Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

pretty sure type 1 and 2 errors are 'not enough memory' errors. Allocate more memory see if that helps.

i completely have the same problem. it doesn't matter how many applications are open, nor how much memory is allocated to limeware: i have given limeware 100mb, and with only finder (and i guess the fiddly little things that don't show up on the right of the menu bar) running, the apple click always crashes limeware. it is easy to avoid: minimize limeware, click on finder's desktop, and then go to apple.

the apple click of death also removes folder access from the apple menu! (ie. it gets rid of the little triangle on folders, like control panels, that open into sub-menus).

any, this feels like a bug to me.

for the record: mine is a brand new ibook (g3/500?)/256mB/20gB/OS9.1.

thanks

I have the same problem but worse.

I run a G4 with a 512kbps cable connection, OS9.1, Norton System Works and Norton Personal Firewall (necessary with a cable connection). Because of numerous sytem crashes, I have recently clean installed OS9.1 and updated all software using the automatic update system every day...... So I am completely current in ALL software.

I find that Limewire crashes my system constantly, and in the process this corrupts my system catalogue files and means that I have to repair my disk after every crash. Fortunately I hvae two HD in the G4, so I can start form the second when the system folder is completely screwed up.

The problem seems to occur most frequently as a download completes and the app moves it from the incomplete to the shared folder, and at the same time teh anti-virus kicks in to check the file for virus infection.

After one crash, even after a Disk Utility check and desktop rebuild, the syetem refuses to work in a stable fashion until I have run Norton Disk Doctor which always finds a long list of errors, particularly in the catalogue structure and in logical file lengths.

It's time this issue was fixed..............

There is a thread somewhere else here (likle on the 5th screen of threads) explaining that the problem will go away by disabling the "context sensitive menu" (or something like that) extension. Check that thread out.

But, clearly still a Limeware or Java bug. I posted a bug report to the address they give "bugs@limeware.com" but it generated an error report of undeliverability! is there a meta-bug address?!

Default limewire crashes always ¥mac os 9©1¤

I'm having the same problemas on my iMac, running Version 1©7c -- instant crash by clicking on any point outside the Limewire window© I haven't lost prefs©, but it won't remember any autoconnection entries I add©

I found that by pulling an Application Pallete onto the Desktop, and then staring Limewire, I could use that to switch to the Finder and from there, the Apple Menu©

Hope they fix it soon© I really like this app©

Unhappy Same bug on my Mac...

I have the same problem - both the random quiting for Type 2 errors even though my Mac has sufficient RAM (512MB) and sufficient RAM allocated to the program (150MB). Also, I lose the hierarchical menus in my Apple menu.

Please fix this!
