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. 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. |

 iBook download problems Hi There, I'm a new subscriber to Limewire. I have a clamshell iBook (running system OS9.2.2, with 256megs RAM, 300 Mhz). I've installed everything ok, a breeze actually, I was impressed by how well it all worked, until that is, I started to download my first music files. All goes well throughout the process, it downloads, verifies, and gives me a green tick to say it's finished. But when I click on the file to play it - nothing happens, zilch - it must be corrupt or something. Out of the ten or so files I have tried so far only about 3 have downloaded ok. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong. By the way I have an ADSL connection running at 1/2 meg. Any clues would be greatly appreciated, it's so frustrating to see all the music there and not be able to use it. Thanks.  |

 Open LW, go to it's Preferences, click Saving and look at the place where the files that you download are saved. In the Finder, browse to that place (it should be named Shared) and try playing one of the files like that. Personal suggestion: always play the files like that, using a separate, dedicated application ( Quicktime, iTunes, what have you) and let LW do what it does best.

| Thanks for your suggestions. I've tried those and still my download success rate is around 5- 10%. Most of the time it goes through the whole process fine but leaves a blank icon in my shared folder that is totally unplayable by iTunes or any mp3 player. Very frustrating now. Surely I'm not the only 300Mhz - 256ram - G3 iBook out here....... |

| Do a search on the forum for the word blank or document & you'll find some solutions or suggestions at least. They can be fixed. There was an iTunes utility (no longer made) which allowed you to drag & drop any mp3 onto it & it would change the file's icon & default app to open it to iTunes. You can have it if you want it. I spend too much time in osx nowadays. I forgot to mention, they other way is (in the short term) to drag & drop those files onto iTunes. That works!

| I remember another user having the same problem and the solution they found was to shorten the filename: it would seem that the filename was too long and the extension got truncated. I'm surprised LOTR didn't suggest the Mac Swiss knife (or something to that effect). Since I don't use that app at all (I don't even have it and I only reinstalled Classic on my Mac to play Diablo 2 so... not much of a Classic user) we'll wait for LOTR (or someone else with experience with that app.

| Yes Mac Army Knife will do the job. You'd choose the File Attribute Editor, drag & drop your file into this program window. Then change the type & creator. Type should be MPG3 & for the Creator for iTunes it should be Hook. Press Update. Other fixes can be seen here (see link to Stief's suggestion!!!): http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=29223 This is fine for mp3's. But for other types of files, you'll need to drag & drop healthy files into Mac Army Knife to see what creator & file-type they should be & use those. eg: for Sit files: Creator would be SIT! & type will vary depend on version of StuffIt: eg: sit4 or 5 or the newer SITX for that type of sit only. Type version for SIT files is not too important (except for sitx.) More on cannot open anything (MacArmy Knife settings - click on link) Last edited by Lord of the Rings; February 10th, 2006 at 12:26 AM. |

 My Lord you sure are worthy of your title! I downloaded a copy of Mac Army Knife and followed your instructions to the letter. It worked perfectly - every download now plays after they have been through the software. Many thanks to you and others for all your help. One last small question. My daughter has a PC, do I have to change the Creator and File Type entries ('MPG3' and 'Hook') for her to play them on her PC? Thanks again! |
