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. |

 bouncing icon I think there is no simple answer. I tried a few of the suggestions, and got stymied on the reinstalling java. Don't know where to find that and I refuse to reinstall Panther. It is ridiculous that a user should be compelled to perform technical sommersaults in order to use a program. We are not all techie geniuses. If the bug is Apple's fault, and Gnutella programmers can't figure a way around it, then...oh well, goodbye to Limewire for the Mac. It was fun while it lasted.  |

| Goodbye coolgranny glad you enjoyed it whilst it lasted. I've used LW for several years but not had these issues. So ... why are you having these problems. It doesn't matter now does it! Updating over the internet has been known to have problems. That is why we suggest people use the standalone installers. Everything is contained within the installer & not installed over the net where anything might have happened to that data. Particularly if the person was impatient & used the net or their computer for other purposes simultaneously. The Java standalone is here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macos...update142.html Glad to see you were 'patient enough' to search for it. It is listed (or links to it) more than once in this thread alone. doh  |

| Devon: You didn't specify which OSX version you're running. If you're running OS 10.2 or later did you install Java using the Standalone Java installer as suggested? http://www.apple.com/downloads/macos...update142.html If that doesn't work, go to icon bouncing in dock & try the Jum build (suggestion no.8.) It's based on the Pro version. Last edited by Lord of the Rings; February 16th, 2005 at 03:00 AM. |

| Limewire only works in new account... I am running 10.3.8 and have not been able to open Limewire. I set up another account and it works. So there must be something in my setting that has changed, does anyone know what it might be? |

| Hi Dickybran LOTR asked me to suggest some ideas, so here they are (nice clear post btw--thanks). The most likely suspects in the original account would be a corrupted installer (clearing the Safari cache would be the best bet here before downloading a new installer) or the LimeWire folder inside the Home/Library/Preferences folder. Move any installlers and the LW Prefs folder somewhere else and try again to see if they are the culprits. If not, then the other less likely files would be any LW Dock icon(drag off dock to "pouff" it) or the Install LimeWire.pkg file in the hard drive's Library/Receipts folder. If neither of these fix the original home account's LW install, then you'd have to look for another java application that is interfering. Cheers--let us know what you find. |

| Reply for Stief... Hi Stief, thanks for the advice. I tried most of what you said but still no joy. I found some of what you said a bit difficult to understand, so I'm not sure I did the right things. I tried deleting everything LW related, but I know there are always lots of LW files spread out over the system, so I might not have removed them all. I cleared the Safari cache and downloaded LW again, but still no luck. Could you tell me exactly which files/folders and where they are please? I really appreciate your help! Rich |

| Hi Rich--sorry for the confusion. Was the "Library" part the problem? (OS X creates a Library for each account, plus has a master Library that you can see when you double click the hard drive). So you have at least three Libraries on your machine. Lets call them master, Rich, and Richnewadmin. LW is OK in Richnewadmin, so leave that Library alone. The master Library contains the Receipts folder, and is the only one which has the file called "Install LimeWire.pkg" . You can delete this file. When logged into the Rich account, use the Go menu to choose the Home acount. Find the Library here, open it to see the Preferences folder, then trash the LimeWire folder you find there. You should also see a "com.limegroup.gnutella.plist" file. Go ahead and trash that too. Use the Go menu to open the Applications folder, and drag the LimeWire folder to the trash too. You *might* get a warning message to "Authenticate" (since it was probably installed under the "Richnewadmin" account). Go ahead and enter the password if required. So, with no other installers lying around, you should be ready for a clean install again. If LW still won't install in the "Rich" account, then you can be pretty sure there's something besides LimeWire in the "Rich" account that's causing the problem use my PM button if this is still unclear, but do keep us posted on what you find. Cheers |
