 Limewire installer on OSX deletes ALL files on disks!!!! Hi! If I knew about this bug I would NEVER install/use Limewire: When installing Limewire for OSX to a partition on my machine (the partition I installed to was made for a separate OS9.1 boot, not the Classic), Limewire DELETED *ALL FILES* ON BOTH THE PARTITION AND ANOTHER DISK!!!! (Yes, another DISK, not partition...) NOT ONE SINGLE FILE WAS LEFT! I lost all my pics from my digital camera on the computer. (Luckily most important pics were backed up on CD) and music projects with the band I plays in, that I havenīt backed up... Everything was gone... How can Limewire upload such a crap-installer like that? I HATE Limewire! How can they put up a installer so crappy? Surely almost not tested at all? I tried to reboot to one of the partitions that was deleted, but the machine just started on the OS9 system that was on the OSX partition... I tried to find the files in Terminal, but no. I guess they are lost forever... I am sorry Limewire, but this was a too big bug for me to swallow... Iīll try to find another P2P for my Mac...

 Limewire does not have control of the admin in OS X. It doesn't. Simple as that. It can't do stuff like that. Something else must have caused your problem, because Limewire does not have the access within OS X to delete a single file of that type.

| It wasnīt the OSX disk that was deleted... It wasnīt the OSX disk that was deleted... It was one partition and one disk used with OS9.1 prior to OSX. And the Limewire install deleted all the files on these two disks. Thus it is something wrong with the Limewire OSX install file or procedure. When you install a program to a partition it shouldnīt delete all the files on the partition and all files on another disk! |

| Newer LimeWire OSX installers (starting with 3.6.15) will only allow LimeWire to be installed on the system volume (the boot partition). Although installing to another volume would not immediately cause the problems described above (I tested by installing LimeWire to my iPod), it is safest to stick to tested methods. The newer installer also fixes other oversights in the installation process. |

| Hello! Well, I guess everything would go nicely if I installed it on the OSX disk. But I didnīt. There were no Limewire installed on the OS9 partition, just emptiness. I hope the the guys/girls coding Limewire will check this out. It would be sad if anyone else lost gigas of files... I downloaded LimeWire (OS X) 3.6.14 (was redirected to www.download.com from www.limewire.com) But when it started installing it said 3.6.15. So I guess I used 3.6.15. (Checked this when reading your reply.) I have OSX, version 10.2.1 Thanks for your replies. Last edited by raggymans : November 12th, 2003 at 01:22 PM. |
