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 LimeWire on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

I just upgraded my Mac to Leopard (OS X 10.5) and LimeWire no longer works. It launches and brings up the window but then it crashes. I found a LimeWire log file under CrashReporter, it is too big to post the entire file but some of the pertinent information is below. It appears to be a Java problem. I've seen other posts which suggest I download and reinstall Java but Mac does not have Java on their website for Mac OS X 10.5. I tried a version of Java for OS X 10.4 but the installer quit by stating I had the wrong version of the OS installed. Their website says OS X 10.5 comes with an upgraded Java. Well, apparently it does but not one that is LimeWire compatible. I uninstalled LimeWire by moving it from Applications to the Trash and reinstalled it but no luck.

Any ideas?

Do other Java apps run? See if Spotlight can find the Apple supplied "java web start" and see if that will run.

I have heard Apple will be releasing their Java 1.6 for Leopard soonish. They have a beta version of it out now apparently.

In the meantime, there's things you can try. Can't launch LW: Bouncing in Dock (click on link), although some of those things will obviously not apply to the new OSX.

I don't know if Leopard also includes Java 1.4.2 as did Tiger, but if it does, you could jump back to LW 4.12.16 & set Java 1.4 as the java for java apps to use in the meantime. Setting up Java 1.5. I would recommend deleting your LW prefs folder however if you did attempt this. It's found here: /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire
At the bottom of the page of the first link I gave is a sample image showing how to do.

stief - I am able to launch eclipse without problems.

LotR - I tried deleting the preferences. When I launched LW, it went through the wizard to set up my preferences again but once it finished and LW came up it crashed within a few seconds. I'll check the setup disk to see if it has any other version of Java on it. I really hate the way Mac has it set up on their website so only certain versions of Java work on certain versions of the OS. Way too limiting. And, they only have Java for OS up to 10.4, they haven't even bothered posting anything for Leopard. Very aggravating.

Thanks to both of you for your help/suggestions.

I submitted a support request a few days ago and unfortunately have heard nothing. I deleted the prefs and it would load to 62 percent before crashing haha. I installed leopard on two machines and it worked on the one I reformatted, but not the one I upgraded. So, I just ended up reformatting the second machine as well and it works now.

Hi curmudgeon.

I checked with someone who is using 10.5, and all worked well there.
Since Eclipse *may* use different parts of the JVM than LW, I guess it's a inconclusive test of your java install.

Can you get a Console (Applications/Utilities/Console) output of the error messages when LW starts up?

If you can, posting the output at LimeWire Forums is more likely to get the attention of the developers

cheers

Hi fireman.

Thanks for the tip. Once again, looks like a clean install or the Archive and Install methods are less risk than the Update install.

I don't relish the idea of having to do a full install, especially since LW is the only app giving me problems.

I did try reinstalling Java from the install disk but that did not work (but all I did was a reinstall over the existing Java). How do I uninstall Java? I'm wondering if maybe removing all traces of my existing Java and reinstalling it from the Leopard disk would do the trick.

I have to admit I'm a bit of a newbie on Mac. I know applications are deleted by dragging them to the trash bin from the Applications folder but deleting Java from the Applications folder does not seem to uninstall it.

I see Java under /Library, /System, and /System/Frameworks. Maybe it is in even more places. Do I need to delete all of these folders to remove Java? Are there other places?

You need to remove the java receipt files from the receipts folder. Receipts folder sample image. The receipt files are very important to retain normally, however if installation problems, that's the place to remove the specific items. Also see sample image below the one in link.

I have noticed "some" programs need special Leopard updates, but since LW has worked for at least many people, I am guessing the problem is java related. Particularly looking at the above report.

You can also try deleting the LW prefs folder "if" there is one. See bottom of the link page.

BTW how much spare disk space do you have on your system drive?
Which model computer are you using, cpu speed, how much ram, etc.?
