question on response to users question
 

Don't you mean the lack of information? Or are you being sarcastic to make the person feel small and helpless and maybe turn away from asking for help again?

Remoc, I assure you that I am not scully23 ! :eek:

Possibly Remoc hasn't been taken out for a walk lately so he forgot to suggest this... ? :p

I would Never be sarcastic to make the person feel small and helpless.:whistling:

As I Stated above Scully, The more info that can be offered when posting will obviously help US to Help You. Just posting a statement as generic as the above was posted, may result in NO help at all. Its kinda like saying "My dishwasher quit working" Whats the problem??? Hmmm (I divorced her LOL)

Sorry Urs, Yes I have been out for a slow stroll, and Feel much better now. :PEACE:
Darn I guess I should have posted the System Details link but.....

Remoc, as the solid citizen I know you are I have faith in your stating you would never resort to sarcasm. I think we wasted to much precious breathing time already. Now, who is this 3rd party worm that based on 2 sentences I wrote declares that no one would ever want to be me. What revealing words did I use that gave her insight into my entire persona so deeply that she could declare that no one on the face of this earth would want to be me? Couple of facts, I am Italian I'm from New York and she don't shaddup she can fugettaboutit.

New poster..Greets all y'all. Looked at dozens of FAQ's and previous threads but didn't loc my prob in discussion.

WinXP Pro SR2 all updates, 3.2 gHz, 3 GB RAM, 6 HD's, over 1 Terabyte storage, 100,000+ tunes, less than 100 shared at a time. Something you want, just ask. Am a part/time DJ, 75% of stored/saved tunes are directly ripped from studio library at 160/192/224/256 Kbps. 25% from P2P sharing.

No other P2P's
LW Pro 4.16.7 upgraded from 4.14 Pro. Problem didn't exist before.

I have no problem D/L'ing to or playing from my established Shared Folder location (F:\My Shared Files). However, when I COPY D/L'd files to another Folder (F:\Temp), they will play, but if I MOVE files to another Folder, they will not play. I have columns active for "Filename, Duration, Bit Rate, Size, Track, Album title, Year". When I COPY, all that info transfers to new location, but if I attempt to MOVE files, only Filename and size info columns fill.
T.I.A. Direct emails welcome. M'aidez, s'il vous plait.

Hey, Juan !
You got here before I told you to come here !
;)

Hope the links help to resolve the problems.

Recommended fixes No Go
 

Sorry, Ursula,...The Lord Of The Rings recommended fixes you linked me to were already tried, but I went through all the steps again.

I had JRE 1.6.0_1 installed. Removed it with Ctrl Pnl A & R Pgms.
Went to link for J2SE 1.5.0_11, installed it offline, as recommended.
Tried to D/L a tune, it arrived in folder F:\My Shared Files. It played fine. I copied it to F:\Temp, it played fine, I MOVED IT to F:\Temp, would NOT play and would not transfer back, Error message: Access Denied

Got a popup, NEW JAVA Software available, it Autoinstalled Java (TM) 6. update 5. I D/L'd another tune, arrived in correct folder, played fine, copied it over, played fine, MOVED IT, file would not play. Indicates file is there, filesize doesn't change in any circumstance, but add'l data doesn't transfer, as before. I then removed JRE 6.updt 5, too. Redo above, still no joy. Won't play when MOVED, only when COPIED.

Also found NO folder named C:\Documents and Settings\*my username*\ApplicationData\.limewire. Had "Show Hidden Files" already set. Did find C:\Doc & Set\*usr*\Limewire\ w/ 4 subfolders and a C:\Program Files\Limewire with the installation subfolders and files in it.

What Next...use RESTORE function to go to previous ver of LW? Already paid to update.

RE: PM; Tilted slightly off-center now....
p.s. only sharing 100 at a time, don't want to be a target for RIAA. Anytune you looking for?
p.p.s Been in P2P for 8 years, was also On-air talent years ago.

Which player are you using? WMP is a playlist player, so if they were originally added from a different location, the player might not be able to find the new locations. Do you have any program that does not use playlists? A player that plays songs directly will tell you if the files you have copied are ok. Open them directly.

The player I use..
 

..is WinAmp ver 5.093, the latest ver I believe. I try to stay away from WMP and even so, have not loaded later than ver 9 of that, due to DRM restrictions embedded in ver 10 and later. Even so, before the latest ver of LW that I'm using, I was able to play tunes in either WinAmp, WMP or the LW embedded player, AFTER MOVING them to a new folder. Now, none of my players will play a tune after moving it. Only if I keep a copy of the tune in the F:\My Shared Folder, will it play in a different folder. After copying, I see all the file attributes in IDv2 and IDv3 in WinAmp, but if I MOVE a file, all attributes are gone and all that shows in my "Moved to" fiolder is filename and filesize. And I can't move them back.

T.I.A. 4 ur help.

hmm ... I still get the impression that it's a playlist issue. I know winamp also uses or can use playlists. Have you tried removing the listing from winamp of the song, then re-adding from the new location?

Also, does the new location have same user permissions to the one you were using on F drive? Check user permissions in both locations.
eg: one location might be set to your user account permissions, and the new location to another user who might be admin account only permissions. This can be changed via the control panels.

Cut down the tree, I'm Stumped.
 

I don't create playlists. I simply click on the song and it plays, Winamp is my default player. I am the only user of this PC, I have Admin privileges. I did not have this problem at all until I updated/upgraded to LW ver 4.16.6. I initially started with 4.14.1 and had no problem Moving files from any folder to any other folder and they'd play. I'm Copying or Moving from Folders on the same drive, as a general rule, until I need to sort them into alphabetical folders. Then I'll move them to another drive.

This lockout after moving has only begun with the last two upgrades. I have D/L'd LimeWireWin 4.16.7.1 but haven't installed it yet. Could be that will fix it. I used Control Panel A & D prgms to remove previous versions. When I D/L a file, I usually SAVE IT, then Run it from the saved location. Unfortunately, I've deleted the earlier versions of the previous editions of LW.

Thanks for your assistance.
Juan

Check the folder permissions of the folders you are having problems with.

Also check for viruses,etc. it sounds like your folder is locked or semi locked. ___ (a) Incomplete Download File won't delete at all (click on link). This link has many suggested utilities to use.
Getting access to locked files or folders: (b) How to take ownership of a file or folder in Windows XP (click link)

Make sure LW is closed when you try to move files.

This could possibly be some kind of bug in the new versions, though this is the first I've heard of this problem, could possibly report it here LimeWire Beta Forums

Hi, Juan and LotR...

I seem to recall there having been some other posts alluding to this same problem post-update. I cannot remember any details right now but I'll have a search.
Thing is that I am sure I have seen this subject raised but not in such a cogent manner.
I mean, I have the impression that Juan is about 18.736 years past 'newbie status" (Min).
All the steps and reports he has made indicate to me another bug in LW.
Problems started only after the gobsh¡te update more or less 'forced' on users... Some really bad 'threatening nature' popups.

And,
It ain't Winamp !;)

Gandalf and I both thank you...
 

It was the Ownership issue that was blocking the access. Once I turned off the default MS "Simple File Sharing" and followed the steps to "Take Ownership", although I was already logged on as Administrator, apparently this function became an issue with the newest version of LW. As a user of LW Pro, I was able to send LW Tech support the question, too, after exploring the forums. I haven't gotten an answer back from them, yet, but I will tell them you deserve kudos for unravelling the mystery.

I will have to do some further research to make sure that I have the same permissions set on all folders, using the "Apply To All folders" option in "View".

Lords usually don't need a reward, but if it's in my collection of a terabyte of tunes, it's yours. Send PM. :aweof:TYVM.
