Updating An Existing iWeb Site?

So, i have a great site, and I'm scratching my head as to figure out how to update my site using iWeb without REPUBLISHING the entire site again. I've searched all throughout iWeb Help but I cannot seem to find anything useful.
Help Anyone?

That option does not exist in either iWeb 08 or 09. In 08 it was either Publish All to MobileMe or Publish to MobileMe. The Publish option would just publish updated pages rather than the whole site.
In iWeb 09 the option that exists is ftp to MobileMe, ftp to server or send to a folder. I believe that if using 09, if any updates are made, just the changed pages are uploaded instead of the whole site automatically, to MobileMe anyway.

  • Updating & Editing an iWeb Site

    I am making a website using iWeb for a PC User and uploading it and giving them the exported iWeb file. Can they update or edit the site I create for them using a PC program such as www.pagebreeze.com or another PC Program? Do you have any suggestions? I won't be uploading it to .mac
    Thanks,
    Flippy

    No, they can't.
    Pages created in iWeb cannot be edited outside of the application, in any serious way. Some post processing changes can be made, but not efficiently for a PC user.
    Great opportunity to tell them what a great operating system OSX is....

  • Downloading Existing iWeb Site?

    Hello All:
    I recently bought a new Mac and lost my preferences and settings for the version of iWeb I had on my old Mac.
    I have an existing personal website that I developed using iWeb that is hosted on my MobileMe account.
    Question: How can I download the code and settings on my existing iWeb-developed site onto my new Mac. My new computer has a copy of iWeb on it. I can't seem to find any information on the iWeb application about doing this.
    Thanks!

    Mark ~ If by "code and settings" you mean the site itself, you cannot import a published site back into iWeb. Only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. If you still have that file on your old Mac, then you can transfer that to your new Mac.
    See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
    Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.
    If you don't have that Domain file on your old Mac, paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

  • Need to update another users iweb site

    I wan't to take over updating duties on another user's iweb site. They can't handle it so they'd like to defer to me. Is there a way to do this?

    You will need to obtain their Domain.sites2 file from their computer. It will be located in their User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Copy it to your Desktop, rename it to represent the site name, "Site_Name.sites2", and place in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Then drag that iWeb folder into the left hand pane of any Finder window so you can easily access the contents of that folder and select the site you want to work on.

  • Strange! Cannot update extensive, published iWeb site.

    I've been trying to research a problem in Discussions similar to my own but cannot come across a satisfactory answer.
    For the past two weeks, I've experienced very slow "Publish" updating of my extensive iWeb site. In the last 24 hours, I've been unable to update the webiste at all. Here's the error message:
    "Can’t create the file 'shapeimage2_link2.png.' The disk may be damaged, full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges."
    Mind you, I'm well sort of my iDisk capacity, have the current version of iWeb, am running a reliable high-speed connection and have not experienced any hard disk problems that I'm aware of.
    I have tried trashing the username/application support/iWeb/Domain file and letting iWeb build a new Domain file — to no avail. I've quit and rebooted — to no avail. I've run Disk Utility — to no avail.
    Suggestions? I'm at wit's end!

    Thanks, James, for your always helpful replies and information.
    Paul, here are two things I tried with some success. I deleted new blog material — those which hadn't published — and added, then published, each new blog one at a time. Somewhere along the line, one of the new blogs apparently corrupted the ability to publish all of them at once. Also, I launched iWeb, put the Domain file (username/application support/iWeb/Domain) in the trash then published. When prompted to save the new Domain file, I chose the folder where the old one resided. Subsequent publishes have gone a bit smoother.
    Still, one wishes iWeb were easier and more reliable for updates.

  • Accessing existing iWeb site via second computer

    My iWeb / Mobile me/ website was created and is maintained on my Macbook but I need to now update it from my office iMac machine.
    I can find no menu option or path that allows me to access my site from the iWeb application on the iMac - how is this done?

  • Linking another URL to an existing iWeb site?

    Is it possible to link another URL that I have registered (with GoDaddy) so that it connects directly with the URL associated with my iWeb site?
    Thanks so much for any advice.
    Steve Pressman

    Use masked web forwarding and forward your domain name to web.me.com/username/sitename.
    If you have used CNAME forwarding once, then you need to use web forwarding for your other domain name.

  • Connect to existing iWeb site

    OK, messed up my laptop and re-installed everything, then realized I hadn't backed up my iWeb site. So it is on the .Mac server, but my iWeb doesn't know it. How to get it reconnected (iLive v6 version of iWeb)

    Have a look at the following page
    http://retrieve.iwebfaq.org
    in addition to that you could work with hyperlinks linking from iWeb to the preserved copy on server of your old page.

  • Serious trouble to update / upload my iWeb-Site to MobileMe

    I have created a website with iWeb 11 and frequently updated this website from several locations while beeing on the road. Now while it became too many photo albums I restructured the site with a "my albums" site which organizes these photo albums. Now I attempted several times to update / upload the site. But first I became an error message that some file in one photo album would be missing. So I deleted that album and recreated it from scratch. Then I got the error message that the mobileme server wouldn't be avialble. And finally I only got the message that the website could't be published.
    I start to get upset. What can I do?
    Anything that helps is highly appreciated!

    Roxpat ~ Glad that worked out for you (and thanks for your appreciative words.) I'd heard good things about +Media Temple+ a year ago and had prompt responses to my email enquiries about speeds between their center in California and Spain. (In the end, though, I didn't need their services.)

    I will say that they seem accustomed to users who know what they are doing (that would not be me), and I find it difficult to understand what they are telling me to do.
    I agree; this was part of their reply to me:
    Well since you are in Spain you would not have the ability to take advantage of our “short path bandwidth”. Although our servers are all enterprise-grade, our data center is Tier 4 certified, and we use redundant fiber backbones to the Internet, there are many other factors involved that dictate the final speed you experience. Therefore, it is really difficult to say what your transfer speeds will be like with our service. We recommend conducting trace routes and ping tests to s1555.gridserver.com for insight into the network speed and routes between your location and (mt) Media Temple's (gs) Grid-Service.
    ...Yes, I thought, ...let me get onto those +"trace routes and ping tests"+ right away! (Presumably via +Network Utility+ in the Utilities folder.)

  • Downloading existing iWeb site from server

    I have a site hosted on an independent (non-Apple) server and accessed via FTP. The site was designed in iWeb but I lost the version on my Mac when a HD failed. Is there any way to download the on-line version into iWeb, so that I can make amendments and update it?

    None of the above.
    iWeb is a one way street. You publish your pages but you cannot get them back into iWeb.
    Unless you have a copy/backup of the domain file, you'll have to start from scratch. Usually by copy/pasting the text and images from your published webpages.
    The domain.sites2 file is located at:
    ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
    Where ~ is your Home directory.

  • Updating an existing web site.

    A web page developer created a site for our small business. He would like for me to to be able to enter the site in order to change photos, pricing information, and add new products. He is not familiar with Mac's and cannot help me with this.
    What software do I need in order to do this?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    You need to find out from your web developer just what they did. You need to find out what software they used to create the site, what kind of server is required to run the site, and where said server is located and how to access it.
    I am a little afraid that if they can't help you update the site from a Mac, they may have done it all in proprietary Microsoft .NET stuff and that means that you will have to either: 1) hire a new web developer to re-do it using a LAMP (Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP) architecture, 2) buy a PC and learn Visual Studio .NET, or 3) hire that web developer to maintain the site for you.
    Why do you think web developers like .NET?

  • 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.

  • Updating iWeb site from more than one computer

    I have had an iMac for some time and use it to maintain an iWeb site. I just got a MacBook and would like to be able to publish to the site from either computer. How do I get my existing iWeb site into iWeb '08 on the new MacBook?

    If you plan on moving between the two Macs frequently try using a flash drive.

  • 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...

  • Still having problems forwarding a domain name to my iWeb site

    I'm still having some issues linking another domain name I own to my existing iWeb site. I forwarded the other domain through my GoDaddy account, but when I try it with www in front of the forwarding name, it directs me to my MobileMe home page. Without typing in the www, the forwarding works just fine.
    I must be doing something wrong, but not sure where to adjust things.
    Thanks,
    Steve Pressman

    Steve,
    It sounds like your CNAME may not be set up properly. You'll want to make sure your CNAME www is forwarding to @ which will be the host where the domain is forwarding currently without the www. Here is a link with some instructions (see the section on "Adding or Editing CNAME Records": http://x.co/RBCW
