Web already created with iWeb 06, what if I upgrade to iWeb08?

Hi!,
I'm a bit excited, yesterday I reviewed the new Iweb08 version and most of the features included can make my web life quite easy.
Before to upgrade I would like to have some advice from you guys.
I have a website with my own domain, I bought it through goddady, everything is already uploaded but it would be great to continue this project with the new tools contained on iWeb08.
- I would like to know if I can transfer my current website to iWeb08 without any troubles and work with it.
- I would like to know if some of you have experienced already this situation, one website developed with iWeb06,then upgrade to iWeb08. is everything okey?
- Also, my computer is a Macbook, the cheapest one with 512mb and 1,83 Intel processor, is that enought to run iWeb08?
Any kind of feedback is welcome.
Thanks in advance
Kind Regards

Hi Nathaniel
Thanks for your reply, I read the thread, and I'm a bit scared right now.
I don't want to loose my website (it's been three months working on it!), so thanks for the advice and good luck with your issue. On the other hand I found a solution on the support site.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305944
It reads like that:
Web ’08: How to maintain redirects for sites created in iWeb 1.x
iWeb sites published to .Mac have a new, simpler URL when republished from iWeb ’08. To be sure that people can still find your site using the old URL, be sure not to delete the folders from your iDisk in /Web/Sites/iWeb. These folders maintain redirects to ensure that iWeb 1.x URLs still work for sites republished from iWeb ’08.
mmm... what?... Excuse my stupidity, but if I buy in the future the new iWeb version, I will have to enable again my own domain name in godaddy?.......I'm getting confused.
I was wondering if you can explain to me, (as you will explain to a child), how to backup your site and upload it again, or where to find this information, just in case I have some future 'accident' with my site.
Thanks a lot.

  • How I do to open a website created with iWeb in other computer

    Hi,
    My web site was created with iWeb last year in other computer, a dead MacBook. I have a copy of my web files created with iWeb, and moved to my new computer, iMac.
    Now I want to edit my web using iWeb, but I can´t find the way to open the files to modify and actualize my web, etc...
    Does anyone know how to do this? can iWeb open and edit a web site created by itself?
    Help will be appreciated,

    Felix ~ No, only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. 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 a backup of your Domain file (e.g. via Time Machine), 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:

  • My website created with Iweb and hosted on mobileMe is not showing well on all computers. What could be the problem ?

    My website created with Iweb and hosted on mobileMe is not uploading well on all computers. What could be the problem ?

    I got a chance to look at it on a PC.  Totally hosed up. It loads incorrectly then parts of it go blank.
    I have a site that is based very much on one of the built-in templates and it works fine on the same PC.  It contains only text boxes, image placeholders, and images with "picture frame" borders.  Nothing fancy, no overlays, no extra code or anything. I haven't looked much at the other templates so I don't know if yours is mostly a template or how much you may have modified one or what tricks you may have done to get the look you wanted.  Whatever it is, IE does not like it.  Unfortunately, you can't really ignore them as was suggested; they make up a large part of your audience.

  • How many website can I create with iWeb?

    How many different webpages can I create with iWeb? I just created a site to show friends a slide show from a recent trip, but I need to create another webpage that will have video on it. It would be a totally different subject matter. I do have a .MAC account and not sure if I need to do anything with that so I can have more webpages.
    I guess what I am saying is that I am going to need different URL's for the webpages I am going to need to create and want to know how many you can have or create using iWeb.

    You can have multiple websites, each with multiple pages depending on the need. To make managing multiple sites easier, take a look at iWebSites. The limiting factor, as was pointed out, is the available space on your iDisk. I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
    If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

  • Website created with iWeb looks different in IE and Firefox than Safari-why

    So I spent a few hours working on my Home and About Us page. Then, while browsing this forum, I started seeing posts about how sites done with iWeb might not look good in IE and/or Firefox. I decided to test out my work. I zipped up my site files and emailed them to myself. I went to my Dell desktop and downloaded the files to that computer. I opened up the home page in Firefox first. The site seemed to look ok, and both the home and about us page links showed up and were functional (i.e. I was able to browse back and forth between the two pages). However, I had some bullet points on the about us page that had a green border around them. This rendered fine in Safari on my Mac, but in Firefox, the bottom line of the box was not connected! Why?
    After viewing in IE, I was depressed. The site didn't look at all like it should have. Not only that, but I couldn't navigate between the pages, since the links for home and about us were not at the top. What can I do to make sure that a site I create with iWeb looks good in Safari, IE, and Mozilla Firefox?

  • 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.

  • Why does my web page, created on iWeb, look correct on Safari but has thick black lines all over it in Firefox?

    Why does my web page, created on iWeb, look correct on Safari but has thick black lines all over it in Firefox?

    What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?  I assume those black lines are around photos or objects that have had a frame or drop shadow added to it, right?  If so that's a known issue. 
    There's a workaround for that in this tutorial: #7 - Converting Photos w/Frames, Drop Shadows and/or Reflections into a Single Image File.  That should get rid of those black lines/boxes.

  • Would like to re-create the webpages created with iWeb to iCloud and post

    Would like to re-create the webpages created with iWeb to iCloud and post to the internet

    Unfortunately, iCloud does not support the hosting of webpages. You will need to find a 3rd party web host in order to publish your web sites.
    Depending on the version of iWeb you are using you have a couple of publishing options:
    iWeb '09 (3.0.4) you can publish to an FTP Server or a local folder. ( With the built in FTP in iWeb you will end up with an address like "www.YourDomain.com/sitename/Home.html )
    iWeb '08 you can publish your website to a local folder. Then upload to your host with an FTP application like CyberDuck
    I have been using IX Webhosting for several years with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across. The have plans that start at $3.95 a mo (USD) and their customer service is top notch.

    Hi, I'm having problems with viewing a web page created with Adobe Muse CC latest release, I followed the various guides provided by Adobe, but the problem persists. The problem especially concerns the distorted display (the contents do not fit on the page, so it suits size automatically) to a mobile web page to be displayed not on a normal browser, but in a WebView.

  • Itunes will not open, message says library was created with earlier version. what now?,

    itunes will not open, message says library was created with earlier version. what do i do?

    Unless you just attempted to downgrade iTunes to an earlier verison this is probably a sign of a corrupt library.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

  • 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!

  • HELP! Can I view a site I created with iWeb using a personal domain?

    Sorry in advance if this question has already been addressed. I too am sort of a newbie to iWeb. I just purchased a domain name through Google Apps. I would like to create my website through iWeb using the domain name ("www.youngvoters08.com") that I already purchased through Google Apps.
    At this point, I'm incredibly confused. Is it possible to type in my domain URL (that I purchased through Google Apps) and have my iWeb website come up? I set up my personal domain through .Mac and I even tried publishing its contents to a folder (that was even more confusing). The personal domain option says it will take up to 48 hours to link to my domain.
    All I want for Christmas is to be able to type in "www.youngvoters08.com" and be directed to the site I created on iWeb (as opposed to creating my site through Google Apps). Is this at all possible? And does it require me to be patient for 48 hours?
    I'm afraid that the .Mac personal domain option means that I have to have already created a website with another service provider, and it doesn't mean that the personal domain I already purchased ("www.youngvoters08.com") will take me to the website I created through iWeb. I'm also weary that I wasted $10.00 by buying a personal domain through Google Apps, especially if I cannot create the contents of my website through iWeb.
    Did that make any sense at all??? (Sorry for the confusion and redundancy:)

    If you have both sites on one domain file - that is they both load into iWeb at once - click on the name of site 2 in the sidebar and drag it to the top of the list so that it is now in the #1 position. Now do a "Publish all to .Mac".
    Your domain name URL is being directed to the index.html file in the Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites folder. This file opens the site that is at the top of the list in iWeb or, if you are publishing your sites individually, the last site that you uploaded.
