One bounce in the dock, then NADA. Nothing. Zilch.

Uninstalled, reinstalled, downgraded to QuickTime 6.3. Zero.

FIX YOUR PHUCKING SOFTWARE!

Some basic information, such as what version of LimeWire you're using, what version of OSX you're using, etc... would be relatively helping in helping us to fix our software.

OS 10.2.8, LimeWire 3.6.6

Same problem here. Never had any significant trouble with Limewire till I updated to 3.6.6. Now the icon just bounces once and quits. The previous version worked just fine. I'm running 10.2.8 as well...

Hey *** Hole

That really says it all, but your set-up and post suck. Use the search button or learn to be a Peer.

Have you figured out why it works for so many of us? Maybe that will tell you why yours doesn't.

You want attitude or help? Peers help Peers. Leeches are not welcome.

Reply Reply--did you see that Apple's QT 6.4 update coflicted with Java? Post back if you need the link to downgrade.

Otherwise, trash all existing LW stuff, including the dock icon and the preferences folder to get a clean start. Also, reboot holding down the Shift key after the starrtup chime to get into "Safe Boot" mode (this runs a repair check), and Repair Permissions on you hard drive using the Utilities->Disk Utilites program.

Reboot, download a fresh installer, and let us know if that works. It's the usual basic trouble-shooting routine.

If it doesn't, open the Utilities->Console and watch what kind of messages you get. Post those and maybe someone will have a better idea of what to try next.

i have had the same problem, it doesnt work on my 600 ibook, but does on my sisters 800 ibook... could it have to do with a limit on processor speed? my sis is running 10.2.8 os x, as am i, but i think she may have a slightly older version of limewire (working) on her computer. Maybe we should just all find the older version... or just screw limewire since they dont care about us os x users, and switch to somthing like Acquisition. Its faster, and easier to use, simple, everything. So, limewire, if you would like to keep your users, i suggest you work on this problem....

No. It works on my kid's 500iBook, my 700iBook, and our family 800G4 iMac, all running 10.2.8 w/o the QT upgrade Find them here if you think that will help
http://www3.limewire.com/download/
http://www9.limewire.com:82/download/Flamebait Bull. Read the Beta Announcements to see they work greatly on OSX. Don't forget they are the ONLY P2P team that still supports ALL Mac OS's from 8.6 and up, including 10.1 (Acq is only for 10.2 and up) More uninformed flamebait. Acq cannot have faster transfers and connections, since those speeds are controlled by the LimeWire core that it uses, as Dave will tell you if you are not ignored. Please--switch! Here's the link . Maybe you can help them with the problem of the downloads disappearing

You might find it better to spend more time giving details about your problem (sounds like the QT upgrade and router port-mapping improperly set up for multiple p2p servents).

I would like the link, please.

I'm having some weird problem with Java. I have the same computer at home and at work. Mac G4 400 MHz 512 MB RAM running 10.2.8. The one at work runs fine. On the one at home, Safari started crashing. LW ran for a day, then started crashing as soon as I updated to the pro version. This is why I think it's Java-related. It's the only thing the two misbehaving apps have in common.

Any helpful hints are welcome!

Thanks.

Hi Ernest: here's the link
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120255

btw--also keep an eye on http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120242 for when Apple will release a Java fix.

LW has recently caught and fixed some more bugs. Perhaps the beta version will help. See http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=22299 for more info.

Usually people have the opposite problem to yours: when they can't connect at work but can at home it often is firewall/router related. Any chance a firewall/router is involved at home?

Cheers--post back if . . .

OK, confirmed I have save version of QT and Java on both identical computers. LW crashes on start on home computer. Tried this:

The LW crash log is *really long* I won't post it unless asked.

Thanks!
