Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


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.

submit the report to Apple, again and again and again.

They will not respond, but it will be tallied and we been waiting for Apple to fix its java for a long time. Maybe your report will be the one that finally encourages them to put out a fixed java installer.

Default security update won't install

I'm having the classic 10.3.9 limewire won't start problem...Tried a few fixes mentioned....

The security update won't install..I removed the file from the receipts folder as mentioned...still no go?..I get an error saying the my volume doesn't have a version of Java Web Start that needs updating?? Along with a big red exclaimation point!

My hunch is that there were software updates downloaded that were for tiger and not Panther...and that may be causing the problem...

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks

there's a version of Java Webstart in the Applications/Utilities/Java folder.

The red arrow means you have a more recent version installed, and thus the installer won't overwrite a newer version.

So, try deleting the version of WebStart that you have (and the receipt, if merely removing the Web Start doesn't work).

Check, too, if you have any login items ticked in the System Prefereces->Accounts->Login Items. A safe boot should disable any of those, so you could try installing java while in safe boot mode.

I'm having trouble with my limewire as well. I thought that it was a problem with I tunes blocking it b/c I updated at the same time it stoped working. I have the new frostwire.

I downloaded the latest update and installed. I also checked to make sure that the file was not in my reciepts folder (and it wasn't there)...Still is not working. Won't start at all, it just bounces in the dock once and then stops.

Any other ideas?

Safe boot & repair permissions. Get the jum version LW & see if that helps. You will find the link (indirectly) for it earlier in this thread.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure I know how to do this. I've had macs forever, and I work on them everyday, but I've never had a problem like this. I'm not sure how to do what you posted above.

Right now I have:

Quicktime 7.1.3
I tunes 7.0.2
mac os X 10.3.9

I read through all of the suggestions here. First I removed the reciepts mentioned and tried to install the plug in listed, it didn't work. When I tried it again with the other receipt, my computer would not let me install (as some people mentioned). Eventaully, I was able to reload the java with the link posted at the top of the last page. I tried to revert back to older versions of Quicktime, but the links listed here didn't work, and I couldn't find an older version on my own.

If you could just help walk me through my next step it would be great.

Thank you so much, I'm really trying to get this limewire working, I paid for the upgrade and it hasn't worked for over a month

see if reinstalling java will help. Here's a thread where the fellow got his LW working again by reinstalling java http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...tml#post267159

Here's the link for the 10.3 java update Apple - Support - Downloads - Java for Mac OS X 10.3 Update 5

You'll have to find the appropriate receipt in the Library to delete first

Hi Stief,

Thanks so much. I did what you said. Downloaded, looked in reciepts. Didn't see a 1.4.2 there. Then I downloaded it. Do you think I need 1.4.2 in the first place since this was an update.

I am posting my reciepts here..Maybe someone can tell me why this still isn't working...Hope this isn't too much:
