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.

Angry 2.8.5 Installer won't run - quits on launch

Downloaded and unzipped the 2.8.5 installer to get Limewire Installer.app. Double click it to launch and nothing, it appears in the Dock for a split second then disappears. Didn't launch in 10.1.5 yesterday, I thought I'd have to wait to upgrade to Jaguar (which I also did yesterday). Now running OS X 10.2.3 and it still won't launch. At least v2.6.5 still works for me, although I get the annoying error message that all users must upgrade to 2.8.4 or something at startup...

Any clues? Using a TiG4 Powerbook with 768 MB of RAM...no other problems with Jaguar thus far, I love it.

Thanks in advance,

Nick

Question reply

Seems like I had the same problem awhile back with one of their numerous upgrades. I found the uninstal limewire icon and removed everything affiliated with limewire and then redownloaded it from their website and it worked great after that.

Hello I have the same problem
This is my personal solution
lunch Terminal and put the Limeware install 2,8,5 folder on your host folder (apple + alt + H) and on the terminal wrote : "#the name of limeware folder#/contents/Macos/intaller "
#the name of limeware folder# : replace this by the name of your folder
when you wrote this click of return and the installer soft , is lunch
Test this and send me

Hello,
I'm having the same problem with the installer. When trying to launch the installer, it appears in the dock and then disappears. I'm running Jaugar 10.2.3. Once I updated my OS to 10.2.3, I noticed the problem with the installer. Any solutions to this problem?

Default problem solved!

On my parents' G4/400, which never had any version of LimeWire installed on it (at least not since I erased the HD last year to install 10.1), there was no problem installing LW 2.8.5 on Jaguar 10.2.3.

So I decided to re-download the LW Installer a few days ago on my PowerBook G4, which had been having the problems, and voila, no problem. Installer ran fine and I'm now running 2.8.5 on my TiBook running Jaguar 10.2.3. It's a HUGE improvement over the 2.6.4 or whatever I was running before!

So try downloading the installer again, if not email me (nyoung@mac.com) and I'll email you the copy of the installer I have...or it should be on my .Mac Public Folder for nyoung.

Good luck!

Nick

I too have the same problem. When launching the installer it appears briefly in the dock and then nothing. I tried the removal and re-downloading, but to no avail.

Looks like I spent my money for nothing!

G4 iMAC 800 running 10.2.3

There must be a solutions somewhere, just wish someone one give it.

Question

I have the same problem and it's driving me nuts. Wish I would of kept the one that was running. I have been in contact with support, with no support at all. I just emailed again. I have bought both pro's and now I have neither.Over a month now. I think they ought to give us the new cd.
I'm afaird to try d3a's approch. Guess I need to learn that stuff. Did anyone try?
If anyone has found out anything else on these quacky installers (15 for me) please post.

When I run the installer. It just bounces for a minute then exits. If I run it from a terminal, I get the following information:

[JavaAppLauncher Error] CFBundleCopyResourceURL() failed loading MRJApp.properties file
[JavaAppLauncher Error] CFBundleCopyResourceURL() failed while getting Resource/Java directory
Bus error


For those that don't know, a bus error usually means it's accessing memory incorrectly, say calling an address that doesn't exist. Likely, there isn't a fix for it, but is anyone aware of a workaround?
