Hi !
I said that LW was running during downloading... NOT during updating, because this updating happens after the reboot of the mac when it shows this galaxie screen.
But how to do with this link ? If I try to install it, will it replace the Apple update ?

I'm having the exact same problem as vosgpat. Downloaded new java update for OS X, and then Limewire wouldnt work. I fixed permissions as people suggested, re installed the java update, then nothing. Downloaded limewire beta 5.2.2, then it worked.

Thanks for letting us know astrolabe1976 Not sure why the beta would do the trick but has in past.

Sometimes reinstalling Java will fix a prior installation what might not have gone 100% well. It will not replace the apple update. It is the most recent Java update but is the Offline installer, where you have control over the installation, not a software program running in the background that is in control with the installation.

I'm not sure whether your system will allow you to install it as you might receive a message saying no update needed.

These types of issues with mac's system update not doing a 100% satisfactory job has been happening for many years on odd occasions for some people. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/mac-os...cing-dock.html. Online installing of Java for windows users can also sometimes be an issue (corrupt/incomplete installation).

im also experiencing this issue... using lw5.1.3 on mac 10.5.7 . did java update yesterday, now lw will bounce once in dock and not open. uninstalled, deleted all pref files via appcleaner and reinstalled 5.1.3 and getting same results. please fix

same problem here, after installing new safari and java, lw will not launch any longer

Hi,
I am having the same problem as the rest of the users, but do not know where to download the new limewire beta?
Please direct me to where I can do this.
Thanks

look back into this very small thread, you will see the link...

Try the LW Beta 5.2.2 as that seems to have solved the issue for some people: LimeWire 5.2.2 (Beta) - Lime Wire.

Other than that, has anybody tried re-installing the Java using the Standalone offline installer listed above in post #10? Doing this used to fix similar issues for some people a few years ago.

5.2.2 works, but i had the 5.1.1 pro version with turbo dl spead (real?) and 5.2.2 is definitely not a pro version...

If you still have valid Pro support (if you bought the 6/12 month support), you will find the Pro Beta version link on right side of your pro download page.

And no, LW do not hand out Pro versions betas for free so neither can I post a Pro Beta link on the forums.

I guess re-installing Java is not for you. My LW 5.1.3 works fine.
