I was sharing my iTunes folder. For some reason, once this was being shared, all the new songs i downloaded turned up in that folder, even though they weren't going into my iTunes itself, as I had hoped. I didn't do anything about it, just had two separate folders of completed songs. Then I updated my iTunes, which my mac does periodically as better systems become available. Now, my iTunes are no longer being shared and all the songs I downloaded in that file disappeared. I can't find them anywhere on my hardrive, even iTunes itself (where they never were anyway) except the incomplete files. When I tried to share my iTunes again, the file turns up in my limewire, but none of the songs are there, not even the ones in iTunes, which last time were added to my number of shared files. Needless to say I would like these missing files back. Has this happened to anyone? How can I find my files?

I am also disturbed that the limewire page covers up any other pages open at the time, and when I try to change sizes of other pages, it covers parts of them and cuts rectangles out of the page I'm working on.

Can you explain more about this ?

Do you speak about frames in your browser ?

Like most websites, for security reasons, the web site detects if it is visited from within a third-party web site frame container, and removes these spy containers, that hide to you the effective URL of the web page visited, and filter the displayed content.
Web sites that refer to other web sites using frames to keep a menu bar on top take up aluable space on your screen.

For security reasons, you should better navigate in a separate window when visiting any site, and the URL of the home page should be visible in the adress bar of your browser.

The LimeWire web site works with Netscape 4 (old Mozilla engine), Netscape 6 to 7+ (new Gecko engine), and Internet Explorer 3 to 6+, and probably correctly with other W3C-compliant browsers like Opera or Konqueror.

I think I was unclear, it isn't just webpages it covers or cuts up, its any open folders and documents too. It's usually just for a few seconds, although my limewire page was frozen ( I waited, clicked on it without results although all the other pages and programs responded) just before I restarted, and that's when it opened without my iTunes files. I should clarify it was frozen before I updated, but I ignored it and finished the installations. Does that help?

I know exactly what your talking about. The problem is that Apple's version of Swing is still too slow to display what's going into it fast and efficiently. (The list display won't update fast enough and will show little patches of what was there before when you select it.)
