OS X Leopard - all versions crash on start
 

Major crash in Leopard. Limewire has been okay ever since I installed it a while back, but recently it crashes on startup. The program shows momentarily, but crashes almost straightaway. The latest version seemed to crash after it's installing digital audio access. I installed an older one, but that does the same.

Here's the report. Any advice would be appreciated. As mentioned, it's only happened recently.

Fast Crash
 

The same thing happens to me. I have been using my MacBook Pro for two years. Suddenly, about a month ago Limewire started crashing at startup after the first question about upgrading. Last week, I upgraded to Leopard, but nothing changed. My exception error is slightly different. It is as follows:

Just started working again!

I reinstalled the new version of Missing Sync and after that, Limewire seemed to be okay. I don't think it's connected, but then again, you never know. Missing stopped working properly because I was using the Tiger version. They released the new version and after the download, it started up.

Strange.

I was in Leopard to start off with.

Missing sync?
 

That's good you've got it working. However, I don't see the relevance. I think you've run into a lucky coincidence, or perhaps Missing Sync is packed with something that helped your situation. After all, our errors were slightly different. Yours indicated a Java process. Mine only talks about Limewire as the process. I have never used Missing Sync, and I have no need for it. So, I think I'm looking for a different solution. Congrats on yours, though.

same thing happens to me
same error too
its driving me crazy!

i tried to download limefrost to see if it was
just limewire, but the same thing happens with that
program too

I hope you all saw this http://www.gnutellaforums.com/mac-os...sx-10-5-a.html (click on link)

Also, make sure you do safe boots & repair permissions after installing any software or updates for programs or OSX; help! limewire suddenly gone down, cant get it working. - Gnutella Forums (permissions) SAFE Boot & Repair Permissions.

You can also set up another account on your computer & see if the same problem occurs; Setting up a Test Account in OSX (click on link)

Heres the weird thing ...
 

I basically had a situation where: everytime i click later or the close button, when it says "do u want to upgrade ..." etc it would crash ... however, if i didnt click it straight away and just start searching (the blinking "|" symbol should be blinking as soon as it loads, indicating u can start typing, despite the upgrade box being up) it will work fine, and after i begin searching i can click off the upgrade to limewire pro box fine and carry on like normal...

let me know if this is just lucky for me or if it works for others:super:

p.s. the "super" emoticon was just cos it looked funny and holds no relevance

Mine seems to have spontaneously repaired itself. Weird! Whatev...

lol :D But at least it is working now. Good to hear. :)
