can't search for anything
 

eh.. I'm using lmewire 4.8.1 cuz my mac is only a 10.1 (do must upgrade) I have it all installed and when I go to the search I narrow my search by clicking the audio tab.. Then I pick a genre like, rock, rap, etc.. I click the search and a window comes up that says: LimeWire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connect. At the bottom is a box you can check if you wish to not display the message again. I dont check the box i just click ok and a search tab comes up with a loading bar on it. The bar reaches full but nothing loads in the list.

I have read some other threads on going to tools.. I never found anything about license warning which may be the problem.. I found the popup thing and ticked return to default but it didnt seem to do anything.

Much help is appreciated :)

For the change search license i followed the step by step instructions.. The given pictures for the mac instructions look very similar to my setup.. I click on preferences.. I click on the searching tab.. instead of something that says basic i got something that says limited.. however when i click on the i get the same window with the first box saying maxium searches than its just blank below that.. I don't have another box that says license warning above.. is the license warning somewhere else?

P.S. in pop ups when i click return to default and click apply the window that you click apply on disapears and the preferences is back where is was and the box i checked to revert to default becomes unchecked then i close preferences and no changes have seemed to taken effect..

Considering in my preferences<searching<limited<nothing that says license warning.. In the step by step pictures it shows similar set up with the dialog box above saying maxium searches which is set on 5.. then below that is just white.. blank.. nothing.. nada.. so if the license warning is hidden some where else in the preferences or something please tell.

urghh i have the same PROBLEM!! and i need help too can someone help mee??

We'll ill be keeping this post up for awhile.. I assume you are new to limewire just like me... I never used it before and was introduced to it by a friend.. But i really don't gewt why they make a search so diffucult.. Ussually its the downloading part I have problems with...

I'll be leaving my computer on over night so if anyone gots a solution to our problem MUCH THANKS APPRECIATED! :)

Hey guys see this thread by Lord Of The Rings. Explanation for both PC and MAC.

Hope this helps. :D

Unfortunately I have read that post and as i mentioned above...

I go to the preferences and click on the searching tab.. everything looks very similar except instead of the first tab saying "basic" it says "limit" When i click on the limit tab (or link i should say) the main page in the center loads up the same exact window in the step by step guide by "lord of the rings" the first window tab says "maxium searches" and that is the only little window box thingy. On the guide by lord of the rings is has that box maxium searches and below that is the license warning but mines doesnt have that license warning there.

Hey Twisted, Sorry I can't help you out here, I'm not familiar with LW 4.8.1 and also I'm on a PC. LOrd Of The Rings I think is your best bet here. You might have to wait until he gets on. Again sorry I couldn't help. :(
