What FILE do I need again? (moving WEB SITE from one COMPUTER to another)

Can someone tell me what file I need?
I can't remember and what to do. It's my understanding that all you have to do is move the file to the same location on the new computer and it should open in the new location, correct?
You would think that iWeb would upload this to the web for easy access and ability to edit from any computer.
Thanks.
PS. Does anyone think iWEB will mature to a level somewhat more experienced, ala dream weaver, at least some more in-depth tools? I would love to see Apple develop iWeb more as well as a flash type of program as only Apple could create a program that is very complicated (FLASH) and make it somewhat easy. There are others out there for the PC, but none for the mac. I also think if Apple released a deep yet easy to learn flash tool that they would make some deep in-roads to developers. For the PC users, check out SWISH, and at one time, Adobe had a pretty good program too, can't remember what it was called, but they stopped developing that years ago.

You need ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2, where ~ is the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon. It's a package, not a file.

Moving iWeb site from one computer to another

Hello,
I tried looking for an answer to this, but couldn't find one that was specific to this question.
I have iWeb on my computer at home, but I've created a site on a friends computer (using iWeb) and want to add this recently created site to my computer at home. I know I can copy the Domain file, but if I put that into my iWeb folder at home, won't that overwrite all the sites I've already created?
My question is: is there anyway to add a previously created site on a different computer to my existing roster of sites created on my home computer?
Thanks!
Blair

Hi Blair,
You cannot combine all the sites into one Domain file, and you would not want to do this anyway, even if you could; and yes, if you place the other Domain into the same path on your home machine, you will replace the Domain file that is there now.
What you should do to manage both sites/Domains from the same machine is change the default location of the Domain files to a folder structure, and manage the Domain files from there.
Create a couple of folders and name them, "Home Domain" and "Friend's Domain", for example. Place the Domains inside of these folders, and when you want to work on sites within a specific Domain just open the respective folder and double-click on the Domain file inside. iWeb will open and you will see the sites contained in that Domain as you have always seen them.
You will be able to move back and forth between these Domains created on different machines very easily this way.

What is the best way to move my itunes from one computer to another and retain all files?

Web pages from one computer to another

Hi,
While in Italy for two months I made a large number of web pages on .mac from over 1000 pictures. These pages are on my MacBook.
When I returned I successfully transferred the pictures from my MacBook to my iMac.
HOWEVER, neither the smart albums or web pages (not smart) transferred.
Is it possible to export web pages from Aperture from one computer to another? How?
But how do I move the web pages from my portable to my desktop machine? -- And for that matter can you move smart albums from one machine to another?
Thank you.

yes. aperture is very flexible working with web sites and projects/albums
How?
what I do is build the web site, example, web journal and then "Export Web Pages." aperture will make a folder of your site with all the css, indexes, photos etc. you can then drag and drop this folder anywhere you'd like.
I export that folder into my local_site root folder in Dreamweaver and tweak the css from there
you can also use iweb
But how do I move the web pages from my portable to my desktop machine?
see above
-- And for that matter can you move smart albums from one machine to another?
yes. select the project in the project pane and export the project
in the other computer, open aperture and File>Import>Project... or Folders into Project (depending how you exported in the first place)

Moving iWeb data from one computer to another

I have an iWeb site on my old mac lap top. I can not get the data to transfer to the new laptop. How do I move all iweb entries from one computer to another?

I would say that if you created pages in iWeb, your ability to do this originated from a basic Domain file, and it is there, in your computer, somewhere. I have seen cases where it appeared as though work that was published to a folder and not 'saved' in the application didn't make it into the Domain file, but I haven't been able to replicate this situation.
Spotlight "Domain", and see what comes up. Also, make sure you are looking in your Home Folder location, not your main HD library.

HT203167 Moved iTunes library from one computer to another using external hard drive. Cannot play many files. Says they are missing but locates them in an archive file but still won't play them. Are the files themselves part of the .itl files?

Moved iTunes library from old computer (PC Windows 7) to new (PC Window 8) using external hard drive. Library listing shows all music but can only play a fraction of it. On the ones it cannot play it asks to locate, then refers to an archived version (an .itl file), and still cannot play them. Do I just need to copy the archived .itl over, or is that not where the actual media are (do the actual media files even exist on the new computer?)? Any advice or information on this would be helpful.

*Also...is there any way I can filter out all the tracks with the ! so I can delete the unplaying copies as they're taking up room in my iTunes? I know how to find duplicates, but then I have to go and delete each one individually...*
*Thank you!*

Moving music library from one computer to another

I need to rephrase my question: Is there a way to transfer my itunes library from one computer (that is being discarded) to my new computer that already has an itunes library on it? we have a new computer that my son put his library on, but we want to combine our libraries and use just the one computer to sync our music on each of our ipods. Thanks.

You can copy the music directly from the iPods. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

When moving my iphone from one computer to another, the apps do not follow and if I purchase an app on the new computer, it seems that all previous apps on the iphone will be lost How do I import the previous apps to the new computer?

When moving my iphone from one itunes computer to another, the apps installed on the original computer do not show on the new one. How do I get those apps to be recognized on the new computer without deleting them all from my iphone as it asks.

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
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 for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Moving iphone sync from one computer to another

Hi everyone,
I am about to switch from one laptop to another & would like to start syncing my iphone 4 on the new laptop. How do I do the transfer? I tried once and the iphone will sync any apps from the laptop to the iphone (none at the moment so it would erase all apps on the iphone) but not the other way round. Once again, I dont want to sync to both laptops, I just want to switch from one laptop to another one. For example, what happens if your laptop stops working, you cant sync/backup your iphone to another/new laptop?
Thanks

I have re-authorised my computer, but not synced yet.
All Mozy did was to copy everything under C:\Users\Mark Moss\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music, to a backup folder of the same name on mozy.com. So when I restored my hard drive's data, the iTunes was put back.
Under C:\Users\Mark Moss\Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications on my (repaired) laptop, I now don't have any mobile apps listed (I guess I'd forgotten to back those up but in any case they're on my iPhone) so I'm concerned that if I replace my iPhone, I'll lose the apps, which I want to avoid.

Two web sites from one computer to .mac

I'm trying to publish two web sites on .mac. I have two accounts, so that's not a problem. The problem is trying to get the original files and copies of both web sites to another user on my iMac. I can't locate my files. I've gone to the users/library//application support/iweb, but my files aren't there at all? iWeb works just fine, I just can't locate them. If I find them how would I get them to another user, so that I can publish the second web site to .mac. I know I have to log into another account on the same machine. I get the grasp of it all, I just can't do it. Thanks anyone.

If you can launch a site in iWeb by opening the application, then you must have a domain file in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
Are you sure you are looking in the library in your Home Folder and not the System Library?
When you find the file you can copy it to the shared folder but make sure you give the other user read & write permission.
You don't need to have two .Mac accounts or a second user account to have multiple sites.
You can have each website on a separate domain file or use the freeware application iWebsites to manage them.

Moving iweb site from one comuper to another

I just brought a new imac, i have been using my powerbook to work on my site, bu tnow i want to be able to work on my site on the imac as well. but i don;t know how to transfer my pages to the new computer? help please anyone

There is only one file that you need to move from your PowerBook to your new mac....it is named "Domain". You can find it on your hard drive in the /Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ folder.
1. Launch iWeb on the new mac at least once, then quit. This should create the default folder pathway and a blank Domain file.
2. Copy the Domain file from your PowerBook to the new mac and replace the preexisting Domain file in the same folder pathway as the original.
3. Launch iWeb and you should see your sites.

IWeb - Moving iweb site from one mac to another mac.

Hi,
I am using iWeb 08 and would like to move the iWeb site that was created on one mac to another mac to continue editing on the other mac. Any one now how to do this.
Thanks
tsofa

Hi Tsofa,
You need to locate and copy the Domain.site2 file which iWeb creates.
By default this is usually located in User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
You can copy this to any location on the other mac. As long as you use this file to start iWeb, it will recognise it as your default.
If you want to create a new one, but still keep the old, just rename the file and start iWeb, which will generate a new Domain.sites2 file

Moving iTunes library from one computer to another

I am new to this list, but hope someone can help.
I had purchased quite a few songs from iTunes store and also had copied some from disks.
I saved my whole iTunes Music folder onto a portable hard drive.
I changed computers, so I deauthorized the 5 accounts I had and authorized just my one currently used computer. I thought I downloaded all the music from the portable HD to the library, but apparently not...
Now, each time I try to play something in my library, it tells me it cannot locate the file. If I browse to the connected portable HD, I can find it and play it, but it seems that nothing transferred when I thought I moved the music to my iTunes account. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Gremblay

Take a look on this article: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive
My guess is that you just moved your iTunes folder to your new computer, and didn't consolidate the library (wich may have caused you this trouble). Maybe you should transfer your library again. Just make sure the original files are on your portable HD and don't erase them accidenatally)

I moved some songs from one computer to another with home sharing and now these songs will not play on iTunes on the second computer.

What can I do without redownloading the songs, since I don't have access to the first computer right now?

Does it give a reason for why they won't play, or is that a secret?
