I accidentally installed LW on my MAC for the Leopard version 10.5 however I am running Tiger 10.4 When I installed the free basic version I never seen the version I was installing so after I tried running it I got the message that my JAVA update was incorrect and I needed to upgrade my operating system. So I went back to LW and noticed there was a link to older operating systems that I downloaded and tried to install when I got the message that I was trying to install a older version on top of a newer version and then got another message that nothing was there to install. There was no uninstall feature in the LW folder so I dragged the whole folder to the trash. Still no help. I read another tread that had the same problem but the advise was to go to library folder and search receipt folder. I have no receipt folder so that was no help.
Anyone have any clue as how to remove the old version of LW so I can try to reinstall the new/older version?
Thanks Bill

'Every' mac OSX user has a receipt folder. It's in OSX -> Library ... not your personal account folder. All my OSX 10.5, 10.4 & 10.3 drives & computers all have a Receipts folder.

Thank you, I see where I made my mistake, I went into my library and not into my system folder..
I found the folder... THANK YOU>..
my head hurts...lol

On my Mac OS X 10.4.11 I accidentally downloaded the wrong Limewire upgrade and all is lost. I tried the receipt folder, but it says there is an error at the very end and won't finish downloading.....Please help

erm .. do you mean with Safari/Firefox or whichever browser you are using? Simply cancel the download. Download the old version: Lime Wire » Download Out-Of-Date Installers

Unlike windows users, the Mac OSX installer does not install over the internet. The files/data are all within the installer itself. It's an offline installer.

As for the Receipt folder, you would need to be logged into an admin account to remove that file called install limewire.pkg from the receipt folder. Example of where to find it here: Receipts folder sample image

I installed limewire pro for my tiger. found every thing i needed and it installed no problem......Now what? every icon starts the install again,,,,,,What am i doing wrong?

You are clicking the installer. After you install, you should drag the installer disk image to the trash to unmount it. Then use the Go menu, select Applications, open the LW folder, open the LW program. After it's open, Control-click the LW icon in the Dock & choose Keep in Dock.

Ok so I have the icon in the dock but it won't open. never had problems before . my other mac is the same and its running LW....I would use it on that one but this is my music computer

Do you get an error message? Are you running an intel mac? Is Java 1.6 (Java SE6) listed near or at the top of the Java preferences? Setting up Java for Leopard (see 2nd image)

Running Java J2SE...no intel and no errors. I am running tiger 10.4
