I'm with you Scruffian. I followed all these links and directions and still just a bobbing icon that stops bobbing after 5 seconds. Nothing.

Anyone else got a bright idea? Does installing Tiger fix it???:(

Yes, it does !! But some other apps won't like it : next I had to Install a new version of OpenOffice and still have trouble with EyeTV...

osx bouncing icon no limewire
 

A lot of people seem to be having this problem. (e mac osx 10.3.9) date is 21st Jan 2006. Limewire was working 3 days ago now it's not. I guess some updates have come down the line from apple and wiped out java again! this has happened to me 3 times now, each time fixed by upgrading to the latest java, installing it alone then repairing permissions etc. I dont know now which java I should be trying to download to fix this issue for panther? On the apple forum there is a post that states the QT 7.0.4 upgrade breaks java applications, could the most recent QT upgrade have done the same, and how could I resort to an older QT application. Help I just cant seem to fix this.

Is there a QT conflict
 

This questioned is aimed at The Lord Of The Rings?

Same old problem, Apple upgrades then Limewire crashes! At todays date 21st Jan 2006, what is the most up to date Java for osx 10.3.9 ? Do you know about the QT upgrade that breaks Java apps' ? How can I try and fix this.

You have fixed my problems in the past i am sure you can do it now!

Ouch. No easy solution yet; this problem looks like an issue for a new thread.

Developers of other java apps are noting a new conflict with the QuickTime 7.0.4 Update and 10.3.9, and the solutions to the previous problem don't work this time. I haven't found a link to a practical fix so far.

Quicktime 7.0.4 kills Java application

Here's the link to an uninstaller Quicktime 701 Reinstaller for Quicktime 7.0.4

On the Final Cut Pro forum, the attitude is always a wait & see approach, re: updating QuickTime. Better to wait & see whether it's safe to update. It's not uncommon for updates of QT to have some kind of bug.

This QT upgrade appears to be the problem! I have just returned to QT 7.01 from 7.04 and lo and behold my limewire is back! Now seems to be working fine, these Apple upgrades should come with a health warning! How are novice users meant to know the implications of these upgrades?

Thanks for the info.

Same here!

What a relief!

Will future updates cause this problem as well?

:) :) :) I am also back in business after doing the QT 7.01. reinstall!! I now swear to stay 3 mths behind in updates!!

Glad to hear this is getting things moving again. Apple inform me that I must have QT 7.05 to allow our i pods to function properly. Is this really true?

If I download 7.05 i guess limewire will dissapear!

What do we all do?
