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. |

 Quicktime, audios, and LimeWire Media Player Greetings, all. I would greatly appreciate some wisdom regarding how in the world to play audio downloads. I have that brick wall thing that shows I'm behind a firewall, but audio tracks seem to download just fine. But then they won't play. I get a QuickTime error message saying that "the movie won't play." But it's not a movie. Nothing happens when I try to play them with the LimeWire Media Player. And although I have iTunes importing enabled, iTunes won't recognize any LimeWire downloads. The user manual keeps directing me to the "Enqueue" button, but it's grayed out. Help, O tech wizards of LimeWire ...  Last edited by jwritty; May 13th, 2007 at 02:57 PM. Reason: Forgot to add important point  |

| Sounds like your audio files have QuickTime player as their default program. You need to change it to iTunes. See How to change default program in OSX & use iTunes as the program to select for both mp3 & m4a files. As for your firewall issue, we need more information; System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) Make sure your OSX firewall is configured or turned off; OSX Firewall settings for Tiger. However your firewall problem might be your modem/router. |

| Still no joy Thanks for your help, Lotr. I did as you suggested: both reconfigured my firewall to permit Gnutella/Limewire access and changed the default program for opening sound files. Now, when I select a downloaded file in Limewire and click "Launch," iTunes opens but nothing happens. The track in question doesn't show up, and the silence is deafening. Any further ideas? Thanks again for taking all the time and trouble you take to help technological idiots like myself. |

| Go to LW's prefs/options (keyboard shortcut: command/apple key & comma ⌘ ,) Then go to Media player, uncheck box & press apply. You may need to restart both LW & iTunes I am not sure .. it used to be like that, maybe not now. |

| Ready to give up Thanks for all your help, LOTR. I followed your suggestions, but still no dice. When I select the downloaded audio and click "launch" in LW, iTunes opens, but nothing else happens. I subscribed a few months ago to easymusicdownload.com, and they gave up on me long before you did: responded to my queries with "Sorry it's not working, we're refunding your money." And they did. So I guess I'm fated not to be able to enjoy music downloads on my computer--why, I don't know. I'm not a computer novice, although obviously new to LW and the protocols involved. I can usually figure my way through these kinds of glitches, but this one has me totally stumped. Thanks again for all your help. If you have any other ideas, I'm all ears. But I'm really starting to think it's just not in the cards. |

| I personally don't allow iTunes to automatically import due to 2 reasons. One, I like to check the songs & add/re-check/fix id3 tag information before adding to iTunes. Two, I have my iTunes library & program on an external drive which I only turn on when desired. So my image attachment sample shows it unchecked, but you should check the option where the red circle is. (click to see larger image. Both are animated GiF's so wait to see each.)  2nd image is iTunes settings. Copy files to iTunes & look for shared libraries I think should fix your issue.  * Warning, after changing settings in either iTunes or LW, it does not have an immediate effect. You need to restart both programs. After LW finishes downloading a song, it will open iTunes anyway.  |

| Thanks Lord for your hard triying to help. I have the same problem. Files that do not show a Bitrate Number, will not play neither in iTunes, RealPlayer nor LW Player. The downloaded files show on the information panel 3450 KB, but no Bitrate. Could there be the problem?? Thanks for your help Hansdiego |
