LW to ITunes stopped working
 

All of a sudden my latest Limewire downloads do not automatically transfer to I tunes like normal. I'm running LWPE. Is there something I can change in the setup for this? Thanks very much.

Usually disabling then re-enabling the settings fixes it. Or restarting both programs. First try it with iTunes then quit iTunes. If that does not work, then try it with LW. Though if you are having a long LW session, this is usually when it seems to happen and you may not wish to restart LW.

I'm still having troubles with this. Any more suggestions? I'm pretty sure the problem is on the LW side since it began after I reloaded LWPE last month. Thanks

Disable the setting in LPE then go back to options and change it back to enable iTunes. Or is this not having any effect?

Is it being unreliable or not working at all?

Sometimes when my LPE has been running as an ultrapeer for 2-3 days it suddenly shows as being firewalled and drops down to 23 peers. It is my guess LW has lost its communication with the router via UPnP. Usually a restart of LW and all is fine. It's my guess it is a similar situation with LW and iTunes via the DAAP and Bonjour protocols (Bonjour and UPnP supposedly have similar discovery techniques.)

Thanks LOTR. OK, I have not yet been able to get any LW downloads into Itunes. Under Tools, Options, My Files, I tunes, Configure I tunes, I uncheck "add all audio files to Itunes". Then shut the program down several times and even re-boot the PC, Then reset back to configure Itunes. Yet it still will not add the new downloads to Itunes.

Are you using the LW playlist in iTunes also or only wanting files added to iTunes?
Double-check the iTunes preferences advanced setting is set for Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library.

I wonder if the Sharing section of iTunes would help, if it's not already set to share. ie: In iTunes preferences, check option for Share my library on local network. Does not matter which option of entire library or selected playlists as long as LW is included.

In LW check option for Share audio and video files on local network with iTunes. Doing this might also spring the transfer/copying of files back into action.

Are you using Java 6 or 7?

Wow, thanks for all that LOTR! Previously I have tried everything you listed there except for sharing. To answer your question, I do not use a LW playlist I am just trying to add files to Itunes. I am using Java 6. And.......I'm sorry to say I'm still stuck.

At this point I am not sure of a solution. I tried both the regular LPE and File_Girl's LPE and songs and videos are refusing to transfer across to iTunes 10 with both. Also with both the download message says unable to scan with anti-virus. Does this happen for you also?

I upgraded to iTunes 11 and same story.

Seems LPE transfers to iTunes fine for Birdy. So I'm stumped but still trying to find what's wrong.

I normally use MacOSX and the iTunes transfer works fine for OSX. iTunes 11.

Yep, everything's working as it should for me. Using Win XP, File_Girl71's version of LPE & iTunes 10.5.2.11

I have local network sharing enabled & copy files to media library checked within iTunes preferences.

I guess you could try either deleting LW's prefrences folder (instructions found within the sticky here): If LW 5 Will Not Connect or reinstalling LPE.
Other than that, I really don't know :o
