Where is iWeb?

I just got a new iMac G5 with iLife 'o6 installed, and I can't find iWeb anywhere in the Application folder or the Desktop/dock. Any idea where I can find it?

If searching for "iweb" in spotlight doesn't find it, you may want to try reinstalling iLife 06 from the disks that came with the computer. You can always add and remove things from the dock, which could happen accidentally. If re-installing doesn't fix it, call AppleCare. When I got my G5 tower over a year ago, I also bought Final Cut Studio. None of the eight installation DVDs could be read by the computer. AppleCare sent me new disks that arrived within three days of my phone call.

Does anyone know where the iWeb data files are located or what they are called? I can't find them. I looked in Finder for files named the same as my website, but found nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

If you erased or replaced your hard drive since iWeb was cancelled, then they are gone. Otherwise, if you have maintained backups then check those.
Usually such files are in the /Home/Library/ folder or a sub-folder.
Exposing the /Home/Library/ Folder
Pick one of the following methods:
A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.
B. Click on the Desktop, press the OPTION (⌥) button, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.
C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:
~/Library

Where are iWeb pages stored/saved?

Hi all. I'm building my first website using iweb. there is one (of only 3 so far) page that is apparently corrupted. whenever i click on that page name in the sidebar, iweb crashes, so i can't delete it using the edit/delete page dialogue.
if i can find where my iweb pages are saved, i'll just go there and then drag the page to the trash....
thanks

The pages do not exist until you publish them. The elements that comprise the pages are stored in the Domain.sites2 file/package that's located in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.
Are there any messages in the Console regarding iWeb that might indicate what's causing the problem.
Aside from the above you can try the following: create a new site and drag the two working pages to it. Then click on the first site's folder icon and see if you can delete the entire site. If that works then all you need to do is recreate that one page.
Also be sure to make a backup of the domain file frequently. Saves a lot of rebuilding in case something goes south in that domain file.

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 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 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.

Where is iWeb pointing for files?

Where is iWeb pointing for files?

I would like to change the path where iWeb is pointing. (I have a saved file in iWeb that is no good and would like to use another file, currently saved on my desktop.) So hence, I would l like for iWeb to 'point' (open/utilize) the another iWeb file saved on my desktop. How do I redirect iWeb to utilize the proper file?

Where is IWEB domain file in lion time machine backup

I have read around and know how to locate the iweb domain file on my computer- apparently the library file is hidden and you need to press alt to unhide it.
But my problem is a bit different. I recently reformatted my system back to lion. I was going to use my time machine back up to restore but apparently its corrupt and I can only manually nagivate the files now. I'm trying to look for my iweb domain file while navigating the folders but cannot find it. I went to library and application support but there is no Iweb file there. This back up was done in lion, so I don't know where i can find this "hidden" library file.
I know its a hidden file because when i go to the library folder on my mac- HD>library> app support I don't find the iweb domain on my computer. Its only after i unhide it by pressing alt when i click on "go" do i get a library folder in which the iweb domain is housed.
I would really like to recover my website but dont know where to look on my timemachine backups.
Any help would be appreciated.

The default location for the domain file is your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. So go to that folder in Time Machine and see if you can see and recover the Domain.sites2 file.
Then make the Lion library visible as described below and open it with iWeb as described below:
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.
NOTE: If you repair disk permissions with Disk Utility on your boot drive you will have to rerun the script with Terminal to make the Library folder visible again.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time 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.

Where does iweb store its gallery information?

In which file does iWeb store the information which allows it to construct a gallery page?
I have a site with a Gallery page, which I publish to a local folder, then upload to an ftp server for a live website (www.ayrmodelboatclub.org)
When I update the gallery by adding a new gallery page, iWeb updates the initial gallery menu page showing the little photobooks of all my galleries.
If I publish to a local folder, I can go to the gallery and double-click gallery.html which then displays the page correctly in my browser. If I upload the Gallery folder to the site, then go to the site and choose Gallery, it goes to an older version of the page. I can't see how that is possible, but I figured it must be because I have not updated a file which tells iWeb which gallery thumbnails to display on the page (or perhpas the number of thumbnails to display).
I can't find that file.
I have tried updating Gallery.html an streamloader.html and Scripts and the Media folder.
I have also tried uploading the whole Gallery folder again (an again, and again) but can't get it to update.
I have had this problem time and again, on more than one site.
What am I doing wrong?
If I set iWeb to update the site directly, it creates a folder within the site, called AMBC (the name of the site within iWeb) and that functions perfectly, but because it is a folder within the main site directory, it adds AMBC to the addresses, so anyone who has bookmarked the pages can't see then because the address has changed.
If I delete all the files on the server, except the functioning AMBC folder, then take everything out of the AMBC folder and put it at the top level, that fixes the addresses, but the old version of the Gallery now displays instead. I think it may not be the old version, but may be simply the wrong number of thumbnails that are being displayed and iWeb is reding one too few thumbnails. But where is that information stored?
I'd appreciate any help with this. It's driving me daft.

I just went through this with a GoDaddy site. I think I am on the track to the answer, since the site is now working correctly. There are a couple of areas where failure to update occurs that I have found so far. iWeb saves all it data in a single file called domain. It has a default location but you can move it and have several 'domain' files for separate sites. Iweb will default to the last used domain file. Just double click on the one you want to use.
The main concept:
On your computer the file can be loaded properly, but on the web it is wrong. Remember, that when the HTML is written out by iWeb, it creates a name_files folder and puts stuff in there. The name_files may be in a different relative location from its location on your computer.
In iWeb you set up the location of your site to publish to. Remember that it creates the site each time, so you actually select the location above your 'Name' site in the hierarchy, which is often 'Sites' on a Mac. So don't choose 'Name' as your location, chose 'Sites.' The links will work within the 'Name' location but will not work if a link strays outside that location after you publish it. If you publish to 'Name' then your new site will be 'Name' inside your already published 'Name' site. When you look at the site you may not realize that although you can see the new file in a location similar to the location on your Mac, the file that is linked to by your published page will be the one inside the Name_files folder on the top level of your host site, not inside a folder which is inside a folder....
If you FTP, then in iWeb, choose publish entire site rather than publish changes, and drag the entire site to the upload window of your FTP client, and replace all the old files. If you don't want to do that, then if you are using an FTP client such as Transmit, you can actually rename the old files on the server and keep them as backups. You can also drag files around on the server directly, but you will break any links to them in any old pages that are not updated.
Probably something I explained is wrong, but my GoDaddy site is updating properly anyway. :-D At first I was copying the corrections into every name_files folder on the GoDaddy site, until I realized that iWeb would do that for me properly if I published everything and replaced everything.
Sorry I am confused about this myself!

Finding where my iweb site files are saved

I need help. My original hd crashed so I have a new one to run my computer. I dragged and dropped all my apps to the new hd as told by a I.T. friend and now I am supposed to format the old hd to use a storage space. Will my website files be gone. Are they actually saved online. Where would I located the actual page files so I can copy them over or did they when I dragged the files over. I have a feeling I am going to have to reinstall all my ilife 06' software but I don't want to start from scratch for my website. I also had to archive and install the new hd because my old one eventually did something to where I couldn't even start from the new one.

As Roddy was trying to tell you, if you found the "domain" file and it's the right one (double click on it and it will start iweb) you can move it to the same folder on the new drive.
Actually you can store it wherever you want. Iweb will look at the last file loaded.
Hopefully what you found is the right file.
If it is BACK IT UP!!
good luck

Where are iWeb backgrounds on my hard drive

I just upgraded to iLife '08 and I like the darkroom backgrounds you can tile and would like to use it in a separate template, but I don't want to change the entire template to darkroom. Where on my hard drive did iLife store these templates so I can choose them from a directory?

Open folder Application
Rightclick iWeb and choose +Show Package content+
Open folder Content
Open folder Resources
Open folder Themes
Rightclick Darkroom.webtheme and choose +Show Package content+
Open folder Shared
Voila.
Edit: Also, when you publish a iWeb site to a folder on your HD, the Darkroom_spotlight.jpg is in the pagename_files folder.

Where does iWeb store all my domains?

The steps that I have followed to check where my Mac stores my domains were:
1) Open ¨Finder¨ folder
2) Press ¨alt¨ key and on the Go menu
3) Select ¨Library¨
4) Then go to ¨Application Support¨ and select ¨iWeb¨ folder
Inside the folder I can only see 1 Domain, I am missing 3 more.
Can someone help me?

When you launch iWeb do you see all three sites in the left hand pane of the iWeb window? If so then you will only have one domain file.
