gabe_ Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I'd say Limewire is doing you a favor by not starting... But that's just me. I don't use limewire, but aren't accounts free? Why not just sign up for a new account?

SpeedfreaK Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 but it are mac os x accounts (limewire works under my brothers account, not on mine), and if i make myself another one, i have to transfer settings and all my stuff and that's a bunch of work. and what do you use for gnutella, fasttrack or edonky downloads?

macprogrammer Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 frostwire also won't work on my accounton my brothers account it does. strange... Could you give us some more information? Does it bounce on the dock a couple times and then quit? Or does it not do anything? Or you could forget about it considering the nature of what can happen to you if you use the program in certain illegal ways Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93301-limewire-wont-work-on-my-account-leopard/#findComment-689819 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedfreaK Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 limewire starts up and after 2 seconds it freezes and crashes and i don't use it illegally Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93301-limewire-wont-work-on-my-account-leopard/#findComment-716791 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ongeloof Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 limewire starts up and after 2 seconds it freezes and crashes and i don't use it illegally Personally, i couldn't care less if you did... Have you by chance moved the Limewire.app out of the Limewire folder in the Apps folder? If so, this could be the problem... And sorry you have to share a Mac...

DJChee Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 If it doesn't work on yours, but it works on your brothers, then there must be some account setting is wrong.. try going on the administrator account and going through your account's settings, you might find something there that you can try changing so that it will allow you to run Limewire. I couldn't live without Limewire, hope you get it fixed Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93301-limewire-wont-work-on-my-account-leopard/#findComment-717205 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedfreaK Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 i've tried some things: reinstalling java and moving the app out the applications folder and it works! i moved it back into the applications folders and it keeps working, so the problem was java based. maybe some system updates could have solved the problem, i dont know anyway, thank you for your help!
