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.

i'm not sure why - since you just purchased your iMac, what version of iTunes do you have? there is a recent update available, that you can get from Software Update - go to System Preferences in the Apple Menu, and choose Software Update.

Default itunes v2.0.4 and repeated errors

zbell, its confusing..I think if I understood the basic machinations of what is happening between downloading music off the internet ie. limewire and what relationship it has with itunes Id be able to figure things out better , tho by the sound of some of these threads..even the best of them are stymied..
I have itunes 2.0.4....and what im finding is that at some point while im downloading music from limewire and putting it into my limewire playlist then saving it (maybe I dont need to save it..maybe it transfers automaticly into itunes..//) whatever..when I try to open itunes I get an error type -39 or -208...and I end up having to throw out the itunes library and in prefrences I have to throw out the com.apple.itunes .plist then I can click on itunes and it starts up as if for the first time..and I have go thru this process of dragging everything back into itunes...it seems tho that I have mp3s in a share folder and a music folder..which folder is the safest place to hold my mp3s in these cases of errors??
well...thanks for your time..

okay, in simple terms: LimeWire and iTunes aren't related. you use LimeWire to download files of any type; you use iTunes to play music files. LimeWire's Library is not a "playlist", it's a basic file manager, and LimeWire is not a music-management application. iTunes uses playlists to manage music files. when you download files through LimeWire, they get saved in a Shared folder; after that, you can do whatever you want to with the files.

to make things even simpler for you, in order to play an mp3 file in iTunes, just drag it ANYWHERE in the iTunes window, then click on the play button. that's it. you can drag more than one file onto the window at the same time, if you wish, to create a bigger playlist.

you really should get familiar with your operating system and its applications, so you can better understand how things work, and what they do.

good luck!

Default ..how do I avoid those errors -208?

ok, ..that was very helpful..so bascily what ever I do in limewire goes to the share folder...
*where do others on limewire upload music from me??..is it only when Im on line? with limewire?..(boy that must sound like a dumb question..but gotta know to understand..) *or are they sharing from my "share " folder?
.
*what about the music folder that has some songs in it?
*which can I safely delete with out losing the songs???I would imagin the music folder?
*in limewire once songs are in playlist column and the options are to "save" .."open" or remove...what am I doing when i save them? ..are they not already being saved in the share folder?
and last but not least( for now...:-)
* where is the safest place to keep copies of my mp3s so that when itunes errors, I dont lose them all togeather..?
thanks soo much for your time....eventually Ill get good at this ..and hopefully Ill be able to help others instead of asking redundant questions...

treate the LimeWire Shared folder like you would any other folder - delete files, and they're gone. it's as simple as that. move them, copy them, trash them if you wish. they're just files. if you delete anything from the LimeWire Library (which you MUST remeber is NOT a playlist), the file will really be deleted, because the Library is a file manager.

the files you see in your Library are the files that are in the Shared folder - the Library is just a reference to those files, and lets you know what's in your Shared folder, without you having to actually go into the folder. you don't have to press Save or anything else; they are already there. you're just creating extra work and extra confusion for yourself.

it does not matter where you save files. if you are having problems with iTunes, you have to figure out why, and stop relating the application to LimeWire. if you are unfamiliar with iTunes, you have to learn how to use it first (actually, it's very simple), before you can figure out how to troubleshoot it. check out Apple's website; they should have some information.
