Help!!! ok i just got this mac osx and when i tried to download limewire it worked and then when it went to install it wouldn't work can someone please , please help me! |
Which OSX and Which Limewire? There do seem to be problems with one or two combinations |
no it's ok i found it after an hour on the hard drive. but it's version 4.9. But really thank you for trying to help me! i really appriciate it! |
So problem is solved then? With a thread title like "Help" I thought you were drowning or something & was going to arrange for some life-savers to go out & rescue you. |
sorry! thnks though for trying to help, yes the problem is solved though. thank you! |
Wait!! Wait! I'm having the same problem, how did you solve it? I have a Mac OSX and I'm trying to download Limewire basic, so I go through the whole website (get basic, download for Mac OSX), and it downloads and pops up on my desktop as LimeWireSoftOSX but when I click on it it tries to open in excell for some reason, no installation option ever comes up, and it ends up quitting excell before anything happens. I used to have LimeWire and this all worked out fine but I had to delete it off my computer, now I can't get it back!! I've been trying to fix this four HOURS. HELP!!! |
hmm......... you are saying that you get an icon on your desktop entitled LimeWireSoftOSX [Is there an extention??? and what does it look like...??It shoud be a harddrive on a sheet of curled up paper] What you should have is one called LimeWireOSX.dmg and this should appear in your download manager window when you select the save location. I have just downaded the file myself wih no problems. My first action would be to Delete that file. D/l a fresh copy from http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...loadfree.shtml ( not from a link you may have used) Can you try Ctrl/clicking it >open with DiscImageMounter .. which should be the default for that file. Also Is this your firsttime with LW?? Did you get it from www.limewire.com? And did you pay for it? and are you on OSX or 9/Classic and did you D/L the correct one? If you sort it out PLEASE come back and tell us wow you did it :) |
yes, this is my exact problem too! I have both the .dmg and the soft. I know the .dmg is the one I want, but how were you able to finally open/run it? |
This is generally a browser issue. Explorer & Netscape don't handle dmg files very well. So poorly in fact that you probably have an incomplete dmg. If you re-downld it using Safari then the file will be a little larger in size & should mount without problems. If need be, drag & drop the dmg onto Disk Copy to mount it (not double-click it.) To find Disk Copy, go to menu bar & select Go>Utilities & you'll find it in there. Quote:

hi, yeah, I did get it from the official site. It was a browser issue though, thanks so much! I'm now up and running, getting some Dexter Gordon as we speak! Thanks! |
