^here is the ITunes error:

"LimeWire was unable to start the Digital Audio Access Protocal Service (for sharing files in iTunes). This feature will be turned off. You can turn it back on in options, under iTunes.-> Sharing."

Likewise I once went thru a short period of DAAP iTunes errors, but I was using a LW beta at the time.

Unless you're connected to a network you don't need DAAP to be enabled.

Try these things:

1. Repair LimeWire using the Add/Remove Programs utility. Go to Control Panel then Add/Remove Programs & click on Limewire on the Change/Remove button & it comes up with options and one of them is Repair. Try this.

2. Right-clicking the Limewire icon and going to properties and changed compatability setting to Windows 2000.

3. Update your Java version 1.5 (take the JRE)

4. Right-click on the Limewire icon on the desktop and click on Run as. Then it should come up showing the current user and then switch it over to Administrator.

5. Delete the LW Preferences folder called .limewire (whilst LW is closed!) & found here: C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire

6. Try forcing ip: Force IP instructions & sample image


Open LW & let it try to connect for up to an hour. Then do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is it True/False?

Thanks for your help. I'm using Windows XP had problems downloading after a search, followed your directions and it appears to work now. I was careful to not only close LW but deleted the LW process that was running in background as well. Maybe this is causing some others a problem. Appreciate your support.

My problem sounds very much like "I really am Nikki's". I open Limewire and it stays at connecting forerver with only the tiny bar turning green. I also get the IPod error. I've tried deleting the preferences, I've enabled my Norton Internet Security to bypass the firewall and did the Windows Firewall enable stuff. I clicked on the test page link and that was succesful (which I believe means my firewall is ok?) but when I did the Bug report and sample image thing I got a false reading. Here's my computer information.

Windows XP with all current updates
Norton Internet Security
Plenty of Ram and hard drive space
I have a cable modem provided by Cox but I'm not sure what kind.

I read a suggestion earlier that Cox may be the problem but they deny blocking person to person transfers.

Thanks in advance for whatever help you can give.

I was gone for about three weeks and I've been back for one week and haven't been able to connect at all I press the connect button and it doesn't respond at all please help

OMG OMG OMG

It is working! I had done everything but force the IP correctly. I was missing a step!

Also as a previous poster mentioned, I noticed that once or twice even when I exited LW and shut it down from the taskbar that there was still an active process running that I had to shut down.

I am so happy right now I almost pee'ed!
