Ouch. No easy solution yet; this problem looks like an issue for a new thread.

Developers of other java apps are noting a new conflict with the QuickTime 7.0.4 Update and 10.3.9, and the solutions to the previous problem don't work this time. I haven't found a link to a practical fix so far.

Quicktime 7.0.4 kills Java application

Here's the link to an uninstaller Quicktime 701 Reinstaller for Quicktime 7.0.4

On the Final Cut Pro forum, the attitude is always a wait & see approach, re: updating QuickTime. Better to wait & see whether it's safe to update. It's not uncommon for updates of QT to have some kind of bug.

This QT upgrade appears to be the problem! I have just returned to QT 7.01 from 7.04 and lo and behold my limewire is back! Now seems to be working fine, these Apple upgrades should come with a health warning! How are novice users meant to know the implications of these upgrades?

Thanks for the info.

Thanks lord of the riings for your help hopefully ill be back to limewire in no time

i tried the QT 701 reinstaller; it did not work.

I am using OS X 10.4.5

also, i am getting the error "segmentation fault" when I check the OS X 10.3.9 Java update issue. I try to run the proper update, but the installer will not recognize my drive ( I assume it is because of 10.4.5)

I don't know if this applies to everyone else, but after upgrading to Tiger I found an external firewire capture device wouldn't work due to QuickTime. The solution is here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852
After that I installed QT 7.0.4 & LW had no problems running with it at all. I guess the problem might have been having QT 6 still on the system in my receipts folder. But I never did try QT 7.0.4 before that so I don't know if there would have been a problem for me also. (BTW I've heard a rumour Apple might get rid of their firewire options. At least the FW800.)

frozlee try reinstalling your Java. Use the "Offline" installer from the apple site. I'd also recommend updating to Java 1.5 & forcing LW to use 1.5 if you haven't done this already. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301073 for instructions for forcing LW to use Java 1.5 & Java 1.5 can be found here Java 1.5 release 3. I'd also recommend deleting your LW preferences folder whilst LW is CLOSED found here /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire

Hi, i'm new here and didnt know how to start a new thread so here goes. I just got a new macbookpro with osx4.10 and my old limewire wasn't working, so i deleted it, and attempted to download the new version, but when it downloads al i get is some sort of weirdly name .exe file. i thought it might be the quicktime problem, but deleted quicktime and now it goes to excel or something like that. i should be getting a .dmg file right? help. thanks
