Why does my iWeb Domain file not open in my laptop?

I'm having trouble opening my iWeb domain files on a different computer (which I need to be be able to do). I've looked at the other relevant discussions re iWeb domain file editing issues . The problem seems to be (I think) that I have no Library folder in my home folder. Nevertheless, when I open iWeb on my main computer, my website is there. When I copy that file and try to open it from my Macbook Air, all that shows in iWeb is junky stuff I've done on my Macbook in iWeb. My actual website is nowhere to be seen. I've checked the size of the Domain file too, to make sure I've copied the right one and I have. And does anyone know why I neither have a Lbrary folder in my user folder on my Mac Mini or my Macbook Air?

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.
For opening 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.
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.
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.
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.

IWeb "Domain" File Not Opening in Mavericks

I just bought a new Mac Pro and converted everything over from my early 2008 Mac Pro. However, my iWeb Domain file will not open in the new Mac. It defaults to the start up iWeb page asking me to choose a new template.
Facts:
1- Both systems are running same version of Mavericks.
2- Both systems are running same version of iWeb.
3- In the Early Mac system, when I open iWeb, the Domain automatically opens. In new Mac it opens to the "choose a template for your webpage" option. Same result if I double click on the actual Domain file.
Troubleshooting already done:
1- Confirmed this is the only Domain file on the system
2- Opened same file on old system to ensure it is a valid Domain file
3- Re saved in old system and transferred over to new system. Same result when opening.
Thank you in advance for any insights on this.

This is the iPod touch forum. Do you have a question concerning an iPod touch? The iPod touch does not run Java.
If you have a new Mac you have to download the Java program to run Java on a Mac. It no longer comes with the iOS.

Why Does Photoshop cs5 Camera RAW not open CRW files

I need help bad.I am running Windows XP Pro.I had to get Adobe help to install a update to photoshop to get it to open.That part is working.Yesterday I tried to go thru some of my CRW Raw negatives,They will not open in camera raw or bridge or mini bridge.When I try to open it in Photoshop cs5, a box pops up that says "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.My CRW RAW Negatives are stored on CD-R Disks.So Itried to open them in photoshop CS2 and they opened.If no one knows how to fix this problem there is an Adobe site where you can chat with a tech. online but I forgot how to find it.Does anyone know the site I am talking about?....Thanks.

What size does the properties dialog show for the 6.7 camera raw plugin?
Adobe keeps changing the support pages around, so you might try one of these two:

Also, maybe someone has some other ideas in the camera raw forum:

Does the iWeb domain file store my pictures within it?

I only wonder because I want to keep a backup of my iWeb projects in case my computer fails. I haven't been able to buy a new hard-drive to backup my entire computer via time machine. So would simply copying the domain file be sufficient enough? Would I lose my pictures stored on my site if my computer fails and all I have is the Domain file?
I really need to get a bigger hard-drive for time machine, but until then, I'll have to store my important projects on a small (80GB) external Hard-Drive.
Thanks.

iWeb stores all the original content in the domain file.
Right-click the file and select "show package content" from the menu to see what's inside.

There is no such forum. The Forum Lounge is for social interaction or for meaningless chatter. The Forum Comments forum is to make comments on how the forums operate or ask questions about that. Perhaps you mean the Photoshop General Discussion forum or the Photoshop Beginners forum?

Why does Iphoto 8.1.2 not open & ask for an upgrade?

I was running iPhoto 8.1.2 on my IMAC purchased in 2009 fine until I had a HDD crash and needed to reinstall it from the ILife disk that came with it. I no longer can open it on my IMAC running 10.7.5 as I get these errors:
and
What do I need to do?

and what version o iPhoto do you currently have installed? Probably 8.0.0 - you need to update to he version you had before you reinstalled - 8.1.2 - and then everything will be fine
If you want to upgrade to Mavericks go ahead ands purchase iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x in the App store - but there is not need to do that if you are happy with what you have - simply update iPhoto to 8.1.2

Why does pdf become smaller file after opening in illustrator?

A client sent me a 12-page pdf with type changes that had to be done in Illustrator to almost half the pages. I openeded them in Illustrator, fixed the type, resaved as pdfs and replaced those pages in the pdf with the revised ones. After the first round of corrections the file went from 58 MB to 24 MB. After the second round of corrections the file has gone down to 6.3 MB! Some of the corrected pages in the pdf contain high resolution photos. Onscreen the images look just as sharp as in the original pdf. How could the file have gotten so small, and how will it affect the quality if it's printed on an offset press?

MMM, good ideas thank you!
When I open in Acrobat its fine. When I open as PDF in Illustrator its
corrupt.
When I place in a new ai file, as a link, its fine. When I place in new
file, embedded, its corrupt.
However, when I open as a PDF in Illustrator or place it as an embedded PDF
into Illustrator, it includes all the layers, I can select the separate
corrupt layers and delete them. So it turns out I can get rid of them with
this process.
It seems perhaps its an indesign thing, and a Indesign Tables thing. When I
outline the Table and its contents, it creates another layer of outlined
text on top of the live text. If I try and delete the non-outlined text, it
deletes the Table lines?? So if I leave it as is, I believe its the live
text underneath that is substituting for some reason?

HT204266 Why does the app "hiccup" and not open when I tap it

I updated my ipad and now several apps are frozen. I touch them, they jump, blink and don't open.

If these are third party apps meaning apps that you bought or downloaded from the App Store, try downloading another app - any free app is fine.
If these are random apps doing this, reboot your iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Why does clicking on a link not open in a new tab although i have selected this feature under options

I have selected that links should open in new tabs, but they keep opening in my current tab.

That feature isn't for '''''all''''' links, only for those links that would open in a new window; no affect on links that are programmed to open in the same window. That preference diverts a new window to a new tab. If you want all links to open in a new tab, middle-click or {Ctrl + Click} links.

Why does my email crash and not open at all on my iPhone 4S ?

I've restarted my iPhone 4S several times, but still am unable to open the resident email program on my phone. It's works ok on my ipad 3. Any ideas on what I can try next? I have several email accounts that dump into the inbox - aol, gmail, hotmail.

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
Have you tried ALL the troubleshooting steps? If you have and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible exchange.

Files from iWeb '08 will not open in 'Web '11

I have several sites that are generated in iWeb. At work I use a Quad G5 running 10.4.11 and IWeb 2.0.4. At home I'm using a 24" iMac running 10.5 and iWeb 3.0.2. I write and update my sites seamlessly from either computer.
Over the weekend I upgraded my home iMac to iLife '11 and Snow Leopard. I wanted the enhancements of iPhoto and so I reluctantly upgraded to the required 10.6. I now find that iWeb documents that are now created in iWeb 3.0.2 using Snow Leopard will no longer open in iWeb 2.0.4. This is quite a catch 22 for me.
I cannot upgrade my Quad G5 from 10.4 due to my requirement for some legacy software. I cannot install another drive on my Quad G5 with Snow Leopard as it needs an intel processor to run. Any suggestions out there besides the obvious one of going back to Leopard on my home iMac?

Unfortunately our company must continue to use powerPC's on 10.4.11 to run Macromedia Freehand MXa natively. Thus our reliance on Quad G5's. We feel like a cab driver in Havana driving a '53 Buick. We have to keep them running to do our graphics work. We have several machines running Freehand. Most on 10.4.11, but two of them run 10.5. Freehand runs painfully slow on Rosetta.
This afternoon we have moved all of our iWeb files to a Mini running Snow Leopard and iWeb 3.0.2. That will fix our iWeb problems and enable us to stay current as long as Apple still supports iWeb. I would be remiss not to caution anyone reading this post that iWeb domain files upgraded to 3.0.2 cannot be opened in 2.0.3 without the intervention method previously posted.
Thanks Again

Why will my Adobe Reader 9 not open the downloaded CA6 Beta file?

Why will my Adobe Reader 9 not open the downloaded CS6 Beta file?

Hi,
If your asking about the photoshopcs6_p1_installnotes.pdf, then it should open with Adobe Reader 9. It does for me with Adobe Reader 9 (9.5.0) on OSX 10.5.8.
The PDF is saved to version 1.4.

Can't open old iWeb domain file (yes, I have asked in the other forum!)

I had to wipe my MacBook hard drive and reinstall my data and OSX. Having tried to restore my iWeb domain file from Time Machine, I find I am unable to open it. (I've asked this question in the iWeb forum but was eventually directed here.) I've tried seemingly everything, including changing the file's permissions, wiping iWeb preferences, creating a new domain, deleting it and replacing it with the old one. Still I'm told iWeb can't open the file.
Could it be corrupted? It's probably relevant that it was created under a different account (I had to create a new one when I wiped the disk) and I believe iWeb doesn't like opening domains created by "another" user.
Any help much appreciated. It's important because I am applying for a new job and my online folio -- aka my iWeb website -- is not up-to-date, which looks very strange.

I have to confess, I was hoping someone with more knowledge about iWeb's Domain file would chime in. Evidently not, though.
Let's try something else. Run the following two commands in the Terminal (paste them in, only one at a time, and hit return after each one):
ls -al ~/Library/Application\ Support/iWeb
ls -al ~/Library/Application\ Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2
Then paste the output here. Here's what I get:

Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original location - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it

Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original locations - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it - also, when transferring large amounts of files it becomes a very large problem remembering which files were transferred and which not.

You're going to need to be more specific, as I'm not quite sure I understand what you're talking about.
If you're referring to copying from an external hard drive or flash drive, and you want to actually move files rather than copy them, you can hold down the option key to force it to do a "move" rather than a "copy." This is not new behavior, though... the Mac OS has worked this way as long as I can recall (and I've been using it since 1984).
If you're having a problem with trying to move files from one place to another on a single drive causing them to be copied instead, that is likely because of some permissions issue preventing you from actually being able to move them.
