Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

For OSX you need to find a terminal window. We are working on a killer OS X version with some help from Apple.

you type:

sh LimeWireMacOSX.sh

the capitals are important.

Unfortunately this simply gives you another blank icon {amongst other things.}

I downloaded LimeWire from download.com last night (it took about two hours instead of the predicted 19 minutes) and then I opened the installer and after I clicked on some things it took me to the main install part of it....but then all it did is say "installing uninstaller" and it wouldn't do anything after that. Is it just extremely slow or is something wrong? And I'm on a brand-new iMac. Thanks.

Thanks!
Like you said, after doing sh LimeWireOSX.sh you end up with a blank icon, but this is a runnable file. Someone told me how to run a file from the terminal, and it works in this case, so I thought I'd share in case anyone else is looking to know: from the same directory as Limewire in the terminal, type
./Limewire
(that's period slash the name of the file)

I've tried the above using the Terminal.app, but keep getting permission denied. It's getting frustrating...

Just one more time, could someone outline step by step the installation steps using the Terminal program in OS X, please?

Tx.

It always gives me such pleasure to see MAC users in distress. Take a group of people, make them as stupid and dependent as possible (I'm not by any means claiming that Micro$oft doesn't do exactly the same thing), the expect them drop back into a Unix shell to do something ( anything at all) . It's like asking a child to sauter some wires inside their Furbie.

I had the permission denied problem too and this is how i got it install. I think some of these steps may not be needed but it works anyway so don't worry.


1) move the file you downloaded into the same folder as the terminal application.

2) open the terminal application

3) use the commands cd (change directory one level deeper) and cd.. (change directory one level up) to move to where the downloaded file is. You can use ls to see all the files in each folder

4) type sh filename (where filename is the exact name of the file you got, capitals and all)

This should work. Hope it helps.
