When I open iweb for the first time I cannot see an oportunity to get my existing website (iweb) transfered into this - how do I do?

iWeb does not tranfer files.

The Migration assistent will do that.

If you still have your old Mac, the file is here:

~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/

Where ~ is your Home Directory.

Move the file to the same location on your new Mac.

What if I do not have my old mac anymore? Is there a way to pull the site off of my iDisk and use it on iWeb?

No. You have to rebuild your site. You can use your published site as a reference to help you rebuild your site. Copy/paste text/images from published site to the site you need to rebuild in iWeb. And in the future make sure you have all the project files you need and assure that everything is setup correctly on your new system before you go and get rid of the old system that may have files you need!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Take a look at Chapter 2.3 of this iWeb FAQ site which has tips on using many of the published files in the reconstruction of the site.
