Problems with downloading from limewire

limewire wont work even if you registered because limewire has been cancelled due to copyrighting and being illegal but there something similar that know i use which is frostwire http:\\ www.frostwire.com download it and install its very similar...

If its totally uninstalled you need to download a new copy from limewire.com and if you feel like the icon is just not appearing on the Desktop, you need to click on Start>All Programs and you will find the Limewire application there. Even if you reinstall a new copy there are chances that your previous uncompleted downloads will start again.

Maybe you can check at the end of the music file and make sure they are no other extension. Also, it could be that the mp3 files are encoded into a higher or lower codec which your device cant read. Check properly the files you download.

You will not need to download anything to Transfer Mp3s from Limewire to this Player. The songs you downloaded from Limewire should be in a folder somewhere. When you set up Limewire you created this folder or used the default folder they provided. Just connect your Mp3 player to your computer. Your computer should recognize it as a drive and Appear in "My Computer". Double click on the Mp3 player icon in My Computer. This will open up the player. Then with the player and the Limewire folder open just drag the Mp3s onto your Player. You can also use this little player as a USB storage device to store other files. If this did not help you please post a follow up comment and I am sure I can help you.

Hi amy_maguires

If you have recently got a new router, there would be a firewall on the router blocking the required ports for LimeWire to operate. To get around this, refer to your Router's user manual and find out how to access it and then unblock those certain ports. PLEASE NOTE: Do not attempt to unblock all the ports as this will increase the risk of getting your router and perhaps your computers infected with viruses.

If that is not your problem, you may be using and ISP (Internet Service Provider) that has blocked those ports as downloading music uses a lot of bandwidth which is a burden on them. If you have Satelite Internet, this is probably the case. You can try and resolve this by contacting your ISP and negotiating a price for them to unplock the port for you.

Please remember to give this solution a FixYa! rating.

not limewire........plug device up to pc (go to my computer) open the new icon (drive) find the folder you have the videos in , open it, now click and drag to your device while in my computer...you can also download musical vdeo (same as downloading music) using limewire (gives you a choice what type of file are you looking for audio,video,software etc....................) have fun enjoy

What firewalls you have, Look for yours here for instructions on how to configure it to allow both LW & Java full access: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

Update your Java: http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...radejava.shtml

Delete the LW Preferences folder called .limewire (whilst LW is closed!) & found here: Windows NT 4.0 / 2000 / XP: C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire OR for Windows 98 / ME: "C:\My Documents"

But keep keep in mind once you delete your LW Preferences folder you will need to reset all your LW option settings so you might want to make a note of them 1st.

Greetings!
Once you insert the mp3 player, the computer automatically detect the device, were you can see the folder inside of your mp3, create a folder from file, new, folder.

Now open the folder where the music was downloaded usually you can see that file at my document, save/complited folder, select all the file, copy

Open the new folder (which you created) in the mp3 then paste the songs that was downloaded.

To play the music in the mp3 player, just find the folder you created.
Thanks

Try this. We had this problem too and ultimately scraped itunes and went to www.limewire.com .
Burn you purchased songs to disk and then download the files to your device or just download limewire where all songs are Mp3 formatted and it is really user friendly. Download, highlight at lower screen at limewire and hit explore - then save file to mP3 device (just be sure to always highlight target song) and it is really easy. Good Luck and Have Fun!!!

i have the same kind. i have windows media player on my pc.
1. download the songs on limewire.
2. open up windows media player.
3. go to sync. and drag the songs from limewire to the sync area.
4. then click start sync when you get them all.
