Hey,
I'm using a imac OS with 8.6 and I can download limeware fine, but when I try to install it it says it's corupeted. I have tried to install it more times than I can count and it alway says that it is corupeted. I have tried to install the versions 9.04, 9.1, 9.2 and it always say that I need to update my firmware and I tried to download firmware at download.com, and when I try looking for firmware at apple.com all I find is firmware for OS 9.0-OS X. It never works and I can't find 9.0, but I can't find it and i'm not going to buy it! So does any one no where to download firmware or upgrade to 9.0 with out buying any thing.

Thanks,
Darin

Hey Darin...please post back with more details.
Sounds like more than a Limewire problem.
What Mac computer...What upgrades
Firmware updates that work are only available a http://www.apple.com/
The Support Forums there are also excellent.

Hi,

1. The original message that something was corrupted is probably not a correct explanation of the problem. I've learned that Macs sometimes give an error message which doesn't describe the real problem because they don't HAVE a message that says the right thing.

That error message was a sign of some kind of incompatibility.

2. The other thing I've discovered through my own use of LimiWire is that once it causes a problem, the problem NEVER seems to go away even though we download fresh versions, upgrade, go to LimeWire Pro, rebuild the desktop, zap the PRAM, etc. I think LimeWire leaves something invisible on the hard drive that is almost impossible to get rid of and that SOMETHING effects every subsequent installation of LimeWire.

I've read many, many threads about various problems that REFUSE to go away no matter how many times the user uninstalls LimiWire trashes every LimeWire file, installer and preference.

My suspicion is that the LimeWire people aren't writing the CODE correctly for Mac.

I've had the problem of LimeWire windows and Wizard appearing with no buttons to click. But pressing ESC force quits the program. Mac users don't use ESC as much as PC people, so I think that's a sign that the CODE might work better for the Windows side than the MAC side.

Good luck.

Limewire doesn't install any invisable files. i suspected the same and searched all invisable files...none were related to LW. I did find a preference file " .com.zerog.registry.xml " created by LW which of course would not
show up in a Sherlock search.
I believe the original poster of this thread has multiple problems not related to LW ie; firmware not up to date,MRJ and /or Carbon Lib. not up to date,insufficient or marginal memory...beyond the scope of these forums.

Dave

I have updated CarbonLib from apple.com.

I downoaded LW (the last version for Mac Classic) from LW site

I proceeded installing MRJ and components LW installer asked me to do.

After installing MRJ My Mac restarted and began unpacking components for LW installler. After that program quit and do nothing.

I looked for files that LW installer unpacked, and found them in Trash. I catched them out onto desktop and start Lime_Wire installer in IA JavaInstaller (delete) 30870-folder. The program says "..Error Type 1 occured..." and asks me to reboot my computer.

I Increased the preferred size of the installer in the "Get Info". - Nothing changes....

The other products that required CarbonLib and Apple Script work correctly (for example - Macromedia Fireworks MX, Flash MX, Dreamweaver MX)

What do I need to install LimeWire?????????

=======================

first question....Did the MRJ installer worK?

I hate to mention this, but updating to 9.2.2 would increase compatability. I hestitate to mention it, because I know (having done it) that it can be a bit burdensome, but I think it's worth it.

ummm, 9.2.2 offers no upgrades that would benifit 9.1 compatability w/Lime Wire

Dave

Hmm...I was under the impression that 9.2 gave better compatability with carbon aps, but whatever. I've been wrong before, I'll be wrong again.
