I have LW 4 and im having trouble connecting. i havnt had trouble since yesterday..and i have had LW for a few years. I tried the firewall thing and i cannot turn it off cuz i dont want viruses. can someone help me? also if u uninstall and reinstall it will i lose all my songs??

Check where your songs are located by going to the library, highlighting a song and pressing explore.

Limewire when uninstalled will remove one or two folders. The Limewire program folder and maybe the application data folder (can't remember). If your songs are in one of those, then they will be deleted, if not then no problem.

Hey guys I have the same problem... I have a new Mac platinum and when I click on the LM icon nothing happens... the program doesn't open...

I tried uninstalling and installing several times, I even downloaded a new version and still nothing happens... the strange thing is that LM works quite well on my PC with Windows XP.

I recently downloaded some apple software updates related to Safari, iPhoto and general subjects... would it be possible that one of these updates had blocked my Limewire???

If not... please help !!
