How to open SITES file?
The most common problem when using IWeb Site Design Project is that a specific SITES is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open SITES, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SITES file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install iWeb
In this case, you should first verify that the iWeb application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name iWeb in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SITES with iWeb. Below is a list of programs that support the file SITES.
Programs to open SITES file
Remember to download programs supporting SITES files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of iWeb with SITES files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SITES file still does not use the iWeb program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the iWeb application as the default for handling the SITES file.
Step 3. Update iWeb to the latest version
If, however, after binding iWeb with IWeb Site Design Project there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Apple, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SITES file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SITES file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SITES file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SITES files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SITES file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SITES file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Apple, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SITES files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the SITES file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SITES to close. However, some background programs may block the SITES file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
