LW wont load - help!
 
Limewire was running fine, downloaded new update and now all i get are a few bounces from the icon in the dock before it stops loading?

I'm running 10.4.5 and havnt had a problem before. Have tried deleting everything and reloading but no dice?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Which OSX version are you running?

Did you update your Quicktime recently? QuickTime 7.0.4 bug stops LimeWire from opening!

I'm running OSX 10.4.5
Have just reverted from quicktime 7.0.4 to 7.0.1 and it hasnt made any difference?

Is there anything else i need to change? I'm starting to pull my hair here.

Then try deleting LW preferences found here /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire

If still not work, try downlding the newest beta here Lime Wire » Download LimeWire Beta

BTW are you using Java 1.4.2 or 1.5? It's highly recommended to use 1.5 & force LW to use Java 1.5 (J2SE 5.0 = Java 1.5). You do this by opening the Java utility found in the Utility folder & opening the J2SE 5.0 folder & opening the Java Preferences & putting Java 1.5 at the top of the list. Save your settings of course! More about this here About Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Release 1 for Tiger

Have tried deleting my limewire preferences.
Have downloaded newest beta version.
Have changed my Java settings to 1.5.

Still dosent launch - arrrggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Have checked the crash log and it states that the error is due to:

Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Libraries/libverify.dylib

Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Libraries/libjava.jnilib
Reason: no suitable image found.

Did find: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Libraries/libverify.dylib: unknown file type, first eight bytes: 0x6A 0xE9 0xE5 0x6E 0xC1 0x32 0xFA 0xB6

Any suggestions??

1) verify that Java works: dl Azureus, other known P2P program http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/13635

If it works:

2) what version of LW are you using and what was the version that previously work? Can you post the complete console log?

Ciao

Interesting - Azureus dosent work either so it must be a Java issue.
Is there a way of purging all the java settings and starting from scatch?

re: Java Upgrade
 
On the upgrade page it says you need version OSX 4 and higher, I have OS3.9. I'm having the same problem. I have had this problem since I upgraded to the latest version of Limewire. The previous version of Limewire was perfect. NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER. I had Limewire pro and it somehow stopped working and I was forced to download the new version. The problem isn't so much the speed of the downloads but rather maneuvering within the program. The cursor gets stuck highlighted on something...say within the search results and I can't move. I can't click, I can't highlight something else, I can't close a window and eventually a hanging beachball will pop up. I assumed this was just Limewire's way of getting me to purchase the PRO version again, so today, I bit the bullet and charged the $18.88 on my credit card. But the problem hasn't gone away so now I've invested almost $20 into something that's useless. If I can't get this to work, then I will be forced to dispute the charge with my credit card company. I really don't want to do that because I just want Limewire to work like it used to. I've spent the last hour going through the forum reading all the problems Limewire has had with the new version and all the while people are saying how the old version worked just find. So why fix something that isn't broken? I'd have gladly forked over another $18.88 to avoid the hassle that I've gone through since downloading the "new (and improved?!? Huh?) version"

Do I sound annoyed? That's because I am. I spent a lot of money to get a good mac, a DSL internet connection and Limewire prevents me from using it to its maximum potential.
