosting account and be able to work on it with another editor, all the while not having the original Domain.sites(2) file?
Thanks much,
Mark

Quite a few people are moving to other drag and drop style editors like Sandvox and RapidWeaver although they aren't really any better - just more expensive.
I advise people not to use iWeb for new sites and just to keep it going to update existing ones until they are defunct or rebuilt some other way.
I quit using iWeb about a year ago due to the fact that it, and similar apps, can't create responsive designs for mobile devices although I did figure out a stop gap design for iPhones...

My system was re-set during repairs and I have lost my Firefox bookmarks. Are these stored anywhere on the system? I did a full backup of documents and programme files before repair, but can't find any bookmark file.

I did not do backups of the bookmarks regularly, since I thought these would be saved somewhere. However, I can't find any bookmark files on my backed-up system.

Thanks - now I can see an applications folder, and have found a .default file, hope this is the one. Should I now follow these instructiosn to restore my profile, or just go to organise bookmarks and import the default file?
Copying files between profile folders
Note: Firefox must be closed down while copying files between profile folders.
1. Open your profile folder:
* (Firefox 3.0 and 3.5): See How to find your profile
1. (Firefox 3.6): At the top of the Firefox windowOn the menu bar, click on the Help menu and select Troubleshooting Information.... The Troubleshooting Information tab will open.
2. Under Application Basics, click on Open Containing FolderShow in Finder.
2. From the menu at the top of the Firefox windowbar, select FileFirefox and then select the ExitQuit FirefoxQuit menu item.
3. Right-clickHold down the Ctrl key while you click on a file you want to copy and choose Copy.
4. Open the new Firefox profile folder.
5. Right-clickHold down the Ctrl key while you click inside the profile folder and choose Paste Item.
Repeat steps 2-5 for each file you wish to transfer over to your new profile folder.
While copying your personal data from an old Firefox profile to a new Firefox profile, it is possible that you could copy over the file that is causing the problem you are trying to get rid of! The more files you copy over, the greater the chance of this happening. It is therefore recommended that:

Retrieving damaged domain.sites file

My domain.sites file has been damaged and I can no longer access my blog pages. Does anybody know if there is any way to retrieve and rebuild them from either the i.disk or the .mac account?

If my guess is not wrong, I had the same problem and after "googleing" for long hours and reading barely all the post I basically will have to disappoint you. Apparently there is no solution. It seems to be some corruption with the index.xml.gz file and unless you are a hardcore programmer and manage to edit that file at "code-level" there is no human solution available for restoring that file...
Sorry for the bad news! But if you do find a solution, please post it!
Cheers,
