Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) Moderators There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. 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. |

 cant connect Mac os 9.1 Please help me. I can't get LimeWire to work since i actually paid for it! When i try to download anything, a message pops up telling me that i'm not connected to the network when i AM online. The only option available for me is to select is "disconnect" What can i do? I am on dial-up. Mac os 9.1. I don't know what version of LimeWire Pro i'm trying to use - how do you tell? I never had this problem until i paid for membership. Any help would be appreciated and please talk to me in language a novice like me will understand. I've already tried double clicking on the attached .jar file. It made no difference. Thanks very much. Last edited by snowssnake; January 27th, 2005 at 10:03 AM.  |

| It's generally a good idea to delete your LW preferences before you upgrade to Pro. But you'll need to make a note of all your settings before you do this, b/c after you delete the prefs you'll need to reset them. Close Limewire (LW)! Now go to your Preferences folder & view it in list mode. The LW Prefs folder will be at the top of the list & is called .limewire Now trash this folder. Drag & drop into the trash or select it & hold down both the apple & Delete keys. This will send it to the trash. Next time you open LW, you'll need to reset all your options. And LW will create a new set of Preferences. To find which version of LW you're using, go to Help & see About... |

| Sorry, but i still get the same message. Perhaps i'm not answering the question about my connection correctly (Modem, T1 or T3) cuz i honestly don't know how to answer that - i think i selected "Modem". By the way, the version is 4.0.2 Last edited by snowssnake; January 27th, 2005 at 05:01 PM. |

| OK so deleting your Preferences folder didn't do the trick! Update your Java to MRJ 2.2.6 (& ignore what they say it's about OS 9.2.2! You can also use it in OS 9.1!) Restart the computer & rebuild the desktop file. This is healthy for the computer & should be done after installing any software & also at least monthly. To re-build the desktop: As soon as you select restart the comp., hold down both the apple & Option keys simultaneously until you see a message on the screen that says 'Do you wish to Rebuild the desktop', & you should click Yes or OK! As far as your settings go: Speed should be set to modem for a dial-up connection. Also tick Disable Ultrapeer Capabilities & press the Apply button. Go to Tools>Options>Connections & untick connect at startup & press the Apply button. Now close LW. Open LW & leave for some time (perhaps 15-20 mins), then go to LW's menu & select Connect. Let it try to connect for up to an hour. By the way approx. how many (a) incomplete & (b) shared files do you have? If you have many, it can take LW considerable time to load them all & then to settle down after it tries to connect to each individual incomplete file. If you have over 1,000 shared files then may I suggest that just for the time being, you reduce that down to perhaps 1/10th of the number. Once we get you connected you can increase it again. |

| still doesn't work i tried what you suggested but it's still not working (the same "you are not connected to the network" message). This is a message i recieved from Zanzele. Do you see anything wrong with her advice? Hi Blake, Please try the following: -Uninstall all versions of LimeWire. -Delete all LimeWire aliases and installers from your desktop and Apple menu. -Reboot your computer. -Download another LimeWire Pro installer, using your download url. -Reinstall LimeWire Pro. Thanks, Zenzele |

| snowssnake this is not LW Support. This is a forum. LW Support & the forum are different web sites. For Pro see here: service@limewire.com for direct contact. By the way, have you considered updating to OS 9.2.2? Downloads necessary are here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75288 I hope you updated your Java like I suggested earlier. Can you please answer these questions: 1. Which model of mac are you using? 2. How much RAM do you have? 3. How large is your hard disk drive & how much available disk space do you have? 4. Which 3rd party disk utilities do you have? The more we know the easier it will be to try (at least) to find a solution. |

| same problem I seem to be having a similar problem. Ive been using Limewire for years and it suddenly won't connect. It says connecting at the bottom but never connects. I have tried all of the advice in your previous messages still no luck. I havn't changed anything on my system(mac 9.1) and have tried re-installing it. No joy. Id be interested to hear any solutions you come up with. Thanks Madelaine |
