Using downloads - new to this
 

I have the following set up:-
Mac os 9.2.2
Limwire 4.0.10
Cable modem - NTL

Once I've downloaded somthing what do i use to operate the download. Sometimes I've had messages to use certain software that I have and sometimes there are no suggestions at all and the download doesen't work.

Also how do I ensure that I can take downloads that are suitable for macs.:D

Actually I think this thread is more appropriate in the General Mac section, so I'll move it.

Have a look at the Sticky at the top if this section & see if it applies to you. On OS9, sometimes the files are blank documents with white icons. Hopefully that thread sticky & its links will answer your question. Tell us how it goes.

mp3's, m4a, etc. should be fine for iTunes.

Videos - well Quicktime will play all types so long as you have the correct plug-ins (CODECs)

Softw. - Look for .SIT files, but you'll need to be aware of which versions are compatible with OS 9. You'll need to do your own research there.
You may find some bin files which are also meant for OS 9, but don't get confused with bin files used for windows CD image files.

Downloading for macs
 

How do I ensure that I download programmes etc. that are suitable for Macs I'm on Mac os 9.2.2 and limewire version 4.0.10 with a cable modem. Is it that I can only put example - games for macs as this turns up different results.

Is there an option to highlight mac only software etc. to download.

No there's not. You need to know what you're looking for. Use the advice I made above.

Sorry about the double post new to this as well thought download issues were general so put them in the downloads and posted the mac only request in the mac general. Had a good look around but wasn't quite sure.

Thanks for the advice geezer and will try and sort it soon and give you feedback cheers again.
