help! limewire suddenly gone down, cant get it working. my limewire basic program for my mac os x 10.3.5, started crashing at start up. i downloaded a new version, but no difference. then i downloaded the beta version and it worked once, but when i restarted my computer it was doing the same thing. i had just updated my java aswell from software update. i tried the mac classic and it kinda works but it frezzes now and again. can anyone help me with this? |
Did you try to eliminate system-wide problems?It's a good idea before and after major system updates, to run a safe boot (reboot and hold down the shift key during system startup), then Disk Utility to repair permissions. Here's more info on those steps Mac OS X 10.2, 10.3: How to start in Safe Mode Repairing Permissions File System Check and Repair (fsck) more details what "Safe Boot" is doing |
Or do yourself (and your computer's) a favor and buy a third party Disk Utility: I just bought one, ran a check and found MAJOR problems. Oopsie. Weird thing is that the iMac was operating (almost) perfectly. No sign of any major problems. Yet, something about B-Trees and stuff came up. Plus, it corrected a weird minor problem I have with desktop icons (an error which causes some of the desktop icons to display a wrong icon, be it a deformed version of the original or a totally different icon. The error still comes up at times. I think it's 'cause of BitTorrent... .Thankfully, the Disk Utility -it's a Norton- repairs it) |
Careful--the Norton disk utilities were cursed for quite a while on the Apple Forums and other mac groups. People were claiming it "fixed" problems that weren't and caused many problems. I really liked Norton for OS 9, but OS X is different. search for "norton" on the http://www.macattorney.com/tutorial.html page |
Yeah, but I heard that the latest version is good... |
