I did migration assistant to get all "files/apps" from my old macbook air to my new macbook pro. Sadly it didn't transfer ANY images, hardly any of my desktop and NONE of my iweb sites. I need to get all the iweb sites I created (that are hosted on my yahoo server) onto my iweb on the new macbook so I can edit/upload them. I see various ways online to do it - want to ask you guys the BEST way. Thanks!

    It's in Macintosh HD/Users/~/Library/Application Support/iWeb.


     


    The file should be called "Domain.sites2". Just drag and drop that to the same location on the new computer and it should pop open in iWeb. Alternatively, double-click on it while it's in that location (if iWeb doesn't recognize it immediately) and iWeb will know what it is, where it is, and where to save.


     


    Strange that Migration Assistant didn't do that for you…

    Oh, that's it! Yeah, you have file extensions hidden (like me and anyone who doesn't like clutter). No worries.
