Default patch for Mac OS X 10.5.1 (Leopard)

Anyone hear when limewire will be updating to run on leopard? all it needs is a simple patch, it currently runs, but will not connect if you are running leopard.

Some connect some don't. Some have solved by re-installing the OS, particularly Java & getting the offline installers where possible.
Possibly and not unusual the problem may lie somewhere in Mac's own version of Java. Installation problems with java are not uncommon when using auto update (Softw. Update).

Re-purchase, else get LW Basic. If you don't wish to re-purchase, then Basic will suit your needs fine. But you cannot request others give you Pro on this forum.

hey everyone, this is my first post, but i have gotten limewire to work on 10.5.1 without any patch. the key is sharing. go to your system prefrences, and click on sharing. there you can enable sharing of different features, such as bluetooth, ether net, and airport card. there should be a drop down menu as i recall and just select airport. you can then tick "enable sharing" i then just restarted and boom! it connects everytime! that is all i changed, and i had the same problem everyone else had. by no means am i claiming this is an all in 1 fix, but i tried everything else everyone was saying and it didnt work, and with that 1 little click to enable it, it worked! i believe this is a new mac security feature so no one can pull files from you wirelessly without you authorizing it. not sure though...anyways, i posted this all by memory as i am reinstalling a few programs on my macbook and cannot pull up the option right now, i will check back and make sure that those are the correct names of the windows to do this, but that is what i did and it saved the day!

cheers!

-sean
