Can't Open the domain.sites2 file I Want To!

I'm tearing my hair out here!
I had multiple websites within iweb 08, but using it as more of a publishing facility and creating graphic adverts and stuff. Then I decided to make a website, which is where it all went to pot.
I hadn't realised that the domain.sites2 file contained all the information for the multiple sites.
What happened:
I downloaded iwebsites to separate sites and once managed to upload the website I wanted to publish to my .mac account. Then I successfully retrieved the old websites again fine.
When I tried this process again, everything was lost other than the published site. I had a back up of the domain.sites2 file on an external hard drive which I am now trying to get to open in iweb! And it won't.
I have gone through the process of deleting the iweb preferences and opening a blank site, saving it and replacing it with the old domains file with the content I want to open, but it always reverts to a new site (asking me to pick a template) or the last saved 'test' site.
I really don't want to lose everything I have been working on for the last 2 years! Does anyone have any ideas why the domain file I want to open isn't showing the correct content?
I would appreciate any help! Thanks

Yep I've tried that but it reverts back to the last saved test site. When I look at the package contents the pics and other items from all my sites are there but will not open as before!

Have no clue. You have given us no information. What OS, what happens when you try to open Acrobat X? Are you trying to open from the Acrobat icon or by double clicking on a PDF? Add screen shots if needed to show the results, particularly any error messages.

Because Apple simply doesn't want users going inside and possibly messing with it's innards.
They also state that there are no user-servicable parts inside.
That being said, if you REALLY want to get inside, you can Google or YouTube ways to get in.
If you just want to see what's inside without actually opening the phone, sites like ifixit.com have teardowns of many devices (including hi-res photos) and will also show you how to get inside the correct way (without destroying something in the process).

Iweb not opening domain.sites2 file

Hi
One of the people I support is having a problem with iweb. She went and updated her site the other day. The next day, when she opened iweb to work on it some more, it didn't recognize her domain.sites2 file. It actually opened as if the site never existed. After I pulled the domain.sites2 icon to my desktop, I dragged it directly onto iweb. No good, is still opened up as if it were creating a new site. So, I opened up the sites icon so I could see everything in it, and all of the persons data is in there (pictures, forms, etc). When I copy the data out of that domain.sites2 folder and put it in another and rename it, it does the same thing (tries to open as if the data doesn't exist).
Anyway, what caused this? More importantly, how do I get it to work again? She may have a functional backup (I have to go onto our servers and take a look-the computers back up automatically), but if for some reason it overwrote a previous copy, this may be all I have to work with.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Often an interruption of some sort, iWeb crash, computer crash, while iWeb is writing to it's files in the domain package. The best solution is to have a current backup of the domain file. That can be had by using Time Machine (hourly backups) or use a 3rd party backup application like Synk Standard which can do incremental backup, i.e. copy only those recent new or changed files) on a more frequent basis.
There was a new posting today about damaged domain files and the OP narrowed it down to a file in the package. You can read about it here: CRASHED and LOST EVERYTHING due to Library/App Supp/iWeb/index.xml.gz

HT5622 why I cannot use an apple domain to set up an apple ID?

why I cannot use an apple domain to set up an apple ID?

You cannot use an existing @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address to become an Apple ID because they either already are one or are associated with an existing one, and in the latter case these cannot be moved to another ID.
The option is be there to create an @icloud.com address as use it as an ID when you create an iCloud account - please see imp68's post here:

my account is active and paying per month for Acrobat Pro. Why I cannot open files and the screen asks for serial number?

I don't work for Adobe but it seems to me you might be signing in to Acrobat with the wrong Adobe ID.
Check the Adobe ID you use in Acrobat.
Check this Adobe ID on Adobe's to make sure that it has an active subscription.

Help-moved Domain.sites2 file, lost content wife's site

Hi,
This is about my wife's MAC so it is even more serious because it's my fault. I'm her IT guy but I don't know her iWeb projects very well. I helped her get started and once her site launched a year ago, all has been great and I stopped studying/learning iWeb. Now I'm in trouble.
So asked for help creating/publish multiple websites from iWeb09. (personal and work) Don't know if she'll publish as sub/site on her mobileMe or host the second site elsewhere. I read the forums this morning about iWeb's use of the Domain.site file. I read that if you move the file from it's default location (lib/app support/iweb) to another level in the Finder, then iWeb will open to a new site template and no longer default to her personal site. Okay, got it. Did it. Created a folder called "iWeb Sites" in the Library/Sites folder. Created folders for her sep sites, work / personal.
Then I moved Domain.sites2 to the new "personal" folder. Launched iWeb from there to check her site. All good - still there. Quit iWeb
Re-launched iWeb from dock, saw it create a new Domain.sites2 file in lib/app support/iWeb. I chose "New Site" in the menu. After it appeared, I deleted her Site icon (and the files under it went away). Okay, good, now this Domain.sites2 file is ready to be her new work website. Quit, and movd this Domain file from it's default (lib/app supp/iWeb to the new "work" folder.
Now the problem...(if you don't already see it coming). I went back to open her personal site to make sure it would open directly from the new "personal" folder - it's new home. It opened with NONE of her site info. Totally new site - all her content gone.
First thing I did was quit. Opened my ftp (cyberduck) went to her mobileme account and downloaded the entire "SITES" folder.
Now what? Where did I go wrong and how do I fix it?
Thank you!

The first time you open iWeb it creates a Domain.sites2 file in :
~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
where ~ is your Home directory.
Anything you do in iWeb is stored in that file.
When you move the file to another location, for reasons only you know, iWeb cannot find it and offers you to find the Domain file or create a new one.
You can also double click the file you moved to open it in iWeb.
iWeb will remember it the next time you open iWeb.
If you start moving files around and creating folders for whatever reason and lost track, then retrace your steps to the point where it went wrong. If in the process you created multiple copies, then open them one by one and see what's inside.
You can have multiple domain files, I have 57, for any reason you desire. They are not linked and are fully independent of each other. It's up to you how you organize these different files and remember what they are for.
If you publish the Sites in each domain file to MobileMe, then the last one published will be the default Sites. If Sites in different domain files have the same name then it is surprise, surprise which page will be deleted, updated or added on the server.
Downloading the Sites (the HomePage folder) or the Web/Sites folder (where iWeb publishes the pages) from iDisk is useless in this respect, since it does not contain anything usefull. You cannot import webpages back into iWeb.
