Use Mac to make changes to iWeb Sites created with MacBookPro

I created two web sites on my MacBook Pro and would like to do additional work on them using my Mac desktop. The sites are saved on my MobileMe account. I launch iWeb on the Mac desktop and can't see the other Sites. How can I work on these with both computers?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You will need to copy the Domain.sites2 file from the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on your MBP to the same folder on your Mac desktop. If you don't have such a folder on the desktop Mac just create it.
If you plan on moving between computers frequently for managing the sites put the domain file on a flash drive formatted for OS X Extended (journaled) and open the file on that.
Or you can try the method described in this online MacWorld article Managing an iWeb site from multiple Macs
Be sure to read the warnings in the linked page from the article.

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.

Can I use iWeb to make changes to a website created in Dreamweaver?

can I use iWeb to make changes to a website created in Dreamweaver? How would I do this? I didn't create the site and don't know Dreamweaver, but I figure I could learn iWeb quickly.

No, iWeb cannot open or change existing sites no matter what other program created them.

I have iWeb '08 and just switched from Mobileme to GoDaddy and using Filezilla. Now when I make changes through iWeb it doesn't actually publish to my desktop folder. In fact, it doesn't publish at all but says that it did.

Choose the destination in the publish settings page as shown in the second example on this page...

Can no longer make changes on my site.

As the title says, I can no lonfger make changes to my site.
I have checked and rechecked the site access details and they are correct. Pressing the "Test" button under the Advanced settings in the site definitions for "Remote Info" tells me that Dreamweaver MX2004 connected successfully.
Can anyone tell me what might be wrong?

I have been in touch with the hosting company and they have sorted the problem out for me. Thank you.
I don't see what the operating system would have to do with such a problem anyway .....
And thank you to Chris and to Murray for your responses.

Editing a site created with Iweb - with another program

Hello,
I built a website for a friend and he wants to be able to make small changes on it from time to time and I downloaded a WYSIWYG editor and none of them are compatible with sites created with Iweb...
Does anyone have any suggestions? He runs a windows machine.
Thank you so much!!!

Well, not really. A lot of people have their sites built for them and then, with a little guidance, can change out photos, or do a little editing here and there. So your idea certainly has merit.
The problem is, iWeb is a unique html generator. It stores everything you create in the application in a single file, (Domain.sites2), and only the application itself can open this file for editing. iWeb doesn't even create the html until you publish the site, either to a folder or to an Apple server. iWeb also changes many things into .png files--including text--believe it or not, in a well intentioned effort to cross platform better with other browser applications. So even simple text editors, which would normally be fine for changing small things in most websites, will struggle.
Your idea was a good one; it is iWeb that isn't a good candidate for it.
You must therefore now convince this person to become an Apnewbie, and buy a Mac!

How to change SelectionColor in TLFTextFielfd created with new TLFTextField(); syntax?

How to change SelectionColor in TLFTextFielfd created with var txtTest:TLFTextFielfd = new TLFTextFielfd(); syntax ?

You have posted in the AS1/2 forum. If you are using a TLFTextField, it can only be used with AS3. You might need to repost in the AS3 forum if you truly intend to use the TLFTextField. As far as I can see there is no SelectionColor (or selectionColor) property for the TLFTextField.
Also, in every instance of the word you have mis-spelled it...
"TLFTextFielfd" should be "TLFTextField"

Changing my iWeb site from another computer

Hi,
So I built my iweb site from my laptop. What do I need to do so I can make changes from and save it to my G5?
Regards,
Ty

dual 2 GHz G5 Mac OS X (10.3.7)

What do I need to do so I can make changes from and save it to my G5?
Ty, easily done. Just transfer your Domain.sites file following these instructions. The only difference is you are going from laptop to desktop machine.

How do I delete sites created with iWeb and posted with .mac after a format

I am confused about how to delete a couple of sites that I created with iWeb and posted with my .mac after I did a format reload?
I have tried everything. The original files are not on my MacBook Pro because of the format.
I also see them in my idisc, but I is my understanding that on my MacBook Pro that I can delete the files, but they are hosted online. On the online idisk I cannot delete them because there is no option. Please help!!!

Using the file menu in Finder:
Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/YourSitesAreHere
Highlight selected files and Command/Delete. You will receive a drop down asking you if you are sure; click OK and the files/sites will be deleted immediately from the iDisk.

Make a PDF with a Mac, NOT using Mac PDF maker

I am suffering from blurry text when making a PDF in Mac OS 10.6 (using "Save as PDF" in the Mac printing dialogue).
The software company has confirmed the problem. They suggested using CutePDF to make a PDF because it does a better job. CutePDF is Windows only.

Also, could it be a problem with the software you are using (you didn't mention what it is?)
It is ViaCAD 2D. My text is razor-sharp when viewed from within ViaCAD. However, when I make a PDF of my drawing using, File > Print > Print PDF my text comes out blurry.
http://www.punchcad.com/p-6-viacad-2d3d.aspx
From the ViaCAD Fourm:
"This is an old and contentious issue that appears to effect some Mac users and not others.
The only work around I have found is to print to EPS (Postscript) in the print dialog, and then convert the EPS to PDF in Preview. Sadly the EPS output from the print dialog is also broken in that it will not support anything larger than 8.5 X 11, so that will not work for you.
The other work around might be to try and export the whole drawing to Illustrator using the File / Export dialog, but again that is also sometimes buggy for some people. The only good news is that the output that appears blurry on your Mac will probably look fine on a PC, or even another Mac as this does appear to be a very system dependent bug (which is why it never gets fixed)."

Multipul iweb sites problem with own domain name

hello all
i have currently 2 iweb sites (my own personal one with my own personal domain) and another site which has a podcast for my self and flat mates
the problem comes in this.
if i want to subscribe the podcast to itunes it trys to send it as www.garethmob.co.uk/flat6_band ect where the actuall band website does not sit on my own personal website
is there any way i can fix this by having the origional web.me.com/garethmob ect for one of the websites and the garethmob.co.uk for the other?
both are on my mobile me account
thanks for any help in advance
Gareth

If you have more than on site on your iDisk and go to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites, you will see that you have two website folders but only one index.html file.
If the domain name www.garethmob.co.uk (Site 1) is directed at that index.html file then that's the one that must exist in the Web/Sites folder.
When you upload another site (Site 2), its index.html file overwrites the existing one and the URL is then directed to the wrong site.
When you upload changes to the site with the MobileMe URL (Site 2), you must then upload a copy of the index.html file for the other site (Site 1) after doing this.
You can do this by publishing your Site 1 to a local folder and then put the index.html file inside a folder and trash the rest.
After you have uploaded changes to Site 2, go to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites and upload a copy of the index.html file for Site 1 by drag and drop.

Personal Domain changed but iWeb still remains with the old one

Hi,
recently I changed my Personal Domain on MobileMe. Unfortunately iWeb still remains with the old one: Even if I create a new iWeb-Domain the problem occurs. I also checked whether this is a local iMac problem or not but it isn´t unless I have the same issue with my MacBook Air using the same MobileMe Account. Every time I open iWeb the 'Settings Page' shows the old personal domain name (displayed in brackets behind the MobilMe Account information). At MobilMe the new Personal Domain name displayed as the active one.
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance
Mikl

I have this same problem.. Any help would be appreciated!!!

I bought a used mac air notebook the computer says it comes with iphoto but i cant find it help please

i need help finding i photo on my mac air

The license to use iPhoto is not transferable. It is included with new Macs, but it cannot be sold, so it will not be on any used Macs. You will not have iMovie or GarageBand either.
You must purchase your own copies of these apps from the App Store.
