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. 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. |

 OSX 10.3.5 / LW will not run Hi, I have recently updated my system to OSX10.3.5 and found that I can no longer run LW. I have tried reinstalling it, tried deleting every limewire file (search in finder and all preference files) tried the new beta version. Checked that I am using the latest Java (1.4.2) and just about everything else but still no success. Any ideas? G4 800MHz  |

 What happens when you try to open LW? What is it that suggests it no longer runs? It may well have had something to do with permissions. Run Disk Utility to repair permissions. When I updated ot 10.3.5 & updated Java I was unable to use LW 4.1.4 properly. But I happily run 4.1.5. |

| when I click on the LW icon it launches, goes through the startup, asks me if I want to go pro, then loads up the tip of the day. It is here that it crashes and I am asked if I want to submit a report to apple. I have already repaired the permissions using disk utility. I have updated to Java 1.4.2 and downloaded LW 4.1.5 beta. All versions have the same result. It all went pear shape when I updated to OSX 10.3.5. What do you think? |

| What does the crash report say? If you save the report it will be saved to your HDD. It was suggested to me quote: Safe boot should fix it--seems that the java crashes until it's been run a few times after a fresh install. Turning off TOTD and "Connect on Startup" also helps java get settled. Thanks stief Last edited by Lord of the Rings; October 11th, 2004 at 10:33 PM. |

| Thanks for the help but you may need to clarify a few points. At the risk of sounding tech ignorant, what do you mean by TOTD? I have turned off the start at startup function - same. The crash report is huge and will not paste into this window. If you don't mid I can mail it to you? Thanks |

| Check out: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...6094#post96094 (safe mode) & also http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...3462#post93462 TOTD = tip of the day See if the crash report will fit into a PM for me. Oh before you post it, see if you can edit it. Chances are, the reason it's so big is each time LW's crashed on you, it appends the same report; ie: adding the new report at the end of the previous one. Take the most recent part. At the beginning of each report will be ********** Host Name: & new date & time, etc. An edited crash report may well fit in here actually. Since you're not registered I'm not sure if you're able to send pm's. Last edited by Lord of the Rings; October 12th, 2004 at 03:05 AM. |

| No connection at all! I've seen a similar problem with 4.0.8 PRO I'm up to date on all my system updates (10.3.5 on a new 20" G5 iMac) and Limewire is DEAD. I've sent email to PRO support and get NOTHING back...exactly why did I upgrade if the support is so bad? Turned off tips, connect on startup...still no connection. Is this a java problem? What do I do?? HELP anyone! |

| As suggested earlier, do a Safe start (holding down the shift key) & use disk utility from your utilities folder to repair permissions. You can also try LW beta Pro 4.1.7 released just yesterday. You can dwnld it from your LW dwnld page after logging in (it's at bottom of your personal page.) Improvements can be seen here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=29245 It is supposed to be able to connect more easily & has pause dwnld option, plus more. It may take a couple of restarts & uses of net before java settles down. With the last java update my LW 4.1.4 stopped working properly. I've heard before that LW support are sometimes slow to respond. |

| still no connection cont. Can't do a safe mode boot since I use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse...in safe mode, they are not recognized... Did a permissions repair...no changes found. Can't find my "download" page anywhere! What obvious thing am I not doing? I'll be happy to try the beta, because at this point...4.0.8 is useless to me. HELP! |

| YOU MUST REMEMBER THIS, (getting sentimental about a song) you need to remember what email you registered under & then enter the folloing login: http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...pro_lookup.jsp You'll find the beta Pro at the bottom of the dwnld page. If you still have probs, PM me! ok! Perhaps I can find another solution. Perhaps not as good but still. |
