Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. 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.

docfiend is flying high
Default Not able to Launch

I just installed Limewire Basic 3.4.5.
I am running OS 9.2
I have iTunes 2 and it IS set as my default MP3 player.

HOWEVER... In Limewire, after i have downloaded a song and i hit Launch, nothing happens. I DO NOT have anything in my Options menu that allows me to set any player preferences. I have not found anything else in my search of this forum that can help me. Can anybody lend a helping hand??

Thought this was fixed. Looks like the OS hasn't mapped mp3's from LW to iTunes. Check by opening your hard drive and finding the folder you set for completed downloads (usually called "Shared".

Do the files have the iTunes icon?

If so, doubleclick to make sure they open in iTunes. That will tell you it's not an OS problem.

If iTunes won't open them, look again at the posts that tell you how to get iTunes to recognize the mp3's from LW.

Post back (I can boot into 9 to check here if necessary) and maybe someone currently using OS 9 and itunes will have a quicker answer.

Cheers

Thanks for replying!

I checked the files in my shared folder, and they do have iTunes icons, and do open in iTunes when i launch them directly from the shared folder. But i still cannot launch them from LimeWire--which i guess isn't a huge deal, but it would be nice if that function worked.

I just booted into 9 and installed LW3.4.5 Pro for Macintosh (NoVM).
The launch button worked, but for Quicktime.

So installed iTunes 2.0.4, set iTunes to be the default internet player during the install (also checked it in the itunes prefs later) and the launch button works: it fired up a partially downloaded song from the LW downloads pane to iTunes.

Yes, but as i mentioned in my first post, i have LW Basic (the free version)... not Pro. Is it possible there is a bug in the basic version that disables the launch? or is launch not supposed to work in basic??

There's no difference. Pro just helps the development of the LW project, and doesn't have any ads.

Did you try going to iTunes 2.0.4->Edit->Preferences and setting the preference to make iTunes the default for internet playback?

Yup... that was actually one of the first things i tried. Perhaps something got screwy when i installed LW to begin with?? Would reinstalling help at all do you think?

It should. I vaguely recall some problem with the iTunes prefs in the past. Might be worth trashing those first just in case.

You could also just trash the LW prefs (System Folder->Preferences->.limewire->limewire.props. That one has your settings. The fileurns.cache contains the hash of your shared files, and if you are sharing a lot, it's the one that takes so long to rebuild when starting up. If you only have a few files and don't mind starting from scratch, just trash the whole .limewire folder.

For a simple uninstall, run the uninstaller in the LW folder. You can run sherlock to find any other LW files that don't get uninstalled. The installer also writes a file called .com.zerog.registry.xml. I like to delete it, but I don't know what it does.

You can leave your incomplete folder as is (the downloads.dat file in it remembers what it can to resume incomplete files), but if you don't mind losing any incomplete downloads, delete that folder too to really restore your HD.

Hope trashing the iTunes prefs works, but going through the uninstall process can be good to know.
