Lord of the Rings,
help me please! I have replaced my LW 4.18 (I think) version with the current LW 5.11 and since I have OS X 4.11 it won't run - I can't find a way to revert to my previous version of limewire... help please I would REALLY appreciate it!

1. Go to your Mac OSX drive, open it up. Open Library folder, then Receipts folder, find Install LimeWire.pkg & trash it. Example of where to find it here: Receipts folder sample image

2. Find LW 4.18 here: Older Versions for LimeWire & download the version for OSX 10.4 :) Install this version. With the newer version Receipt you would not be able to install the older LW so it needs to be removed first. ;)

(b) I gave the direct link above, but normally you will find the 'Older Versions' link on the right-side of the normal LW download page. It's on the left-side of the page for Pro users' personal download page.

thanks, but how do you install it?
 
Hi Lord of the Rings,
thanks for the reply.
I did step a) and b) alright - but when I downloaded (I had Pro by the way) the older version of Limewire, it downloads to desktop and when you double click on the folder it does not open the usual install window with the drop to Applications illustration.
Just a folder full of stuff -50 or 60 items - I don't understand :confused:and don't know what to do with.
Help please (again!:rolleyes_2:)
Sandra

I trashed the newest version of Limewire and placed the funny folder with the 50 .jar bits in the applications folder. Now all I get is a ? on the LW icon in the Dock.
???? OOops?!

Ok, sorry, took a second look and it seems I had downloaded a REALLY old version that was not for OSX. DUHHHHHH!!! now I downloaded LW 4.18 and it works fine - only thing is I no longer have PRO.... ;-(

Lord of the Rings February 8th, 2009 12:30 AM

oh ? How did your Pro support finish?

svb112 February 8th, 2009 03:35 AM

Finish? don't think it did - I had 4.18 PRO saw there was an update but didn't read the thing properly about JAVA and OS X Tiger so downloaded 5.11 and was left with nothing. Now, I did what you told me and the Limewire I have now, 4.18 is basic not Pro - can I get Pro back? without paying again that it...?

Lord of the Rings February 8th, 2009 03:46 AM

When did you purchase Pro? Did you get 6 or 12 months extended support?
You can go to the LW Support page & enter your email address. Link at top of page: http://www.limewire.com/support/ I usually recommend pro users bookmark their personal download page. If pro support was nearing an end, you'd receive emails from them warning you.
