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.

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.

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. |

 I didn't ask you earlier how much free HDD space you have & how much ram. Under apple icon on toolbar, you'll see an option either called About this mac or System profiler. Select it & then select More info ... And that will show you your hardware set up. For most programs, OSX system will give each program as much ram & Virtual memory as they need at a given moment. In most cases there's no way to control this (unlike in OS 9 & earlier.) Virtual Memory (VM) btw is when ram is stored on the hard disk drive (HDD) instead of actively in ram. LW tends to use a lot of VM.  |

| not sure where the warning is coming from- will check the next time it appears- but I was running Classic 9 - on which I have my old photoshop - as well as LW on OS X so maybe that did it- ;-) Also, my download window now predicts it's going to take 4 minutes to finish downloading LW.dmg (from the official site - just in case the version I got and paid for has issues - whereas before it was predicting 20 hours!!! Weird!!!! |

| here's the info on the memory..(attached) is that ok? I usually just use my mac for the net and some basic stuff - but then I was spending most of my time in an office... will using LW overcrowd my HDD memory then? any place I can store downloads that will do less damage? |

| Classic mode can use a lot of resources. So it may slow your system down a little. As far as helping goes ... some of us spend many, many hours online.  (We're all volunteers! Not enough pay for us!)I have 2 internal HDD's which are all partitioned. I save my downlds on a different partition to the OSX system drive. If you have a 2nd drive then that might be a good move. Otherwise just be careful. BTW you can check how much RAM & VM LW is using by opening the Activity Monitor which is found in the Utilities folder. As for port forwarding. The instructions I have are for windows so I'd need to improvise a little with OSX instructions for setting up a static ip which is required for port forwarding. But it would still be extra helpful if you could find out the model number of the device. I presume it's listed in the 1st section of the info about device. Click on the + sign to open up more options. Also look for UPnP in the routing section. |

| ok, i'm definitely getting the "full start up memory" messages from OSX! not good! here are attachment pics on LW from the activity window as per instructions and memory - not so good huh? seriously, dunno how to partition or whatever, but I NEED my computer to stay with me... please, what can I do? |

| 768 MB ram is ok. I have twice that amount but it was on special at the time I bought my G4. By the looks of your ram type, are you running a G3 or G4 or earlier possibly? What's the speed of your computer? You have 58% idle ram in that image which is quite ok. Perhaps close/force quit the classic environment whilst you're using LW. I've also noticed odd things about starting LW whilst having classic mode running. Yet I'm running Tiger OSX. |

| G4... but things are not good- I've shut Classic 9 and restarted the computer... It now says I have 1.74 GB free on HD! and things are slower believe me! I tried opening the activity monitor again but it just won't - maybe not even enough start up memory to do that left... Plus I have no idea who can sell me more memory here - we've just arrived.... I've also shut down LW for now. Any ideas....? |

| Erm ... 1.74 GB is definitely not enough. And that's probably why you're running into problems. Next time you reboot, check how much OSX space is available with no applications running. Perhaps it's time to make space. I had to do that also. I ended up moving many programs onto a different partition (those that allow it ... some demand to be run from the OSX system partition.) Or moving some of your other files off to make space. An external drive is good for backup. I have 2 internal 120 GB drives, 2 x 250 & 1 x 160 GB external drives. And about 200+ dvd-rw disks. lol eg: I moved my iTunes library onto an external drive. My iTunes Library is about 90 GB now! You might also want to consider this: Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue! which I apply now & again but only very selectively only. That's because I'm after very rare files. Attached? ... you're obviously editing in the attachments after posting. BTW I'm going offline soon! Too much work & no play makes tom a .. |
