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. |

 Can you please help me? Sorry if this question was asked already but I can’t figure out the solution. I downloaded Limewire Basic and when it was finished downloading I double click the Limewire icon to install and it shows up in the dock then closes after a few seconds. This is really frustrating. What do I do? I have a Mac OSX by the way.  |

| Reinstall Java. And yes... if you had have checked every one of those points you'd have an answer. So don't nag if you're too lazy to try the techniques. If you don't want to go to the effort of finding the solution to "your" problem then don't use the program. |

| I just read that right before you posted it. I'm sorry if I came off as being rude its just that i'm so confused with all this LW stuff right now and it seems like nothing is working for me. I just tried downloading Java and then the nightly build, and it came out as a document (and btw, all the time when i download things, they come out as documents, so I can never download anything) so when i downloaded Java it came out as a document and said, there is no specific application to open this document. This is so confusing to me and i'm trying my best to fix this. And it would be so nice if I could have same help. |

| Don't use Explorer because it's not totally OSX compatible; it can't handle many OSX formats. Instead use Safari or another browser. You can find Safari by going to the Go menu, choose Applications, then safari. This problem is generally Java related. But it's hard to know. We can only give suggestions since the solution might be a little different for each person.  |

| Actually, I'm using Safari, but the problem i'm having is that when I try to download Java to reinstall it and nightly build, it says its a document and then says there is no specific application to open this document. And also, when I download limewire, it downloads fine, but then something comes up saying Double-Click To Install, so I did that and then the limewire icon on the desk-top opened then 2 seconds later, closed. That's where my problems are.  Last edited by xholly25x; September 20th, 2006 at 07:08 PM. |

| Did you try a safe boot & repair permissions? That's odd for Safari. Control-click the dmg file & choose open with ... & find Disk Copy on the list (or image mounter is best.) If not there, then choose other & search for it. It's found in the Utilities folder.  |
