I just upgraded from Mac OS 10.3.3 to 10.3.4 and from iTunes 4.5 to 4.6

Now when I download songs from Limewire,
they no longer show up in my iTunes Limewire
playlist. They are only in the appropriate shared folder on my hard drive. I have to drag them into Limewire to play them. Not that it's a big problem, but never had this happen before until I did both upgrades. Songs ALWAYS downloaded directly into iTunes.

I checked the Limewire preferences-and the iTunes
support is still checked (Limewire version 4.0.5).
I'm afraid to upgrade to 4.0.7 cause I previously had a terrible time with Limewire disconnecting my Internet cable connection. 4.0.5 is the first version that didn't cause this problem for me, also don't know if the latest version would even fix this.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Go untick and retick the box again.

Exact same problem here.
unticking and reticking the box in the limewire prefs doesn't help at all. The limewire list in iTunes seems frozen.
Any thoughts ?

Yes: make sure you also click Apply.
Otherwise, no, I have no other suggestions at the moment.

If you're happy with the version of LW you have, then maybe stick with it until 4.1 comes out. Other than what murasame suggested, I could only suggest to go 'utility' correction be that mac or 3rd party such as the usual main ones (Norton, Diskwarrior, TechTool Pro.) Startup from the Panther startup disk & repair permissions & check the other mac utilities. Previously in OS9 when you installed/updated software there could be minor problems which could be repaired by rebuilding the desktop or/& using 3rd utilities to adjust everything to normal. But OSX is not so obvious. Try my earlier suggestions & see if it makes a difference. If not, (& please try both mac & 3rd party) then repost back her to this thread.

By the way, DiskWarrior not only rebuilds the desktop but repairs any damage to the directory info. which is vital info. Otherwise you'll have saving issues, etc.

I'm not that dumb.
Thanks anyway.

If I may, you should definitively NOT suggest using Norton under MacOS X. Even Symantec (almost !) admitted it's a piece of crap and stopped it.

Anyway, my Mac is clean (says diskWarrior) and have no other problems than this one. It seems obvious that's a LimeWire's bug. Why not admitting that fact and asking people to check everything else ? I did, found nothing wrong. Still doesn't work.

thanks for your help guys.

You never know... There are people who forget to do that (or don't even know you have to do that in order for the changes to take effect...)

Thanks for the update (specifically when was that actually said.) Although it makes me wonder why they continue developing it. Version 8's certainly fixed problems I've had. I keep it updated. Not everybody does that which, yes can definitely cause issues! Version 7 was crap! I don't trust their OS9 version 6.0.5 to fix problems in OS10.3+ ! And a Mac tech recommended to keep Norton in my utilility suite. I'll keep your point in mind & see how well they continue to develop it.

It was my impression Norton v.7 was released as a reflex under pressure to have something available for OSX. But it was very under- developed (almost like a beta/alpha version.) I have a suspicion their comment refered to v7. V8 seems to be up to the mark. You need to keep all your utilities up-to-date b/c Mac OS updates reasonably often. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I didn't have the same issues when I updated to 10.3.4 or updated my iTunes (but I use LW 4.0.4.) Have you checked out Apple's FAQ's & such re: os & iTunes updates. You sound like a person who doesn't mind doing a bit of research.

I'm not sure if everyone here has figured out there problems as of yet, but, I just upgraded to OS 10.3.5 and iTunes 4.6 (15) {not sure what thw 15 means} and had the same problem. I went to iTunes prefs, clicked on importing and changed the setting for "import using" from AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder and it seems to be working now. Not real sure if this was the actual thing to do, being that I have no idea what AAC means, but it's working so I'm not complaining.

Hope this helps, if I'm wrong, feel free to say so. I could learn to.
