These volunteers keep the board organized and moving. Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity) Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. 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. |

 Installation Problems Solved!!! REPLY ANSWERS PROBLEMS DESCRIBED HERE FAQs No Help! Downloaded LimeWireMac.bin (11.8MB) with the MRJ installer. Receiving following messages/errors during installation process: 1) This application Will Run Using your current version of Mac OS Runtime for Java. However, a newer version of MRJ is included in this installer. It is recommended that you install it. Do you want to install the newer version of MRJ? <YES> <NO> I click <YES> (clicking on <NO> the installer reports ERROR "While trying to start the next step of the installer, an error occurred. Could not find fils 'install anywhere installer' please contact your Software vendor") 2) Soon after clicking yes the the progress bar of the installer advances and starts notify the following messages: a) InstallAnywhere is preparing to install...This may take a few moments. Extracting the MRJ installer b) InstallAnywhere is preparing to install...This may take a few moments. Unstuffing the MRJ installer c) InstallAnywhere is preparing to install...This may take a few moments. Waiting for Stuffit Expander d) InstallAnywhere is preparing to install...This may take a few moments. Running the MRJ installer Between c) and d) Stuffit displays many these warnings: "The integrity of the data fork of <filename> could not be verified. Use this file with caution."

If you do not need to restart your Mac, re-run this installer to complete the installation." <OK> (and that's the only button available). Pressing OK Error is displayed: "An unknown Error occurred.

 Problem Solved!!!  For Anyone Experiencing the same weird problem. Here are some tips! I had connected to my Mac an External Firewire Drive (Windows formatted). I went reading through the installer log that was in the trashcan after attempting the installation and I discovered that at its end, the installer was reporting that was unable to find some files...why? Because for some very odd reason was seaching on the Firewire drive. Of course the dumb installer couldn't find it, there's nothing to be found on that drive!!! I can really imagine a clear reason why the installer was attempting to access such drive. In the fist place I did not Download the installer there, nor I used the attached drive to save the unstuffed installer and in second place that drive is not even Mac formatted (HSF+), but is windows formatted (FAT32), so why the hell te installer was pointing at it in search of files that remains an obscure event to me...I use the removable drive only to archive cross platforms files like Quicktime movies and images Concluding, I can give you the following advice coming from my direct experince: #1 Before attempting the installation of any Limewire clients, be sure to disconnect any attached drives (firewire or Usb), especially if it is a Fat32 formatted drive. That might help avoid the installer misbehaviour described above. It definitely worked in my case. #2 Download and install the MRJ 2.2.5 (about 4.1MB) or latest version from the Apple site #3 Then Download the 4.9MB LimeWire Mac no VM from: Limewire.com other downloads page That's the same 2.5 version, but without the embedded MRJ installer This method should smoothen the installation process and also shorten your download time, since in such way you would be transferring only 9MB (4.1MB+4.9MB as mentioned above) against the 11.8MB of the full Limewire 2.5 installer Good luck!
