Another Startup Crash Error...
 

Sorry to start another thread on this, but nothing has worked for me so far.

I'm working on Panther OSX 10.3.9, and I can install alright, but when I go to open it, I get "The application Limewire has unexpectedly quit." everytime.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled many times, I've unblocked it from the firewall list, I've reinstalled/updated my java. Help please? :(

I am having the same problem except I am running on Tiger instead of Panther. All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

LW crashes
 

IF Voice Over ( on System preference / Universal Access) is activated, try to desactivate it. It worked for me.

Me Too
 

I'm having the same trouble - I'm running 10.3.9

I downloaded limewire yesterday and it ran without any problems. Now today it loads and just quits.

Below is part of my error report - Let me know if you have any further suggestions - note the Exception & CODES

Thanks!

Salut, the crash you just pointed out is an Apple Java crash, not a LimeWire crash.

I would suggest you going onto the apple.com download page and reinstall the latest java upgrade on your osx machine.

Bonne chance

I am experiencing the same crash quite often (every few days), and I am running the latest Java version available for Panther.

Startup Crash Error
 

I, too have installed, reinstalled, and uninstalled , discarded p-lists, repaired permissions, and get the same crash report, exactly as was just cited on this thread.

A question:
when I open 'terminal', to try reprogramming, no windows open, just a teeny little fraction of a screen, only big enough to contain a 'close' button. I never got to try new commands for java, because it won't produce a window. A small screen with an empty text area opens, but then disappears into a tiny corner of a window's task bar with one button on the upper left. Suggestions? I must be missing something very basic.

Thanks much. The suggestions are very much appreciated by this reader...

i have changed the universal access, updated the java. it wont let me update security. it says that the volume does not need to be updated.
and still LW quits on start up!

Hello again,
After many reinstallations of java, Mac patches, Limewire, and trashing p-lists, I'm not sure why but it is now working and has been all day. ANd survived many reboots. I did learn that the p-lists often are the cause of problems, or are a good way to figure out what the problem is. Remove the p-llist from Preferences, the applications immediately create new ones that lack the offending information which perhaps existed from before all the trouble started.

It would be nice if it were a less capricious event, and could be resolved in some sort of a patch from Limewire...????? or Apple? this is obviously a serious and consistent problem.

thanks for all the suggestions and support. This is a great forum with very knowledgeable and intelligible people!

about terminal and the tiny screen
 

If anybody else has a non-existent terminal screen, and needs to write some new commands for java, I learned that it is caused by a font problem (as many things in the Mac are). if the typeface 'Monaco' isn't in your computer any longer thanTerminal won't work or produce a screen. In 'addressbook', if Helvetica is missing, same thing.Those fonts have to be in the System folder which has about 19 fonts, all apple fonts. I lost Monaco and Helvetica (I have a different one that isn't acceptable to Mac), and can't recover it. So those programs don't work for me.


ALSO, MAKE SURE you name any extra font folders sitting on your desktop waiting to be loaded, something slightly different than 'fonts' because the Mac will take the initiative and load the fonts (it happened to me!)...i.e. names like fontz, fontetc, etc, work.


Does anyone know of a place I can get Apple's Monaco and Helvetica? I tried Limewire, and, gratefully got a thousand other fonts, but not those.
Thanks.

P list in prefrances, is the file called P list or is this a nick/short name for it? i cant see anything called "p list" in my prefrance folder.


preferences.plist is THIS what i am looking for? its created by the finder/computer

To reinstall the Java or security update, you'll need to delete the equivalent .pkg file version from the receipts folder. You get the "null" message in the Apple installer when a OS X thinks a more recent version is installed. Double-click the harddrive icon, open the Library, open the Receipts folder, then find the file: Java142Update2.pkg or JavaSecurityUpdate4.pkg (whichever is applicable), delete it and try again. eg: Receipts folder sample image

Apparently the Softw Update program which installs over the net can result in incomplete/corrupt installations. That's why we recommend re-installing using the standalone/"offline" installers.

BTW this applies to OS 10.3 users

"you cannot install this software on this volume, This volume does not contain a version of java web start that needs updating"

is what i get + a masive stop sign with a ! in it on the HD icon.

i have also used the find app to find all LW files and deleated em, downloaded a older version of LW, and it still did the same thing.

well i give up trying to sort this one out. Downloaded a Gnutella P2P called Acqlite, it conects to the Gnutella server. it works fine.. so far.

i will keep an eye on LW as i do like using it. but if OSX and LW cant come up with a proper patch/fix for everyone then i am gonna just keep using what ever else is available and does work.

Well I'm glad I spent so much time explaining what to do when mac os gives that warning of unable to install. By gads, why not buy a pc instead. Are mac users really so ... well i guess i could have printed it in double size but doubt it'd make much diff to some people. Good luck with aquaflux. I'm off to view how well my LW is downlding as it always does. Total bandwidth op. :D :)

you did a good job explaining what to do. and i did what you said and i still didnt get anywhere. spent 3 days on this trying to get it to work. even went to java main site to DL java web start bits.. nada.
i will keep checking LW, once a month or so. but i do have things to get on with now i have upgraded from OS9.2.2 (grudgingly) have had a few teething probs but all are sorted now. and i havent even crashed the mac today, so must be doing well!

Can you tell me where to get that program?

do a search on google, its how i found it.
