I can not get my limewire to even work
 

I dont understand what I have to do to start downloading my music. Where am I going wrong:oI have spent atleast 5 or more hours on trying to make it work. Please help!:confused:

What exactly is the problem?? Are you connecting to the Network??

Please supply system details or at least let us know what problems your having.
We might be able to help with the Limewire problems but we can't read your mind

I am having almost the same problem... I'd just downloaded the paid version of Liwire 5.12 and it is not letting me type any song's name to search for...
Installed on an
Apple Mac Pro 2.16 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
Leopard OS X 10.5.6
Does anybody has the same problem??

Or any solution?
Thanks !

I've seen same problem with others. Not sure if there was a simple answer. Have you tried deleting your LW preferences whilst LW is closed: Deleting LW Preferences folder in OSX.
Something else to try, might not make any difference is to move the Java 1.6 up or down on the Java preferences before opening LW: Setting up Java for Leopard.

Another alternative is to get LW 4.18 pro instead. It has more tools, less bugs & is more stable than LW 5. Pro download page (click 'Classic' link on left side of page) (click 'this' link to see image). However if you do decide to get LW 4.18 instead, you will need to remove the install limewire.pkg file from the Receipts folder for it to install; Receipts folder sample image

I had the same problem-just wouldn't launch! Fellow Forum Member- Lord of the Rings was very helpful to me and lead me to a link where others were having the same problem and they found the 'fix' by uninstalling and reinstalling your 'JAVA PLATFORM' - go here to do so:
www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp.
but download the 'OFFLINE' version. but first uninstall your current version. I dd and it launched right away. goood luck ! Sorry the url didn't come out as a hyperlink- just copy and paste it into your URL line.

I spent more than one hour trying to fix my lime. Conection is ok, but cant type anything to search. Then I tryied to download lime 4, but that link isn't working too.
My system is OS X 10.5.6
How could I download limewire 4?

That link doesn't work, then I went to LM home page and find the LM 4.
Limewire 4 is working fine in my Mac.

Good to hear. :) Which link is not working? I simply posted an example image to show where to click on the Download page if you're using Pro.

I thought that image was a link.
The LM 4 is working, but I coudn't download Pro (4). When I try to download Pro only open the Pro 5.
How can I upgrade to Pro 4? Thanks.

Ah .. go to your LW personal download page, if it's still valid, & click on the Classic link on left side as that image suggested. :) If you forgot to bookmark your personal pro download page, log in near top of page you will see a link for pro users here: Lime Wire » Support (has a green down arrow beside the link)
