I went to the folder were LimeWire was installed and did a "command I" on the LimeWire file then associated it with Terminal. Now all I have to do is double click the Limewire file and it runs.
But I won't stop there I want a pretty icon, don't we all. I downloaded Iconographer 2.0.2, copied the Limewire logo form the web, resized it in Photoshop to 32x32 and pasted it into Iconographer theen I saved the icon into Limewire. I then "command L" the Limewire file and made an alias, drag and drop to where I put all my X apps, in a docked folder.
It works great.

if you are getting the permission denied message when installing limewire,
open the terminal window and type:
chmod 777 LimeWireMacOSX.sh

this changes the permissions on the file. then you can run the installer. be sure, however, that after you run it you notice that it opens up a new window for you to click 'next', etc.

Ive been having pretty good luck with LW. I recall it installing fairly fast. I downloaded via cable to a quick silver 733.

Not sure what you are trying to do on the desk top, but i just draged the icon (in osx this may be a link to other files as well but only makes and alias depending were you drag it to) to my dock.


some issues: won't always start the first time (quites instantly) after a crash or exit, it is not consistant with the files it remembers are downloading upon the next session

What's your problem ? I've been uploading files on Mac without any problem.

i have down loaded each version since 1.6, and never had a prob. if the download takes more than 15 min start again.

i miss the old green plug, but not enough to get rid of the coffee cup from NASA, not that it makes any sense.

Which raises a more important question: Why design a Furbie that necessitates opening and soldering it. Apple was on the right track by trying to design a computer that you don't have to think about (granted, they failed miserably). I don't give a crap what's happening behind the scenes. I've got much more important things to worry about than terminals and UNIX.

I didn't have any problems downloading or uninstalling limewire 18-c. I didn't have to use the terminal. Are you guys sure you have the latest stuffit expander? The icon does not present in the dock (it is an applet icon), but I don't mind.

I'd try to redownload the installer (perhaps disable firewalls). Also, i'm using Internet explorer 5.1. Other browsers may give you problems?

Peace,
