Running Mac 10.1.5.

Downloaded, Installed LW English OSX version.

Stalls at startup: "Loading core components..."

I've seen other posts on this topic, but no fixes. Is there any way to resolve this problem? What gives?

grrr...

mine is doing the same thing,ive emailed them and am waiting 4 a reply.did u get pro or free?

yeh me too..was runniong 3.4.4 on x.10.1.5 with no more than the usual problems and since i downloaded 3.5.7 it just hangs on loading core components..i'm pissed!!

ok i've found a way round this problem..its long winded so bear with me..download the english only version from the limewire site which will bounce you to download.com ..i tried this and it refused to download so i clicked on the " click here if your download doesn't start " button which gave me an alternative download site..left clicking this gave me a screen of code rubbish but right clicking and choosing the "save document as " option gave me a .dmg version of limewire 3.5.8 which installed and runs fine..well it seems to so far anyway...be warned that it still seems to take a long time to load the core components bit but so long as you dont get the ball of death thing [ i'm using 10.1.5] then you should be ok

i have not had success downloading pro version upgrade to 3.5.8! this is shitty and annoyimg since i paid for this upgrade for like 6 months..........i have beenusing OS 10.1.5 for overa year and


nEVER had install issues like this!!!!!!!!!


lime locks up on"Loading Core Components" spash screen in the french and English versions i've installed...............somebody help somebody!!!!!!!!1

Internet Explorer has troubles with .dmg files--sometimes the cache has to be cleared too before a clean installer can be downloaded fresh. Has anyone tried by using Safari, or downloading Jens-Uwe Mager's pro-like version of LW 3.5.8 (http://baghira.han.de/~jum/LimeWire.html)?
I wonder too if anyone has seen anything odd in the Console (Applications->Utilities) logs when the problem occurs. If so, you can let the LW developers know by mailing the relevant entries to bugs@limewire.com, or post them here and hope a coder can interpret them.

I'm on 10.2.6, so sorry if I can't help more. OS 10.1.5 got the new java update too, right? If this would help, I dropped the OSX basic installer for the pre-java update version (3.4.6) onto the public folder of my iDisk. You're welcome to grab it as a back-up. Choose Connect To Server from the Finder's Go menu and type http://idisk.mac.com/stief4-Public (doesn't work as a link--you have to paste or type it into the Connect window)

Cheers. Glad you got it working gizmatron.

[edit: here's the link to the other thread on this problem http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=21807

previous versions of LW are available at
http://www3.limewire.com/download/
http://www9.limewire.com:82/download/
(each version is a collection of all the installers for that version--it's a 60 mb download)]

hiya steif...i have another problem now..the limewire works fine so i downloaded the dmg of 10.2 as i'm currently using 10.1.5 ....it wont mount using the disc copy in 10.1.5....i had this problem before when a friend sent me 10.1 as a disc image on a cd and of course it wouldn't mount in 9.2.1 as he had created it using 10.1 disc copy...i think this is the same problem..if so many thanks to the 100 or so people who have the 10.2 install in a format you can only mount if you alrteady have 10.2...i know sarcasm is the lowest form of wit but there you go....can you mail me a copy of the 10.2 disc copy [ giz77@free.fr ] or post it somewhere so i can download it..not sure if i will be able to get around the problem like that but i think so...assuming it isn't just a corrupt download of course..

giz--the last thing you want to fiddle with is your OS! I recall (months ago) some people complaining that the "10.2" turned out to be a porn flick or the pre-release version. Looks like some people need to inspect their shared folders. You could try chatting with those folks and finding out if the .dmg's really do work. Frankly though, I wouldn't risk it.

There might be a Disk Copy 10.2.3 in my idisk that you could look at, but I doubt that will help. Glad to hear that LW is worlking well for you.
À votre santé.

thanks for the help stief...the disc copy on your idisk wont run on my os..i guess you need 10.2 to run it so i am in the same place i started..yeh i tried the chat but none of the people sharing 10.2 seem to be on chat so far..i am willing to bet that they installed the 10.2 before they created the disc image though which is why its no use to me...apple seem to change the disc copy each time they update it so that older versions never mount images created with newer versions...bummer..its not like there are loads of different downloads of the .dmg.....there are usually just the two..disc 1 and disc 2 with about 30 - 50 people listed for each..on limewire anyway...was going to try acquisition after i was having loads of problems with the limewire but 10.2 needed minimum...which is what prompted this saga to start in the first place..oh well..watch this space

ps .... i have a spare hard drive so was going to try the .dmg on that anyway before i mess with my working 10.1.5 disc

bye
