your music isn't available or your connection doesn't allow gnutella searches.

No. We have used Limewire on these Macs before. The music played fine and all that, but recently nothing is working. So.....Yeah.

That's probably why!!! Many schools try to block p2p b/c it uses up too much bandwidth which they pay a lot of money for.

Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?

Please supply more details about your set up as required by the forum rules: Forum Rules (click here)

As far as your music goes ... use iTunes instead!!! LW will struggle to play consistently if LW is too busy. Playlists are only reference files ... the LW playlist in iTunes is simply a playlist & if you move any of those files then the playlist won't work! Import the songs automatically to iTunes & forget about the LW playlist & you'll be fine. Other than that, have a look the at the Stickies in this section & look at the iTunes threads & links.

Default Okay....

Okay, I have done the little test and it said it worked. The school network is somewhere around T1 and about 7 in my classroom and a bunch of others in the classrooms in the school.

I am not using LW to play the music, it just won't let me download music.

So what happens exactly? Do you get search results? If you select any of them to downld what happens?

Why not try a really popular one with lots & lots of sources ... just to see what happens. Try the beatles or let it be.

Okay....I just logged back into my account and got on LW and the thing says turbocharged connection. I dont know why. But here is what it does. I type in the song or artist I want, and it gets results but when I click on one, it says either it needs more sources or just connects forever. I am trying Beatles-Let it Be right now, I will post what happens soon.
