Library not getting downloaded mp3s I just downloaded and installed Limewire on my iMac, running OS 9.1 When I download an mp3, it goes to my "Shared" file in my system folder, but does not appear in my Library. What am I missing? Thanks for any help. pbb |

Library still not showing all of shared folder downloads I have 71 files in my shared folder, and Llimewire shows I'm only sharing 20. I have done what was suggested, and it seems that newer downloads are showing up in the library, but not ones already in Shared. Also, "Incomplete" folder shows several downloads that are actually completed. Thanks for any help on this. pbb |

Quote:
eg: text files will have an extension of .txt or for Word will be .doc And for movies it will depend on movie type: mpeg=mpg, QT=mov, etc. Pics=jpg or photoshop=PSD, mp3's should have .mp3 at the end. So you might need to add the extensions to the files OR add the relevant extension types to the extensions list mentioned above. Hope this helps. |

Library still not showing all of shared folder downloads Thank you. Not too experienced at this, so it's great to have forums like this, and moderators to help keep things running so well. I'm now up to sharing 63 of the 71 files, having added .mp3 to the end of each. I'm only sharing .mp3s. Of the ones that still don't show up in the library, I checked them and 2 are .mp3, and the rest are listed as "movie player documents" (Quicktime) or "iTunes" documents. However, several files that DO show up in both places are "movie player documents" (Quicktime) or "iTunes" documents. So I'm still not up to speed on that. And still 2 or 3 of the files in my library under "incomplete" are files that I actually have (maybe I tried to download them twice, and kept one, but neglected to kill the other). Thanks again for your timely help. pbb |

I presume these files are within the iTunes library. Open iTunes & check those that are not showing up in the LW library. Are they mp3's or another type. There's different types of mp3 & there's also mp4 which usually uses m4a or AAC extensions. (By different types of mp3 I mean there's wma, rm (realplayer files), or ogg. That version of LW might have difficulty recognising some of those newer formats, particularly the windows ones.) Those that show up as Quicktime files, open them up with QuickTime & hold down both apple & i keys. What info does it tell you? This 'might' give you a clue. Also just selecting them on the desktop & using apple & i keys might also give you some clues. There are utiltities that can tell you all the details about the files but they're usually shareware. If you encode your own files do you use iTUnes? |

I have some better news for you. LW has just released a new LW 4.0.9 version for OS9!!! Yeah! Check it out: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=33991 & of course from here unless you're a pro user which would be from your personal downld page: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml |

Thanks. The version I have says itÕs LaunchAnywhereTM 4.5 Macintosh Edition. Created with ÒZero GÕs InstallAnywhereTM" I took a look at the link you gave me, and it looks like the one I have. It says it's 4.0.8. I think I got mine from this site. Also, just to ask another question, if I download a newer version, is it a major deal to uninstall the old, and will there be any problems a newbie like me couldn't handle? Thanks again. pbb |

The download site is ALWAYS SLOW to update. LW 4.4.4 was out for ages before the site updated the text. There's not much difference b/w LW 4.0.8 & LW 4.0.9 See changes HERE (click on link) & 4.0.9 initial comment So the version you downlded will be 4.0.9 & ignore the installer version no. That's only the installer version not the version of LW it installs. It should improve things for you. Yes uninstall the previous version 1st. It will only uninstall the the program folder nothing else! |
