Where does iWeb save to and what's with red/blue site icons

anyone know where iWeb saves to if i want to backup the work i've done? also why the different colored globe icons when creating multiple sites? red and blue? anyone know the meaning?

Hi there !
when the icons change to red, this means that you have 'made changes' to those pages, and upon resaving/republishing..just the 'red' ones get uploaded to .mac
If publishing to a local folder, all files get re 'published' so it doesn't have any meaning, only if using .mac

Where does iWeb save the site file?

Sorry guys but this is a lazy man's question.
Where does iWeb save the site file when you click the save button?
Is it saved as a seperate file or is it hidden within the program?
I not talking about publishing it.

Yes there is...I'll refer you to Apple's own technote...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303670
But you probably don't want to keep it on your iDisk. The file could be huge and the back and forth network bandwidth involved may make iWeb opens and saves unbearably slow. I've always recommended one of those cheap USB flash drives to keep a potable Domain file on.
Has this been "helpful" to you?

Where does iWeb save the contents of my website now that iDisk is not available?

With the latest change to iCloud and iDisk not available anymore, where does iWeb save the contents of websites?
I looked for the files undel Library/Application Support/....but could not find the iWeb folder.
Any ideas please?
Thank you.

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in 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 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.

Does iWeb still exist and what does it run through?

Does iWeb still exist and what does it run through? Is it still part of iLife?

Apple has discontinued iWeb and iDVD and no longer sells the last version of iLife ('11).
You may still be able to find a copy of iLife '11 at other resellers. It, and iLife '09, still have iWeb and iDVD.

Where does iWeb save my site ?

Ok i am confused. Where does iWeb stored my web site ? And when it publishes it where does it copy it to ? What folders ?
Thanks
David.

Yes, all sites you create in iWeb are saved in the Domain file.
You have the choice to publish your site EITHER to a .Mac account (iDisk) OR to a local hard drive folder (for later upload to a web server). If you publish to .Mac, you won't find the site published anywhere on your hard drive.
(Of course, you can do both--but not at the same time. You could ostensibly publish first to .Mac, then do another "publish" to the hard drive.)
You site will get published to iDisk here:
iDisk\Web\Sites\iWeb

Where does iWeb save my individual .html files?

I'm using iWeb for the first time, and I'd like to upload some test pages to my domain to see if how things look before REALLY taking over my current index.htm page.
But I can't find where iWeb is saving my .html files so that I can upload them individually via Fetch.

Publish your site to a local folder or to the desktop. The individual html files are inside - including a copy of the index.html file.
If you upload individual files/folders you will probably break the site structure if you don't know what you're doing. You can upload the whole folder - and not the external index.html file - and get to your site from the URL.....
http://www.domain.com/FolderName/
.... or you can simply double click the local version of the external index.html on your desktop to launch your site in the browser without going to the trouble of uploading it via FTP.

Where does iWeb save to locally?

I'm trying to find my local iWeb file, but I'm not having luck. What do I need to look for and where?
Thanks!

It is called domain.sites. Though the .sites part may be hidden.
Here is where it is:
~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder/domain.sites
This is the file that must be backed up in order to have a safe copy of the data from your website.
OR
are you talking about the application iWeb? That should be in your Applications folder and probably an alias in the dock too.

Where does iWeb save local .html files?

The answer that keeps coming up is "domain". I see all my images, music, what-have-you, but not the actual html files. Are they there somewhere and I just missed them? I need to find them so I can upload single pages and the entire site every time I publish. I do not use .mac as my server, if that happens to make a difference.

iWeb doesn't make any html files until your either upload to .Mac or Publish to a folder.
The html files will be moved to your iDisk or found in that new folder.

I am trying to connect Garritan Personal Symphony to Logic Express and Garageband. A dialog box pops up and asks for plugin Garritan-P. Where do I find it and what do I do with it. I can't locate this plugin doing searches on any of the porgrams.

How to save applications and what to do with .dmg file

To be honest I think that it is much easier to download apps on windows, but maybe i'm just not doing something right here. It seems that every time I download an app I get a number of files that I don't know what to do with. I get the .dmg file that I save to my desktop and then there is the app icon, and then there is that little white rectangular box that shows up on the desktop when I am using it. It's like it's treating the app as hardware or something that can be ejected. Before I now it my desktop is cluttered with a bunch of these white boxes, app icons, and .dmg files. Anyone have any instructions as to how to manage my apps? Can I delete the .dmg file once i've installed the app? If not, where should I save it? What do I drag to Applications in the finder? the app icon, the white rectangular box, the .dmg file? Anyone know what i'm talking about? I just want to be able to go to my applications file, find the app icon and open it without having to worry about anything else showing up on my desktop. Thanks.

OK, the .dmg is a disc image. When this is mounted you get 'that little white rectangular box'.
When you open the mounted disc (that little white rectangular box) you will find all the files and .app application that you wanted. Copy these to your applications folder or anywhere else you want to put them then simply move 'that little white rectangular box' and .dmg to the trash. Job done.
Hope this makes sense

Where does iPhoto save imported files???? how do you "save"?

ok this is driving me crazy:
I've imported photos and movie clips from my camera through usb through iPhoto.
Where does iPhoto save these files?
I've opened iMovie to find the movie clip and I can't find it anywhere...
also: after editing a photo in iMovie, how do you "save" it?

Chris
You’ve a bit of a learning curve ahead of you as you obviously haven’t really understood iPhoto, what it is and how it works. You could do yourself a favour and have a look at the tutorials at http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#iphoto
To specific cases:
When you press "done" it doesn't save it (find the photo in its original file and open it with Preview, you'll see it hasn't been saved).
Yes, but it has! You see iPhoto will always preserve your Original file. So when you make edits it carries out these on copy of the file. You can see this in the iPhoto Window. There is no way to make iPhoto edit the original file.
I have opted for iPhoto not to duplicate my photos and keep its own library (to me that doesn't make any sense, my photos are about 15GB, I wouldn't want them to turn into 30GB for no reason!),
1. The best solution for that it to allow iPhoto to copy the files into the Library and then remove your own copies.
2. When you go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import', you are running what is called a Referenced Library. In a Referenced Library iPhoto will not copy the files on import, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this
it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file.
It will still create a thumbnail and,
if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
However, you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're concerned about accessing the files, there are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
so the problem still exists, why doesn't it save new photos in my pictures folder?
Because you told it not to. When you run a Referenced Library +you are responsible for File Management+. Remember that bit above where I said
1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures
You need to put the files where you want them, then import them to iPhoto. Iphoto has no control over any file outside the Library Package. So when it comes to deleting things you’ll need to remove the pics from iPhoto and then go and root them out from your folder structure by hand.
None of this is the case if you run a Managed Library.
or ask me where to save them?
Because that’s not what it does. Check out Image Capture for that.
I'm worried that if I now let it save all my new photos to its iPhoto library (which is basically a virtual library as I understand it)
What do you mean by a “virtual library”?
and in a year's time I change laptops I run the risk of loosing photos as I won't know which photos are were (now I can do a back up to an external drive simply by copying the folders I choose from the pictures folder.
If you run a Managed Library then backing up and migrating are both very simple. You simply back up the iPhoto Library or move it as the case may be. There are many, many back up utilities that will do incremental back ups if the Library: Time Machine, DejaVu Chronosync are several but there are a hundred more. Search on MacUpdate.
If you run a Referenced Library you must +back up the Originals and the iPhoto Library+ (to get your Albums, Modified Versions and so on). Migrating rto a new machine is a bear too, as you cannot allow the path to the files to alter. (See my pitfall no. 3 above.
Worst of all: a mixed Managed/Referenced Library: a recipe for data loss.
My strongest advice to you is to start over with iPhoto. Create a new Library: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library' and import 100 pics into it and explore it for a week or two. Get to know the ins and outs a bit and se how it works. Then decide if it’s the right app for you. By all means post back if you need more info.

I'm trying to use Dictation. Where does the text go, and how can I retrieve it? Thank you.

I'm trying to use Dictation. Where does the text go, and how can I retrieve it? Thank you.

You dictate after you open a blank page in any text editor. The text goes on the page.
You can use Text Edit for example (in your applications folder).
With the blank page open, go to the Edit menu and select Start Dictation. When you are finished, you save the file as you would any other document. You can retrieve it, edit it or anything else you want, because it is a file like any other you create with that text editor.

Where's the music on iTunes, and what's with the quality and compatibility?

I'm just curious as to whether anyone else has had this issue or not: Does anyone else feel like, after searching for specific songs, there's just little to nothing in the database? I feel like most of my searches are pointless because iTunes has either no data of my requested search and/or only has bits and pieces of it.
Another question I have: After having a slightly successful search, why am I left with low quality tunes? I mean, you can hear the compression... badly. (I know it's not my speakers)
Last question: If I'm paying for the song, shouldn't I be allowed to download a universal file? iTunes uses a unique format that no other application uses. In other words, more money has to be spend for m4a to mp3 converters (unless you're a cracker [not a racial comment]).
To me, I value iTunes and its team, so I'm sorry if I've offended anyone. I understand there are contracts involved with the artists and it's hard to please ALL of the subscribers. But seriously, where's the music on iTunes, and what's with the quality and compatibility?
Custom Windows XP Pro Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

Today I thought of finally putting lyrics on my songs. So I've been quite some time busy doing that, then I tried it on my iPad (2) and I can't find them. Just as the people above say. Then I went to search where I can find them and I found this page. I'm really dissapointed and I don't understand how something like this could happen. So I hope Apple will fix this soon.
(I'm just posting this so that Apple will do something about it)
