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.

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. |

 LimeWire bounces once in dock, doesn't open I have installed the most recent version of LimeWire onto my MacBook with Leopard (OSX 10.5.7). I have used it many times successfully in the past, but now, when I attempt to open LimeWire, it bouces up and down exactly once and does not open. I have tried to restart my laptop and that doesn't work... what should I do?  |

| Have you ever had success with using LW 5? If not you will need to downgrade; http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...downloads.html Reboot into safe mode, holding down the shift key until the apply icon shows. Then log into your account. Open Disk Utility & repair permissions. Reboot normally. See if that helps. Make sure Java 1.5 is somewhere near top of the list: Setting up Java for Leopard (see 2nd image) |

| Yes, I have successfully downloaded 50+ things from LimeWire 5 in the past many times. Does "Java SE 6" mean Java 6? (see attached picture, those are my current settings for Java) |

| Yes it does. Move both the 64 bit version javas further at top. Not sure how much difference it makes but it might. Have you tried setting up a Test account to see if LW behaves properly there? Setting up a Test Account in OSX (click on link) |

| I just made a test account, and LW still bounced up and down exactly once while in the dock. I also tried to downgrade to the 4.something version, but it was too complicated. What should I do? |

| If downgrading to LW 4, you need to first remove the install limewire.pkg from the Library receipts folder; Receipts folder sample image |

| I have the exact same issue with the icon bouncing in the dock and not opening. I've tried these suggestions but no success  Anything else we can try?? I have the same specs as "colbybermel" with the exception that mine never opened. Thanks in advance! |

| Not giving diagnosis or anything, but this happened to me once before. I would click away and it wouldn't open for nothing. Turned out sadly...that i had a *TROJAN*  , want to know why I emphasized the word Trojan? because it's bad, as bad as MJ.If a Java update didn't do it then i recommend an Anti-Malware scan. If it isn't a virus then it might be a compatibility issue...? |

My daughter had the same type of problem with a macbook (intel processor, mac os 10.5.7 After JAVA update from apple LW did only bounce ones in the dock and that's it. So what we did is the following : download offline installer for the latest Java - this didn't help.. Putting Java 6 higher in the list... this didn't help Then we did all apple updates that were available for her macbook, throwed away the install limewire.pkg (this wasn't necessary, but ok...) repared authorisations (a must after updates !) and installed LW 5.1.4 everything OK. Most of the times this is a Java problem (like doing the Java update while a browser is running). You can download the offline installer here :http://www.apple.com/downloads/macos...05update4.html Normally it will install without bizarre messages. Reboot, repair authorisations, install LW 5.1.4 and normally it should run. To my knowledge there are no troyan horses that are able to cause problem to a mac. succes ! |
