I have the latest version of Limewire on my PowerBook G4 which is a mac
and I can't download anything!!! Nada, Zip, Zilch..

to help, see the forum rules for the info that folks need to help figure out your problem.

Sounds like your LW cannot even get connected, which sounds like it is being blocked.

See License requirement (click on link) & Revert Popups to Default option, & see if that fixes it.

mac the user X Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Mac OS 10.3.9)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.

For OSX's firewall, go to System prefs > Sharing > Firewall & make sure it's turned off or configured for LW as in Firewall configuration instructions (click on link)

Mac OSX 10.4.2
none
512 MB
62.4 GB
DSL
Modem is 2wire859 and using wireless router Airport Extreme (most recent version)
Home
version is 4.9.3.7 and Java is 1.4.2_0.9
ISP is SBC
no sharing

Also what is strang is it worked before and I never had a firewall active.
LW works on my Mac Mini at my Dad's house.

Its not showed in the firewall preferences. what is the TCP and UDP port numbers?

omg im so lost i just want to down load i have no idea what you all are talking about ..............:( gosh i feel slow

jEsSiCa, LW should allow you to search and download quite easily.

If not, it will be tough figuring out what is wrong and we'll need the kind of info to the questions LOTR listed above.

Try and answer what you can, and we'll try to help you with the rest.

cheers
