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.

Do you have your iPod set for automatic or manual updates?

I'm sure you're frustrated & sometimes iTunes & iPods can be a pain. The reason that I yelled at you before was that you posted way too many times & it was a pain having to go & delete all those extra posts.
Ipod is set for automatic updates. Does that matter?

I'm not sure where it said to find the Explore button in iTunes do you? Select Saved Files folder & press the Explore button. Sample image here: Using Library Explore button to access downld folder (click on link) & the folder will open up for you. Make sure you see the video by rkapsi as suggested.

Default also problems with limewire

I've just purchased the new Ipod shuffle and I tried the trick posted about going to limewire, hitting explore and trying to drag the files to my ipod that way. Unfortunately, when I try and drag them over, a circle appears with a line through it, not allowing me to drag them over. I've tried all the methods shown in all the tutorials to no avail. I'm considering returning it and sticking with my mp3 player. No way am I purchasing songs through their store when I've got 500+ friggin songs with Limewire...ugh!

My limewire files do show up in my itunes folder under a shared file but I can't drag them over that way as well.

I really don't know why all of a sudden people have trouble adding songs to iTunes. Maybe some update (I don't let mine connect and it works just fine)

Just a thought (not the best way) but you could try clearing your iTunes Library then copying the songs in the Shared folder just in case something goes wrong. Now use iTunes to convert to m4a or ACC and add all the songs from the copied folder and then try adding those to your iPod.

P.S. I have never tried this myself since I don't own one, but it's worth a shot

What OS are you using? I'm a windows user, so:
The LW playlist that shows up in iTunes is just a playlist & so you won't be able to add from that.

Try going (in iTunes) file > add file to library. Browse for your LW saved folder (by default it's C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Shared...if you've changed to another location then tools > options > saving in LW will show you the location). Once you've found your saved folder, you can add from there.

If you want to add all of your saved files, you can choose (in iTunes) 'add folder'...again browse for your saved folder & add the whole thing. This will take some time.

Or you can open your LW saved folder, right click on a song > open with > choose iTunes...should go into your iTunes library.

I'm a Windows user too and drag and drop from the shared folder works for me (well I can't test adding them to an iPod since I don't have one).

If a Limewire playlist shows up in iTunes then you are doing it the wrong way. Why should iTunes register Limewire when adding from your shared folder (or any folder)??

Sometimes drag & drop doesn't work for some people, I don't know why. It works for me but doesn't for some people. The other ways are an alternative if drag & drop doesn't work.

The LW playlist shows up in iTunes if iTunes sharing's enabled within LW & LW's open. Sometimes people try to add to their iTunes library from this playlist.

Hmm.. Then maybe advising people to disable iTunes sharing in Limewire would help. That may just be the root of the problem.

This should not be an issue on the same OS. One more thing for the devs to have a look at.

Oh BTW could be the version of iTunes. I use iTunes 7 on a Windows XP MCE 2005
