Semi-Offical OS X Tiger Chat


Recommended Posts

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:

    • Same Internet Archive seemed to grab the new version https://web.archive.org/web/20...d/Setup_MakeMKV_v1.18.4.exe Here's the link to an additional file it periodically downloads https://web.archive.org/web/20260213092148/https://www.makemkv.com/sdf.bin I think update's keys, etc. To manually trigger this update, put the sdf.bin file in the root of where the program is installed. When you launch the program it will pick up the file and import it. Typically put it here: C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\sdf.bin
    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
    • It saddens me when cars are such dull colours now. Mine is bright metallic blue and I absolutely adore it for standing out in contrast to that depressing backdrop of traffic.
