Where did you get Java141DP10.pkg from?


Which version of the OS are you using?

he got it from ADC before 1.4 final was released. Java is not the problem, did you erased limewire totally as David91 suggested? This is the way to go. Save your files elsewhere, delete your shared and incomplete directory as preferences.... If it doesn't work try a reboot. This is the ABC of solving a Mac problem.

Bonne chance!

...and then reinstall, I assume?

Hi sneekee_d

I apologise for being sidetracked but, as I said earlier, Limewire does not use Java 1.4.1 and whether or not you have it on your system is irrelevant. Limewire still uses Java 1.3.1. You need to uninstall Limewire, and then track down and trash everything with "Limew" in the label. Go through the Safe Boot cycle to repair any file damage (you could also consider repairing Permissions using First Aid to overcome any problems that might have arisen if you have downloaded any system upgrades recently — I'm on OS10.2.6 myself). Then download the latest version of Limewire and install that. As a matter of interest, are you having problems with any other applications? When I upgraded from OS10.1 to OS10.2 I encountered all kinds of problems (like the Print Center refused to recognise my "old" printer, etc). Your problem may not be specific to Limewire but part of a more general system screw-up. You might find it useful to go to www.macattorney.com/tutorial.html for general help in taming the Jaguar.

Never give up.

You still haven't explained how it mysteriously started working on my machine, then. Just a freak of nature, hey.

I think I recall seeing the answer to your question lodged in the Rattus interior receptical you so courteously referred our readers to in your earlier post.

Ok, cleared out all traces of Limewire, re-installed & it still will not open. In fact, I don't even get a "bouncing lime" any longer. Just a slight hint that there may be an application that wants to open by way of the dock making an ever so slight movement. Grrrrrrr....

Are you a **** just to **** people off or can you just not stand that someone can answer a question without you understanding how it works. Maybe you should spend less time being a smart **** and more time researching why things work and then you would not be surprised when it happens.

Again!! Please try to be civil.. we disapprove of insults on this board

Unfortunately, my next suggestion is a little radical and can take a bit of time to finish but it works most of the time.

Please sit down and then cont. reading.

Archive and install OS X w/ preserved User settings and preferences.

One problem that can occur is that, after all that patching from the original version of X you had installed to the current one, things get a little muddled up.

If you archive and install with the save user settings and preferences option turned on, you can then just install the combo 10.2.6 and java 1.4.1 and you will have a far cleaner running system. As it is, you have an OS, then you have patched java 1.3.1 onto it, then you have patched a developer version of 1.4.1 on and then patched that to be a full 1.4.1. A new OS will be cleaner and far less patchy (if you mind the pun).

I guess the question is... how much do you want to run LimeWire?

BTW, all this was said on the assumption that you did repair your permissions and perform a file system check... is this a correct assumption?

Don't give up. We'll try taking you back to an earlier version of Limewire and see if that solves the problem. http://www3.limewire.com/download/2.9.8/
