l need to download LW 4.16 or maybe 4,16.1 or .2
 

Help would be appreciated. l searched online for about 2 hrs and didn't find it. l don't even know how to go about the process of downloading it once l get it! Duh. :blink:.

Signature, avatar image, etc. can be set in your Control Panel. See the User CP button top left below the title of the thread, click on it & you will see options on left side of your control panel window. :)

Signature is automatically added to all your posts unless you click the option at bottom of post not to show signature. ;)

eg: my penguins is an avatar image.

downloaded LW 4.16 and IT quits as soon as it loads, too
 

my desktop is cluttered up with LW and it's installer and the older version does the same thing as the latest one did AND I COULDN'T EVEN FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT IN MY DOCK :annoyed: . l'm SO frustrated. Your help will be appreciated ;).

l use a Mac, which is totally different from a PC, which l've never used (the rules forbid saying how long, but a LONG time) and don"t know what a control panel is except from people talking. l like your penguins, though. l thought you'd posted in Mac OSX forums.

BYW l forgot to say, l got LW 4.16.2 + it did the same thing
 

lt quit right away after appearing on the desktop, cluttering it up with the installer, which l can et rid of, and LW, which l'll do away with after you or some one, shows me it'll never work. :licklips:

Not sure why you are having such problems. How did you go with a fresh account?

What type of mac do you have, model, ram, disk space, drives, processor speed, etc.?

Which OSX version are you running? After all this time, you still had not stated it. ;)


Personally I try to keep my desktop clean. But I do use multiple hard disk drives, so can easily arrange my things. I don't like using the OSX system drive for holding my personal files, which of course is the default location. And applications that don't require being on the system drive I move/install to a drive-partition of their own. Likewise for my iTunes music library. I like to keep the system drive just for basic system duties where possible. (As well as keep as much space available on there, since OSX uses so much Virtual Memory (VM).)

BTW to place an item into the Dock, can drag & drop it there, else after opening, move its location in the dock else, control-click & choose Keep in Dock from the sub-menu that appears. Can add folders, etc. to the Dock. You probably already know that but ..

Depending on which computer & OSX version you are using, & if none of the above & PM suggestions work, could try an older version in mean time. ;) There does seem to be a problem with LW 4.18 on many intel machines.

As my earlier PM said, l have the last of the PowerPCs, no Intel, This machine won't support Snow Leopard, l need to find out more about for my next machine. SL comes out sometime in 09, as you know. BTW, the Java may not be the latest, my correction. Also my
L2Cach(perCPU) 512KB

Try LW 4.8.1 as suggested in PM. I have a suspicion the problem is related to the method in how you installed Leopard OSX 10.5. ;)

BTW what happened when you set up a new account? Same problem?

You might have to end up reinstalling Leopard, which is not as painful as it sounds really. Only painful part is doing the updates.

Also, do you have any partitions or 2nd drives on your computer?

LW,again
 

No, only an external hard drive. What description of item would l give to Amazon for a 2nd) drive? But l don't want anything to invalidate AppleCare which has paid for a send-in repair (display,some wiring + 2 batterys) + 2 keyboards(do-it-yourself, easy on a iBook, not so on a MacBook).

Do you mean a normal reinstall? Thank you for all the care + attention! :)

Lw 4.8.1 Quit
 

Same thing happened- WHY was l able to download 2 songs wirh the newest version the 1st time l launched LW- and never again. lt did work on THIS machine. And with this Leopard OSX. :confused:

LW 4.18.2 goes one step more
 

We must love music (and more...) to go on with this! The newest version shows the search bar for 10 seconds before it quits- also it is the only version that stays in the dock, after control-clicking, of course + selecting 'keep in dock'.

l will reinstall Mac OSX Leopard if you really strongly think it needs to be done.

lhave grown to have a lot of respect for you during my trip through Gnutella!

Should not need to delete anything if do an Archive Install. All it does is install the new system folder, copy all or almost all preferences & support files from the old system folder to the new one. So after installing, you can then delete the old system folder (which will take up perhaps 10-20 GB.) But double-check your old personal account folder first just to be sure everything was copied to the new one.

You should repair permissions however after doing this.

This is the best alternative I can think of. Otherwise LW will simply not run on your machine. There may be other problems your computer has you don't realise.

Downside of doing this: Some applications such as final cut pro might need to be re-serialised. But most apps should be fine. You will need to download the update packages for OSX after reinstalling the system. However, Mac packages all the system updates into a single installer, inclusive of all other updates so no need to download separate 10.5.2 & 10.5.3, etc. updates. ;)

* Oh .. when doing the Archive Install, click the options button to be sure you are installing only what you wish to install. You can uncheck most of the language packages for example to save hard disk space. ;)

Happy to help where I can. :)
