I dragged Limewire all items except my shared folder to the trash, restarted, then re-installed LimeWire. Lo and behold they had a new version of it that needed additional software readily downloaded from the apple page. I forget what it was but the guides from apple are easy to follow. Next I re-installed LimeWire (1.7c). Now it's working fine! It's a bummer Gnutella didn't advise us that there was an update and left us to flounder and find out the hard way. Now my only problem isIcan't share the mp3s I made from my own CD collection. When I move a folder of them to my library and click on the folder it appears empty though I know the files are there! And I don't understand what the new "Burn CD" function is about but it looks like what was in I Tunes. Good luck and keep trying.
