Try these fixes and you should be right to go... Try uninstalling your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE offline version....(5th one down) http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp Then uninstall Limewire using the uninstaller which is found in start > all programs > limewire...then re-install it using the offline installer... http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...oadfree2.shtml If that does not help with your problem try deleting your preference folder... Fixes for Limewire when LW isn't operating as it should |
I have done everything that has been said to do and i've look at so many different posts and tried so many things and i still can't seem to get LW to connect. Here is my problem, a couple of days ago i was downloading songs and it was working perfectly fine, then all of a sudden it stopped connecting. When i try to download it says connecting for a couple of minutes then it says need more sources. Does anyone know of any other ways to fix this problem??? I could really use the help as i seem to be getting very frustrated. thanks. oh yeah, i forgot to add that i have the basic version of LW |
Hi lismarie06, So there's nothing actually wrong with your LW's connection to the network? It's just that files won't connect for download? This thread's about problems when LW won't connect to the network:laugh_2: There are heaps of fake files around. They'll sit connecting for ages & then get stuck needing sources forever. Try the tips in these threads & remember to always check a video file with Bitzi (music doesn't get rated as often) before download;) Fake files showing up in search results How to find music (also has info that applies to video) If it's happening with every single file that you try to download (do a test...search for an old song & try to download a file with 10 sources or less), delete LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 below, also point 2 if you've used much older versions of LW in the past. Fixes for LimeWire This will kill all of your settings within options. You'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things to the way you like them:) |
Tried Everything I tried disabling tool tips and clearing out the directory. I enabled the Exception for Windows Firewall (my only one) and it still says that I'm firewalled. I also tried getting the JRE solution and it still says that I'm ****ing firewalled! I'm honestly about to leave LimeWire. I couldn't connect to that "Your test worked!" page. It's supposed to be testing if your ISP blocked the port right? Well it's not my school network, my roomate can connect fine. It should work because I allowed the exception in Window's firewall. It still says that I am blocked. What the hell is going on? PLEASE HELP!!!:mad2: There's no fixing this. I did a complete uninstall and reinstall and it's still not working. A quick answer would be preferable. |
still can't connect ok so i tried everything that was suggested for me to do and i still can't get my songs to connect to download. although i am connected to limewire, when i attempt to download something it will say connecting... for a while then it will go to more sources needed... this is very frustrating, i've never had any trouble w/limewire before. i have also disabled my firewalls and it still shows that i have a firewall up. i also did the test and it said that it was successful. if anyone knows anything else that may help, please help. oh yeah, i also have two other computers in the same household and they work perfectly fine. i would greatly appreciate anymore help that i can get. thanks |
unable to connect I am running windows xp home edition. Limewire 4.12.11 used to work great, but now it will not connect to the network. I have tried everything that has been posted here in the past. Nothing has worked. What can I do to fix this problem? Thanks honeybunn1 |
I am so confused. I am not very computer savvy and am trying to learn so i hope someone can help. I really need to get into this computer stuff world because LW and things are dangerous if you don't know what you are doing! I do know that I am AOL 9.0 Security Edition internet dial-up connection. My computer is a Dell Dimension 4600. I have Windows xp. I know we do not use the AOL firewall because we use McAfee Security Center. I have downloaded LimeWire before and it did work alright. As long as you were on my brother's desktop logged onto my mother's screenname, you could open LW and sign on to download and everything. I tried adding shortcuts to LW onto the other two desktops on my computer but it seemed that it was just what you get when you first install? I know that's not a very good way of explaining but it's true. It asked me all these questions about languages and setups and everything. And then the few songs (but still music!) were not there! Eventually I could not even open LW anymore, so I deleted all LW files off the computer. I went in on my desktop and my screenname and tried downloading but I got a message saying something was wrong so I used the alternative download. Everything seemed to work and I can open it and everything. I tried logging on and now the bars stay at 1 green no matter what! It says there is a firewall blocking but it doesn't make any sense. Our firewall allows LimeWire, it says so in the settings! And I am allowed to get on this site on my screenname so why is this not working!?!? If someone could e-mail me with help that would be great~ |
Basically none of the solutions given have worked. Please respond promptly. |
Looking at this thread, it seems just about everyone has the same problem - they cannot connect. Why doesn't Limewire sort this out? Ok, this is my problem. I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.9 on iMac + plenty of RAM and free HD space, I have broadband with tiscali and a Netgear router linked by ethernet cable. I have OS X firewall switched on (the brick wall always shows in LW), but it SOMETIMES connects me through it, and SOMETIMES it doesn't. When it connects I have 4 or 5 green bars showing and I can sit there for hours quite happily. But next time I launch LW, it's all gone. I have one green bar and nothing comes up when I search. If I delete LW and all the Preferences, and install it all again, SOMETIMES this works and gives me a connection, SOMETIMES it doesn't. There is no way to predict this. One thing is for sure - if it doesn't give me a connection, then doing that fix in System Prefs where you tell it which port to 'listen' at (from LW prefs) NEVER makes a difference. The only thing that ever works, is to delete everything and re-install, and then just hope and pray that THIS time I get a connection. It shouldn't be this arbitrary, should it? Is there any way I can guarantee a connection when I launch LW? I am at my wits end over this. |

There are heaps of posts here from Tiscali customers who either can't connect or can only connect sometimes. Tiscali & Limewire can't connect between 5pm-11pm I have found a solution to getting Limewire to work with Tiscali Use the forum search to look for Tiscali & you'll find more info. |
Thanks for your input birdy. As it happens, I have just independently discovered that one of those threads you have put a link to, is the right answer in my case. I can only connect to limewire with tiscali if I try in the morning or early afternoon. Evenings? Forget it! This is not a problem for me, as I have days free anyway. But it does show that in some cases, it is not the port, it is not the bandwidth, it is not anything except the time of day. But don't ask me why, I haven't a clue. |
This thread is now dead Hi People. Please stop posting In this Thread & start your own This thread is Dead. Thank You. |
hey! I have xp too and I went to my c drive and pulled up my limewire folder but I have no clue which folder to delete if you could help me I would really appreciate it! |
emily hi This thread is closed Don't Post Here. |
I don't understand will deleting whats in the .limewire ruin my application???? I wasnt able to log in, then tried again later and it worked, didnt search or anything just logged off. Now wont log in again. Is it just a glitch in limewire right now? |
Personally I suggest to those of you who work for the Limewire community, please check out to see if there are any conflicts with the newest Java updated files. I didn't start having this problem until that was downloaded and installed. |
What is going on???? So I have been using lime wire for quite a few years..Untill three or four weeks ago it worked fine..now i have been unable to connect at all...I am running xp (sp2)....I have tried all the solutions that have been listed and nothing is working....I even re installed java.....nothing is working.....what is next or what can i do to fix it...that hasn't been posted yet????:mad: :mad: :bangh: |

re. probs with connection Hey all, Sdaswani is onto something, i was having issues (couldn't get a connection etc) just deleted limewire fully from the puta (run the uninstall wizard to do the job fully), then re-installed limewire pro, and it seems to work really well...:super: |
Hi Penguinz, Glad you found a fix for your problem. What probably fixed it was uninstalling LW and redownloading and installing it again. I just don't want people thinking that purchasing Pro will fix their connection problems, cause it won't. Then they'll be mad cause they spent their money and it still won't connect ;). |
help please hi i went to C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire but i dont know what my "limewire preferances directory" is. can anyone tell me what that is please? i havent been able to connect for weeks so i'm trying this method thanks:) |
Quote:
In the newest versions it's located at C:\Documents and Settings\"your account name"\Application Data\limewire. Application data is a hidden folder, so you have to set your folder options to show hidden folders. Either location you delete the limewire folder. |
Thanxxxxxxxxxxxx, Sdaswani!!!!... It worked for me too!!!... |
one green arrow and four red? I only get the one green arow and four red, Always says connectiong? this just started, It is not the fire wall, I think it is Bell south I use them for DSL, Im going to try dial uo from alo since I have that account as well and see, at least I'll know if it is the Bell South router or the ISP? any one have any other thoughts? I'll be back , Thanks Dan |
OMG....this worked!!! I'm using windows xp and deleted .limewire and after initializing everything, it worked!!! Thank you SOOO much!!! Judy |
connection problems I have now sent 3 e-mails to limewire and still no reply. :confused: I had the free download of limewire and all seem to be working fine. I then paid for the service of having faster downloads. Now I can't even connect to get anything downloaded. I have a wall across my map. I have tried everything I can to get rid of it but as yet no joy. Everytime I go into limewire help it keeps coming up with solutions for XP. I don't have XP I have Windows ME and have AVG free virsus program. I had this before and it worked well. I tried to connect today and finally got a very strong signal even with the wall across my map, but it did not last very long. Can somebody please help me, as I am having no joy with limewire even though I have paid for their service. :mad: |
Hi Alexmeme, I'm not an expert but I'm going to tell you what I did when I had your problem, If it works let me know... and as of now I haven't had any more problems. First I went to the Firewall settings (Windows firewall, that is) and added as an exception my Limewire. Then I went to the antivirus settins (In my case avast!) and did the same thing, and after that I restarted my computer. - All this was done following directions from one on the threads from this site, but I don't remember which, and that alone was supposed to solve my problem - Still however I got the wall in front of my world, so I went to another thread and did what it said, which was: go to Limewire Tools/Options/Advanced/Firewall config there you have two options Listening ports and Router Configuration. On Listening ports you shoud have a number, and on Router configuration you should have checked the option Use UPnP so, check the option Manual Port Forward and write there the same number from the 'Listen on Port section'. Restart your limewire and see if it helped... |
Having problems as well!!! I ordered limewire about 3 days ago!!! Everytime I try to look up an artist or video it won't allow me to!!! It says that it's still connecting!!! I don't know much about computers so please guide me on what I need to do!!! |
Need a little help How do I find my firewall??? |
Well, i've done this fix before. Deleted .limewire and Limewire in Application data about a months ago when i had a problem exactly like this (not loading up at all, limewire load box pops up then disappears and nothing happens) but now i have no .limewire folder in my documents and settings to delete! :bangh: delete the application data limewire ok, but it still doesn't fix it. Reinstalled limewire and all my java stuff to get the recommended version and nada. Oh im using Windows XP btw. Any help would be much appreciated :idea: |
Help Hello, I Own Limewire Pro. But It Does Not Work On My Laptop. It Works Fine On My Desktop, But I Need It On My Laptop. Cow Do I Contact Limewire? Somebody Please Help Me. |
Recent connection issues - Windows XP Hi there I've just started to experience this connection issue today (15.5.07 ) - I tried various posts above ( removing Java updates, deleting the limewire directory etc ) but none worked for me , so I started to look at this issue in greater depth as I am luckily an iT Specialist. My issue is soley down to a new Windows update that I install on a particular PC only today ! When I removed this "update" Limewire worked immediately ! The Windows update in question was... Security Update for Windows XP (KB931261) A security issue has been identified in Universal Plug and Play that could allow an attacker to compromise your Windows-based system and gain control over it. Try this solution by use of the add/remove option naturally in your Control Panel, should you find like me, having tried the other solutions posted here that LW still doesnt connect Hope this helps RW |

and what if you have vista and its not working and you have tried EVERYTHING in these posts. I have the PRO version of Limewire and it will not connect at all |
1. Check the Vista section. 2. And probably more valid is, remove all your versions of Java & install Java 1.5 instead; Java 1.5 (take the JRE) (about 4th on the list) and choose the "Offline" installation which is about 15 MB download. Oh hold on you can't connect, perhaps I am jumping the gun a little for the 2nd suggestion. Check the Vista section & Sticky. If no help, then answer 6_pac 's question above about system details. We can't help you much without them. We can't see into your home or have ESP. lol :D |
My limewire keeps telling me that it can detect a firewall but i turned evrytin off: antivirus, firewall. and then no hosts come up on the connection screen |
THe problem is probably then either your modem/router or ISP. Most high speed modems/routers have internal NAT firewalls. Can't help you without further details as requested many, many, many times in this thread & forum rules. |
what shud i do? |
by the way nice icon :) |
|
how shud i find all the hidden firewalls, wen i shut down all the ones i cud find and there is still the brick wall in front of internet ball . it tels me i cant conect cuz i have firewal on. |
Just give us the information we requested. Tell us what operating system you have, what security software you have, what modem/router you use, what ISP you have, etc. etc. Copy and paste the form with your answers in bold following the questions. Do your best. It will save all of us some time if you can answer most of them the first time around. ;) Dano |
