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. 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. |

 Limewire won't install I can't open the dmg. I'm new here and have read loads of threads, and have included a few suggestions in other threads. My limewire dmg downloads, but when I double click on it I can't open it. I have plenty of space. When I couldn't open the dmg, I deleted it, emptied the trash did disk utility repair, restarted computer. Went to the OSX Firewall instructions posted by Lord of the Rings, downloaded the Java 5.0 but I couldn't load it as the hard disk had a red exclamation mark. Rechecked and I had already an updated version. I then downloaded limewire once again - this time when I double clicked on the dmg I got the message "not recognised" ! Have no idea where to go from here. Hope someone out there has an idea for me. Thanks in advance Matilda These are some more answers to the questions, but I don't think they are relevant. Mac OSX 10.4.8 Only firewall ticked is Gnutella/Limewire 768 MB DDR SDRAM 18.11 GB available HD space Broadband Linksys ADSL Gateway AG041- UPnP is enabled. Administration port is 8080 This model isn't listed in the link Grandpa listed. Connecting from home Trying to open latest version of Limewire - doesn't get recognised Java 1.4.2 plugin setting Java 1.3.1 plugin setting Java15 release 1. dmg - can't install Internode is my service provider it says "your test worked" Not sharing with other computers New problem, an experienced user using other versions of limewire now deleted yes I saw the blue brick wall I don't have any anti-spyware, or ant- virus programs  |

| If you're using OS 10.4.8 then it should already have Java 5 installed. You can check by going to the Utilities folder, Java > J2SE 5.0 How did you download the LW installer? Definitely do not use internet Explorer because it can't handle dmg files & you end up with an incomplete dmg file. Download it with Safari. Then drag & drop it onto Disk Copy if it doesn't open automatically. Do you have stuffit expander? If yes, disable it from handling dmg files. It doesn't always handle them properly. Let us know how you get on. |

| Thanks for your suggestions. I have java 5. Internet explorer is gone from my computer as it no longer worked. I used safari to download limewire. I disabled stuffit as you suggested and then tried to open it in disk utility and I got this message." Unable to attach " Limewire" Not recognised. |

| You need Disk Copy to work for most OSX programs so I'm not sure how you're dealing with others. You can see my Disk Copy settings below. Did you try to manually drag & drop the dmg onto Disk Copy? Select the LW.dmg file & go to file menu & choose get info. What is the default program suggested to open it? Mine is DiskImageMounter. Have you done a Safe Boot & Repair permissions lately?

| The disk copy settings don't show up I get a blue box with a ? in it. I did do a drag and drop with the dmg onto disk copy. At the moment I haven't got a limewire dmg on my computer I am trying to clean up first. I am about to do a safe boot and repair permissions and then I will download a new copy of limewire and do as you suggested, I will get back later. Thanks |

| When I selected LW dmg and went to file get info, it did say open with DiskimageMounter (default). The change all was grayed out. I did do a safe boot and repair permissions last night. I have downloaded a new dmg of LW. I dragged it into disk utility left side window clicked file open and got this message. " Unable to attach "LimewireOSX.dmg" - not recognized. Just as I did before. By the way. When I come to this page without logging in I can see the links. As soon as I log in the links go and I can't click on them. As I said I get a blue box with a ? in the middle of it. I went to disk utility preferences and I have checked Verify checksums skip on remote volumes auto-open read-only disk images. Thanks for you help |

| Try this ... go to Utilities folder, open Disk Utility, go to File menu, choose Open Disk Image & direct it to the location of the LW.dmg file. |

| I did what you suggested and I got the same message. " Unable to attach "LimewireOSX.dmg" - not recognized. Just as I did before. I trashed my original Limewire instead of uninstalling could that be the problem. I can't download just an uninstall can I ? I down loaded other dmgs today just to see if they would open and I didn't have any worries with those. I found Cabos-0.6.6MacOSX.zip but I didn't download it because it isn't a dmg. I don't want the application, it is because it seemed as though it was a similar type of program that I looked at it. Thank you Last edited by matilda crow; November 3rd, 2006 at 12:19 AM. |

| I have a couple of ideas. Let's try this one 1st: download the beta created by Jum: http://www.mager.org/LimeWire/ & see if you can mount that one. |
