I assume you just copied Safari.app over?

Parts of Safari are built into OS X, such as webkit, and if the problem lies there then you could use as many different versions of Safari as you like, but it just isn't going to work. I wouldn't bother to try to solve the problem at the moment. Wait for a later build of Tiger. It's nice, but quite buggy and obviously an immature build - things like this were bound to crop up.

Well not copied it, but launched the one in the applications folder of my panther partition.

Anyway i'm not too much worried :), it only seems strange to me, because everyone here seems to posts fine from Tiger.

The bug is that every song is being displayed twice? I don't use Tiger so I'm just guess... :D

Actually, it looks like Everywhere is selected and I assume the music library was copied over to the Tiger drive/partition.

I think the bug is the sidebar. It's all brushed metal.

Right, so I'm new here and need some help.

I want to install Tiger, but apparantly, like you guys said, it won't let me install on my HD that has Panther. I have an iPod, but I don't want to boot from that, nor do I want to have Tiger and Panther on the same computer.

Is it possible to install Tiger, but get rid of Panther? I don't want to lose my files.

Sure, there's an option called 'Archive and Install'. Basically this installs a new system, but maintains the user directory, so you don't lose your files. You can also check a box which will keep some system settings (such as network config too) - although I probably wouldn't recommend that. This is the safest way to do the process without backing up your data. Could you not backup your home directory to your iPod and format though?

Anyhow, hope that helps...

Quote from Apple:

Archive and Install: This option saves your existing system files in a special archive, then installs Tiger. You can choose to automatically import your user information and settings into Tiger so you don?t have to reconfigure your printers, Mail and other applications.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By Paul1979UK · Posted

      It depends, but it's also going to push more adoption of open source AI models that can run locally, I'm seeing a pattern among the US and China when it comes to closed and open source AI models, they close when they feel they have the advantage, open up when they feel they don't. This has little to do with security and everything to do with control, the irony is that the ones that do go open and get the community behind them are the ones that have the real control, hence why we keep seeing this seesaw from closed to open. Ultimately, it's far too dangerous to let any one country or corporation to control AI, which is why open source AI or AI you can run locally on your hardware is very likely going to be the future of AI over the long run, this is especially the case as AI becomes more powerful and useful for user, privacy, security and censorship will become more of an issue for users and businesses.
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      A person should only be required to click through to an article if they want to know more details. The headline should give basic facts. A basic fact would include the name of the service being shut down.

      That would probably be a good outcome, but it would also require other "features" be changed to comply, such as Auto play, scrolling, and advertising. Having the laws shift these platforms back to a socially responsible and useful places is a benefit for everyone. The addictive nature is the problem, and while many blame the individual, psychologists would suggest the platform is using a well trodden playbook to hook in more revenue..

      It was a rather nice rant as I rather dislike when people support the shitifcation of the Internet. My comment also factually applied the definition of "clickbait' to this headline unlike your comment. I have been reading this site for some 20 years now so I will call them out when they are doing carp they shouldn't be doing but thanks for your concern. You can't even do a search by headline anymore to do a quick search to find something because most of the titles lack all the relevant keywords that should be there.
