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.

Default Limewire crashes after pro notification screen, Mac OS X 10.4.7 Intel MacBook Pro

I had ZERO problems installing Limewire, but when I launch it it starts and gets all the way to the screen telling me about limewire pro. Now If I leave this screen up it will still run, but as soon as it goes away, by either hitting any of 3 buttons or clicking the close button (red X) I get a faint glimpse of the tip window before it crashes. This what is the console output:
[JavaAppLauncher] application launched with ppc-thin application stub. Using native application stub instead.

Default Me too...

I have the exact same problem; I can get to the ToolTips, but it then disappears. Ick. I tried leaving the tooltips open, but it just crashed after about 30 seconds anyway. Running MacBook Intel 2.0 gHz, OS 10.4.7.

Maybe it's an Intel thing? I know a couple of other programs aren't working for the Intels quite yet.

EDIT: On a second look, there's no crash log for limewire, but there is one for it in the java crash log...

Yep the 1st problem is a java issue. It sounds like yours is too. Recommended is to get the "Offline" standalone Java installer & reinstall.

I'm not sure if this is for intel or not: http://www.apple.com/support/downloa...lease4ppc.html as it says ppc. But search the apple site for an appropriate java reinstaller.

BTW if it refuses to install (such as a "null" message) then see Receipts folder sample image about removing the previous Java receipt package & then reinstalling. That sample image is for Panther I think but the same principle applies.

Default ok..

I have tried all that before:
Safe Boot / Repair, Removing Receipts, Reinstalling from the Offline installer, all of it.
Nothing helped.

Enclosed is a full round of logs on the crash, maybe that will help shed some light on it.

Default oh ya.

I did replace the PPC stub with a native Intel one. That at least cause OS X to create a crash log, so I could gain some more info.

This really doesn't sound like a Java error.

Try this ... set up a new account on your computer & install LW into it. If LW works then you know the problem is with your main account. BTW accounts are easily created & deleted. Use the Accounts section of your system prefs to create a new account.

I think now with OS 10.4.7 Java 1.5 is the default. It might also be worth as an experiment swapping it over to Java 1.4.2 for LW to see if you have the same problems. You can do this using using the Java utility Setting up Java 1.5.

Invalid memory access of location 00000000 eip=9ba40767
Bus error

An unexpected Java error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:
Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (1.5.0_06-64 mixed mode, sharing)
Bus Error (0xa) at pc=0x9ba40767, pid=496, tid=25169920

I saw a lot of thread_blocked recordings. The impression I get is the resources are maximising attempting to overcome this issue but ends up failing. Something is failing with the Java. Though I'm not sure why Bus error is implied. Unless it's an illegal bus location. Or that's simply where the data loading is failing. I'll need to get some advice from others about this.

Those are java crashes. There is little you can do if reinstalling java updates don't do it. Try to see if deletion of the Limewire preferences folder in Your user/library/preferences helps.

If you are adventurous enough, you could download beta java updates from Apple developer connection web site https://connect.apple.com

This is not encouraged if you don't know what you are doing though.

Ciao
