Grrr! New version no workie!
 

Hello!

So I opened up Limewire earlier this evening and was greeted with a little pop-up insisting that I "must" install the latest version. I complied and downloaded v 2.9.8 for OSX, which I installed....with "errors"....three times. It has replaced my previous version of Limewire and now my status message reads "could not download."

Am I missing something simple and obvious (not a computer genius!), or does this new version simply not work? Any advice will be appreciated tremendously!

"could not download" will occurr much more often now and it behaves almost like "requery sent".

Exactly the same problem. The program downloaded with errors still seems to be 2.9.7, not 2.9.8 at all.

Solution welcomed.

I'll reply here and to my own previous post.

Try running the LimeWire Uninstaller located in Applications/LimeWire/Uninstaller Data/
and THEN re-install LimeWire 2.9.8.

I don't know how familiar you are with the terminal app and unix commands, but I "fixed" mine by reading the LimeWire installer log, then going through and manually removing all the components that it had installed.

It still acts a little buggy - likes to quit unexpectedly if I run iTunes and LimeWire at the same time. But at least its no longer so slow I can't even use it.

Hope that helps.
