Ok, hi I am new yada yada yada. With a n00b, here come a new problem.

Here's the deal. When I try to start the installer (I have burnt it on a DVD) it will tell me to restart the Computer. I did that, and then once the computer is done restarting, nothing happens? I put the .DMG file in the CD (because I had to burn it on Windows, because my Apple Airport was working correctly) and then I put it on my Mac and everything started fine. Everything except the setup. I then tried the other way, but it won't show any other HD or Partition. I don't have an external HD nor do I have an IPOD (I really should get one too :p). Can anyone help me here, or am I doomed?

you cannot burn a bootable mac cd in windows. Use the installer method that pureedit said earlier in the thread

You guys have to remember that this is an earlier build of Tiger than was previewed at the Keynote so some of the effects might not work as expected yet even on supported hardware. We will have to wait until later on to find out what the requirements are. I will bide my time and see if my current hardware is supported well enough before putting it on ebay. :)

You can create your own gadgets with a coyp of textedit (or emacs) and and a few hours of spare time.

Step 1:

Create a website that works the way you want your gadget to work.

Step 2:

Create a file called "Info.plist" that contains the following data:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.
com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
        <key>AllowMultipleInstances</key>
        <true/>
        <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
        <string>com.apple.gadget.IDENTIFIERFORYOURGADGET HERE</string>
        <key>CFBundleName</key>
        <string>GADGETNAMEHERE</string>
        <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
        <string>SHORTVERSIONOFYOURGADGETHERE</string>
        <key>CFBundleVersion</key>
        <string>LONGVERSIONOFYOURBUNDLEHERE</string>
        <key>DefaultImage</key>
        <string>default</string>
        <key>Height</key>
        <integer>HEIGHTOFYOURBUNDLEINPIXELS</integer>
        <key>MainHTML</key>
        <string>THE"INDEX"FILEOFTHEWEBSITE</string>
        <key>Width</key>
        <integer>WIDTHOFYOURBUNDLEINPIXELS</integer>
</dict>
</plist>

Step 3:

Place the info.plist file into the folder with the website, renamethefolder to whatever.gadget.

Step 4:

Place the whatever.gadget folder into /Library/Gadgets (~/Library/Gadgets will probably work too)

Step 5: log-out/log-in.

Step 6: Press F12 and see that your new gadget is in the list.

I've written a few basic onces already. I'm trying to figure out the methods for pulling data off the web (like the sharktank) because I bet I could write some cool stuff.

Don't blame Apple. If the card can't handle the functions, it can't handle them. Nothing that Apple can do will change that.

well, they are creating software that requires the latest and greatest aren't they? and isn't that there strategy? the software sells hardware?

its okay, since i am hoping to get a g5 powerbook when it arrives :p

You are truly an apathetic individual if you believe that newer software should competely suppoort older hardware. Technology changes all the time and if anything, Apple is been committed to making its operating systems compatible with older systems. In fact, the recent operating systems released by Apple have caused speed improvements in older systems; something its Windows counterparts lack. I'm sure if Apple had the capabilities to do so, they would make Tiger's "Core Image" fully compatible with older systems.

Morever, you are foolish if all you look for are "video effects". What matters is the system itself, not the pretty GUI. MS-DOS was a very stable operating system and it had no "bells and whistles". Be thankful that Apple is even making Tiger compatible with older systems and is also making it faster.

Here's what I'd like in Tiger

I'd like a battery indicator that's FRICKING ACCURATE

I hate having it say 5:12, a seconds later jump to 3:05, stay normal for a while, then say 1;30 when I'm at 10% left

re-calibrate your battery, or if you have had it for 1 year, buy a new one :happy:

      Supposedly it's fixed on Series consoles: https://support.forza.net/hc/e...e-Issues-in-Forza-Horizon-6 This game is so much better than FH5, and it's all because of the map. It's diverse, big, and so much to see and do. I've bought every single Forza Motorsport and Horizon game, and by far my least played is FH5 at 100 hours, followed by the latest Motorsport. They've finally made a good one with FH6

      Sorry to be that guy but, Given Trump won again even after a failed first term it would appear attacking the other side is how to gain Government in America. Voters when it came down to it didn't give a s**t about those Democratic achievements and voted for Trump over an intelligent, qualified mixed race woman. We need to face up to this uncomfortable reality. There are more Americacan voters who support racism and christian bigotry along with defending and supporting pedophilia, adjudicated rapists, multiple time convicted felons etc than those who don't. Btw, that is how the world sees America now. Not that Trump voters care as they attempt to cocoon themselves in a white supremacy bubble.

      That's not clickbait. Clickbait is headlines like, "You'll never guess what this person looks like now" for example. For goodness sake, take a look around the internet if you think this is clickbait. How do sites survive if people don't click through to articles? How many people in all honesty would have clicked this if it had your suggested headline? You and those upvoting your post won't be happy until the web is a couple of hundred websites all behind a paywall.
