so help ?
 

Under mac OS X you always repare authorisations after an update 8 But in this case it doesn't help, because the Java update has some difficulties...
Use this thread for more info and if there are still questions I would be glad to help you where ever I can, but in that case I would need more info about your computer, your OS version, did you do ALL the updates etc.

Good luck !!

I just had the same issue today - had been fine recently but installed my Mac updates and could no longer launch LW. So I had to get an older version off another site. While it's annoying that it's constantly flashing that there is an update available - until LW realizes that the Java update makes their new version fail. We're stuck. They specifically made the new version for our Macs (Leopard 10.5+, Intel) but obviously didn't account for other program updates.

I'd have suggested LW 4.16 instead. But your choice. ;) http://www.gnutellaforums.com/mac-os...ck-lw-4-a.html & see the LW 4.16 link.

LW Pro do give support if you are still a valid customer: Pro Support

Else, try the beta LimeWire 5.2.2 (Beta) - Lime Wire
If you are a pro user, you can find the link to LW Beta Pro on right side of your Pro download page as shown here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/345055-post6.html

I must admit, I had same problem with LW 5 not running. I did as I suggested & LW 5.2.2 runs fine.

Mac - Java update
 

The beta of 5 did not work for me - and 4.18 seems to work fine. I will stick with that until LW fixes the problem. And thanks for the support link - i actually did find it eventually on my own. The response was to send me to their download page to get the current version again and re-install. It was I believe an automated response to my problem category - rather useless advice. Hopefuly we will get a quick response from LW - there are a lot of people affected here and on other threads I see. The beta works for some, not others.

Two OSX's .. tried 4.16 & 5.2 on both & they worked fine, only 5.1 didn't work.

I found my browsers are slow as after the Java update. Feel as though I'm using dial up on OS 9 at times. lol :D Though Firefox is definitely handling the new java better than the new Safari.
