Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default Intel Core Duo iMac not Compatible with LimeWire

I know there have been several messages regarding this, so I am sorry for that. Like many others, I have just purchased the new iMac Intel Core Duo and it is not working with LimeWire. It won't even let me open it up! What is the solution to this if any?! I hope it won't be complicated... I'm going crazy not being able to download things and limewire's pretty good. Thanks!

The issue may not necessarily be the newer apple computers. Try these things:

1. Try reinstalling your Java using the "Offline" Java installer. I think the most recent one for Tiger is this one: Java 1.4.2 for Tiger (click on link) If it doesn't let you install it because it says it's already installed or the installer give a "Null" error, then go to the Receipts folder & delete the last Java package. See similar example here (this example is for Panther so the version will be different): Receipts folder sample image
* * * However, check which version of Java you have. IF you're using Java 1.5, then you should get this installer Java 1.5 Standalone installer Also if you have Java 1.5, go to your Utilities folder & open the Java utility. Set it to allow LW to use it. See notes about this here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301073

2. Normally after installing new software or updates including system updates, you should repair permissions. Reboot your comp whilst holding down the SHIFT key until you see the window saying Booting into Safe mode or similar message. Then after it's finished booting, go to the Utilities folder, open Disk Utility & Repair Permissions. Then reboot back into normal mode.

Tell us if these things make any difference.

Edit: Ok I hadn't seen this thread. Perhaps you hadn't either but please try the 2 suggestions above anyway. iMac Intel Core-Duo Limewire Does Not Open?!?!?!

Default Beta Version 4.10.5

Any idea where 4.10.5 is?

I downloaded LW 4.10.5 BASIC off the website today at 5:15 PM in order to test it on OS X 10.3 w/ Java 1.4.2.

Just now, I re-downloaded and installed 4.10.5 from the website.

You need to go to the LimeWire BASIC (or PRO if you are a pro customer) download page. Toward the bottom of the BASIC download page is a grey button that will bring you to the BASIC BETA download page. From this final page, there is a link to the BETA.

I hope this helps.

Default LimeWire Beta still doesn't work

Even the newest version of LimeWire...4.1.5 or whatever, doesn't work with the new Intel iMac. The program actually downloads, but when you attempt to open it, it gets all the way to the "Search" screen (The screen that appears after it asks you to Upgrade to LimeWire PRO) of LimeWire, but shuts down. This really needs to be fixed...

The "newest version of LimeWire" in fact does not work on an Intel iMac. You need to get the BETA (prototype) version. If you download "the latest", you get 4.10.3. My best guess is that within a few days we'll build and release a production version that runs on the Intel iMacs.

What you're seeing as the "newest version" is actually several versions old. Once we like one of our prototypes, we make what's called a beta build. People can download the beta and play around with the new features. Sometimes people discover bugs in the beta, or the beta testers have good suggestions for small tweaks. It's this prototype version that has the "fat" libraries for PPC and i386 Mac OS X.

Thanks for checking kmag.
Perhaps the jum build will work until LW can restore the links to the beta? Jum's build might still be based on the pre-release beta http://www.mager.org/LimeWire/LimeWire.html

otherwise, I'll share yesterday's release. Folks can search for "LimeWireOSX4.10.5 BETA.dmg" or message me and I'll send the magnet link.
