What can i do to fix this as i rerun the installer and nothing new appears.

Do i need another update first?

What can i do to get my limewire back!!

Thanks in advance

Go to menu bar, under the GO menu, select Applications. Then look for LimeWire folder inside there. When you find it, open the folder, double-click the program to open it. Once it's open, control-click the LW icon in the Dock & choose to keep in Dock. That's where you will find it in future.

BTW a keyboard shortcut to access your Applications folder is Command-SHIFT-A keys at same time. Command key is the one with an apple icon or the one that shows below.
⌘ SHIFT A

thanks thats helped but in my limewire folder the limewire icon is not their it has a big see through circle with a line through it.

when i click on this it says "You cannot open the application LimeWire because the Classic environment is no longer supported"

Any more help guys?

is your computer a 64 bit intel machine? if not then it's not compatible with LW 5. Best to downgrade to LW 4.18 Lime Wire » Download Out-Of-Date Installers If problems installing then remove install limewire.pkg from receipts folder in library. Receipts folder sample image

I am not sure i am using the an imac Mac OS X 10.5.6 With a 2.8Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor

Is the processor my main problem?

I have reinstalled the older version of limewire but would like the newer updated version could you tell me how to check to see if it is a 64 bit ... whatever the things called...

Thanks in advance nd for all your help so far

Easiest way to know is go to Java preferences & see if Java 1.6 (6) is listed. If it is, move it up the hierarchy; Setting up Java for Leopard. Java 6 only runs on 64-bit machines.

Your help has been brilliant so far thanks very much

I now have done it all have all the requirements but for some reason when i open the limewire folder in my applications the limewire image is not their it is a see through circle through some documents.

When i try to open this it comes up saying

"You can't open the appliation "LimeWire" because the Classic environment is no longer supported"

any ideas what i can do?

I've seen that reported before. Either means you have accidentally downloaded the OS 9 Classic installer v.4.0.x or your computer does not support Java 6. To check, go to Java's preferences & see if Java 1.6(6) is listed. If Java 6 is listed, move it to the top of list. Setting up Java for Leopard. Keep in mind LimeWire 5 only runs with Java 1.6. If you do not have Java 1.6 then use the appropriate operating system version for your system: Lime Wire » Download Out-Of-Date Installers but do not choose the bottom one on list which is the Classic OS 9 one. Image below is choices for old versions, the top one being 4.18.8



Below is typical error received when attempting to run an OS 9 installer or program (the cross through the program icon means it cannot be opened):
