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. |

 help Lord of the Rings "The application Limewire has unexpectantly quit" i posted the thread below in another section of the forum and it might not have gotten the best exposure. according to members of this board you seem to be the wealth of knowledge. "The application Limewire has unexpectantly quit" that's the result i get when i try and launch it. when i first installed it it worked great - then while running it my comp crashed. after rebooting i tried to launch Limewire and got the error message in this threads subject. i deleted and reinstalled many times now and i get the same thing. i'm running a mini mac with OSX - all software/java etc is updated. what am i doing wrong? if i need to uninstall java is it as simple as just going into utilities and dumping the folder? which version do i reinstall? sorry but i'm new to all this. thanks in advance.  |

 Sometimes a simple Repairing of Permissions can fix this. Try the following out one by one to see if one fixes it: 1. See SAFE Boot & Repair Permissions & see if this works. 2. If not, delete your LW Prefs folder (whilst LW is closed!!!) found here: /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire 3. Download & install the Standalone Java installer: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macos...update142.html 4. Double-click the harddrive icon, open the Library, open the Receipts folder, then find the file: Install LimeWire.pkg & delete it and try again. |

| A second after you choose Restart, hold down the SHIFT key & keep it held down until you see on the screen 'booted in Safe mode' (or something to that effect.) Then repair permissions. You can only repair permissions on a HDD with OSX installed on it. Whilst you're there choose Repair disk for the other. (You can only repair permissions for osx so to repair disk for OSX you'd need to start up with start up disk.) Do you have any other 3rd party OSX utilities by the way like DiskWarrior or Norton Utilities? Worth having around in case of problems. Norton fixed my external HDD. By the way nothing looks different after a safe boot. And for me a Safe boot seems to take a little longer than a normal restart. Last edited by Lord of the Rings; March 7th, 2005 at 12:37 AM. |

| Have a look at some of these fixes: icon bouncing in Dock (click on link) Some of these are a bit radical. |

| 1. (a) Make sure you have the most recent version of Java. (b) Try the Standalone Java installer because installing over the net can cause side fx. not sure what to do here? do i have to delete my current version of java and then load the standalone? if so is it just a matter of dropping the java file into the trash? i tried installing it with out deleting it and it wouldn't let me 2. Do a (a) Safe Mode start & (b) Repair Permissions, & then check with (c) Disk Utility & fsck, & if necessary run all other mac & 3rd party utilities (eg: DiskWarrior, Norton Utilities & AV, TechTool Pro) on your computer. tried - no effect 3. Uninstall LW completely (do a complete search to make sure you have trashed every single LW item incl. prefs. - though you could move the incomplete files including download.dat & bak somewhere else temporarily.) Then reinstall. i tried my best with this one - removed it from desk top / applications and utilities. how would i search for more? 4. Try out the LW Beta version (Pro users will find download link at bottom of their personal dwnld page) did this - no change 5. Install in a new admin user account to isolate a home account problem did this - then downloaded LW and tried to install. when i hit the install "lime button" it does it's little animation like it's about to install then does nothing. does it's little dance each time i click it but that's it. 6. Go back to earlier version of LW until a new update comes out. doesn't seem to be an early version for OSX on the site anymore 7. (a) Be radical & start completely over by reinstalling OSX & updates & then LW (as last resort only.) (b) Else, & probably 'preferable' is to install the Apple Combo Standalone installer. Updating over the net can sometimes cause issues so using a standalone installer & in one installation hit such as the combo seems to overcome some of those issues. haven't tried this - what's best way to do this? makes me a little nervous 8. Try the Jum Build which is a beta (more experimental than the regular LW beta) but easier to install. won't let me download it for some reason Last edited by craig evans; March 8th, 2005 at 07:35 PM. |

| The OS 10.3.8 Combo installer is the way to go then! http://www.apple.com/support/downloa...1038combo.html It seems to fix all problems that the Java installation can't fix. But you never did tell us your os version so I hope you're using 10.3 If not post back. |
